Welcome to No Sugar Coating with Kelly

My name is Kelly Amos, and I am exercise specialist, functional nutrition counselor and behavior change coach.  My husband and I were married in 1991, have two amazing kids, Gunnar and Miranda, and the cutest dog on earth, Bella.  I have been in the health and fitness industry since 1990 and specialize in teaching people to assume responsibility and take control of their lifestyle.  My straightforward, “no sugar coating”, approach invites open communication, realistic goal setting and a “meet you where you are” relationship.  

Due to family circumstances as a child I became angry, insecure, and had extremely low self-esteem.  Although I was able to hide my thoughts, and some of my actions, from people I was on a road of destruction and dismay.   In college I developed an eating disorder and had a sense of rage inside me that I couldn’t control at times. Only because of financial necessity, I started teaching group fitness classes.  Although there were plenty of evenings I resented having to go teach my classes, that was the life changer for me; not only was exercise a positive release of negative energy, but since I had to commit to an entire semester I started to see positive changes in my body.  That in turn lead to healthier food choices; I liked that my body was changing and I knew pizza and beer would not support the results I was getting.

My loyalty comes from abandonment.  My passion for health and fitness comes from the psychological healing that they did for me.  My commitment to meeting people where they are comes from knowing we all have our own stories and we need to appreciate our unique realities.  My no nonsense, no excuses, "no sugar coating" personality comes from knowing that a healthy body and a healthy mind is the key to happiness and we should get you there as soon as we can.
