    I credit Dr Schmitt with saving my life. I found his lectures and videos on YouTube and am blessed…read moreto live 30 minutes from his office. His clinical experience puts him over there bar of excellence as a practitioner. His knowledge of herbs and nutrition is beyond the PhD nutritionists that I know and his process for reversing chronic disease is legit. He lowered my hypertension and triglycerides - confirmed by my annual bloodwork, stopped the symptoms of my autoimmune disease, and improved how I feel. If you are 'looking for another doctor' or looking down the alternative pathway, please heed my opinion in this review and go to Dr. Schmitt. He knows the mechanism that is causing your pain and he genuinely cares about your health. Thank you.

    I knew I had a complex situation, but regular doctors have missed diagnoses and poisoned me with…read moredrugs. So I continually try to find alternative help. The initial email I received sounded promising but the help stopped there. My initial practitioner was Amanda. Frankly, she was not very bright. She made no queries as to what I was already taking, went entirely on the results of the blood test they did, basically treating the test results instead of me. As is the norm in allopathic medicine, the entire reason why I sought a different kind of help. She even wrote down the opposite of something I said, which was that the lactate form of magnesium I was taking appeared to be CAUSING my RLS, because when I started on a different form it was obvious what the connection was. But -- that was either not understood at all or was simply ignored, because what she wrote down was that it was helping. !!!!! How can you treat someone when you can't even get a simple report like this recorded correctly? Even though I had no improvement in symptoms and actually continued to decline, I just got the "same old same old" every session, with more and more being added based on my "progression" through the clipboard of "this is what you do for this test result." Balderdash, blah-blah, no IQ evident, just rules following. What about what I was already taking? Why was that not investigated for efficacy or negative effects? 35 pills a day already, and we ignore that? I was referred to Dr Schmidt himself, who also did absolutely nothing to help -- kept testing this and that supplement remotely, nopity-nope-nope. I decided to eat the $200 "exit fee" because it was cheaper than continuing to pay for something that CLEARLY was focused on a program that operates on what test results are for that "most wonderful test" that they use as a baseline. Don't bother wasting your money.

    Having worked with Andrew for close to 20 years -- from my time as a competitive athlete in high…read moreschool and college and now as a casual athlete in my mid-30s -- I can say that he is truly a world class fitness professional. He is extremely knowledgeable and well-credentialed in many facets of the industry, from strength and mobility training to injury prevention and rehabilitation to nutrition coaching, and more. Perhaps more importantly, he is constantly learning and growing to stay up-to-date on the latest scientific information, data, and best practices. As a trainer, Andrew listens to his clients' needs and tailors programs to fit what they want to accomplish and how to realistically achieve their goals within the context of the busy lives, schedules, and calendars that we all have. He is open to feedback, and actively seeks out information from his clients about their athletic/exercise background, injury history, nutritional and sleep habits, and other lifestyle factors that allow for a truly personalized program for each individual to reach their exercise goals and remain healthy, active individuals long past their athletic prime. As a person, Andrew is fun, easy going, and lighthearted. He creates an environment in his gym that is simultaneously motivating and appropriately intense, while never making you feel intimidated or judged -- making it seem as though anyone from a professional athlete to a first-time exerciser would feel equally comfortable in the space and in his presence. Whether you are seeking competitive or sport-specific training, injury rehabilitation, weight loss or strength gains, or simply want to stay healthy and mobile as you age, I could not recommend Andrew highly enough. We are very lucky to have someone in our community with the knowledge and skills that Andrew posses. Thanks for all that you do!

    I have had many experiences with personal trainers over the years.

I've been training with Andrew now for years. I first started seeing him when I needed help continuing with my weight loss and strength training. As a patient with heart disease he did a wonderful job of challenging me without pushing my limits. Workouts are always different, fun, and a great pace. His knowledge of nutrition, fitness, science, and his dedication to expanding this knowledge has made him an amazing diverse trainer. I came back for training after my heart transplant and it's been one of the best experiences in my journey. I've never felt this safe during workouts. If you're looking for a trainer that will care about you, motivate you, and bring you great results, he is your guy.
