Amber Closson has been working at Spiece fitness as a group fitness trainer for almost three years. I love working with people of all ages, and enjoy the relationships I build through the process of teaching group fitness. I am currently certified in Group Groove, Group Step, Group Kick, and I also teach a senior citizen line dancing class. In my free time, I run my own a dance studio called Diva Danceworks in the evenings teaching children ages 2-18. I have been dancing for about 25 years and teaching for 9 years. I have been married for about 1 1/2 years to a wonderful man named Benjamin. We both love to spoil our 4 year old chihuahua Teddy! I am truly excited about the Smallest Winner contest, and can’t wait to see the results and build true friendships.

Ambrosia,
Just wanted to say thanks for the splendid workout today. FYI: after class I took a shower, went home, curled up into fetal position and rocked myself to sleep!
See you in class tomorrow!

YOU ARE THE GIRL!! Look at you speedy!! You run like its nothing!! We truly are blessed to have you part of this program. You have been such a great asset and we thank you for all you do!

Just wanted to let everyone know, what an awesome group I think you are, I would never have believed we could do and I’m not sure that without each other we would have, but look at us today, proud and strong,
WE DID IT!
Thank You, Rhonda
Thanks for walking with us on saturday. And just because some of us uncoordinated people find step difficult it doesn’t mean we don’t like you.
Ok well maybe 2 thursdays ago I didn’t like you for the entire 10 minutes my legs were on fire from the squats. But other than that your awesome.
Hope your knees are feeling better.
Purple Jill
Amber,
Thanks so much for coming out and supporting us on Saturday. You have been a critical part of our success in this program. BTW, I think it’s time for you to have a little one! I was worried Marti wasn’t going to get her baby back!
See you Thursday…
Leslie
Hey chica, I so enjoyed running/walking with you on Saturday. I love who you are as a person. We def need to hang out together sometime soon. I also wanted to thank you so much for every Thursday class you have offered to us for free. Even the one I missed. You have been a complete blessing and without you none of us would have come this far. Thanks so much. Please keep in contact.

Amber,
Did you know what the name Amber stand for?
Amber in German is burned stone, I can say I felt the burn throughout the class. I helped me kill 20% of my self; thankfully it was not 100%.
You are such a jovial and positive personality,
Thank you for everything…
Lao Tzu said about 2600 years ago that:
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
And another thing that he said was:
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
So we have done them both took a first few steps and changed directions to avoid ending up in a not so good place for our health, let’s keep this up… and make it a life time change…
Remember..
Pain comes an goes, yet memories and friendships made in struggling times last for a life time.
First of al than you for all the encouragement and all the great support on my low days.
This has been a blast, almost as painful as boot camp, but only better; got to sleep in my own bed.
You girls and guys rock.
As an older song named: Down Deep Into The Pain says…
You gotta go down deep down into the pain
Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade
Dig down deep into the pain
Surrender, surrender, dig in, dig in
Put yourself down deep into the pain
Embrace the bliss of pure sensation
You can’t escape from the ultimate pain
So let your senses drift into Euphoria
Thank you again to Rick, Tina, and all the trainers and other people who made this possible.
I hope to see you around, I feel like I live at Spiece anymore, but what a place to call a second home.
My very best regards,
Love, lots of it…
Dorin
First off I just want to say that I can totally see why you go the nickname that you did. You go girl! Secondly I’m sorry for walking out on the workout today. I feel horrible. I wanted to finish it. I will finish it, and this.

You totally rock! Thanks for totally pushing us! You totally kicked my butt today and I love that! It means so much that you believe this strongly in our ability to succeed! If it didn’t hurt to move my arms to shoulder level, I’d probably hug you!

Amber,
You totally rocked it this morning! Thanks for such a great workout. You worked me harder than I thought possible. I left feeling strong, powerful and most importantly confident!
Thanks for your commitment to FWSW and pushing me so hard.

Thanks for pushing us this morning. I think you’re a nut!!! But that’s a good thing.
Tom
Killer class this morning! Good to have you Back!
Get those knees up! You are in my head for the day, girl! What an amazingly tough class! And you were right, all of us could really do it!
Thank you for pushing me this morning! Your classes are awesome and make me feel so good about myself after I make it through.

