Start where you are.

Your why comes first.

Every program starts with your why — the reason you walked in. Two people can have the same why and need completely different journeys to get there, because they’re different people. Figuring out your why, and how to get you to it, is the job.

The Starting Line

We start from where you are. The Starting Line is our movement assessment — seven patterns that show us the areas of concern: what needs correcting first, and what your body is ready for. It’s free, and your program gets built from it, not from a generic program.

Built from a base, modified to you

Every workout starts from a proven system that’s modified to your needs. Never cookie-cutter — each workout is built for the person doing it.

Every session starts with a check-in

A series of questions that helps us understand what modifications may need to be made to the workout, to get the best out of the person in front of us. I’m always assessing, so we catch things before they become injuries or potential problems. If something hurts, we modify the move, or switch up the workout to better accommodate your needs. But the work doesn’t stop.

Your plan follows your progress, not a template

We’re a team in this — each of us responsible for our part. We retest as we go — and the retest tells the truth both ways. Your part: show up for every session, log honestly, and do the work away from me too — eat right, get enough sleep, and do your work on the days we’re not together. My part: if you do your part and your reassessment doesn’t move, that’s on me — I rebuild your plan, and we re-test in four weeks. And if the work didn’t get done, the retest will show that too — and we’ll talk about why, and how we overcome it. Life gets in the way sometimes. We understand that. It doesn’t mean the work doesn’t get done.

You leave with the blueprint

I don’t expect you’ll be with me forever — life gets in the way, and circumstances change. So as we train, I teach you how your body works — what we’re doing, and why — and we build you a blueprint you can easily come back to. You keep the knowledge, and the foundation under it. And when you’re ready — a refresher, a new goal, a stale spot — you know the way back, and we’re just a call away. It’s why my clients come back.

You don’t do it alone

Around the work is a community — people held to the work, and held up by the people around them. A room where the coach knows your name.

What my clients say

“I have been training with Andre for nearly 15 years, and it is one of the best investments I have ever made. Andre's style focuses on individual needs and goals. His adaptive approach helped me train effectively for various running races that included 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons and full marathons. Due to his individual approach and custom tailored workout plans, I was able to set a new marathon PR by shaving off an hour from previous races!”

“When I later decided to try sprint triathlons, Andre coached me in swimming and specific cross-training workouts to support pacing and targeted goals. He pays attention to physical difficulties and personal goals to help you be the best you can be. He does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you want a PR or try something new while staying injury-free, I cannot recommend him highly enough!”

“When I turned 60, circumstances forced me to take a more active role in my health. I had never ‘worked out’ and a friend introduced me to Andre. Day one was amusing as I had no idea what a ‘bicep curl’, ‘row’ or ‘fly’ meant. Let alone how to do a perfect squat.”

“Six years later, I'm amazed at the workouts I can now accomplish and the improvements I have made in my strength, balance and flexibility. Thanks to Andre, I feel stronger, safer, and more motivated than ever.”

“Having trained with you for over 10 years, I would describe your training style as results-driven, disciplined, highly personalized, and consistently challenging. There's a reason I keep coming back.”

“What distinguishes your approach is that no two workouts are ever the same. You're constantly introducing variety, targeting muscle groups that might otherwise be neglected, and challenging clients beyond what they might accomplish working out independently. Your style is direct, focused, and purposeful. You bring humor and personality to the experience, but you never lose sight of the client's goals.”

“What I particularly appreciate is your personal investment in your clients' success. When I experienced foot pain that was interfering with my workouts, you actually accompanied me to a specialty running store to ensure I was properly fitted for shoes. That level of dedication goes well beyond what most people would expect from a personal trainer.”

“You're firm without being intimidating, demanding without being unreasonable, and personable without sacrificing discipline. You don't just put clients through exercises. You assess, educate, motivate, adapt, and hold us accountable.”

Six principles. One standard.

The standard behind every session.
