He is the designer of the FitSpan Protocol — a performance-based approach to fitness centered on functional power, movement quality, and long-term adherence — and the author of Racing Yesterday (his account of training for the US Olympic Trials after age 40) and The Exercise Prescription (on the medicinal benefits of exercise). A World Champion and multi-time national champion rower, Andy has worked with everyone from elite athletes to individuals managing chronic conditions, orthopedic limitations, and age-related functional decline.
