Amanda Wood

Get to know Amanda Wood

I’m originally from Orlando, FL and moved to Gainesville to attend college. I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Family, Youth and Community Sciences and a minor in Education. Go Gators!

I met my husband here in Gainesville, got married in 2016 and we moved back to his hometown of Jamestown, TN in 2019 to open a gym and athletic training facility. We are both very passionate about health & fitness and youth athletics. We recently sold our business and relocated back to Florida and now reside in High Springs.

We have two rescue dogs, Rider and Kilo, who keep us busy, and we love to take them out on the trails. In my free time you can find me in the gym, out on the trails training for some type of running event, visiting family in Orlando or trying out a local restaurant with my husband. We enjoy all things outdoors and love to travel to places where we can hike, bike, and run.

Prior to gym ownership and coaching, I worked for Progressive Insurance as an Auto Claims Adjuster and later as a Managed Repair Rep.

I am very excited to join the McGriff-Williams team. I look forward to serving our clients with all their personal insurance needs!
