My Values.

I’m a straight shooter! I’m going to tell you like it is. Honesty builds trust. Yes, then I’ll give you hug, some props and praise, and then we’ll dive in together! I love learning, whether by reading, listening or doing! I truly believe we can always improve our craft through more knowledge and experiences. I have the knowledge and experience to help you get the job done. I walk the talk and am ready to tell you what you need to hear and help you make it happen! In my spare time, I enjoy running and triathlons and have completed 20 marathons, including 3 Boston marathons, one full Ironman and several other shorter events. I’m always up for a challenge and enjoy staying active in a variety of ways.

Experience

I have had the opportunity to work in commercial and corporate fitness settings, as well as have had the pleasure to coordinate and manage wellness programs for companies, including Johnson & Johnson and Seton Health. I have served as a Group Fitness Manager for Equinox Fitness Clubs, held the position of Fitness Director for Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA and served as group fitness program developer for Life Time.
As a credentialed secondary level educator in New York State and California, I have also had the privilege to teach high school Health, Nutrition and Physical Education for a combined total of seven years.

During this time, I was able to teach a variety of fitness classes for youths, in addition to coaching a marathon-training program for middle and high school level students. Helping kids get fit is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had!

A few kind words from decades of experience.

Aimee was not only an inspiration in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom through the various extracurricular programs she ran. I cannot explain how grateful I am for Aimee and her constant coaching and support because she pushed me every step of the way for those trainings, through the pain, sweat and tears.

Wendy RodriguezFriend and Former Student

Aimee has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence through her enthusiasm for education and has excelled in this role by developing the education to support the group fitness programs she has created. The education for each program adheres to and maintains the highest level of standards in education that I have seen during my tenure as a fitness educator.

Pete McCallGlobal Master Trainer for Nautilus & StairMaster and Host, All About Fitness Podcast

Aimee is positive, witty, encouraging and extremely knowledgeable which shows in her abilities to take our members through a safe, effective and challenging workout. Aimee excels in all she does and packs her classes with eager members that are requesting her to teach more and more classes. She is always willing to answer questions from our members and does so in a positive and professional manner. Aimee is a tremendous asset to our team and a positive light that shines in my studio every time she walks through the door.

Toni MiglioreOwner of The Tone Club, Mashpee, MA

Her honesty, sense of humor and motivation are qualities that I admire. Through her instruction I have increased my flexibility and strength, and I am proud to say that at 71 years old I can stand up tall from a low bench without needing to use my hands for assistance.

Cathy Spencer-BrowningVP Programming & Training, MOSSA

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Aimee, and working with her for almost 10 years and she’s definetley been a healthy and positive influenece over the years. Working with Aimee is a breeze. She’s 100% professional and gets me my materials just as needed. I hold her as the bar on a client level and wish they could all be like her! She’s a straight shooter, knows her stuff and I’d highly refer Aimee to anyone in the fitness world looking to expand or freshen up their programming… to anyone needing a personal trainer… to anyone needing a speaker for an engagement and so on. She’s one of the good ones!
