Amanda Gardner graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Communication. After a short time in the business world, she realized that her true passion was in the area of teaching. She returned to school and obtained a Masters Degree in Elementary Education while teaching fifth grade at a Phoenix elementary school.
In her spare time, Amanda discovered a love for fitness and was introduced to Power Pilates, a classical method of pilates training. As she noticed the changes in her body, she became fascinated with this form of exercise. After spending several years improving her own skills and learning more about this method, she decided to transfer her love of teaching over to the fitness world.
Amanda received her certification through a Power Pilates program in Scottsdale, AZ. She was trained to work with clients of all ages and also with those suffering from pain due to injury or from muscular imbalances that exist within their bodies. After witnessing firsthand the way in which pilates transforms, strengthens, and improves the lives of so many, she accepted a job offer at a Power Pilates affiliate training center in Scottsdale and began her career as an instructor.
Eventually, Amanda started her own pilates business, Core Conditioning, LLC and now operates as an independent contractor at The Pilates Institute of Scottsdale. She loves going to work everyday to share her knowledge and passion with others!
