My Mission

"As your personal trainer and athletic coach, my goal is to to provide you with the very best personalized training and coaching services based upon realistic, mutually set goals designed to maximize your fitness or athletic potential."

Sounds like a mouthful but it summarizes succinctly what Athletic Endeavours stands for and what I bring to each and every client, each and every session. For more than 16 years, and hundreds of clients later, I can say that I am at the top of my game. The experience that comes from thousands of hours of one-to-one training is the corner stone of my work and informs this session, the next session and every one after that. The proof is in the results, your results: look in the mirror, step on the scale, put on those pants, run that personal best, cross off that goal from your list and move on. Athletic Endeavours is there every step of the way. I promise.

About Andrew Tuovinen

Growing up in small-town Ontario, my father influenced me greatly to participate in sports at a very early age. My dad was into gymnastics, track and field and hockey. Initially, I became addicted to being outside be it winter or summer. In winter, it was hockey; in the summer, it was whatever I could get my hands on: baseball, basketball, tennis, cycling. This is where my insatiable desire to compete began. I always wanted to be on the winning team.

In the early days, hockey was my obsession, whether it was on the ice rink my dad built in out the back yard, or organized hockey. When I reached my early teens though, I discovered running and running fast. Whether it was to complete an insane distance, or to win a track race, I fell for the sport hook, line and sinker. Middle distance track racing became my specialty and still, to this day I am still the record holder for my high school in the 800 and 1500m events!

After high school, I went to a community college studying to work in the fitness industry and at that point discovered the weight room and triathlon. At the time, I didn’t recognize that these two disciplines had so many unlimited synchronistic applications to my current career path! I followed my dreams and passions and this is what became of me: personal trainer, triathlon coach, swim/bike/run coach.
