Training with Adam has been wonderful . I never thought I would have a trainer or could afford one . However ,like a lot of people I knew Adam from SHRED appp that I used and still use. I actually never thought in a million years I would see him in person at my gym, but there he was . He saw me using the app and came over and said hi. He told me he still trained at a gym under Sunset Towers and Sunset and offered a free couple sessions to help keep figure out my workout plan and path. I've been training with him for two years now and it's sometimes the singular thing I really can look forward To in a hard week . His app and his workouts are the best . I'm the leanest and strongest I've ever been and he has crafted me into my personal feminine ideal. I have my booty and my curves BUT not the unneeded body fat lol. Every session is different and we target different muscles and different ways to pinpoint them . He is very specific and detailed in my legs especially and knows every exercise in the world seemingly at this point . We laugh a lot and talk about just about anything - that helps me to be distracted through a lot of the strenuous stuff . It's like I've figured out my life and body at the same time haha Adam as many know requires accountability . On days we don't train I usually have assignments to do on my own . He either checks them on the app or in person by asking me for a text update . He also checks on my diet and nutrition weekly and at the start daily . He pretty much is just a huge needed part of your life read more

I've trained with Adam for about seven years now and his app SHRED for two and a half lol. Not only has Adam changed my body he has changed my life . He has instilled a level of confidence, discipline and pride that I never had before and it bleeds into everything I do, relationships and especially my business.      In the first two years I lost 20 pounds and had my body fat percent down to a consistent 13-14 on a hydrostatic from a high of 26 percent . The best part is I worked my ass off to get there BUT I maintained it for the next five years as almost an afterthought. Adam instilled the habits and kept on me to keep pushing through adversity and change in my personal life. He does my nutrition , programming and uses the app to make sure I do basically the same workouts we do, but on my own.      Adam also is known for checking in ..... A LOT!  Almost every day I hear from him . Maybe that's because we are basically family now, but he just cares so much and wants you to be your best you. It's cool, it's cool to have one person champion you so hard . I am so grateful to have found Adam , what seems like a lifetime ago read more

I started training with Adam 7 months ago after having my second kid. I was regularly practicing post natal pilates but at 8 months post partum, I needed a reset to feel like myself again. A friend recommended Adam, who was her personal trainer for years, and I haven't looked back! Adam is kind, funny, and smart. He is always encouraging me to try new exercises and to get out of my comfort zone. If something is too challenging, he'll say we'll try again in a few weeks as long as I keep up with the personal training sessions (2x a week) and home assignments. No machine or exercise is off limits. On days when I'm not at the gym, he'll text to see if I finished the day's workout -- usually from the SHRED app (which is great, btw) -- and how I'm eating. Being held accountable by Adam is definitely a motivator, not only because he'll make the next in person session really hard but also because he puts in an incredible amount of care and effort to create a training plan. He really just wants his clients to succeed and I appreciate that. The hour training sessions fly by, mostly because he's regaling me with life stories, skincare regimens, vocabulary definitions, or book recommendations. Aside from a challenging workout, the best part is the ten minutes of stretching at the end. Recovery is often forgotten but so important! I'm in better shape now than I was in my 20s (healthier nutrition, proper exercises for my body type), which I didn't think was a possibility after having two kids so thank you, Adam. If you need someone to get you in shape, look no further! read more

Adam is a fantastic trainer. He takes the time to get to know you. Adam focuses on strength training, nutrition and developing healthy lifestyle habits. I would highly recommend Adam to help you get in to the best shape of your life. read more

I've been one of Adams clients for about a year now and can attest that he is, in the truest sense, a "personal" trainer. He is an incredible human. Supportive, motivating, inspiring, and invested in your success: in and out of the gym. He checks in outside of our sessions, cheers me on in my career, relationships, and helps me stay on track. He listens to what I want to work on, and incorporates movements into our workouts. He has helped me increase the amount of weight I can squat and deadlift - which were two areas I wanted to improve. He corrects my form and makes adjustments to help me improve. Most importantly, he knows when you're at your limit and doesn't overwhelm or push you to be unsafe. Adams goal is to give clients the tools to success so that they can build what they learn from him into their own lifestyle. He explains why we do movements so you can learn the importance instead of being kept in the dark. He can give you tough love, but he can also sit you down and talk to you about what's in your head all in the same session. He constantly reminds me that this health journey is not just about what I have to lose, but I what I am gaining: strength, inner confidence, resilience, and new goals to blaze through. I'm so thankful to have met him and have him in my life. More than a trainer, he has become a true friend. I cannot recommend him enough. Adam is the man. read more

