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. Adam is not an obnoxious, overly loud, in your face, drill sergeant, boot camp style type of trainer. 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. I train with Adam 4x a week and I have already seen my strength level go up, my stamina increase, my body transforming before my very eyes, my energy levels shooting through the roof, and just how I feel after every single session. It is SIMPLY AMAZING, words can not describe. These workouts are unlike any conventional workout or DVD that you might have done in the past. They are everything - conditioning, strength training, focusing on your core, stability, balance, and just a total body workout. This by far is truly the best decision that I have made for myself and my life, and I am truly blessed and feel extremely lucky to have Adam as my trainer. I am truly happy that I have not only met an amazing trainer but most important of all an amazing human being who is completely/truly about making a difference in each one of his client's lives. read more

Trust your trainer, and Adam is simply the best. He is truly a professional who knows his craft. Staring off with the consultation, it was very informative, sitting down and setting goals. His approach is not just about fitness, he wants to improve your overall health and lifestyle. His biggest strength is knowing how to motivate clients instead of pushing them past their limit. I can say that I was a slow starter in the beginning, but Adam was always there offering encouragement, getting me to finish my workouts. After every workout, I achieved a great sense of satisfaction, knowing that I had worked hard and I'm accomplishing my goals. Trust me when I say that under his nice guy personality, is a fierce trainer. His workouts can be intense and the stuff of nightmares. He always switches up his routines, so you're never bored, just very afraid of how you'll feel the next day. My goals at the beginning were very realistic, and I have surpassed them quickly. Adam teaches you not to just look at your weight, which can fluctuate daily, but on overall fitness. Beginning weight: 180.3 After: 177 Before body fat: 22.0% Lowest: 18.5% Purely looking at numbers, it doesn't seem like a significant difference, but my body has been changed greatly since working with Adam. I have much better endurance than when I first started, and my body overall has become leaner, less fat and more muscle mass. I have greater energy overall now, than when I wasn't working out. It's great working with Adam because I don't have a conventional schedule and he is very accommodating about training times. The gym that we train in is an excellent facility. There's no need to wait for any of the equipment, there is plenty to go around. Everything is very clean there, with personal showers, which is a great bonus. The gym has a great atmosphere, with everyone there working on overall fitness and health, there is no intimidation factor coming from other people judging you like other gyms. He will emphasize on correct form, rather than how much weight you can lift. Commit to Adam and he will commit to you. He sends texts throughout the week to ask how you're feeling. He is always available to offer tips on how to reduce soreness and answer any questions that you might have. He takes extreme satisfaction in tracking your progress, you can see how passionate he is, your success is his success. read more

Exhilarate Performance Center isn't just a gym; it's my sanctuary, where I've undergone a profound transformation over the past three years. Under the guidance of Coach Adam, I've experienced a metamorphosis. Walking through those doors initially felt like stepping into a world where I was both vulnerable and hopeful. Battling body dysmorphia for years, I struggled to see myself beyond my perceived flaws. But Coach Adam, with his unwavering support, gently nudged me towards self-acceptance. His personalized approach to training not only sculpted my physique but also mended the fractured relationship I had with my body. With each session, I learned to appreciate my strengths and embrace my imperfections as part of my unique journey. Coach Adam's belief in me, even when I doubted myself, became the cornerstone of my progress. He saw potential in me that I couldn't fathom, and his faith ignited a fire within me to push past my insecurities. Through sweat and determination, I conquered physical challenges I once deemed insurmountable. But it wasn't just about lifting weights or hitting new personal records; it was about reclaiming control over my body and mind. The camaraderie within the EPC community further fueled my growth. Surrounded by individuals on their own transformative journeys, I found solace in knowing I wasn't alone. Together, we celebrated victories, lifted each other through setbacks, and formed bonds that extended far beyond the gym walls. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for Coach Adam and the entire Exhilarate family. They didn't just change my body; they changed my life. Through their continual support, I've emerged stronger, both physically and mentally. To Coach Adam: You've taught me that true strength lies not just in muscle, but in resilience, courage, and self-love. Thank you for guiding me towards a path of healing and empowerment. You've forever changed the way I see myself, and for that, I am eternally grateful. And shout-out to Coach Zach for always bringing the humor and liveliness we all need! You always make the entire gym smile with your humor and wit. Thanks for always shining so brightly and making all of us feel so welcome! If you're looking for a community to uplift your fitness journey to the next level, look no further than Exhilarate Performance Center. read more

I started training with Adam in June 2014. I needed to tone up and Adam was just the trainer to help me! Adam started with showing me how to track my calories according to my weight and exercise routine. He let me see that I did not have to abandon my love of food to be healthy. He showed me that I could balance healthy eating with the foods that I love. Of course there will be sacrifices in order to lose weight, but at least I did not have to give up everything I love to eat (eggrolls, chips, anything fried, and the list goes on and on). Adam is such an attentive and creative trainer. His sessions are never boring and always kick my butt. Adam changes up his session each time, working different muscle groups, with different exercise routines. He is flexible and always tried to work around my schedule. He pays attention to me while I perform the different exercises to ensure sure that I am doing the exercise correctly, that I maximize my potential, and that I do not injure myself. He always pushes me to give 110% but still is cognizant to give me some time to breathe if he sees that I am winded. I always feel exhausted during and after a work out session with Adam. He makes every session worth every minute of my time! Besides just being a trainer, Adam really care about his clients. He routinely checks up on me to see how I am doing in general and with my food tracking. Adam also never hesitates to tell his clients when there is a good sale or deal on sports products! I have seen results much faster with Adam by my side helping me train and showing me how to eat better. Training with Adam was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health. read more

