Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Mayard.
Hi Andrea, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Hi! I’m Andrea, the heartbeat behind multiple fitness brands over the span of 18 years. My journey started in Dallas soon after College, building my career in fitness and health. While working for multiple prestigious fitness centers in Dallas, combining the luxury feel of immaculate and highly experienced fitness facilities and learning from industry leaders, my dream was accomplished with my first boutique-style women-only fitness studio in Flower Mound, Texas.
After dedicating over 4.5 years to hard work, community, loyalty, self-empowerment, and success, I made the difficult choice to close down my fitness studio in order to prioritize being a mom. We recognize that motherhood can be challenging and overwhelming at times. However, this decision also provided me with invaluable time to develop a strong bond and establish a solid foundation for my two young girls.
The success of my first studio (MY BODY Fitness) led me to establish a new brand in Argyle, TX, known as YOURFITBODY by AndreaClairefit; I wanted to cater to women in the same stage as myself: motherhood! Working moms, stay at home moms, soon to be empty nesters, and any mom in between,
AndreaClaireFit is a more personalized and higher-end style of 1:1 personal training and semi-private personal training. This career option has given me the flexibility to still be a mom while also being able to fulfill my career dreams and inspire other moms to keep their health and wellness at the forefront of their lives.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Of course not! Ha!
Just as life, business has its ups and downs. Choosing between my first business model and my 2 young children was a challenge I didn’t realize I’d need to overcome.
Starting my business again out of my home when my kids were still little offered new obstacles like time management, safety, and creativity. Covid was also devastating to many fitness businesses as most people needed to pivot to online fitness or other sanitary measures to protect the potential financial hit that each fitness facility would inevitably go through during such a historical scary time.
Now, becoming a single mom, I have needed to become financially savvy in an effort to remain productive while still remaining present for my children and creative in business.
As you know, we’re big fans of AndreaClaireFit. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
One thing that people may not know about me is that I am a seasoned abstract hobby artist. It not only allows me to express my creativity and art, it also grants me space and time to let go and refocus on the flow of life.
