9Round Trainer Since 2018
Favorite Part of Training With a background in corrective exercise, I’m passionate about helping everyone move their body correctly to improve mobility and feel their best.

Available for Personal Training Sessions

If you’re from Manhattan and knew Adam growing up, you probably wouldn’t say health and fitness was the first thing coming to mind about him. Steadily gaining weight through the years, at 20 years old, Adam weighed his heaviest ever tipping the scales at nearly 265 lbs. It was during this time though while attending Kansas State University, that he finally learned the necessary skills to take the reigns and transform his life. The degree in Kinesiology and Public Health he earned might have had something to do with that. From the beginning of his Sophomore year up unto graduation, Adam lost 70 lbs. and has never looked back. Once graduated - Kansas City was his next stop where a budding career in the field of health and fitness would hopefully take off. Having instructed over 1,000 hours of group fitness while in Kansas City — Adam refined his training styles teaching classes like boxing, bootcamp, Body Pump, yoga, HIIT, spin- cycling, and corrective exercise. He also holds a certification in The BioMechanics Method: Exercise Solutions for Chronic Pain. A major passion of Adam’s is working with clients limited by chronic pain and disability. You’ll rarely catch him without a smile on his face and nothing brings out that smile more than training with you at 9Round! :D
