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! read more

I've been with Adam for 6 months now and he has been an amazing coach! Before this, I had been fairly active in sports, martial arts, and climbing in high school and college. But after graduating, I hit a rut and then within the past year, I dislocated my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff twice, which not only made me feel even more discouraged but also made me significantly weaker. I had been thinking about trying personal training for a while and that's when I decided to just go for it. And after just a couple months, I noticed a big change. I felt better, happier, slimmer, and more energetic. I'm even stronger now than I was before my injury. (I can do 5 consecutive pull-ups now... like, what?!!) And throughout these past few months, Adam has been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable and he shows a great passion for fitness. I also like that he's more of a guide. He makes sure that the exercises are done correctly and pays really close attention to make sure that my form is perfect, but he lets me do the workouts (which, by the way, are individually customized) at my own pace. The same goes for outside of the gym as well: he provides a ton of information on nutrition, but he adjusts the nutrition plan for each person. Plus, the monthly measurements and weigh-ins help to keep me on track. The gym that we use, Next Level Fitness, is also just as amazing. It's clean, has all kinds of equipment from cardio machines to sleds and tires, and has locker rooms/showers. Plus, everyone there is so friendly! And as someone who has to deal with parking problems every morning because of work, I'm so thankful that the parking lot here is huge. He has different monthly plans from twice per week to four times per week and they're all reasonably priced. He's also very flexible with any scheduling changes. My car battery died once right before a session and I've gotten sick so many times and each time, he's understanding and reschedules them without any issue. The workouts consist of an hour of strength training or body conditioning and a half hour of cardio. They're never boring and thanks to him, I always feel motivated to push myself to see if I can lift more, push harder, and run longer. If you're looking for a personal trainer to help you reach any fitness or life goals, I highly recommend Adam! 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

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

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

Adam is amazing! I enjoyed having that first consultation because he digs deep to find out the real reason why you want to lose weight. Being able to see his training methods compared to others makes me appreciate his talents and his focused he is on you as a client. The monthly weigh-ins are super helpful to keep you accountable and conscience of your habits. You won't be disappointed in having Adam as a trainer!!! read 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!" read more

Adam helped me get back into shape after an injury that left me hospitalized for 2 months and dealing with surgeries a year later. He helped me ease into the work outs and helped perfect my form. I was challenged everyday and eventually was able to hit PR's from even before my injury. Truly a great trainer and I highly recommend. read more

What I like the most about adam is his passion for fitness. He never ceases to amaze me. He never stops learning and is always there every step of your journey. Adam is professional, motivating, and easy to talk too he's a great coach and friend. I started the beginning of April and I have already lost 12 pounds reduced a few percentage of body fat and inches of my waist, and thighs. Not only going to visit adam 3-4 times a week help me physically, but it helps me mentally too. I haven't been this happy in a very long time. I'm so happy I was recommended. I really can't wait to continue this journey, and I really wouldn't have done it with all of his motivation and encouragement. Im considering to stay for more than 6 months! It's addicting to feel physically and mentally better about yourself. read more

Working with Adam since January has been the best investment I've ever made in myself! I've been working with Adam for 4 months and he's helped me reach fitness goals I never thought I could achieve. Aside from helping me crush my goals, Adam has taught me how to live a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that I can carry on for the rest of my life. I never knew I had it in me, but Adam taught me that discipline and consistency eventually produces the results I had been looking for all my life. For 4 months, I worked out with Adam twice a week. He has not only showed me what workouts to do, but also helped me do my workouts in proper form and with the right technique. I feel like I'm in the best shape in my life, and I owe it to the help and knowledge that Adam has provided me. He's professional and knows what he is talking about. I would recommend him to anyone I know. read more

After gaining about 15 pounds in 2 years and developing back pain from a car accident + office job, I felt it was time to seek professional help to get my body in shape. I was looking for a trainer who could help guide me back to a healthy weight, but also lead me towards the path of reaching optimal health through teaching me about my body and the best exercises for it. I've been with Adam now for 8 months and my body has transformed. I started at an above average level of body fat (33.27%) and am now at an ideal level of 24.4%!! To any of my loved ones (and now reviewers reading this), I highly recommend Adam as a personal trainer. My regular activities for years have included yoga, Pilates, barre classes, but training with Adam has taught me the importance and necessity of weight training! My body has changed in ways I've never seen throughout years of doing classes. His workout is tailored to your body. He is very patient and shows the correct way to do each and every exercise. He is professional and in tune with his clients, asking them for and open to feedback. I know he is passionate and cares about his clients because he remembers details of each client's personal record and tailors it all into the next session. He listens to his clients and is self-motivated by looking for new ways of learning and spreading that knowledge. This shows how high quality he and his work is. I had some unexpected nerves on my first day, with unfamiliar equipment all around. Now, thanks to Adam, I've learned so much and have become comfortable with equipment I rarely used before. These sessions have been a great source of stress release and encouragement, knowing that I'm on my way to better health. A huge thank you to Adam!! He is the best at what he does. I couldn't recommend anyone more. Truly the best! read more

