Hi my name is Amy Wright. I am a proud business owner of Btown Nutrition in Bonham, The Station Fitness & Nutrition Gym in Trenton, and Just Wright Nutrition in Leonard. One would say we love Fannin County! One of my favorite parts of what I do is being involved in the community—getting to talk with and truly know our customers, who so often turn into friends. Fitness and nutrition are my passion, and I’m grateful that I get to serve others in that capacity every single day through my shops.
A little more about me: I’m married, a mom of four, and we have our first grandbaby on the way! I absolutely love the life we’ve built just outside of Bailey, whether it’s feeding cows, growing a garden, or listening to the sound of four-wheelers and dirt bikes ripping through the pasture. Community involvement is close to my heart, and I love helping wherever I’m needed.
Many would say I’m super busy, but I choose to see it as super blessed—and I’m grateful for every single part of it.
I’m interested in joining the Chamber of Commerce board because I’m passionate about supporting local businesses and helping our community continue to grow and thrive. I value collaboration and believe my experience, connections, and commitment to our area would allow me to contribute in a meaningful way.
