I was seeking a personal trainer to get back in shape after my pregnancy. I'm the type of person that rarely goes to the gym because I find it intimidating and I don't like working out in front of other people. When I do go to the gym, I always need a buddy so I thought why not get a personal trainer as a buddy? I also needed someone there to push me past my limits, plus I have absolutely no knowledge regarding fitness and nutrition. I found Adam by surfing through Yelp and he was listed as one of the top trainers in the Irvine area. I was also very impressed with the results of his other clients, so I decided to contact him. We had an initial consultation where we discussed my goals and he answered any questions/concerns I had. After the consultation, I was sold. Adam was intimidating at first, but his knowledge and professionalism led me to quickly sign on as his client, knowing I had found the right trainer. Adam really looks out for his clients' best interest. He is so invested in each client that YOUR SUCCESS=HIS SUCCESS. He is very meticulous when he trains you and he'll correct you on your form right then and there if he sees something wrong. Not only does he know exactly how to target each muscle group, but he is also very knowledgeable about nutrition. He uses a science-based approach that does not limit the types of food you can eat. If you're really committed to achieving the results you want, Adam will be flexible with you and I value that, especially because I already have such a hectic schedule. He has helped me obtain an overall healthier lifestyle and a more positive outlook on working out and I can't thank him enough for that. There are so many reasons why Adam is such an amazing trainer. He is extremely dedicated to his work and clients. His passion and drive is contagious and it motivates you to achieve the results you strive for. He is highly educated on his craft and he provides his knowledge for you to achieve maximum results. What I like most about Adam's methods is that you are not restricted to a certain diet and you get a variety of workouts during each session. I now thoroughly enjoy working out and can confidently step into a gym and feel like I'm doing something right. I highly recommend Adam to anyone who is looking for a top notch trainer that will give you his all, takes no excuses, and pushes your buttons in a good way. read more

I'd like to consider that I have a fairly solid foundation of knowledge when it comes to general fitness and I have been lifting weight for personal development since roughly 2007. Hitting plateaus was a normal occurrence that I have learned to accept on the journey towards maintaining a healthy fit lifestyle and I definitely hit a huge one before I started getting coaching from Adam at ABOC. The result that I made from July-Oct of following Adam's guidance was roughly the loss of around 13 lbs which is an awesome weight loss that I could not have generated by myself if I did not seek out a coach to keep me on the track to success. Adam was able to get into my brain and pick at what I knew and go from there. At first I thought it was going to be repetitive information that I already knew like overall nutrition, specific weight lifting programs, etc, but what I loved most about working with him is his precision usage of VERY easy to understand spreadsheets and methodologies to track my progress and keep me en route to continue my progress day by day. Overall my favorite aspect besides the weight loss of course was his incredible dedication to his craft and his clients and the EASE of communication we had with each other. He never once appeared intimidating to me but also had the right enough pressure as my coach to not let him down because he did not want me to let myself down from my goals. Let Adam and ABOC take care of you because I promise you that you sure as hell will have no other option than getting what you want once he is committed to you. read more

Professional Last year 2013 I was approaching my diet/cut (dropping from 150lb down to 135lb) by the typical bro science way causing my metabolic capacity to go down the drain. As sad as I got after my diet due to my strength going down, i packed on 20lbs no problem in a couple of months. Barley realizing my sister's wedding was around the corner beginning of 2014, I was pretty fluffy and decided I need drop a couple pounds for my sister's big day. Now with a New resolution goal, I stumbled upon Adam's instagram and saw his mind blowing transformation dropping 30lb's in a matter of months with minimal cardio. Right away, I had to figure out his secret. So I contacted Adam and we met, did our consultation and introduced me to Flexible Dieting. Now you may ask what is "Flexible dieting?"Proven by science, Flexible dieting is a way of dieting based off of tracking macronutrients while being in either a caloric deficit or surplus depending on what your goal's are. At first it seemed complicated, but with Adam's guidance and monitoring my daily caloric intakes it became a breeze. He adjusts my caloric intakes every week, and does daily check ups on me by through text. How professional is that?! This just shows how much he cares about his clients and doesn't blow them off like how some other money hungry nutrition coaches are. Was I miserable through my diet? HELL NO, I actually enjoyed it! I've been dieting for about 23 weeks now and I'm down 15lbs of BODY FAT! Words can't describe how awesome it is to have abs after being so fluffy your entire life. So if anyone is looking to drop body fat WHILE building lean body mass, Adam is the guy to go to. He will teach you the secrets of flexible dieting where you'll be able to enjoy your slice of pizza without feeling guilty AND no endless cardio. read more

