Amber Pedersen
Isla Del Sol Manager & Coach
Amber’s interest in fitness began at an early age with strongest influences being from her father and a weight lifting class in high school. “I learned quickly: too much weight and poor form was not a good thing!” She was a scholarship athlete for the FGCU Women's Golf program, where she studied Criminal Forensics. Despite her initial training efforts, she never increased her driving distance.
Post college, she trained with a TPI Certified strength coach. That first day blew her mind and opened up her eyes to train better! She was hooked. She became an LPGA Class A Teaching Pro, TPI Certified and jumped at the opportunity to apprentice with the strength coach that first inspired her. “If I knew more about the body I could help my golfers get better faster. Holy life shift!” As a trainer she learned skills that helped her swing better, serve people more powerfully in the gym, and also build a more resilient body and mind for herself to take on life’s challenges.
In 2018 she became a coach at Full Torque Fitness and has been able to expand and explore her limits as a trainer and human ever since!

Missy Shipman
Member Experience Director & Coach
With a background as a cardiac and vascular ultrasound technologist, Missy began her career helping patients through detailed imaging and compassionate care. After years in the medical field, she made the choice to step away from the hospital and step fully into motherhood dedicating her days to raising and homeschooling her 4 children. It was during that season of life that she discovered a deep appreciation for health and wellness, not just for herself but for her family as well.
What started as a personal pursuit for a healthier lifestyle evolved into a professional passion. She became a certified personal trainer with a mission to help others find strength, confidence, and vitality in their own lives. She is driven by a heart to serve, a desire to keep learning, and a belief that wellness is a journey one that’s better when walked together. Whether in a gym, in the community or at home, she is committed to making a positive difference wherever she’s called.
