Hello there! I'm Andrew, founder of Resilient Beings. Thank you for visiting my website to learn more about how I can help you thrive in body and mind.

After years of chronic back pain from a stressful work/life balance and unhealthy habits, I wasn't in the best shape, physically or mentally. My body was sending me a massive signal to change. Fortunately, I discovered two passions - adventure in the outdoors and sustainable movement - that transformed my life in ways I never imagined possible.

Now, as a certified Personal Trainer and Movement Coach, based in the beautiful town of Chirk, I want to share the skills I have attained, and the lessons I have learned by helping you. Wherever you're starting from, whether injury recovery, higher fitness goals, or just beginning to exercise and get moving again, I would be honoured to be your guide.

Personal Training and Movement: My personalized approach takes your whole being into consideration - body, mind and spirit. Together we'll create a health and wellness plan tailored to your unique needs and abilities. Sometimes our minds limit us more than our bodies, so I will support you in working through any mental blocks with compassion.

My goal is to help you thrive in a sustainable way, avoiding the "no pain, no gain" mentality. With support and by identifying small wins quickly, we can make a big difference in your physical and mental wellbeing over the long term.

I'd love to learn more about your health journey and how I can help.

I offer two training packages which can be found on my Movement page here:

Andrew is an excellent personal trainer with a strong focus on technique. He takes the time to get to you know and make you feel at ease. Andrew tailors each session to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend Andrew as a PT, especially for anyone who has a particular sporting love that they want to support with balanced and thoughtful training sessions.

The recent years of training have led to injuries for which I have been suffering with for some time which equally was leading to bad movement habits, and found that I wanted to shift a little focus on more specific technique and movement, which is why I was drawn to Andrew. To relearn technique and to be more conscious of how I moved for day to day benefit and also to improve movement during training with injury prevention in mind.

I started seeing Andrew due to experiencing lower back pain. After just a handful of sessions, I am already feeling the benefit of his experience. He has been most informative and has a wealth of knowledge. I feel both my fitness levels and mobility have improved. Along with the sessions, he put a plan in place to enable me to carry out regular exercise away from the sessions to ensure my mobility continues to improve.