Adam is the man!!!! I came in to lose a simple 10lbs of nasty fat, but ended up leaving with my entire life transformed for the better. This guy is not only energetic, optimistic, and in super good shape himself - he is caring and will listen to every single one of your needs. He takes his time with you and he cares about your progress. No bad experiences here. 5 out of 5 stars no problem for Adam. Highly recommended. read more

Look no further to get started on your fitness goals. This is the best place to start and actually see results. I hired Adam as my personal trainer so he could help me and my GF learn how to be able to exercise together. Couples that train together stay together and live a better, happier, fit and healthy lifestyle. I say this from experience. At first I thought it was going to be hard but Adam made it really easy and showed us that we could do it with a variety of excersises that work for the both of us. The gym is very spacious and has all the equipment needed to get the right workout done day in and day out. Since we worked out at the crack of dawn, the Gym owner Dave would always give us a warm and high energy welcome. Sometimes we even wondered how it was possible to have so much energy in the morning. As we continued going it was one of the many highlights that would give us that immediate spark and motivation in the morning.To top it off there's a motivational quote written up that we could always tie in to our rest of our day that we would read on our way out. You will never feel uncomfortable because the staff is always friendly. Our daily workouts consisted of a mixture of free weights, weight machines, and cardio; so always stay on your toes. I highly recommend you try it out. Adam will challenge you and push you to get better and will always have a new excersise up his sleeve. He knows what he is doing! Just look at him and at his clients pictures. Results!!!! read more

I've been training with Adam for about 6 months with the training schedule at about 4 days a week and I have definitely noticed the results. I went from 130 pounds to 140 pounds through his training regiment and nutritional advice. Disclaimer: His workout routine is going to kick your butt. Seriously. But if you're not willing to push yourself to a new standard of growth, why bother even trying. There is no such thing as an easy workout, and that is exactly what I needed. He will not only motivate you to work harder, but make you realize that the true desire to change comes from within. Through Adam's coaching, I look and feel stronger than I ever have before. His monitoring of my meals and breakdown of the essential macros aid in the overall sculpting of my physique. If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done. I have to admit, without having him monitor my workout and eating habits, I probably would have cheated myself. Having a personal trainer keeps me accountable, and Adam excels at pushing me to new heights. read more

My dad is 58 years old and really wanted to try out a personal trainer because he wanted to get healthier and stronger. My sister recommended Adam since she has been working out with him for two months and was getting amazing results. AlI I can say is that Adam is an incredible trainer for my dad! I was surprised at how much his energy level and body changed so quickly. He started off with no prior weight lifting experience, and Adam gradually improved his weights and technique over time. Soon after he started, my mom and his friends were telling him that he looked much younger than his age and his face looked way more refreshed. He definitely feels like a changed person and likes that he is much stronger now. Definitely recommend Adam to train for a person of any age. Thank you for helping my dad out Adam!! read more

Adam is a great coach and personal motivator! I came to Adam months before my wedding to get in shape and lose a little bit of stagnant weight I couldn't get rid of. Training with Adam helped me reach my goal and much more! This is not a weight loss program but a way of life and new mindset. I've learned so much about health and fitness with Adam. I trained twice a week and logged my calories everyday. I'm a total food junkie and I thought it would be impossible for me, but Adam taught me how to make smart choices and still be able to eat the food I love!! That's the best part, eat my ice cream and still look fit and feel great, I'm totally for that!!! (Not a gimmick either, I truly still ate chips and ice cream!) I made smart choices to cut things that weren't necessary in order to indulge once in a while in my favorite foods. Adam truly cares about the work he does and enjoys sharing his knowledge. He's great at molding the training to each client and adjusting where it is needed. I started out with really bad exercised induced asthma, but the more I trained the better my lung capacity and breathing became. Adam knew when to back off a little to let my breathing catch up and when to push me. I never thought I would ever flip tires and lift weights and still have fun doing it! If you have a goal to reach, Adam will help you get there! Why not have fun while you become a healthier you! Train with Adam and you won't regret it. Thanks Adam for the motivation to become a stronger and healthier me! read more

