About a year and half ago I was at the lowest point of my life; I was officially at rock bottom. I found my myself in this deep dark hole of misery and sadness and I didn’t know how to climb out of it. Fast forward (I’ll save you from the tears and drama), I got help and told myself I WLL start showing up for ME like I do for everyone else. I decided I needed to find a personal trainer to help hold me accountable, but also someone who is aligned with me and will understand my goals, needs and life as a mom. I started following Elev8 Fitness a long time ago, because I was going to “get it together” a while ago, but everything happens in divine timing. In June as I was searching for a gym, who comes across my timeline…Elev8 Fitness. It was as if it was meant to be; hence the name Elev8 and that’s exactly what I was doing in all aspects of my life….elevating!
From the moment I walked in, it felt like home. Everyone was friendly, people smiled and spoke to you like they knew you, and it was my first time there. It’s a little family. I met with Amanda and it was like BOOM!! This is it, she is the missing link to help me complete my final task of working on myself. She has pushed me, motivated me and held me accountable over these 12 months and it has been WORTH IT!! I have been consistently showing up 4 days a week and I know I would have NEVER done that on my own. I would have talked myself out of this a while ago and had a donut or cookies (it’s easier to be fluffy). I’m glad I kept showing up for myself, I’m grateful for Amanda for pushing me and being patient with me with all my leg slaps, tip toeing and whining 😂 with her I’ve gotten leaner and stronger. So far, I’ve lost 54 lbs, 42.5 inches, and 22.5% body fat and we’re just getting warmed up!

I’m a busy homeschooling mom of 4 boys ages ranging from 6 to 8 months. With each of my 4 pregnancies I developed severe preeclampsia. Normally it goes away on its own after a few weeks postpartum, but this last time the high blood pressures were not going away. I was almost 6 months postpartum and my blood pressures were still incredibly high to the point the doctors were trying to prescribe medication. I am personally someone who doesn’t like taking anything no matter what, especially when breast-feeding but obviously as a Mama of four and in my early 30s, I didn’t want to have a stroke.
That was a turning point for me. I knew changes had to be made so I wouldn’t have to go on medication for the rest of my life.
When I started training with Amanda at Elev8 Fitness I really had zero gym knowledge and wanted to make sure I not only had correct form so I didn’t hurt myself, but I also wanted to build my confidence in the gym.
I trained twice a week with her in person and followed a program of workouts she wrote up for me to do on days we do not train together. Amanda has been great with keeping me accountable and motivated while giving me that push I need to continue to reach goals I have for myself. Every week I can tell I am getting stronger and I can see I am building muscle. I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone who’s looking for a personal trainer.
This is the results of 4 months. I am down 8 pant sizes, 35 pounds, and my blood pressure’s are almost within normal range🙌🏼

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible journey I've had with my personal trainer Amanda at Elev8 over the past eight months. From day one, she was not just a trainer but a true mentor who provided unwavering support and guidance every step of the way. Her informative and positive approach helped me understand the gym equipment and safety protocols, which made me feel more confident and secure in my workouts.
Thanks to her encouragement, accountability, and focus on longevity, I was able to put on an impressive 20 pounds of muscle in that 8 months! Her tailored workout plans pushed me to grow not just physically but my endurance and mental fortitude, and I can honestly say that I have never felt stronger or more empowered in any chapter of my life. She has instilled a sense of discipline that has transformed not just my fitness routine, but my entire lifestyle. For that, I am deeply grateful.
Moreover, her expertise in nutrition and understanding a woman’s body (especially after kids) has been invaluable. With her help, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how to fuel my body properly, enabling me to achieve my fitness goals more effectively. I now approach food and exercise with a balanced mindset, which has positively impacted my overall well-being.
If you’re looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in YOUR success, look no further. I am beyond thankful for the progress I've made and the confidence I’ve gained, and I couldn't have done it all without her exceptional guidance and support. Thank you, Amanda, for helping me transform my life, my heart, spirit, and mind!

