recent client goal achievement stories
Adam
My client Adam reached out for fitness coaching support because he was concerned about how long he could sustain his career as an ER nurse lifting, pulling, and pushing all of the people that were arriving at the hospital in an ambulance without suffering lower back and arm injuries.
After 3 months of small group personal training he blew his goals away and increased his overall strength by 33%, giving him the confidence that he can safely and effectively help others at work move patients around without sustaining an injury. We also corrected some muscle dysfunction issues he was dealing like his muscles weren’t firing right, increased his hamstring mobility by 15” reducing his risk of a hamstring muscle strain, and loosened up his tight hip flexors so that they no longer were making his lower back weaker.
Brock
When I met Brock he initially just wanted to have a trainer that he could have sessions on the calendar with so that he would show up and do anything. We dove deeper and discovered that he’d really like to have better strength and endurance so he could lift his son over his head, enjoy water/back country skiing more, feel more metabolically healthy, and upgrade his fat burning capability. After 2-3 months of 1 on 1 resistance training he achieved all 6 of his goals:
Back squat strength went from 200 to 285 (85 lb improvement - 42% increase)
Bench press strength went from 210 to 240 (30 lb improvement - 14% increase)
Pull up strength went from needing 195lbs of assistance down to 125lbs of assistance (70 lb improvement - 36% increase)
Sit up endurance went from 36 to 70 (34 more - 94% increase)
Squats endurance went from 80 to 132 (52 more - 65% increase)
Push up endurance went from 18 to 29 (11 more - 61% increase)
Brock’s 5 star google review:
“I've used many trainers over the years and Andrew is by far the best. He tracks everything and politely pushes you to do better. I have made more progress in three months with Andrew than I've ever made with another trainer, combined.”
Brenda
I had been struggling with stage 2 high blood pressure for over 30 years requiring multiple medications to help stabilize it. I felt like she had tried everything over the years between various diets, food tracking, exercise, and nothing had worked. Andrew and I designed a customized 3 months holistic health and lifestyle program together and met once per week for a 30 minute health coaching session. In just 3 months I lower my blood pressure by 32 points exceeding the normal standards.
Brenda’s 5 star Google review:
“I highly recommend Andrew's health and lifestyle coaching program. Andrew is a terrific coach, and more importantly an excellent listener. I got some excellent short-term wins, and I'm confident these new habits will continue to last and level up through the long-term.”
Jill
I endorse and enthusiastically recommend the Life Strength Fitness custom lifestyle coaching program. Adhering to the suggested practices has made a significant positive difference in my life. When I started my program, I was stressed all the time, and I couldn’t sleep. Andrew taught me how to truly read ingredient labels so that I could successfully purge all of the unhealthy food in my kitchen, restocking it with better alternatives, plan out an eating window that aligned better with my wake and sleep cycle, drinking the proper amount of fluids for my body, putting hard limits on when my clients can blow up my phone, and giving myself more time to wind down and enjoy reading my memoir books. All of these things combined have helped me feel so much less stress throughout the day, I sleep longer throughout the night than I have in years, and have energy that lasts all day long.
Jose
I recently graduated my client Jose who enrolled in my 28 day body transformation course and lifestyle coaching. He came to me very concerned about his blood pressure and all the extra weight he put on over the past couple years. He put a lot of effort into learning new knowledge, lifestyle skills, acquiring additional resources, creating action steps in his 1 on 1 coaching sessions, and starting medication. In just 4 weeks all of this helped him lose 18lbs., drop 19 points off his blood pressure into the excellent range, trim 7.5” off all over his body, and give him the peace of mind that he will be there for his family and enjoy life with them for many years to come.
Jill
My client Jill recently lost 12lbs and SO MANY inches, giving her the defined legs and stomach she always wanted. When I met her she was doing max effort long runs 5 days per week, but frustrated that she wasn’t losing any weight or inches. I told her that she’s likely working too hard and that we should test what her peak fat burning and sugar burning heart rate limits are. After a 30 minute aerobic fitness test on a treadmill, I designed her remote aerobic conditioning program using the aerobic method that she wanted and was goal-specific using the bike in her living room. She now barely has to break a sweat to lose fat and inches, gets to binge watch desperate house wives, and just has to occasionally glance at her heart rate monitor to make sure she’s in her optimal fat burning range.
Cameron
Cameron reached out to me because his body didn’t function or feel the way he envisioned it should in his early 30s. He works a full time desk job, bikes to work the 2 days he has to go into the office, but didn’t have the strength to lift his bike over things to get it up to his office, his lower back and neck hurt all the time, his posture wasn’t the best, and he didn’t have the confidence that he could ski this winter or do chores around his house without hurting himself. He set the goal of being able to do a 1 minute plank in 1 month to help his posture, lower back pain, and improve his confidence that he could ski this winter without hurting himself.
After 1 month of small group corrective exercise coaching, he exceeded his goal and held a plank for 1 minute 13 seconds. In addition by targeting all of the weak and tight areas of his body, he increased his strength by 100%, eliminated his lower back and neck pain, can touch his toes again for the first time in 10 years, and has regained the confidence that he can downhill ski this winter and help out around the house without hurting himself.
David
My client David crushed a 500lb Calf Raise iso a few weeks ago before going on vacation in the black hills. This specialty exercise strengthens the muscles of the feet, calves, butt, low back, and ab stabilizers. After just 1 year of small group personal training he’s gone from body weight being challenging for this exercise all the way up to 500lbs. This has helped boost his strength on tons of other exercises, extend the lifespan of his degrading hip for more than 10 years, and most importantly allowed him to keep up, pain free on 12 mile long hikes in the black hills with his 20 year old boys.
