I waited to give this review at least one year out since the start of working with Andrea.
My initial & priority goals are strength & energy, which came quicker than I thought (I'm talking about weeks!). Then, a few months in, I decided to get married. I started taking Andrea's nutritional advice seriously and I was able to drop 15 lbs. within 5 weeks of my wedding! Not to mention that I looked and felt the best that I had in YEARS! I continued on with the good nutrition, it actually is pretty easy, and not only have I lost 40 POUNDS to date, but I feel so amazing that eating bad is not worth losing my progress and how insanely great & strong I feel: physically, mentally & spiritually.
I am 40, exercise & nutrition are very important to me now that I am getting older. However, it is honestly not hard at all. I spend just a small amount of my time working out with Andrea & a small amount of time planning out good nutrition. It is almost unimaginable what a big task I used to think both of these things were, but come to think of it, it was actually that I lacked the knowledge that Andrea has delivered.
I have literally had to get rid of every piece of old clothing and completely restock my wardrobe (even my chonies ;-). I didn't buy too much to restock though, my body is STILL changing and I continue to lose! So, what started as a target for energy & strength, turned into a 180° transformation for me - inside & out.
As I said, as you go on it gets easy & habitual. However, the key lies with consistency. Having sessions with Andrea regularly and her heaps of advice & knowledge is what really has kept me on track. Without her specific & targeted guidance, I would not be as successful & I know it would be much more challenging to remain consistent. Not to mention that the start of my journey was interrupted with this crazy COVID-19 pandemic! Andrea was flexible as this whole thing unfolded, day-by-day, week-by-week. She adjusted to practicing CDC guidelines as they morphed and she was always on the side of extra cautiousness. I didn't miss one session, due to the pandemic. She just made it happen and I attribute a lot of my success to her.
On a personal note, Andrea is fun, silly & the sweetest ball of energy. I love starting my mornings with her. Most of the time, I forget I'm working out. I'm usually a little draggy & really don't want to be there, but it ALWAYS changes within minutes. The workout and Andrea are the reason. She is a very smart, kick-ass, strong female. She inspires & fuels me with these traits. Needless to say, by the end or our sessions, I am always 1,000% in gratitude for having her in my life & our time together. I feel complete serenity, positive energy & strength to go out into the world and kick ass doing my part everywhere I go. Like I mentioned, I recently turned 40. I couldn't' be happier with myself that I finally made my body & health a priority and I feel extremely fortunate that I connected specifically with Andrea to start my journey & learning. She is super knowledgeable about everything nutrition & exercise, usually from a personal standpoint. I love that she has tried everything personally, so that she can be a good training & wealth of knowledge to us clients. And if she doesn't know off the top of her head, she enjoys the challenge and will hit you back with scientific data-driven responses in less than two business days. HA! She loves research and especially about her trade.
I am so fortunate to have Andrea in my corner, uplifting me in so many ways.
5 starts for this amazing woman ;) read more
