About

Established in 2013.

Driven by passion, Aesthetic Bodies OC was launched in May of 2013 by Adam at a private gym in Irvine, CA. Prior to the launch, Adam was working at a local commercial gym in the fall of 2012. At the beginning of 2013 was when Adam realized that he wanted to perform better to the needs of his clients by branching out and being an independent trainer.

I have been training with Coach Adam for 7 months. It's been an amazing journey every step of the way... So much that I recruited my partner to join me in this journey as well. I found out about Aesthetic Bodies OC by going down one of those deep dives on IG looking up old classmates/friends from high school that happened to be a former client of Coach Adam's (like "oh i wonder how such and such is doing." LOL I'M A CREEP). I was SO DARN impressed by her results that I followed the Aesthetic Bodies OC IG account. A combination of inconsistency in my workout plan/diet and scouring his IG  to look at other clients' results fueled me to bite the bullet and reach out for his personal training services. It's the best investment I've made for my body and health this year. Prior to training with Coach Adam, I had always been intimidated by the gym. I was one of those people that would steer clear of free weights and machines, only to stick solely to the elliptical. 7 months in, I can confidently say with Coach Adam's guidance and motivation, that is definitely not the case anymore. With the workouts he teaches during our sessions, I can incorporate them into my schedule when I'm on travel. Because of Coach Adam, I'm happy to say I'm one of those people who looks forward to the gym and each training session. Progress aside, I beyond thankful to Coach Adam for always pushing me. Recently, I almost broke out bawling in tears for breaking my PR for hex bar DL from 175lbs to 205lbs. More...

I have been training With Adam since Feb 2019, 2 months after my second baby born. I was FAT, seriously overweight and post pregnancy look. It was never easy to step out the first step especially I haven't trained in a long time. I knew Adam through a very dear friend and I signed up for the free consultation. Adam is professional and loves to share the  workout knowledge. He built up my file, did the assessment.  My goal is to reduce fat And increase lean muscle, and be a physically and mentally stronger woman/mom. I am glad that he is always there to cheer me up and instruct me the most efficient way. In the past 7 months, I lost nearly 30 ponds, the body fat dropped from 31% to 24%.  I know i am still not in the best shape, but i am much much happier than before, and full of energy. I have a stronger will to face any obstacles in life and work.  My skin is glowing  , according to my friend, even I didn't do any Botox. Anyway I am still training with adam and will continue as well. This is not the end of the story. Look forward to seeing the best of me in the near future. More...

My husband and I have been working out with Adam for almost 9 months now. Admittedly, we had reached out to Adam initially because we wanted to lose weight and become toned for our wedding. Not only did Adam help us crush our goal in helping us look and feel our best selves for our big day, he has helped us look at our health and fitness in a more sustainable way. Initially when I used to workout or diet, I was very into fads or quick fixes, and never could find anything that could stick. I was constantly yo-yoing with my weight and I never really enjoyed working out either and felt it more like an obligation. All of this changed after we started spending more time with Adam. We became super informed about nutrition and understood the purpose behind every movement. I consider Adam also a teacher because there is so much to learn from him. He is very knowledgeable about everything! On top of that, Adam has incredible integrity and is one of the hardest working and honest people I know. He has been the best investment to our health and we look forward to seeing him every week. More...

As a former intern for Adam and his business, he has certainly set the standards of a personal trainer. He's a great mentor, coach, and friend who wants the best out of you. He has a lot of strengths when it comes to his profession because he is passionate and dedicated to his career. I've learned how to cue, program, and workout efficiently after several months with working with him. He's knowledgable in what he does which sets him apart from other trainers. He's also a very understanding guy that wants you to succeed in life and fitness. He uses fitness as way of life because he incorporates exercises that are safe and effective to your daily activities. It's hard to meet a guy like him because his interpersonal skills allow him to be one of the best trainers in OC. For whatever your fitness goals are, he will make sure it will happen as long as you're committed in putting in the work. He serious about his profession and if you don't show up with the intention of reaching your fitness goals, don't bother coming in! Overall, a great coach, friend, and mentor. More...

