One of the testimonials from a former client, Andrew has 15 years experience working as a personal trainer. Andrew struggled with his weight at a early age. Seeing many of his relatives battle various health issues inspired Andrew to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. At age 16 Andrew started training in martial arts, lifting weights and running track. He also started studying nutrition and cooking. Within a year he lost 60 pounds. “Being overweight as a child I feel has provided me with valuable insight. I know what’s it’s like to not feel your best and I also understand the positive changes that come from eating right and exercise.” Andrew’s passion for cooking led him to become a successful personal chef for six years. Andrew still enjoys cooking and loves to educate his clients on how to develop healthy eating habits.
Andrew’s philosophy toward exercise is based on his study of exercise science and his study of strength training, pilates and martial arts. “My whole philosophy is to get the human body into perfect alignment. I really focus on improving posture and the alignment of the spine. I look for any anomalies that prevent this from happening. I have found my methods to be very helpful in the prevention and treatment of sport and lifestyle related injuries.” Andrew spent 12 years working at a multi award winning and very exclusive personal training studio in the Back Bay in Boston.
Andrew also spent a year at Team Link Martial Arts in Ludlow, Massachusetts where he created and implemented a sports conditioning and rehab program for professional mixed martial arts fighters. His client’s included UFC veteran Ricardo Funch and pro MMA fighter John Manley.
Always looking for a new challenge Andrew is very excited to now be part of Team akua ba fitness. “I cannot even express my excitement and gratitude to be part of akua ba fitness.. D’Mario Sowah has a innovative approach toward fitness and a passion for helping people that is infectious. In 15 years of fitness you think that you have seen it all. I am learning that is not the case here! I am seeing exercises that I have never seen before! I am looking forward to learning and growing not only as a personal trainer but as a person.” Andrew holds a national personal trainer certification.
