MEET OUR NEW TRAINER, ANDI!

Hi everyone! I’m Andi Parana, and I’m thrilled to be part of the team here at Pittsburgh Fitness Project.

My fitness journey began on the competitive stage, from earning a black belt in karate to years on the soccer and softball fields. Today, that drive has evolved into a passion for powerlifting, CrossFit, and HYROX. Whether I’m under a barbell or coaching a high-intensity circuit, I believe movement transforms both the body and the mindset.

I am dedicated to making fitness inclusive and am proud to work with any and all populations. As a coach who is Deaf with bilateral cochlear implants, I have a personal mission to increase accessibility for the Deaf community and individuals with disabilities. I strive to ensure that high-level training is adaptable, communication is clear, and the gym feels like home for every athlete.

Currently, I’m deepening my expertise through graduate studies in Sport and Performance Psychology. My goal is to bridge the gap between physical training and mental fortitude, helping you unlock your full potential!
