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 have been a client of Adams for about 3-4 months now. I attend 2 sessions a week after work.  this review has been long overdue probably due to my constant battle from dieting. hahaha, jokes aside.After a vacation to Asia, constant binge eating and drinking. 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. If you are looking for a trainer that has true passion in this field and experience, then you should definitely contact him for a consultation. "IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!" More...

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...

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...

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.

If you would've asked me 6 months ago if I wanted to go work out, I would've said HA, NO. Hard pass. Thanks but no thanks. Skrttt skrttt. SEE YA BYEEE. No kidding, that was exactly how I felt about the gym. Well, I got tired of feeling that way. I knew that in order to get what I want, I had to WORK for it. My only problem was that I didn't know how. The gym was intimidating, I've never picked up weights, and the machines were my only friends (or more like acquaintances you know but don't really say hi to). Then enters Adam.There's a reason why Adam has 5 stars on Yelp. He is the REAL DEAL. 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. He is truly dedicated to his craft and I couldn't have been happier with him as my coach.To anybody looking into personal training, it is WORTH IT. Especially with a trainer like Adam. Sure, it's not the cheapest thing in the world but it's an investment. In these short 6 months, I've learned way more from Adam than I could ever learn from YouTube videos or IG posts. Not only did I gain a lot of knowledge about fitness and health, but I also gained a friend in Adam! 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. I'm extremely thankful for all his help in my fitness journey. More...

This review is premature as I signed up for six months with Adam and am only at the three month mark, but I can't resist adding my review and 5 stars now!  3 months in and I'm down 30 lbs!!!!  This would have never been possible without coach Adam!I am a police officer and my job relies on my fitness.  I have had several injuries (2 knee surgeries, a bad back from years of wearing a heavy gun belt, constant elbow pain, etc, etc), and he worked around these injuries towards my improvement.  I can do exercises I never thought I would be able to do, even with these past injuries.I had the typical excuses: a wife, 3 kids, a wacky work schedule and life in general.  I finally realized I needed to hire somebody and boy did I make the right choice.  I needed to do something for me for once and boy what an experience.  Talk about having fun and having positive results at the same time!  His 80/20 rule regarding clients' diet is totally manageable!  I never feel as if I'm missing out.  He has taught me how to eat within reason and plan for outings where I know I will indulge and drink Adam's passion for his clients' success is tangible!  I will periodically text Coach Adam various questions about work outs, shoes, diet, etc. and he never fails to respond with an extremely detailed and knowledgeable response!I've felt the best, both physically and mentally, than I have in several years.  He's constantly pushing you, and, all the while, being friendly and respectful!  I was intimated going to a personal trainer but he has made my fear disappear and now I am constantly looking forward to how many days until he trains me again!  Do yourself a favor, sign up and experience the physical and mental improvement in your life!  This experience, for me, truly has been an experience of a lifetime!  There's a reason he has 5 stars with so many reviews!Thank you, Coach Adam!

I stopped training with Adam about 2 months ago and I miss him and his coaching so much! Where do i start?Adam is such a great trainer. He is super motivational and always pushed me to my fullest potential. He focuses on getting you stronger, mentally and physically! I had dislocated my knee 2 years ago and was scared to do lunges again as I would always have pain. During our first session, Adam got me to do lunges without that much pain. He made sure that my knee was ok in every exercise we do. I've made some new friends over the 6 months as well which is another plus. Also learned new workouts that I do at the gym by myself. However, I realllllly miss the hip thruster and doing pull ups with Adam. Do yourself a favor and hire Adam as your trainer! More...

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". After a few sessions and many conversations with Adam, I found my mindset shifting from wanting to "look better" to "how do I feel". He changed how viewed fitness. 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. It's what you do when you're looking in your fridge with no one watching. Are you going to eat that cake or are you going to stick to your plan? This guy is a true professional through and through.

