In The Paint Student Spotlight #6 – Student Teaching

I could write an entire book about this month’s student spotlight.  Naturally so, since I’ve known Amber for her entire life.  Sister Love is unmatched.  Rather than get all emotional on you, let’s introduce this unique student spotlight!  Amber has been an outstanding student #InThePaint.  She has shown so much interest and potential that based off her background she actually TOLD me to put a training together for her a few months ago.  I finally listened to my little big sister and this month she officially joined the #InThePaint Instructor team.  Amber is no stranger to group fitness training.  She taught RPM (cycling class) for years at the gym we both worked for before she got immersed into law school.  I use to attend her classes and be wowed by her energy and beautiful smile.  It was a bonus that she wore a full face of makeup, lol.  She was always just in from work and managed to literally sweat and sparkle.  Well #InThePaint, she is a constant motivator and always has my back on information and content sharing.  She loves the #OneCommunity and has done multiple partner workouts (shadowing) with me. She is worthy of this spotlight and honor as a student turned instructor.   Not only did she take my certification for #InThePaint but she went on to complete a second training so that she can teach Barre #InThePaint.  The memebers love her new spice that she added #InThePaint, her energy teaching Standard and I love having my sister as a partner in helping people #StayInTheGame.  Read on to see what you might have in common with her…

Amber T. Jones has been a member of #InThePaint since March, 2020!  (Side bar: It’s our one year anniversary this month, woot!)

What is your favorite thing about working out #InThePaint? Has it been different from other workout experiences you may have encountered previously?

The creator, Joi, is my favorite thing about the workout. Her energy and encouragement make the classes top notch. She has the fitness magic that most instructors dream about. I have taken almost all the popular group fitness classes, but they pale in comparison to #InThePaint. Plus, she my best role model. So, I might be bias (nah…… she’s just a beast). I also love the community that this virtual platform has created. It’s encouraging seeing a community of people that are similarly situated like you take care of their bodies daily.

What was the experience or motivating factor that inspired you to join #InThePaint? Was there someone who influenced you to join?

I love the gym, but Covid-19 is so scary. I knew how good of an instructor Joi was, so when she launched an online platform, I knew that was going to be my saving grace for my daily workouts. Joi has always had an influence on my fitness journey. She always encourages me to take it to the next level and to stay consistent. Plus, we always have fun going to each other’s classes and saying how good the other is at it, even when we don’t really like the style of workout the other is teaching. So far, #InThePaint is really awesome. (but you could keep kick lol)

FUN FACTS

Profession – Attorney/Contracts Negotiator

Favorite Move – “My favorite move is definitely the “Skaters, No Haters”!

Current Healthy Living Goals – “My goal is always myself at some other time in life. Right now, I am happy with my physical appearance, but I would like my abs back. I will focus on eating cleaner and making sure I don’t skip any workouts. Abs by 36? I will shoot for it.”

“I am not married, but I do have an awesome boyfriend that joins us In The Paint. His name is Reginal Lee King. *insert heart eyes here* I do not have biological children, but I am the proud Godmother of JT and Hendrix Talley.”

Guilty Pleasures – “Crablegs & New Restaurants”

Favorite Movie – “Grease or Baby Boy. It depends on what kind of love story I am feeling like.”

Spare time – “I have so many amazing friends. Like, so many. I also make it my business to routinely talk to all of them. I have everyday friends, once a week friends, once a month friends, and bi-monthly friends. I must make it known that I love them all the same, but life is busy. I wish I had time to spend with each of them every day. I competed in a body building competition one time, it was the hardest thing I every did in my life. People ask me all the time would I compete again. The answer: NEVER. I am also all about the community. I serve in various capacities in the following organizations: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Macon Alumnae Chapter, Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys, Macon-Bibb Democratic Party.”

Lottery Winner??? – “I would take my family to Dubi, all expenses paid, and take them to the under water restaurant there. (Daddy, Mother, and Joi)”

What makes you laugh the most? – “Hearing other people laugh will put me on the floor laughing. Laughing is so infectious. I guess happy people create other happy people.”

When asked is there anything else you wanted us to know…

“I set on four boards in the community. I also serve through church and sorority. I love to work on local campaigns during election season.”

Ha, I could have done this spotlight without interviewing her but I am so honored that she treats #InThePaint JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS.  She has done that from day one and it means the world to me.  Shout out to her amazing boyfriend too.  We love them #InThePaint.  Hey Amber, I’m ready for that vacation, lottery or not, lol.  As a person who tries to keep up with Amber via phone everyday, I’m in awe of how much she accomplished and feeds into people and the community each and every day.  She is truly a blessing to know!    As you can tell, she loves the city of Macon.  You probably have this kind of love for your own hometown!  As always this is the beauty of #OneCommunity!  I bet you could relate to something about Amber!  You should be enticed to jump #InThePaint and try her class.  You will LOVE IT! Thanks so much for agreeing to be highlighted.  Continue to #StayInTheGame!  To learn more or join Amber on the journey In The Paint, CLICK HERE!