Before March 2020, I had been a fairly regular gym goer, though my workouts were decent. At the time, I thought I knew what I needed to know about working out, even though I had not hit my goals. Then the pandemic hit. Then I had my first kid. 3 years later, I was completely out of shape, tired, and the heaviest I had ever weighed. Knowing that I both wanted and needed to get back in shape (especially for the kid), my wife reached out to Adam Summer. And I am so glad she did, because he didn't just help me lose weight and get back in great shape, he gave me a foundation that has changed my life. This is not hyperbole. I have had trainers before, and they have given me workouts. Adam didn't just show me the workout, he guided me through what and where I should feel the exercise, got me to understand why it's important to have a mind-muscle connection, and helped me adjust to make sure I got the full benefit of each exercise. He gave me new workouts every week, helped me understand my nutrition goals, and texted me every day. I mean he really checked in every day, just to make sure I was on track, and to see if I had any questions or concerns. I think it's important to note that Adam expects you to follow his program all the way though, and he makes it clear, because it is the only way he can make sure you get the results you want. He puts in a lot of time and energy, so it totally makes sense why he expects the same. In just 3 months (and a lot of hard workouts and proper nutrition), I lost 30 pounds, have much better mobility, gained muscle, stronger discipline, and more energy for life (my wife and kid are thankful too). If you're lucky enough to have Adam as a trainer, put your trust in him, and follow what he gives you, I bet you'll be as happy with your results as I am. read more

I turned 50 two years ago, but I still enjoy the occasional pool party in Vegas or Hollywood. Last summer, I knew I was a bit out of shape, but when the shirt came off, a good friend pulled me aside and told me I needed to meet his trainer, Adam Summer. I contacted Adam the following week. My goal was to get back in shape after a ten-year break, made worse by two years of pandemic pudge. Adam is a guy who doesn't back down from a challenge, so he agreed to take me on as a client. His only condition was that I had to agree to follow his rigorous program for diet and exercise. Adam works out with you on the days you train with him, but he also sends tailored workouts you need to complete on the days you aren't working out with him. He expects commitment and pushes you to deliver your best. He once called me after 10 pm on a weeknight to ask me why I missed my workout that day. The guy truly cares! Adam's not some stereotypical meathead. He's an intellectual whose mind is his most impressive muscle. We attempt to stump each other with SAT-style vocabulary words between sets. Away from the gym, he runs a charitable foundation and is part of a prominent group of emerging social impact leaders. Six months later, I am in the best shape of my life, have more energy, and have expanded my vocabulary too. My only regret is that I didn't start taking exercise and diet seriously many years ago. I had no idea that I could get in this kind of shape. I've packed on muscle and dropped fifteen pounds of fat. I have a section of my closet that contains shirts and pants that haven't fit me for a decade, but that I couldn't bear to part with. Those clothes fit me again! Pool party season cannot get here fast enough! read more

My boyfriend Mon has been training with Adam for over five years. I've been training with Adam for two years. We have made incredible gains training with Adam. Adam is an inspiring and effective trainer. Adams sessions are learning opportunities. His style is motivating. Adam teaches form, innovative techniques and effective exercises. What's unique about Adam is he provides tools to maintain training on your own. He has spearheaded an amazing training app. His video app allows you to workout as effectively without Adam so you can maintain your gain. Adam gives you video direction independent of him! Adam creates a nutrition plan and often checks in with you with calls and texts. We love training with Adam. He has genuinely changed our lives both physically and mentally. Roger D read more

I have trained with Adam Summer since 2020. I am also a fitness trainer myself- coincidence ? Definitely NOT. I had first known about Adam from my use of the SHRED app , but most of this city (West Hollywood) have used the app at one point, so that's not a surprise . What was a surprise was how receptive Adam was to train me and mentor me as a trainer . The skills , method, knowledge that I have I Imbued is beyond value. Adam has extolled high level precepts about scheduling, motivating, coaching- while also detailing the intricacies of form, technique, programming and lifting effectively. Adam is the protype of what you need to look for with a trainer - finesse, adaptability , didactic, and with truly the truest of good intentions . Adam has contributed to a rapid physical transformation, that I attribute to changes in my programming, nutrition and intensity. My body fat percent is down 4 percent since we started and quantitatively, my lifting max weight reps are up 20-35 percent across the board. My body is more symmetrical and very refined and defined, each part of a muscle group getting adequate attention and reps. I'm grateful I went ahead and improved my body and my craft. He also makes you laugh , smile and think with every session, and that's a nice bonus. read more

I used to be an athlete, but as I've grown older, it's been harder and harder to find the time to dedicate to really taking care of myself. I hadn't been exercising nearly as much as I used to, or eating the rights kinds of foods ...I found that it was really starting to take a toll on my energy levels, sleep, etc. Fast forward to six months ago: I sought out Adam based on the reviews here...I needed someone who would hold me accountable, check in on me -- never let me slip. Thought it might be too good to be true, but over the course of the past six months, Adam has whipped me into the best shape of my life. Outside of the 1:1 sessions, he'll give you assignments for every day of the week and check in on you to make sure you're not slacking. He'll make sure you're eating the right foods to keep you fueled and healthy. I'm leaner and more toned, can run 5+ miles without hesitation, I'm happier and more energized (those endorphins!), and I've been sleeping better than I have in years. Adam is kind and thoughtful, but he'll push you. He's flexible around my crazy work/travel schedules. I also have some chronic lower back issues that he's worked around. He's become not only my trainer, but my friend. Work with Adam, and you won't regret it. read more

