Amber Black 704-530-7266 - amber@bodydimensions.net 
Amber has been a personal trainer for over 5 years. Fitness is her passion. She attended CVCC community college where she received an associate business degree. While attending college she gained a lot of weight. In 2002 she moved to the Florida Keys. In Florida everyone is in great shape and fitness was part of everyone's lives. She decided to join a gym and lose the extra pounds. This is where she fell in love with fitness. She would challenge herself every week with a new goal. After a lot of hard work and dedication she reached her old high school weight and went for 10 more pounds. It was such a wonderful feeling that she decided to get her training licenses so she could help others feel the same gratification. She got her first certification through NESTA and worked at Island Gym in Marathon, Florida for a year and then decided to move back to North Carolina. Once in North Carolina, she got another certification through Parrillo Performance. She owned her own gym for a year but has most recently worked at a local athletic club for 4 years. She made great progress and success with a lot of her clients in reaching their goals, everything from running marathons to just getting back to an old high school weight. Amber joined Body Dimensions in April, 2008. On a personal level she has competed in a bodybuilding competition for women and finished 3rd. She also participated in 2 half marathons one on Kiawah Island and one for Team in Training to benefit the Leukemia Society in Walt Disney World and several 5K runs. Fitness is a big part of her life. Amber says fitness is always a challenge that gives her a great feeling of achievement. She loves to help others reach their goals and to have that same awesome feeling that it has given her. Gloria Trull 828-320-2501 - gloria@bodydimensions.net
