After serious health issues, doctors told Andrew he would never lift heavy weights again. Small since high school at just 120 lbs, Andrew had always wanted to be stronger, bigger, and more confident—but inconsistent training left him frustrated without results.

When Starting Strength opened in Indianapolis, Andrew decided to give it a chance. The impact was dramatic. Within just 3 months, he exceeded three of his four strength goals and now approaches a 405 lb deadlift, something that once seemed impossible.

The progress at Starting Strength came faster than Andrew ever expected. The coaches provided accountability and guidance while creating an environment where everyone knows each other and offers encouragement—something Andrew hadn’t experienced at other gyms.