This is long overdue! Im not the kind of person who write reviews, however, I do read them often to form an opinion. I feel that I owe it to Adam to tell you what a rock star trainer he is. I started working out with him since summer. I had a remarkable transformation not only body wise but about the way I think about food. I will say that if you are not fully committed, he's not the right guy for you. He will make you accountable for the other week days you are not training with him so be prepared! Hehe- I do appreciate a trainer that just doesn't dial it in. He's really committed and caring. It will be tough at times but you would get rewards. Seriously, he's the real deal. Awesome person as well! Just start, that's the hardest part( at least it was for me) he will guide you thru the rest! read more

It's really easy for me to say that working with Adam was one of the best decisions I've ever made. At first, I was just looking for a personal trainer to help me lose fat and build muscle. What I got was so much more (tangible AND sustainable results that I never thought were possible for me) and has better prepared me to maintain and build on my health goals for the rest of my life. Adam is selective with who he takes on as a client, and after working with him I understand why. The amount of time and individualized planning that goes into his work with each client on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis is something I never experienced with numerous other trainers. Adam worked with me on optimizing my diet and macros in a way that I can actually follow for more than 1 month, shared his extensive knowledge on exercise form and targeted muscles (he wants to make sure that YOU learn the exercises and can do them on your own without having to rely on him), developed weekly customized workout plans for days I didn't work with him, and gave advice on workout gear and best practices for tracking progress. Not to mention his regular motivational texts and calls. Because Adam puts in so much work for each client, he expects the same amount of work from you, and it's in your best interest to buy into it. He will keep you accountable to your workout plans and diets, and is constantly checking in until he can trust that you're following your plans. If you're not fully committed and ready for lifestyle changes, you won't get the most out of working with Adam. Finally, Adam is just an amazing person to work with. He truly cares about your success, and while he may be persistent, it comes from a place of tough love. Adam is a trainer, city council member, business man, pianist, poet, and father (among many other things). I say all this to emphasize that he understands work, life, and struggle, and uses his knowledge to support you both inside and outside the gym. With this renaissance man, I got a trainer, mentor, and friend, and so will you. read more

Game Changer! Adam is legit. I have trained most of my adult life, 20 years, and as I age, I have learned my body only responds to changes in my workout routines and diet plans. Adam understands this about people. He will change your workouts as you hit plateau's, change your diet to optimize your workouts for the week, and understands different ebbs and flows of life. He will get you cut for that vacation, so your hard work pops in that swimsuit, get you stacked when you're not, and adjust your diet to accommodate those cuts and gains. A benefit about working with Adam is he was one of the founders and lead trainers of SHRED, an app that allows you to follow your weekly plan even when you're traveling, or schedules don't allow a training session. This allows you to stay committed, no days removed from your plan, and in doing so, you see consistent results. Another benefit of working with Adam is he pushes you in ways not only physically, but mentally. I believe physical goals are 90% diet and 10% physical, but to achieve this spread you must be 100% mentally dedicated. Adam brings a game-changing mentality that will bleed into other aspects of your life, relationships, work, spirituality, etc. With Adams' assistance, you can reach new levels of life that you thought were impossible. Adam makes the impossible possible. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a positive coach in and out of the gym. read more

I've trained with Adam for the past four years. I was grandfathered in through my girlfriend Katelyn. He set me up with a tight schedule and assignments for the days we don't train. I use his Shred app ( along with the millions of others who use it.) I have drank the Kool Aid , I jumped in head first and trusted in the process- my life has never been the same. I've gained thirty pounds of muscle over 4 years , leaned way out and created an athletic and symmetrical look. I've gotten the body I used to pray for, I used to think was only a dream. I am writing this now, well, because now I've made it. I told him I would write the review when the time was right - I think he thought I forgot . BUT , I never did, I just wanted this journey to be anchored in the turquoise waters of dream body first . If you can get a spot with Adam: 1 Buy into the system and trust him. 2 Do your workout and nutrition homework 3 He makes you accountable , lots of texts !! Just accept that ! 4 Listen to his form and technique notes and make the changes on your own I am so lucky to have Adam in my life , to have SHRED in my life , to have a purpose every single day . read more

