The Muhammad Ali Connection
One of Andy's most memorable achievements was being personally selected by Muhammad Ali to
develop boxing-based fitness programs. This collaboration helped establish Boxercise as a globally recognized brand and validated Andy's innovative approach to movement education.
"Working with Ali taught me that confidence isn't just about physical ability — it's about believing
you can learn anything with the right coaching. That philosophy underpins everything we do at The
Wake Method."
