Andres Linares is the head coach of Team BB Legacies.
He began coaching in 2019 when his wife Dr. Rachel Linares, IFBB Pro Bikini, decided to compete in her first bikini competition.
After Rachel won her first NPC show, and a year later winning her IFBB Pro card at her first national show, Andres knew that he was meant to become a full time coach.
Since then, Andres has continued to see success in his coaching by coaching several others to winning their IFBB Pro Cards, NPC overall titles, and has seen success on the IFBB Pro stage with several top 5 placings.
Andres strives to be the best coach for his clients in all aspects. He has taken many continuing education courses that have increased his knowledge in competing, gut health, and hormones as seen below.
Certifications and Continued Education:
Matt Cusano's Functional Health Mentorship Course
J3U's Male Module Certification
J3U's Female Module Certification
Jason Theobald's Functional Health Course
I’m here to tell you’ll how much of an impact Coach Andres has made on my life as an athlete! I’m a 37 year old mom of two boys & wife with a big goal! After extensive research I decided to work with Andres because there’s no coach like him. I’ve been working with Andres for 9 months now. We prepped for a show back in the spring and won the overall bikini title in June 2023. He was and always is SO attentive to my goals and most importantly my HEALTH! He will give you the recipe & it’s up to you to put it to work. If you do so you will succeed and there’s no question about it. He’s helped my physique change inside and out with blood work & the best training / diet protocols. He also has a very talented and beautiful IFBB Pro wife Rachel Linares that has also helped me tweak my posing when it needed it. I’m so forever grateful for her advice! I’m beyond excited to see what we can bring to the stage this coming season in 2023! This will be one for the books!"

“Andres is a true master of his craft! There are very few people who can lay claim to that statement regarding what they do and Andres is one of those people.
I decided to get with Andres in August of 2022 and prep for a show. Although I had my doubts with such a short prep, Andres reassured me that I have what it takes to become a pro. Andres is extremely detail oriented. There were almost no questions I needed to ask because everything was explained to me in immense detail. The way he goes about coaching is unparalleled to coaches of my past. Being able to call/text whenever gave me a sense of security that they really cared for me not only as his client but as his friend.
Through the months working together we have become like family, I have never felt as comfortable with a coach before. He truly takes the time to see how the foods and supplements are reacting to each individual as the day goes. He is by far the best coach I have had the pleasure to work with and I would 1000% recommend it to anyone who wants to not only compete but make a lifestyle change!”

“I worked with Andres from 2019 to 2021 he was and is the best coach I have ever worked with, very knowledgeable, professional, attentive and pays attention to details in depth. When we started working together, it was a 50/50 relationship. I would reach out for input and tips and he would answer and give me feedback this quickly turned into him being my full on Coach. From my rookie season with very unpleasant placings, working with Andres, slowly started pushing the needle of my placings upward from last callouts to first callouts, being one place away from my Olympia qualification in 2021. I cannot express how well he listens, and takes notes to make sure that all variables are taken care of during prep, and also off-season. My off-season with him was by far the most productive, and the most improvements I have ever made in my bodybuilding career, covering the aspects of training, nutrition, supplementation, and blood panel’s. All of these things has opened me up to a different caliber of athlete. I highly recommend Andres as a coach to anyone, novice intermediate, or advanced to work with him.”
Lamar Shaw, IFBB PRO
"Working with this team has to be the best thing that has happened to me in my bodybuilding career. The care that they have on an individual scale pales in comparison to previous coaches I’ve had! The totality of their work is shown through their sheer efforts of detail and structured planning. From a personal standpoint I can honestly say this the most excited I’ve felt with my coach but also while reaching my goal physique!"