About 4 months ago I messaged Adam as I was pretty fed up with the usual LA trainers. Most of them I have trained with are distracted, have no desire to coach on the process, and only offered support only a couple hours a week. I was looking for a trainer who could not only coach me in the gym two times a week, but offer support the other 5 days. That's the exact type of trainer Adam is. He's incredibly knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and the body - any question you have he has an insightful answer for. Adam checks in regularly and makes sure that you are on track. That 24/7 accountability has taken my fitness in four months to higher levels than the past couple years combined. Adam is also a genuinely great guy, who is easy to be around and quick to become friends with. He cares about his clients and wants the best for them, which means he's also not afraid to get in your face and make sure you keep progressing. I can't recommend Adam enough if you're looking for real results and real accountability. Just be prepared to work hard! read more

Adam has one of the most comprehensive workout programs and he pushes me to the limit, that's for damn sure. I don't even like to call him my trainer, I see him more as a coach. He's also helped me have a better understanding of my eating habits. He goes over my macro counts, my food journal, the timing in between meals, and he's always checking in on this before we train every morning. If you're looking for a real down to earth guy that will be dedicated to changing your training habits he's the man. Text him if your ready for some crazy life changes in a short time. read more

Best trainer. Adam has helped me reach my goals quicker than anyone ! Thanks so much Adam

Believe the reviews. Adam is really THAT good. I found Adam though yelp about 4 months ago. Having so many five star reviews, I was skeptical. Over my life I've trained on and off with trainers in New York, London, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Unfortunately, l had never seen results in the past. Adam is in a different league. Adam truly loves to train people. Every session he's charismatic, motivating, companionate, and sometimes (just sometimes) a little funny. Most importantly, he's extremely knowledgeable about fitness. Thanks to Adam, for the first time I'm actually seeing significant results -- not the "only-I-can-notice" results, but the results where even people at work make comments about how I've changed. One of the best parts is that Adam has his own app (yes, actually) called SHRED. On days where I'm working out by myself, I use Shred. It's like having him as a trainer every day. Adam makes you feel like you're the most important client he has. Every week, Adam creates custom workout plans for me that are truly custom. He holds me accountable for my diet and my training. He texts me nearly every day to check in and checks my progress on the app. Don't go to Adam if you're not willing to push yourself and change your lifestyle. He's dedicated his life to fitness and he doesn't stand for mediocrity. If you just want to work out once a week to "check-the-box" then he's not your guy; however, if you want to get serious about real results, go to Adam. read more

What can I say about Adam Summer, he is one of the craziest characters I have ever met in this godforsaken excuse for a town called Los Angeles. That being said, Adam is also one of the most dedicated, positive, upbeat, hard working, friendly, caring, and genuine people that I've ever had the pleasure to call "my shirtless trainer". He will motivate you and keep you honest to your plan and goals. He is fully committed to your success and will put a great amount of his effort and time into helping you get where you want to go. I have introduced and recommended Adam to several friends as well as family members because he is that good. Adam truly cares about his clients and that means a great deal. He is an incredible personal trainer. His poetry? That's another story. (This is not a paid advertisement) read more

I've trained with Adam for a few years as both his client and eventually next to him as a trainer. His ability to change lives and change bodies is second to none. He took care of all my nutrition , my programming , my entire fitness and health life. My gains were insane; more in six months than the previous six years. He is known because of his app now all over the world, but i was trained by him when he didn't even have that tool to help, and he worked his butt off to make sure I was accountable and successful. He also helped teach me about my newfound passion. He literally inspired my career and I can't thank him enough. He showed me that it is about passion , desire and caring. I didn't know a thing about being a PT until Adam showed me the way. He helped me become the person I am today. read more

As a late bloomer in the fitness world, I had to do my research and found Adam through his stellar reviews on Yelp. While usually I'm skeptical when there doesn't seem to be a dent in someone's business, I gave him a shot. And boy, has he delivered. Not only he was patient and encouraging with a beginner like me, but gave me an INCREDIBLY helpful nutrition plan that actually works (he does not sell 6 pack inducing magic pills, in case you were looking for those). He is super intense, but goes above and beyond to make sure that you are and feel safe. His workouts are fun and not as traditional as you would expect. He also uses this super cool app that he designed for the workouts you are supposed to do on your own. But above all, he is the kind of guy you want on your corner. His discipline shows not only in his own routine, but he pushes you to apply this on your everyday life. He doesn't have to do this, but he does it anyways with a big smile on his face. He knows how to keep you accountable and makes you follow up every time, whereas it is about your workouts, or something that he pushes you to go outside of your comfort zone. He is worth every penny, you won't be disappointed, and who knows? ...you may even make a new friend. read more

