This summer I decided to find a personal trainer that could come to my house and help support me in my fitness goals. I am (almost) 40 and I was not happy with a lot of aspects related to myself and my body. To be clear, it wasn’t just a weight thing. I was a collegiate athlete, and I missed my endurance and strength from when I was in competition. Motherhood has not been the kindest to my body, both physically and mentally, and I realized I needed more than just my own internal motivation to make permanent changes.
Enter Adam & Matt from Chester Country Training. I found Adam’s business through a Google search, and both guys came out to my house and spent over an hour talking with me about my fitness and nutrition goals, my fears, and all the things that had been holding me back over the last couple years. I could tell how much they care about their clients’ journeys. Since working with Matt 2x/week starting August 2023, I have lost over 35lbs, and 4 dress sizes … but more importantly, my confidence has grown. I went from struggling to complete 5 regular pushups, to being able to complete 3 sets of 20. I went from feeling winded 5 minutes into my adult field hockey games, to lasting a full 40 minute game with energy to spare. I was apprehensive about giving permission to share my photos on social media, not because I wasn’t proud of my transformation, but because the photos only measure the physical changes. No photo can show how much I’ve changed inside. I’ve found myself again. I am stronger physically and mentally, and I have Matt to thank for that extra push. If you ask him, 100% of the credit belongs to me, but I know I wouldn’t have pushed myself as much as I have without the accountability checks from him. I love that we can discuss our gameplay from our adult leagues or commiserate about the most recent Eagles game in between sets. I’ve also become way more consistent with doing workouts on my own (e.g., biking, running, yoga) outside of my scheduled training sessions. My overall health and wellness have greatly improved, and I am so much happier with my lifestyle. I know myself, and I know that I benefit from the accountability of a trainer to keep me on track and push me to my max. Many thanks to both Matt, and Adam! Looking forward to what 2024 will bring!

"I’ve been working with Adam and Austin for almost two years now. When I started, I looked and felt 10 years older than I am. Now I look and feel 10 years younger. I just turned 40 and feel 30!
Down 25 lbs, added 7 or 8 lbs of muscle as well. I can’t recommend the team over at Chester County Training more!" Ian-40 |

"I have been working with Adam and Brooke since the beginning of August 2017, and I have loved every minute of it. Not only have I lost over 115 pounds in that time, yes, you read correctly, 115 pounds, I have also learned to look at food as fuel and not as a treat, a social necessity, or anything else that provides an excuse to overeat. That happened in just the first year. Since then, I have maintained and gained strength and endurance. The workouts are a highlight of my day, and I can't imagine not working with them, even after I reach my goal weight. The support, encouragement, and relationships developed are priceless. I encourage anyone wanting to be stronger, better conditioned, lose weight, or all of the above to give them a call. I can't say enough great things about either of them. They have truly changed my life." Ronni-38

"Choosing to work with Adam was the best decision I have ever made. In the last 10 months I have lost almost 90 pounds!! With Adam’s guidance I gained understanding of both exercise and nutrition. Adam is a genuine person who really cares about the people he works with. His workouts are fun and always varied. Although the hour is not easy it seems to go quickly. I never thought I would say this but I actually look forward to working out. Thanks Adam!"

"Eight months ago, in search of a personal trainer, I was lucky enough to come upon this website and read other testimonials from people who have had success working with Chester County Training. Those testimonials compelled me to call. My life has completely changed since that phone call. After a lifetime of struggling with weight issues, I've lost more than 60 pounds.
Having had success in other areas of my life, I was often embarrassed about why I couldn’t manage my weight issues. Balancing food, exercise and a busy work schedule was overwhelming, and we are commercially inundated with misleading nutrition information including tricky food labels, fad diets, and artificial foods. What makes Adam unique from other trainers is that he also teaches you about food and nutrition. I now have a much better understanding of food and how much nutrition impacts my health, and frankly, it’s really not that complicated. Adam was also able to quickly figure out how to motivate me and customized our sessions which pushed me to do more than I thought I could. He is not only your trainer, but also becomes your teacher, coach, confidant, and friend. Every session is different, challenging and yes, even fun! You can feel and see yourself becoming stronger each week. Adam takes a genuine interest in you and your success. I never imagined I could be this fit and healthy and enjoy working out. I truly believe that because of Adam, I now have a new way of living that I can sustain for the rest of my life. If you're ready for a real and lasting change in your health, fitness, and your life, work with Adam - and simply do what he tells you! You will not regret it." -Shelly 45 |

