Trainer Amy Thomas
I’ve always loved athletics and fitness. I took that love to the University of Delaware where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training with a minor in Biology. After graduating in 1998, I took a job as an Athletic Trainer with Cecil County Highs Schools in Maryland while also working at Physiotherapy Associates.
In 2000, I became the Head Athletic Trainer at Goldey Beacom College (NCAA Division II private college) in Wilmington, DE. I worked with athletes from every sports team and handled all injury evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries while also providing strength and conditioning programs. Twelve years later, I had 3 small children and a grueling schedule. It was time to focus on my family, so I left Goldey Beacom. However, I continued to be a certified Les Mills instructor and taught Body Attack, Body Pump and Body Combat at the Western Family YMCA. Group Exercise is a passion and while I no longer teach Body Attack or Body Pump regularly, I continue to teach Body Combat every week. I’ve also become a Small Group Trainer and Personal Trainer at the Knockout Gym in Newark, DE.
Fast forward to my newest endeavor, Outdoor Athlete. It’s a labor of love and dedication! I’m so excited to bring an outdoor workout option to the area and I hope to share my love of fitness with you soon.
