Andrew has made the journey for me to compete in my first figure body building competition such an easy and enjoyable experience! I had only heard great things about Andrew from other people he had trained and I just knew I had to get him on board to help me prep for my first comp. I approached Andrew around Sep 2009, enlisted his expertise, and was told I could be ready for a comp by July 2009.

Dieting down for a competition is hard work. The low body fat levels required are hard to achieve, and many figure competitors have found the dieting process very tough. For some the temptation to binge eat is overwhelming with many ending up with eating disorders. My past relationship with food had been rocky, with a brief encounter with anorexia in my teens. So I knew if I wanted to maintain my sanity, and continue to be healthy, I had to find someone who would want that for me too. Someone who would not take any nonsense from me! I very quickly realised that if I followed Andrew’s instructions, and completed each and every workout to the best of my ability, I was not going to have any trouble at all. I have learnt so much about myself, and also the process involved in getting ready for a figure competition in such a short amount of time. I have never felt better, never been fitter, never been healthier, never eaten so much good food, and never looked so good in my life – and I have Andrew to thank for it.

I know that after my first competition I am not going to have any trouble maintaining my low body fat levels. I love my new look and would recommend Andrew’s services to anyone serious about creating and maintaining their best body ever!

Thankyou a million times over Andrew!!!

Dear Andrew,

It is going to be quite hard for me to write this testimonial without gushing. When I think of everything your coaching has done for me over the past few years I become a little overwhelmed. So much has happened in my life in the past 4 years and you have been at the centre of most of it, keeping me grounded and focused on my goals and training.

When I first came to see you it was to compete in my first Figure Bodybuilding competition at a State level. Through your guidance and coaching I got more than I bargained for!! I have gone on to achieve and do more than I ever dreamed or thought possible.

Your coaching has seen me through quite a few tough times over the past few years, and through it all your committment to coaching and educating me never wavered. Not during the early emotional eating periods when we first met, nor any time since. In fact one of the biggest things you have ever done for me was to help me overcome my emotional eating habits and for this I will always be grateful.

You have a way of bringing out the best in not only me, but all your athletes and clients. You have an uncanny knack of knowing what each person needs at a particular time. You know when to be kind, when to be a teacher, when to be a sage, when to be a friend and when to kick our butts. Even when you are kicking my butt personally, you do it in a way that I know you still have faith in me. That you believe I can achieve what is in my heart. Your truth and honesty is much appreciated, and I value your opinion enormously.

I would have to say that the most important thing I have learned from you is that this journey I began 4 years ago with you was that it is not just about the sport I chose to compete in. It was about committing to a healthy lifestyle all year around. That eating and living healthfully meant no on-season and no off-season, but a lifestyle forever. Yes, I still have my stumbles, but through it all you are patient, encouraging and the provider of never-ending pearls of wisdom that you have learned over not just your own journey, but that of your other clients and athletes.

I still cannot believe you have been actually able to come up with a price list for your services, because what you have done for me is absolutely priceless and I mean that with all sincerity.

With much respect,
Rae Cattach

Andrew’s coaching provides me with stability, guidance, support and the answers that allow me to do what I do. He is calm, in control and clear with his instructions and message. He backs me 100% and does his best to assist me, to deliver my best- above and beyond the commitment that I have ever seen from another coach. We are a great team that has produced much better results than I ever could as an individual.
