My name is Andrew.  I’ve been in the fitness industry for almost twenty years, or another way of putting it, since before I had grey hair.  If you are reading this, that must mean you are interested in getting started or continuing a fitness journey, either that or you are bored and somehow found this over everything else on the internet, either way thanks for checking me out.  Let me tell you a little about myself. 

I have a beautiful wife and two young kids.  I’m a dance dad, a coach, and of course a chauffeur, I also spend some time in spandex, but you will have to come train to hear more about that.  I love coffee, concerts, cookies, and camping. Generally, I wear sweatpants and crocs everywhere other than church. 

Still reading after the crocs? All right this relationship might work out.

Lifting weights can change your life, and I like lifting weights, so in a roundabout way, I might change your life.  Kind of, unfortunately you are the one who is going to have to pick up the weights, my sincerest apologies.  

I enjoy most kinds of strength training, weightlifting (the Olympic sport), barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, calisthenics, I even used to do CrossFit, but I don’t want to do burpees anymore, and I don’t think you should have to either, unless you really want to, it’s your life.  

It doesn’t really matter what I like though, what matters is what you will do.  There is no best exercise or exercise program, other than the one you will do and stick with. The goal is to get you in the gym and find something you enjoy or at least don’t hate, so you can keep moving and doing the things you love outside the gym, for as long as God allows. 

So, if you have an interest in lifting weights, getting stronger, telling me about menopause, (my superpower is listening) and maybe eating a little differently over time, yes nutrition is kind of important, I’d love to hear from you.
