Owner
David Andras
Certifications: AFPT CPT, Pilates, Stretch, H.I.I.T
Experience: 19 years in the fitness industry
Being a competitive swimmer for 10 years and in the martial arts for 5 years, health and fitness has played a major role in my life. Unfortunately, with a demanding career my level of fitness decreased. Noticing the difference in my health, energy and excitement for life, I decided to reset my goals and take action. This motivated me to become a certified personal trainer and help others reach their goals as well. Along my journey, I have been able to supervise multiple clubs, employ and develop incredible people and currently own my own facility. My passion is to provide as many individuals as possible the ability to enhance their lifestyle through health and fitness! Health and Happiness to All dave.andras@worldgym.com

Experience: 15 years in Health and Fitness Industry
Specialitie(s): Coaching
Secret Power: Guessing
World Gym Northeast Ohio! I began my career over 15 years ago learning from Dave Andras at Bally Total Fitness and managed some of their largest facilities in N.E. Ohio. I am excited to share my passion of wanting to improve the overall quality of life for individuals, specifically those dealing with issues that have arisen from poor diet and inactivity. I look at every new member that World Gym enrolls as a success story because whether they were not working out at all or coming from a facility that simply views their members as a number, World Gym can provide a customized program to yield the desired results. Again, helping people is my passion which is why I view being a part of the #worldgymneo as a lifestyle choice! A fun fact about me is that I was awarded the Allegheny College Distinguished African American Scholar partly for my prowess in the Glenville math club!!

Bryant VandeVelde
Specialitie(s): Kettlebell Training and HIIT
Certifications: ISSA CPT
Secret Power: Creativity; “whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve”
Hi I’m Bryant Vandevelde. I’m currently going to school for Exercise and Sports Science. I will become a chiropractic practitioner once I graduate. I fell in love with the fitness world when I was on my own weight loss journey a few years back. I was 270 and went down to 175 in just about a year! On my journey I learned that dedication and consistency are key in the gym. After my successful weight loss, I decided to pursue men’s physique and I am to soon compete in an upcoming show in the spring of 2020. I also got certified by ISSA so I can follow one of my many passions, first and foremost being one-on-one personal training. I love to see progress in clients on a day to day basis. The progress clients see in the gym with hard work, dedication and consistency can lead them in the right direction for success.
