Even as a kid first learning about the intricacies of sports, Rick Lademann knew then that if he wanted his body to perform at its highest level, he needed to treat it like a machine.

Bodies need the right fuel. The right amount of movement. And enough personal care to foster it into something spectacular.

Little did Rick know that this information would be enough to propel him into a lifelong career focused on the importance of strength, speed and the conditioning of athletes.

Sports, exercise and nutrition was what helped Rick lose weight as a child. He grew up admiring everything about the sports environment – from preparing for the games and to being part of a team.

Learning how to create a powerful body became Rick’s passion and that passion was fueled by legendary Hall of Fame Strength Coach Al Vermeil – the only strength coach to have World Championship rings from both the NBA and the NFL. While in his 20s, Rick began working for Vermeil and he learned quickly that there was a science and an art behind how the body becomes bigger, faster and stronger.

Rick worked with Vermeil and the World Champion Chicago Bulls and, after that, he headed to Colorado Springs where he worked at the United States Olympic Training Center under the care of former Romanian Olympic weightlifter Dragomir Cioroslan for USA Weightlifting. Rick lived on the campus for two years and then expanded his career even further when he went to the U.S. Air Force Academy, also in Colorado, to assist the strength coaches with its powerful football team. During this time, he also juggled work with the USA Figure Skating team at the Colorado Springs World Arena.

Rick also spent time in Denver working with internationally recognized orthopedic surgeons at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic as the strength and conditioning consultant. It was at the clinic where Rick handled post physical therapy on athletes and this introduced him to many members of the Colorado Rockies. This opportunity led to yet another great honor for Rick as he became the primary performance coach for famed baseball player Larry Walker, the only Rockies player to ever win the National League MVP award. Even famed sportswriter Ken Rosenthal noticed a change in Walker’s performance after Rick began his work, stating that the program Rick created made such a difference in Walker’s performance that it was evident from the start of spring training.

Rick’s resume lured many colleges and universities his way, each hoping to recruit him because of his impressive background in human performance. Rick ended up accepting a coaching position for strength and conditioning at the University of California Berkley where he was instrumental in helping the Cal rugby team win a national championship in 2003. In addition to rugby, Rick also served as the strength coach for the men’s and women’s tennis, baseball and basketball teams.

With more than 18 years of performance enhancement experience, Rick felt motivated to create his own facility with his wife, Amy, where they could both work with and encourage others to challenge themselves and sculpt their bodies the best ways possible.

At BEYOND MOTION®, Rick has worked with an array of clients, from aspiring athletic teenagers to prominent athletes who travel to Naples specifically to train at this facility. He is known as the “Coaches Coach” and works with each of BEYOND MOTION®’s personal trainers and coaches to help them elevate their education and knowledge to the next level.

Rick’s goal is the same as it has been through his entire career – to provide athletes with the clarity and the right tools they need to achieve their goals.

When Amy began her journey into health and fitness as a teenager, she never could have predicted just how profoundly it would shape—and ultimately help save—her life.

At just 16, Amy’s father was diagnosed with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, a rare genetic condition that can lead to tumors and cancers throughout the body. Watching him battle—and ultimately lose his life at just 45 years old—was life-altering. That devastating loss sparked a deep determination in Amy: to understand health at its core and take ownership of her own well-being.

While other teens were hanging out at the mall or cruising through high school, Amy was reading ingredient labels, researching the connection between lifestyle and cancer, and teaching her first fitness classes. She didn’t just want to feel better—she wanted to live better. And she wanted to help others do the same.

Over the next few decades, Amy built a life around that mission. In her 20s, she became a certified Yoga, Nia, Dance Fitness, and Pilates educator (PMA®-CPT), diving deep into movement analysis, the chakra system, and functional anatomy. As the co-founder of BEYOND MOTION®, she became known for her no-gimmicks, whole-body approach to fitness and wellness.

Her work expanded to support women in some of the most transformational phases of their lives. Amy creates custom, balanced programs for women navigating menopause, focusing on supporting the body’s internal “ecosystem” with tailored nutrition, supplementation, mindfulness practices, and fitness. She also offers this highly personalized approach to pre- and postnatal women, honoring the unique needs of every individual and rejecting the idea that one size fits all.

In her 40s, Amy began competing in bodybuilding, becoming a competitive natural figure pro and winning first place in contests across South Florida. She is a certified nutrition coach, the creator of Barre Motion®—a method rooted in strength, grace, and personal power—and the co-author of Pilates and Conditioning for Athletes. She’s also the author of a growing library of eBooks focused on fitness, nutrition, menopause, and lifestyle strategy.

Then, in 2024, life came full circle.

At age 52, Amy was diagnosed with VHL—and cancer.

The diagnosis came as a shock. VHL is typically discovered in a person’s teens or early twenties. For it to appear so late in life was nearly unheard of. But her doctors had an explanation: her lifestyle.

Her clean nutrition. Her dedication to movement. Her commitment to strength and recovery. Her stress-reducing habits. Everything she had lived and taught had helped delay the progression of the disease—and prepared her body to recover more quickly and fully after surgery.

Today, Amy is a cancer survivor. And she’s more passionate than ever about helping others understand that wellness isn’t about trends or perfection. It’s about living with intention. It’s about caring for your body now so it can carry you later. It’s about showing up—for yourself, your future, and the people who matter most.

Amy isn’t just a fitness professional. She is living proof that how you live truly matters.