I first met Adam mid 2018 through mutual friends. We had an immediate connection through our respective passions. His understand and passion of fitness was something that spoke to me.  I knew talking to him that when the time was right, I would contact him for personal training.Following him on social media and watching his posts, his explanations of his workouts/stretches, and his form I was more and more convinced. Everything was so precise. His breathing and movements were all so efficient and done with purpose. I wanted to replicate it, I wanted to improve my movements/balance/strength in basketball, I wanted to live fit, not fall to socially accepted "dad bod" . I wanted improve my physique to levels I've never taken it and I knew Adam could help me achieve my goals. I contacted Adam to set up a consultation. Completed his application and contracted his services for 4 months. I think both of us felt confident that I would make considerable progress and gains within that period. If you work with him, he will go through all of the basic form techniques initially and slowly build your knowledge and form based on your level of fitness. Within a few weeks, I started understanding the workouts, lifting heavier, losing weight, and looking in the mirror more. Yeah I said it!!!I have recently completed my 4 months with him. I've went from 12-13% body fat to ~9% body fat, down from 165-170lbs to 145-150lbs, and I've never seen my abs like this before in my life. (I'm 38 years old). The compliments from men and women alike were weekly, if not daily. But now my fitness and physique have become more apart of my identity. I have a new found confidence in myself. I couldn't have gotten here if it weren't for Adam. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is motivated to improve their health and fitness. I've already asked and agreed to continue working with him moving forward. The best investment I've ever made. More...

Coach - an expert who trains someone learning a skill or improving a skill. Adam has been an amazing coach and teacher to me for the past 7 months. He listens, guides, and pushes me to reach my goals. I've been one of those people who wander aimlessly in the gym not knowing what to do. I needed someone who could keep me accountable and teach me the basics. My initial goal with Adam was to lose weight and get stronger, but as I continue my work with Adam, I'm learning that this is not a short term task. It's a lifestyle change that Adam pushes for. It's as simple as "just keep moving."With Adam's guidance, I have added so much more to my workout toolbox. Just when I think things are getting easier, he changes things up! His creativity with the big muscle movements make his workouts engaging and fun. You will definitely leave the gym sweaty!One of the things I look for in a coach is someone who knows my limits better than I do. Adam knows how much to push and how much to back off. I'm surprised at how much stronger I've gotten because he pushed me to pick up weights that are heavier than I would've ever attempted on my own. I've set personal records for myself and am shocked by how much more energy and stamina I have in my daily life since I've started with Adam. Adam has given me the confidence to workout amongst the intimidating weight stacks at the gym. I walk there now with confidence that I can safely and effectively bust out one of his workout routines. I'm taking it one day at a time because change doesn't happen overnight. You know I've made good progress when my super critical Asian mother gives me compliments! Thanks Adam for helping me on this journey! More...

When I first read the reviews here, I was skeptical about all the 5-star ratings. My previous experiences with personal trainers were always monotonous and uninspired. I'd start out motivated and give up after a few months because of non-existent results, injury, or boredom. I couldn't reconcile my previous experiences at other gyms with the ratings other Yelp users were giving this place. Curiosity mandated that I learn more, if only so that I could call BS.After almost 3 months with Adam, I still look forward to going every day. Going to sessions 4 days/week, I started to see and feel results after about a month; however, the most important change for me was in my overall feeling about exercise. In the past, I had never associated gym-based exercise with fun. Adam and the people here make all the difference.Adam has made the most incredible impact on my life. He is passionate, knowledgeable, and motivating providing the tools necessary to ensure you are getting the most out of the time you are putting in. I don't always love how fast our hour goes by, but I'm always thankful for it afterwards when I can feel and see my improvements.Beyond just helping people get in shape, Adam has cultivated a strong sense of community among his clients and members at Next Level Fitness. They have built a big family of people and continue to welcome anyone looking for a place to belong. If you're looking for a gym that is inexpensive and indifferent, but allows you to check off another box in your routine, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a gym that provides a focused, efficient, and deliberate method for getting you in great shape while at the same time keeping things fun and friendly, I highly recommend Adam from Aesthetic Bodies OC.

