Amy Bloemendal

ACSM Certified Health Fitness Specialist

Hi, I’m Amy Bloemendal and I’m certified through the American College of Sports Medicine as a Health Fitness Specialist.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and I am originally from Minnesota as well. I’m in my final year here at MSU striving to get my Masters of Science in Exercise Physiology. I love to be active, have done a couple sprint triathlons and some shorter distance run races. I love to be outdoors as well, especially the winter sports.

I’m excited to help you with your fitness goals. Exercise should not be a chore, but some thing you enjoy. My education and experience in the field will help to optimize your experience here.

Stop by the Rec. Sports office and visit about how I can help you achieve your goals!

ACSM Certified Health Fitness Specialist

I graduated from Montana State University with a B.S. in Health and Human Development/ pre-physical therapy. I am currently certified as an ACSM Health Fitness Specialist and have an extensive background in athletics. I played soccer competitively since childhood in Billings, MT where I grew up. In college I became interested in martial arts and was the president of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club for several years. Aside from athletics I absolutely love the outdoors and enjoy spending time climbing, biking, hiking, hunting and fishing.

I specialize in functional training and strength training and am pursuing a career in physical therapy. My goal is to get you fit in the most enjoyable process possible. I am available to help you meet your fitness goals.

ACSM-Certified Personal Trainer

Specialization: I specialize in athletic performance and flexibility training

Fitness Philosophy: I believe that physical fitness should be fun and specific to every individual. Physical fitness is not only crucial for a healthy body, but also a healthy mind. We spend many days at the fitness center because we feel we have to, but we need to remember that we are here to have fun! I want to help my clients set goals that are suitable for themselves and design an appropriate plan for those goals. Really listening and focusing on the client enables me to find a program that is going to work best for them. I promise to help motivate you to achieve your best!

Fitness Background: I enjoy doing most physical activities outside, biking, hiking, climbing, yoga, skiing and running are a few of my favorites. I am currently active in many of these sports and challenged myself to run the 2010 Billings Marathon. I have always enjoyed doing physical activities and vow to continue doing so throughout my lifetime!
