My first impression of Andrea was that she was tough, hardworking, motivated and healthy. All things I wanted to be. However at that time, I thought of myself as a slob, fat, ugly, failure and awkward. Even though I was working hard to lose 100+ pounds, I just didn't see myself as successful - until Andrea! I was fortunate to meet Andrea at Cross-Train where she lead boot camp each morning and at first I wasn't sure what that would mean for me with a new trainer. As classes went by I recognized how much she motivated me to get up early every morning and I looked forward to seeing her. She noticed if I didn't show up and wouldn't accept any excuses if I tried to give one. She got to know me, my story, my goals, and knew I was capable of more - even when I didn't.

When it came time that Cross-Train ran a "Biggest Loser" inspired weight loss challenge, I knew I was going to pick Andrea over the other trainers to get me through this 12 week weight loss challenge.
Andrea met with our group of 10 girls each week. She inspired us to be a team, she led discussion groups where we were open about our fears and feelings, and she led us on fitness challenges that I never thought my body was capable of. She reviewed and set up eating plans and introduced me to clean eating, which has changed my life forever! In fact she was such a phenomenal trainer/coach/mentor, that at the end of that 12 week challenge, I lost 30 pounds and WON the entire thing! In fact, at the weigh in, Andrea was there beside me the moment I realized I had lost 100 pounds total. She has wiped my tears, kicked my ass, and shown me that I am worthy and capable of more than I could ever imagine!
If you ever have the opportunity to train with Andrea or have her help you with any health goal - TAKE IT! It will change your life for the better. She will be your coach forever...no matter where she is, I know that she is rooting me on, supporting my dreams, and will always help me with training and fitness goals. Andrea has left a legacy behind here in Kelowna. She bonded our group of weight loss challengers so much that we recently completed Tough Mudder together, using the training and nutrition fundamentals, not to mention team work support, that she taught all of us! To date, I have lost and kept off 140 pounds, completed fitness challenges I never thought possible, and I'm proud to say that Andrea helped me achieve that and in fact was there during the most pivotal moments when I got beyond 70 pounds lost, where I had been at a few times, and took it to the point of success! There will never be enough words to express my gratitude to Andrea. I am tough, motivated, hard working, and healthy, just like her!"
