"I started going to Andrew when I was about 10 years old. My family had known Andrew for years and we were always impressed by his patience and devotion when working with his clients. He helped me build a fundamental base of muscle before entering high school. His attention to detail was the key to success in my middle school days. He made sure I was always performing movements correctly and safely before moving up in weight. As I entered high school I was ahead of my peers because of my work with Andrew. Throughout high school, I continued to use Andrew as an asset training on Sundays to get extra work in with balance, strength movements, and mobility. At the end of high school I am confident to say Andrew helped me achieve goals like: 2-time GCL 1st Team (football), 3rd Team All Ohio Defensive Team (football), GCL Defensive Player of the Year (basketball), and most importantly admission into the United States Naval Academy.
Now, being away from Cincinnati I cannot train with Andrew, but I still reach out to him in time of need. Recently, with training for different military screenings, I reached out to Andrew. He delivered, like many times before, and helped me get over a physical rut to once again gain lean muscle while being able to perform on the endurance side as well. I would recommend Andrew to anyone, especially someone who is ready to start a physical, athletic, or mental journey I once started."

"My two sons have trained with Andrew for years, starting at 12 & 13. They both looked forward to the weekly workouts. Andrew based their workouts structured on the sport they were involved in. Andrew is a gentle, kind person which kept both boys motivated. As a parent, I 100 percent trusted my boys were in good hands with Andrew."
-Mary H (mother of Trey and Vinny, 15 and 16)
"Andrew is a fitness expert who gave me the exercise tools I needed to help take care of myself for the rest of my life. Coming in with no workout knowledge at all, Andrew did not judge my poor fitness and became a friend throughout the learning process as I challenged myself day in and day out. Not only did he teach me how to work out, he taught me how to do it efficiently. Andrew taught me how to work out every muscle group in complimentary pairs, how to hit different spots of major muscle groups, and how to always honor sound fundamentals while mixing it up. I would recommend Andrew to anyone interested in better fitness. Whether you just want to learn the basics, build solid muscle mass, or get lean, Andrew has done it all and knows both the theory and the practical aspects of achieving personal fitness goals."
-Alex K, 31
"Both of my children have trained with Andrew. One you can describe as a "jock" the other as timid and shy. Both of my kids loved to train with Andrew and both received training to fit their needs. At first I was concerned about weight training for my 13 and 15 year old. I heard so many stories like, if they lift too early it will stunt their growth and things of that nature. Andrew in the first meeting removed all of the "old wives tales" of weight training. He focuses on form rather than weight. Confidence rather than going through the motions. My children were able to talk about the experiences with me. They were able to talk about what an exercise is building, increasing their knowledge for a lifetime. Andrew is invested in his clients. He remembers what sports or plays my children were in. All things that made my children comfortable with him. Also he was able to provide this for a reasonable cost. Not many times you will have teenagers look at you and tell you what time you need to leave so they do not miss a coaching session. It just shows you how much they love going to him and how much they get out of the experience. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and our family's experience. If you are looking for a responsible, honest trainer for your child, Andrew would be my first choice."
-Chris B (father of Caleb and Grace, 13 and 15)
"I cannot say enough good things about the positive impact Andrew has had on my training. I was always the person that said I could lose weight and get fit on my own. I ate healthy and went to the gym for years, but nothing changed. I was in a rut and training with Andrew was exactly what I needed to get out of that rut and learn new training techniques. Making the decision to work with Andrew has changed everything. I am proof that an old dog can learn new tricks (training strategies). In just a few months, I was able to see weight loss and changes in my conditioning, a real and visible difference in my appearance, and the way my clothes fit etc. You have to put in the work and get the fork out of your mouth but Andrew makes the process fun and is an encouraging and positive force. One of the best decisions I've made for my fitness goals was and is working with Andrew on both my diet and training goals."
-Steve S, 55
"Andrew worked with my son, Charlie, twice a week for 3 months over the summer. Charlie is 8 years old and is a bigger boy. They worked on core strength and the results and confidence my son has gotten is immeasurable. Charlie constantly talks about starting his training again and looks forward to getting going after football. I highly recommend Andrew as a trainer for kids and adults."
-Steve N (father of Charlie, 8)
"Working with Andrew was one of the high points of my fitness career, not only did I get faster and stronger through working with him, but as a person I was much more confident. Andrew was not just a trainer but a friend he is extremely personable and knowledgeable and I've been able to use many of the things he taught me in my lifts when I'm away from home and on my own."