If you are SERIOUS about working out and getting in shape Adam is your guy here is why! -my order of importance-: -He has transformed his body, you may want to check his pic on yelp! -Exercise variety..COMPOUND movements...means you won't get bored and get STRONGER -He is passionate about what he does and/also explaining science behind each movement -Excellent Nutritional coach, we will soon have a coaching session at costco!!! - Measures your muscle, fat, weight, BMI ratios multiple times which helps you stay motivated most people working out at this gym regardless of sex, age ......are serious about getting into their best shape and that sets this gym apart from the rest. Thank you Adam for helping me feel great and be proud of my body:-)) read more

Alittle about myself, I am a business owner and an reserve military officer in the army. It's important for me to keep myself mentally sharp for my business and physically in shape for my troops. Before I found Adam, I was going to the gym TWICE a day (Five in the morning and five in the afternoon) just so I can have a balance of cardio and weightlifting... but overtime, it became very draining and it gets harder to maintain as my business grow... Today I train with Adam 3 times a week and I can't tell you how much difference it make to have a GREAT personal trainer, he is able to help me get into better shape with in half of the time I spend in the gym... and as an entrepreneur this means I get to spend more time on my clients and time to myself. I can't thank Adam enough for everything that he have done for me and I look forward to a prosper future training with him. read 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. read more

Ok. Let me just say this.... I have booty!!! 3 months ago I told Adam "I wanted to change my shape." Adam is a great coach and keeps you focused on your goals. I was very satisfied with the results. I was already pretty lean to start off with but my skin got tighter, I build more muscle and my friends noticed that I looked more fit and told me that I have a "butt," which made me super happy! I would look forward to going to the gym and having a trainer like Adam that motivates you to work hard and at the end of the session you KNOW that you worked HARD! Im looking forward to my next session. Im on break from training but Im having withdrawals symptoms from my best coach Adam! read more

I've been training with Adam for a couple months now and just a little on my background, I've been doing weight training for the past two years with two different trainers, before that I was doing yoga and running for about 9 months. So, pretty much I was a total newb to the world of fitness and personal training. I started because just like any other average mid-20-something year old, I was still doing what I was doing when I was in my earlier 20's which was normal social happy hour eating and drinking (which I still enjoy from time to time) then going to an 8+ hr desk job definitely had me looking a tad bit more "fluffy" than I wanted to be. Who knew that that amazing metabolism that I had in my earlier years sure wasn't going to cut it in my later ones... Oh did I mention chasing around a toddler. Yeah, having a kid also changes the game a little also. As I was saying, (I tend to rant) I had two previous trainers and was working my butt off 5-6 times a week(often twice a day), I stopped drinking and was eating "clean". I lost some weight but my body was still fluffy, I wasn't really showing any muscle definition and I couldn't understand why all of my efforts wasn't working.... That was until the day I met Adam. I can honestly say that it's been a real eye opener. Adam knows what he's talking about, he just doesn't act like he does, you learn that soon after you initially meet him. He takes the time to break down the science behind things to make sure you understand his approach. Focus, that's what I really liked about Adam, he looks you in the eye when he speaks to you and you know that he's focused on you and what you're goals are. I learned what I was doing wrong and what we needed to do to correct it so that I reached my goals. It was a no brainer that I needed to take a leap of faith and trust my biggest insecurity in his hands. Being with Adam for the past couple months I'm already seeing myself leaning out well and the best part, I don't have any super crazy "diet" restrictions. I do things in moderation and don't feel bad if I have a cupcake (my weakness) from time to time...I weigh in every Monday and we go over the good and the bad. If it's a bad weigh-in, we go over what we can do for the coming week so that I don't hit a rough patch. Which is so refreshing, from being chewed out with my past trainers. I'm eating more, working out less, lifting heavier, and getting leaner... I train with Adam three days a week. We incorporate HIIT, lower body and upper body. He's a stiffer on form which is great and he's always incorporating different things so that I don't get too comfortable. My favorite is when he incorporates strength sessions. The feeling of knowing that you're getting stronger and still are shrinking in size just makes it that much more rewarding. I wouldn't be able to push myself without Adam there guiding me. He pushes me to the limit but knows when I've had enough. I always leave the gym feeling amazing even if I wasn't when I initially walked in. The gym facility is spacious, located in a business complex and is a private trainer and client facility. The space and equipment provided allows you to do exercises that you wouldn't be able to do at your normal chain gym. Adam is amazing and I couldn't be happier that I finally made the leap to join his team. His other clients that I've met are all so nice and everyone supports each other. Once you meet Adam and talk to him, you'll know you're in the hands of someone who is passionate about what he does and who knows what he's doing and isn't just doing this as "another job". read more