Adam is one of a kind. He pushes me hard but somehow I enjoy every minute of it. His personality is so great -- I'm usually laughing whenever I'm not out of breath. He mixes things up so it never feels too routine or boring. I never know if I'm going to be doing heavy deadlifts, swinging battle ropes or doing TRX. And that's what keeps me coming back...and what keeps my body adapting. I've had trainers in the past that seem to just be going through the motions like they have a set pattern they do with all their clients. Adam has a specific plan for me and tailors things to my needs. I'm over 50 and need a bit more mobility work than younger clients, for example. And Adam always saves time at the end of our working for stretching. Adam is THE MAN! Highly recommended. read more

Training with Adam was the very best surprise. I've done the Shred App for quite some time and have been its biggest promoter, it changed my life. I met Adam at retrofit and recognized him right away from the app. We chatted about it for a while and I told him about some of the stop I was interested and that I liked on the app. He made a comment that he had some flexibility to take on a client who was motivated and had the bandwith to pursue Training with him with his level of accountability. The first two months were intense well because I chose that option and asked for that level of accountability . I sent him food journals. I was given a six day a week workout program with two of those days with him. The program changed every week and used SHRED app to help me on my own. He monitored my progress. My body fat percent through hydro static testing, my muscle gains, my stamina and muscular enduranzce. Month 3-5 were easier, working out and communication with Adam became an afterthought. The workouts became something that I looked forward to more than almost anything, they became my active meditation, my outlet to my agree, my cathartic release of emotion. My body fat is now Under 10, I started at 22 . I have a girlfriend who I adore and am more confident in about everything I do. If it's training verse a trip , or training verse a car? B I'll choose changing my life like this in a heartbeat. I would choose this over 1 million dollars cash lol I'm not even joking . read more

As someone who literally never worked out before working with Adam, I can confidently say Adam has changed my life. He has a rigorous attitude with his clients, and is fully committed to his clients success. Will he bother you every day to make sure you're getting your workout done? Yes! But I wouldn't have it any other way. Adam is so much more than just a personal trainer, he's a motivator, teacher, and I often finding myself learning something new about life when we train. As mentioned, I never used to work out, but Adam has been super patient with me, teaching me proper form, keeping me accountable outside of our sessions, and I've made insane progress in just a few months. I'm grateful to be one of Adam's clients and I can't wait to continue to progress. read more

Adam is the absolute best. He listens to your training goals and does a great job at creating dynamic and comprehensive workouts for his clients. Each session has new and different exercises and I'm always totally wrecked after! When we aren't training he provides detailed workouts via the Shred app which is easy to follow and really mixes up the workouts based on type (eg bulk, athlete). Finally his focus on food (what to eat, where to get it) is a big help to make sure the hard work is paying off. I've seen very good results and actually love wearing a swimsuit now to show it off! Adam is also best a great person which makes the workouts fun and engaging. Would highly recommend. read more

Adam Summer is not your conventional personal trainer. Does he know his way around a gym? Sure. If anything, I'd go as far to say that Adam is a God in the gym. His training methods are distinct and scientific which promotes a rapid yet natural physical transformation of ones body. After all, he did train Captain America. However, as with everything in life, so long as you're willing to commit and do the work (both in and out of the gym), you will see the results and achieve your goals. But that's a guarantee that anyone can give you; so you may ask, "Okay great, how is Adam different though?" Aside from the fact that he's a highly intelligent and multifaceted individual, he essentially becomes your life coach. Once Adam commits to you (but only if he sees your sincere effort), he makes it his duty to see you achieve, both physically and mentally in life. Adam's investment in you doesn't end once the clock strikes the hour mark. I've been training with Adam for close to eight months now and he's become a Brother to me. His wisdom and encouragement has helped me face and tackle my challenges and I feel blessed to have someone like him in my corner. Thank you Adam! +------------------------------+ | ADAM SUMMER FOR MAYOR | +------------------------------+ read more

I've been working out with Adam for the past few months. All my life I've been active and working out on a fairly consistent basis. The past couple years though, my schedule got to be so much that my work outs became less and less consistent. I got to a place where I really needed some motivation and training to jump start me back into incorporating working out with my busy schedule. I've never had a trainer before, so I started to research different possibilities. I came across Adam, and decided I'd make the call and give it a try. I'm happy I did. Adam is extremely good at what he does and he's passionate about it as well. The motivation I receive from him not only comes from the workouts themselves, but on non training days too. What you get when you train with Adam is someone who checks in with you on most of your non training days to make sure that you are doing your part with eating right and working out on your own. That's huge. It felt like I wasn't doing all of this on my own. The good thing about Adam is that he does this because he really cares about seeing you transform not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. It's the belief that transforming your outside really does equate to a change in your perspective on everything in every day life in a positive way. The other thing I really like about Adam is that he has you do movements and exercises that are unique. I've been working out all my life, and half the stuff we do are things I've never done. It's a refreshing way to work out. By the time the hour session is up, I definitely feel like I've gotten all I can out of a workout. Adam also takes the time to figure out what your goals are and a realistic way to achieve them. I'm really happy I decided to train with Adam. Not only is he a great trainer, he's just a good person. I highly recommend Adam if you are looking for a personal trainer. read more

