AVWELLNESS 
Tenacity

Amanda Villarreal, Owner of AVWELLNESS, is known as a health and wellness ambassador, personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and more. What most don’t realize is Amanda struggles daily with a very rare circulatory/vascular condition called KTS (Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome) which causes swelling, masses of varicose veins and poor circulation. Despite many surgeries, being told she may lose her leg, that she shouldn’t have children and should stop all physical activity, Amanda turned her pain into a passion for health and wellness, receiving a degree in Corporate Fitness & Wellness. Along with her professional accomplishments and certifications, Amanda and her husband have also raised five children. She’s held free community park workouts, nutrition and education seminars, fitness and wellness classes and more. Her newest adventure is developing a fitness and nutrition app.

Amanda says, “We can all do hard things. It’s important to be positive and accept the challenges that life brings to you.”
