Amy Beyer, CNS

As a nutrition & fitness coach, I am committed to helping people develop a positive relationship with food and achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle through fitness & nutrition.

My background in sports and fitness, both as a college athlete and group fitness devotee, made me passionate about the power that fitness has to transform lives.  I have always felt at my best, mentally & physically, when I am actively engaged in regular and consistent exercise!  KBC melds all of my favorite components of fitness (being outside, great people, fun music & dynamic workouts)!  As an instructor, I thrive on the energy and camaraderie that is created when people feel strong, capable and successful!

While I have been regularly involved in exercise most of my life, I used to consume a lot of foods that weren’t the best for my body. They were heavily processed, quick fixes, and full of ingredients I could barely pronounce. After my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2013, I began learning how his body handled foods and started making small changes at home. I cut back on processed food and refined sugars in favor of more whole foods that I knew were nourishing and energizing. Over the course of the next 2 years, I continued to replace packaged foods and frequent eating out with choices that were more natural and nutrient-dense.  Since then, I’m continually learning about nutrition and what our bodies need daily to feel balanced and energized.

My goal is to share what I have learned and strip away the confusion of the weight loss industry.  I don’t promote any diets, sell any products or overly restrict calories.  I want to give my clients ways to enjoy simple and delicious foods that fuel their body and empower them to enjoy eating without guilt.

I hold a professional certification in Fitness Nutrition and Group Exercise from the International Sports Science Association.  In addition, I have a B.A. from the University of Virginia and a M.Ed. from George Mason University. I look forward to continuing to coach and educate using an integrative approach that balances wellness, fitness & nutrition.

(MindBody/Appointments)

Cost:  $75 (75 minutes)

Accountability Express Check in - Once you reach a certain level of knowledge and experience, the missing link is no longer a new exercise program, the perfect nutrition plan, or a new food to try. The one thing you may be missing is being accountable for your workouts and nutrition. Accountability keeps you consistent because you have to report back what you’re doing—or not doing—to someone else. Accountability check-ins will allow you the chance to ask questions, receive support, assess fitness & nutrition plans as well as provide a framework for consistency and success.

Cost: $30 (30 minutes)