"The last year has been life changing for me. The best decision I made was to contact you at the suggestion of my granddaughter. First, you have taught me the best nutrition to enhance one’s mind and body, which ultimately resulted in the weight loss. Second, you provided a variety of workouts to meet my needs. It was not always easy, but you knew when to challenge and push me. I could not have reached my goals without your flexibility and continued commitment to me as an individual - I have never been stronger than I am today and could not be prouder of my accomplishment. Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to continuing our workouts!!"

"Choosing a personal trainer isn’t easy and a person must feel like the investment they are making in themselves is worth it. It took me over a year to find the person that possesses all the qualities a trainer should have. It took me over a year to find Adam. He is clearly invested in helping his clients succeed and does so by knowing what you’re capable of doing and pushing you just a bit more. Adam’s ability to connect with me on many levels was what I needed to not only lose the weight, but also to gain strength and confidence. Since working with Adam, I can truly attest to the effectiveness of his methods. In addition to his extensive knowledge, encouragement and commitment, he brings humor and personality to every session. The workouts are always varied and he holds you accountable for every calorie! Complain about what you can’t do and he’ll make you do more! It’s not fun and it’s really hard, but Adam somehow makes the hour tolerable. Believe me, he has to put up with a lot of complaining during that time, but the results he helps you achieve become the motivation to continue on every week. Adam understands that we are ordinary people living everyday lives and he strives to help support me with making lasting changes, given the daily challenges I continually face. Thanks Adam!!" -Toni 42 |

"I’ve been working with Chester County Training for several months and I’ve lost more than 65 pounds! They're great at motivating me. They answer all my questions and if they don't know, they're always more than happy to find out. They have helped me change my life for the better!" -Angela 28

"I have been working with Adam for the past 6 months and I am very excited about my progress. I’ve lost 50 pounds and I have to say that if it weren’t for his hard work in keeping me in line with food and exercise, I would not have been able to do it. He has inspired me in every possible way. I know it has been a struggle with me, but he has been dedicated - and believe me, the results speak for themselves!"

The day I searched on Google, “trainer near me,” and found Chester County Personal Training has literally changed my life for the better! I am so happy I made that first phone call.
After having three kids in just under 5 years I put the needs of my family above my own. As my kids grew... so did my waistline! Before I knew it, my eldest was almost 20 years old and I had put on a significant amount of weight. I foolishly disregarded my own health needs for years - I made poor food choices & barely exercised. I tried to lose weight on my own over & over again but was never successful.
I understood the science of strength training in order to gain muscle to burn more calories to lose weight... but I was unsure how to start on my own. I was also hesitant because I don’t like gyms and didn’t feel comfortable working out in that type of environment. I knew I needed a personal trainer to help me one-on-one.
I meet with Adam & Brooke to discuss my goals. We discussed not only my fitness goals, but old knee/ankle injuries (and how they would design a program specifically for me), my desire to work out one-on-one (as opposed to crowded gyms), my minimal knowledge of strength training, etc. I was immediately confident after leaving that meeting I made the best decision to start training with them.
I’ve been training since April 2019 and I feel healthier and happier than I have in a long time! I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, I am eating right and I feel stronger & healthier.
Whatever your fitness goals, I am confident the trainers at Chester County Personal Training have the expertise and the commitment to help you succeed too! -Trish 47

"Chester County Training is great! They encourage with respect and can easily know when you can do more and push you to do so. They come to my company to do group sessions and more people keep wanting to join the group because everyone is so stoked about the workouts. I would definitely recommend them!"

