Amy Mac Bio
I am from a small town in Indiana. I grew up enjoying the outdoors, theater and sports. I attended Purdue University and while there found the sport of rowing, my passion for dance and musical theater and my husband. I am very lucky to have experienced a college sport and at the same time have my directing debut. I graduated with a BS in Organizational Leadership and Supervision and found a job in banking. Realizing that I was not cut out for the 9-5 lifestyle, I began pursuing theater and dance a bit more seriously. This led to my first experience as a paid choreographer — I loved it!
I then left banking to dance in Chicago under a scholarship for the next 18 months. I was able to experience dance in many forms from so many wise and educated teachers and masters. I also found that I loved to dance but more importantly, I loved to choreograph. I also found a use for my business degree because my husband had started a screen printing company in our apartment while I was at dance school. He became busy and I became the operator. Due to additional job opportunities for my husband, we relocated to Nashville, TN and I continued to dance and run the printing company but also turned my interest in athletics into a personal training career. I received certifications from SDSU and Scirion Institute and really started applying my knowledge.
Nine months after the birth of Podcast Alley, my husband earned another opportunity in San Francisco. We spent a few years in California and I was surrounded with some of the best personal trainers, gyms, health clubs and educators in the business. I also added NASM and AFAA to my list of certifications. I trained full time and helped people understand health and fitness everyday. I began my audio shows in 2005 and shortly after began the video, Fit Life. The response was so great to my shows that I published a book in February 2008, Fitness Attack with Amy Mac, which ended up on the Amazon Best-selling list in the family health section.
We have now returned to Nashville and I spend most of my time writing and recording, but I still get to train on occasion. I have been doing 1-1 bootcamps that have been great for me and my clients, (shoot me an email to inquire). I am also working on wider distribution of my shows, a tighter production schedule, a 2nd book and working to select partners and sponsors that share my passion for fitness and a healthy lifestyle. I feel fortunate to be able to bring in all my experiences in athletics and life to my program designs. They have all contributed in my success.