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

I've been training for at least 5 years, I personally found out that every a period of time, I have to have some one who can push me to the next level, if you have lifting experience you would totally understand this and agree with me. I had 4 different coaches before Adam, and I thought I met couple of good ones, but Adam is special. He is more like science based but also knows a lot of skills/techniques/theories about training. I remember in my second session, we were doing some deadlift, he let me show him the form I used to do, then he talked to me for about 5 minuets and he showed me how to do that properly. Just during that session, I broke my PR for another 90 lbs... I did 495 (PR 405lbs) lbs deadlift by changing my form and other details. I was a little bit surprised that how good my body can perform, but I didn't know HOW! He also taught me a lot of scientific theories about diet, which I thought I "know-it-all". Then I brought one of my friends to the gym, who just started lifting about 2 weeks ago, and his goal is to lose weight. He also liked Adam a lot, and told me that he is well "educated" now about losing weight, and it's not just about lifting or cardio, there is so much more things to do. So if you think you need someone to help you to reach your fitness goals, please do yourself a favor, call Adam or text him for an appointment. He has so many plans that fit different kinds of schedules. You will definitely learn a lot just from the first appointment. read more

Working out at Aesthetic Bodies has helped me transform my life. Like most people around here, I like the gym, I go work out, but really lacked the fundamental training and discipline to achieve real progress, which then brings Aesthetic Bodies into the equation. They helped put me on a good diet and work out regime by helping transform my poor habits into good habits - and that's really key. He texts me in the morning to make sure I'm on my way to the work out and helps keep me in check. With their help, I've lost 5 pounds in two weeks but I feel like I've lost more because I can fit into my old suits again! I highly recommend Adam and his team to help changing your bad habits into good ones. read more

It wasn't until July 2017 that I decided to give personal training another try. I had tried personal training in the past, but not really happy with the results. As you can imagine, I was skeptical to try it again due to my past experience. However, from the moment I met Adam, I knew he was a person that could help me achieve new goals and also the one that would help change my life for the better. During the last few months, I have been challenged and pushed by Adam, and he has taught me a great deal. Adam focuses on weight training and complex/compound movements. He makes working out fun and inspires me to reach new goals. I have been very impressed by his passion to help clients, his knowledge, along with his attentiveness to each client. He understands my needs, what my limits are and how far he needs to push me. Adam encourages and motivates me to do better. He also provides training/information on how to count marcos, information on flexible dieting, workout tips, marcos cheat sheet for restaurants, etc.. If you are looking for a personal trainer in the Irvine area try Adam. The workout facility Next Level Fitness were Adam trains his clients is close to several major freeways, there's state of the art equipment and plenty of parking. Next Level Fitness also offers other services: health food store, chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy etc.. read more

I wanted to skinny again, and by skinny again I meant my high school days where 150 pounds looked HOT. I begged Adam to make me skinny again. He accepted the challenge and told me that he could do MORE than make me skinny; he said he could give me the physique that I've always desired just as long as I'm completely committed to him. I trusted him and I made that promise. I've had no prior experience with a personal trainer. To be honest, I kind of hate working out. I know nothing of fitness and nutrition. It's like this - a struggling math student hires a math tutor. A person looking to get fit hires Adam. It's the same thing because, with Adam, you will get the education and the motivation to achieve your goals, whether it's a math test or your health and physique. But let's cut to the chase - I've lost 10 pounds since starting with Adam in July 2015. I've gone from approx. 24% in body fat to 16.6% in body fat (that's ACCEPTABLE to FITNESS in just 3 months!). I've been eating better with his advice on my nutrition and I've been doing my homework outside of the gym (he does request some form of cardio outside of the training sessions like biking or swimming). I mean, talk about RESULTS. What separates him apart from other trainers is that he is meticulous and detail-oriented. He will get on your ass about your form because if you're working out under his watch, he ultimately wants you to do it RIGHT so that you don't INJURE yourself. I look around me all the time at the surrounding trainers at Next Level Fitness and almost all of them fail to correct their clients form. He doesn't ever let me take the easy way out (constantly changing my weights because I'm a p*ssy). He sees EVERYTHING lol. He takes my measurements at the end of each month cycle. I love this. It's like a celebration every month when the results turn out POSITIVE; it's a feeling that is hard to describe. Adam is making me fucking hot. What the hell are you waiting for? read more