My official start date with Adam was back on 6/3/14. I have been involved with fitness and working out since 1999-2000. I even had a personal trainer for about 3yrs when I used to live in Arizona before I moved back to California in 2006-2007. I even went through the in home DVD workout phase (P90x back to back) due to pure boredom with routine/same ol same ol workouts at the gym. I was looking for a complete change, something totally different that would allow me to get to a whole new level of fitness. I have definitely gotten that and a whole lot more during these 2 months worth of training.Prior to my official start date, I had a very thorough one-on-one consultation with Adam in which I provided specific detail as to what my goals are and what I am looking to accomplish. Adam is an extremely attentive person and he is super chill and laid back. He keeps it 100% real and authentic at all times, no beating around the bush and sugar coating which is HUGE for me. Adam even took the time to give me a call the night before and provided me with key information such as what type of food scale to buy, downloading the myfitness pal app which I had never even heard of previously, what type of shoes I would need to get in order to achieve the maximum results from each workout, and so much more. Adam just has a way of making you feel at ease and super comfortable regardless of whatever level of fitness you may be at.Adam is like an encyclopedia of non-stop information. I learned more from our phone call and initial consultation that I had ever known previously. Just an example, during our initial consultation, Adam took body measurements from about 6-7 different spots and thoroughly explained the reason behind each measurement. I was under the impression that it was only 3 major spots max.I learned about macros and micros, how to track my calories, fat, carbs, and protein intake through the myfitness pal app. Adam would always stay on top of me, check in with me from time to time and make sure that I was on track. He also had me weight myself at the start of each new week and provide him with the info in order for him to either keep my numbers the same (calories, carbs, protein, and fat) or tweak if necessary. Adam is always available, extremely flexible, and super prompt in getting back to you via text message or a phone call. Adam is extremely organized with his workouts, explains in detail the purpose for each and every single exercise, and has his attention on you at all times to make sure that your form is on point in order to achieve the maximum result from each set/rep.Adam has a unique ability to understand each and every single one of his clients and what each person can or can not do. He knows when to push and when to back off. What he is, is a compassionate, caring, attention to detail, organized, kind, and thorough trainer. Trust me, this guy has the IT factor, he truly gets it and knows what he is doing at all times.Don't get me wrong, he will push you and definitely challenge you to be the best that you can be. I personally like a trainer that is going to challenge me and kick my butt every single time that we workout together.Adam keeps it new and fresh every single time. You will never ever be bored or feel as if you have plateaued. Just when you think you can't do anymore or push any harder, you find yourself getting over each single obstacle and hurdle, the biggest of which is your MIND. That's what I enjoy the most about Adam. He is completely personable, truly goes out of his way for each and every single one of his clients, always has a positive attitude and a smile on his face, so compassionate about what he is doing, and 110% committed and passionate about his craft. If you follow his instructions, do your best each and every single time, truly listen and follow his advice and words of wisdom, be coachable, and watch your numbers - there is absolutely no possible way that you will not get results beyond your wildest dreams.

Where do I even begin with Adam.. He's simply amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I first got introduced to Adam's services through a friend who I noticed was starting to look really fit and transformed before my very eyes. ..and inspired me to want the same for myself. My friend sent me to Adam's yelp page and I decided to pull the trigger and try it out for myself. In the 9 months I've been seeing Adam, I've seen much progress and improvement in myself as I work towards my fitness goals and I certainly have Adam to thank for that. Previously, I would go to the gym (on and off) on my own and tried other coaches/programs in the past but I either (1) didn't see the results I wanted and/or (2) eventually left the gym/coach/program because it eventually proved to be too intense for me and was eventually over it. I'm currently still an active client of Adam's and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon. Adam has a way of challenging you but not in a drill sergeant sort of way; he's encouraging (even though I'm definitely crying on the inside after every session with him... Haha). He holds you accountable. And he takes a holistic approach to your fitness in that your progress doesn't stop at the gym and with what you eat but it's also a mental thing too so he also asks you about the highs/accomplishments you've experienced on anything that day or week to ensure you appreciate and acknowledge the wins similar to the mini wins on your fitness journey. When you first meet with Adam, he gets to know you as far as your goals and where you are from a fitness and nutrition perspective. He also gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you have about fitness in general. He then walks you through his coaching style and begins to teach and explain the game plan on how you'll work together to reach your fitness goal. That's what I really like about Adam from the start... That he really takes his time with you, listens and explains the "why" on what you'll be doing from a fitness perspective (in the gym) and nutrition perspective. For me, I explained to Adam the road blocks and pitfalls I've experienced with other coaches and diet/nutrition plans and he really customized his plan for me so that it's both optimized to reach my own goals but also somewhat modified in a way so that I can more likely stick with. Once you start sessions with Adam, you'll find that he'll challenge you but he understands your limitations (like if you're a novice at the gym for example). But know it won't be easy and will never be "easy" since easy doesn't deliver results but at least Adam will help you through it. I see Adam in semi-private sessions so there are usually about 2-3 other clients in the same session but Adam customizes everyone's plan based on their goals so everyone is doing their own thing. Adam does a great job in balancing his time appropriatly between clients. I'm addition to being a great coach, he's super easy to talk to and has become a great friend! He creates a great environment and provides you all the tools and guidance to reach your goals as long as you do your part in the journey. In summary -- highly recommend. 5 stars. :) More...

