Andy,
I want to tell people in the Kingwood and surrounding area what an amazing difference you made in helping me strengthen my back muscles and improve my overall level of fitness. My in-home routine exercises were just not getting the job done after I moved into my early 60’s.
As a Registered/Licensed Dietitian, I always knew how we would be losing muscle mass as we age, but I didn’t think it would happen to ‘me’!
My favorite hobby is working in the garden and yard, so you helped me get back to what I love doing without suffering . We are fortunateto have you and your ‘no nonsense’ approach to targeting problem areas and working around old injuries. I highly recommend your personal training program to anyone interested in strength training and achieving a higher level of fitness.
I enjoyed the way my program was conducted one on one, individualized, and supervised (every move). Your style was encouraging and motivating, and your amount of incredible knowledge and training style is the best anywhere.
Many, many thanks!

I have been personal training with Andy at Kingwood Strength & Conditioning since early November 2011. My primary reason for seeking out a personal trainer was to lose some weight and be in better shape overall.
Since beginning my training, I have so much more energy and for the first time ever, have gained lots of lean muscle!
I lost 5 pounds of body fat in the first month by working with Andy approximately 3 times a week and following a diet he designed for me.
Andy helps me attain the goals that he has set for me and that I have set for myself by pushing me to a healthy rigorous workout that he individually tailors for me at each visit.

“Kingwood Strength and Conditioning has been a lifesaver! I can safely say that I have a completely new life because of the personal training with Andy. It is a way of training that is very simple in concept but very effective. I have been doing training for an entire year and the results are obvious. As of the end of the year, I have lost 57lbs and am down to a size 14 from a size 22. If I can do this, anyone can! I am now a runner, which is amazing since I hadn’t run an inch before in my life! I would definitely recommend Kingwood Strength & Conditioning and Andy if you want to change your body and your way of thinking when it comes to your health.
Brian Burnham, Age 43
“At 43, I had tried all the diets, joined all the gyms, and bought all the exercise gadgets. None helped me achieve the success I was looking for. As an ex-athlete in several sports, I thought I could just summon up the discipline and effort needed. Boy, was I wrong!
Then a friend told me about Andy Baker at Kingwood Strength and Conditioning. I visited with Andy and knew right away he could help me. I started going 2 days a week in February ‘08 and plan to bump up to 3 days a week this year. Let me tell you my thoughts on using a personal trainer, in particular working with Andy:
1)Gyms, diets, and exercise gadgets aren’t going to do the work for you. Andy can show you proper form, coordinate a workout regimen that is customized to your needs, and push you harder than you would push yourself, ensuring that you will get exactly what you need out of your workout.
2)Andy can also help with the right nutrition. He believes in a healthy eating plan that will make you feel better and lose fat.
3)You have to have support. A fitness program demands determination and consistency. Don’t try to go it alone and fail. Andy will support you and help you accomplish the goals you are shooting for.
My starting weight was 215. I’m now at 190 on my way to 175. I’m going to accomplish my goals. Good luck!”

“With 3 kids and a crazy schedule, I tried everything from gyms to yoga to marathon training searching for a way to get in shape. Working out at Kingwood Strength and Conditioning has finally given me the tools and personal attention I needed to see real results. I am stronger, faster and more coordinated. I have more energy to keep up with my kids and now challenge them to races at the park instead of sitting on the bench. Andy has been attentive and tailored every work out to challenge me both mentally and physically. I would never push myself as hard as he pushes me. It’s been amazing to have my family and friends compliment my hard work and dedication, I would recommend this personal training program to anyone wanting to finally see the results they have long desired.”
Owen Sand, 31, Police Officer
“I worked out on my own for several years before starting at Kingwood Strength & Conditioning. Within four months of starting the personal training program at KSC, I achieved what I couldn’t in four years working out on my own. I’ve lost weight and I’m in great physical shape. I’m the kind of person that needs structure and motivation, and KSC has definitely provided both.”
Rick Johnson, 62, Recreational Golfer
I am 62 years old and I am now stronger and more flexible, have more energy and my clothes are looser. Andy has kept my enthusiasm up and I look forward to my training each week.
Edward Weaver, 23, Firefighter
“As a firefighter, my job demands that I be in great shape all year long. I came to Kingwood Strength & Conditioning because I knew my fitness levels weren’t what they needed to be. I was in great shape when I graduated from the Academy, but since that point I kind of let myself go. While working out at KSC I’ve gotten stronger, increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, and increased my flexibility, reducing my risk of injury on the job. Since I started training with Andy, I gained 13 lbs of lean muscle mass while reducing my body fat by 5%. In addition we’ve increased the weight we use on squats by over 100 lbs. I would recommend KSC’s personal training programs to anyone looking to dramatically improve their levels of fitness.”
Frank Rosie, Age 55, Attorney, Golfer
“I worked out a lot when I was younger but around age 45 I ceased to be very active and gained alot of weight, got out of shape, and lost all my energy. In October 2007, I began working out with Andy after developing some neck and back issues on top of the fact that I was overweight.
Since October 2007 I have lost an incredible amount of bodyfat, gained alot of lean muscle, reduced my waistline, feel stronger, and have more energy.
On just a two times per week program, I have noticed a change in muscular definition, increased flexibility, and I have a sense of accomplishment after each session.
Each workout is extremely challenging but fun. While there are staple exercises that we always work on, the routine changes almost every session, which keeps the workouts from getting stale. I have enjoyed the wide variety of strength and conditioning tools for both strength training and cardiovascular training.
The results that I have seen and continue to see, as well as the dynamic nature of the training sessions, have made it easy for me to make my workouts part of my weekly routine.”
Philippe Cras, 53, Owner of Homewood Suites
“Andy, thanks for what you do for us. I have enjoyed every session and find myself always looking forward to the next one. I began with two sessions but have since upgraded to three sessions per week, because I enjoy the workouts so much.
Although I had been working with a personal trainer at another location for five years, Kingwood Strength & Conditioning’s services are a big improvement over what I thought was perfect. I especially enjoy the “surprise effect”. I never know ahead of time what will be the ”workout of the day.” The exercise sessions are short and intense. That makes sense to me. Andy is always there to communicate why we do the exercises we do and why we do them the way we do them. Sometimes after the session, I hang around a little to do some things on my own. I feel safe doing those under professional supervision.
Andy’s advice on food and diet has been very beneficial to me as well. My improvement has been incredible this last year. I would refer anybody to Kingwood Strength & Conditioning for the best personal training in Kingwood.”