Adam and ABOC is money well spent! If you want a sure way to get fit, Adam will get you there. He is so flexible with his schedule and will do everything to keep up with your busy lifestyle. He makes time for you, unconditionally. He is so good, that apparently he trains the other trainers at the gym. I feel like I'm getting such a bargain training with him, more like privileged. He isn't too tough that I feel like quitting, but he really does push me to the edge of my ability, which is such a satisfying experience. I've come so far so fast, I'm in the best shape of my life. Seriously. And he always keeps the exercises fresh, you will not get bored! Best of all, I can call Adam my friend. His detail oriented demeanor and care about my goals really makes me feel like he genuinely cares about me. I also love the fact that he measures results through monthly data. I love that he's not all jock but also got brains! Haha. Adam is great! I recommend Adam to anyone who is *Serious* about getting results, for amateurs and professionals alike. About me: It's my second month with Adam and I can't wait to get my new results. My sister recommend Adam after being with him for 6 months, now we go together. My first month I lost 7lbs of fat and gained 3lbs of muscle! I weighed in at 167lbs. And I'm 5'8". Before starting with Adam, I had on and off experience with basic strength exercises such as squating, deadlifting, and bench pressing for 2 years. read more

Honestly, hands down the best trainer I've ever had. I've had a trainer in the past that was very blasé about my fitness and overall health. We didn't have a very good dynamic, however, that is definitely not the case with Adam. He genuinely cares about me and my overall health and fitness I approached him earlier this year about getting myself back into shape. He gave me a complimentary consultation (which was extremely insightful) followed by a tour of the gym. After that day I knew I had found THE ONE trainer that I could rely on. Everything from the apps that he suggested (MyFitnessPal), to proper workout shoes, to proper nutrition have been spot on. He's always available (I've texted him at like 2am because I felt bad about eating carne asada fries the night before our session and he actually responded). Oh, not to mention he's completely professional and hilarious. Adam is pretty stern when it comes to his workouts but it's only because he's so passionate. His methods are efficient, which is just what I need when it comes to working out (everything was hurting after our first initial session). I love that he takes the time to explain each move and is very patient with me when I do fall off a little bit (Vegas, why you gotta do me so dirty?). Additionally, he's so encouraging and supportive. It's like with every squat, push, or movement that I make, I have a cheerleader in my corner cheering me on. My health has forever changed since meeting Adam and I'm so thankful to have such an awesome coach like him! Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. read more

Adam is the best trainer I've ever met. He helped me with gaining 10lbs in just 6 months. He followed up with my diet and kept encourage me with larger weights. I found myself a huge improvement in my mindset, mood, and of course strengths. I feel much happier and less anxious now. I am so glad I made decision training with my partners and Adam. I am expecting my next change in a couple months. read more

I've only been training with Adam for about 3 months and I can confidently say that I plan to be here for the long run. Before training, I never.... NEVVVERRRR set foot in a gym, nor felt the want/ need to workout. I had a 24 hour gym pass for 3 years and used it twice. That's not even once a year. All the machinery intimidated me, and I didn't know which workouts to implement to target the areas I felt needed work. I found out about Adam through my sister. Seeing her results in just 4 months of training with him and hearing how passionate she was about living a healthy lifestyle really motivated me to change up my ways. Adam makes everything about working out enjoyable. The most valuable quality about him is the fact that he's constantly educating his clients. As you workout, he explains exactly what you're working on, what's going on in your body, what kind of results it will get you, and he'll even show you other workouts that will give you the same result! In addition, he gives great advice on how to enjoy dieting. I never thought I'd say this, but I actually LOVE working out now all thanks to Adam! read more

