About Andrew

I've spent the last 11 years as a personal trainer while also earning my nursing degree and accumulating more than six years of experience.

​

As a registered nurse, I've traveled the country. I've worked in a variety of medical units such as ICU, Cardiac Units, Post-Operative, Covid units; in some of the biggest hospitals in cities such as Boston, Seattle, Las Vegas, Austin and other large cities. 

 

My time as travel nurse showed me that our healthcare system is not designed around preventing chronic diseases through a healthy lifestyle, but instead on managing the symptoms of these diseases, only after they've had time to wreak havoc. This went against what we know to be true, which is that 80 to 90% of the most common chronic diseases are preventable through proper diet, exercise and lifestyle changes, yet we continue to focus, and rely heavily on, medications.

 

Given my experience working throughout the country, I felt that I was perpetuating a system that was failing my patients. Knowing the power that proper diet and exercise had on my client's lives and health, I decided to leave my career as a nurse, knowing I could make a bigger impact outside of the healthcare system, rather than it. 

​

It was with this mental framework that I left my nursing career behind and went on to create A2 Fitness. At A2, we change the trajectory of our client's health and physiques by getting to the root of the problems, in hopes of preventing weight gain, chronic pain and disease from arising in the first place. Our philosophy is that "You are in control of your health" and it's our job to guide you to the best version of yourself!​