I'm one of those people who have a hard time gaining weight, so after years of working out with no results, I found Adam, and I couldn't be happier with what he's helped me accomplish in the past year. It was important to me that my trainer was empathetic of my struggles, and Adam fit the bill!First off, Adam's passion for helping people is palpable. He makes sure to let me know of the small wins that day, and that small wins will eventually lead to a big win. Adam also has a way of pushing you to your physical limits without coming off like a drill sergeant, so don't expect the workout to be easy because you'll only be cheating yourself. I'm always exhausted after a session, and I know it's worth it in the end. He's also smart and informative about nutrition and makes sure that I'm getting the right balance of macros and calories to reach my goal. On top of that, he's a great conversationalist, so it feels like you're working out with a friend instead of a trainer. Every session is customized and different, so I'm continually learning new ways to work out, which keeps things fresh. He also never has more than 4 clients working out at the same time together, so it truly feels like a PERSONAL training. Each month, Adam does a weigh-in and measurements, so I'm able to track my progress with concrete numbers and stats. With Year 1 down, I can proudly say that I've gained almost 20 pounds of (mostly) muscle, and I'm slowly getting used to compliments and people calling me a snack :P I can't recommend Adam enough to help you through your fitness goals!

My wife signed me with Adam for a Father's day gift. I was very skeptical at first and it turned out to be the best gift I ever received. I had always thought that I knew how to work out and all I needed was some motivation to go to the gym. Boy, I was really wrong. After years of improper training and long hours of sitting in front of a computer, I have developed bad posture and muscle imbalance.  Adam was a life savior. He developed custom workouts to help me with my back and to gain functional strength. I originally signed up for 3 months, and soon changed my commitment to a year. After 10 months, I see change in my posture and huge transformation in my body. I feel good about myself both physically and mentally. I used find excuses to not go to gym, now I look forward to working out with Adam every week.If you are serious about finding a trainer, I highly highly recommend Adam. In addition to being knowledgeable, motivational, patient and caring for his clients, Adam is a true professional. He is always working on his craft, reading new books, and doing whatever it takes to improve his knowledge, communication and leadership. I can tell Adam has worked really hard to become who he is today and that is the type of trainer whom I trust. More...

I decided that i needed a change. Fat me decided to reach out to Adam on Instagram. Reaching out for a consultation was the hard part for me, the consultation/interview was very welcoming and informative.  From Day 1, Adam has been informative and laid out a workout plan due to my shoulder and back injuries. He explained and demonstrated workouts to me that will assist me with muscle growth and grip strength. Due to having rotator cuff surgery on my should a few years ago, my mobility has never been close to 100 percent. We work on mobility and strengthening. The work he does goes beyond just a gym session. He follows up with me weekly to assist me with nutritional and dieting tips.

I train with Adam and my friend twice a week and it's the something I look forward to after a long day at work. Adam is responsive, positive and passionate about fitness and nutrition! He fosters a positive environment through his actions and words. He is also patient and attentive in being a hands on coach with providing guidance in correcting my form and also explaining what we are doing when doing a specific exercise. In the past 3 months that we have trained together, I am down 9% body fat and 6lbs in body weight. Prior to training with Adam, I was trying to lose weight on my own, but knew that it was time for a change when I had not seen progress over several months. I completed 10 sessions of personal training at 24 Hour Fitness, but found myself bored due to the repetitiveness of the same arm, leg, and core routine each week (often the change was in the reps and weights). I also wanted to find someone who could also help me with my nutrition and also challenge me to step outside of my comfort zone. After talking to Adam during our consultation, I knew that he would be the best resource in helping me to get back in shape. Thank you Adam for helping me get leaner & stronger and also educating me about nutrition when I thought eating too much fruit would be bad! I would have never tried pulls ups or the squat rack on my own, but am excited of the progress that we have had together! More...

Typical story: used to be super active in high school early college then the adulting stressors and excuses set it. Went to the gym here and there but nothing consistent. When I get engaged, that's when I was "motivated" to start. Bring in Adam - I let him know that losing weight was an added plus but my primary goal was to fix my posture. He was completely honest; losing the weight will be about 6 months but the posture was going to take 8-12mo at least. Currently 3 months in, I have lost 7% body fat! & the shoulder and lower back pain I used to have from sitting all day at work is no longer persistently present. I'm currently able to fit dresses I haven't been able to squeeze into for the last two years! I want to say it's because I'm such a hard worker and made all those huge changes to committing to this healthier lifestyle but that definitely did not happen. I do make more conscious decisions about what I eat and make an effort to hit the gym outside of my training BUT it is mainly due to the fact that Adam is such a great resource even when I'm not in his presence. His knowledge, commitment and support is extremely humbling and I'm eternally grateful for him and this experience. More...

