Hi, I'm Andrew.

I'm a personal trainer and the founder of Blakey Breakthrough.

I created Strong Start After 40 because I know how overwhelming it can feel when you're ready to start strength training but don't know where to begin.

My goal is simple: make strength training approachable, practical and something you actually feel confident doing.

You don't need to be fit before you start. You just need the right place to start.

Let's build a stronger you,
together. — Andrew