This one is a long time coming. I worked with Adam on and off for about 8 months and he has definitely changed me for the better. I don't have any pictures to prove my success because I was doing it for more of an emotional stability outcome. BUT in the end, I can say I've left more Confident and Positive. He has this way of making you feel anything is possible. He believes in you and doesn't make you give up. HE DOESN'T ACCEPT "I CAN'T" and trust me, I've said that millions of times. He's not a trainer that shows you once and leaves you. He'll be there for you. Any questions or concerns you have- He'll be there to answer them and support you. Nor is he a Nazi trainer. He knows your pace and works with it and builds on to it. Every session, I felt an improvement whether it be physically or emotionally. Thanks to Adam I have had great guidance in my fitness goals and I have gained a friend. TRUST ME, I've worked with about 7+ trainers in my life, and ones like ADAM don't come around often. A trainer who is knowledgeable and genuine about you and your concerns. Thank you Adam. From the bottom of my heart. read more

Current weight: 136lbs Before: 26.4% NOW: 19%bodyfat *Dropped 9 lb of fat *Gained 7 lb of muscles Conv.Deadlift: 235lbs! Oh man ..Where do I start! I started my training with Adam To last year in June2013. I remember feeling so out of shape, weak and just overall unmotivated. I've never been thin and always been super self conscious of my body. My first week was already awesome, he started me off slow with 1hr sessions 3x a week. He watched my every move. You could tell that Form & Effectiveness are extremely important to Adam. Under his Nutrition plan, he would text me every night to see if I took all my supplements, if I ate all my meals, or just to see how I was feeling! Talk About That Extra Motivation! I had a bachelorette party in Vegas a month after I had started and I felt SO much better about going! I knew I had a long way to go but I felt confident enough to put on a bikini again. (Something I hadn't worn in YEARS) The confidence, the strength, the self worth, my BODY.. All continued to improve dramatically! As he continued to motivate me I continued to fall in love with my fitness. I work 8-10hours on average doing Hair and Makeup at Gods&Heros Salon down the street from the gym. I now wake up everyday before work to have my 1hour session with him 5x or more a week! This is also something I NEVER thought I would do. But Adam makes every workout fun, different and challenging every time. Even now after 8months i'm still excited to see what new routine he has for me! There is no words for how much Adam has changed my life, my body and my work ethic (in and out of the gym) I've done things I never imagined accomplishing, I feel and look amazing, and most importantly I'm in the BEST shape of my life and I'm so proud of it! *LADIES, You won't understand the reason of how lifting weights WILL NOT get you bulky until you DO IT! It will only get you a lifted booty &those amazing arms you've always wanted ;) *GENTS, just go to his Instagram/FB page and check out his client transformations.. Enough said! (@adamaesthetic) Thank you Adam for always pushing me, motivating me, making me laugh and for being THE BEST. Go #TEAMABOC read more

Adam is the perfect embodiment of everything a trainer should be. I have been training with Adam for one year now, and his passion can easily be seen through the progress of his clients. As someone who was tired of doing the same mundane routines at the gym, Adam makes working out fun and exciting. While some would want to sleep in on their days off, I wake up looking forward to our morning workouts together. Adam's workouts are no joke. You will love the progress you see in yourself, but you will also sit in your car after your session to collect your thoughts and think about what a crazy workout you just had. Adam is an excellent motivator, but he is also very stern. He has eyes like a hawk and will correct you as soon as he sees incorrect form. You don't just gain a trainer with Adam, you gain someone who truly cares about your health and well-being. He will consistently check up on you after your sessions together and give you any advice you may need. He even takes his clients out to dinner during the holidays as a token of appreciation--you can't buy that! The location is great and there is plenty of space. Some of the workouts are incorporated in the parking lot which is perfect for fresh air. I love the fact that the doors of the facility roll up and let in plenty of sunshine. Seriously, look no further if you want someone who can give you that extra motivation, progress, and results. You don't have to take my word for it, just look at the reviews below to see you'd be making the right choice! read more

As a beginner on weight training, my greatest concern was my form and safety. In addition, I had A LOT of misconceptions about weight training when I first started training. During those times, Adam would patiently explain the concepts, correct my positions, and never fail to push me to do better. There are times when I doubt myself on the ability to go up a weight level, but Adam was always there to ensure me that I could do it. I am very fortunate to have found Adam because he is extremely professional and knowledgeable about body building. On top of that, body building is his passion. He truly enjoys seeing every one of his students succeed in accomplishing their goals. Being around him naturally motivates people to be better version of themselves. I never thought I was able to wake up in the morning to work out. I never imagined myself as the type of person to weight train. Adam changed all that. read more

