About Coach

Andy has been a member of the Anchored Athletics community for four years and has been coaching since October 2025. Having experienced the gym both as an athlete and a coach, he brings a strong appreciation for purposeful training and long-term development. A lifelong team-sport athlete, Andy found CrossFit as a way to continue pushing his limits in a competitive, community-driven environment. Many movements were initially outside his comfort zone, which now shapes how he coaches — with patience, smart progression, and an emphasis on growth over quick fixes. Andy’s coaching philosophy is rooted in consistency, quality movement, and meeting athletes where they are. He enjoys coaching athletes of all levels, with a particular focus on pacing, sustainable intensity, and working hard without burning out. Every class he coaches is intentional, with clear movement standards, thoughtful progressions, and a strong emphasis on safety and development. No shortcuts, no ego — just effective training done the right way. He has his CrossFit Level 1 and HYROX Foundations training. Outside of the gym, Andy is a father of three mostly grown boys. You’ll usually find him mountain biking, watching sports, or cheering on his sons as they compete in soccer and rowing. He’s also perpetually chasing better handstand walk consistency. His favourite movements are box jump overs (unless a shin gets involved) and bar muscle-ups. Least favourites? Wall balls and thrusters — for obvious reasons. His fuel of choice is black coffee, preferably paired with a scone (with raisins of course). Andy is here to help you get stronger, move better, and show up with confidence — in the gym and in life.