-Brandon E, 19
"Andrew trained me for several months, and I saw my personal best in terms of results (I've trained off and on for over 30 years). His training was tailored to what I wanted to accomplish at that time, which was to get a leaner, more-cut look. He developed a high-intensity program, specific to certain body parts for each workout, and kept the workouts interesting by putting new twists on old exercises (not easy to do when you've trained as long as I have). He also provided a diet plan, complete with foods that fit each criteria of the plan, and I was able to incorporate the vast majority of the plan. The results were great, as i cut about 15 lbs of mostly fat (went from nearly 190 to 175 lbs) in four months, and my wife commented more than once on how lean I looked in my workout gear. I would recommend Andrew's training to anyone, at any stage of their life. He will give you what you need.....the rest is up to you!"
-Ted J, 51
"Andrew is great to work with. He met with me to understand my goals first and tailored our workouts with those goals in mind. He's also a great motivator and I love the close attention to detail and form that he emphasizes to increase strength and prevent injury. After working out with Andrew I feel strong and empowered to handle anything that comes my way that day. He truly carries a great energy and confidence with him, which translates to his clients. I'd highly recommend scheduling a session with Andrew."
-Mike P, 35
"My sons trained with Andrew and they got so much knowledge out of the experience. Training was something they looked forward to because of the rapport they had developed with him. He helped them gain confidence and reach their goals. I would recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an experienced and knowledgeable trainer."
-Andrea (mother of Nate and Ryan, 14 and 12)
"Andrew Mellott is an outstanding Personal Trainer. When you bring him on as your Personal Trainer, your fitness goals become his and your fitness goals, meaning you're a team. When you have a teammate the caliber of Andrew Mellott, one who pushes you beyond the point you believed physically possible, opens your eyes to your abilities and encourages you to take that extra step/rep, that's a teammate that makes all goals achievable. I went to Andrew looking to gain muscle over the summer. He came prepared with a detailed and well thought-out workout plan dedicated to my needs, diet information to use outside of the gym, and much much more. Lastly, when you hire someone for anything you want them to be passionate about their craft and I truly believe Personal Training is Andrew's life passion. He could have been something else, possessing a degree from UC. Personal Training is his calling and he takes pride in his work. You will not regret bringing on Andrew Mellott as a Personal Trainer."
-Zac G, 29
"I have had the pleasure to have worked with Andrew Mellott a personal trainer. I'm a 63 year old male that needed to work on flexible, keeping muscle and staying active to the activities I enjoyed. Andrew is very knowledgeable of different workouts for all age groups. Keeping in mind safety and keeping you from injury. He keeps in mind of what your goals are and will push you to help you achieve those. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to workout to achieve to build muscle, stay active and weight control."
-Paul W, 63
"Andrew was not only my personal trainer, but a personal trainer I have recommended to many people, of all different levels of experience. He did a fantastic job understanding my goals and creating workouts to tailor to those goals. No workout was ever the same and he always had new, innovative exercises that deepened my own knowledge. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is interested in accomplishing their goals. Whether you have been a lifelong gym rat or just starting your first day, Andrew will be a great asset for you."
-Joey W, 25
"There are lots of trainers out in the market but not many are like Mr. Andrew Mellott! Mr Andrew is professional, presentable, passionate, keen in his work, patient in his approach, attentive to your abilities, qualified beyond and has a gym that is fully equipped for his work with any variety of clients. You can tell that he is authentic because all his many qualifications are on full display on the walls of his gym and his appearance tells you all you need to know about his passion for maintaining a good healthy body. I had the pleasure of training with Andrew (even though I assumed I was quite fit) and quickly learned how out of shape I was!! In turn I took with me life changing skills that have completely altered my life for better. Furthermore, it was always fun to hang with this guy and learn as much as I could from him and so I always looked forward to his sessions. To this day I shoot him important health related questions from time to time because I have full trust in his advice and he is always kind enough to keep me informed. I also save his workout videos because they often come in handy. If you are searching for a good workout trainer please give Mr. Andrew Mellott a shot and I promise you a guaranteed life changing experience! Thank you."
-George O, 51
"Training with Andrew was a positive experience all around. He focused on technique and meeting me where I was each session. His approach wasn't intimidating but supportive and educational while still challenging me to take the next step. I significantly improved my overall strength, flexibility and body image during my time with Andrew."
-Bobby S, 33
"Training with Andrew gave me confidence and direction around the gym to workout on my own. His diet plan helped me learn what my body needs to achieve my goals and stay on track. Getting in shape instead of being a shape."
-Ted K, 37
"My favorite part about Andrew as a trainer is we never repeat a workout. Every workout is unique and it keeps you from getting bored. Whether it be a brand new exercise he's researched and tried himself or a twist on a classic, Andrew always keeps the workouts fresh and hitting muscle groups in new ways."
