Own Your Fitness — Local services in Jersey City

The founder of Own Your Fitness, Adam, has been instrumental in helping me to get on track with my fitness and nutrition. Regarding nutrition, as an emotional binge eater (especially of refined sugar, as in cake, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, and on and on and on), I needed help with both stopping the binge eating and starting healthy, consistent eating habits. I have been logging and Adam has been tracking on a daily basis what I eat, how much I eat, when I eat, and how I am feeling about my eating. He makes suggestions after I submit every log to help me to make small adjustments to my eating behaviors with the goal of establishing good overall eating habits over time. He keeps me accountable, which is a crucial part of this nutrition and fitness plan for me. Unfortunately, until now, I have not had the self-discipline to do the right things with respect to food and exercise. Adam and I are building that internal mechanism every day.

Regarding the fitness side, I started working with Adam in-person in the gym in my building and then continued to work with him virtually after the quarantine started. I was actually hesitant to work via videoconference, as I doubted it would be of the same quality/efficacy. As soon as I agreed to try it and we started on Zoom, I knew I had nothing to worry about! In-person and online, Adam knows how to meet me where I'm at in terms of my fitness level while also challenging me to push myself hard. He doesn't have much tolerance for whining but is not aggressive or hostile when I'm being a baby. He just pushes me to go a little harder based on what he knows I can handle. In short, Adam is passionate, punctual, knowledgable (he really knows how to customize a plan for the individual), reachable (voice, email, text, etc.), encouraging, experienced, attentive, kind, and nonjudgmental.

I have been feeling better every day since starting with Adam. What does feeling better actually mean for me? My moods are more consistent, I do not have uncontrollable cravings for carbs and fat, my skin is better, my self-esteem is higher because I am finally in control of what goes into my body, my portions are a normal size (I used to binge on things other than fat and carbs, too!), my sleep is better (I am not waking up in a pool of sweat from a carb binge the night before), my waking up is easier (no food hangovers), I have more energy for workouts and never have to use the excuse that I am "sick" from eating too much, my body shape is slowly improving (I'm no spring chicken and understand that this progress will be slow but steady if I keep doing what Adam is recommending), and I am spending less money on the crap that used to provide very temporary relief from cravings, only to be followed by pain, demoralization, and, of course,...

I normally don't write reviews and have gone through many trainers in the past couple years. As a professional model in NYC it is crucial to constantly maintain a healthy and fit physique. This is to ensure that clothes continue to fit correctly and the agency you're signed with wants to continue investing in you. Fitness has been one of the biggest challenges to stay on top of to say the least. I am writing this to not only share the respect I have for both people who have helped me along the way, but to share my new insight provided by Adam to hit goals and prep for modeling jobs weeks before. I have worked with Adam and Anya now for about a month. To give some context I first contacted Adam when I moved to Paulus Hook to get into top shape for a campaign shoot in Miami. Before meeting Adam I wasn't aware that a fast track to seeing results could happen in literally 10 days. After my nutrition session which was something I desperately needed followed by a rigorous training camp with Anya and a new diet routine I saw results the next day. I was shocked at how fast something worked for me but its because of the way Adam designed a personalized plan tailored to meet my goals that it became successful. I would be lying if I said it was even remotely easy so be prepared to get your ass beat in the best way possible. Adam gave me the confidence, mental state, and tools to prepare for each shoot moving forward the best way possible, with a 10 day routine tailored to my lifestyle and career path. No trainer I have had in the past has taken the level of support and 1-1 focus on me like Adam and Anya do. I still continue to train and talk with both of them on a daily basis. In fact, before writing this I just had a 30 minute phone conversation with Adam on help with setting new routines and mental states of mind. Thank you both for your continued...

As a healthcare provider (CRNA, APN) and a previous collegiate athlete, health and fitness have always been a priority in my life. I'm now in my early 30's and I have done everything from running to cross fit to beachbody work outs (p90x, insanity, 21 day fix) to pilates to yoga to bar method to boot camps and kick boxing to keep my self in decent shape. As a bride to be (4 more months!), I knew I needed something more to help me achieve a fantastic bridal physique on my wedding day. I met Adam in the gym and after 1 workout with him I knew I could place my faith in him on my bridal fitness journey. After only a month and a half of working out with Adam, I can honestly say my body has already made significant progress and transformation. I feel stronger, leaner, and healthier than I have in many years. The development of my bridal physique is largely due to Adams attention to detail, vast scientific knowledge base, personal background as a martial artist, and professional talent and experience. Adams enthusiastic commitment to his work and his clients is truly unparalleled. His workouts are always individualized and include a fun and unique mix of resistance training, martial arts, high intensity interval training...always pushing me to my max and always allowing time for stretching and body work at the end of the workout. Working out with Adam has absolutely changed my perspective, mentally and physically, and I'm beyond excited to see where my bridal fitness...
