If youre looking for a place to grow, then this is the place for you! Adam and Zack are masters in their craft when it comes to training where they breakdown each workout. They take the time in the beginning to meet you where youre at whether youre completely new to lifting or a seasoned trainer yourself. This is a playground to develop yourself. That being said, be ready to work when youre there where they will push your limits so trust the process along with the goals youve set with them. Your future self will thank you for it.I started training with Zack back in January where we went over the basics along with focusing on my process when it comes to workouts and nutrition. He gives you feedback incrementally where its easy to incorporate in your daily routine. Im always on the go with my work where its difficult to have consistent structure where training here has helped me learn how to develop a mindset to adapt to those changes along with establishing a system that best works for me. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to start. Its never too late

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

There is no better personal trainer than Adam. He is incredibly knowledgeable, listens to you, pushes you, motivates you but most importantly, you see results. I started with Adam when I lacked motivation to workout on my own, wanted to get in shape and just needed an overall change. When I became pregnant, he knew exactly how to accommodate me with safe exercises and trained me well into my third trimester. For those moms out there, you know the postpartum body struggle is real. I took about two years off after having a baby so I needed his training and expertise more than ever post-pregnancy/post-quarantine and I have lost 20 pounds so far. I still have a ways to go, but I feel hopeful that my progress will continue and I can maintain this healthier balanced lifestyle. So if you have been contemplating hiring a personal trainer, do yourself the favor and just contact Adam. If you’re willing to put in the work, you won’t be disappointed.

I would give Aesthetic Bodies OC 10 stars if I could! If you are considering getting a fitness trainer- look no further than Adam. I had gone to Adam to prepare for my wedding this year and I had no idea where to begin. It had been a long time since I had last been in the gym, so needless to say I was very intimidated. The minute I sat down with Adam, my nerves were eased. Adam is incredibly smart and knowledgeable about fitness and health. He broke everything down in very simple terms for me to understand, and his way of working is very approachable and helpful. His workouts always left me incredibly sore all the way until our next session- which I love! I could feel my body getting much stronger and looking more toned as I continued to work with him. He helped me gain the confidence to workout on my own and understand how to maximize my routines for my body. In addition to this, Adam is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet! He makes you feel so comfortable and is extremely motivating. He was so accommodating to my busy schedule, and really showed me how to enjoy working out. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone and everyone looking to get serious about their fitness. You wont regret it!

I train with Adam and my friend twice a week and its the something I look forward to after a long day at work. Adam is responsive, positive and passionate about fitness and nutrition! He fosters a positive environment through his actions and words. He is also patient and attentive in being a hands on coach with providing guidance in correcting my form and also explaining what we are doing when doing a specific exercise. In the past 3 months that we have trained together, I am down 9% body fat and 6lbs in body weight.Prior to training with Adam, I was trying to lose weight on my own, but knew that it was time for a change when I had not seen progress over several months. I completed 10 sessions of personal training at 24 Hour Fitness, but found myself bored due to the repetitiveness of the same arm, leg, and core routine each week (often the change was in the reps and weights). I also wanted to find someone who could also help me with my nutrition and also challenge me to step outside of my comfort zone. After talking to Adam during our consultation, I knew that he would be the best resource in helping me to get back in shape.Thank you Adam for helping me get leaner & stronger and also educating me about nutrition when I thought eating too much fruit would be bad! I would have never tried pulls ups or the squat rack on my own, but am excited of the progress that we have had together!

I’ve been going to the gym for a few years now practically doing the same workouts with just minor alterations. At a certain point, I felt my progress slowly reaching a plateau and I needed some sort of catalyst to boost my training. Adam has a good reputation on yelp so I gave him a try for a few sessions.He was able to squeeze me into his schedule on short notice on my first visit. I told Adam that my main goal was firstly, to have explosiveness in my jumps (I want to dunk someday) and secondly, to build functional strength and stamina. Adam got right down to business and structured a full workout for me right on the spot. Every exercise we did, he would explain the benefits, proper form, and answer any other questions I had. Remember, I’ve been going to the gym for years now and after my first session with Adam…let’s just say that I should have trained with Adam years ago.I would recommend anyone that is looking for a personal trainer to give Adam one shot. I am almost 100% certain that he will get you closer to your goal. His passion for his clients is unmatched and you can tell from his social media posts. I can tell that he pours not only his enormous wealth of knowledge on training, dieting and science into his sessions but also his heart. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been training for 10 years or if you’re starting for the first time, he will give you his full dedication.For me, I was only looking to get a few sessions from Adam but I’ve already booked my fiancée for at least a month with him. I can tell that she’s really excited and I’m excited for her!

