Andrew Nickerl

Andrew Nickerl is the Health Coach at Red Compass Health. He is a husband, father, and US Marine veteran. Together with his wife of nearly a decade, he has embraced a journey of health and fitness, setting an example for their five-year-old daughter, who loves tracking her steps and asks constantly when she’ll be old enough to start lifting weights. Andrew is dedicated to helping patients achieve their weight loss goals while preserving muscle mass and enhancing overall wellness. He focuses on educating patients about the importance of a protein-rich diet and designing resistance training regimens tailored to each individual’s background, capabilities, and goals.

Andrew’s passion for health and fitness is deeply rooted in his personal journey. Through much of his adult life, he struggled with obesity and patterns of overeating and restrictive dieting, reaching a peak weight of nearly 300 pounds. After years of frustration struggling to maintain lasting changes, Andrew transformed his health through learning to build sustainable habits. To date, he has lost over 70 pounds of body fat while continuing to gain or maintain muscle throughout. This experience gives him a unique empathy for patients facing similar challenges–from the frustrations of yo-yo dieting to the daunting task of long-term weight management.

Andrew’s expertise is rooted in a foundation of education and experience, including specialized knowledge in hypertrophy training, evidence-based fat loss strategies, and practical coaching techniques gained through years of study and application. Outside the clinic, he continues to refine his own fitness journey while staying up-to-date on the latest advancements in evidence-based fitness. He is passionate about helping patients build sustainable habits that lead to lasting health improvements. Whether designing a patient’s first resistance training program or helping them navigate the psychological challenges of dieting and weight loss, Andrew is excited to be a resource in each patient’s journey to better health.
