Feeling great and getting into a lifestyle rhythm were two important factors in Danny T. goal for this start to his journey. In those 90 days he found his healthy groove and his body was feeling fueled and healed.

When I started the Sharp Health & Fitness program three months ago, I knew I needed to make a change. I wanted to lose weight, feel healthier, and have more energy to actually enjoy life and stay active. But honestly, I'd tried things before, and nothing seemed to stick.

Working with Andy was a completely different experience. What made this work for me was the accountability – and I mean for everything. It wasn't just about showing up, there was real structure, real support, and someone who genuinely cared about my progress every step of the way.

The results speak for themselves – I lost 40 pounds and 8% body fat over the three months. But what's even better than the numbers is how I feel now. I have so much more energy, I'm way more active, and for the first time in a long time, I actually feel good on a regular basis.

The biggest game-changer? I finally understand what I should be eating. It's not about restriction or some impossible diet – it's about knowing what fuels my body the right way. That knowledge has made all the difference, and I know it's going to stick with me long-term.

If you're on the fence about this program, I can't recommend it enough. The investment in myself was absolutely worth it, and I'm so grateful I took that first step.

Healthy learning is a powerful tool. Understanding and applying that knowledge is when things can get complicated. Don't let something simple be complicated. Knowing and realizing food is fuel is key. This is what I had the pleasure of guiding Tony and Jen S. to engage and understand the food choices you make on a daily basis can affect you both mentally and physically. At the end of our 3 month journey and final assessment I was confident that both Tony and Jen have a much better awareness now, I won't even mention the list of past recipes they shared with me...LOL!

Last fall we weren’t feeling good, had no energy and were more or less going through the motions, thinking I guess that’s what the 50’s feel like…

Meanwhile I’d started a new job and during the months of November & December there were all sorts of “treats” arriving seemingly daily at the office. Not wanting to dishonor the vendors’ gifts I fully enjoyed all sorts of cookies & candy.

I knew the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing but to expect different results. Through some conversations with my (new) boss I was energized and started casually researching wellness plans, but without knowing what I was really looking for.

Magically my LinkedIn feed was full of coaches—and I thought only Google & Amazon were listening. Go figure.

My wife & I had several conversations about needing “to do something” and I committed to researching plans. I started to take notice of friends and coworkers and what lifestyle habits they were following.

I read about a number of, and subsequently interviewed 3-4 coaches but none of them had exactly what I was looking for—even though I didn’t know what I was looking for.

We felt strongly that we needed meal planning guidance; and from personal experience I knew that accountability was also a need for success.

During this time I watched a coworker lose approximately 40 pounds - whatever he was doing was working! The negative? I wasn’t so sure I wanted to eat what I watched him eat.

But it’s said that desperate times call for desperate measures…

I texted Andy and set up a zoom discovery call and asked my wife to join me - something she hadn’t really been interested in during other research.

We talked to Andy and he sounded so encouraging. When we got off the call she said, “He makes it sound doable. I think we can do that.”

We looked at our calendar and saw that we had several life events coming up, but we scheduled our start date for the Monday after.

The program is simple. I didn’t say easy, but it’s simple. Andy laid out the specifics and led us through getting ready to start, covering how the accountability works and some do’s and (many more, LOL) do not’s.

In hindsight one of the biggest benefits was that while we were/are doing the program as a couple - we weren’t each others’ accountability partner. I wasn’t the one saying “no” to a birthday treat, for example. That was Andy’s job (and he’s good at it)…

The first couple weeks were challenging in terms of preparation and ex*****on, but rewarding as we started to see not just pounds come off, but gains (losses!) in other key metrics that we weren’t typically tracking.

After a month of faithfully & 100% following the program, Andy announced that both of us were ready for phase 2. We didn’t know what that meant, but it meant we were making progress & enabling our bodies to process the healthier food choices Andy was equipping us to make.

It also meant that much of the inflammation we didn’t know we were dealing with in our gut was gone; and we could add exercise into our program.

While admittedly we were loving the results we experienced in the first month, there were some foods that were completely off the menu & other things she could eat that I couldn’t—each of our plans were personalized for us & while they were perhaps 80% similar we were both missing some foods.

