Before leaving the Marines Andrew studied to become a Sports Therapist with the Society of Sports Therapists and then taking further specialist courses, working with Runners and with a real focus on Running injuries. As a keen runner and triathlete, he has a real passion for the sport and helping others get the most out of their running and multi-sport racing.

Putting your health & fitness first
Where it all started…
What Andrew
can offer
At Commando Health & Fitness, Andrew can offer a range of skills to help you achieve your health and wellbeing aims:
RunSmart
My RunSmart clinics have become the backbone of my Plymouth based clinics, helping local runners to get faster, more efficiently and most importantly for those presenting with pain, running injury free. The RunSmart sessions are unique and completely rebuild and reshape your approach to running. Find out more about the RunSmart clinics in the therapy section of the site.
Online and in person training
During the recent pandemic, I have also moved into more online programming with my Run and Multi sport athletes, offering fully online or mixed programming, where clients come in on a monthly basis for strength sessions and in clinic sports massage whilst conducting the majority of their training on their own with fully accessible virtual support via zoom.
Fitness Retreats
After building up an absolutely fantastic client base in Plymouth and the surrounding areas, I wanted to create a way of offering them and anyone else with a passion for fitness, a way of doing super focused sessions over a weekend to really drill down into their technique and ability in a close group of likeminded individuals. This is how the fitness retreats were born, with our first weekend taking place last autumn and being a great success. Moving down to Cornwall, I run my Fitness Retreats at the idyllic little hideaway campsite, Fursdon Farm in East Cornwall, find out more on the Fitness Retreats page.

“Andrew, thank you again for your time and expertise. My legs have taken a pounding with my training, you have sorted them out once more. If anyone is looking at Andrew for help and advice I'd highly recommended him.”
