NICOLE ANDRADE

"I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and coaching Nicole in a variety of different settings over the years- even through the pandemic in which group fitness was turned upside down. As an educator herself- she is all about community and getting better at different disciplines daily. Throughout her fitness journey it is rewarding to see how much stronger, confident and poised she is as an individual athlete and member. Nicole is a great example of hard work pays off in my book." - Coach Pat
