Where do I start? Andrew is a fantastic, very professional and knowledgeable personal trainer. Also he's very patient with me, and truly kind. Further, I love that he's not promoting a "cookie-cutter" gym program; he tailors all of the sessions to your goals, and meets you where you are in your health journey after careful observation and assessment. What I enjoy most about working with him is that he explains WHY we're doing what we're doing -- something I personally respond to. And he actually LISTENS! Did I mention he also laughs at my dumb jokes? lol Anyway, he's a unicorn, and I will recommend him to anyone who listens. read more

************* REVIEW 248 **************** After my broski got ill in NOV 09, I was in the hospital every day for the next 3 months. Forgot to eat healthy food, hospital food was the only choice! You know how hospital food tastes, when you are actually there! So I was skipping the gym & then another 4 month after that, next thing I know! My body was completely out of shape! Thanks to Andrew Duffy, he helps me to get back on track, with a work out plan that would fit my busy schedule even when I'm on the road & sleep only 4hrs a night! I'm still have a long wait to go, but having Andrew support & training, make feel a lot better & so much easier than when I just go to the gym alone. Andrew is very professional, warm personality & push you a step higher to achieve your goal that totally doable & fit your lifestyle. I high recommend it him to all. read more

I was first introduced to personal trainer, Andrew Duffy about two months ago from a friend. The timing couldn't have been better. I was in a complete exercise rut and had all but given up on achieving and, especially, maintaining my fitness goals. In previous months, I had overdone it by going from zero to running every single day and my joints really paid for it. I was in pain, unhappy, unmotivated, and seemingly back to square one without a plan. I had considered joining a bootcamp here in San Francisco, since I heard there were a ton of those. I wanted the camaraderie and accountability of a group, but with my specific needs, I just didn't think I would get the personal attention I truly needed. What I found was not bootcamp, but something much better - Fitcamp! What a concept! It truly combines the benefits of having group energy in my workouts, which I love, with personal training. Andrew did a thorough consultation with me and really heard what I had to say with regard to my injuries, fitness goals, interests, life style, diet, etc. and has taken that into account in our classes. Plus, it is just a lot of fun! Working out fun? I can't believe that I would be one to say that, but it's the truth! I look forward to my workouts now which is something I always wished for, but never seemed to find. I know I might be gushing, but I am truly happy to give Andrew and his Fitcamp five stars. Since joining, I am motivated, have much more energy, have a consistent exercise schedule, and most importantly to me - I am no longer in pain, and I am loving my body again! read more

Took part in Andrew's first Fit Camp this morning and had a great time and a great work out. Fit camp was a great option for me and my wife to save a little cash and still get personalized treatment. The workout is full body and very thorough with a nice variety of exercises. Andrew does a good job of mixing it up and keeping you active so the class never got boring. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a little kick start to their day and workout routine. read more

I've long been battling a string of injuries and dealing with pain in many parts of my body. A lot of this is from my past, but just as much has to do with the workouts I have been doing and the lack of knowledge I had about what is right and what is wrong (doing squats and bench pressing followed by sitting in a chair for 10 hours has been hurting more than helping). I finally went to see Andrew and we focused on issues like flexibility, developing core strength, movement, identifying the pain points, etc. I was amazed how, in just one session, a few stretching exercises taught me more about my body than I had learned in the previous years combined. Andrew knows what he is talking about. He is very educated and has a great interest in helping people not only feel better about themselves now, but in helping build the foundation to what will certainly be better health and fitness in the long run and old age. Highly Recommended read more

I have to agree with all of the other 5 star posts I see on here. I've had better result in the last 9 months of working with Andrew than seen in the previous 10yrs! I've been intimidated in the past to work with a trainer but after observing Andrew working with other clients, I was drawn to his style and energy. We've been working on overall body work which has incorporated EVERY muscle group including my body's core. I completed my 7th AIDS LifeCycle in June, and have never felt better before, during and after! Thank you Andrew! You're amazing! I'm almost ready for that TRI I've been talking about. read more

Okay this is coming from the middle-aged dork who was always picked last for sports in school, has a monumental case of gym-phobia, a fair way to go as far as fitness is concerned, and until recently prioritized everything else before personal well-being. Starting to work with Andrew is changing all that for me. His instruction is holistic and accessible, even for a lay person completely unfamiliar with fitness protocol. What little I had learned ages ago I am surprised to find out is largely outdated, from exercise to nutrition. First big change: foods that are not only healthier, they are tastier! Andrew really started from square one in this instance, yet has been completely engaged and supportive. He is clear, patient, and motivating in a calm and totally non-threatening way. I feel welcomed and valued in the comfortable and inviting space where he works--it feels nothing at all like the big sweaty intimidating iron-pumping torture chambers I had imagined. I suspect he is well-qualified for advanced training; but what I know for sure is that he has been a pleasure to work with as I just begin to learn about living well. I am excited about the path he's started me out on. Why didn't I do this years ago? Thanks Andrew! read more

