A self-made fitness entrepreneur, Russell is a popular online personality who creates high intensity, short, results-driven workouts that allow viewers to achieve what she calls the ‘Runner’s Body’ without having to run.

Amanda Russell began her career as a full scholarship track star bound for the Olympics.

She started AmandaRussell.TV to share her expertise and spread this message.

Creator of one of the fastest growing fitness and lifestyle channels online, Russell is currently the morning wellness expert on the Live AOL Morning Show RISE and was named as one of Google’s "Next Top Fitness Trainer" on YouTube.
