My name is Amy Bream, and I’m an adaptive CrossFit athlete and mentality coach with a passion for challenging myself with new boundaries and limits. I was born with a condition called PFFD, meaning I’m missing the majority of my right leg. I’ve lived in Nashville since 2014, but ya’ girl is originally from a small town in PA, where I grew up the youngest of four kids.
I moved to Nashville with the intention of pursuing a music career, and somewhere along the way began sharing my story about growing up with a birth defect. I didn’t even start to workout in public settings until joining a kickboxing gym in 2015. I began competing in CrossFit on a professional level in 2021, and have experienced firsthand the power of intentionality and consistency in being able to change one’s life. When I’m not on the competition floor, I serve as a public motivational speaker and personal accountability/mentality coach.
We like to put off intentional growth because we assume it requires a dramatic life overhaul - the all or nothing approach. More often than not, it’s in the quiet, subtle changes - one at a time - that produce the most incredible results.
When it comes to accountability coaching, we focus on this approach. You and I look at all aspects of life - foundational health, business, mentality, time management - and assess where growth is needed and set goals to help you get there. Each plan is completely unique to you, and includes calls, education, assessment and continual support to help walk out your goals.

Walking into the gym can be intimidating, especially if you’re a new face or don’t have a plan to follow.
Good news is, you don’t have to allow intimidation to convince that you don’t belong. Because you do.
You have the capacity to learn and gain strength, by just taking one small step at a time.
I designed my workout program, Small Steps, Big Gains, with exactly that thought in mind. Get in and out of the gym within an hour, gain confidence by building strength and aerobic capacity, and improve by focusing on the details.

Knowing how to adapt as an amputee getting into the gym can be very overwhelming, and it’s hard to know where to start.
In this program, we focus on the foundation. It’s important to start with the very basics.
One Leg Up gives you a guideline of just how to adapt certain exercises, gain balance, learn to trust the prosthesis, and walk without back pain. Once we have that down, we can keep progressing to the “cool stuff.”
Whether you’re starting from ground zero, or you’ve been an amputee for several years, this program will help improve how you move both inside and outside of the gym.

Working with Amy has far exceeded my expectations. From day one, she took the time to get to know me and my goals and tailored her approach to help me reach them.
Having started with zero Crossfit experience I had no real understanding of Olympic lifts or gymnastics skills. In just one year under Amy’s guidance, I am now able to effectively incorporate movements such as HSPUs, TTB, cleans and handstand walks into my workouts.
Amy’s coaching stretches far wider than just improving my physical health. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to appreciating the importance of mindset and has helped me understand how my approach to life and being intentional with my everyday behaviors can help me achieve my goals in a healthy manner.
Amy’s experience and attention to detail has played a crucial role in my progress both inside and outside of the gym and I cannot recommend her enough!

When I attended Amy Bream’s motivation weekend at 1st Phorm, I expected to learn a lot, but was almost overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of the information. She shared specific action steps and methods of implementation that were easy to apply to daily life. She made a clear distinction between a “wish list” and goals (my wording here).
Though she frequently spoke about things such as sleep, nutrition and working out, all were in reference to enhancing one’s ability to accomplish goals. Her specifics about self-talk, mindset and environment were so very helpful. As I applied her suggestions, I saw results in my business momentum right away, with only 2 months left in the year!
I would highly encourage anyone who wants or needs to make life changes to follow Amy or better yet, find a way to work with her. She lives what she teaches and has a great deal of life experience to draw from, given the challenges she has overcome. I know I will continue to grow as I continue learning from her!

I started doing Amy’s program after I had my 3rd baby. I was out of shape, uncomfortable in my body and having trouble moving like I wanted to be able to keep up with my very active kids. I started seeing progress in the gym after a few weeks that translated to more confidence outside of the gym. I’m starting to feel athletic again for the first time in years. I also have had to adjust and modify lots as my body and mobility has changed post kids. Amy helped me make adjustments to keep getting stronger while addressing weaknesses. Instead of having to “take time off” I’ve been able to improve my overall mobility and fitness long term. Her plan is flexible enough that I can fit it into the course of a busy schedule while feeling like I get a GOOD workout in. I want to sweat and breathe hard and push myself during a workout, and I feel like I do that every workout. Using her workouts in true coach makes tracking progress super convenient and helps me stay motivated to keep going. I have a specific progressive plan for each workout which makes it easy for me to be efficient in the gym and move on to the next part of my day. I highly recommend!

Amy is amazing at what she does! I attended a conference at 1st Phorm that Amy hosted. It was an incredible experience. One that words in a review will never be able to describe the greatness of.
Within minutes of walking through the door, Amy was hugging me and greeting me by my name. I was star struck! 🤩

Amy gifted each participant a book that literally changed my life. After leaving the conference, I had the confidence to start a new job and begin a new chapter in my personal life!

Amy is a true person who doesn’t allow vulnerability defeat her and simply being around Amy lit my fire to do great things! Highly recommend!