I found Adam through my boyfriend who interned for him. He suggested I should give Adam a try and see how I would like it. At first I wasn't all about the idea since I workout on my own at the gym and thought to myself "eh I already know how to workout I don't really need a trainer" but I was WRONG! I definitely needed a trainer. Before Adam, I would go to 24 hour fitness and just wing it with my workouts (so bad, I know). I never really pushed myself or found the motivation. I felt like I was stagnant and there wasn't really progression. But once I started training with Adam, I definitely saw results and felt so much better about working out. I want to start off by saying Adam is not only motivating and knowledgeable, but he is passionate about his work, clients, and their progress which makes me feel confident about his services. Adam really pushes you in workouts and I would always feel so beat and tired after every workout but in a good way! I was challenged and pushed to my potential and it's exactly what I needed. I have never been personally trained before but I'm glad Adam was my first coach! The gym location is convenient, right off the exit by the 55 freeway. Also, the parking at the gym is great since there are a lot of spaces. Although the gym is fairly small,  Adam manages to work around it when it gets packed. Working at this gym is completely different from any 24 hour fitness. How? Well the music is a plus (I think the trainers choose the playlists- they know what gets you pumped!) and the atmosphere is great. The trainers and employees that work there are nice and friendly. You can tell that everyone loves being there whether if they're training, working, or working out. Overall, I definitely recommend Adam as your go-to guy. If you are deciding what trainer will help you see results, feel better, and improve your health, choose Adam! More...

I train with Adam and my friend twice a week and it's the something I look forward to after a long day at work. Adam is responsive, positive and passionate about fitness and nutrition! He fosters a positive environment through his actions and words. He is also patient and attentive in being a hands on coach with providing guidance in correcting my form and also explaining what we are doing when doing a specific exercise. In the past 3 months that we have trained together, I am down 9% body fat and 6lbs in body weight.  Prior to training with Adam, I was trying to lose weight on my own, but knew that it was time for a change when I had not seen progress over several months. I completed 10 sessions of personal training at 24 Hour Fitness, but found myself bored due to the repetitiveness of the same arm, leg, and core routine each week (often the change was in the reps and weights). I also wanted to find someone who could also help me with my nutrition and also challenge me to step outside of my comfort zone.  After talking to Adam during our consultation, I knew that he would be the best resource in helping me to get back in shape. Thank you Adam for helping me get leaner & stronger and also educating me about nutrition when I thought eating too much fruit would be bad! I would have never tried pulls ups or the squat rack on my own, but am excited of the progress that we have had together! More...

Typical story: used to be super active in high school early college then the adulting stressors and excuses set it. Went to the gym here and there but nothing consistent. When I get engaged, that's when I was "motivated" to start. Bring in Adam - I let him know that losing weight was an added plus but my primary goal was to fix my posture. He was completely honest; losing the weight will be about 6 months but the posture was going to take 8-12mo at least. Currently 3 months in, I have lost 7% body fat! & the shoulder and lower back pain I used to have from sitting all day at work is no longer persistently present. I'm currently able to fit dresses I haven't been able to squeeze into for the last two years! I want to say it's because I'm such a hard worker and made all those huge changes to committing to this healthier lifestyle but that definitely did not happen. I do make more conscious decisions about what I eat and make an effort to hit the gym outside of my training BUT it is mainly due to the fact that Adam is such a great resource even when I'm not in his presence. His knowledge, commitment and support is extremely humbling and I'm eternally grateful for him and this experience. More...

Signing up with Adam was the best decision i made in my life, i was so heavy into fitness i really became unmotivated as i was completely clueless as to where to begin my fitness journey again, I'd walk into gym and have no idea where to begin! I reached out to Adam and he has helped me tremendously in such a short period of time, i feel motivated, encouraged to  continue and get my body right again and  also learning what works best for my body. Adam is such a great guy he is patient yet pushes you to give it your all and most importantly he is so professional and knowledgable(TRAIN WITH TRAINER WHO TRAIN), in only three months i lost almost 30 pounds and im still  losing and getting my body in shape!Also i like the gym, has all equipments that are needed to perform multi  exercises that  you may not be finding or able to do them in normal gyms!! Clean and convenient hours, and a nice location,On top of that he is so friendly and  respectful and so serious when the session starts trying his best to make you benefit in each minute you spend it with him till your session ends. I highly recommend training with Adam as he is so serious in helping you reaching your goal, he will give you the right motivation and instruction to make you reach the body shape you want in a very short time.