We increased our food intake and the numbers kept improving.

Unsure what manner of wizardry our bodies are capable of; but between marketing, life experience & large companies’ best interests being misaligned with our longterm health & wellness — we realized that some (many?) things that our tastebuds had been trained to prefer just aren’t good for us—whether they ever were or our bodies just process foods differently as we age I’ll let up to you & Andy to discuss.

Our 90 day program ended successfully & we both lost more weight than we thought possible; also improving all manner of body composition metrics.

You’re wondering how we did, following the program to the letter?

Male 56 at conclusion of 12 week program: 33 pounds (16% body weight); 15”; and 7.2% body fat lost

Female 55 at conclusion (post menopausal) aged 55 at conclusion of 12 week program: 29 pounds (17.3% of body weight); 20” and 7.7% body fat lost

Since that time we have continued to improve our numbers & we have also been equipped to better pay attention to how our bodies respond to foods & other stimuli—one week I was following the program but not sleeping well and gaining weight. Go figure, the body needs sleep for optimal operation.

One of my favorite things about Andy and Sharp Health & Fitness is that he isn’t selling anything other than the programs that you see on their website. He’ll tell you about supplements if you ask & share what he personally uses - but there’s no high pressure push to use anything or buy it from him.

He’s genuine & authentic. The level of contact & accountability that you get - the pure value - is unmatched. If you fully commit to the program, Andy will commit to you & you will win.

We are both 100% believers. We (or more me) weren’t always enthusiastic about his answers or recommendations, but they just work.

Don’t hesitate. Give yourself & your family the gift of health & wellness today.

Of note: for us an unintended (good) consequence of our wellness journey with Sharp Health & Fitness was a tangible weekly savings in our food budget. Before starting we spent approximately 3x as much on groceries, takeout and eating out. During the 90 days and since, we have spent approximately 1/3 as much while eating better and continuing to stock our pantry with significantly higher quality ingredients. We literally were eating filet for 4 meals most weeks and saving money while our health & wellness improved.

Lastly - the value doesn’t stop when your engagement ends. I was blown away when at our exit zoom call Andy told us how he follows up with his clients - after we had completed what we paid for. Unmatched.

What a pleasure it was to work with Donnie H for the past 6 months. Having the tools to understand how your body responds to fuel food vs. processed foods and how much more satisfied the body is absorbing the healthy foods will provide Donnie guidance to continue his lifestyle change. Not to mention having a family member go through the program as well was motivation.

I did Andy’s 6-month program and lost 50 pounds! But the biggest change was how I started to think about food. Before working with Andy, I felt stuck in a cycle of bad habits and quick fixes. Andy helped me address my gut health and waist line, but he also adjusted my mindset when it comes to taking care of my body.
The plan was simple, but not always easy. There were difficult days in the beginning, but having Andy’s support and consistent accountability made all the difference. I learned how to fuel my body properly, and to stop letting food cravings control me.
Now I feel stronger, lighter, and way more confident. I actually learned to enjoy eating healthy and I know how to keep this going for life. If you’re ready to commit, with Andy’s help, I can confidently say that you’ll get real results.

That first meeting with someone you can always tell what this will mean to them. My first meeting with Cathy B, she was more emotional about the results her friend was seeing on this plan. At her 90 day mark she was so emotionally aware of the changes within herself. Two things I still remember Cathy saying when I asked her about the journey, were now having the confidence and ability to control influence around food and how "real" food can heal the body better than shots and prepacked foods. I am so happy that Cathy is in a better place as this journey continues.
Recommendation for Sharp Health and Fitness
A little over 90 days ago, I began a transformative health journey with Andy at Sharp Health and Fitness, and it has been nothing short of life-changing. At 62, I was concerned about the natural aging process and the potential deterioration of my body, but through the guidance and support I received, I now look forward to a future where I can age with vitality and strength instead of fear.
One of the most significant changes has been the elimination of chronic inflammation, something that had plagued me for years. I have learned to understand how food specifically affects my body, and this knowledge has allowed me to break free from a toxic relationship with food. Thanks to Andy’s guidance and support, I now view food as fuel that nourishes my body, rather than a source of guilt or confusion. I no longer fear the number on a scale because I know that it only represents a small part of the true measure of the health.
Meal planning has become a key part of my routine, and with the tools and resources provided during my journey, I have gained the confidence to make healthier choices that fit my lifestyle. The process of meal preparation and thoughtful eating has not only enhanced my physical health but also brought me mental clarity and a renewed sense of purpose.
But perhaps the most invaluable aspect of my experience has been the encouragement and personal support from Andy. His guidance has been unwavering, and his belief in my potential has helped me push past barriers I once thought insurmountable. Andy’s coaching has provided me with the tools I need to sustain my health for the long term, ensuring that I can continue on this journey for the rest of my life.
Thanks to Sharp Health and Fitness, I am not just surviving; I am thriving. The results speak for themselves. I lost 30 pounds, 16% of my body weight, 7.7% of my body fat and 24 inches.
I am grateful for the opportunity to take control of my health, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sharp Health and Fitness to anyone who is ready to make lasting, positive changes in their life.

