About us
WOW What a rollercoaster couple of years !!
I'm trying to take everything in and enjoy it, But my I'm so proud ! Not just for winning these awards but for how far Proud as a Peacock has come, While setting this business in up in lockdown I never thought in a million years id be able to achieve what I have I knew I wanted to make it work and id do what I could to make it work that's just how I am but wow to win an award I'm blown away and none of this would be possible without you amazing lot !!!
I get so much out of helping people, helping them feel good about themselves ,helping them to step out of there comfort zones and to believe in themselves that is enough for me but all of this has been very overwhelming but amazing. I have watched some amazing friendships form and I have made some amazing friends too.
I pride myself on being a normal, Caring but down to earth person. I'm curvy and have struggled with my weight at times like many but I'm me and id like to hope that when member's come along and try a class they meet me and think ok maybe I can do this ! Yes you can !!
I love what I do and no matter what you are up against at times you can get through it, This year has been very challenging for me personally but I have pushed through and so can you.
Don't ever give up on wanting more or feeling happy for you, Take each day as it comes.
Thanks for your support I'm looking forward to sharing more memories with you x

I do the xtreme hip hop classes, I was very nervous at first but Amanda is such an amazing instructor and makes you feel at ease, but also helps build your confidence at the same time. The class itself is really enjoyable, with great routines and fab songs! It’s always a laugh and just like one big family !

I absolutely love Amanda’s classes! I attend Sculpt, MixxedFit and BoostFit every single week. For me it’s the music and Amanda’s personality that make the workouts so much fun.
My body is now stronger, leaner and more toned.

Absolutely love this class, two classes in and I am really enjoying it. The instructor Amanda is friendly and made me feel at ease on my first session. Think I’m addicted to this class now ♥️

Recently joined proud as a peacock and I’ve been made to feel really welcome. Great bunch of people and Amanda is a great instructor. Has exercises for all different levels and not one person in these groups judges, just supports.
Thank you so much to everyone for making me feel so welcome.

Wasn’t sure if step was for me. Gave it a go with Amanda’s encouragement and have really enjoyed the classes she does.
Amanda includes and encourages everyone, she’s great. I will definitely recommend these classes to everyone.

I’ve been seeing Amanda since September for personal training and also classes and I cannot recommend her enough. She has supported me in so many different ways along the way and I look forward to every session. I’ve never been able to see the results I’m getting now before and it’s all thanks to Amanda. She makes you feel so comfortable and pushes you to always be the best thank you for helping me be a lot happier in my body. I could never of done any of this without you

Amanda is amazing, I personal train with her and each session is different and she gets the best out of me. She has certainly made a difference to my fitness and her classes are good too, she gets the best out of everybody with a smile on her face 😊

My name is Julie and I am in my 50’s. I have dipped in and out of exercise all on my life, fitting it in around children and working, but I never really enjoyed it.
This all changed 2 years ago when I was introduced to Amanda, founder of proud as a peacock. She runs a variety of classes, all to inspirational music. I have never felt fitter or healthier.
I look forward to her classes and can’t believe I actually go 5 times a week. Aside from the classes themselves, Amanda is always there for each and everyone of us. She’s not just an instructor she is a friend and mentor. We are so lucky to have her our lives.

I don't think I would of made it through Lock Down without these classes, Amanda makes fitness fun again and I have tried so many groups/classes over the years and always lose interest but since joining I have not looked back. I can finally look in the mirror without crying and it is such a laugh at the same time which really helps.
So thank you Proud as a Peacock for saving my life and getting ME back x

Amanda is a brilliant instructor.
She gave me the motivation to get moving and get fitter. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Her classes are so much fun, the music is fab and I always look forward to them. I would highly recommend these classes

I've been attending Amanda's classes and having PT sessions for the last four months, she is amazing at what she does.
I can not believe I have stuck with it for so long, but as Amanda is so motivating, encouraging, and she adapts and varies the exercises for each session, the classes are very enjoyable and suited to all ages and fitness levels.
i would highly recommend Amanda.

Hi Amanda its Gill Parkins. Just did the vote for you for London Regional. Last night when I came to mixxedfit I was in an absolutely foul mood after a crappy day at work and the usual worries of work-life unbalance, kids and money! When I came away, it had all melted away thanks to you. I joined because I wanted something for me (if I lost weight even better) and to have fun and that is what you give us all. Your excitement and inspiration as you gee us all along is so apparent and it reflects in the people around you. I can see why you have such long-term committed members at the classes. YOU make it fun, YOU make it exciting and you know what, you don't even know your actually working out! A massive congratulations for getting your business off the ground to the level it is now. That my friend takes complete heart rendering dedication and commitment. I hope you get back what you give to us, because you deserve it xxx

Amanda's classes are amazing . So much more than just exercise classes.
Amanda has created a whole little family, where everyone supports each other. Her classes have made such a difference to my whole life, not just physically.
Amanda is an amazing person who inspires us to all do our best and have fun in every class. I do every single one of Amanda's classes and always leave feeling happier aswell as fitter.

I met Amanda about 2 years ago when I was disillusioned with exercise. She became my gym buddy to encourage me to get back into working out, nothing was too much trouble and it was a success.
I personal train with her twice a week and attend her classes.
I can't thank her enough for her dedication and she truly is inspirational. I am a much fitter and happier person and that is what I call the AMANDA effect. Xx
- Jo
Amanda is always full of encouragement, energy and enthusiasm.
The classes are great fun and we always have fun, whilst at the same time getting fit. I would recommend this class to anyone, give it a go, what have you got to loose?
