Studio Crew
Amanda Garza
I started boxing at 16 because I wanted to feel strong and confident. I loved it so much that I eventually competed at the amateur level and finally turned pro before switching my love of throwing punches in the ring to coaching others in the art of boxing.
Alongside fitness, my big family of six has my heart. My wife and I are raising our four kiddos together, so when I’m not training clients or teaching at Duo, I’m most likely hanging with the family.