College years are supposed to be the "best years of your life" transitioning into adulthood. But what good are they if you can't enjoy them physically and emotionally. I am so happy to have worked with Emma T. and seeing the huge transformation she went through in a 90 day period going into her senior year.

Hi everyone! My name is Emma, and I’m 21 years old. Throughout college, I gradually gained more and more weight. No matter what I did, I just couldn’t seem to lose it. On top of that, I was dealing with a range of health issues. I had severe hormonal imbalances that made my cycles unbearable and left my moods all over the place. Even simple things like walking or light jogging would leave my joints in so much pain that I’d have to stop. I tried everything: diets, supplements, homeopathic remedies. Nothing helped me lose the weight and keep it off or addressed the root of all the issues I was facing. Then, a few months before I began my journey with Sharp Health and Fitness, things got even worse. I started having negative reactions to food (fried and processed foods) which had never been a problem before. That’s when I knew something had to change. I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin, and I was desperate for a solution. When I first heard about Sharp Fitness, I was definitely anxious and scared. The idea of giving up some of my favorite foods was overwhelming. I didn’t want to miss out on dinners with friends or feel like I was constantly restricted. But as I began the program and started seeing changes in my body, those fears faded quickly. I learned so much about nutrition, like what to eat, what my body responds to, and how to fuel myself properly. Within the first month, I already felt better: my cravings disappeared, my bloating went away, my digestion improved, and I felt more energized. Then, my hormones began to balance out, and slowly but surely, all the health issues I had struggled with began to disappear. Eventually, I was able to start working out again. I got into strength training and running, with no pain and I felt stronger than ever. I started noticing changes not just on the inside, but on the outside too. One moment that really stuck with me was a pair of jeans I loved but couldn’t even pull up over my thighs at my heaviest. Within a month and a half, they fit comfortably again. That feeling was a huge motivator! I lost 35 pounds! That number might not seem huge to some, but for me, it felt impossible at the time. I’m beyond grateful to Andy and the Sharp Health and Fitness team. They’ve been incredible motivators throughout the whole process. Andy truly took the time to understand and cater to my specific issues. This has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and it’s completely changed my life!

Sharp Health and Fitness will be sponsoring a Charity Gold outing at Blue Mountain Golf Course. This is to help a friend who was in a severe motor accident and is still in the hospital.

If you live around the Lebanon, PA area and would like to participate in the golf outing, please see details below.

