Amanda A
Growing up, Amanda wasn't athletic or competitive. She tried a lot of things, including field hockey and lacrosse, and while she enjoyed them, nothing really stuck. During college, she started taking spin and hot yoga classes as a way to stay active. After moving back to Richmond following graduation, she craved the routine of group exercise classes which led to her first barre class at City Barre. With the challenge, the results, and the community, it all came together from there -- she has been a regular ever since.
“my favorite part about barre is the emphasis on your mind-body connection and the strength you can build from small movements using your own bodyweight”
Amanda has been a natural on the mic since she started training and she hopes that her classes can inspire others to find the exercise routine that is both challenging and enjoyable.
When she's not at barre, you can find her in The Fan with her dog Huck, enjoying Richmond’s best restaurants and the creative flair that the city has to offer.
