A Personal Journey

At the age of eighteen, Andrea was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent a complete thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment. Following her surgery, Andrea was challenged with a new, sluggish metabolism, and weight gain. It was through her own personal struggles to regain her previous energy level and physique that Andrea decided to become a personal trainer.

Andrea was the PFP/Club Industry 2019 Personal Trainer of the Year. Since 1992 Andrea has been certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), as a Personal Trainer by The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and the American Council on Exercise (ACE), as a Special Populations Expert by The Cooper Institute.

Andrea is a 36 year cancer survivor and has/had 23 first-degree relatives diagnosed with cancer. In 2015, she lost her father, Morton, to complications of bladder cancer and prostate cancer, and myelodysplastic syndrome. Her mother is currently fighting stage 4 metastatic breast cancer after a 23-year remission.

Andrea has written 15 books on the subject of cancer and exercise and is a sought after speaker and author.

The Cancer Exercise Training Institute is considered the gold-standard of education in oncology exercise and has trained more individuals than any other organization in the world.

Testimonials

"…I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to be a part of what you are doing in the cancer world. I have, to-date, received 21 referrals and can't believe the impact we can have on someone’s life…After 24 years in the fitness industry, I once again feel as I am making a difference in my clients lives. It's so empowering to work with people that do NOT take everyday for granted and are motivated to improve every aspect of their remaining time. As selfish as this may sound, I feel that I am getting as much if not more out of this than my clients."

   Certified Personal Trainer

"…Your course has been invaluable to me. I am currently working with a client that about five years ago had a bilateral TRAM. Her surgeon basically told her she could not do any type of exercise. She is making strides now and is not as fearful about doing the exercise protocol that I learned from your course."

   Personal Trainer

"…As a speech therapist I was really taking this class for my own knowledge regarding lymphedema and exercise; as I see head and neck cancer patients…Your class was very informative and I learned a lot… I really think it helped a lot of nurses and trainers realize that exercise is so important for cancer patients both possibly prior to, during chemo radiation (at least for our head and neck patients)…"
