Our story began as Andrew took his first class at Orangetheory Fitness Old Town Scottsdale on a Saturday in June of 2018. And what do you know, it just so happened that I was his coach. In his words, "I locked eyes on him from the start". In my words, "He required a lot of assistance." As he has so much heart, Andrew made it through the workout (barely) and signed up for an unlimited membership. After a few weeks (once he could keep up with me) we started taking classes together and quickly became workout buddies.

At the time, Andrew was an area scout for the Minnesota Twins, so he would travel often. A few weeks had gone by and I had not seen him at the studio in awhile. Being the Type A, go-getter that I am, I reached out to him and said, "When will my workout buddy be back in town?" Seeing this, Andrew was WAY IN from that point moving forward.

Our first date ended with Andrew ordering us an entire pizza, rather than us getting a slice each. From that point onward, I realized he commits to things and I was also WAY IN.

Six years later, we now live in Sacramento, California with our two labs - Hazy & Kobe. Andrew is an Assistant Baseball Coach at UC Davis and I am an Orangetheory Regional Fitness Manager who oversees 7 studios in Sacramento.

I love where we live due to the change of seasons but mostly due to the proximity to wine country. Andrew loves it because his sweetie does (his words not mine).

Even though Sacramento is home, we cannot wait to celebrate where our story started. Cheers and see you in the desert!
