About Andrea
Making Wellness Simple (for real)
I didn’t start as the “perfect eater.” For years I had an unhealthy relationship with food- all-or-nothing rules, “good vs bad” days, and a scale that dictated my mood. I finally did the work: learned the why behind nutrition and training, ditched the extremes, and built habits that feel sane and sustainable. Now I help clients do the same- eat enough, train confidently, and drop the guilt while getting stronger.
I grew up in Upstate New York playing soccer and running track, then spent 10 years as a firefighter, which taught me safety, composure, and teamwork under pressure. I studied Exercise Science and earned certifications as a Health Coach and Youth Fitness Specialist. I’ve also worked in pediatric medicine, which gave me a deep respect for meeting people exactly where they’re at.
How I coach:
Strength first, form always- clear cues, smart progressions, and zero ego
Practical nutrition- protein anchors, flexible meals, no “food lists,” no shame
Small wins that stack- we keep it simple so you can actually live your life
The best part of my job is watching people gain confidence- not just from how they look, but from what their body can do. Fitness should be enjoyable, even when it’s challenging, and it should fit your reality (work, kids, travel, stress).
When I’m not coaching, I’m probably hiking, bouldering, or hunting down a cozy coffee shop. If you want coaching that’s supportive, science-backed, and totally doable, I’m in your corner.
My favorite client story
I don’t have one ‘favorite.’ What gets me are the real moments when someone stops stressing about food, feels strong in their body, and you can see that quiet ‘I can do this’ look. That pride is contagious, and it’s why I love coaching.
My favorite exercise
Favorite exercise? The basics. They’re the foundation for a reason. I love the deadlift, squat, and bench press- mastering these patterns builds strength fast without a bunch of gimmicks. Simplicity is key to consistent results.
My favorite quote
"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use."

Andrea is wonderful and has a program specifically designed for my needs
Andrea is amazing at what she does! She is very knowledgeable and so much fun to be around!
I’ve been working with Andrea for a few months now and have really grown to look forward to our weekly workouts! She’s so energetic, positive, and bubbly! We have so much fun, but she also kicks my butt! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal trainer!
Andrea is so detail oriented and really puts in the time to customize your program for your particular goals. She is so sweet and fun to be around which makes working out with her that much better. Highly recommend!!!
Andrea is great! Her program for me is working!
Andrea is the best trainer I've ever had. I look forward to our workouts because I enjoy working out with and talking to her and because I know I will feel great and just the right amount of tired after she subtlety pushes me to achieve more. I feel incredibly motivated to increase my reps/time/weight/stretches with Andrea because she is so encouraging and I because I know that Andrea is customizing and planning how to get me to my next goal each session. She is fabulous at noticing and making slight adjustments to my form so that I'm targeting the muscles and getting the best workout. In addition to the personal training, she sprinkles in great nutrition and wellness tips. She makes me feel strong and capable and she makes me laugh and smile while working out. I give my highest recommendation to Andrea and my fiancé keeps asking when he can start working out with her too!
Andrea is the best! She has been working with my teenage son who has strength and posture issues. I couldn’t ask for a more patient, encouraging, and inspiring trainer! My son looks forward to his workout with Andrea every week, and has been following her plan for months with incredible improvements. Highly recommend!
Andrea is a wonderful experience! and an excellent personal trainer. The individualized fitnesses programs she creates are on spot to help you reach your goal. She truly cares and has so much passion in helping you Improve a healthy lifestyle. Plus my daughter who happens to have Down Syndrome also trains with Andrea. She has created a work out that has allowed my daughter to improve her upper body strength/lower body strength and balance. Most of our kiddos with Down Syndrome have low tone muscle to begin with. She has done an excellent job strengthening my daughter from head- toe. Andrea is always pleasant while reminding my daughter or me, to maintain correct body position. I would recommend anyone who would like to improve their fitness rather it be for you or your child to work with Andrea.
I was relieved that Andrea had the education and background to understand my medical condition. She asked the right questions and developed the appropriate program for me. She's extremely professional and easy to work with.
I’m 59 yrs and 8 months in with my 2x week with Andrea and am feeling so much stronger and mobile. My sessions with her are making me feel 5 years younger.
Andrea is awesome! My wife and I have been working with her for the past year. She developed individual plans for each of us. Its been a lot of fun and she’s really motivated us to keep in shape!
Andrea is knowledgeable, friendly and great at personalizing the exercises any way you need! She's helped me gain confidence and strength and I can't recommend her enough!
Andrea is amazing, she always helps me build work outs, and we adjust to my needs for the session. We always talk, and have great and friendly interactions. She also is very good with helping me schedule appointments and we make the best of our time together!
My first time working with a personal trainer and Andrea made me feel comfortable and confident right away. I really appreciate the care she takes listening to my goals and preferences to produce customized, full body routines. Plus we have so much fun. Thanks Andrea!
She creates great workout plans that leave me feeling energized and pumped. Plus she’s fun to hang out with - not only is she my trainer, but she also feels like a great friend!
I have been training with Andrea for over a year and I can’t speak more highly of her. She is a fun, knowledgeable, compassionate, and motivating person. She listens to my woes and formulates workouts that target the right zones. She keeps things fresh and consistently changes things up, so I get a full body workout and introduces me to areas where I didn’t even know I had muscles. Andrea’s fitness regime is sustainable. I no longer dread working out and seriously look forward to my training every week!
