ANTHONY’s BIO.
he/hIM/his
By taking the time to truly get to know you, your goals, and building a strong foundation, I believe your potential is boundless. Through an in-depth fitness assessment designed to understand your unique needs, I create a completely customized training plan tailored to you. Whether you're in training for a triathlon, want to smile every time you look into a mirror, or simply looking to confidently say "YES!" to your next hiking invitation from a friend, I’m committed to meet you where you are and help you get there. Guiding you to shape a body built for all of life’s adventures is my passion!
My fitness journey began when I was preparing for Navy Dive School. I became fascinated by the mental and physical resilience people can develop when striving to reach a goal. My fitness goals started small, celebrating the little wins along the way, and eventually grew to include long-distance triathlon races. After my military service, I discovered a passion for helping clients achieve their fitness goals but took a detour to become a financial advisor.
While I was sharpening my skills in goal-setting and strategic planning, I also came to understand the firsthand impact of being desk-bound all day. Grappling with long work hours, a sedentary lifestyle, and the mental strain they carried, I once again embraced my true calling: empowering individuals to enhance their physical well-being by guiding them through the complex fitness world, with expertise, kindness, motivation, and unwavering support.
As a dedicated student of life, my drive for knowledge is never-ending. Since 2018, I became certified as a personal trainer and knew the learning was just beginning. I explore diverse schools of thought which allow me to offer my clients workouts rooted in the latest results-driven research and real-world application.
I aspire to create a training environment that fosters growth by establishing a strong connection between the mind and muscles through intentional movements. We live in a world that is constantly on the move and there will inevitably be days when sleep or nutrition fall short. During those moments, I am here to offer even greater support, adapting and making the changes needed to keep you feeling your best.
During my down time, you'll find me immersed in ocean dives, trekking alongside my rescue pup on hiking adventures, or cruising on a long motorcycle ride. My constant pursuit is to discover life's balance, one mindful movement at a time.

TESTIMONIALS.
Anthony's knowledge and passion for wellness and fitness not only make sessions with him educational but also very inspiring. One of the things that stood out to me was how Anthony crafted a routine specifically tailored to my needs. It wasn’t a generic plan, but rather a reflection of my fitness level (strengths and weaknesses) and goals. With areas that were problematic or less stable for me, he took extra time to ensure that we were addressing them safely. In addition, Anthony doesn’t just tell you what to do; he educates you. His instructions are clear, thoughtful, and always delivered with the intent of helping me understand. Overall, an extremely positive instructor!

I just started with Anthony last week. Two sessions in and I am hooked. I have not been to a gym or had a personal trainer in 20+ years, so I was very nervous about it considering that I am fairly unfit. I've partnered up with Anthony D’Andrea as my trainer and it's been nothing short of amazing. In two sessions, Anthony took the time to get to know me, hear about my goals, and then he met me where I am currently at with fitness. I know he will push me, but he delivers it in such an encouraging and positive way, it honestly feels like I just have a friend cheering me on from the sidelines. Anthony should be super proud. Highly recommended and ready to keep booking sessions.
