About Amanda Jackson

​

I’ve been an athlete my whole life—driven, disciplined, and all-in. When injuries forced me to pivot, I found a new mission: to understand the body, master movement, and build mental strength from the inside out.

​

Since 2008, I’ve coached clients across all stages of life and performance, combining evidence-based training with mindset work to help people move better, train smarter, and feel powerful in their own bodies.

​

After becoming a mom, I knew I needed to elevate my approach. I pursued advanced certifications through Core Exercise Solutions and earned the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

​

My Expertise:

  • Deep Core & Pelvic Strength for real function and high performance

  • Injury Prevention & Recovery grounded in movement science

  • Mindset Coaching to build true resilience—physically and mentally

  • Pre/Postnatal Athleticism & Pelvic Health

  • Gait Analysis & Running Mechanics for lifelong movement efficiency

​

I live in Tampa Bay with my husband, our four boys, and our wild pup, Zoe. As the creator and coach behind The Core Code Method, I bring a unique blend of clinical knowledge, lived experience, and relentless passion to every session.

​

I’ve rebuilt myself—and I know how to help you do the same.