Training with Adam has resulted in an incredible physical and mental transformation.My initial goals were to: lose body fat, gain muscle definition, and learn how to take care of my body from a exercise & nutrition lens.And while I met all those goals, including dropping from 18.6% to 14.9% body fat in 10 weeks, there was so much intrinsic value gained, including:Confidence:For one of the rare times in my life, I felt SUPER confident in my own body - I was so proud of how I looked and felt. And confident at the gym. The squat rack or dumbbell rack no longer intimidated me, and I knew what I was doing.Nutrition:I understood how my body responded to certain types of food, and learned how to prep meals that were low in calories but allowed me to feel full, especially when I was preparing for my photoshoot.Mindset towards progress:And each time I hit a PR, Adam would celebrate me with so much enthusiasm. Even if it was adding weight, an additional rep, a 0.5% decrease of body fat. All progress counts. I earned that you can choose to feel good and proud of yourself WHENEVER you experience growth, no matter how small it is. You dont have to wait until you get a 6 pack to feel good. You can feel good if you go from assisted pushups, to bodyweight pushups, to pushups with additional weight on your back.What makes Adam stand out:- He cares about each client, including what our life outside of strength training looks like (our emotional health that week, life events, life goals, nutrition, exercise regimen, etc). With Adam, fitness involves so much more than just showing up at the gym and getting a workout in. It involves how we take care of ourselves outside of the gym - which affects how we show up.- Hes incredibly encouraging and has NEVER made me feel guilty for having a cheat meal, or falling off of my workout routine one week. Adams motto is that one bad day, doesnt make a bad week.- Most importantly, Adam encourages incorporate fitness in way thats sustainable for YOU. Not everyone has the same amount of time to dedicate towards fitness. And thats okay. There isnt a one-size-fits-all approach to reaching your goals. You dont need to be at the gym 5 days a week, training hardcore. You can do it at a sustainable pace that fits your lifestyle, while enjoying food you love, and still reach your goals.If youre looking for this kind of experience with a personal trainer - get on Adams waitlist!!

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. 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.

When I first read the reviews here, I was skeptical about all the 5-star ratings. My previous experiences with personal trainers were always monotonous and uninspired. Id start out motivated and give up after a few months because of non-existent results, injury, or boredom. I couldnt reconcile my previous experiences at other gyms with the ratings other Yelp users were giving this place. Curiosity mandated that I learn more, if only so that I could call BS.After almost 3 months with Adam, I still look forward to going every day. Going to sessions 4 days/week, I started to see and feel results after about a month; however, the most important change for me was in my overall feeling about exercise. In the past, I had never associated gym-based exercise with fun. Adam and the people here make all the difference.Adam has made the most incredible impact on my life. He is passionate, knowledgeable, and motivating providing the tools necessary to ensure you are getting the most out of the time you are putting in. I dont always love how fast our hour goes by, but Im always thankful for it afterwards when I can feel and see my improvements.Beyond just helping people get in shape, Adam has cultivated a strong sense of community among his clients and members at Next Level Fitness. They have built a big family of people and continue to welcome anyone looking for a place to belong. If youre looking for a gym that is inexpensive and indifferent, but allows you to check off another box in your routine, look elsewhere. If youre looking for a gym that provides a focused, efficient, and deliberate method for getting you in great shape while at the same time keeping things fun and friendly, I highly recommend Adam from Aesthetic Bodies OC.

Where do I even begin with Adam.. Hes simply amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I first got introduced to Adams services through a friend who I noticed was starting to look really fit and transformed before my very eyes...and inspired me to want the same for myself. My friend sent me to Adams yelp page and I decided to pull the trigger and try it out for myself.In the 9 months Ive been seeing Adam, Ive seen much progress and improvement in myself as I work towards my fitness goals and I certainly have Adam to thank for that. Previously, I would go to the gym (on and off) on my own and tried other coaches/programs in the past but I either (1) didnt see the results I wanted and/or (2) eventually left the gym/coach/program because it eventually proved to be too intense for me and was eventually over it. Im currently still an active client of Adams and I dont foresee that changing anytime soon. Adam has a way of challenging you but not in a drill sergeant sort of way; hes encouraging (even though Im definitely crying on the inside after every session with him... Haha). He holds you accountable. And he takes a holistic approach to your fitness in that your progress doesnt stop at the gym and with what you eat but its also a mental thing too so he also asks you about the highs/accomplishments youve experienced on anything that day or week to ensure you appreciate and acknowledge the wins similar to the mini wins on your fitness journey.When you first meet with Adam, he gets to know you as far as your goals and where you are from a fitness and nutrition perspective. He also gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you have about fitness in general. He then walks you through his coaching style and begins to teach and explain the game plan on how youll work together to reach your fitness goal. Thats what I really like about Adam from the start... That he really takes his time with you, listens and explains the why on what youll be doing from a fitness perspective (in the gym) and nutrition perspective. For me, I explained to Adam the road blocks and pitfalls Ive experienced with other coaches and diet/nutrition plans and he really customized his plan for me so that its both optimized to reach my own goals but also somewhat modified in a way so that I can more likely stick with.Once you start sessions with Adam, youll find that hell challenge you but he understands your limitations (like if youre a novice at the gym for example). But know it wont be easy and will never be easy since easy doesnt deliver results but at least Adam will help you through it. I see Adam in semi-private sessions so there are usually about 2-3 other clients in the same session but Adam customizes everyones plan based on their goals so everyone is doing their own thing. Adam does a great job in balancing his time appropriatly between clients.Im addition to being a great coach, hes super easy to talk to and has become a great friend! He creates a great environment and provides you all the tools and guidance to reach your goals as long as you do your part in the journey.In summary -- highly recommend. 5 stars. :)
