We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrea Testa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrea, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind our business and the success of our brand is authenticity. Not only do we operate as our most authentic selves on a daily basis, but we also coach our clients on how to show up as their amazing, one-of-a-kind selves each day as well! Our coaches practice transparency with each individual we work with- exercise and living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge and we are honest about that! We support all of our clients to the very best of our ability and love every moment of what we do!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Team Testa Wellness works with teens and young adults to help them develop confidence and resilience through wellness education, life, and fitness coaching. We’re proud to say that we bring happiness and joy to our clients’ lives- our coaching sessions are full of laughter and fun and we believe that our method of adding enjoyment to fitness and wellness is what makes our clients so successful in reaching their goals.
TTW started in Upstate NY and moved to Denver- it was a challenge for us to start again from the ground up making connections, meeting new clients, and establishing our roots but the beauty of it is, having that resiliency is what we teach our clients on a daily basis. We connected with like-minded people, leaned into the discomfort and vulnerability, and we have been more than rewarded for doing so!
We’d like the world to know that we truly love what we do and we care about each and every person that we work with. We were once beginners and we’ve never forgotten what it feels like to jump into fitness & wellness for the first time. Our coaches are here for you no matter what!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If our best friend(s) were visiting Denver we would have an itinerary set for them full of outdoor activities and our favorite food spots! We’d start our trip with a visit to Sloan’s Lake; it’s a perfect place to have a picnic, throw a football/toss a frisbee, and meet new friends!
One of our favorite spots to view the mountains that are super close to Denver is the Genesee Exit (Exit 254) off I70. We would stop and take in the views then go for a hike around Lookout Mountain.
A simple activity that we love to do is scooter or bike around the city- it’s the perfect way to explore and stop off at new areas while getting some fresh air and sunshine.
As for food & drink, some of our favorite spots are Little Man (of course), The Family Jones, Cerebral, Dos Luces, Raices, Avanti, Safta, Marquis Pizza, Cuba Cuba, and Ajinoya.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to dedicate this shoutout to my Dad- he is the hardest-working and most selfless person I have ever known. I was taught at a young age that we work hard & play hard and that is exactly how I live my life now. Life should balance dedicating yourself to things you love, putting in the work and the effort, and enjoying yourself along the way. My Dad has always said that the sky is the limit- I’m excited to see just how high it can go.
