Andrea Jodamus

I have a passion for all things sports & recovery. I tend to live by the saying that, "everyday is a new opportunity to become the best version of yourself." Therefore I aim to help athletes and non-athletes be the best version of themselves by helping them achieve their physical fitness goals with sport specific training and skills catered to their sport. I also have a love for injuries and helping others to get back to doing what they love. So help me too help you achieve your PHYSIQUE in motion.

Their idea for the business came about as paying gym membership fees are way too ridiculous nowadays. You also pay for a membership that you rarely make use of and end up wasting your money due to: lack of motivation, not knowing what to do, if you doing anything right because you aren't seeing any results or you pay for a gym membership but also have to pay for a Personal Trainer, or having to open a membership for each family member, with you then having to cough up more money than needed of which you don't have. Trends in at home gyms have increased drastically since the pandemic but professional assistance is still needed. This is where PHYSIQUE in motion was born.
