Angie Botts | Manager & Personal Trainer

Workouts, Athletes, Fitness

Angie Botts grew up playing sports in the suburbs of Chicago and has had an appreciation for the development of a healthy lifestyle for as long as she can remember.

As this passion continued to grow, she left the Windy City to study dietetics, exercise and wellness at Arizona State University. Throughout her education, she has received many certifications including NASM CPT, Biomechanics Level 1 Coach, Schwinn Spin, Health Coach, TRX, Eat to Perform Nutrition, and CPR.

For Angie, personal training started as hobby - a way of helping others learn balance and to love themselves, to eliminate the crushing expectations people place on themselves. Angie saw training as a way to teach clients the fundamentals needed to create a new, healthy way of life for themselves and their families, and she loved it. She saw the fruits of that labor changing lives from excelling at athletics to playing with their children. When she realized that she could have a career doing what she truly loved, she began to pursue those ends with increased vigor. "My dream was to create a safe environment for people to gain strength both physically and mentally," Angie said. A place where people could have the tools to achieve their goals and learn how to teach others and set a good example for their families. A place where people were encouraged, made friends and family, and felt part of a community who wanted them to succeed. In early 2016, she opened Up Lift Training, and her dream became a reality.

Angie is married to Brent and they are expecting their first child, their baby bear, in March.
