COACH DEsI

Hi! I am Des! After over 2 years as a member of AMP Fitness, I am so excited to join the team as an NASM certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. I've always had an interest in fitness and nutrition but AMP truly made it a lifestyle for me. The community and support is unmatched and I can't wait to help others find the same joy in the same place! I have personally struggled with disordered eating and body dysmorphia. As well as being both overweight and underweight. I know exactly how overwhelming it can feel. My goal is to help people transform their lives in a simple, realistic, and sustainable way. Anyone can do it and I can't wait to work with you!!

COACH and AMP MANAGER Lauren

I’m Lauren! I’m a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. Fitness and nutrition are a huge passion of mine and have been part of my lifestyle for many years! Fitness is fun and I love helping people find joy in it, while also challenging them to be the best version of themselves. Nutrition is often difficult for people and my goal is to make it easier to understand and help people discover what works for them while being consistent. I want you to feel your best inside and out and nutrition/fitness go hand in hand in accomplishing that. Can’t wait to work with you!

Run and Strength Coach Cyreen

Hi, I’m Cyreen! I am an ISSA Certified Run Coach and also work full-time as an investigations manager at a bank. I also have a B.S. in Biology from ASU and a masters degree in Criminal Justice. I am excited for the opportunity to work with AMP Fitness. I began my running and fitness journey in late 2014 and I started from the very bottom; I couldn’t run 1 mile or lift an empty barbell. Once I got started though, I fell in love with all things fitness (well except rowing or burpees). I have run 13 full marathons, including all 6 World Marathon Majors, one triathlon, and countless 5ks/10ks/half marathons, as well as also achieving a BQ and paced several half marathons (1:45-2:30). I want to help others achieve their running goals, whether it is completing their first 5k, setting a PR in the half, or running a BQ. I look forward to helping you find your possible!

Strength COACH David

I’m David Ridout, a certified personal trainer with AMP. Exercise and fitness have always been a part of my life. I come from a spot filled competitive and active family. I played football and soccer since I was five years old and now find myself mountain biking and hiking every week. I believe that working out brings out who we are, it challenges us to accomplish hard things. Growing in our fitness goals isn’t just about physical health, fitness benefits us in all areas of life. My heart is to parter with you to achieve our fitness goals together, no matter how big or small they may seem!

Shred Coach Brian

My name is Brian Kennedy, nicknamed, BK! I am very excited for the opportunity to coach at AMP Fitness. While I have been an active member of AMP since April 2021, intentional fitness has been a part of my lifestyle for several years. I like all things fitness…including the dreaded burpees. From my perspective, working out is a great compliment to your overall wellness plan, which foundationally includes what you put in your body. I am as intentional about how I fuel my body as I am about how I challenge my body through working out. So know this in advance, if you are being coached by me, you are going to put in the work. That’s right, I said it. 🙂 I say that because my sincere desire is to help you achieve your fitness goals…and more importantly, your overall wellness goals. In addition to exercising, I enjoy studying the bible, volunteering at church, learning new things, watching sitcoms, hiking, and morning coffee, especially when I get to enjoy it with my beautiful wife, Brianne. Did I mention, she coaches at AMP Fitness as well? She is a beast!! She keeps me on my toes for sure! She and our two amazing daughters are my motivation. AMP Fitness is a community of incredible people. I am blessed to be a part it! Are you ready to put in the work?! Yes? Then, LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!