Adam is by far the best trainer I've come across. They guy is very dedicated to his craft of helping you achieve your body goals. I've been a yo yo dieter and workout junkie without seeing any real meaningful results. Adam is the first trainer I've had who has gone on a grocery haul with me and showed me how to read and pick quality foods that I enjoy but also keep my goals in mind. Adam places a heavy emphasis on mobility and body mechanics that will change the way you lift. His attention to detail and ability to teach and motivate is second to non. I highly recommend him as a trainer especially if you have never trained with a professional. You'll be glad you did. I'm currently deadlifting 405lbs(never in a million years did I think I could do that) and working on my dream body. More...

Been training with Adam for about three months now and wow his knowledge about fitness is amazing! When you train with him he puts all his attention on you and really focuses on the goal you want to achieve. He is a really cool guy, easy to talk to and has a unique training philosophy that would really put your body to work. If you are really dedicated to fitness and want to see improvements quickly, I really recommend training with Adam. More...

Package: 2 sessions per week, 4 months (started in May 2018).Reason:-Birthday gift to myself.-Improve my physique to obtain revenge body. Program Goal:-Reveal more definition, such as lowering body fat percentage.-Increase strength in functional movements.Objective Results:-Baseline body fat percentage: 10.7%-Post program body fat percentage: 6.5%Program Commentaries:-I started my fitness journey in 2008, which includes training independently, with friends/significant others, and even hired a trainer before. I typically was at the gym 6-7 days per week for about 1.5 to 2 hours each day. Those years and effort combined could not compare to what Adam has helped me achieve in just only 4 months.-Instead of fitting me to a cookie-cutter program, Adam took the time to understand who I am, what I was after, and what I was capable of in order to structure the most effective and efficient program for me. This process exemplifies his ability to produce success in the fitness industry.-My weekly fitness routine consisted of 2 sessions per week with Adam, and 1 or 2 sessions independently (mainly indoor cycling and simple weight lifting workouts). I got back a lot of free time compared to my previous 6-7 days per week, and was able to invest time into relaxing and traveling the world.-My diet consisted of eating under 2000 calories, which was not difficult to adjust to. I counted calories the first few weeks into the program, and then discontinued counting because I was able to visualize my meals with a caloric value.Closing Remarks:-Adam is the best workout partner/friend/coach that I've always wanted. He is very knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology, extremely approachable, and accommodating to my busy schedule.-I highly recommend hiring Adam if you want to reach your fitness goals.-I signed up with Adam for an additional 6 months because I want to keep progressing towards my future fitness goals.Next Goal: Savage Revenge Body.

I would give Aesthetic Bodies OC 10 stars if I could! If you are considering getting a fitness trainer- look no further than Adam. 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! He makes you feel so comfortable and is extremely motivating. He was so accommodating to my busy schedule, and really showed me how to enjoy working out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone and everyone looking to get serious about their fitness. You won't regret it! More...

I've been training with Adam for a couple months now. I work in the fitness industry and interact with many fitness trainers. In comparison, Adam is an exceptional trainer in his coaching method and professionalism. His passion to help people is what really sets him apart. The value I get from Adam is far more than what I pay for. I always feel like I am treating myself when I go in for my workout. I become more motivated after I meet with Adam. I felt that each session was catered to my fitness goals and needs.I could go on and on but once you meet Adam for a consultation you will know why everyone recommends him. More...

Adam is so amazing to work with! I have a crazy work schedule and he is super accommodating with that! I've been working out on my own for years and decided to finally get a trainer to help me prep for my wedding day. I worked out with him twice a week and he encouraged me to workout on my own and eat right! Whenever I had a question on what to eat/what smoothies tastes good with what, etc. he would always respond with a super positive attitude! While we worked out he taught me how I could workout on my own/what combos I should do together! On my wedding day, I felt super confident wearing my satin dress! Adam is the best! :) I have nooooo regrets! I still train with him even after my wedding! More...
