Coach Spotlight: Andrew

Is it even 4:30 if Andy isn't there?

Honestly, we're not sure. 😂

Andy is basically the unofficial mayor, lifeblood, and attendance coordinator of the 4:30 class. If he's not coaching or working out, we're pretty sure half the class just assumes there's no workout that day.

But in all seriousness, we absolutely love having Andy on our coaching team.

After spending most of his life playing and coaching soccer at a high level, it's been pretty damn cool watching him find a new competitive outlet in CrossFit and throw himself into an entirely different sport. He brings that same competitive drive, work ethic, and team mentality with him every time he walks through the door.

Andy shows up prepared. He knows what he's coaching, he pays attention to the details, and he's really good at meeting people where they're at. He's also no stranger to modifying movements, managing injuries, and figuring out how to train when your body isn't exactly cooperating. Basically, he's been through enough back pain and questionable life choices to know a thing or two. 😂

His coaching philosophy is simple: move well, be consistent, work hard, and don't be an idiot about it. Sustainable intensity > blowing yourself up for one workout.

He's got his CrossFit Level 1 and HYROX Foundations training, and he's always looking for ways to get better himself — whether that's chasing a handstand walk, throwing down in a workout, or finding someone in the gym he can compete against.

Outside the gym, Andy is a dad of three mostly grown boys, spends his time mountain biking, watching sports, and cheering his kids on in soccer and rowing.

Favourite movements? Box jump overs and bar muscle-ups.

Least favourite? Wall balls and thrusters.

Coffee? Black. With a scone. Raisins are non-negotiable.

We're pretty lucky to have this guy around. He's competitive, prepared, dependable, and always willing to push you a little harder — while somehow making you feel like you're part of the team the whole time.

And if you're looking for Andy at the gym, your best bet is probably 4:30. 😂

That 9 a.m. HYROX class was an absolute banger today. 🔥

30 minutes. One big EMOM. Station after station. Just enough work to keep the heart rate up and the legs burning.

Whether you’re training for your next HYROX race or just looking to build a bigger engine, this class delivers. It’s the perfect complement to CrossFit, giving you a chance to get in some longer sustained work and mix things up throughout the week.

The crew brought the energy today, and it showed. 👊 Big turnout. Big effort. Big vibes.

If you haven’t jumped into a HYROX class yet, what are you waiting for? Come see what all the hype is about.

🎉 100 classes and counting! 🎉
