“I’ve been working out with Drea for the last 2 months, and I am LOVING IT. I started out when I was 16 weeks pregnant. I was looking for someone who understood a pregnant woman’s body that could guide me through working out with a human growing inside me! Drea is funny, patient, dedicated and every workout for me is different and I love that about working out with Drea. She listens, really listens to what I have to say about my body, and our workouts always feel perfectly tailored for my needs. When I’m doing the reps, she’s right next to me counting and cheering me on. This is very different than my previous experience with other personal trainers (they would often walk off and leave me to what I’m doing alone). Working out with Drea has brought me my energy back. I was dealing with some tailbone pains and shoulder pains, Drea taught me very specific moves to work the pains out and they are so effective every single time!! I am around 20 weeks now, and I definitely plan on working out with Drea for the remainder of my pregnancy. If you are looking for a trainer that REALLY knows what she’s doing (I mean just look at her...no, she really does look like that in person!) and is fun and just charming to be around, Drea is your girl!”
“Andrea is outstanding! I’ve been working with her for a year now, and you couldn’t ask for a better trainer and life coach. She is always so positive and has so much energy and enthusiasm, it’s contagious. She makes the workouts fun, and varied. She has a plan, every time I go in, targeting different muscle groups, so by the end of the week, we’ve managed to make everything sore. Just kidding. Sorta. She also has excellent suggestions for dealing with the soreness, and when I actually follow through with her suggestions, it’s much better. Same thing with meals and food choices; I’m like everyone, need to lose a few pounds, but have some go-to favorites that are hard to pass up. Drea has worked with me, giving some very good alternates that I surprisingly enjoy just as much, which are healthier and lower calories, so I’ve managed to lose a few pounds. I’m continuing my training with her, she has made a remarkable difference in my life.”
“I love Drea! I hired her from 2013-2014 and again from 2017 to present, including at her new (and totally awesome) gym. Andrea pushes me to achieve way more than I think I can—physically and mentally. There are times when she asks me to do an exercise and I’m like “I don’t think I’m tough enough, but Drea’s the expert so I’ll trust her and give it a shot.” Again and again, I find myself exceeding my goals, pushing my limits, and getting stronger. I appreciate Drea’s 20 years of knowledge and experience. She’s helped me lose weight twice (my bad on gaining it back without her) but also switched gears when I started running to a program that would support my half and full marathon goals. She’s as good at addressing obesity as she is at training for performance. I love her new gym because it attracts all kinds of people who share a positive and encouraging attitude toward life and fitness. The equipment is awesome because I can do just a 20-30 minute workout and still feel sore for days. Highly recommend!”
“Drea is by far the BEST personal trainer you could ever ask for. Not only does she motivate you in your fitness journey, but she motivates you in your life journey. Not only a great trainer, but I now consider her a great friend! I was one of those really awkward gym goers, but with Drea I don’t feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. She makes sure to cultivate a welcoming and non-judgmental environment, as well as making sure you learn correct form. In just the few months I’ve been with her, she has greatly helped me get stronger, more confident, and has me well on my way to accomplishing my fitness goals.”
“I’ve been working out with Andrea for a couple months now, and she is absolutely amazing! She’s there for you every step of the way, cheering you on, encouraging you when you feel like giving up. She takes time to get to know you and your goals. Andrea very supportive, upbeat and real with you, it makes for a great experience with every work out. She documents every single work out, so you can easily track your progress. The gym atmosphere is like no other. I feel so welcome and absolutely no judgment when i am there. I couldn’t think of anyone better then this girl! She can be tough, but man she has a heart of gold. She puts everything she has in to each and every person. She’s not just my personal trainer, shes an amazing friend. She’s an answer to my prayers. I highly HIGHLY recommend Body By Drea!”
“Andrea has been my personal trainer for a few years. Her energy, personality, and knowledge really help me during my pregnancy. I worked out until the day before my baby was born; and, within a couple of months I had my body back. She pushes clients to the next level. She truly cares about her clients’ goals and is extremely passionate about achieving results. I truly recommend her. You will have fun, feel motivated, and surely achieve your fitness goals.”
“I have been working out with Drea for a year now. I have worked out with several different Trainers in the past and honestly I have never seen the results that I am seeing with Drea. She is the real deal when it comes to personal trainers. She is extremely committed to her clients and takes the time to know and understand each clients needs and goals by customizing her training techniques to suit the needs of her clients. She emphasis greatly on form and safety which if you know anything about working out, that is paramount. I have loved working out with Drea and am thankful for all of her help and guidance through my journey of health and fitness. I highly recommend!!!”
“I started working out with Drea when I was a couple months pregnant with my last child, and I loved her energy and her style of training! I felt like the specific exercises she was instructing me to do was perfect for prepping me to a successful delivery while strengthening my muscles and building my endurance! she’s made the whole experience so much fun and enjoyable (lol who knew exercising while pregnant would be enjoyable) . She will definitely inspire you if you let her and is an expert of her craft! so I would recommend her to anyone that I know who is looking for a trainer who knows their stuff because miss Drea got it going on!!!! love ya girl!!”
“I have been training with Drea for several months now and I highly recommend her! I came to her because I wanted to transition from everyday cardio that I was doing on my own to weight lifting. I had no idea about form and didn’t want to injure myself. She has been so helpful and motivating. When I came to her- I was dealing with some joint pain and she has helped me through it - listening to my body and adjusting as needed. Our workouts are always varied and keep me motivated. She is personable and sincerely cares about her clients. I am new to the area and feel lucky that I was able to connect with the right trainer!”
“Andrea is a fantastic trainer. She’s been working with me for several months and I’ve definitely seen results. I feel stronger, my clothes fit better and my conditioning has improved immensely. Andrea pushes me when I want to quit and motivates me in a positive manner. She customizes my workouts so I can see the best results. She is a genuine person and I highly recommend her.”
"She's compassionate and intense."
I've been working with Andrea for several years now—she's amazing, and is the one trainer (of many) who I will use time and time again. I originally hired her to get in shape for my wedding, but have continued to use her for pre- and post-pregnancy training, etc. She's a woman who knows how to get you results! She's compassionate and intense at the same time, with dedication to keeping you on track! If you're wanting to get in shape for a special event, you're wanting to break free of a stagnant lifestyle, or you're wanting to lose some serious weight, Andrea is your girl! She works with all types of clients, and you can't help but love her one-of-a-kind personality, too!

