Amanda Kotel | EXERCISE SCIENCE & NUTRITION

I have been involved in athletics since a very young age, competing as a gymnast from age 9 and as a dancer from age 11.  I followed my dancing and gymnastics dreams competing on many stages across Ontario and earning numerous awards in Tap, Jazz, ballet, lyrical and gymnastics.  I continued to pursue my dreams and love for fitness and competition throughout high school. Once I graduated, my love for athletics and curiosity of the body followed me to university.  I graduated from Concordia University with a B.Sc of Exercise Science, specializing in Athletic Therapy.  During my last years of university, I started personal training and coaching; but it was not until I moved to Toronto where I discovered a new stage to perform on.

 

October 22nd, 2010 was my debut to the fitness-modeling world.  From there I have climbed the fitness and bikini model world, having graced many stages over the past year, from UFE shows, IDFA, SAF, Fitness Star, OPA and CBBF.

 

The past two years havebeen a true test of both inner and outer strength.  Not only in gaining knowledge and expertise to compete but also how to over come road blocks.  As I learned very quickly, consistency in ones diet is paramount, as everyday presents itself with many speed bumps.  I soon realised that the true test of mental and physical strength is pushing through and staying focused on your goals and dreams…even when that chocolate bar is screaming your name! Thanks to great coaching, colleagues and family, I persevered and even surprised myself in my achievements.

 

To be a true role model you must emulate a high standard of health, fitness and nutrition. Everyday I am a motivator, life coach and practitioner of my beliefs.  I feel that in order to motivate others I must practice what I preach.  As a fitness role model and spokes model, I want to be a voice giving me a platform to encourage, motivate, educate and inspire fans, customers, clients and athletes alike.

 

Sincerely,

 

Amanda Kotel
