Amy Lynn Grover was raised in Toronto, Canada and is of Canadian and British ancestry. Amy has always been very conscious about fitness and her body. Although she has always been active and body-conscious, it wasn’t until she moved to Los Angeles, CA that the light went off and her passion was realized. Since she has always had to look her best in front of the camera, it just made sense to make helping other people look good in front of the camera a career. Amy has been on the cover and featured in many magazines, calendars and billboards, as well as hosting three seasons of Get Out on HD Network. She is a Yogini and has been practicing for over sixteen years. Amy believes in healing the body from the inside out and is on a pursuit to share her techniques with the world. There are no fad diets, quick fixes or diet pills for this beauty. Can you say, “All naturale”?

1.What’s your Ethnicity?

Canadian, Caucasian and British.

2.What’s your zodiac sign?

I’m a Leo. A typical raging one…

3.Where are you from originally?

Toronto, Canada.

4.What did you like most about growing up in the Vancouver, B.C.?

There was always something fun to do depending on the season, regardless of the temperature. Summers were the best. I would go camping, cottaging, boating, water skiing and swimming. In the winters, I loved going snowboarding, skating, snowmobiling and watching hockey games! I love when the leaves change to the fall colors and the energy that comes from springtime; the new life brought to the city and everyone getting so excited for summertime!

5.What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?

I was actually an angel when I was a kid. It’s when I got my driver’s license, starting modeling and living in the city when I starting having a lot of “fun”!

6.What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

I jumped out of a plane…I mean, I went skydiving. I completely surrendered to the force of gravity—it was incredible. Probably the most exhilarating, adrenalin-rushing activity I could ever do.

7.What’s your favorite hobby and why?

Yoga. I teach and practice it because it’s my passion. I love everything about it. It helps me manage the constant balancing act of my life; it gives me clarity to do everything else; it’s cleansing and healing. I love the physical workout—feeling strong, long, lean and flexible, and, of course, I love helping others receive all these benefits, too.

8.What’s your guilty pleasure?

Dark chocolate and red wine.

9.Who do you admire?

My parents. They are both amazing for different reasons! My Dad is so smart and strong. He inspired me to be a businesswoman, follow my dreams and have courage to stand up for myself. My mother is so loving, caring and endearing. I get my teacher-like qualities from her.


10.What’s one of your personal goals?

To spread and share my lifestyle philosophy of health, fitness and nutrition to as many people as possible and to encourage them to reach their own personal goals.

11.What do guys compliment you on the most?

My hair, eyes and legs.

12.What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

They all work together to serve me well.

13.What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

My feet. I beat the hell out of them when I was dancing. They aren’t gross, but they hurt and cramp up when I’m on them too long or wearing 6” heels.

14.What do you look for in a guy?

I don’t really look for things… I know exactly what I like and what I don’t like (as I get to know a person), but for sure he’s got to have his life together and know how to treat a lady.

15.What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

How he holds himself, how he speaks/listens and how he looks at me.

16.What’s your ideal first date?

Most of my first dates have been a surprise to me. Like, “oops, I guess this just turned in to a date,” kind of thing. If I’m on a first date that has been planned to be a date, I find that it’s way too awkward. I like when things “just happen naturally,” or fall into place the way there are supposed to.

17.What turns you on?

Confidence. I need a man that knows how to grab me, but also knows how to hold me.

18.What turns you off?

I can’t stand when people are selfish or don’t pay attention, especially to the little things—they matter the most!

19.What’s your biggest pet peeve?

When people move slowly, especially if we are late. Pick up the pace!

20.Who’s your celebrity pass?

Ryan Gosling. Have you seen him lately? He’s working out for a new movie!
