About Us
Amanda Nelson Parks - Owner/Operator, CFP, CHC
Hi! I'm Amanda and I started Fit Flock after becoming an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. I have a passion for health and fitness. I continued my education in 2018, to also become an ACE Certified Behavior Change Specialist, an ACE Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and a Road Runners Club of America Certified Coach! In 2020, I expanded my knowledge to also include ACE Certified Health Coach!
I specialize in Personal Training that focuses on building total body strength. I teach Group Fitness classes (see MindBody for schedule and details) that will always focus on building strength and stability. I like to teach workouts that minimize the risk of injury and work to maximize your quality of life. I am also now offering Health Coaching, both in person and virtually!
When I'm not at Fit Flock, you may find me joining in on local events. I love getting up really early and exercising before the sun is up. I also love puns, being a foster mom, animals, and coffee:)
Ashley McDonald - ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor
Hey I'm Ashley! I am an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor. I started my own fitness journey shortly after having my first son in 2015 and quickly fell in love with all things health and fitness. It gave me a little bit of myself back. I have been a stay-at-home mom since then, now of two boys. I became certified after having the feeling of needing to do something for myself. I have always loved to help people, so why not help people reach their goals by giving them that good feeling I also get after a great workout!
When I’m not teaching, I'm squeezing in any extra second l have to run. Spending time with my crazy boys is my top thing to do. They love the outdoors so, that’s where we stay. I’m a farmer's wife, so the quality time we have together is short. When we have the time, we enjoy spending our time hunting and soaking in the family time!
WHAT THE FLOCK?
When you work with us one-on-one, we'll be able to customize a plan that fits your specific needs. We believe everyone has different strengths and different ways of learning. We'll focus on using your strengths as motivation to achieve your overall goals, in a way you'd prefer and learn best.
If you'd prefer a team approach, Fit Flock offers small classes. The flockers (clients) that come to class are friendly and fun and it's an inviting supportive atmosphere.
