Amy Brantner

Figure and Physique Coach - Figure and Physique Competitor

I have been competing in physique competitions since Spring of 2013. I have placed 1st place 3 times, 2nd 2 times, 3rd, 3 times, 4th 3 times and 5th 1 time. In 2017 I won the Overall for Physique in a Natural Show. Competing has become a passion of mine and every year I just try to improve my physique.

 

I believe in keeping health in this sport, you can train for competition in a healthy manner without the use of enhanced drugs and without ruining your metabolism. I would love to help you learn how to do this sport the healthy way while reaching your goals and looking your best on stage. If you would like to discuss the possibility of competing in a show please contact me at my email address below.

Katie Hornberger

Bikini and Figure Coach - Bikini and Figure Competitor

I competed in my very first bodybuilding show in the Fall of 2024, and that experience completely changed the way I look at training, nutrition, and mindset. Stepping on stage was both the hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done, and it sparked a passion in me to help other women achieve the same kind of confidence and strength.

As a Figure and Bikini coach, I understand what it takes to prepare for the stage—physically and mentally. I create customized training and nutrition strategies, but I also focus on mindset and balance, because I know this lifestyle is about more than just the show. It’s about building resilience, finding confidence in your own skin, and knowing you’re capable of more than you ever thought possible.

Whether you’re preparing for your first show or refining your edge as a competitor, I’m here to guide you, support you, and challenge you. My goal is to help you not only look your best on stage but also feel strong, empowered, and proud of the work you’ve put in.

Mica Johnson

Bikini and Figure Coach - Bikini and Figure Competitor

I began competing in 2014 when my trainer, Amy Brantner, expressed her belief in me and the changes that I was already making in my body. Watching your body change through out the process is amazing. Building to leaning-out... seeing the improvements and molding your body into what you want is all part of this sport and we are here to help you do it the healthy way.

 

Being part of the APF team, I am also a natural coach and competitor. I believe that taking part in a sport that manipulates something so important as your own body, should be done in the healthiest way possible. You only have one body and we should take care of it and treat it as carefully as it was created.

 

If you are interested in discussing your goals to be onstage, contact me for a complimentary consultation.
