Amanda has been coaching for over 15 years and is passionate about helping people move better, get stronger, and feel amazing. Her goal for The Cove is simple: she wants everyone to understand and embrace the importance of strength training—not just for how it makes you look, but for how it helps you live. Strength training builds confidence, supports longevity, and helps you move well in every part of life.

She believes workouts should be both effective and fun. At The Cove, that means training hard, laughing often, and celebrating wins both big and small.

When she's not in the gym, you'll probably find Amanda with a great cup of coffee, traveling to a new city, reading a good book, or enjoying the outdoors.

Jess has spent over a decade helping people build strength, confidence, and resilience through movement. With a degree in Kinesiology and experience coaching functional fitness and yoga, she believes movement has the power to improve not only how we perform, but how we live.

Her coaching style combines thoughtful instruction, encouragement, and just the right amount of challenge to help you leave feeling stronger than when you walked in.

Whether you're chasing a new PR, learning a new skill, or simply looking to move and feel better, Jess is passionate about creating an environment where every athlete feels supported, capable, and excited to keep showing up.

Outside the gym, you'll usually find Jess exploring the outdoors with her dogs, Kilo and Bixby, teaching yoga, reading tarot, or learning salsa one step, and more often than not, one misstep at a time.

Whether you're taking your very first class or you're a seasoned athlete, Summer's goal is to create a welcoming, supportive environment where you'll feel challenged, encouraged, and empowered.

Wendy's fitness journey began with ballet in childhood and continued with yoga after high school. After completing her BA in broadcast journalism at Brigham Young University, she became a mother to two children, staying active through Beach Body home workouts while young kids made gym visits difficult.

Once her children grew older, she discovered CrossFit and trained under CrossFit Games athlete Chyna Cho for three years before earning her Level 1 certification. While Wendy loved coaching CrossFit, the pandemic led her to focus on personal training, where she has found deep satisfaction.

Her diverse fitness background allows her to cater to clients' different needs, as she believes fitness isn't one size fits all. Wendy is a firm believer that everyone can exercise, regardless of physical limitations, and emphasizes that consistency, modification, and adaptation are the keys to success. Her greatest satisfaction comes from helping clients reach goals that leave them feeling happy, confident, and strong.

If you ask Tracey what matters most, she will tell you it's the people she loves. She's the proud mom of two daughters, grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren, has a crazy blue heeler, and has shared life with her partner for the past four years. After a rewarding 40 year career as a registered nurse, caring for others remains part of who she is.

She has a soft spot for dogs, loves to travel and enjoys creating memorable moments with those she loves. Whether she's planning an adventure, walking the coastal trail or gardening, Tracey brings curiosity and joy to whatever she's doing.

Yoga has become an important part of her life, both as a practice and as a way of connecting to others. She enjoys weaving movement, mindfulness and yoga philosophy into her classes, encouraging people to slow down, breathe deeply and find strength with grace. She currently teaches at Coastside Yoga Collective, Highway One Fitness and volunteers at Abundant Grace. Above all, Tracey believes that life's greatest gifts are the relationships we nurture, the experiences we share and the kindness we offer along the way.

With over 25 years of personal practice, Mary began studying yoga back in Boston under Baron Baptiste. Her style evolved and deepened over the years to include meditative breath, a love of dance, and dynamic vinyasa to create a moving meditation that builds both physical strength and fluid flow.

She has proudly called the Coastside home for 23 years. When she's not teaching or working, you'll find her climbing trees or finding frogs with her 10-year-old son.
