‘I wasn’t done yet’: 59-year-old ‘health nut’ continues to inspire others through personal training

Health coach Andy Farina is determined to inspire and persevere no matter what life throws at him.

“When you have a lot of energy you can give a lot to a lot of people,” he says.

Doctors told Farina on four separate occasions he would never walk again; however, his six-day-a-week training schedule says otherwise.

From the trail to the gym to outdoor fitness classes around Gainesville, Farina’s creed is to give “demonstration rather than explanation.”
