What clients are saying about Adam Brewer & Sunrise Sweat
"The journey to health and wellness is a continuous one with highs and lows. The trick, as I’m learning from Adam Brewer, is to work towards finding a balance… … I call Adam Brewer my personal “yoda” and his style is the antithesis of a traditional boot camps, think of it more as a more “Zen” version. Now that is not to say that you are not going to get a butt-kicking workout, but you are always going to be guided with positive feed back and encouragement from Adam. … I’ve lost 10 lbs., 5 ½% body fat, and 5 inches off my waist. Not to mention the really important things like the fact that I can run a mile almost 4 minutes faster than when I started or that I see muscle definition in places I never imagined possible! I feel the strength and power of my body. It really is fantastic! … Working out with amazing women is inspiring, working out in nature is inspiring, and working out with Adam is inspiring. Let me tell you this…if I can do this, you CAN! Thank you Adam! None of this would be possible without you. "

"Adam and his Sunrise Sweat is what I look forward to every day. My weight is down and I feel good all the time. It’s a joy to be on the beach in the early morning with a wonderful group of like-minded women. What better way could there be to start one’s day. Adam is a gift."

"I joined your class in 2009 at age 53. Even though I wasn't sure I could get up so early in the morning, I knew I couldn't sustain a daily solo run much longer because it was boring, and I often had a pulled hamstring or other repetitive-use injury. After the first few days, I began to plan my life (and travel schedule) around the workouts. Being outside with the fun group and doing something different every day is the best possible way to start the morning. I find that I work all of my muscle groups with the workouts and manage to not get injured even though I am definitely getting older! Sunrise Sweat has made it possible for me to keep skiing and cycling at age 65. It is invigorating, challenging, and the source of great and enduring good health. ​ ​I would also like to add that your daily world view and inspiration are a key part of what's great about boot camp."

"Working out with Adam has truly changed the way I think about exercise, and I am so grateful. Every single day is different and Adam accommodates every level of physical fitness throughout the workout. This class has changed my life and made me so much happier and healthier – physically and mentally. "

"I'm so thankful I found this group almost 4 years ago. There is nothing better than a workout at the beach in the morning watching the sunrise! These morning workouts are for all levels as you can make them as challenging as you want. Adam is also great and has such a positive attitude (and a sense of humor involving music and movies!) that's contagious. Cannot recommend enough!"

"I've been so fortunate to attend Adam's group fitness classes for years. When I started in my early 40s I constantly had little injuries—stiff neck, lower back pain etc. With regular workouts I've become stronger, prevented sustained injuries and learned about functional fitness."

"Santa Monica will just never be the same without you. You have meant a lot to me through the years. I have a lot of respect for you and I always listen to your words when you close the class, and I carry them with me throughout the day. "

"I’m not much of a gym person, and the idea of working out on the beach was definitely a bonus. Right away – within days – I noticed a difference in my energy level-it was through the roof! The inspiring location and being able to watch the sunrise as we worked out made it something I actually looked forward to rather than dreaded. The varied workouts kept me interested and motivated to better my results. Flash forward months later and I’m still going strong! I’ve lost 10.2% body fat and 17 pounds attending Adam’s class. He’s a natural leader and calming influence – and he’s designed workouts that can be modified to each individual’s fitness level. Adam has created an extremely comfortable, fun environment for women of all fitness levels and ages, and the class has brought out my inner athlete (I had no idea she was still in there!) I also now better understand the importance of weight training and diet thanks to Adam’s easy-to-understand clinics and one-on-one follow-ups. Almost as important to me as the impressive data has been the way the class makes me feel – it’s helped me get back to the person I once was. For everything you get for your money the class is a can’t-beat value too. I’m thrilled to have made it a part of my routine and I now can’t imagine my life without it...it has enriched and changed my life! "

"After back and shoulder surgery, I was struggling to regain my strength, flexibility, stamina, and overall fitness. My daily gym routine just didn’t seem to be cutting it. I was in a workout rut and getting nowhere. … Then I saw an article about Adam Brewer and his program in my local paper. … After only one class I was hooked, and I’ve been working out with Adam ever since. Over time, I’ve seen incredible results in my fitness level and have fully recovered from my past injuries. … I’ve regained my formerly active lifestyle, and have felt confident in trying new activities. Most importantly, I’ve loved every minute of the workouts. Adam keeps them fresh and interesting and always encourages us to keep pushing to the next level. … I can’t imagine starting the day in any other way! "

"Prior to joining Adam's workouts, I was out of shape and was not happy with my body. I also had issues sleeping. I decided to try it because I was having a hard time finding the motivation to go to the gym. I am so glad that I made the decision to do boot camp. I have lost 29 lbs and gained muscle tone. Not only do my clothes look better but I had to buy all new clothes in a smaller size. I look and feel so much better. I have also gained energy and my sleep issues have disappeared. These workouts made a tremendous difference in my life. I am so happy that I made the decision to join."

