helping through movement
My fitness journey started with a simple goal: to feel more confident in my own skin and take better care of my body. Over time, fitness became much more than exercise;
it became a tool for building discipline, resilience, and
a stronger relationship with myself.
That journey led me to SWEAT DC, where I started as a member and quickly fell in love with the energy and sense of community. From there, I became an Ambassador, helping members feel welcomed and supported, before stepping into the role of manager at their Parkview location. Through those experiences, I learned that the most powerful transformations aren't just physical. They come from consistency, connection, and believing you're capable of more than you think.
Inspired to make a greater impact, I earned my NASM Certified Personal Trainer certification and began coaching. My goal is to help people build strength, confidence, and healthy habits while creating a supportive environment where they feel comfortable challenging themselves and growing both physically and mentally.
Today, I continue coaching because I believe fitness has the power to change lives; not by creating perfect bodies, but by helping people become stronger, more confident versions of themselves.

TESTIMONIALS
He is so kind and empowering, and did a great job with accommodating our different fitness needs. I was intimidated at first, but by the end I felt proud and strong. I like his energy.
Andres is great! He's very kind and welcoming. He makes everyone feel comfortable and like they belong. He gave me so many different modifications for my hurt ankle and ran all over the place spotting everyone in the class like superman! He also gave everyone tips on making sure your bench press form is perfect.
I love taking classes with Andres. He remembers what I struggle with, what comes easy to me, and how I've succeeded in the past. As a result, he really tailors the workouts to challenge me specifically. Andres is a ray of sunshine!
I'm always happy to get up in the morning for a class with Andres. He strikes a great balance of calm and enthusiasm, creating great energy in the room. Love his music selection. Also really appreciate the calm clear way he teaches and coaches on technique, particularly in this first week of the month when everything is new.
One of the best classes I have been to in a while! accessible and personable coaching. I'm delighted to see Andres back on the schedule.
Killer playlist, Awesome 1:1 coaching, and overall great vibes
Andres is great! Very welcoming and incredibly encouraging - it's easy to see why everyone in the class is happy in his classes!
