Helping You Move Better, Feel Stronger, and Live Pain-Free
Hi, I’m Andrew Crosse, founder of Preservation Fitness — and my mission is simple:
To help people get out of pain, regain confidence in their bodies, and feel strong again — without extreme workouts or short-term fixes

After 20 years working as a carpenter, my body was a roadmap of aching joints and nagging injuries — especially in my shoulders. What started as daily pain slowly became a roadblock to the life I loved. I knew there had to be a better way than chronic painkillers and endless frustration.

some of the injuries I TREAT

Tendon inpingements

Tendon impingement in the shoulder, or shoulder impingement syndrome, happens when rotator cuff tendons and the bursa get pinched between the upper arm bone and the acromion (shoulder blade bone) during arm movements, causing pain, inflammation, and weakness, often from overuse, injury, or age-related wear, and is typically treated with rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, injections, or sometimes surgery. 

spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within your spine, which can compress the spinal cord and nerves, often due to age-related wear and tear (osteoarthritis), causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs,

tendinopathy

  • Tendinopathy is a general term for tendon pain and dysfunction, often from overuse or repetitive strain, involving degeneration and micro-tears rather than just inflammation (tendinitis).

I retrained as a personal trainer, specialising in helping people just like you move freely, feel strong, and break free from pain without sacrificing the life you love. I use a blend of science-backed exercise, practical movement coaching, and personalised support to unlock long-lasting results — not quick fixes.
