Andy Shin Fitness - Irvine, California

Danni CM

I first started working with Andy in 2020 when he was based in Arlington, Virginia. It was my first time getting a personal trainer and I was nervous about lifting weights. He was great with teaching me how to have good form and set great long-term habits for my fitness journey. His app workouts are really great to supplement during the week outside our 2x per week 30 min sessions. You may think 30 min does not feel like a lot for a session. Trust me, with Andy, he really maximized every minute of each session! I was really sad when he moved to California because I knew I couldn't find another trainer like him again.

Fast forward to 2024, I ended up moving to Southern California. I was getting ready for my wedding and was also recovering from several injuries which made it difficult to get back to exercising intensely. I had to drive a bit to get to him in Irvine, but I knew it would be totally worth the drive and the money. Andy was great at encouraging me to push myself more because he saw I was ready. He was especially good about adapting my training when I physically couldn't do certain exercises because of an injury. Training with Andy helped me re-establish a good fitness routine and feel confident to workout again. I am really grateful I got to work with Andy in both Arlington and Irvine. I highly recommend him as a trainer if you're looking for someone to help you establish healthy habits and gain confidence in your fitness journey!

Andy is a great trainer! He is very knowledge about fitness and has been instrumental in helping me stay healthy during my pregnancy! I’m grateful for his undivided attention during each of our sessions and the level of caution he takes to make sure my workouts are safe for me as I get further along in the pregnancy. He makes great use of time and is very creative in his workouts. Highly recommend giving him a chance!

I started training with Andy in February 2024, and since then, I have seen rapid and immediate progress. I slimmed down and was able to tone my muscles before my wedding, but that was just the beginning of a lifelong fitness journey. Now, my husband and I enjoy partner training with Andy - every session is a blast, and even though it’s always hard work, we’re always laughing together and having a fun time.

Andy is super attuned to your goals and knows exactly when you need a push - he’ll encourage you to lift even heavier than you imagined, work harder than you think you can, and squeeze in one more rep. He also makes the gym a lot more approachable and less intimidating. He will always remind you to keep good form as safety is key. More than anything, Andy holds us accountable to our goals and we can’t wait to keep working with him to become our fittest selves!!

Andy has been a life saver! I started training with Andy at my heaviest and lowest point, I never once felt judged or uncomfortable. He's always positive, incredibly supportive and makes a HUGE difference! I'm wearing clothes that were previously way too small and I'm just overall so much happier with not only how I look but how I feel. I feel healthy and stronger than I've ever been! I can't recommend Andy enough!

I have been working out with Andy for the past 6 months and it has impacted my life in such a positive way. Andy is an amazing trainer that takes the time to truly understand where you're at and where you would like to be. After working out inconsistently in the past, I was looking for workouts that were personalized to my capabilities yet challenged me in the best way possible. From day one, Andy understood my goals and has since worked with me every single week, pushing me to be the best version of myself. Andy has built my confidence in the gym and supported me throughout every single workout. I feel stronger, healthier, and more motivated than I ever have before. He is the best and I cannot recommend him enough!

I've been working with Andy for the last four months after searching online for a trainer focused on education and injury prevention. In the past, my experience with fitness was following YouTube videos, HIIT programs on an app, or bootcamp. However, I consider myself to be a total beginner in the gym and wanted to have a better understanding of weightlifting and functional fitness, while ensuring proper form.

During our first meeting, we talked through my goals, his approach, and his plan for our sessions. Since then, he's created a plan for me that has helped build up my strength and confidence in the gym. I look forward to working with him every week. Each 30 minute session goes by so quickly - his energy is infectious and fools me into believing in myself more. When I hurt my hip from running, he adapted our workouts and gave me some exercises to help strengthen my hip flexors and release my IT band - I was even able to run my first half marathon! On days when I'm not training with Andy, he provides assignments based on my available equipment - either at the apartment gym which is very well stocked, or a minimal hotel gym. If I have any questions about a workout or diet, he's incredibly responsive throughout the week.

I'm so grateful to have met Andy and to be able to work with him. He's incredibly motivating, genuine, earnest, and methodical in his approach, while keeping it fun. I highly recommend calling Andy if you're looking for a knowledgeable trainer who will work hard alongside you.

Andy is an outstanding trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable about all areas of fitness, and prepares targeted workouts suitable to each of his client’s relative goals. I have a history of back problems, and Andy has been able to modify workouts to avoid further problems while strengthening the key muscle groups to help alleviate these problems. I would recommend him to anyone interested in working hard to improve their fitness.

I've been working with Andy for a few months now. After taking a year off from working out due to health reasons, I was looking for a personal trainer who could help me get back into a routine and tailor my workout around some of my physical limitations. I ended up choosing Andy because of how positive, personable, and knowledgeable he is.

I currently work out with him twice a week and then fill in the other days with the workouts from his app. I really enjoy how efficient our workouts are. It's never boring, always different, and I can feel how much stronger I'm becoming. Highly recommend working with him!