Working with Adam is great! I went to ABOC because I didn't really know what I was doing in the gym. For about a year I had been just wandering around using different machines, making half hearted attempts to follow various recommendations I'd found online. Basically spending a whole lot of time doing nothing. Adam came up with a program to build my foundation for strength training. He's very thorough and puts a lot of emphasis on good form. The workouts are HARD, but it's a lot of fun and there's good variety. I usually left his sessions a sweaty mess. I typically worked out in the evening during the week, but he has a lot of time slots.I went to ABOC twice a week for about 5 months. In that time I managed to make great progress on a recomp, losing 8.7 pounds of fat while gaining 3.3 pounds of muscle, which you can see from the attached before/after DEXA scan. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who wants to get serious and learn how to actually work out. More...

When I first read the reviews here, I was skeptical about all the 5-star ratings. My previous experiences with personal trainers were always monotonous and uninspired. I'd start out motivated and give up after a few months because of non-existent results, injury, or boredom. I couldn't reconcile my previous experiences at other gyms with the ratings other Yelp users were giving this place. Curiosity mandated that I learn more, if only so that I could call BS.After almost 3 months with Adam, I still look forward to going every day. Going to sessions 4 days/week, I started to see and feel results after about a month; however, the most important change for me was in my overall feeling about exercise. In the past, I had never associated gym-based exercise with fun. Adam and the people here make all the difference.Adam has made the most incredible impact on my life. He is passionate, knowledgeable, and motivating providing the tools necessary to ensure you are getting the most out of the time you are putting in. I don't always love how fast our hour goes by, but I'm always thankful for it afterwards when I can feel and see my improvements.Beyond just helping people get in shape, Adam has cultivated a strong sense of community among his clients and members at Next Level Fitness. They have built a big family of people and continue to welcome anyone looking for a place to belong. If you're looking for a gym that is inexpensive and indifferent, but allows you to check off another box in your routine, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a gym that provides a focused, efficient, and deliberate method for getting you in great shape while at the same time keeping things fun and friendly, I highly recommend Adam from Aesthetic Bodies OC.

Anybody can direct you and tell you what to do at the gym but Adam goes above and beyond, coming up with personalized workouts made to fit YOUR goals. I remember seeing another client run on the treadmill and I asked him, "Why don't you ever make me do that?" He said, "Because losing fat isn't your your primary goal, your goal is to build lean muscle mass so we're going to be working with weights to help you achieve that." He really listens to you and is passionate about helping you reach your goals. He celebrates small achievements while working towards bigger ones. Just when I think I'm done, he always shows me that I'm capable of so much more.

Never in my life had I thought I was capable of doing half the things I accomplished while training with Adam. I came to him overweight and out of shape. At 35 years old, 5'3, and 170 lbs, I could not do a single lunge or squat to save my life. A brisk walk of 3.5 speed on the treadmill had me out of breathe. I needed to do something about it and fast. I came across Adam's glowing reviews and reached out. I had reached out to several trainers but his rhetoric, approach, and coaching style was like no other. He was honest and open about the journey I was about to take and made sure that I was truly committed to making changes in my lifestyle. He didn't ask for too much. He showed me how slightly tweaking my diet to be healthier while still enjoying the foods I love, would help me reach my goals without feeling deprived. He personally went grocery shopping with me. The workouts were challenging in a motivating and uplifting kind of way. I didn't think I could push weighted sleds or flip tires; as daunting as these may sound for a newbie like me, I can't even begin to describe the changes in my mentality, giving me a sense of accomplishment and the changes in my definition of my ideal body. I felt stronger and more agile than I had ever felt in my life. His methods are tried and true and were custom fit for me. He was patient and understanding. I respect him so much that I didn't want to let him down. Adam was truly dedicated to helping me reach my goals and this was clearly shown in his genuine care for myself and all his clients.

Before I started with Adam, my main goal was to just look better. I only cared about losing fat, gaining muscle and just "looking better".

It's not just about being strong but, feeling good mentally.His program promotes healthy eating and his workouts focus on movement. He's friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. It's easy for a coach to just train you and not think twice about you after you leave the gym. Not with Adam. He'll check up on you and ask you if your meeting your weekly goals.He says it's not about what you do when you're r training with him, it's what you do when you're training alone.

