Client Story
Ava
The Goal
Ava met Andrea at 215lbs, carrying years of doubting what her body could actually do. She said she wanted to lose weight, but that wasn't all. What she wanted was something she hadn't felt in a long time: to look in the mirror and recognize herself, to feel confident again, and to prove to herself that she could commit to something hard and actually follow through.
The Approach
I started Ava on a strength-first program to help her rebuild her relationship with her own body before anything else by teaching her how to train, not just handing her a list of exercises. Over the following months, we layered in progressive overload, adjusted her nutrition in phases as her fitness improved, and brought in structured challenge cycles once she was ready for them. What happened next went a lot deeper than the number on the scale.👏
In Her Own Words
"She shifted my mindset about strength training, met me where I was, and built me up over time. I went from barely getting through a workout to lifting 25 to 30 lb weights. Andrea did not just train my body. She transformed my confidence, my mindset, and my health."
Client Story
Lupe
The Goal
Lupe started working with Andrea at 250lbs with one clear goal: she wanted to feel strong again. She'd tried other things before, but never found a trainer who made her see her goals were attainable. What she needed was someone to hold her accountable, adjust the plan as needed, and build it around her real starting point, not some idea of where she should already be.
The Approach
I built Lupe's program around a mix of cardio and strength training to help her lose fat while rebuilding her endurance and confidence from the ground up. My focus was on habits she could actually stick with and showing up consistently, not extreme methods that would burn her out. As her fitness improved, I kept raising the bar enough to keep her challenged, but never so much that it overwhelmed her. 31lbs later, she's still going strong.💪
In Her Own Words
"She pushes you to do more than you ever imagined your body could do, helps you stay focused on your goals, and motivates you to keep going. I was 250 lbs when I started. I am now down to 219 lbs and still going strong."
