Testimonials
"I few years ago I had a shoulder injury that limited my movement and strength. It was challenging to find a trainer who would discuss mobility, stability, and strength programs to get me back on track - until I met Amanda. I started training with Amanda as part of the new member program which led to working out 3 to 4 times a week! I've been training with Amanda for one year now and I consider her one of the most experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated trainers I’ve worked with.
Amanda is focused on helping me reach my goals and makes every session challenging and fun. My fitness has improved noticeably with an improvement in my ability to use my shoulder, gradually lift heavier weights, and generally push myself harder during each session. Amanda made sure my technique is always correct. She’s very reliable and punctual – always ready to start training with a planned workout routine.
I highly recommend Amanda. I am extremely grateful for her time, knowledge, help, and patience. As a result, I am feeling healthy and very fit."

I've trained with a lot of personal trainers over the years and Amanda is absolutely one of the best (this is coming from someone that was a certified personal trainer). I have been working with her for about a year and a half, collaborating closely with my physiotherapist. She's thoughtful, intelligent and builds challenging and targeted programs. She always keeps it positive even when I don't feel like going - I appreciate that!

Amanda is the quintessential partner to help carry the weight of where you are to where you want to go. I've worked with many personal trainers, and Amanda is the best I've worked with, bar none. Not only has she cultivated an atmosphere that makes me actually look forward to getting to the gym, but as a Kinesiologist, Amanda brings an unprecedented knowledge to our training sessions. As a particularly tricky client with Muscular Dystrophy, progress is not a guarantee, nor is it to be hoped on. However, working with Amanda, we have found progress. Where doctors told me strength was lost, she found it, and hope along with it. If you've made it this far in the testimonial then stop looking elsewhere. If you're lucky enough to get to work with Amanda Morch, do it.

Amanda is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and able to adapt to your needs and requirements. Every program she makes is unique and tailored to your goals. 100% recommend - I've been weightlifting for 15 years and she is far and beyond the best trainer I have ever worked with.

Working with Amanda has been nothing short of life changing. I came to her with a mix of injuries - notably a lifelong condition of Erb’s Palsy and chronic, debilitating knee pain. Most trainers I’ve worked with in the past just skipped around these issues, and I never really saw real progress.
But Amanda, with her strong background in Kinesiology and focus on injury prevention has managed to get my upper body strength to an unprecedented level in just over half a year- something therapists in the past couldn’t do. She also empowers you education and proper form.
As someone who didn’t think working out was an option, to now working out 3 times a week, I can confidently say Amanda is the perfect partner to start or continue your fitness journey, and her commitment to her clients is unparalleled.

I love my workout sessions with Amanda. She offers the perfect mix of education and challenge. I trust her guidance because I’m seeing results and she continually motivates me to do better. I always favored cardio over weight training, but that’s changed since I started working with Amanda.