Amanda is the absolute best! In 6 months I went from a size 10 to a size 4! I am so thankful for the ways she has helped me grow. Not only in the gym, but her heart and soul for Jesus ministers to me in a way that is amazing! My goal was to become stronger, and I have done that on every level! The journey is not over yet!

I have loved doing personal training and FIT classes with Elev8. The FIT classes are not only incredibly challenging, the workout is different every class so you are never bored. I’ve come to love “hanging out” with the Elev8 fit-family and it makes working out down right fun. I found that the personal training is great for that extra push and extra attention. When I first started Amanda weighed, measured me, and calculated my body fat percentage. While training with Elev8 I’ve lost a total of 30 pounds, 16% body fat, and 8″ off my waist! I’ve done this by working out at Elev8 5x a week and I also add in my own cardio. I play racquetball once or twice a week and run at least once a week. I also do a dancing class once a week for fun cardio. I also practice yoga twice a week. I find that the more I work out the better I want to eat. I personally don’t eat completely clean but I do avoid foods with added sugar, I avoid fried foods, and any processed food is out of the question but all the while I don’t consider myself on a diet, I am just eating better for life! I journal my foods and stay under 1600 calories and this is what has helped me lose a total of 42lbs since October. I know the trainers at Elev8 can get you sorted out with a meal plan as well if that’s something you want help in, they’ve done that for my daughter!
I value the staff at Elev8 more than I can express. They have been vital to my success and I know I can count on them to see me through to my next goals!

Prior to having kids I was in pretty good shape and participated in races and sports. After having two children I gained some weight. I no longer exercised and ate poorly. I kept telling myself that I needed to do something. I tried all sorts of diets trying to do it the easy way when I knew that diet and exercise were the only way. I went to one of Amanda’s boot camp classes and was completely worn out and didn’t return because I wasn’t ready yet! Then 6 months later I was ready and started training with Amanda.
I have a wrist injury and Amanda is able to work around it. She knows exactly what I am able to do and pushes me to get it done. She doesn’t let me give up and that’s just what I needed. I have been training with her for over 4 months and rarely do the same exercises. She gave me the tools that I needed to eat better. I feel so much better now. I have lost 20 lbs., almost 10% body fat and went from a size 16, which were really tight to a size 10. I look forward to going to the gym now and I can’t wait to see more results. Thanks Amanda!
Tammy M
In 3 months of training with Kyle, Bryan lost 15lbs and 4.5% bodyfat! Before coming to elev8, Bryan lost about 30 pounds from training consistently on his own. He wanted more direction in his plan and was ready to start focusing on building more strength while still trying to shed the last few pounds. Bryan consistently worked hard, ate well, and did everything his trainer asked to help him reach his goals. He was done with making excuses and his hard work paid off!

Its hard to find a gym that takes the extra effort to make it work!!!! Amanda and her staff have put 110% in getting me back up and running again. I left my last gym because the trainer was having scheduling problems but Amanda put Taylor on my team and i couldnt be more happier!!! Best gym at the beach by far.
The greatest gym in town! The trainers are so encouraging, supportive, and knowledgeable and the classes are always filled with friendly faces, it really feels like a family! Not to mention the AWESOME workout programs that get your tail right in to shape. The place is also spotless, very clean facility. Do yourself a favor and check it out, you won't regret it! Your body and mind will thank you!
Simply the best gym facility in the area! All the trainers are great. I do the 6am class which is great. Always mixing it up, never boring, very challenging. Amanda, the owner is awesome. Very responsive to members and genuinely cares about the facility and level of training.
I've gone to a lot of Crossfit, 24/7, Group Training programs before... never got results, never felt like I was getting the attention I needed to succeed. Elev8 is a completely different story. Not only are they constantly pushing me to achieve new heights as I strive for personal fitness, but they do it was a smile and genuine care for my health. My wife and I have the privilege of working out here, and LOVE training with Nate and Amanda. I have, and will continue to recommend this gym to all of my friends and family!
Amazing gym! All of the trainers are extremely nice, helpful, and motivating! The workout classes they offer are fun and can be modified for any fitness level. Amanda makes you feel right at home from day 1. So glad my friend told me about Elev8!
