XIOS Strength and Conditioning, along with Coach Andrew have been a tremendous instrument in my off-season success, as I am approaching my second season with the XFL in 2024. Coach Andrew‘s experience as a strength and conditioning coach not only at the high school and collegiate levels but also in the pros truly shows in his everyday efforts to get each athlete ready for their next move. The gym atmosphere, truly welcomes, everyone and contains the competitive spark that every young athlete needs. Coach Andrew ‘s ability to connect with athletes and their goals is truly next level, allowing for exponential growth, across-the-board at XIOS.

“In July of 2020, while most gyms were closed, XIOS Strength & Conditioning welcomed me with open arms. Since joining, I have excelled not only in my athletic career but as an individual as well. Early on, I developed a personalized relationship with Coach Andrew, one in which he pushed me beyond my limits as well as held me accountable in all aspects of life. Coach Andrew offers helpful feedback and motivation creating an environment in which everyone aspires to grow and make progress. What I value most, is how they care not only about your physical fitness but also your life outside of the gym including your struggles and successes, which is not something you find at commercial gyms. This is what makes the XIOS Family so special.”

“XIOS is an amazing place that offers opportunities to their athletes. Whether they give their full 100% or try to master their craft, if you go to XIOS you must be prepared to work as there is no room for fooling around. When everyone around you is trying their hardest to succeed and progress, the last thing they need are distractions. Time is precious for most people who are at a disadvantage in life.”
– James Joines: CHS ’20 Football Alumni, XIOS Olympic Weightlifter

“Andrew Dela Cruz changed my life! I met Andrew about 4 years ago, just cresting 50 years old, overweight, with no regular physical activity in my daily life.  I’d always been quite thin most of my life, but the years approaching 50 and lack of regular activity resulted in a lot of extra pounds.  I’d tried gyms before, but never felt comfortable and I didn’t have any personal support.

I told Andrew that I simply wanted to re-introduce some physical activity in my life but didn’t want to push too hard as I was concerned about injuries (I have a history of back and shoulder issues). 

While losing weight would be nice, it wasn’t my major priority at the time.  Andrew started working with me twice a week in the gym.  He had an incredible ability to make me feel comfortable in the gym (which I never thought possible) and motivate me to keep pushing a bit more every time we met. 

He was very careful to design workouts that would strengthen my shoulder and back and I never had a single injury.  Before I knew it, the pounds started coming off.  I was shocked, pleased, and increasingly motivated to keep working at this.  In a short 5 months, I had lost 35 pounds and was back to feeling like my old self again. 

I was never a workout type of person, but Andrew showed me how I could achieve a healthy lifestyle and keep myself in good shape.  I love going to the gym now and I find it really helps manage my stress levels as well as my weight.  It’s been 4 years and I talk with Andrew regularly as he continues to keep me motivated and healthy.  I truly believe he changed my life forever and I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for me.”

Within his plan are constant encouragement, inspiration, and exciting and innovative new techniques that help keep things fresh.  I was able to overcome my anxiety about my health through his ability to simplify the message and empower me to be a better and healthier person.”