Training with Adam has been the absolute best decision I've made. He is professional, enthusiastic, upbeat, always pushing to train a little harder or work on form a bit more, most of all passionate about reaching your goals. Highly recommended!!! read more

The Short: Give this awesome guy one training session and you'll be on your way to some massive gainz, shredding dat fat, and on your way to a better you! You'll start and finish each session with the famous words of body builder Ronnie Coleman "YEAHHH BUDDY!!!!!" I had weight trained with a few short years and was the typical 'mess around don't know what I'm doing' guy. Adam brought a great deal of positive energy to each session was extremely helpful in breaking down the basics in helping me figure out how properly improve my form from benching to deadlifts. He explains the reasoning behind the exercises you perform in great detail so you can understand the value of your training and apply the knowledge to push you forward when you hit the gym. Flexibility - YOU GOT IT! Since I'm always traveling for work, I don't get as many opportunities as I'd like to make it to Orange County, but when I do get the chance to free up my schedule, Adam does all he can to squeeze me into a training session. Care Bear - Adam is my first and probably only personal trainer I'll ever have, as I consider him a friend above just a 'personal trainer'. Personal trainers are often detached from the clients and don't really care at all if they succeed, as long as they can get paid. Adam is beyond that, he's there for you and because he wants to see YOU succeed. He always goes out of his way to make sure I'm on track, and is always there whenever you have questions regarding both exercise and nutrition. As someone who's been in and out of shape my entire life, I've never felt better and more comfortable with my body. With Adam's awesome training ,advice, and motivation I'm continuously improving myself each day I hit the iron - to a better me. All in all - Adam is the hardest working trainer I know, as he genuinely cares about his clients and does whatever he can to help them succeed. Instead of defining your fitness goals, Adam is the enabler to push you towards in reaching and continuously redefining your fitness goals. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone regardless of gender, age, weight, and fitness goals. Just give this guy a hollar and prepare to begin the journey to the aesthetic! We're all going to make it!!! read more

Before meeting Adam at Aesthetic Bodies, I thought I knew a thing or two about working out and training and eating healthy and stretching and everything in between... But boy oh boy did he open my eyes to all the many things I didn't know! I met Adam at a networking event - I own a Bookkeeping business - and little did I know a few months later I would be adamant he train me. From day one, he's been extremely helpful and supportive, and any time I have questions outside of the gym he's always willing to give me advice and tips. Just one example: I was out of town for work and my sciatic nerve was absolutely killing me a few days post workout. I was a competitive cheerleader and gymnast back in college and had a back injury, so my back gets pretty fussy sometimes. I asked Adam if there was any kind of stretch or exercise for the pain that I could do while I was away without a gym handy, and he sent me links to videos of the exact exercises I should do that would help until I got back. And it worked. He also focuses on my problem areas like that so I don't injure myself more - and helps me strengthen my core to alleviate my back issues. Pure awesomeness. With my actual work outs, he knows exactly when I'm doing improper movements and addresses it on the spot. He pushes me just to that perfect limit every time. The results I've gotten from him are absolutely incredible. I feel so much more energetic and healthy because of him, and feel like I have that "college cheerleader body" coming back and in no time! On top of that, Adam gives back to his clients and shows so much appreciation for us that it just makes ya melt. Oh...and he's not bad to look at himself! He takes very good care of his own body image and is basically his own walking advertisement :P Thank so much Adam for all you do for me!! read more

I have been training with Adam for a 4 months now. I honestly did not expect much from personal traniners until I met Adam. He pretty much set the bar for what a personal trainer is suppose to be. Most trainers are pretty much set in their ways of teaching. Adam takes the time to know and understand your goals. He knows all his clients well enough to cater to their personal fitness needs whether if you are trying to lose weight or gain muscles. He is very reponsive through text and calls. That is very important to me. I can contact him any time of the day and expect a reply almost instantly. I get him 4 days out of the week in term of traning but 24/7 in term service. Do expect to work hard with Adam. You will gaurantee to drench sweat with him. There is no short cut to fitness. It takes determination and patient. Adam truly taught me that. One hour with him is equivalent to 3 hours by myself. The quality of excercises that he pushes upon you is very effective. His knowledge is very vast. As for the gym. I'm really impressed with the layout and equipments they carry. The gym is a good size. Imagine a mechanic car garage filled with equipments and fit good looking people. Free weights are stacked on one side, machines in the middle, and an open area for crossfit traning on the other side. There is a cardio room right next to the juice bar owned by Adelfo. There are 2 locker rooms and 2 bathrooms. Ventilation is good as always. Music set up is great. For additional spaces, people go outside and train in the parking lot. It's a nice way to get fresh air. The gym is fill with great vibes and motivation. I love it every time I come. Everyone is friendly and very knowledgible about fitness. I had membership to 24 hour fitness, Planet Fitness, and LA fitness but being at Aesthetic Bodies makes me feel more comfortable. Definetely a great place to start your fitness journey. read more

