Today we’d like to introduce you to D’Andre Swain-Bonner.
Hi D’Andre, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Fitness has always been a part of my life—but it wasn’t always easy. Growing up in Houston, Texas, I learned firsthand what it takes to commit to real change. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life reach their health and fitness goals.
Since becoming a NASM-certified trainer in 2018 and earning my title as a Men’s Beachbody Pro Athlete, I’ve specialized in weight loss, body sculpting, and body recomposition. But more than that, I’ve focused on helping people build confidence, strength, and lasting wellness from the inside out.
At Vindauf Fitness Studio, I offer personalized programs tailored to your unique goals—designed to create sustainable results. Whether you’re looking to get stronger, feel healthier, or start a fresh chapter, I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way. Let’s get to work and unlock your full potential.
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?
The journey hasn’t always been easy. I had to overcome some serious obstacles to get to where I am today—including losing over 70 pounds myself. There were times when people didn’t believe in my vision or understand my passion, but I kept pushing forward anyway. I’ve learned that true growth doesn’t come from staying comfortable—it comes from showing up, day after day, even when you don’t feel like it. Choosing discipline over comfort became my mindset, and it’s what carried me through the toughest moments. That same drive is what I bring to every client I work with, because I know firsthand what it takes to transform your life from the inside out.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Vindauf Fitness?
At Vindauf Fitness, it’s more than just workouts—it’s a movement built on mindset, discipline, and real transformation. I specialize in personalized training programs that focus on helping busy professionals who understand that fitness is an integral part of their success. What sets Vindauf apart is the one-on-one, client-first approach: I meet you where you are, physically and mentally, and build a program that fits your lifestyle and long-term goals.
I’m most proud of helping people break past their limits—not just in the gym, but in life. Whether you’re just starting or leveling up, Vindauf is here to guide you every step of the way toward real, lasting change.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
Vindauf Fitness is where it is today because of the incredible people God placed in my life. First and foremost, it was God who carried me through every challenge—His strength and guidance have been my foundation. My grandfather, Eurey Swain (EC) had a huge impact on the man I’ve become. He taught me the value of hard work and instilled in me the mindset to never give up. I still remember him teaching me how to ride a bike as a kid—he wouldn’t let me quit, no matter how many times I fell. That lesson stuck with me and shaped how I approach life. Mike Smith, owner of ‘The Body Specialist’ in The Woodlands, TX, was a true mentor. His guidance and belief in me helped shape my vision and gave me the direction I needed to build Vindauf Fitness.
