I was an athlete when I was young, and while I trained all my life, my body weight was healthy, and I had a decent running and weightlifting routine…. I was feeling something was missing in my training and diet above all considering my experience on sprinting/jumping was not directly useful for running longer distances (above all managing intensity, I was going too hard too often) . Andre helped me understand how important training in Zone 2 is while providing dietary pointers that helped me losing the 3Kg I wanted to trim

I worked with Andre for 3 months initially prior to travelling to a Swim Camp in Thailand in 2019. I wanted to lose a few stubborn pounds that I thought I could lose simply by exercising more. Andre and I worked on a Low Carb approach to nutrition that saw me lose those pounds with ease. I learnt how to change what and how I ate to reduce my carbs and at the same time I increased me swimming and weight training, which was the opposite of what I had thought would work.

Andre and I would meet every week using zoom and we would talk about my goals, my habits and he would monitor during the week and send me information and check in on me as required to help me stay on track especially during my pre COVID business travel. The things I have learnt have stuck with me to this day in 2021. If you want an experienced coach that works with you on what you want to change then I recommend Andre

After witnessing amazing results of a friend, I contacted Andre to help me with how best I can prepare myself to run well into my senior years.  I ran my first Marathon at age 60 and was fortunate enough to tackle that distance for four consecutive years.  Then the pandemic arrived!  

 I was excited and happy after our initial meeting where we discussed building an aerobic base, low heart rate running using the Maximum Aerobic Function (MAF) method, the importance of rest and recovery, injury prevention and switching from using sugars to using fats for fuel.  I didn’t realise how many carbohydrates I was eating. I now understand these carbohydrates were essentially just sugar. I soon noticed the difference of feeling good and strong at the end of a long run and this was very much welcomed.

2021 saw most events I was signed up for cancelled.  However, the Great Ocean Road Running Festival went ahead.  I ran a good race in the 14km event following Andre’s tailored program.

Andre provided great support during my six-month journey with him via our fortnightly meetings, providing an abundance of resources, podcasts and recipes to name a few.  You name it, he had it!

Low heart rate running takes time and lots of patience to master.  While I have made improvement, I know this can further improve and I continue to incorporate two MAF runs per week in my training.

I started working with Andre almost six months ago via recommendation from a family member, and since then I have lost just a bit over 20kg. Before the program, my understanding of nutrition, sleep, exercise and overall health was skewed, which led to an unbalanced lifestyle and subsequent weight issues.

Andre dedicated the first few weeks of the program to re-education and guidance, taking each issue on the table one step at a time so that there was a gradual - but more successful - approach to positive change. Through this approach, I was able to correct the bad habits and implement healthier strategies in order to facilitate better weight loss.

I have not been successful with weight loss in any other program experience to date. What makes Andre different is that he focuses on education, routine and consistency, and hold his clients accountable. Additionally, his knowledge regarding how and why certain foods and activities are successful contributes heavily to understanding how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together to achieve good health overall.

Lastly, I have appreciated Andre's support and guidance throughout the program, which has been one of the most significant factors to my success.

I’ve known Andre for many years, having worked with him professionally in our respective past corporate careers and know him to be someone that was always extremely dedicated in delivering value to his clients.

Over many years I had been trying to lose weight wading through all the ‘expert advice’ and myriad of diets, to no avail. I had recently retired and wanted to be able to enjoy my golden years feeling healthier – and hopefully living to a ripe old age. After following Andre’s LinkedIn articles and comments about weight loss and health, I signed up to one of his free introductory webinars.

This would have to be one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Through my own personal experience based on prior dieting attempts and the supposed ‘expert advice’ I was rapidly coming to the conclusion that the so called experts were WRONG and what Andre said solidified this for me as I believed what he said was right – I had never had someone explain it to me before. It all made complete sense, and I then knew why my previous dieting attempts failed. I signed up to the program then and there. 12 weeks later I have achieved my goal weight losing 10kgs and feeling significantly more alert, sleeping better, my blood pressure is now normal and I’m not hungry and snacking all the time like I was before.

I’m also 100% confident I will keep the weight off based on how I now feel and from what I have learnt. I was most surprised about how easy it was to lose the weight consistently week after week as compared to all other methods I’ve tried in the past – where I was always hungry.

If you are serious about improving your health, and want to feel mentally alert, energetic and just feel good generally, then I would highly recommend that you sit in on one of Andre’s introductory webinars and look into it more. Andre is super committed to supporting you and you can contact him anytime with questions as you go – you won’t regret it.

I was uncomfortable, fatigued and felt generally unwell and decided it was time to make an investment in my health. I signed up for 3 months of health coaching with Andre and am so glad I did.

As a 52-year-old woman I had previously found it extremely difficult to shift excess weight, especially around my middle. During the initial weeks my weight loss was slow, but Andre guided me through these difficult weeks to the point where I wasn’t hungry or craving carbohydrates, sugar, coffee or wine. The weight then just started to steadily drop and continues to.

I am sleeping well without apnoea and get up at dawn naturally most mornings as my body is more in tune with circadian rhythms, excited to go out and paddleboard. I have stopped my antidepressant medication and have lost 6kgs. My clothes are comfortably fitting again, and I feel great!

Andre’s program is not a diet but rather a lifestyle which is easy to continue. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been coached by Andre and for his individual support as well as the knowledge and guidance that he provided to me to help me achieve my health goals. I have learnt a lot and, as a nurse and public health professional, feel that this approach will have broader implications for public health in the future.

I recommend Andre as a health coach to anyone who is committed to taking action to improve their health. Your health is absolutely worth the investment, and I would encourage you to get in touch with him.