I've been training with Adam for about 6 months. He is by far the most motivating and results orientated trainer I have ever worked with. I was very specific with my goals, Adam created a realistic program that was full of variety yet fun !!! If you are looking for a trainer who can work you hard, accommodate a busy schedule, and customize a challenging fitness program ...contact Adam today !!! read more

I've worked with a lot of different trainers over the past few years. But none have been as thorough, competent and attentive as Adam. I think the most important thing, and the only thing that matters, is that he gets results. He listens to his clients and makes sure their goals are being met. He consistently checks in to make sure that everything is going well and that all my questions are being answered. In our workouts, he pushes me far beyond my limits, and has helped my achieve new personal bests. His thorough knowledge of nutrition, kinesiology and exercise makes him the perfect trainer. I would recommend Adam for anyone with any type of goal whether it be weight loss, muscle gain, or athletics. He is a great guy, great trainer and will become a great friend. read more

I am a mother of two and have been struggling with getting my body back to how it was before pregnancy for YEARS, and let me tell you, it's NOT an easy goal for someone who loves to eat, eat, and eat! Before meeting Adam and Richard, I would only walk on the treadmill for a good 30 mins and dreaded EVERY second of it. One day, my friend asked if I'd like to tag along to her consultation with Adam. That day changed my life. We both ended up hiring Adam and Richard to help guide us on the right direction to weight loss. Training was NOT easy, BUT I felt so good after every session. After each training I felt more energized and confident about my body. Adam and Richard was not only my trainers but are two professional individuals who cared about my well being. I absolutely love weight lifting now!!! I seriously didn't know working out can be this fun. I lost a total of 12 lbs and 8 inches off my waist in 5 months. I am so happy with the results, and most importantly, I now understand it's not about dieting for a few weeks to try to get skinny, but it's about eating healthy and being committed to yourself! Thank you, Adam and Richard for giving me the tools, knowledge, and drive to achieve this goal. read more

I've been working with Adam for over a year now, and the entire experience has been great He's a great trainer because he gets results. He has tons of experience working with a variety of demographics with different fitness goals... once you start working out with him, you'll run into other clients and see just how diverse his clientele is. (And you'll be inspired by seeing their progress too!) He always has variations or progressions ready to make sure you're getting the most effective workout. And he is super diligent about safety and good form -- he's constantly assessing and modifying your movements It's impressive that he has such a busy schedule, with so many clients, but he has never been late or mixed up an appointment time. He's organized, professional and extremely good at what he does. But even more than being a great personal trainer... He's just a cool, stand-up guy. He's down-to-earth, funny, and always has a positive attitude and you'll leave every session with him feeling positive as well. Highly recommend you start working with Adam. You'll wish you had started sooner read more

So this is my first time hiring a personal trainer and Ive seen better results in 3 months training with Adam than spending 2 years at 24 hour fitness. I came in, sat me down and had our consultation. I told him my goal was to lose roughly around 20lbs to be in shape for summer. And all i can say is things are going very well for me. So this is my status as of right now. Starting weight: 188.3lb 16.6% body fat Current weight: 172.4lb 13% body fat This is between a 3 1/2 month span! Adam taught me about "flexible dieting" which made my diet meals a lot more tastier and more enjoyable. I didnt believe that I could eat all these calories and lose weight with very minimal cardio. I also had cheat meals here and there so if I stuck with my diet 7 days a week i could have lost even more weight. Adam cant be there to hold your hand every day but he can help guide you to better decision making when going out partying and eating at restaurants. I give Adam an honest 5 star rating because i do believe he is very good at what he does and if your not convinced you can check out his instagram @Adamaesthetic and see for yourself! As for the gym goes, Ive always wanted to work out things that I couldn't do at home or at a regular gym like flipping giant ass tractor tires, heavy rope training, pushing the Prowler sleds(killer work out for legs and cardio) and a ton of kettle bells. The gym is pretty roomy and has the regular equipment a gym has. So if your looking to drop some weight Adam is the guy you want to be your trainer! He will not let you down thats forsure! read more

