Andy Dick

A.C.E. Certified Personal Trainer

Andy Dick is the owner and operator of Optimum Results, a fitness company that provides a full range of health, fitness, and nutritional services in the Moorestown/Mt. Laurel area. Andy is certified through A.C.E. (American Council on Exercise) as a Personal Trainer as well as a Lifestyles and Weight Management Consultant. Andy grew up playing soccer, hockey, and volleyball. He is currently active in local beach volleyball tournaments, visits the gym 5-6 times per week, and enjoys cycling and the occasional long run. This hands-on experience gives him the ability to work with elite athletes, the weekend warrior, or someone who simply wants to look and feel their best.

As a former collegiate athlete, Andy can call on an extensive background in plyometrics, strength training, and cardio fitness training. His current experience has also made him successful in current weight loss techniques. This varied background allows Andy to relate to any client goals by utilizing a mixture of his background.

Andy follows a simple rule. Be as active in as many ways as possible. This variety will allow anyone to better enjoy what they are doing, making it fun, rather than work. Keep in mind that “working out” doesn’t always have to be in the weight room of a gym. Combine this with a healthy eating plan that still allows for fun foods, and your goals can be realized. The trick is to enjoy yourself, and remember that exercise is supposed to make you feel better about yourself, physically and mentally!

This rule can be adapted to anyone’s lifestyle to fit needs and goals. It takes into account work, family, and play, and can evolve as one goes from a sedentary life to one filled with activities and fun.
