I help women rewrite what STRONG looks like, creating training that feels safe, sustainable, and deeply empowering.
No Bro-Gym BS Here.
I’m Andra — a trainer, coach, and believer that strength changes everything.
After decades in the fitness world — training women in Australia, California, and Ohio — I’ve seen how traditional gym culture often leaves women feeling unseen, pushed too hard, or trapped in “no pain, no gain” thinking.
I believe fitness should never be about shrinking yourself. It’s about taking up space, lifting heavier than you thought possible, and realizing just how strong and capable you truly are.
Why I Do This Work
My approach is built on three truths:
- Strength is not a size
- Progress should feel supportive, not stressful
- Your body deserves respect — not punishment
MEET ANDRA PATEY
I know what it’s like to feel broken down — physically and emotionally. I’ve navigated corporate burnout, launched businesses on two continents, and recovered from a birth injury that taught me how much resilience lives in the body.
Those experiences shaped not just my approach to training, but my perspective on life: not much rattles me. I show up grounded, clear, and committed to helping women like you discover that strength isn’t just about muscles — it’s about living boldly, unapologetically, and on your own terms.

— STEVE L.
"Andra is incredibly knowledgeable and tailors each workout to fit your goals, needs, and limitations. She’s the best there is. My fitness level has never been higher, and friends often tell me I don’t look my age — my one-word response is always, Andra."

- Fewer aches and more energy in daily life

- Stress relief, better sleep, and clearer focus
