Coach Andrew
Andrew Ramirez, B.S., NASM-PES, CES, CPTFounder, CEO & Head Coach • Elite Performance Specialist
About Coach Andrew:
As the visionary leader behind Exult Performance, Andrew combines elite collegiate athletic experience with advanced sports science to empower athletes of all levels. Driven by his faith and a passion for community impact, Andrew founded Exult to deliver life-changing training that builds both character and athletic performance. His coaching philosophy centers on scientifically based programming that unlocks an athlete’s true potential while prioritizing long-term health and durability.
Background & Expertise:Andrew’s deep understanding of athletic development is rooted in a championship-winning career. A standout competitor, he led his high school team to three State Championships as a defensive MVP and initially played as a walk-on collegiate football player at Azusa Pacific University, where he captured two conference titles and multiple special teams honors. Navigating severe sports injuries from high school through his undergraduate years exposed a massive industry gap: the broken, disjointed handoff between clinical physical therapy and a safe return to sports performance training. Driven to provide a solution, he graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Applied Exercise Science and founded Exult Performance.
Andrew immediately put his sports-science knowledge and training systems to the ultimate test on his own body. Following a two-year break away from playing football, he applied his performance protocols to completely rehabilitate his past injuries, rebuild his explosive metrics, and successfully train himself to earn a scholarship to play his final year of collegiate football eligibility at Ottawa University Arizona (OUAZ). Realizing how deeply injury recovery and athletic performance are intertwined on the field, he went on to earn his Corrective Exercise Specialization (CES) to fully bridge this sports-medicine divide. Today, he channels those championship experiences, firsthand injury rehabilitations, and advanced credentials into precise programming that teaches youth prospects, college recruits, and professional athletes how to build explosive power, stay injury-free, and maximize overall athletic performance. His extensive training background spans youth development, elite collegiate competitors, professional athletes, and professional sports teams across all disciplines and sports.
