I may not be an Olympic athlete but with this machine I sure can train like one. Overall: A great experience that I would recommend anyone.

Camp Adventurewood

Locally owned & operated

My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

This trainer is GENUINELY passionate and supportive of your health & fitness goals. Complimentary post-workout snacks were even provided at the Strength Sunday session I attended. This is a group training event that AOB offers every Sunday, 8:00-9:30am at Creekside Park in Walnut for ONLY $5. As a busy mom, it was good to find something early enough that wouldn't conflict with the rest of the day's schedule. I just have to remember to RSVP for the next one because space is limited to only 15. (I requested my reservation at artofbalance247@gmail.com but also saw others reserve via IG @_artofbalance ). The session I attended included a warm-up of drills using resistance bands that got the blood flowing to the lower body and simultaneously focused on the core. The workout then consisted of circuit training which hit all the major muscle groups. I'm feeling the next-day soreness in my delts, back, abs, and glutes. (I can already tell the the second-day soreness is gonna hurt so good)! The exercises varied in intensity, but were set up so you always had the ability to push yourself to failure if you wanted. We used a lot of different implements to keep it interesting - Bosu ball, medicine ball, stabili-ball, resistance bands. Finished with a fun sprint relay/planking exercise. Clients of all levels were in attendance and all seemed thoroughly satisfied with the regimen. A full body workout was great for my first taste of Strength Sunday. I would also be interested in sessions that targeted one major muscle system at a time, like a leg day or a core day... but maybe the trainer reserves those programs for his individual clients instead of the group training.

I thought I'd never want to give up one-on-one training, but the small group classes are a great alternative; for one thing, the sessions are longer (1 hour instead of 30 minutes) and for another, working out with a group pushes you a little more because the competitive spirit kicks in!

The new gym is: No Limits Sports & Fitness Academy, 3221 Industry Drive, Signal Hill, 90755. You can still find all Nate's info at www.ptwithnate.com. **Here's what I said before, and it all still holds true!! I've been working out with Nate for about a year and a half now, and I could not be happier. I've worked out most of my life, but I've always floated from one thing to another... weight training, Pilates, yoga, cardio classes, running - I could never stay with anything, because I always got bored.But with Nate, I never get bored. He incorporates a variety of different activities into my 30-minute workouts to keep me (and my muscles) from getting complacent. Not only that, but he tailors workouts to each person's specific goals. I have a friend who works out with him as well, and her workouts and mine are never the same because we have different goals. Nate is an expert at training for whatever your objectives may be, from weight loss to strength to specific sports goals. I'm fit, but I'm not naturally super coordinated. Okay, fine... I'm a klutz. Fortunately, Nate is really good about demonstrating each exercise for me, and he never gets impatient when I don't get it right away. He just finds a different way of explaining it until the light bulb finally goes on. And since he knows that coordination is not my strong suit, he incorporates exercises to help with that as well. He's very friendly and encouraging without being over the top with the cheerleading. He's also NOT one of those trainers who shouts at clients to "motivate" them... ugh. (Why would I pay someone to yell at me? Plenty of people do that for free.) Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I've never had an injury working out with Nate. I work out pretty hard, and he always pushes me to do more than I thought I could, but he never pushes me so far that I hurt myself.
