Andrea grew up playing a variety of sports, and always enjoyed training in a team environment. She coached young Provincial and National level competitive swimmers in her early career before being introduced to the CrossFit methodology in 2010. She loves the results that come with this type of individualized training within a group environment . In 2015, she moved back to her hometown, and started Bracebridge Strength and Conditioning. She wanted to share her passion with the community. Coaching an athlete to get their first pull up, or learn how to safely use a barbell, has been very rewarding. The best reward, however, has been found in the welcoming gym community she helped create.