I've been lifting for coming on a decade now, with the bulk of my knowledge and gains coming from the latter half of those years. By no means am I a newbie. But, I know now that I had picked up bad habits and was unaware of many aspects of training for size, strength, and mobility. I came to Adam looking for professional expertise to help propel me to the next level. I wanted to get bigger, stronger, and injury proof myself. Adam has delivered all of that and then some. The most dramatic example is my deadlift jumping from a one rep max of 300 to 405 within three months--and we only truly started working on the deadlift after a month in! The level of personal attention, his enthusiasm, and desire to see clients succeed are unmatched. Adam knows just how far too push me and conversely when to back up. On top of that, he motivates me to work harder. To be better. To push myself in ways and limits I've never known. Coming from a guy who is as driven, ambitious, and hungry as I am, this is a tremendous compliment and testimony to how inspirational Adam is as a coach. Most importantly, while I value what he has done for my athletic performance, dropping my body fat percentage, and building more muscle, I very much appreciate the extra boost in self confidence that I now have. That feeling of accomplishment upon breaking past my previous personal records is a high that I keep coming back for. Lastly, I'm thankful for Adam as a professional, but I am also thankful that I have made a lasting friend who has nothing but my best interest in mind. Everything he does, I know he does because he cares. You will be very unlikely to find someone of Adam's caliber at your local 24 or LA Fitness. I guarantee it. I drive from Rowland Heights two times a week to train at 6am, and would go every day if work schedule allowed it. read more

I knew Adam before he started Aesthetic Bodies of Orange County. When I first met him, it was abundantly clear how passionate he was about fitness, and that stayed with me because nothing great in the world has been accomplished without burning passion. After working at a job where my lifestyle level was sedentary, I decided to contact Adam to help me lose weight and get stronger because I knew he could give me results. Adam introduced me to an app called MyFitnessPal and FindMyMacros to help me track my protein, carbohydrate and fat intake. Keep in mind, I love food more than I like people, so "dieting" usually does not cross my conscious thoughts. My eating habits are dependent on my stress levels at work; it can range from eating very healthy, to gorging myself with obscene amounts of food, to eating nothing at all. Lucky for me, Adam gave me the tools for a non-restricted way to diet, while enjoying my favorite foods, and achieving my fitness goals. When I first started weight lifting with Adam, and his assistant Richard, I was very intimidated, skeptical reluctant, and feared being a complete novice. But eventually that all changed. Adam and Richard have completely built my confidence, my strength, and continue to challenge me on a daily basis. My posture has improved, my energy levels have increased, and now I can twerk like Beyoncé. Adam displays a tremendous amount of knowledge in the methods that he uses to bring my goals into a reality. He focuses on the individual needs of his clients, but most importantly, he genuinely cares about their well-being. If you are looking for a personal trainer, Adam is your guy. I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Almost nothing great in the world cannot be achieved without passion. And Adam has that burning passion for his work and business. I've known Adam before he started his business at ABOC. He always have had this unique passion for fitness, health and nutrition. It wasn't till a year or so ago when I reached out to him for help with my goal of losing weight & reducing body fat. He provided a very thorough complimentary consultation at the facility he is currently working at called Next Level Fitness. We did a tour of the place, goal setting, background assessments, before photos and baseline measurements al within one consultation. Unlike my past inquiries with previous trainers, I could tell during the assessment that Adam truly care and interested in my well being as a person. Adam provided me with his honest opinions and answers to my questions without coming off as a hard-seller or pretending like he knew it all; he was very easy to talk to which is what I liked. During the assessment, Adam also taught me the importance of tracking my calories & macronutrients on an app like Myfitnesspal for my goals. Training during the first few months wasn't easy but it was definitely challenging vs going by myself. Adam is a walking encyclopedia of informations. He walked me through almost every exercises with thorough instructions and key points. Adam isn't the type to scream or yell in your face like a drill sergeant but instead, he provide great encouragements and compliments. He also checked in on me during my days off to see how I am doing with tracking my foods and how I am feeling after each workouts. After a few months of training, progress started to come and show. He had helped me dropped 22 pounds in bodyweight, reduced my body-fat by 9% and lowered my waist belt by 5 inches. I was very pleased with our work. The facility is very roomy and had a lot of strength and conditioning equipments that you wouldn't be able to find at normal commercial gyms like: difference level tires, battle ropes, sleds, trap bar for deadlifts, deadlift platform and more. The gym is also conveniently located by John Wayne airport and is nearby 5 major freeways: 55, 73, 405, 55 & the 5. Parking is private and is first come first serve basis. The front end of the gym also has a well center that provides other services like Chiropractic, Massage Therapy & acupuncture. Overall, I am very very pleased with the time I had spent with Adam and his training knowledge. I now know how to take care of my well being and nutrition without cutting out my social life and can take on the gym with much more confidence than before. I highly recommend Adam, and his team for anyone's success. read more