First, here's a little history about myself; I have no prior knowledge of fitness or nutrition. The thought of weight training frightened me, the idea of going to the gym looking puny and tiny was also very intimidating. I had no confidence in myself and I was a huge skeptic when it came to personal trainers because I assumed that they are just here to sell sell sell! There are many skeptics like me but I want you guys to know that this is completely wrong, especially with Adam! He is a trainer for a lifestyle change. I first approached Adam questioning about the world of fitness because I was unhappy with my health and physique and I wanted a positive change in my life. I just wanted to feel good about myself for once. Adam assured me that with my determination and his motivation, I will reach my goals. I jumped into this with no prior knowledge nor any clue of how to use any of the gym equipment or what muscles each exercise worked on. He was very patient and detail-oriented in teaching me the proper techniques for each exercise I've done because I was literally starting from scratch. He was able to demonstrate and even explain why I'm doing it this way instead of that way etc. etc. and ways to avoid injury, and of course better/faster results for the long run. Adam is really good at gauging your capabilities and creating individual programs that work for you. As an example, he'd learn your strengths and weaknesses and he'd build on top of that. Every week I'd be excited when he'd push me to hit new PR's. So yes, he really is the real deal, a walking encyclopedia; because it's not just weight training and conditioning, you'll learn about counting macros and flexible dieting, anything nutrition-based. So I not only have a trainer, I have a teacher. He will even assist you in finding proper shoes that will be beneficial to your workout (lower body exercises). What I feel that was most important to me, was that you can tell that he genuinely cares for each and every client. I never felt detached with our communication and we always understood each other's feedback. He also was always flexible around his hectic busy schedule just to fit in with my work schedule, along with all of his other clients! Even on your scheduled days off, he will check up on you to see how you're feeling from the previous day's work out; that's how you know he really does care and he does want you to succeed in reaching your goals. I've met a few long term clients of his and I am just amazed at their progress. Combining my witness to his clients and his positive reinforcement on me just has me readily eager to be a next success story. Another perk, especially for the ladies, if you're looking to get a nice firm butt, look no further. He is THE booty master. I started my lifestyle change with Adam towards the end of this past January and I've started to see some physical results in myself after the first month. By the third month in April, my entire body started to undergo change and my strength has up'd considerably. I even feel marginally healthier with a greater balanced metabolism already. This has boosted my confidence and self-esteem to a point where I can't imagine myself not continuing my journey in fitness. I'm ecstatic to see what my 1 year progress report would be like, because at this point I'm already saying goodbye to my weakly skeletal physique and ready to look and feel good for EDC next month! If you are fed up with your current lifestyle and ready for a positive change in your life, Adam is your best candidate. The entire team with Aesthetic Bodies OC love him. Thank you Adam for all of your hard work so far! read more

Exhilarate Performance Center - Began as a client with Adam 1/2015. Visual progress report at 90 days. - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Long ago, I used to train with Adam when he had first started up his business. I always had difficulty gaining weight and had numerous self-inflicted injuries due to improper form and lack of knowledge. However, working with him was a blessing. He guided me through the proper path,working around my injuries so as not to cause anymore pain/stress while helping me gain at least 15 lbs of lean mass. Always hitting PR's and constantly getting stronger (and looking good at the beach) was addicting LOL. He was the person I always had to thank for that. Of course I went without him because he always made me look bad. Although my sporadic work schedule hasn't permitted me to train with him, he still assists me with any concerns or questions that I may have. I'm looking forward to the day when I get train with this amazing trainer again and hope to get as strong as his current clients! P.S. a warning when you actually get to workout with the man, he loves his chalk. I felt like I was turning into a ghost every time we lifted haha read more

First of all, great place and environment overall to be in! Good location in Irvine, CA, in a non-crowded area. There is always parking available. It's a private gym with a very welcoming and friendly environment. The gym is also very clean and there's a variety of equipment available to use during your training session. It never gets boring :) From a new client's perspective, I was looking for a trainer that was knowledgable and understanding when it comes down to physical and mental fitness. I'm so glad I met Adam. He not only educated me in learning how to perform exercises in their most efficient and correct form, but gave important tips on how to create a healthier lifestyle for my well-being. He makes all your workouts cater to your goals in the most productive and sensible manner. Adam also provides online documents to assist in adjusting your nutrition and eating methods to encourage healthier habits. As a busy person with a fluctuating schedule, he was able to accommodate and provide support even if I was not at the gym training. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend training at Aesthetic Bodies OC if you want to not only improve your physical physique, but also transform your quality of life into a healthier one. You'll definitely learn to love and enjoy your fitness journey even more! read more

