I am grateful to the online coaching clients you see on this page for being kind enough to share their stories with you. 🙏🏻
I don't claim to have made any of them successful — they are all hard-working, dedicated people — I just helped guide them.
We all have individual starting points, but the struggles we go through are similar. Take inspiration, but bear in mind that your results will vary depending on genetics, adherence, and effort.
“A big part of this was learning to get my food right so that I didn’t hate life…” Stuart describes how once he stopped believing in shortcuts, he applied the basics consistently over time to carve out his physique. Stuart is 43 years old.
“One of the biggest lessons that I learned was that when you go on a diet, about halfway through, you feel small and deflated, but if you keep at it and just let the coach do their job, the place you end up at is much more satisfying and exciting.”
Tariq told me that he turned 40 last week and this left my jaw on the floor. Bravo!
“I used to weigh 350 lbs. I lost the first 100 lbs on my own by making simple, obvious adjustments to my lifestyle, such as cutting out the junk food and soda.
Eventually, I hit a plateau…”
Many people find that having to travel regularly for business stops them from achieving their physique goals. That does not have to be the case.
James is an executive that travels internationally for business regularly. Nearly half of my clients are like James. Though this makes training and diet efforts a little more complicated, and the results longer to achieve, if you have the right attitude you will get there. The key to success is avoiding the ‘all or nothing’ mindset; doing what you can when you can. In this video testimonial James shares insights into his journey over the last year.
“Before I hired Andy I found myself consistently frustrated, not knowing what to do. I’d like to share my big takeaways with you in the hope that they are useful.”
“Andy said one simple thing and it changed everything for me. ‘We start by going after the optimal weight gain target. Once we have that set and we see that the calories are giving us that, then we know that we don’t have to touch the food anymore. Then we deal with the training, the rest, and the stress… In my opinion, coaching is one of those life hacks that is just a no-brainer.'”
“The most valuable part of this experience was to be able to let go of the daily “what-ifs” and remove that added stress. I had your experience in my corner and I could lean on that and not micro-manage my own experience. I found myself seeing a number on the…
“I wanted to feel comfortable at the beach/pool, with or without a shirt. I didn’t want the dad bod that so many dads have. I worked out for a long time and continued to do so consistently, but I had never been able to figure out what works for me….
“The most valuable lesson I learned was patience and consistency. Every time I’ve tried cutting on my own, I make changes too quickly because I always try to lose too much too fast. I learned it takes time to get lean if you want to hang on to your muscle and strength….
“The coaching was exactly what I needed. More than anything, it was the peace of mind that someone was monitoring my progress and I wasn’t going it alone.⠀There were many times I would have jumped too quickly to make an adjustment, but having unbiased eyes was a huge help to…
“The photos are quite telling, and at first, I was wondering what trickery you played with them. I didn’t realize how drastic my own results were as I see myself in the mirror every day and forgot where I started.”⠀This comment from Phil put a huge smile on my face.⠀It…
“Nine months! It has been a grind man. I think I’ve done a good job given that I became a father and have been generally sleep deprived for the past 7 months.⠀So the progress I’ve made, the adherence, it just shows that great things are in line. I’m ready for…
Dave couldn’t always be perfect, and things didn’t always go to plan.⠀But Dave trusted in the process, kept going, and didn’t let the times he couldn’t adhere feed more excuses.⠀Be like Dave. “It was a long road, but ultimately, I achieved what I was hoping for, so I’m happy with…
“Crazy to think this is my 12 week update and the end of this journey. I am more than happy with the results that we were able to achieve and I can certainly appreciate the before and after pictures. I really couldn’t have asked for a better motivator and coach,…
“I’ve worked with several ‘big name’ internet trainers/coaches. ALL of their programs and diets produced results initially. The problem for me was that those programs required increasing amounts of gym time and caloric restriction to either maintain or produce further results. I had to be honest with myself about the…
I used to weigh 350 lbs. I lost the first 100 lbs on my own by making simple, obvious adjustments to my lifestyle, but eventually I hit a plateau. My results have been amazing. It has exceeded my expectations. Despite stress, illness, holidays, everything life threw at me, Andy has…
