Amanda Fox’s story is one of resilience, culture, and passion. As an Ojibwe woman from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory, Amanda grew up immersed in the vibrant traditions of pow wow dancing—a practice she has embraced since she could walk. For Amanda, pow wow is more than dance; it’s a celebration of identity, a way to connect with ancestors, and a path to healing.

After years of honing her skills and sharing her culture through dance, beadwork, and storytelling, Amanda saw an opportunity to create something new. Combining her knowledge of pow wow traditions with modern fitness, she founded Pow Wow FitNish, a groundbreaking program that weaves together movement, stories, and songs to promote wholistic wellness. Through Pow Wow FitNish, Amanda shares the richness of her culture while empowering participants to connect with their own health and spirit.

Amanda’s work is deeply personal. She believes in the power of movement to heal, educate, and unite. Whether leading a fitness class, performing a Jingle Dress dance, or engaging with communities across Canada, Amanda carries her teachings with humility and pride. Her mission is to honour Indigenous traditions, foster inclusivity, and inspire others to embrace wellness and balance in their lives.

Through Pow Wow FitNish, Amanda is not just creating a fitness program—she is building a bridge between cultures, empowering individuals, and ensuring that the traditions she holds dear remain vibrant and relevant for generations to come.
