Amy Culp, Personal Trainer in Georgetown, TX

About Amy Culp

Like most people, I’ve always known on an intellectual level that exercise is key to good health. But it wasn’t until I was diagnosed with breast cancer that I knew – in a spiritual, universal-truth, deep-in-your-gut kind of way – that exercise can save a life.

The role of exercise in my ability to endure the disease and the treatment, and then ultimately survive it, cannot be overstated. Exercise to me was like a lifeline. When my body was weak, exercise made me believe I was strong. I believe that by continuing to teach aerobics and training for triathlons during chemotherapy, I helped my body to withstand the vigorous demands of cancer treatment.

I have been blessed to have my health back again & spend my time raising my two wonderful children with my husband. I love to play tennis, mountain bike, and watch my kids play soccer. Since 2000, I have completed 6 triathlons, and I have ridden in Lance Armstrong’s Ride for the Roses twice.

I graduated from Texas A&M in College Station TX in 1986, majoring in Biology and Psychology. During college, I worked in Physical Therapy, focusing in knee and back rehabilitation; and also stroke rehabilitation.

I have been teaching aerobics since 1995, certified with the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and my kickboxing certification through World Aerobic of Kickboxing Association International (WAKAI).

I have been certified as a Personal Trainer with AFAA since 1999, and Advanced Weight Room Certification since 2002, and as a Cancer Exercise Specialist since 2004. I absolutely love working one on one with people and helping them to reach their fitness goals. As a owner of LifeForce Personal Fitness, I’m blessed with the opportunity to help clients who’ve battled cancer, as well as those who haven’t, find an inner strength they never knew they had!

Training Philosophy

We you succeed, we succeed! I train any body that wants to incorporate a safe workout program into their daily lives.

Training Professionally Since

December 23, 1999

Typical Training Session

I believe in warming the body in with brief cardio, then some stretching. Then we focus on the client’s goals while incorporating safe weight training, toning, and cardio exercises. I always work on core and balance exercises as well.

Client success story

I was 41 years old, in the middle of chemo treatments, and had never worked out in a gym before. It was such a positive influence for me during this period in my life. I hope my friendship with Amy will last a life time as will the workout habits I learned!! J Bistine

After I turned 40, I started feeling tired and extremely out of shape. I started training with Amy Culp and the difference in the way I feel is remarkable. I feel more self confident and actually enjoy heading to the gym. I don’t like over crowded gyms with impersonal atmospheres or waiting in line to use a machine…..who actually has time wait in line? Lines are not a problem at LifeForce Personal Fitness, the trainers arrange compatible schedules as to maximize everyone’s time during their workout. J Lee
