About Andrew
Hi y’all! My name is Andrew Crandall and I am here to have a good time. I’m not your tradition drill Sargent, yell in your face type trainers. With me, we have fun! I like to be creative, challenging and push you to reach your full potential! Having training for 3 years now, I have worked with a wide range of clients. Young, older, healthy, recovering from injury; you name it I’ve likely seen it! If you’re looking for a change, I’m your man! Let’s take the next step together and reach for the stars!
My favorite client story
I had a client come to me when I was working for a company and tell me it took him over 30 minutes to even walk into the gym because he was so nervous. Flash forward to a year later and this client is happy as he has ever been. He is down 40 pounds, and walks into the gym with a ton of confidence. It is something I will always cherish seeing the look on his face every time we hit a new goal. Things like that push me to push the next client to have a similar story.
My favorite exercise
This one is hard for me because I have a few. I really enjoy training for sports, as well as training for aesthetics. I would say my favorite exercise is the cable kickback for my triceps. I do not know what it is but I always feel a great pump from this exercise and always include it when I work Triceps!
My favorite quote
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why" - Mark Twain. This was actually my senior quote in high school and has always stuck with me.
My training philosophy
My philosophy is simple. I want to train the clients to be the best they can be mentally and physically. through fun and challenging exercise, to being a good listener, I want my clients to come out of this experience better than when they started.
My training experience
My training experience has had a lot of ups and downs, but unfortunately many more downs. I am blessed to be healthy and happy and can push myself to extreme limits. Unfortunately I have dealt with some injuries that have derailed or stalled my training career. Most recently I suffered a torn labrum in my shoulder. It has been a process coming back from that and I am finally getting back into training the way I want to train. And thats all we can do. When things hit the fan, all we can do is smile, let the hard times pass, and then get back to work!

Andy/ Cranfit has taken my goals and have turned them into feasible steps while supporting my fitness journey, mom life and diagnosis of Lupus. He AWAYS answers my questions, pushes me to be my best, sets me up for success by giving me all the tools at the palm of my hands but also understands that mom life and struggles with lupus happens. I would recommend Andy/ Cranfit to everyone because he is such a genuine person who meets you where your at and helps you every step of the way.
I have been training with Coach Andy for 14 months. He keeps me accountable and pushes me to my max while showing compassion and understanding on my hard days. He listened to my goals and designed a program that has helped me exceed many of them. Andy is also very knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition! He breaks down calories and macros so that it all makes sense. One thing I truly love about working with Coach Andy is his main goal is to help me succeed. He is super supportive and always makes time to answer my questions. He also trains me around my work schedule. His fees are affordable so that most anyone can train with him. I am so grateful that I found Coach Andy!
He is the best trainer there is. Works with you and pushes you to do your best. If you can’t do something due to injury; he will do a workout that will fit.
