About Coach Ree | Founder of REEWORK ME, Monterey Park
From survival
to legacy.
"I'm your proof that rock bottom can become a foundation." Andrew "Coach Ree" Olivas went from over 400 pounds to building Monterey Park's most personal gym.
DJing was my entire identity.
Let me take you back. Before the muscle. Before the mindset. Before REEWORK ME ever existed, I was a turntablist at 15. By 16, I was DJing in 21+ clubs with Power 106.
I was living "the life." Eating anything. Drinking everything. Sleeping all day. I was over 400 pounds, and DJing was my entire identity.
"Just let me rot."
In 2012, my dad, my superhero, had a stroke. Paralyzed. Six months to live.
He was giving up. He told me, "Just let me rot." And I started slipping into that dark hole with him.
I snapped. I read, I learned, I fought. I changed his meals and challenged him daily. The man who wanted to rot started walking again. He lived 3 more years.
That season broke me open. DJing didn't feel the same anymore. I found clarity in the gym. It gave me control. It gave me me back.
You're not starting over.
You're starting new.
Today, I'm 36. Married 17 years. 3 kids. Still DJing, but fueled by a new mission: REEWORK ME.
I've watched diabetics drop insulin and parents regain their lives, because I lived it. I know what it's like to start from zero.
