Being in love with movement her whole life, Amy Giles purchased a martial arts school in 2001. She has gone on to train hundreds of people of all ages to cultivate confidence through movement at Progressive Kenpo Karate. Amy is an internationally recognized martial artist and the highest-ranking female Black Belt in the United States under Israeli Krav International.
When the pandemic struck, Amy saw the need to expand her services. She founded MindBody Fitness, an online mindset, and fitness program for people at midlife and beyond. Her mission was (and remains) to help others overcome their limiting beliefs, so they recognize their worth, cultivate newfound confidence, and awaken to their TRUE potential.
When Amy's not kicking and punching, she enjoys time with her family, floating in her pool, long walks on a beach (of course), and promoting local fashion boutiques on her Facebook page - My Purple Blazer.
Amy Giles and Melissa Ebken are hosting an event on January 29th called Fit to Forgive. Learn more and register here.
