Come to Paul for all of your fitness and dietary needs. I have never looked and felt as good as I did when I was regularly coming to Paul (MWF & I did private coaching a few times). I am going to be back !!!! on a hiatus :(. read more

I've taken a few bootcamp classes with Adrianne. She teaches three sessions: - 6:00-7:00am, Mon, Wed, Fri - 7:15-8:15am, Mon, Wed, Fri - 6:30-7:30pm, Mon, Wed, Fri So far, I've only taken the night sessions with her. Classes usually always start on time. They're located at the Cheviot Hills Park. **Plenty of parking. The workout is outdoors. You'll need a yoga mat or a towel, to lay on the grass. When you get there at 6:30, the first thing she has you do is run a big lap around a part of the park. From there, she has us doing lots of walking lunges, squats, side lunges, high knees, knees hitting your butt, kicking, squats with resistance bands, jumping squats... you get the picture. Tons of leg work with a big sprinkling of running. You're working out your cardio and legs for a good 45 minutes of the class...followed by some floor work: Pushups, situps, downward dogs, plank, and some other moves which Adrienne makes up. Followed by stretching for 2-3 minutes at the end. The class size is pretty small. There are usually around 7-12 people per session, a mix of beginners to advanced. And Adrianne is very good at managing us all so that we are able to get a good workout. She'll have you running more, or doing jumping jacks to wait for people to catch up to you. Or, she'll have five or six pairs of people all doing different things. (Kind of like cooking several dishes in the kitchen). She's a pretty good instructor. She's funny. And she'll fill you in on what's going on in her life to distract you from the pain you're feeling when she's working you out. And, depending on how hard you work yourself, you will get sore. Also, I like that, when you're working out with her, you're sweating real sweat. Not the fake sweat you get when you're doing yoga in a hot room. (*But I do like Yoga as well!) Quick Tip: Don't complain when she's telling you to do something. She tells us, that she'll only make us do more when we complain. Just do it. :) read more

Despite the class being called "Bootcamp: Morning crunch." It's not the typical in-your-face obnoxious drill instructor that I had expected. We had Adrienne at this location and she was the opposite of that! She had a sort of quiet intimidation. You listened to what she told you to do... no yelling needed.. In group classes like these, part of the motivation comes from yourself so if you're slacking off and cheating on the moves.. then boo to you. It's really as hard or as easy as you want to make it. I always worked up a sweat and I was definitely sore the next day. I was NOT able to take her classes back to back and had to wait a few days to get over the soreness. There were many people in each class and each at a different level of fitness. I think Adrienne did an awesome job trying to challenge everyone at their own level. *two thumbs up* also because Adrienne was one of the few that offered evening sessions!! :) read more

I took a Bootcamp class with Adrianne several months ago, and I enjoyed it. The bootcamp kicked my butt, but what was really cool about it was that she understood people have different levels of fitness and she encouraged people to push their own limits, not try to match what other people are doing. She provided a lot of good nutrition tips as well. The majority of my class was there because of a discount deal from a site like LivingSocial or possibly Groupon (can't remember which), and at the beginning of the class, there was a large group, but as each week came, the numbers dwindled and dwindled. However, no matter what, Adrianne was always there. I'd definitely sign up with this company again if they offered more deals that matched the one I had initially purchased. read more

I have attended the West L.A. Bootcamp with Adrianne for over two years, and I have to say that it is hands-down one of the best workouts you can get! Adrianne incorporates cardio, strength training, balance and agility work in every workout and works hard to keep progressing the class each week. Every workout is different and focuses on a different area of the body (core/arms/legs/etc.) I have seen several people completely transform their bodies at this Bootcamp, and I personally lost several inches from working with Adrianne!! Please note though-- this is a GROUP class. The class is designed to help as many people as possible achieve a great workout, but it is not going to be specifically tailored to you or your needs. If you want that, you need to find a personal trainer. It's so frustrating to see people come in for one class via groupon or living social, list off all of the exercises they can't/don't want to do, complain they aren't getting enough personal attention, and then are never seen again. Please, please, please, if you don't want to do a group class where the instructor focuses on the entire group instead of you personally, don't come. The class is tough. Adrianne is tough. Morning Crunch isn't there to help you slowly ease into working out or to help you maintain a moderate level of exercise. It's going to kick your butt! So make sure you are ready to work hard before you sign up. If you stick with it though, I promise you will be happy with the results!! read more

other than her ability to bring the BEAST out of you with her quite-yet-intimidating demeanor, Adrienne really is sweet. she shaved off 45yrs and thought I was 26 :j #ShowOffPost read more

Adrianne is very motivating! She is a great instructor, she will push you to your limits. I'm very happy having her as my instructor! She always switches up routines. Parking is no problem. read more

I work out with Adrienne at 6:30 and love her class. Her class is structured (a plus for me), tough (but in a good way) and somehow the hour goes by quite quickly! read more

I love working out with Adrianne! She keep us in great shape, and keeps us laughing too!

