Amanda grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago before moving up to the Chain O’Lakes area after marring her husband, Kirk. Before children, Amanda was a high school math teacher then decided to stay home after having her first daughter in 2016. She first started attending stroller strides class when her daughter was about 9 months old and immediately fell in love with the fit4mom community. She loved being about to workout with her daughter and be able to be apart of a supportive community. Amanda had two more children. She began teaching Stroller Strides in the summer of 2020 and also began coaching Body Well soon after.
