Adam is a positive and thereby wonderful motivator. Not only is he a veritable fountain of knowledge about health and nutrition, but he also sets an admirable example himself in the way he lives and keeps himself fit. This Bootcamp will increase your strength and stamina and overall fitness - you'll notice the toning and increased strength after the first day (once the initial soreness recedes)! read more

I am now into my 2nd boot camp with Adam. I started out after taking off 2 yrs from working out! yikes!! So I didn't know what to expect, but I have to say that I am challenged and at the same time Adam helps me adjust to my own level. he sets it up so different people can all work out together even if they're at different fitness levels. He has workouts in the morning at 3 different times 5 days a week so it's easy to fit it in. I like his supportive and fun attitude, he's certainly not a drill sergeant but more of encouraging trainer. For me I have noticed that my fitness level is improving and it's inspiring me to eat better. read more

I have been a gym rat for the last 10+ years and have been around the block when it comes to exercise classes of all kinds. After moving to Santa Monica, I took a few months break from my exercise routine. So I decided to sign up for the Westside Adventure Boot Camp to get me back into shape while enjoying the beauty of my neighborhood. This boot camp has been WONDERFUL and just what I needed to ease into working out again. It is 4-weeks long and you workout for an hour five days a week. Adam is a great instructor. He knows his stuff and brings a great, playful energy to the class. Once a week, Sarah teaches and she is super tough--but in a completely sweet and unassuming way. This is not a military style boot camp by any means and people are encouraged to work at their own pace. What is great is that every workout is different, and you never get bored. There's weight lifting, sprints, hill work, stairs, etc. Plus you can't beat what is basically the most beautiful gym in the world -- Palisades Park, the beach, Santa Monica stairs. It's awesome. I always leave feeling happy and energetic. Perfect way to start your day. Definitely signing up for another round. read more

Going to Adam's Bootcamp was the first step in my 2011 New Year - New Me attitude. Bootcamp 1 was 5 days a week for 4 weeks - I can honestly say that after 4 weeks I really do have a whole new outlook and Adam and his bootcamp are the reason! Between Adam and the great ladies in the camp the experience has me excited for Bootcamp #2 to start next week. Adam is a great motivator and we really don't do the same thing twice (although I'm hoping for a repeat of that "obstacle" course - I had a lot of fun that day.) Adam's workouts are truly designed for everyone attending camp. Whether it's your 1st camp or your 30th - you are challenged. Adam also sends out emails every now and then about nutrition and healthy habits. Extra motivators to keep you going The best parts about camp is being outside along the Palisades Park in Santa Monica and 1 day a week we're actually out on the beach in Venice. Does it get any better than that? So, if your looking for something that will take you out of the rut of the gym & treadmill come join Adam's Adventure Bootcamp - you won't be disappointed! read more

I continue to love this bootcamp. It is challenging and provides me with a good baseline fitness so when I enjoy kayaking, backpacking or other sports I am stronger and don't get common sports injuries. Adam is welcoming and encouraging every session with important insights about health and fitness delivered with a dose of humor. read more

This is such an amazing experience - everyone should try it at least once! When I decided to do a boot camp I knew that I would get in better shape, but I had no idea how much it would help me emotionally as well - my anxiety is way down and my energy and positivity is through the roof! Adam's program is a perfect mix of weights, cardio, yoga and positive reinforcement. Plus you can't get much better than starting out every day on the beach! read more

The word "boot camp" usually brings up images of some burly guy in camouflage standing over you screaming and yelling while you try to press out yet another push up. At least this is what I thought when I considered attending a boot camp to get fit. Now, to be sure, there are a few boot camps in the L.A. area that have turned the military boot camp into a money generating model, dressing soft mooshy lawyers and desk workers in camouflage, issuing them dog tags, and charging them an arm-and-a-leg in exchange for verbal lashings and a lot of sweat. Not so with Adam's boot camp. While the Westside Adventure Boot Camp is tough and is sure to get you in shape, it also is a supportive, kind environment and, best of all, it's all women. Nothing against boys, but sometimes that testosterone can get mucho-competitive and may not be the most comfortable environment, especially if you haven't hit the gym in years. Every weekday morning will find Adam up at the crack of dawn leading three classes of women through a warm up (consisting of a short jog and lots of mobility exercises designed to loosen you up and get your heart pumping) and then through a bunch of circuit training. M, W and F (at 5:30, 6:45 or 8:30 am) are considered "total body conditioning days". While you supply your mats and hand weights on those days, Adam will often bring various other toys like elastic resistance bands, cones (for obstacle courses), and ladders, and then lead everyone through several circuits, while carefully explaining all the exercises - in between the circuits you do a bunch of running as well. Tu and Th. are considered "cardio" days where you'll be using stairs, inclines, sand, etc., and traipsing all over Ocean Avenue between Montana and San Vicente, and down to the beach as well. The camp is super fast paced, but everyone works at their own speed and Adam gives encouraging words, as well as modifications to the exercises, if they are needed. He also pushes everyone like crazy - I think this workout is better than most workouts that I've had with personal trainers, plus, you are outside under the palm trees and at the beach, so if you have to work out, at least palm trees make it easier to go to that happy place in your mind, imagining being on the beach with a cocktail. Adam must have the most insane rolodex of workout routines in his head - I've never seen him repeat any workout twice, so at least it stays interesting and makes the time seem to go faster. Of course it would be cheaper to just go out and do it yourself, but I've finally gotten over the lies I tell myself - unless someone makes me show up and kicks my a&^ into gear, I would be snoozing, or at least sitting on my couch with a cup of joe and Good Morning America. So suck it up and sign up! You'll be glad you did - especially when the workout is over. And to be honest, I'm only giving it four stars because I hate getting up early. That makes no sense, but whatever. Deal with it! read more

Adam Brewer is a genius. Adam has the gift of teaching that is motivational and always positive.I have trained with several groups and trainers in my lifetime and Adam is by far the most knowledgeable and motivational trainer I have ever encountered. I have belonged to a gym for many years, but after this awesome experience, I can never go back to gym workouts. His boot camp meets 5 days a week in Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades and my body has changed to a level that it has never been. I am in good shape and I have been working out for years, but his training and magic formulas are the key. I can not say enough about Adam and he makes working out fun, but also very effective. Check out his website. read more

I have been attending Westside Adventure Bootcamp since the summer and I am hooked. I have been fatter and thinner versions of myself over the years, but I have actually seen the shape of my body change since I started working out with Adam. It is amazing. Adam is a great motivator and a positive person, which makes it fun even for someone like me who is, ahem, "working on their skills." It is a great way to start the day. I highly recommend Westside Adventure Bootcamp! read more

Adventure Boot Camp is fantastic! With about 2 months to go before my wedding, I was in need of an change to my work out routine and needed that final big push before the big day. Adventure Boot Camp was the perfect solution. You get the private training results in a supportive and fun atmosphere. I gained speed, strength and lost pounds during my time as a camper. Adam is so great and keeps you motivated and working out with a smile on your face...which is tough to do at 5:30am! Working out as the sun was rising in Santa Monica was such a treat and made for a much healthier lifestyle. I highly recommend his program! read more
