Personal Training
Amelia founded AJP Fitness in 2016 with a simple mission: to make exercise accessible, enjoyable and something people genuinely look forward to. She created a space that feels welcoming, supportive and far removed from the intimidating gym environment, a place designed for real people who want to feel stronger, healthier and more confident.
​
For over a decade Amelia has coached clients from her private studio, helping them transform both body and mindset through effective training, better nutrition and sustainable daily habits that fit into everyday life.
​
An adventure seeker at heart, Amelia is always chasing new challenges and thrives on positive energy, good vibes and a winning mindset. She’s obsessed with running, with much of her own training focused on getting faster and stronger, but she believes all movement should feel empowering and enjoyable.
​
She is passionate about the role exercise plays in mental health. For Amelia, training isn’t just about physical results, it’s about resilience. Pushing through a tough workout or run reminds you what you’re capable of, and that strength carries into every part of life.
​
Through AJP Fitness, Amelia helps clients build confidence, develop a stronger mindset and create a balanced, sustainable approach to health and fitness that becomes a lasting part of their lives.