Adam Summer is not like any other trainer I have worked with. Adam has become the one constant in my life everyday for the last 20 months. Since our first session he has listened to my struggles with working out and helped me to set goals to live healthier. He is informative with every exercise and patient with me until my form is perfect and I am comfortable throughout each set. He pushes me when I need it. I love when Adam checks in on me after our session to see how I'm feeling and what I have eaten to follow our workout. He holds me accountable. I have never in my life wanted to go to the gym on my own or felt comfortable moving through circuits as I do now. Adam's training app has helped me to gain confidence and have no fear moving through a gym floor on my own. I usually hear Adam's voice in my head saying " Go get it Jess," or "You got this," " Hips back," or " Chest up!" I love that every Sunday Adam will send me my workouts for the week to do on my days I'm not training with him. Especially during COVID I have needed a constant routine and Adam has provided that for me. He cares about my health, my well being and has become a great friend. I see him with his clients before and after me and he treats every single person as if they are family. You can feel how genuine he is just being in his presence. Light and energy emanate from him and I am so grateful to have him as a part of my everyday. You would be missing out if you didn't train with Adam Summer, he is THE BEST! read more

I had an awesome experience with Adam, I literally "googled excellent personal trainer West Hollywood" and his name popped up, he definitely lived up and went beyond my search request We worked out for almost 2 months and he was very motivating and positive yet firm and respectful with great direction. He makes you feel comfortable and gives you a lot of helpful feedback that helps you even when you're not training with him. I saw a great change in my body and my diet. I highly recommend him- he's a pro. I'll be back to see him soon! read more

One year down baby!!! I made it, I did it, I won!! I promised myself I would do a year with Adam and see if I could make it, on his workout schedule , with his rules, following his nutrition plan etc. let me tell you it was an adjustment . I've worked out for ten years pretty consistently and I've pushed myself as hard as I could with the knowledge I had. I like to think of myself as a fitness junkie, done workouts from about every magazine and online source and really thought o was doing it right. I just wasn't getting any results, it's frustrating doing anything 1.5 hours a day , 6 days a week and not getting results. I'm 37, I should be at a point where I'm constantly improving , but instead I was finding myself plateauing. I found Adam on Yelp and he put me in a flexible time slot. He is busy but he found a way to make it work. He trained me twice a week and set up a plan on his digital platform for four days a week. It incorporated cardio too, and lots of high interval Training. I wanted to only gain lean muscle and to look lean the whole time. I didn't want to bulk and then spend the last few weeks before I wanted to be lean on a calorie deficit. We just worked out butts off together instead and I gained 13 lbs of muscle and body fat finally under 10 percent( 8.3!!) . I'm showing abs, I'm muscled up as I've ever been and I went to Vegas and was actually having fun at the pool parties. I know it sounds superficial, but it's actually been the most exciting thing in my life that I can remember haha Adam will check up on you a lot ! He will be tough on you, he will expect communication and accountability. BUT he will get results , crrrraaazzyyy results read more

Adam is truly the best trainer and someone who will hold you accountable, acknowledge your accomplishments, and not let you get away with s***! He stays on top of you where you really start to create a healthy lifestyle and consistency where it's equally challenging and fun. I look forward to every training session and am also happy when it ends (only because I'm dead in the best way possible). read more

I've trained with Adam since August 2016 and not once have I been bored or ever felt unchallenged. That's what I like the most about Adams technique is his constant creative workouts changing every time I go for a training session. Never underestimate what the session will be because it is Always unpredictable and a good intense workout with enough athleticism built in to customize each client's needs. I like the athletic aspect that Adam brings to the hour of training. Few trainers push their client in this way with balance and agility and fine tunes it. I've had personal training most of my adult life beginning at age 28 yo and experienced many many trainers since that year of 1994 and Adam is so far the best at getting me full intense, hard work out.. As a 52 yo man, I feel Pretty good about my ability to take on the new move or workout that Adam surprises me with. I never respected any trainers except one other until meeting Adam and taking it seriously because Adam takes his career and knowledge very serious ... My improvements are very satisfying! If you do as Adam says and seriously follow and make the instruction given to you a priority, then you will hit a point that is a big incredible change of fat and muscle mass completely changes. You will be given instruction on how to change your metabolism with diet and exercise and maybe take a body scan test (I did) to see the fat % gradually diminish and muscle mass increase. Then when you see the abs come through, you have reached a level Of fitness you never thought possible. At least that was my feeling at age 51. I had no idea that my body could make the change as Adam has made happen with a lot of self accountability and discipline to keep on the clean food path with what Adam will guide you along with how much and what to eat. It's a blast once you really see the changes!!! Adam you rock and I admire your serious drive and passion for what you do. Go for it with great motivation and a very serious will to be the Best you can be. Reward yourself with Adams wisdom! read more