Discovering the impact of having a personal trainer in my fitness journey was a complete eye-opener. After years of weightlifting, I believed I was following the most effective workout routines, but with Adam's guidance, I realized I had so much more to learn. From the start, Adam proved to be an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable trainer. He not only corrected my form but also introduced me to new workouts that perfectly aligned with my lifestyle and home gym setup. My goals were clear: gain muscle mass, lower body fat percentage, and address my posture issues, all while juggling a busy schedule. Adam designed a tailored workout program that I religiously followed every week, and the results have been beyond my expectations. What truly sets Adam apart is his dedication and genuine interest in his clients' progress. He has a unique ability to push you to your limits in a respectful and encouraging manner, helping you uncover your true potential. Under his guidance, I've witnessed more significant progress than I ever achieved with random internet workout programs. Having Adam as my personal trainer has provided me with the extra motivation and push I needed to take my fitness journey to new heights. The value I've gained from his expertise and support is immeasurable. If you're considering getting a personal trainer, I highly recommend Aesthetic Bodies OC. The results speak for themselves, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve with their guidance. read more

Let me just stay this about Adam: He will make you hate him and his routines at times, but you'll be thanking him down the road! Working out is not supposed to be easy and he is the perfect trainer to motivate and keep you interested. So here is the dirty: Ever since Jan: -3.1 lb down (started at 154 lbs) -2.7 % bodyfat down + 2 lb of muscles + great mobility and range of motion. I got these results at the beginning of April going 2 times a week and supplementing that with my own gym sessions. I started with Adam with the goal of looking good for Coachella and its definitely working! Not only do feel more energetic, I could see that my arms, chest, legs, ect are all getting bigger!!! The gains that I achieved going through Adam would have taken twice, or even longer, if I continued working out by myself without any sort of direction or guidance. He instills you the knowledge and know-how on doing a variety of exercises and routines that help you reach a specific goal. I've always thought that a personal trainer would be a waste of money because you can find all sorts of workout routines and regiments online, but there is nothing that can replace the face-to-face interaction that comes with your very own personal trainer! If you're tired of slow gains or no gains, just hit up Adam. Just give him 3 months, and you'll be surprised by not only the physical changes, but by what can be achieved if you stay relentless and motivated!!! KEEP IT 100 read 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 https://www.nuvectramedical.com. 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. read more

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. read more

I've been attending Exhilarate Performance Center for a year now, and it's been a game-changer for my fitness journey. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and the atmosphere is always motivating. A huge shout-out to Zack, my trainer, who has been instrumental in helping me build strength and improve my overall health. He tailored a program to fit my goals, and his attention to detail--especially with form and progression--has made all the difference. Zack's encouragement and expertise have helped me feel stronger, more energized, and confident in my fitness routine. If you're looking for a gym with top-notch equipment and a supportive, knowledgeable staff, I highly recommend Exhilarate. Zack, in particular, has truly helped me transform my body and mindset. read more

I'm so happy to have discovered Aesthetic Bodies OC. I'm getting married this fall and like many of my friends and colleagues, I am sad to say that I added an extra 15 pounds of weight from working from home over the last two years of COVID and not moving my body. I've been training with Adam now for about 45 days and I've seen a dramatic improvement in my physique. He also helped me get back into the swing of healthy, mindful eating. I'm getting stronger everyday and Im really excited that I'm out of my slump and back to putting my health and fitness as a priority. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their health and fitness to the next level. read more

My friend recommended Adam when I started looking to get back into strength training. Adam is very professional and knowledgeable. I couldn't ask for a better coach! Zack is the other coach and he's just as professional and knowledgeable. They are supportive and encouraging of everyone's individual fitness journey. They both provide full body programming and you'll be in good hands with either one. The gym is maintained immaculately. Plus, there's plenty of parking! read more

I am training primarily to strengthen and maintain a healthy body and mind. In the high stress environment we currently work & live in, training is a wonderful form of stress relief. Training is a choice of lifestyle. Attributes of training with Adam: * No ego * Very Technical (Form is stressed) * Very safe training environment * Knows his stuff & a good listener * Hard work, but enjoyable I highly recommend Adam as a PT. read more

Adam is an amazing trainer!! I had bad experiences with past trainers, but all of the hassle was worth it after I met Adam. Not only did he help me with weight loss, he also helped me mentally. All his instructions are clear, he's extremely motivating and he's always answering my questions about nutrition. I will for sure continue to train with him. read more

I always thought the word trainer meant pay lots of money to have someone watch you exercise until I met Adam. Now all I will say is if you are serious about getting to your goals Adam is the person you need to call. Your goals become his goals and I can truly say he really is the meaning of the 'PERSONAL' in personal trainer. Call him! read more

I'm training for my first physique show this year and Adam offered a critical and helpful eye. He was able to successfully target muscles I have trouble developing and after only a few weeks I have seen drastic improvements!
