A New York City native, Olivia Amato grew up loving team sports, participating in lacrosse, hockey, track, and cheerleading. She even cheered for her college team but studied something decidedly different from fitness when she was there. As it states on her website bio, "Olivia wound up majoring in business and finance because she was good with numbers."
Unfortunately, being good with numbers doesn't necessarily mean you'll love the business world, and Amato didn't. She was lucky enough to land a job as a Wall Street trader right out of college, but she wasn't happy there. "I was good at my job, but I didn't like my job," she told E! News. "And I thought to myself, 'I can't live the rest of my life like this.'"
So, rather than continuing to spend her weekends crying and dreading going onto the trading floor on Mondays, Amato chose to write down the things that brought her joy in life, and she realized she was happier taking a client for a workout and a healthy fitness drink than she was frequenting New York bars with them. As she watched the instructors she loved teach, she stopped wondering why she couldn't also do that and instead she decided she would do that.