I should start by saying that I went to Adam for a very different reason than he's probably used to. I didn't have any aesthetic or weight-loss goals; instead, I was looking for someone to help me build functional strength to work toward some athletic goals that I have (hand-balancing and aerial work) while also working on my flexibility. I knew I needed more guidance than I could afford to get in-person, so the fact that Adam would provide guidance for the rest of the week outside our sessions was a big factor in me reaching out to him. I will say that Adam and I couldn't have two more different personalities. He has a huge presence, both in and out of the gym. It took a while to get used to him calling and texting to check in about how things were going, and I'm sure he'd say I am terrible at communicating pretty much anything. Nevertheless, after some fine-tuning here and there, he got me on a routine that worked. At the end of the day, though, the results speak for themselves. After 9 months: I went from having to do some exercises (esp. upper body) with no weight at all to now working on unassisted push ups and pull-ups with some assistance, which will directly apply to the hand-balancing and aerial work I want to do. I'm close to lifting my bodyweight on a few of my lower body lifts despite never touching a barbell until this year. I could not jog more than 100 meters or so at a time (about half a block) without being completely winded, but I can now run a mile faster than when I was in high school and am working on my speed and endurance. I managed to lose about 15-18 lbs (from 123-125 down to 107-108) without really focusing on weight or body composition. I'm closer to my middle split than I've ever been, and my side splits are teetering closer and closer. I have a better ability to engage my muscles and pull myself into a stretch in an active way that I didn't have before. I have a much easier time supporting myself in a bridge than I did before, and pressing up is getting easier as well (when I'm not completely worn out from all the workouts). read more

Hello everybody! My name is Jelena and I am a client of Adam Summer. I have a very particular taste and preferences when it comes to my fitness and my health. When I met Adam I was pretty fat! I was also frustrated with equinox trainers and when I met Adam I had 3 equinox trainers in sm, Westwood and Hollywood locations. So, I knew exactly what I'm looking for in a trainer! Adam has it all!!! 1. Super knowledgeable about anatomy of a human body. 2. Super professional about his craft! 3. Takes his time and extra effort to work individual program for your individual needs. 4. You really see results (go to my instagramm for videos)! 5. Gets you motivated and change your mind about having a personal trainer (in a good way!) I totally recommend Adam over many other trainers I had in my life because I know how important it is for some people who are serious about the actual results! read more

I never prioritized nutrition or fitness or dynamic and athletic training. I just did what I could when I had time. When I chose to take my health and fitness more seriously I did as much research as a proper Gen Y kid could (Yelp reviews). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7pJZP8l9aY Adam seemed like a real genuine guy and in insane shape, however he wasn't too big or bulky, he is just athletic and shredded. I was expecting him to be standoffish BUT when I reached out to him I had no idea he would change my life. In a matter of months I learned an arsenal of exercises to incorporate into my workouts. A plan was implement that involved a few days a week with him and eventually scaled down to only one day with him as I improved and could do more on my own. He taught me about nutrition and exercise methodology in a way that makes sense to a novice. He made me accountable to do my homework. He also introduced me to kettle bells, TRX, plyometrics, ViPR and everyday was different, keeping things fresh. I feel lucky he took me on and excited for it to continue. Beware, if you don't take training seriously, he will drop clients. He is truly someone who wants your success more than his own financial success , even if that means cutting you loose to prove how serious this is to him. Thanks for everything, Adam! read more

This is my very first review I have written on Yelp, but I wanted to let everyone know about the knowledgeable and inspirational, Adam Summer. Three years ago, I was injured on the job. After 4 surgeries, the last being a total hip replacement, and two years of being disability I was finally "fixed". What I didn't know was that the hip replacement was just the beginning of a long road to full recovery. My muscles, endurance, and overall physical and mental health had atrophied while my weight ballooned 50+ pounds. I spent months working with several physical therapist who assisted in getting me back on my feet and walking without the assistance of a cane. However, the physical therapy was no were near the level of physical rehabilitation that I needed in order to ameliorate my dilapidated body. Adam Summer is the only reason I can say that today I am pain free, 30 pounds lighter, and happier than I have been in a long time. Adam is a hands-on, dynamic, and decidedly motivational exercise guru who has completely turned my life around. After merely 4 months with him, I have a new lease on life and I am well on my way to achieving the physique I had only dreamed about in my 20's. The physical injury opened my eyes to the importance of taking care of yourself and I whole-heartedly believe I wouldn't be any where near my goals if it weren't for Adam's insightful and well-informed guidance. Not only does he approach each workout individualistically, but he counsels me on my daily dietary habits. Prior to our sessions, I was eating crap, overweight, and completely unmotivated to change. Now, I am learning the skills necessary to live a healthy, sustainable lifestyle; not just a quick fad fix to my physical woes. Thank you, Adam, for being one of the best people in my life. read more

