Fit Flow by Amanda Jo

Medical trip ✔️
Good news ✔️
Now it’s time to get back to doing what I love…moving with an incredible community.

Join me Saturday, July 25 at 10:00 AM for Pilates & Pints at 3rd Planet Brewery!

If you’ve been wanting to come, this is your sign! These events always sell out, so don’t wait to grab your spot.

✨ All mats and Pilates props are provided.
✨ Every guest will receive a personalized gift.
✨ Everyone who attends will be entered into a raffle for a fun gift basket.
✨ Stay after class for a cold pint (included with your ticket), food trucks, and all the great energy that 3rd Planet is known for.

💜 This event is especially meaningful to me. As part of the National Pancreas Foundation’s Color It Purple Week (July 19–25), a portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the National Pancreas Foundation in honor of my beautiful Lila Jo and every child and adult living with pancreatic disease.

I’d love for everyone to wear purple as we come together to raise awareness for one gnarly little organ that does a whole lot of work. I’ll also be sharing a few other ways you can support the foundation throughout the week.

Let’s move with purpose, build community, and Color It Purple together. 💜

Friday meant NAD+ day.

I’m wrapping up week 3 of my NAD+ journey, and so far I’m impressed. I take my injection before my Friday workout, and the biggest difference I’ve noticed is my recovery. I’m bouncing back faster, my energy has been consistently better, and even my skin has improved.

Everyone’s experience is different, but so far I definitely can’t complain. I’m excited to see how I continue to feel over the next few weeks, so stay tuned for more updates.

If you’ve been considering injectable wellness therapies or hormone optimization, I highly recommend checking out Optimize U. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to educate you, and helps you find the right approach based on your individual goals.

Sometimes I hesitate to share reels like this because they can feel heavy. 😥

They show surgeries, scans, procedures, ambulance rides, and all the things no parent ever imagines their child will go through.

But if you know Lila, you know that’s not her story. Her story is her smile. The way she somehow finds joy in places that most adults struggle to. 💯

This little girl has the strength of a thousand people. Through every hospital stay, surgery, setback, and unknown, she continues to choose joy. By the age of six, she’s taught me more than I could ever teach her. Take notes! 📝

As we head back to Cincinnati to see her pediatric pancreas care team tomorrow, we’re carrying hope and following the lead of the little girl who keeps smiling through it all.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I love purple. It’s in my logo and branding, but it also represents something deeply personal. Purple is the color of pancreatic disease. 💜

From July 19–25, I’ll be participating in Color It Purple and launching a fundraiser for the National Pancreas Foundation after we return from Cincinnati.

Most people know me as a Pilates instructor and personal trainer. But my most important job will always be being a mom to Viv & Lila Jo. That role has made me an advocate for medically complex children, autism, and families navigating a life they never expected if I can.

Fitness will always be part of this page. but so will this. This is our life. It’s messy, beautiful, exhausting, hopeful, and worth sharing if it helps even one family feel a little less alone and bring awareness.
Thank you for loving our wild ride right alongside us. 💜

I didn’t expect to cry during Cat Cow today… but I did. 🫣

Today was my final class at Bluewater Fitness. I officially turned off the lights, closed the door, and handed back my key.🔑

What I didn’t expect when I started teaching here was how many of you would become so much more than clients and class members. So many of you became friends, family, and such an important part of my own healing.❤️‍🩹

After stepping back from my career to care for my sweet, wild girl and navigating one of the hardest seasons of my life, Bluewater gave me the opportunity to rebuild in a career I have had 20 years in. I’ll always be grateful for that. 💯

One thing I always tell people is that simply showing up is sometimes the hardest part. Every woman who walked into that room was carrying something. Divorce. Health struggles. Caring for aging parents. Raising children. Medical journeys. Grief. Stress. We all wear so many hats, and yet every week you still chose to show up. 💪

I hope that for one hour I gave you a place where you could breathe, get stronger, laugh a little, and remember what your body is capable of. Thank you for putting up with my inability to count, my right-and-left confusion, and all the extra reps because I got distracted fixing someone’s form. You all gave me so much grace.

Please remember to give yourselves that same grace. You are doing more than you realize, and you are stronger than you give yourselves credit for. 💜

To every Wednesday morning class, each class I was grateful to sub, and every private client, thank you. I hope you all know what a huge part you played in my healing and life. You’ll probably never fully understand how much this chapter meant to me.

I’m sad to close this door, but I’m excited for what’s next. Growth is rarely easy, but it’s always worth it!

Setting up for a full house with my usual Wednesday crew for my final class in this space. 🥹

I’m going to miss this space so much, but I’m going to miss the people in it even more. Every Wednesday morning this room was filled with women (and men too) in all different seasons of life, showing up for themselves and for each other. The strength, encouragement, and energy in this room has always been about so much more than fitness. 💪

They also somehow survived my inability to count, my constant right-versus-left confusion, and the fact that one side almost always got more reps than the other. 😂

I have one more class tomorrow that I’m subbing, and I know it’ll be hard to walk away from this room. But I’m so thankful for every Wednesday we shared, every laugh, every conversation, every wth she is crazy, every rep & every pulse, and every one of these incredible women. I’m excited for this next chapter, but this group will always hold a special place in my heart. 💜

“Never ask me if I’m a girl’s girl.”

My career is built around pouring into women.

I celebrate their wins.
I remind them they’re stronger than they think.
I help them build confidence, not just physically, but mentally too.
I want every woman who walks through my door to leave believing in herself a little more than when she walked in.

There’s enough room for all of us to succeed. Supporting other women has never taken anything away from me. If anything, it’s made my life richer.

So no… don’t ask me if I’m a girl’s girl.

Watch how I show up. 💜

One of the biggest changes I have made in my training is incorporating Pilates into every workout.

Whether I am lifting weights, using TRX, or strength training, Pilates has completely changed the way I move. I focus on control, slower negatives, pulses, isometric holds, breathing, and time under tension instead of simply adding more weight.

I am not knocking heavy lifting. It absolutely has its place. My body just responds better to training with intention instead of chasing heavier numbers.

I have found that I feel stronger, move better, recover faster, and stay pain free. After years of injuries, surgery, and thousands of workouts, I am training for longevity.

The goal is not just to get through today’s workout. The goal is to keep moving well for years to come. 1000