"She helped me believe in myself."
Getting back in shape is tough, finding a great trainer you can connect with can be impossible. Andrea is the real deal. A mother of 5. She's got the experience and dedication to know how to get you pain free and in the best shape of your life. She helped me on so many levels it's hard to put into words. For me, it was refreshing to have someone who's a mom, works, and takes care of herself. No excuses with Andrea. You're not too old, too busy, too far gone to get it back. She is tough but patient. Good results don't happen over night. She helped me believe in myself and she turned my fear into strength. As I got in shape, I became more confident and my stress of managing my family became easier. I lost 35lbs over the course of 5 months and gained a truly amazing friend. I learned how to incorporate exercises and stretches at home. And then every workout with Andrea was custom. She made me do sprints with my baby stroller and then hit the ropes. Would I do that on my own, no way! Was it an amazing workout, yes. And my toddler was laughing and having fun. I can't thank her enough. And some things are too personal to write but she deserves accolades. She loves what she does and it shows.

"She is my cheerleader."
I have been working out with Drea for about one year now, although I have known her much longer. She documents our workouts in a little book which I keep with me so I can make selections for the times I work out on my own. She understands my body and tailors our workouts to my capabilities and we continue to strive for new goals and work on my weaknesses. She is my cheerleader and we celebrate together when a new milestone is reached. If I am out of gas, she encourages me to finish when I may think I can't. I have become much stronger and more confident in myself since Drea has been my trainer. Plus, she is a wonderful, caring person and we have a lot of fun together.

"My speed on the treadmill has tripled!"
I have been working out with Drea for a few months now. It all started when I realized that I was too tired to walk up the stairs in my little house. I called Andrea up and asked her to please help me. She is amazing. She easily figured out what I needed and how far to push me. My speed on the treadmill has seriously tripled! A few days ago I hurt my back at work. I was upset about the pain, but what I really was sad about, was I thought that I would not be able to work with Drea for a few weeks. Not the case! Andrea put together a package that keeps me moving and stretching without injuring myself further.

“What a difference working out with a trainer like Andrea makes to achieving your goals. With a knee surgery that went awry, Andrea had the knowledge and patience with me in strengthening and stretching to near perfection. She can be tough, but your energy level and fitness level will thank you for it. She is a kind and a very thorough trainer...Well worth a visit to find out for yourself. If there was a “10” to give on Yelp, Andrea would get it.”
“Andrea is amazing, I don’t know what I would do without her. She gives me the strength, motivation and extra push I need. She is so good about teaching you the right way to work out and what form to use on each machine. If you are looking for a awesome strategic new way of life and way to work out she is your gal. She has so much patience and experience it’s unreal. I would honestly recommend her for any body type. She knows exactly what is best for each individual. I was 230lbs after my first baby, I gained almost 100lbs, with her love and support I am 170lbs almost to my goal weight of 150. She is honestly a god sent! You will not be disappointed. (she has 4 kids, so she knows what excursuses work for us mom and our mommy pouches) Thanks Andrea, I luv you!!”
“Andrea doesn’t really fit into the “Personal Trainer” category. I’ve worked with some of those folks. Even if there was a Master’s degree in Kinesiology, they seemed limited in what they can do for you by comparison. Andrea doesn’t just make you stronger or you look better. She can take a knee that doesn’t work very well and a shoulder that never really recovered from surgery (six years ago!) and make them better. Waaaay better. Fitness isn’t just what you look like. It’s deeper, more involved. Andrea knows how to make you fit, strong, flexible. She knows how to get your body to do a great job for you. She’s a personal trainer, physical therapist, yoga guru, Pilates instructor...I’m probably leaving a few things out...all rolled into one.”
“Best of the Best workouts Ever! Creative, Challenging, Effective. The point-by-point detailed attention from Andrea has helped me maintain a steady improvement in my overall fitness. I’m looking forward to another great year training with The Best. Thanks Andrea:-)”
“I really enjoy working out with Andrea and have gotten results with the excercises and routines she’s designed for me. With her academic background, she really understands the body, muscles, bones and what specific types of exercises you should be doing to target the areas you want to tone and improve upon. When we’re working out, she makes it fun, motivates me and makes me feel like I can do and accomplish anything. She’s by far the best trainer I’ve worked with and I highly recommend her.”