UPDATE ON JIMI (this is from my notes/messenger group update) if you want added let me know.
The other day, I had a really good conversation with Jimi's urologist. He was on the phone with me at least 45 minutes. He discussed his urological issues and other issues from the accident, i.e., the floating bones and the part of the most recent scan that said 'prostate surgically absent'.
UROLOGY STUFF
1. Pockets of fluid. He said the scan showed pockets are emptying, and as they empty, the pockets are folding in on themselves. When we get to the point of removing the "drainage bulbs," all should be collapsed together, but the area those inserts occupied. They should then follow suit
2. He saw on the earlier scans (july) that the stent was not quite placed properly and directed staff to correct the issue. Since then, it appears no continuing urine leakage has occurred.
He said the ureter near his kidney is swollen due to trauma. Most likely, those injuries stay like that forever. He feels the ureter slice should be healed. It may have been reopened when they went in recently and placed a new stent (they must be replaced every 3 months) he described the stent having cork screw ends that help secure ureter the ends into the kidney and bladder
3. A Foley catheter had replaced the other cather to give him maximum voiding capability.
4. We may need to look later if more permanent actions are needed to be taken if the pockets do not heal as predicted
5. He suspects the growth in "private area" is either a cyst or a mass related by trauma or possibly a hematoma that has altered into a mass. It's not cancerous and an issue to deal with later.
PROSTATE
1. I spoke with the director of nursing and quality control director. They went back through imaging. The prostate is there, but it appears part is missing. He came to them from Reading this way. This was never told to us or jimi by Reading.
2. I ask the urologist if part of the prostate could have been interfering with surgical attempts on ureter. He said that's possible, or it may have been bleeding, and they tied a portion up. The pic shows that the missing part may fit this scenario. An issue to look into with Reading.
OTHER STUFF
1. Urologist understood my concern about the loose bone, causing additional damage by moving about. He said that by this time, those bones will be encapsulated by tissue and not able to reek havoc.
2. Brought up hip replacement. He said that right now, everything is settled in, and we are going in a good direction. To let things be for now. Look at it after what we see jimi can achieve at physical therapy.
We are still going to contact mom's ortho, we got names of 2 doctors willing to review and/or treat jimi (they have offices all over lancaster). Look over Jimi's images. To gather their professional opinion on the hip reconstruction and if it warrants them seeing him. It is a reassurance that everything is fine for now.
3. He still is wheel chair bound with little use of his legs. And minimal strength regained in supporting his trunk.
There are other things going on but those are the main issues right now.
**NOTE TO SELF** Discuss cracks appearing of ribs and sternum mentioned in the report. Are they cracks, healing cracks, and mentioned for reference. Or are they no healing injuries.
**REQUEST FOR ALL**
Please consider fitting into your schedule a visit to jimi, even a phone call (if awake and not busy if you get VM, he will call back)
BTW he doesn't read FB or texts or voicemail. Missed phone calls or visits only that he sees
Jimi's depression is getting worse, and I see signs of him not eating as much again.
I have had them switch around his mental health drugs, so he has anti depressionant during the day. All mental health drugs were being given at night to help him sleep.
I thank all who have done things to help us, most recently Williams. I would ask for people to help him, however possible to make the golf outing a success.
Davey works 3 jobs and has been knocking on doors literally for this. This is a NON IO event, he is but one man. He has been a friend of Jimi's for 30+ ish years. We fell out of touch in the past 10 ish years with moving & club life. But Davey stood up and is trying to help his long time friend.
The golf scramble is in Fredericksburg PA. We need hole sponsors, players & prizes to raffle. Please contact David Williams, he is handling everything. I will attach a flyer for the event & the course lay out. Again, this is a non affiliated event. Please come and have fun.
Finally. Sorry, not sorry, Jimi has always been seen as the brother to call when you need free bike work, life advice, IO advice, help in general. His family has repeatedly been put to the back burner over 10+ years, so he can help his brothers and even their maidens. Show him what his dedication to his Oath means to you.

What's the number #1 question I get asked this time of the year from people thinking of making a lifestyle change??? Should I wait until after the holidays. My answer is why allow 3 days of the year dictate a life time of health. The holidays are not going away and learning how to migrate through them will allow you to make the changes necessary to be successful.

Waiting until after the holidays is just an excuse to make things even worse for yourself. Why not go into the holiday season feeling better about yourself and truly have something to be thankful for and celebrate.

If you are someone or know someone that is thinking about that question and are ready to make that lifestyle change, don't let 3 days of the year control the remaining 362 days.

Reach out via Messenger, email (sharpworkout@gmail.com) or text /call (843) 949-0262, and schedule a free zoom consultation and take the first step in making this holiday year a healthier one.

From Skeptic to Reality, Holly J has found a new sense of confidence in herself. The best moment was a phone call I had with Holly and she informed me she was no longer needing medication to make it through a day. I will forever be so proud of Holly and I know her journey is not over yet.

