She also obtained certifications for BOSU, Barre Above, MOSSA Group Power, POUND, Generation POUND and Fitness Kickboxing Canada.

She is now a CSEP certified fitness trainer and NASM certified corrective exercise specialist. Amy always incorporates mobility and stability training into all her programs. Amy believes that the most important component of all fitness programs is injury prevention as movement assessments are essential starting points for all fitness levels.