I could not have asked for a better personal trainer! He is knowledgeable, professional and extremely patient to his students. He is not only a good trainer, but also became a good friend!! I would highly recommend Adam for anyone who is looking for a personal trainer in Irvine! read more

Backstory - Before I started training with Adam, I had close to zero exercise. I worked an office job with a commute from OC to LA, so I sat on my butt for over half of my day. I would get home from work, drained from long hours in traffic, and would not want to do anything until bedtime. I made excuses for myself that I didn't have enough hours in the day. But, I realized I needed to change something about my lifestyle on this one day I went snowboarding with my friends. My body was out of it after one run down the mountain! I felt so ashamed that I didn't have the energy, strength, or motivation to keep going. Literally, the next day, I reached out to Adam. I was drawn in by his motivation, his progression, and seeing how passionate he was about what he does. I loved that and chose him. I committed to him and he committed to me. Consultation - We met up for a consultation where we discussed goals, his program and pricing. He gave a tour of the facility and took some measurements and pictures. Before day 1 of actual training, he provided guidance and resources for me to learn about a healthy lifestyle, macros, fasting, weight training shoes, etc. This made me feel more prepared for what I was getting into. Training - Day 1 of training, I knew nothing about fitness or weight training. He wasn't just there to show me how to lift weights but really tried to discover what I was looking for. He told me what was realistic and what wasn't. He gave advice on eating..and I love food! I was thrilled to discover methods to be able to eat the yummy things I crave and still build muscle and look good. The first month or so was pretty much a learning phase. Learning the different exercises, proper form, variations of exercises between using a machine or free weights. He focused on making sure I learned things correctly during this phase and we got a feel of how much strength I had. Just after 1 month, I could see changes with my body. Physically, I lost 2% body fat for each of the first few months. After a couple months, I started lifting heavier. I could see definition in my arms and legs, and the booty grew ;) I always thought lifting weights would make a woman look manly. Adam explained why this is a myth and I totally agree now that I see my body transform in a good way. I'm kind of sad I never got into fitness and weight training earlier in my life. Mentally and emotionally, I was on top of the world! I had so much energy and happiness and I can definitely attribute that to me working out. I enjoyed learning different exercises from Adam, asked him questions on why this works and why that doesn't work. I just always felt an amazing, positive attitude. My friends could see it and see how it impacted me and they started to be active too. You don't want to turn old and have these weak, deteriorating muscles. Be active now! Adam was very flexible. I respected his time and he respected mines. He pushed me to my limits but he also made me feel like I could accomplish anything. He knows so much about what he does, constantly researches and tries to improve in any way he can. I trust him and that's pretty important to me. He's really easy to talk to. It doesn't feel awkward with him and he's overall a great supporter. I've been working out with Adam for the past 6 months and I couldn't have been happier with my progress! If you're even slightly interested in making a change in your lifestyle, losing weight, building strength, whatever it may be. Take that step forward now! You will not regret it. read more

Been Training with Adam for the past 2 months, and have to say i am very impressed with him. Training: The sessions are never boring or repetitive. Adam is very creative with his workouts and he keeps you moving the whole time. a few times i questioned him in my head saying to myself i cant do this, only to be proven wrong I truly learned the term "trust your Trainer" Personality: The guy gets it, he knows when to push you and when to back away and let you rest, he has that very easygoing personality that makes him more then just a trainer but a friend. I have seen some trainers that are not paying attention to you or watching the clock, but i got to say this guy actually cares about his clients, And its easy to see since I have had the pleasure of meeting some of his other clients and they have nothing but great things to say about him. Overall: If you ready to get serious and change the way you feel and look about yourself then i would recommended this guy. If you see his before pictures he is living proof that anyone can transform themselves. read more

