Having been in the fitness industry both as a trainer and as a client, I’m always a bit skeptical when making the decision to start training one on one. Adam absolutely changed that mind-set for me. I’ve never had a trainer so dedicated in seeing me progress quite like Adam.

As a women, it can be intimidating having a male trainer, however I felt no barrier with Adam. When I had health issues that caused me concern, I felt like I could share personal information and felt no judgment. Adam tapered back my workouts on days I was struggling and pushed me when he knew I was ready for progression. Adam is one-of-a-kind, he listens and designs workouts specific to milestones one hopes reach whether it’s strength training, fitness, or endurance.

At 45 years old, 5’4” and 145lbs, I never thought I’d see the day that I dead-lift 200lbs. With the coaching and direction Adam provides, he helped me crush that goal. I love working out with Adam. We have fun, we make jokes, no workout is ever the same and I feel he is genuinely invested in helping all of his clients reach their health and fitness goals. Adam is the BEST personal trainer I have ever hired.

“I have worked with Adam over the duration of his Professional Athletic career at Rugby Canada. Over the 8 years, he demonstrated the upmost of professionalism towards his sport and training. We worked together through numerous injuries whereby he showed immense determination and dedication to improve. He is very meticulous in his approach to everything and always searches for the ‘why’ which made his training with the National Team not only effective but incredibly strategic.

He was not only an incredible physical contributor to his team, but a huge morale booster. He has a very empathetic approach to his interactions with others and makes great efforts to connect which gives him an ‘X-Factor’ in his craft. I have no doubt that anyone who is lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Adam will see overall performance benefits and improvements in their general well-being. “

“Working with Adam for three years was an absolute pleasure. I experienced a professional athlete who showed as much mental resilience, perseverance and dedication as any in my career. I saw him do an exemplary job of taking responsibility for his body, pushing himself to the limit while also putting in additional work to learn and understand his bodies needs. After sustaining a significant knee injury Adam maintained an incredibly positive attitude and mental focus through some very difficult days. Adam is intentional, focused and purposeful in his actions and I have confidence he will bring those qualities to the table for his clients.”

My initial interest in having a personal trainer was due to injuries I had and being able to have a customized program to fit my needs. I have trained with Adam for a year and ½. I have had an ongoing injury that has impacted my workouts. Adam takes his position seriously and wants to see his clients healthy and achieve their goals. He has been very diligent in adjusting my workouts with insight from my physiotherapist so I can obtain the strength and stability I need to be able to do the activities I want. Adam was a National rugby player and throughout all of his extensive training and his own experiences with injuries he has a wealth of knowledge. He has an endless variety of exercises he taps into and is capable of adapting to exercise options on the fly if something is too difficult. Adam is very attentive to proper technique and creates a safe workout environment.

"Working with Adam is a powerful experience. He brings his focus, knowledge, and discipline learned as a high-performance athlete to his coaching, training, and leadership offerings. His technical understanding is superb and his real-world understanding of human motivation adds an important component to the challenge of making progress against objectives, and ultimately, to finding success. Give yourself an unfair advantage and get Adam in your corner."

I enjoy the personal training experience, but what I have learned is; not all trainers are equal. Adam has been exceptional to work with, he has created a training program specific to my needs and level of commitment, never to much but always enough to be progressing. Adam’s knowledge is endless, as is his experience in both fitness and sport. His attitude is fantastic, he is respectful of my time and my fitness level. The programs are always presented with a welcoming simile and attitude.

Recently, we have been working to remedy a historically difficult shoulder. On Adam’s recommendation and a result of his referral, I was able to see a top Physical Therapist in Victoria. Through their collaborative efforts, my shoulder and general posture have improved dramatically and are now to a point I once thought would not be achievable.

It’s not always easy to get to the gym, life gets in the way as there is always some other “pressing” issue that I could easily attend to instead. However, I find training with Adam a welcome distraction and our sessions highlight my week’s calendar. I look forward to each one and always leave the gym in a better space than when I arrived.

Adam not only has the expertise of personal training, but also brings a unique lens to his training style given his experience with injury, rehabilitation, and high performance sport. I had the pleasure of seeing first-hand how his dedication, holistic approach, and strength and conditioning knowledge had a positive impact on his recovery from injury.

I believe that although a very challenging experience to go through, that his experience in injury rehab makes him a great personal trainer to work with regardless of your individual goals. I’d recommend working with him!
