Who are You? 

I’m Amanda Butler, a Personal Trainer, Barry’s Instructor, and the Community Manager for Year of Ours! My focus is working with women to empower them to feel confident, find balance physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and create a routine that works for their life that isn’t restrictive or obsessive. At YOS, I run the Ambassador Program - finding bada$$ female trainers around the country who are changing the name of fitness and leading by example. I help organize fitness events nationwide and couldn't love what I do more...I get to work with the best team, meeting amazing people, and am inspired daily from the Ambassadors on our team!

Favorite Workout?

My favorite workout is definitely strength training or anything rhythm-based. If there’s a good beat and fire playlist, count me in.

What are Your Top 3 Morning Routine Non-Negotiables?

1. No cell phone for the first 30 min of waking.
2. Meditate for 10 minutes.
3. Slow/quiet time - the slower the start to my day, the less anxiety and stress I experience. I choose to respond vs. react. I usually give myself 1.5 hours before I have to be anywhere.

YOS Set You Can't Live Without?

The Veronica Ribbed Leggings FOR SURE - the most flattering legging of all time. Paired with any of the ribbed bras - personal fave is the Ribbed 54 Bra.

Who is Your Style Icon?

I love the stylist Maeve Reilly - the way she dresses her clients and herself is goals.
