Just over a year ago I started on a fitness journey to better myself. Andre (No holds barred fitness) has delivered nothing but results for me. When I feel like I can’t grind it out he pushes me to get results. I am moving weight never thought I could move! I can’t wait to see what this year’s results will be. More...

So we had a meet today and I didn't have anyone to wrap my knees for squats. Andre (even though he had athletes competing) went out of his way to help me and wrap me up. Because if him I was able to get a new personal record on squat! I could not be more greatdul! On a different note all of his athletes consistently preform at a very high level in the gym and in competions. Andre obviously knows what he is doing and I highly recommend him as a coach. More...
