Why did you become a coach?

I was never the biggest, fastest, or strongest growing up. I was introduced to strength training as a high school football player but our program lacked focus, so I don’t know if I got everything out of it that I could have. When I went to college, I got into a strength and conditioning program that had more structure and my performance and confidence soared. I wanted to pass that along and help future athletes and give them what I feel that I missed growing up. After a few years working with athletes, I noticed our adult community lacked a similar dedicated program that gave them focus and specific programs. Andrew has developed a passion for helping others achieve their goals whether a youth athlete or a busy adult.

“You need to be in shape before you join a gym” – I think this misconception holds a lot of people back. Unfortunately, so many never get started because of it.

If there was one myth about health and fitness that you can make disappear tomorrow, what would it be and why?

A myth I would like to see disappear is that you have to do hard or elaborate exercises to see results. Most people who are looking for results will find it being consistent with the basics.

Why did you become a coach?

I like supporting people in creating steps down to the very last detail that lead to habits that work for them.

If there was one myth about health and fitness that you can make disappear tomorrow, what would it be and why?

I’d erase the myth that eating healthy is about drastic changes and unpleasant food. That’s intimidating and unsustainable. Real health is about finding ways to enjoy nutritious foods, not eliminating everything you love.