Andrew is an amazing personal trainer. I have worked out with him now for a few months and I have seen dramatic improvement in my strength and overall fitness. He is a very different type of personal trainer - heavy on core training and balance rather than brute strength through the use of barbells. It is very effective because you can use his training anywhere. He is also a very compassionate and understanding and understated trainer - He motivates through encouragement. He is calming and yet motivating. I have to say I look forward to my Saturday workouts all week. I can also say I look forward to the day I get strong enough that I am not sore the next day! read more

I can truly say that Andrew Duffy changed my life and the way I look at fitness and health. He does not typify the stereotype of a personal trainer who thinks that pumping iron all day long is a good way to get in shape and be healthy. By focusing on the development of my body's core muscular system, teaching me what we were doing and why, Andrew taught me exercises that engaged my entire body and developed my balance, flexibility and endurance along with my overall strength. In working with Andrew over the last year, I haven't become some out-of-proportion, beefy-chested, gym junky. Rather, my body's entire muscular system has steadily grown stronger and my overall health has improved. That's the other thing that's wonderful about Andrew's very adept personal training: his focus on your overall well-being rather than simply fitness. Andrew, as a certified personal trainer, understands that health is not just about exercise, but a more comprehensive lifestyle choice relating to nutrition and mental wellbeing in addition to fitness. He helped me learn what kind of foods to eat and why and taught me stress-reduction techniques related to breathing and proper posture that, between those and our training sessions, have largely relieved years of chronic back pain and excessive stressing. If you're looking for someone who will take the time to understand your personal fitness needs and who can tailor a workout to your body, life and schedule, then I recommend working with Andrew. You'll never look at your health the same way again. read more

Amazing. Andrew is knowledgable, challenging, great to work with. He taught me exactly what I came in to learn about.

A year ago, I was going through a major midlife crisis. Everything seemed to have worked against me. I lost my job and after years of self neglect and daily stress took its toll. I needed to regenerate my spirit and health so I focused on getting on track by working out and changing a lot of my personal bad habits. Working out developed a lot of determination and focus. I've had other personal trainers in previous years and most of them didn't really took the time to work with me in achieving my goals. Working with a personal trainer like Andrew Duffy was key to making me achieve that change. Andrew takes the time to work out with your weaknesses and builds it to strength. He's a great motivator and keeps you in the right track. He makes you challenge yourself to achieve the optimum results. He's knowledgeable about kenetics and strength building. He uses applied knowledge to educate you in to best bringing out the potential to where you want to be physically. After a year, I've shed almost 20 unwanted pounds, developed more muscle mass and decrease the body fat percentage. I feel and look better than I did in my 20's. Who says you can't reverse the effects of time. Working out with an Ace trainer like Andrew defies the process of advance aging, the effects of gravity and reverse the effects of time. After a year, my confidence level is at its highest. I feel better, eat smart and get the best trainer. The newly restored confidence level got me a new job. read more

Andrew Duffy is very kind & professional, and extremely knowledgeable! I constantly throw out questions and he always has a great answer and explains it in a way that I can understand. Andrew Duffy is an awesome trainer, and makes the work outs fun so I look forward to coming in. read more

I participated in Andrew's FitCamp yesterday morning and it was so energizing and invigorating. It's a great way to start the day. Andrew trains us effectively in many fun and challenging exercises, and I felt as though I really worked my muscles. Even in the class, he gives individualized attention, and while he challenges us, he doesn't push too hard, for he takes into account our limits in performing certain movements. Andrew's personal training technique and positive attitude throughout the workout helped motivate me to do the exercises. I highly recommend Andrew's FitCamp. read more

I was introduced to Andrew Duffy's Fitcamp SF about a month ago. I am already seeing some results! I love it because it keeps me motivated and gets me to do the strength training that I need to complete my work out routine. Running a few days a week just doesn't cut it. Andrew provides great personal attention and has genuine concern for your health. He focuses on preventing injury and making the workouts work for you! Best fitcamp NOT bootcamp in San Francisco! read more
