I've been working with Andrea for almost a year, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best…read moreinvestments I've made in my health. I originally started working with her during perimenopause, a time when I felt like my entire body had changed. No matter what I was doing on my own, I wasn't seeing results, and between running a business, managing a demanding career, raising two kids, and handling all of life's responsibilities, I struggled to stay consistent with exercise. Andrea has been the accountability, guidance, and support I didn't even realize I needed. One of the things I appreciate most is how safe and confident I feel during our workouts. She challenges me in all the right ways, but never pushes me beyond what my body is ready for. I trust her completely. Every workout feels intentional, thoughtful, and tailored to where I am physically. Whether I'm dealing with soreness, fatigue, or different phases of my cycle, Andrea is incredibly in tune with what my body needs and adjusts our training accordingly. I never feel judged or pressured--I simply feel supported. Strength training has become such an important part of my life, especially during this stage of womanhood, and I honestly don't think I would have been able to stay as consistent or confident doing it on my own. Andrea has helped me build strength, but more importantly, she's helped me build trust in my body again. Beyond fitness, her nutrition coaching has been invaluable. She has educated me on the importance of protein, macros, and properly fueling my body in a way that makes sense for this phase of life. The way I need to nourish myself now is very different from what worked 10 or 20 years ago, and Andrea has helped me understand not only what to eat, but why it matters. Her guidance has been practical, realistic, and easy to incorporate into my everyday life. As a woman, it's been especially meaningful to work with another woman who truly understands how our bodies change over time. Andrea listens deeply, offers thoughtful guidance, and always provides encouragement, practical tips, and solutions that help me stay consistent and positive. What I love most is that her focus isn't on chasing a number on the scale. Her philosophy is centered around feeling strong, energetic, healthy, and capable--and that's exactly how I feel after working with her. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, incredibly attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you feel your best, I can't recommend Andrea highly enough.

I've been working out with Andrea twice a week for the past eight months, and I can't recommend her…read morehighly enough! I came to her after doing a short stint in CrossFit, where I was struggling with hip pain and unable to keep up with the high volume of squats. My goal was to focus on strength training and building muscle. From day one, Andrea really listened and tailored our sessions to focus on building strength and muscle without aggravating my hip. Andrea is incredibly attentive to form, always making sure I'm moving safely and effectively which is a huge priority for me. I continue to progress in building up my strength and I feel stronger and more confident in my body than I have in years--I've lost body fat, gained muscle, and feel like I'm truly training with intention now. Andrea helped me with nutritional guidance, including dialing in my macros to make sure I'm fueling properly to support muscle growth. She also gives me home workouts so I can stay consistent and keep progressing even on days we're not training together. Andrea balances listening to what I want while also pushing me just the right amount. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I'm so glad I found her!

I had my 8yo in camps several times with YMCA. He attended there sports camp and they called me…read moresaying he was hit by a baseball in the face. The councilor said they did not provide helmets but did to the other children after the incident. When I arrived my child had a massive swelling on his forehead and I had to rush him to the Er. The councilor said they accept full responsibility. Several weeks later I got the bill and contacted them for payment and Brittney Lingenfelter, Program Director replied this: Good Morning Michael, Thank you for reaching out. Again, we hope Skylar is feeling better and recovering well. Please note that the YMCA does not carry participant medical liability insurance. If you have additional questions or need further clarification, we're happy to assist where we can. I wrote her back several times with question over the next several week and she has ignored every message with no reply. Very unprofessional of Brittney Lingenfelter to ignore our emails and not address the situation.

Alexa and I met 2-3 times per week and had a different workout each time. She was really supportive and was right there with me doing my cardio intervals and keeping me motivated. I also liked that she set me up for the days I didn't see her by giving me a plan for my independent work outs. I dropped over 30# in the 4 months leading up to my wedding, and a good part of that was due to her nutritional counseling. On my wedding day I was slim and toned and happy. Alexa is really knowledgeble, she has her degree in this field, not just a certification. Can't recommend her enough!
