Amina- personal trainer, wife, and boy mama...

This month, we’re excited to feature Amina Williams — a personal trainer, wife, and boy mama who blends movement, motherhood, and minimalism in a way that feels strong, steady, and refreshingly real.

Originally from Denmark, Amina brings a uniquely calm, balanced energy that reflects her Danish roots — a lifestyle known for simplicity, mindfulness, and healthy living. Now rooted in Santa Barbara, she brings that same minimalist, intentional approach into her fitness coaching and everyday life.

With over 10 years of experience training everyone from athletes to celebrities, Amina focuses on helping women feel good in their bodies, ditching the pressure, and build strength that lasts. She holds certifications in boxing, spin, nutrition, functional science, and pre/postnatal training — but what really sets her apart is the space she creates.

At her private gym, AM | FITNESS in Santa Barbara, she offers one-on-one sessions, small group classes, and wellness workshops that go far beyond the workout. Her Sculpt and Strength class is a great place to start if you’re looking for a new workout. Her classes are fun, high-energy, and small enough to feel personal — with guided direction from Amina every step of the way. Amina’s husband, a former professional basketball player in Europe, is also a trainer — offering everything from personal training to sport-specific workouts. And if you’re not local? She also works with clients virtually, making her signature mix of movement and mindset accessible no matter where you live. Beyond the gym, Amina is raising two boys, baking sourdough bread, running a business, and holding space for so many others — all while keeping things light, grounded, and real. She’s built a community where women show up for themselves and each other. It’s not about perfection. It’s about consistency, connection, and taking care of yourself in a way that fits your real life.

We’re so honored to feature Amina this month @theamfitness_
