Andrew Schaeffer

Treasurer

Andrew has been a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach in New York City for over ten years. He ran track and cross country throughout high school and college and, after living abroad for several years after college, he fell in love with teaching. His experiences as an athlete and teacher informs his approach to health and fitness coaching, which is focused on educating as much as delivering a workout.

​

As a coach, Andrew specializes in strength training, Olympic weightlifting, and the roots of behavior change, with a particular interest in the role that systems—such as culture and society—play in health. Fitness does not happen in a vacuum; it’s part of an amazingly interconnected system of personal, social, and environmental conditions. The more we look at all of it together, the greater the impact we can make.

​

Besides working with individuals in the gym, Andrew can be found delivering strength and conditioning programs to professional performers, presenting at conferences, or with his head in a book, pursuing a master’s degree in mental health counseling.
