Been training with Alex for 6+ months and honestly the results speak for themselves. My body has completely transformed, my endurance is way up, and I'm stronger than I've ever been.

What I appreciate most is how much attention he gives to form, programming, and long-term progress. It's not just random workouts -- everything has a purpose. Since working with him I've gotten into the best shape I've ever been in. He's also extremely professional and respectful during every session. He never has his phone out and is fully focused on his clients the entire time. He's always spotting me, making sure my form is right, and pushing me to finish every set strong. I leave the gym after every workout feeling like I truly gave it my all. Beyond being a great trainer, he's also a great person who genuinely cares about his clients succeeding.

Where to even start?! Meeting Alex, working out with him consistently and sticking to the meal plan has not only "helped" me, it's noticeably changing my life in all areas. I'm not just saying that. I have struggled with poor sleep routines, brain fog, lack of focus, skin issues, emotional distress that would send me into an overthinking spiral! Life has not magically become an easy pleasant cake walk however, the benefits of training with Alex have trickled down and improved all of those issues significantly in only 3 months time. The key isn't just that I hired a trainer, it's that it was Alex specifically. Alex was born for this. His passion, excitement and absolute dedication to his clients is noteworthy, infectious and out-freaking-standing. If you don't believe in yourself, borrow some belief from Alex haha! He's constantly encouraging, cheering you on and holding you accountable to the goals you said you had. His workout plans are challenging and so empowering and he's always observing to see where you might need more work, focus and/or better form. Outside of the gym, I have sent questions, comments, concerns, and pictures of my meals and he has ALWAYS gotten back to me at an impressive rate and given me full, thoughtful answers. I'm genuinely still so impressed by this. And I'll tell you all a little secret, lean in...Alex's clients compared to other gym goers set the standard because his mindset, demeanor and work ethic inspires that in everyone he trains. So if you're looking for a trainer to motivate you and give you a recycled workout, any Joe shmo will do. But. If you're looking to hunker down and get serious about changing your body, diet and life, the only trainer in OC for you is Alex. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. read more

I was initially apprehensivw about personal training, but Alex is approachable, flexible, and knows when to push you and when you need help. I was worried about getting into something that takes over my life, but he works with you to maximize what you can give. Always friendly, he works hard to make sure you succeed. I was skeptical at first, but I'm a believer now read more

Alex is truly the best. He pushes me hard but I wouldn't have it any other way. He has a trained eye for proper form while lifting heavy weights which I appreciate to avoid injury. He is funny and engaging which makes the hard work not so hard. I am so happy I found Alex. I would recommend him to all my friends who want to challenge themselves with heavy weights. read more

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's) about two years ago now, and despite my diet and exercise routine, my weight kept increasing. I had to replace my entire wardrobe because the sizes just kept going up. This was definitely affecting my self-esteem! I was hesitant on getting a personal trainer because of the financial commitment, but I knew I had to do something about my health. I had consulted with medical providers and nutritionist. The information I was getting was not helping. They all said that there was nothing I could do because my dx is an autoimmune disease. This led me to change my perspective and see this as an investment towards my health and future! So, that's when I decided to look into getting a personal trainer. I learned about ADF training through a friend and decided to give it a try. I started ADF training October 2025 and exactly today, January 15, 2026 marks 3 months with ADF training. I have lost over 12 pounds! I feel better, I look better, and my confidence has definitely increased since I met Alex. He is an amazing trainer! He genuinely cares about his clients. He's not just giving you a 30-50 minute workout and calling it a day! He GENUINELY CARES, he spends so much time educating you through different methods of communication (text, phone calls, in person conversations). He tailors to your needs and goals. He will give you a meal plan and he will know when you're not following it! He will call you out (haha)! Alex, is very respectful, approachable and very knowledgeable. I have learned so much from him in such short term and I continue to learn. I'm excited to continue seeing results with ADF training. Thank you, Alex. read more

A personal trainer who actually cares and I mean it. I used to think i knew what i was doing until I met alexandru. I have over 6 years of experience He meticulously penned the training according to my body composition. His dedication and effort towards each session helps me keep motivated. If you are a beginner or a pro he has a way to make you stronger. After months of training under him i feel more confident about my body and myself. PS: I have never seen him use his phone during our sessions. I highly recommend! read more

I've trained with Alex off and on for five years pregnant and not pregnant. When I'm off it's because I have moved farther from his gyms but have recently discovered I am able to join his programs away from him at my own gym through the ADF app. I can honestly say I'm so grateful for this app. It allows me to regain my fitness goals with convience of being closer to my home and kids. Alex trains in beast mode no matter what program you are on. I'm 5,7 116 pounds and am noticeably changing my body after two weeks with his app doing 3x/ week. I usually only have time to complete 80% of the workout for that day with my busy schedule. but it's so much better than making up my own work out as I go through the gym. I highly recommend Alex if you are ready to take your physique to the next level with someone who is professional, friendly and pushes you to be your best. Thank you x 1 million Alex! read more

Let me start by saying that I hardly ever give reviews so if I do is because I'm extremely impressed. Alex started training me in the beginning of this month and it is insane how after just a month my body has transformed so much. Now, what impresses me the most is the actual training. Alex isn't the type of trainer that will stay on his phone and not pay attention to you. He is always focused on you, constantly adjusting your form and guess what when you think you've reached you absolutely limits he make sure you keep going. I k is everything I've accomplished would've taken double the time to achieve on my own. I'm beyond impressed If you're looking for a trainer don't look any further, pay up and get your transformation. Alex thank you so much man!!! read more
