Personal training minor grad uses aquatic strength training to expand customer base

Andrew Biederman, who combined personal training, sports communication and entrepreneurship minors to launch his career, has helped develop a training program using aquatics to improve strength training results. 

Biederman, who is a certified personal trainer at Robert Wood Johnson Fitness and Wellness Center in Hamilton, NJ, has worked in the fitness industry for two years. 

“RWJ Fitness Center is one of the most well-known, if not the best, fitness centers in the state of New Jersey. I am very grateful and happy to be a part of the RWJ fitness and wellness team. What is great about working for RWJ is they not only have the fitness floor, but also an entire aqua center that has helped me become more versatile as a personal trainer and increased my clientele tremendously,” Biederman said.

“Aquakinetics is a resistance training program that incorporates the use of specialized equipment to deliver a unique approach to strength training. It produces incredible results, such as personal training, small group training and sports performance training. The main benefits that can be achieved in these three styles of training are weight loss, strength, toning, balance, and cardiovascular endurance,” Biederman explained.

Biederman credits his time at West Virginia University in helping him develop his skills and become a better personal trainer. 

“I had a wonderful experience at WVU and being a part of CPASS has helped shaped me into a great health professional today. Helping individuals reach their fitness goals is a great feeling and very rewarding.” 

“All of my personal training and entrepreneurship classes that I took at WVU have helped me in my career path as a personal trainer. All of the personal training classes taught me about how to properly design an exercise program and appropriately progress clients in a safe and healthy manner. In addition, I learned a great deal from Nancy Naternicola, clinical instructor of fitness and wellness, about managing a fitness center when I interned at Stansbury Hall for a semester,” Biederman added.