I had gone to Adam to prepare for my wedding this year and I had no idea where to begin. It had been a long time since I had last been in the gym, so needless to say I was very intimidated. The minute I sat down with Adam, my nerves were eased. Adam is incredibly smart and knowledgeable about fitness and health. He broke everything down in very simple terms for me to understand, and his way of working is very approachable and helpful. His workouts always left me incredibly sore all the way until our next session- which I love! I could feel my body getting much stronger and looking more toned as I continued to work with him. He helped me gain the confidence to workout on my own and understand how to maximize my routines for my body. In addition to this, Adam is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet!

This is my first strength training personal trainer. I started out with the goal to get more "fit" & healthier. This trainer came recommended to me by 2 good associates of mine, I was impressed with how they had healthier physiques and exceeded their own personal goals so I decided to give Adam a try. I was intimidated to lift heavy weights and I had a knowledge deficit of what a decent gym work out was. I consider myself active. I road cycle 25 miles to the backbay/hills about twice a month, I sign up for fun runs with friends, I enjoy being outdoors and varying my personal workouts from bar method, to Hautte Room, and gym. HOWEVER. My gym and weight/strength training was sub par from my limited background. This trainer is very patient. Very particular about making sure your form and safety is in check before progressing you further. He is constantly striving for modifications that work for your individual needs. He spots you, he analyzes your movements. He makes sure your posture and muscles targeted are activated. He explains and effectively demonstrates the sets. He is focused- and professional about scheduling. He is eager to be professionally invested in his clients, and he is dedicated to professional advancement because he has certifications in personal training and nutrition. As long as you are open minded to learning and getting feedback, he is a great resource to pick his brain about fit tips & healthy sources of nutrition. He works with your personal intake goals- he will work with whatever type of foodie you are (vegetarian, etc). There were times i felt defeated about not having as good a baseline for working out- and he never made me feel bad about where I was at. He kept redirecting my thought process to being positive about making progress even if it was small & that I would get there so long as I was patient and consistent. I feel as though because of our partnership, not only have I progressed further than my personal goal- I want to push myself physically more now that I am gaining a good basis of how to do workouts. And it was pretty awesome when we do the monthly measurements (he measures your arms/thigh/waist/chest and weight) and I see an improvement, he is equally as stoked as you when he sees your achievements. His variations and modifications keep the workouts from being boring. And he ALWAYS re evaluates your confidence level. Which i truly appreciate because some workouts look intimidating, they feel challenging but he wants them to be achievable to do. And will work with you to go from beginner level to intermediate to advanced as you progress. Just when i think i figured something out, he adds weight and modification to dial up the fitness challenge.I highly recommend Aesthetic Bodies especially for people who don't think they can or should lift weights (due to lack of experience) because at the end, you DO lift weights and he makes certain you walk away knowing how to do so safely and efficiently for personal physical growth. He is eager to see you meet your goal and at the end, he is a really good cheerleader/motivator to get to that goal. He has a great attitude. He doesn't yell or belittle you, he uses firm guidance and a steady hand in a zen-like sifu master approach. That far exceeded my expectation because I just wanted to work out and get fit- but after close to 6 months with him, I have gained a better level of understanding of what it takes to get a solid challenging workout for results. And i feel like there is still a lot more I can learn, and he is a solid coach to learn from. More...

Adam is by far the best coach I've ever had.  I was able to gain 6lbs of muscles in 2 months while maintaining my body fat all thanks to Adam's custom program for me. I'm now confident to go off on my own knowing that my technique and form is correct. Thanks again Adam for being a great coach! Wish I could give you 10 stars! More...

I've heard about Adam from some of my friends who've trained with him and had gotten great results so I had to check it out for myself. Working an 8 hour shift everyday at the office leaves me exhausted and all I want to do when I get home is lay down and watch Netflix. I would tell myself "I'll just go to the gym tomorrow", and months went by without exercising. I had gained 7 pounds from eating out all the time and not hitting the gym. I knew I had to make a change so I picked up the phone to schedule my consultation.Right when I walked in I was welcomed warmly by Adam and we went over all of my daily habits, including my commute, how long I'm in my chair at work, etc. He was very thorough in his explanations of what areas to work on for my body. For example, he showed me certain back exercises to combat the bad posture I had from sitting at a desk all day.Some highlights of Aesthetic Bodies:*Convenient location, right next to major freeways by John Wayne*Plentiful parking*Specialized equipment you won't find at commercial gyms*Great atmosphere, music playing to pump everyone up*Very professional and skilled - he had a great knowledge of fitness and answered any and all questions I had*Flexible scheduling to accommodate you, from early mornings to late nights*Nutrition and fitness materials provided to apply his workouts on your own terms*If you can't afford a one-on-one, then there is an option to do semi-private workouts for a lower cost, and you'll have a workout buddy as well!The most significant aspect of training with Adam is his passion - you can really feel that he wants you to be the best version of yourself and achieve your body goals. He's not one of those trainers that just stands there and tells you what to do and goes on to the next step until you're done with the workout. He's very involved and is always checking up to see how you feel, if you have any questions, etc. I felt very comfortable working with him and I learned a lot of new exercises that I can't wait to apply at my apartment gym! If you're looking to really make a change in your health and physique, this is the place to go. Make that investment in yourself, it'll be worth every penny once you get the results you always wanted! More...