Do you want the best? Look no further... Adam is the best. I am not one to give credit or praise that freely, but I give credit where credit is due. Adam, you are an awesome trainer, and I want to let everyone know about you. I met Adam through my friend, Cyndie. I have known Cyndie for over 7 years and she has been working out all this time. We even went to boot camp together but it was an okay workout. Last June, I noticed that she looked different. She was slimmer, leaner and had more definition. I asked what's new. Adam! She signed up with Adam and in one month, there was definitely a change. Wow! I was inspired. I met Adam and after interviewing him for about an hour, decided to sign up. Next day, I started my 3x a week routine. Was I crazy to sign up? I would leave work at 2:30 and drive from Brea to Irvine. I waited at Starbucks for 1 1/2 hour before I start my workout at 5:00. Did I like the wait...no! But was it worth it after the training with Adam? Yes! The science of working out, anatomy, kinesiology and all the terms can be learned from school or internet. You can go to a gym and a trainer can show you all the machines and how to use it and how many reps and what weight to use, etc. They can tell how to achieve your goals by cutting down on carbs or calories. That is their job but they don't go above and beyond. So what makes Adam special and different? Adam cares about you. It is his business to be a trainer but more important, Adam is there for you. He is passionate to share his knowledge and sincere about helping you achieve your goal. He corrects your form and pushes you to your limits. I kept telling him that I am too old for some of the conditioning but he insists that age does not matter! He is right too! I did some sets that I cannot imagine I would ever do. He makes you sweat! You are sore 90 % of the time, but it is okay because you know you did your best. Adam, thank you for the great laughs we've had, the sore (not pain that I endured, the many times you pushed me to press and lift more. I have worked out for the past 30 years, but never sweat or ache this much. (Good sore). Most of all, thank you for caring! You are the best because you put your heart in to what you do. That makes you the best of the best! read more

I must confess I was very apprehensive at first to even go meet with a personal trainer. I figured I had a gym membership already & I knew how to use the machines so why spend extra money on a trainer. However, my brother was referred to Adam by a close friend to go in for a consultation. He asked me to just come sit in & listen. We sat with Adam & within minutes of listening to his philosophy & motivation towards fitness we both became very interested. So we decided to give it a try. We started last year just after memorial weekend & it was one of the most challenging workouts I'd ever accomplished. As I continued training I was sore for weeks but was continuously encouraged by Adam to keep pushing myself. I was getting stronger and had better endurance by the week. I am in the best shape so far of my life and feel more confident than ever. I recently went on a trip to Mexico to celebrate my birthday & for the first time I actually felt great wearing a bikini. I have learned so much & fitness has now become a lifestyle for me. I am very much looking forward to the progress I can make this year with Adam. He truly knows what he is doing & teaches you the proper ways to weight train without sustaining injuries. He listens closely & genuinely cares for his clients. Also, the atmosphere at the gym is great, it is very clean and has wonderful people there. I would highly would recommend him to everyone! Be prepared to work hard, train hard and see serious results. read more

I use to be very insecure with myself and my appearance until my friend had referred me to his friend that was a trainer. After meeting up with Richard, the trainer, we talked thoroughly about my is physique and daily habits, what I've tried in the past and what didn't work. In conclusion, Richard helped me create a work out schedule and eating habit that played a major part on in keeping my daily regime. I was going to planet fitness by myself but wasn't feeling like I was really doing apt of effective work outs. I remember always leaving the gym super tired but for many months I didn't see any slight improvement. I transferred gym location to be with Richard and my goodness what difference. He helped correct my form and posture which really help isolate the muscle to grow. Even my friends started noticing some improvements so that really help kept the motivation alive. What I really like about training with Richard was that even though he was tough on me during some parts, I'd never imagine I would have been able to push so much weight during a short amount of time. Overall it's a great experience , great gym, parking was not a problem, convenience to free weights was great and the trainer was very thorough on the movement of the muscles 10/10 would recommend to help boost your confidence and physical appearance. read more

There is no better personal trainer than Adam. He is incredibly knowledgeable, listens to you, pushes you, motivates you but most importantly, you see results. I started with Adam when I lacked motivation to workout on my own, wanted to get in shape and just needed an overall change. When I became pregnant, he knew exactly how to accommodate me with safe exercises and trained me well into my third trimester. For those moms out there, you know the postpartum body struggle is real. I took about two years off after having a baby so I needed his training and expertise more than ever post-pregnancy/post-quarantine and I have lost 20 pounds so far. I still have a ways to go, but I feel hopeful that my progress will continue and I can maintain this healthier balanced lifestyle. So if you have been contemplating hiring a personal trainer, do yourself the favor and just contact Adam. If you're willing to put in the work, you won't be disappointed. read 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. read more