I have been attending Morning Crunch Bootcamp with the Amazing Adrianne for nearly three years now...rain or shine, exhausted or not it's something I can always count on! This all started out as a way to get in shape for my wedding and ended up changing my fitness lifestyle completely. When I first came to Bootcamp I was very nervous about starting a new work out regime. What if I can't keep up? What if everyone is stronger and faster than me? Adrianne immediately put my fears to rest. She constantly encouraged me while continuing to motivate me and correct my form. Over time, she has become very familiar with my personal limitations and injuries and will often offer alternatives if I cannot or should not perform a particular exercise. As an added bonus, she sends out weekly email blasts with nutrition information, recipes, tips for working out outside of bootcamp and general heath and wellness pointers. While this is a group fitness class, Adrianne understands that every person's body is different and makes it a point become familiar with all of the students in the class. There is a reason that after so many sessions of Morning Crunch I continue to sign up...IT WORKS. Because of Adrianne I was 100% wedding dress ready and I continue to strive for a healthy and fitness loving lifestyle. read more

I started Morning Crunch almost 6 months ago because there was a Groupon deal I couldn't pass up. I had been looking to get back into my workout routine but didn't want to join a gym. I wanted a class or something that would keep me accountable for working out and harder to make an excuse to not attend. Morning Crunch/Adrienne does just that! Before I signed up for my first session,i read the bios on each of the teachers and was very impressed with each one of them. I was also pleased to see that Adrienne was going to be teaching the class that was I enrolling in. Her experience, her personality and her approach to fitness is just what I was looking for. 6 months later I still feel the same way. She is very energetic, always mixes up the sessions with different types and styles of workout outs. She likes to also check in on us personally and asks how we are feeling each morning and how our nutrition is going. Adrienne has a very informative blog spot which offers other activities to do in between the workouts and suggestions of healthy meal alternatives as well as recipes. My first day of class I did let Adrienne know that there are certain exercises that I have a hard time doing because they make me a bit dizzy and she was fine with that. Adrienne gave me an alternative exercise that I could do and never made me feel bad or worse for not being able to do them. Some of the exercises can challenging but if you are looking to change your body then you will need to go outside your "workout" comfort zone. I continue to reenroll each session because I enjoy the workouts, the people and of course Adrienne. read more

i've been extremely over weight for the past 5 years and i had a friend who had started bootcamp. She told me i should sign up, that the instructor was great and i would enjoy it very much. i thought bootcamp was for people who are very athletic. first day was nothing what i expected. it was much more fun and exciting! the intructor was super awesome and he did a great job teaching us different ways in doing certain exercises. being that i am over weight i cant do everything perfectly like it is suppose to be done. almost a year later not only do i know how to do alot more exercises and run alot better! i also got healthy and lost 53 pounds!!! i love bootcamp! i love the class! i love my workout buddies! and i love the instructor! the word bootcamp scared me but it is sooo much fun! read more

I've been doing the 6:30pm West LA workout with Adrianne for over a year now. I keep renewing every session, because it has what I need: good time and location, broad range of exercises (with lots of variety), and good people (the coach and the others working out). We start each workout with a 1mi run, then return to our mats for some exercises. Sometimes these are more leg based, sometimes more arm based, always core-based. The usual: pushups, planks, glute squeezes, shoulder presses with resistance bands, etc, but also lots of more interesting moves to work legs, balance, core, arms, shoulders, flexibility, etc. We run 1mi in the middle, and sometimes (especially in later weeks) we do some sprints and other cardio. I'm in the best shape I've been in in 10 years thanks to this class. Each week of the 5-week session gets a little harder (it can be challenging if you join in the 4th or 5th week, beware), then starts over. But each session is a little different, as is each class of each session. Usually, we do something a little different each night, and she just walks us through each exercise together. This session she's had some cards printed with a 10-15 minute "circuit" that we follow at our own pace, then we repeat as many times as possible. We repeat these 2-3 nights in a row (it's fun to try to get better/faster), then she switches it up before it could get boring. I joked with her that she could just post these online and we wouldn't need her, but that's not really true, because I get: * accountability (it's motivating that so many vets return session after session) * coaching (she helps with form, nutrition tips, etc) * help (my shoulder was having issues and she showed me some modified exercises on the fly) Plus, I know that next session she'll probably use a different method to convey the exercises, which keeps things interesting. I read a recent review from someone who came only once. Some of his points are valid, and should be addressed in a welcome email (my first day Adrianne was a little late and a veteran showed me the run we all start with - I would have been lost without that help), but the rest make no sense to me: there is no "typical" class that can be "exactly" explained, because each class is different, which is part of the draw. After complaining about not being told "exactly" what to expect, he then complained that there wasn't enough variety. I'm confused. I'm not sure when he came, because the last few classes I've been to, each of us has asked her for (and gotten) help with form, etc on some of the exercises. Anyway, not every program is right for every person, but I've been motivated to return session after session, and I'm not the only one. read more