"I am enjoying the results that Adam's workouts have given me. My mental strength has improved tremendously. I am able now to give more to other people and myself because working out helps release negative energy while creating positive energy. Adam creates fun and challenging workouts all while maintaining to be such a positive influence. … The beauty about Adam’s program is that it is specific to the individual. We are all on different levels and he is highly skilled to work with each of us on a personal basis while teaching us as an entirety. I have learned that we all have a different pace and not to judge yourself on someone else’s progress but your own. … I have become quite the sideshow when my boyfriend and I have company. Lately he can’t get over how much my shoulders and biceps have changed. Although, this is quite embarrassing in front of company, I secretly enjoy that he’s noticing how hard I work! Mentally and physically I feel the strongest I have ever felt and I have Adam to thank for that. … I have more energy than ever before! I enjoy feeling strong. I like seeing the results and this all takes place outside and not in a stuffy gym somewhere. I went into this program thinking that it was going to be a one time deal for me and I realized that this is a lifestyle and I am hooked! "

"I have been working out for 20+ years and Adam is the by far the best trainer I have ever experienced. He is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition and it makes a dramatic difference having someone with such a positive attitude to motivate me. If he does not know an answer to a question on fitness or nutrition, he will find the answer. Adam changes the workout every day, which not only keep things exciting and not feeling like I am in a rut, but has resulted in remarkable changes to my overall fitness and a positive transformation of my body. Adam is always encouraging and that pushes me to work harder. I always wake up at 5:00 a.m. looking forward to my scheduled workouts. I feel energized after the morning workout, ready to confront the rest of the day. I am hooked on the workouts and am seeing dramatic results. The camaraderie I have with the other girls is amazing and I encourage anyone who is even a little bashful about joining to give it a try. After one try, I was hooked. Thank you so much Adam. You are awesome!!! "

"I came to Adam's workouts in Santa Monica as a 45 year old,  overworked, out of shape executive. Having long lost a sense of career/life balance, I knew one thing for sure – results matter.  In my first session (in just four weeks), I dropped 10 pounds, my clothes fit again (that’s a lot of inches), and my attitude toward exercise went from “badattitude” to “gladattitude.”  Unlike high-priced personal trainers,  tedious machines and crowded exercise classes, Adam takes you back to the basics of personal fitness, provides a healthy dose of adventure and is just plain fun.  No two classes are ever the same, you get outside,  benefit from camaraderie with other campers, and are given tools so simple, that it’s remarkably empowering to want to go forward. My next session starts tomorrow, and I can’t wait. "

"I went to my first interview with Adam fully believing that he would tell me I had to lose weight before coming to his class. I was at least 50 pounds overweight and totally out of shape. Instead Adam was caring and compassionate. He said he could help me. And that is what he has done. I have lost 30 pounds and 19 inches. I have never felt better in my life. Not only is Adam a gifted trainer technically, he is full of “Adamisms” that make me laugh when I want to cry and motivate me when I want to quit. His classes are tailored to all levels. You are guaranteed to get a fun, challenging workout in a beautiful setting. Working on my abs while looking up at palm trees….what more can I ask for?"
Cathy P
"So far through Adam's workouts, I have lost 21.5 lbs and 24 total inches from my body! I couldn’t have done it without Adam. He has spoken with me at length about my nutrition and fitness on several occasions. Adam is a great instructor, the group has wonderful camaraderie, and I can’t wait for the next session to start! I’m hooked on these workouts!

"I really want to thank you. These workouts have been amazing for me…I thoroughly enjoy them and Adam. Adam keeps each and everyone in the camp very focused and motivated with varied workouts that are both challenging and fun. I simply can’t say enough good things about my experience thus far. I feel great about myself! I’m very grateful. Thanks once again!!!

"Thanks to Adam Brewer’s fitness and nutritional program, I am feeling the best I ever have. I went to Adam complaining of a lack of energy. After just a few weeks of working with him, the difference in the way I felt was amazing, and as a bonus not only did I feel better, I now look better than I could ever have imagined. He was fantastic to work with, always enthusiastic, and entertaining. I have never had so much fun whilst working out! Following Adam’s fitness program was the best choice I ever made. I’m so glad to have finally found an exercise program that works and that I have been able to stick to. Thank you Adam!"

"It has been an amazing journey working out with you Adam and Hawaii is lucky to have you. You are an incredibly unique and gifted instructor enhancing not only our physical bodies but providing that much needed emotional and spiritual guidance as well. You have created an incredible atmosphere that has been the best way to start my day. I have yet to find another instructor that I would refer another individual to with absolute confidence. Thank you for being there for me throughout all these years motivating me and inspiring me every time. "