I would recomend Adam if you really want to step up game, get over your plateaus, and get the body you always wanted no matter what your age. Adam's got a custom plan just for you to help you reach your goals in the shortest time possible. His constant attention to his clients make it feel like 5 star service and you know he is always focused on what is best for you. Personal attention, expert advice, and inspired coaching to push you the next level. What are you waiting for? read more

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. read more

Been going to Adam overall for about 5 months on and off through out the year. His teaching is invaluable because it's not your basic weight training. Everything is customized to you as an individual and it's training you will carry on with the rest of your life if you learn the right way. On top of that his nutritional information and guidance provides you so that you don't stop enjoying the food you like. He doesn't make you cut out any food, beer, cake, burgers, but just make sure it's in moderation and within your macro schedule. This training is for longevity, it's like the saying goes it's not a sprint but a marathon. Sprints are for seasonal diets and for people who lose and gain weight constantly. This is for life and training you will take with you forever, highly recommend his training. read 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! read more

I have tried everything from boot camp to yoga to dvd workouts--you name it! None of this, however, compares to having a personal trainer. My one-on-one workout sessions with Adam have been extremely effective and every workout is different. Adam truly cares about achieving results for his clients, including myself. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I highly recommend Adam! read more

I started working with Adam a month ago and I have to say that I am extremely happy with my decision of training with him. At first I was not sure what to expect and how soon I would start seeing results and so far I am more than convinced that this guy is hands down the real deal. When you first meet Adam right off the bat you get him, he is extremely honest, straight to the point and determined to help you achieve your goals but he will hold you accountable every step of the way and will make sure you are as committed as he is in working together to get you to where you want to be. You also immediately can see how passionate he is about what he does, how he gives it his all with each and everyone of his clients and how he really cares about each and every one of them. And this is exactly what I was hoping to find and am happy I did. Not only are his sessions extremely difficult, never boring and always leave you in so much pain (not a bad thing), he also is a great coach when it comes to nutrition and has teach me that you don't have to starve or deprive yourself of what you like to eat in order to lose weight and build muscle. He helps you learn how to eat to lose weight and although I had a hard time understanding it I started to see the results and am completely Amazed. So far in a month I have lost 1.8% body fat, 3 lb body weight and .5 inches on my waist, all this by training three times a month and eating the foods that I love. I am extremely happy with my results, extremely lucky I found Adam and super excited to see where he will take me in the next months to come. read more

After having two kids I try to loose weight with previous trainers but didn't have a luck. Adam helped me drop my weight from 130 to 110 pounds plus get in an amazing shape with tons of mussels. And I know there is more to come and I'm so exited to see the results!! The place where he trains NLF is the perfect gym for me. It's in a great location, has lots of equipment and clean. Easy to park and plenty of space It's more personal, he gets to know you as an individual , focusing on your strengths and targeting your weaknesses. Adam is the best trainer I have ever worked with. He is professional, motivated and his drive is killer. He has a passion for his work and it shows. I have been feeling healthier, stronger and more focused on my personal fitness since I have started working with Adam I would definitely recommend him to my friends as a personal trainer read more

Highly recommended!!! I've been training with Adam for almost 7 months and he has helped me lose 15lb already. It's an amazing experience and changed my life a lot. I'm really appreciate have this nice and patient guy be my coach and I will definitely continue work with him in the future. Thanks Adam! read more

I was refereed to Adam by my cousin and a friend who has been training with him for over a year. Aesthetic Bodies OC is very conveniently located, close to my home in Costa Mesa and office in Irvine. I was excited to be introduced to such a positive, knowledgeable and professional coach. Adam has taught me the importance of nutrition and counting my Macros as well as giving me the tools I need to continue my health and fitness journey inside and outside the gym. He is also very active on social media, keeping his clients and followers up to date on his workouts. Adam is reliable and always available for any questions I have. Thank you for providing the best personal training experience I have ever had and for being such a dedicated and passionate coach. read more

Adam helped me figure out what was causing my knee pain and was very professional, thorough, and empathetic. He explained that I should seek out a chiropractor and also recommended some self help stretches and specific exercises. Although I am still seeking out a chiropractor, the stretches, as well as the in depth explanation of how my IT band and tense glutes might be a few of the reasons why my knees were in pain, have been very helpful and have been immensely helpful in alleviating some of the pain I've been experiencing :) Thank you Adam!! read more

