Andrew Stemler:Crossfit London UK

Andrew Stemler

Is 50 years old, and is stupidly passionate about helping you get the best out of your body.

"Cancer killed my mother, depression killed my brother, heart disease and dementia turned my dad into a zombie

Sure death is inevitable, but its how we get there and in what state we arrive that really counts".

Either God is too busy, or she really does want you to help yourself... either way maintaining your health, and your physical prowess and increasing your work capacity is probably down to you. If you are not quite sure how to do that, email me".

Whilst all are welcome, I tend to be better with older clients, after all the gyms are full of cute 20 something, personal trainers . Im quite good at training young athletes, but, to be frank, its a bit boring. So all you young people, I gladly spend a few sessions with you teaching you the olympic lifts or how to handstand or muscle up or how to kip, but for a long term coach, I can probably find you some one better.

But, give me someones who is over 40's , overweight and a type 2 diabetic , now Im getting interested. The funny thing is that I don't spend ages. worrying about weight loss target and illnesses. By focusing on proper exercises with the correct form, and mixing it up, my clients find the magic is both in the range of movement and the range of intensities. Well, put it this way. its interesting varied, you learn stuff and master cool moves. As mad as it sounds, you soon stop worrying about loosing 10 kilos, you start worrying about increasing your deadlift by 10kilos

oh by the way...Im a Crossfit level 2 Certified trainer and have too many fitness and sports qualifications with leading bodies, including the Register of Exercise Professionals, BWLA (the British Weightlifting Association), the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association), the UKKA (the United Kingdom Kettlebell Association), UK Athletics, SABA (Schools Amateur Boxing Association), ABA (Amateur Boxing Association) and a wedge of martial arts certificates.

Im a POSE running coach and hve Crossfit certifications in GymnasticsOlympic weightlifting, kettlebells, Endurance and Kids. I have a degree in Law and Sociology, a post-grad in Property Management and spent 3 years as a doorman in London's East End. I obtained my Crossfit certification in 2005, long before crossfit became the trendy fitness regime it is today.