I've been working out for a long time and make a point of staying in shape year in and year out as a lifestyle choice. I have educated myself on how to go about it and work hard to continue to achieve this goal. As you might imagine, there are highs and lows as work, family, injury and other priorities sometimes take precedence. I've stayed committed and never let setbacks get in the way for too long. I'm proud to say results have been decent even though it's never easy to maintain fitness long term. Recently I started working with Adam of Aesthetic Bodies OC and things have taken a turn for the better. It definitely hasn't gotten any easier but for the little extra effort I've invested I'm already being rewarded with much better results. If you ever considered getting a trainer but didn't because you thought it would be a waste of time and money, then you might want to reconsider. Adam is enthusiastic about fitness and provides a lot of individual attention to ensure you remain on track to reach the goals that you decide are important to you at the onset. It's nice to work with a professional who takes your fitness very seriously but I think what I've benefited the most from is his deep knowledge of subject. Sure I know I thing or two myself, but his intimate understanding of how your body reacts to exercise and dietary changes is proving invaluable. The other thing I really like is the way his approach to diet adapts to my preferences, tastes and lifestyle. I can literally eat whatever I want, whenever I want as long as I make adjustments so that my overall intake is within my plan. This is what has helped me to loose 15 pounds already while building muscle. I also realized for the first time that my ideal weight may be a bit lower than I previously imagined. I could have dedicated tons of my own time and effort and never have achieved what I have already with Adam in just a short time. More...

Have you ever planned to go to the gym, but then last minute say "Maybe tomorrow"? If yes, then you NEED a personal trainer. I have trained with Adam for 4 months, and believe he is one of the most experienced and committed trainer. I started training twice a week, as part of a group session, and I really enjoyed the variety and challenge he put into the sessions. Adam focused on helping me achieve my goals which were to lose weight, gain strength and endurance, and manage stress. In just a short time with him, my fitness has increased noticeably and I've seen improvements in my ability to sustain longer planks, gain higher elevation and longer distances during hikes and backpacks, lift heavier weights, and most importantly for me, have a better POSTURE. I find I look forward to my workouts and even now that I am unable to train with him, I miss it! I must be a glutton for punishment because his sessions were challenging (and fun).As far as personality goes, I found that Adam is extremely down-to-earth. He's outgoing and personable. Any question you have he is more than willing to guide and give you insight about health and fitness. He shows you how to live your life better by giving you tips and examples for things like easy on-the-go meals, habits to combat laziness, and utilizing a positive outlook about yourself or managing your sleep.If I could continue my personal training with Adam, I would do it indefinitely. But if you're not like me and have to commute far, take advantage of his services and seek him out. I thoroughly enjoyed working out with Adam, and would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness. More...

For anyone who has ever felt unmotivated, insecure, or just uneducated about how to get fit and love the body you're in, you MUST seek out Adam! I just started lift weights this past year, and though I've made large gains, I wasn't seeing the results that I wanted for the amount of time that I was putting in the gym. I knew it was time to seek out help. After a short session, Adam was able to understand what my goals were, offer better techniques and detailed for correction, and definitely saved me from almost certain injury! Everything this man says has purpose and reason! No joke after a couple sessions my deadlift grew by 40lbs!Adam has an expansive wealth of knowledge about gaining strength, losing body fat, and getting shredded (like serious just look at this dude)!! He also is incredibly helpful in modifying work outs to assist in rehab/strengthening targeted areas. I had two ailing  and weak wrists and he provided tons of helpful exercises help me out. Above all the coaching and training, you can tell Adam has a huge heart for his clients. He loves posting videos and photos of his clients and their massive progress. You can tell seeing his clients and friends progress is the most fulfilling thing for him  He was always available for questions about what to eat or how I should modify my diet via text/ email and responds super quick (and usually with funny + witty gifs). Adam is the beast you want in your corner. Pushing, coaching, and encouraging you to your goals. If you're on the fence about if you need coaching just spend 1 session with him. It'll change your whole perspective on getting fit!! More...