My Journey: From Pain to Power
I’ve always struggled with my weight. Over the years, I tried programs like Weight Watchers and NutriSystem, hoping for a quick fix—but I never truly committed, and they never taught me how to eat. I didn’t learn about food, portion control, or how to nourish my body. I was chasing results without understanding the process.
Then I saw a few people from my church losing weight and changing their lives. Watching them inspired me. I was ready. That’s when I was given Andy’s contact information.
From our very first conversation, Andy made me feel at ease. I was skeptical, so I only signed up for three months. He told me I could learn to eat healthy and lose weight. I thought, “Okay, we’ll see. I know how I am—I don’t push myself.” But I was wrong.
I started my journey on November 6, 2024—right in the middle of the holiday season. And now, just nine months later, I’ve lost over 100 pounds.
Yes, you read that right. Over 100 pounds. If you had told me on day one that I’d be 100+ pounds lighter in nine months, I would’ve laughed. But here I am.
Even on days when I didn’t have to weigh in, I stayed committed. It’s hard to cheat when you’re sending Andy screenshots of everything you eat. And really, the only person I’d be cheating was myself.
Before this journey, I lived with constant pain. I have rods in my back, both knees replaced, and I was always hurting. Today, I have zero back pain. My knees don’t hurt. I can run up and down stairs. I can stand at the stove and cook a full meal—pain-free. My energy? Off the charts. I feel alive.
There were tough days. Days when the scale barely moved or even went up. I wanted to give up more than once. But my daughter kept encouraging me, and Andy never stopped supporting me. With that kind of love and dedication, how could I quit?
My gastroenterologist had asked me to lose just 3 pounds in 3 months. I lost 60. The next time I saw him, I was down over 90. He was stunned. “How did you do it?” he asked. I told him: all natural. I learned how to eat.
My biometric numbers—all of them—are now in the normal range. I feel like a new person. I used to hate taking pictures. Now, when I look at old ones, I’m amazed. I see someone I barely recognize. And for the first time in my life, I like what I see in the mirror.
I can even go out to eat and make a few imperfect choices, knowing that tomorrow I’ll be right back on track. And I’m okay with that.
Without Andy and Sharp Health and Fitness, I wouldn’t be here.
I wouldn’t be this version of me. And I’m so proud of her.

I have had so much support from my family (my dad) and multiple other family members, my co-workers… oh my gosh so much love and support, all my family from church that rooted me along. Without all that love and support and encouragement helped me get to where I am today and I love you all and thank you for everything.

As part of our plan we ask clients to complete Lifestyle goals prior to starting. At Bob W. final assessment in 90 days he was able to reach goals he had set as part of long term success. All while learning the greatest aspect and that is how the body reacts to healthy foods vs processed foods.

I learned about Sharp Health and Fitness from a good friend that had been in the program about a month. After years of long work hours, high stress, and poor diet choices I had ballooned up to 228 lbs and was experiencing a good bit of joint pain and high cholesterol. I was taking a statin for my cholesterol and meloxicam or ibuprofen every night for joint pain. Many nights I needed ambien to sleep.

After learning about the Sharp program I decided to try it for 90 days mostly to reduce the inflammation in my body that resulted in joint pain and fatigue. I also wanted to lose weight, of course, but it was a secondary goal. Within three weeks of making the recommended diet changes my joint pain was 90% resolved. I felt much better, I slept a whole lot better, and I discovered that I had more clarity of thought. I had not even realized that I had been experiencing “brain fog” until then.

I completed the 90 day nutrition program with ease through constant accountability check ins ….at least 5 times daily. Through this nutrition program I lost 35 lbs and drastically changed my body composition. I lost 7.2% of my body fat. I no longer take statins. My most recent blood tests showed a total cholesterol of 119 with my LDLs ( bad cholesterol) and triglycerides too low to accurately measure. I have not taken an anti inflammatory medication in the last 3 months. My joint pain has resolved. I feel better, I sleep better, and I have more energy than I’ve had in 15 years.

Sharp Health and Fitness did not try to sell me any products whatsoever. They literally gave me the tools and knowledge I needed and taught me how to change my diet. They held me accountable and that was the most helpful part of the plan. Their plan works! I have been able to make a lifestyle change that is permanent and I’m still discovering new benefits daily.
