I've trained with Andy for a full year now, and I can say without hesitation he's the best personal…read moretrainer I've worked with.
Some context: I'm a busy executive who spends most of my day at a desk. I don't have much time, and I'm not interested in bulking up. I told Andy up front that I care about three things: better posture, less lower back pain, and, sure, looking good is a nice bonus. He didn't hand me a cookie-cutter program. He built everything around those goals.
The results speak for themselves. My posture is noticeably better, my lower back feels stronger, and I carry myself differently. Years of desk sitting had me hunched forward, and that is finally reversing.
He also handles my unusual requests. I dabble in surfing, and all that time at a desk made it hard to keep my neck up when paddling. Andy noticed, adjusted my training to work on it, and it has made a real difference. That is a very different ask than "make me huge," and he delivered exactly what I needed.
Here's what really sets him apart: the whole session is turnkey. When I'm with Andy, my goal is to turn my brain off, and he makes that possible. He tracks the reps, follows the plan, adjusts on the fly, and keeps everything moving, so all I have to do is show up and work. What most people don't see is how hard that is. His gym is busy, with people everywhere and plenty of them trying to talk to him, and he stays completely focused on me the entire hour. That level of attention is rare.
And let's be honest, I'm not an easy client. I refuse to diet, and I never work out on my own. Every result I've gotten has come from my sessions with Andy alone. That is a tough job, and he has made it work.
He's knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly cares whether you get what you came for. His spot is near SNA airport, which is a bit of a drive for me, but it is absolutely worth it.
If you sit at a desk all day, deal with back pain, or want a trainer who builds around your real goals and does the thinking for you, go see Andy. Highly recommend.