"The trainers at Chester County Training are very motivating and have moved me from total couch potato to exercising daily! The workouts are challenging, they push me to work hard and I’ve seen continual changes in how I feel and how I look. Two reasons why I continue to enjoy working out are the variety of workouts which are specific to my needs and fun to do; and their underlying knowledge of both the physiology and nutrition behind successful training and weight loss! Having worked one-on-one, in my home, I can’t imagine any other workout method that I would be as committed to or that would be as successful in accomplishing my diet and exercise goals."

"I have been working with Adam at Chester County Training for over 6 years and as a result, at age 54, I think I'm probably in the best shape of my life. I have worked with many trainers over the years, some very good, but I can honestly and objectively say that Adam is by far the best. His unique approach to training is goal specific and focused. He actually tracks your results objectively, so you can accurately measure your progress. This really doesn't happen with most trainers in my experience. Frankly, it sets Adam apart from most other fitness professionals. This, and his knowledge about training, the human body, and nutrition places Adam in a league of his own. The training sessions are always well planned out and always dynamic, so you never have a chance to lose your focus or get bored. The workouts are always intense and challenging, but with Adam/s encouragement, I am able conquering them and push my limits. It sometimes surprises me how much I am able to accomplish with Adam coaching, guidance and encouragement. I always leave a session with an enormous sense of achievement. At first when I started training, like most people, I simply just wanted to look better, and because of Adam, I do. But more importantly, I feel so much better after a training session, not only physically but mentally and emotionally. The benefits of seeing a trainer, especially one like Adam, are far more than just improving your physique. I can confidently say that training with Adam has drastically improved my overall health and well being. His guidance, encouragement, enthusiasm and understanding are priceless. By the way, I have also been training with Brook since she has joined Adam's team. Brook has been excellent and her training style, approach and philosophy are equally impressive. Adam and Brook are really two of the best trainers I've encountered. If you are thinking about starting a training program, you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't choose Chester County Training."-Andrew 54
My wife has been training with Adam in his studio for the past seven years. When the pandemic struck last March, Adam took the initiative to set-up equipment in our home so that she could continue with her training. Being a “casual observer” at times, Adam would goad me and encourage me to join the “fun”. Never one to invest in exercise, after several weeks I reluctantly succumbed to the good-natured pressure and started to participate in the exercise sessions. It will soon be a year since I started, and I can state unequivocally that it was one of the best decisions that I have made in many years. Soon to be a septuagenarian, I am in the best shape that I have been in many years. Recognizing my age, Adam designs and focuses my sessions to strengthen my core, improve my balance and overall conditioning. The results are that I feel better both physically and mentally in my quest to not let age creep into my head. Chester County Training also has an experienced staff, and I would be remiss if I did not mention Brooke who is a valued member of Adam’s team. Brooke’s training style compliments Adam’s regimens while bringing her own knowledge and encouragement to the training sessions. If you are looking for a personal trainer who is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely cares about his clients, you will want to meet with Adam to discuss your training goals.

This is the greatest type of exercise I have ever tried. I’ve done the large ones in the area that got to be too much financially to the lesser expensive ones that never seemed to work out. It really came down to time. In my own house on my schedule. Saves hours a week for me and I get my training in. What I never banked on was the personalities of the team at CCT. Everyone has been real. No hype. They keep it simple and it’s NEVER been pressure. They make our hour together fun. Don’t get me wrong, there are times and exercises that make me hate them, but they keep the conversations going and the time flies. In a VERY short period of time I have lost weight and have energy, I haven’t had in a long time. If you’re like me you just want to find a system that helps you stay with exercising so you have a chance to see results. Call these guys. They fit it into your lifestyle, on your time at your house. The only way to make it better is if they did the lifting for you!! -Todd 57
"I contacted Chester County Training thinking I simply needed to “tone” up …what I got was so much more! Not only were they able to provide a workout tailored specifically to my needs, in the comfort of my home, but they did so in a way that encouraged me to obtain my goals and taught me a lot along the way. I thought of myself as a healthy eater and didn’t think I needed nutrition advice, but quite to my surprise they helped me understand the foods I needed to ensure I was burning calories and making the most of my workouts. At age 35, working with Chester County Training was one of the best things I’ve done to improve my health, overall strength, and well-being!"