I attended the West L.A. location of this boot camp, at Cheviot Hills with Adrianne...(for 1 day !). The one star given here is because a refund was immediately offered after I called to express my disappointment. (I'm guessing the refunds happen often here). First impression, PRIOR to day 1, was when I phoned the office to inquire what "exactly" does the one hour of exercises include. Person on the phone was very vague, I don't think she knew...just said, "you know, some cardio, some, strength training, some resistance work, that kind of stuff". I'd like to know EXACTLY what exercises because I may have some certain limitations. So, I signed up anyway. 2nd impression; I play phone tag with the trainer prior to meeting her and when she left me a voice mail, she stated that it would be best to e-mail her because she doesn't answer the phone because she is "...too busy writing a book"...why do I need to know that ? Apparently she wants me to know that this is about "her", not the customer. 3rd impression; I arrive 20 minutes early for a 6 a.m. session at the proper place, in the very dark park at the basketball courts. Only one other person there until 5 minutes AFTER 6:00...then the trainer shows up with a few other campers.(she's LATE). 4th impression; She says good morning to us, NO introduction, doesn't ask for paperwork, then says " why don't you guys go on your run"....Really ?...my first day and I'm supposed to know where to go & how far ???...OK, so I followed a few others and lost them because I walked most of the way. We ran/walked about 1/2 mile then came back to our mats at the BB courts. Still no introductions as the trainer continues chatting, making small talk with some of the veterans in the group. She then pointed to a list she posted on the fence with about 6 exercises to do on our mats. OK, down on my mat I go-planking, push-ups, squats, burpees...while the trainer hastily explains each exercise, then continues chatting while we each grunt it out on our own. No pushing, no motivation, no concern. after the mat exercises, we go back on the same run...apparently we do this little routine for the ENTIRE hour,...EVERY day ! I could have done all this at home ! The website said have fun, get fit, we motivate you ! This trainer was not not at all enthusiastic, friendly, informative or motivating. Seriously, why do I need a trainer who does NOTHING. 5th impression; After the hour, I spoke to her and said I was very, very disappointed; this was not as advertised, not motivating & not fun at all. Your exercises are few and not at all creative. And, I asked why she was late. To all this, her responses were only defensive and excuses, even for being late. She said, "well, I wait in the parking lot until everyone arrives"...how is that fair to those customers that are ON TIME ? Then after congratulating herself on her "amazing program" that she designed & perfected, she tells me "maybe this just isn't for you". Well, you are correct; an unprofessionally run business is NOT somewhere I want to spend my money. And I get attitude & excuses when I voiced my opinion. She may be in great shape with a lot of fitness experience, and probably a good writer, but she fails as a boot camp trainer...mainly because of her attitude. I've been to another boot camp 10 years ago (actually the original boot camp that inspired all the others in L.A.) and it was 10 times better than what Morning Crunch advertises themselves to be. Unfortunately for me, it evolved into a completely different type of health/fitness program. So, Morning Crunch...I guess I should have heeded many of the other reviews here on Yelp that were consistent with my sad experience, and interestingly enough, the other locations appear to be just as bad. I am grateful, however, that you failed me because I found a program that is MUCH better, with knowledgeable trainers who actually care, motivate me, remember my name and text me to see how I'm doing. So thank you & best of luck. read more

I've been doing the 6:30 am morning boot camp for 5 months now and I'm loving it! Adrianne is a great motivator and I like how she switches up our workouts all the time with challenging moves...I always feel it the next day which I love...it's the good kind of sore! I think morning crunch boot camp is a great workout and a great way to start your day! read more

I have been attending the 6:30 pm bootcamp with Adrianne for at least 3 years. What I love about it is the variety and the challenging workouts. What you should expect...you start with a mile run. Then you do a bunch of plyometric exercises led by Adrianne and these are never the same each week (although they build on each other so you can build on what you've learned). You run another mile in the middle of the session. More exercises with some sprints thrown in. Then end with a stretch. The word "boot camp" can be intimidating, but trust me, I am not that athletic and I am able to make it through each session and she will give you modified (easier but still effective) exercises if need be. Her goal is for each person to succeed. Adrianne is a consummate professional. She cares deeply about each and every one of her clients and each and every one of her classes. You can also get extra coaching for nutrition on the side. She gives you access to all kinds of recipes, tips, etc. on her website. I'd say "run, don't walk" to this opportunity. read more

What can I say about Morning Crunch West LA Boot Camp? Well for starters, it is awesome! I felt I was in an exercise rut and then my friend told me a BootCamp she joined and inspired me to check for place near me. So I googled for Boot Camps in West LA and I couldn't help but choose Morning Crunch. Besides the affordability of the program, the instructor had amazing qualifications, so I thought I'd give it a try and I'm glad I did! I feel great, I look great, the workouts are great, and my day goes great. Morning Crunch West LA Boot Camp ROCKS! They have evening classes too FYI. read more

Adrianne is amazing. She's got a knack for knowing what your limits are, and helping you push past them. She's funny, knowledgeable, and motivating. I highly recommend giving it a shot. You'll be happy you did. read more