You know the feeling you get when you walk into a fitness center and personal trainers to you, feel like used car salesman trying to earn a buck? Adam, one of the best trainers I've ever worked with, (5 total I've worked with) IS DEFINITELY NOT THAT. He gives grade A consultation with absolutely no pressure at all. Gives baseline measurements, photos and answers any questions or concerns you may have. This process (the consultation) by the way is TOTALLY FREE. This guy is absolutely passionate about his profession and I can see it in the way he acts both during and not during our training sessions. He's extremely thorough in coaching and very detail oriented, (Almost OCD it seems in a good way) Before coming on board with ABOC I recently went through a patch in life where I was noticing an asymmetrical development occurring in multiple parts in my body and this is why I decided to seek out for strength conditioning coaching with a bodybuilding background. (Pretty rare nowadays) When we started doing compound movements he let me know of the exact cognitive muscular imbalances I was experiencing all from the exterior with his eye. (I was sold at this point) I signed on as his client in mid January under a very professionally done contract btw (I've been in contact with coaches who literally have contracts that have like four lines, just seems unprofessional) We've done body testings every week and progress wasn't always linear because of the lifestyle I live but when I was on the same page as Adam had desired for me I made SO MUCH Progress. In the span of about 5 months I've dropped almost 7% bodyfat, (23 to 16.7) 17lbs in bodyweight, and I've never really cared about waist sizing but I actually lost 4 inches, and yes all while doing powerlifting based movements. (that's for the ladies if you're reading this) Adam is on point with tracking my calories and macronutrients. I needed a coach who understood the science of nutrition and not just some cookie cutter coach who dishes out meal plans. (big no no in my book) He's made some awesome adjustments during my program, and to keep me accountable he makes me do a measurement assessment on a regular basis I'm currently still working on dropping some bodyfat under his coaching and plan to pursue bodybuilding someday in the future, but for now I just really have fallen in love with lifting at ABOC and Adam truly is a wonderful coach, person, and mentor. He's got a MUCH different outlook on everything than the standard personal trainer and I can say whole-heartedly he cares about my success more than anything and there's no better driving force than that in a coach. That's for damn sure. Thanks again Adam, and I'll be on that stage soon because of you coach! read more

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

This is a long overdue review on Aesthetics bodies OC (ABOC). It has been a few months now with my trainer Adam. Around May, I approached Adam to better myself as I am getting older and wanted a lifestyle change. I dropped pants size from a 36 mens to a 32 mens. My shirts now properly fits and doesn't look like I am trying to suffocate my arms and stomach while being 3 months pregnant(I'm a guy) LOL. It is the best decision that i could have ever made. I've trained with few different trainers but Adam stands out from everyone else. Adam is very informational and thorough. He is a detail-oriented trainer. Also, Like everyone says on previous reviews, He is VERY passionate with helping others achieve their goals. He takes your goal in mind and makes sure you reach that goal and beyond. I have days where i wanted to give up but his motivation makes me motivated to come in and do work. Adam makes sure you stay on track. He embodies everything you will need in a trainer from correcting your form to understanding nutrition (which I'd say is the most important part in this new lifestyle). He has taught me so much about this lifestyle i had no clue about a few months ago. I have so much confidence now that I feel like I can become a trainer and take his spot LOL! (Jk Adam, you da best). The gym we train in is very well equipped to do whatever is need to reach my goal. It is definitely different from commercial gyms. I was always afraid of working out due to being judged by others in commercial gyms but Adam instilled confidence in myself. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, the atmosphere in this gym is very welcoming. If you're reading this and wanting to better yourself, call him!!!!! You will NOT be disappointed. Like I said, this was the best decision i have ever made in my life. The only down side to all this is that I now have to buy new clothes. Everything is wayyyy to big now! . read more