Personal trainers are a dime a dozen, but the type of results and experience you get with Adam will blow your mind! He takes the time in getting to know your body composition to best meet your goals. As a veteran I have several injuries from being in the service over the years. If I am not able to do an exercise due to one of those injuries, he is knowledgeable on what else I can do to achieve the same effect. Keeps the training sessions fun and new, so I don't get bored and burned out. Plus, he tries to have a real personal connection with those he trains. In a way when we win he truly wins, he feels our success as if they are his own. read more

Hi my name is Kareem Nixon I have honestly never written a review before. I think they are for people who have way too much time on their hands, but in this case I feel it is actually worth my time and yours. The three main reasons why I think you should train with Adam at ABOC are: 1. He is not one of those typical trainers who try to fill his pockets by stacking as many clients in one day with the same cookie cutter routine. Adam actually takes his time to come up with the best and most effective way to get you to your goals. 2. Adam has very flexible scheduling. I work and go to school full time and have very little free time on my hands. He is able to work with my schedule and easily move times around when I have a class or just cant make it in at my usual time. 3. I have never met anyone as dedicated to his work as Adam. He genuinely cares about your progress and wants you to succeed. If you are serious and dedicated to living a healthier lifestyle, Adam is going to match your drive and devotion to help you reach your goals. Is it going to be easy? NO! Anything worth having never is. Will you hate his guts ? Yess!! Most days you will. But in the end you are gonna feel better about yourself. Let's face it people, we live in a physical world the first thing you notice about someone I can guarantee is not going to be their personality. Now some boring stuff about me. I weighed 392 lbs. I like to say I was a double cheese burger away from 400 lbs. I have tried every fad diet out there. Tried to work out by myself I and have lost 5 maybe 10 lbs; Felt good about myself stop working out and gain it all back and then some. Working out with Adam at ABOC I have lost 58 lbs and 4 inches off my waist in only 6 months! Nothing beats genuine hard work and dedication they say. I still have a long way to go and I know Adam will help me get to where I want to be as he will with yours. Give him a try you wont regret it. read more

I rarely write reviews but Adam really deserves it. Throughout my years in college I would train but wouldn't see much progress. Things got boring and I became unmotivated. That's when I decided to go with a trainer and through my friends I found Adam. What I like about Adam is his personalized approach to training. Over the 6 months that I have been training with I have learned a lot. I never knew that it would be possible to increase my strength while losing weight at the same time. If you're someone new to the fitness world or you've hit a plateau I suggest you come to Adam. P.s. thanks Adam for helping me bench 225 for reps it was my goal for the longest time. read more

Adam To is one of the most efficient and effective personal trainers you'll ever get! I've been training with him and he's kept me on track for a little over a year, building strength for my last varsity basketball season. Some highlights about Adam's personal training: while taking part in a session with him, he'll continuously motivate you until the last set. Also, he'll push you to work harder than you normally would if you worked out alone. One time, Adam helped me back-squat 275 when I usually do 225. He helped me gain weight, mass, and strength. His methods to motivating his clients varies with each individual; some need more of it than others. His online tutorials are very helpful as he provides descriptive do's and don'ts in the caption. It really makes you want to get the form down. All of these tips on his Instagram business page are easily accessible and may allow you to avoid possible injuries. Aesthetic Bodies OC has certain qualities that defines itself apart from 24 Hour Fitness. Such as the trainer-to-client relationship; I feel that since 24 Hour Fitness is such a large company, there's a lack of connection between the client and the personal trainer. Adam seems like he actually cares for his clients but he also establishes a fine line between being personal and professional. I highly recommend that those who feel like they need a personal trainer, some extra motivation, an efficient workout regimen, someone to set you on the right fitness path through balanced nutrition and scheduled workouts, to call up Adam To. You won't regret any workout with him. read more

Adam is an amazing trainer and more importantly a wonderful human being. I weight trained with him for over 6 months. Having never weight trained before ever in my life, I gained a lot of understanding about body weight perception and the values of muscle mass. I saw good results in terms of the way my body felt and confidence. I felt toned and strong. Adam is a very highly motivated and dedicated trained who holds you accountable for your own goals and helps, guides and motivates you to achieve them. I think I made a good decision to start my weight training experience with an experienced and genuinely client invested trainer like Adam :) read more
