About Andy
Andy grew up playing as many sports as he could, from Gaelic football and hurling, to soccer and Rugby, then moved on to compete in powerlifting. He joined the Irish Defence Force, but during his time in the Army he realised he wanted to turn his passion for sport into a career, and after studying fitness, began working part time as a PT.
Since moving to Sydney in 2019, he’s turned coaching into his full-time career. His passion is working with people from all walks of life to help them improve their lifestyle through health and fitness. He aims to show people that it’s not hard to achieve results in the gym and that you can have fun doing it.

Training Philosophy
My aim as a coach is to help people reach their full potential and, regardless of what your goals are, show you that it’s the basics that will get you there – they are the basics for a reason. Training isn’t hard, nor is it easy. All you need is the right environment, some helpful direction and the willingness to do the work, and you will get where you want to go.
Education, Experience & Achievements
- Certificates III & IV in Fitness
- Advanced Kettlebell Coach
- 2015 GPC Irish Open Best Junior Lifter

PT Clients Reviews
Hugh
"Andy is an awesome PT and has done an incredible job with me. He’s helped me turn my life around – helping me lose weight, gain muscle, and build confidence. He puts in lots of effort preparing interesting and challenging programs that push me towards my goals. He has great technical knowledge, focusing on ensuring I using correct technique to maximise my progress while preventing injury. He also is a really nice and fun guy, it’s a pleasure to train with him. I strongly recommend Andy as a coach."
Christian
"For someone who’s shy and working on his self-confidence, Andy is the perfect coach. Kind and genuinely interested in helping, he is instrumental to my personal development. He’s empowered me to work hard for my goals and has successfully built up my determination to improve week after week. He’s the one person I trust to help me better both my physical and mental wellness. I look forward to my sessions with Andy because I know I’m going to feel better no matter how bad my day was going! You can’t ask for a better coach. This guy will change your life for the better."
Emily
"I’ve done some personal training in the past and recently have been struggling to remain motivated by my self-directed training. I was moaning about this to a mate and they recommended Andy. Andy is a delight to work with. He takes a fully customised approach to training. We began by speaking about my preferences (what I want to achieve, how I like to learn and train, any historic injuries or issues) and testing where I was at.
He explains in clear and fun ways why we’re doing particular exercises and how they contribute to my goals. I have a lot of faith in his knowledge and his suggestions. I know my form is better than it has ever been, and I’m able to apply the recommendations he makes even when he’s not there to double check my form. We’ve recently done a review of how I’m progressing and re-setting some goals and plans, which I love as it’s helping to keep me motivated and progressing."