It hurts in the moment, but I felt refreshed after and am feeling good the rest of the day. Thanks for doing what you do.
Jeremy
Amber, this morning I felt like I did better than the previous week with you. I know that behind all of your drive, you are making me a better person. Thanks for your time.
HI Amber
Thanks for the work out this morning. Keep screaming at us…I think it helps motivate us…at least me. Thanks for knowing how to push us to our skinny selves. Meagan
Girl! What to say what to say! How can such a bubbly person be so evil!
Just kidding! Thanks for caring about us so much n pushing me!
Thanks for kickiing our BUTTS today and every Wednesday. I look forward to you pushing us each week. Thank you for taking the time to work with us.
Amber – the energizer bunny has nothing on you!! You are amazing and I am just a little scared of you now. Thought Becky was the mean cop – but she has nothing on you!! Think you love us more than any of the other trainers – don’t tell them that – okay??
I am looking forward to your class next wednesday – you bring it and I will deliver!! Might swear at you underneath my breath but I realize that you are coming from a place of love – an evil place…but a place of love!!
Keep it up You Energizer Bunny on Crack!!
Sorry – forgot to sign my name —- Sarah – PURPLE TEAM ROCKS!!
I would have to agree with Sarah!! You are stronger then any energizer bunny! Thanks for the hard workout yesterday! Even though we don’t show that we appreciate it in the moment, we do appreciate it!
I was excited to attend your class this week. After the first class, I was so sore I thought I’d been in a car wreck. Was happy to see that we all had advanced and, most importantly, I could keep up better and was just a bit sore – in a good way. Thank you!
Amber,
Thanks for the extra push today in step class today! I don’t think I could have made it through without your encouragement after Wednesday’s FWSW workout!
Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this Wednesday:)
Richelle
I totally know how you got your nickname last season!! For such a little thing you sure are pushy!!LOL!! I love it though. It definately pushes me. I don’t want you to come around to me and yell at me! And let me just say, my calves still hurt! I’m glad that you’re one of the trainers, because you’re the best motivator!!! Thanks for pushing!!
Ty for pushing us and also understanding that I am trying really hard…I hope to gain better balance and coordination from your step class as well as the other training sessions….you are just like the energizer bunny : ) see you next wed….
Thanks for the great workout. You do know how to push us!
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow! Hope you are ready for me!
Thanks for the push, sista!!!
You always keep me motivated…
Thanks also for the positive pep talk.
You are so great !!!!
And i don’t have to say that ….
Luv ya
Green Team Jen
Thanks for the push, but I’m done getting hurt in your class. I love being in there and you just inspire me to do my best and I guess that’s going to be painful. You’re such a motivator and I really do love ya and all you’re doing for us!!
Thanks for the workout today. Don’t ever think that I don’t appreciate the way you push me, because I really do. I wanted to do this for that extra push. I know you’re doing this because you care and nothing I did today was directed towards you. I am my worst critic and always have been. So keep pushing and I will keep doing my best. Thanks again!
So glad you are on this fantastic journey with us!
Amber,
Thank you so much for your awesome, high energy workouts. I can’t belive how much more we are doing than the first week. I hate your workouts when I am doing them, but feel so good when it’s over. So thanks again and keep pushing us!!
OMG! I think I pee’ed a little! I can’t believe how far you push us! Evey workoutwith you I leave DRIPPING! Thank you for seeing just how much we are capable of!
Thanks for pushing me, i am better because of it.
Can’t wait to come back and share your energy!

Amber – miss your energy – hope to see you soon!
I didn’t get injured in your class this week! I love taking your class and I hope that I can start taking more through the week, with work it’s hard though. Just so you know, every time I do take a class and we have that cool down song, all I can think about is a man coming up the escalator with a single rose to you standing at the top of it. Thanks!
I LOVE your class on Wednesdays! Your so full of energy and spunk! I love it! Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to help and educate us! I truly appreciate it!
I am just about ready to come back to your class – are you ready?
Amber thank you so much for all that you do. Thank you for getting everything out of me that I can give.