Adam is a consummate professional and over the past year has helped me transform the way i treat and view my body. I haven't been this strong, fit, and lean in over 15 years. After years of boring and repetitive gym workouts (with mediocre results) Adam has reinvigorated my appetite to shred, sweat, and grow with his dynamic array of strength and endurance exercises. There's never a dull moment during his sessions. Working with Adam is a challenge, but an extremely rewarding one. He's complemented my training regimen by helping me to re-evaluate and adjust my nutritional habits, which has been equally if not more important to my body transformation. Spending 1-hour sessions with Adam is more like passing time with a buddy than my personal trainer. It's a pleasure being pushed by somebody you know truly cares about your personal development. The experience has been a self-enriching journey to both mental and physical rejuvenation. I can't thank Adam enough, I'd recommend him to anybody who seeks life-changing results. read more

I've trained with Adam for 1.5 years, and it has been probably the biggest single action I've ever taken for myself in my adult life, with the most attributable benefit. I've been pushed insanely hard, doubted myself over and over again, BUT never was allowed to quit. Adam's ability to assiduously push you within your own ability is incredible, you might not feel your moving forward every day, however you never take a step back. In the past year alone I've lost 10 percent body fat and an at 17 percent, which for a female is really low. I've put on lean muscle in all the right areas and have created a body which looks lean, healthy and active and not overbuilt. My favorite change has been obviously in my tummy area, which is now flat and hard. Additionally, Adam showed me how to work my butt and hamstrings without blowing up my thighs, so my ass really pops without my legs being huge. So how is this all possible? First and foremost Adam sets you up with a detailed training plan that covers your whole week, not just your days together. He owns a very successful new app called Shred which is an exact emulation of his training, which he uses to assign your gym and cardio homework. Adam also supervises my diet and made changes as we learned what did and did not work for my body. He makes me accountable and is not afraid to be in contact 7 days a week if that what it takes. STRONGLY RECOMMEND ADAM He is hard to get on his client list, but if he has openings then take them!! read more

As a trainer, Adam is world class. He has completely transformed my body over the last year and continues to help me stay in the best shape of my life. His workouts are personally tailored to me- exciting, dynamic and challenging, while setting me up for success and changes I can see and feel. Adam pushes me to the max, but does it in a way that's motivating, encouraging and fun. I never looked forward to going to the gym like I do now. He's an integral part of my health and keeping my body Summer-ready, year round. (See what I did there?) read more

As a fellow trainer and fitness professional I can say that you don't come across a trainer like Adam Summer many times throughout your career. It is practically imposible to convey through words what makes Adam a great personal trainer. You can ask any of his clients and they will tell you that he is simply the best but in order to understand why you have to experience Adam's Training in person. Adam is not just a trainer he is a life changing experience. In words this is what I think makes a great personal trainer and why Adam is simply the best bar none: A personal trainer must have passion and authenticity. You have to love what you do from your heart and soul so your clients believe in you and that you believe in them. Adam's passion knows no bounds, it gives his clients the confidence to trust him and believe in themselves. When Adam gets in their heads miracle happens. You witness transformations that are simply amazing. He changes their bodies but most importantly he changes his clients lives for the better. Have empathy and understanding for each client as an individual. To Adam every person is different, he finds out what makes them tick: their goals, dreams, fears, limitations and lifestlyes which is key to helping them make the changes they want. Adam supports them with their mental and physical changes customizing each workout programs for his client's specific needs and goals. Adam goes above and beyond, checking on his clients almost daily to make sure they are not struggling along their fitness journey. Continue to learn, grow, and stretch boundaries. The fitness industry is young and is always changing, meaning it's important to constantly update and enhance your knowledge. Adam keeps his workouts fresh, keeps your motivation high and offers his clients the latest fitness methods and research findings, staying away from gimmiks and empty trends. As a fellow trainer it is truly refreshing to be able to talk to someone who is as passionate about his fitness knowledge as I am. Adam method is unique and sometimes the regular person might not understand it, but be assured it is built upon the most solid foundation of kinesiology and nutrition. Do as you preach. A great trainer must focus on empowering the client and turning him or her into their best. To accomplish that, the trainer must also walk the walk... Adam is a living billboard for his fitness philosophy. Adam lives by the standards that he expects from his clients. His lifestyle is the personification of his Fitness Credo, he walks solid footsteps that his clients are happy to follow. But how do I know all of this? Not only I have had the pleasure to work along side Adam for the past few years. When it came to look for a trainer for my partner I did not hesitate, I knew Adam was the only option. I was not wrong I have been a witness to the most amazing and positive transformation imaginable. For the most important person in my life nothing was good enough if it was not Adam.
