Andrew Schaeffer started out as a humble personal trainer. He wanted to share his passion for health and fitness with others who maybe didn’t have the time or the know-how to reach their fitness goals. Heck, some of them didn’t even have fitness goals!

They all had one thing in common, though. This time, they wanted it to work. They made personal commitments to do what it takes to reach their goals. More importantly, they wanted to sustain their efforts once they got there.

This got Andrew thinking that it really is all about sustainability. He realized that how we live makes us and the world around us either healthier, or unhealthier. This a-ha moment changed his life.

Now he’s the founder of Utmost, dedicated to fitness and an environmentally sustainable way of life. Utmost helps us to see the connections and make the choices that promote long term wellness, while simultaneously contributing to the health of our planet.

Say so long to a fitness-obsessed culture that surrounds us, but does us no good. Instead, say hello to a culture of fitness that includes both us and the world around us. Thanks, Andrew!
