My name is Jim Matherly. I am 46 years old and when I
met Adrian I weighted almost 270 lbs. I was encouraged
by a friend of mine that was a current patron to contact
him for help with my weight and over all poor condition.
I had recently visited the doctor and was told that I
was pre-diabetic, had borderline high blood pressure,
and needed to lose at least 30 lbs.
I started boot camp with Adrian in October, 2005 and it
was a difficult transition to get used to a supervised
training program. I knew that I had been trying on my
own for several years to loose the weight with marginal
results and I always ended up where I had started. I
knew that I needed to be pushed outside my own comfort
zone in order to get the results that I needed.
That is exactly what I got from West Coast Boot Camp. I
only had to show up in the morning and they would take
care of the rest. At first, I didn't even follow that
food plan but after all of the work that I was doing, I
wanted too. I started to see results right away. Over
the next 6 months, I lost 45 lbs and went from 31% body
fat to 17%. My friends could not believe the change with
me and many joined because of the results that they saw
that I had accomplished. I am in better shape that I was
in college over 20 years ago.
It is now 1 year later and I have kept all of the weight
off. I also started more weight lifting and have
increased my muscle mass in addition to keeping the fat
off. I don't know where I would be without Adrian. His
personal interest in my results were more that I could
ever expect from any fitness program. He was excited in
my success and continued to encourage me through this
process. He is more than a trainer to his clients. He is
a true friend that has my best interest in mind. He
cares about his clients on a personal level.
My quality of life is so much better than it was 1 year
ago. I am able to go on hikes, participate in sports,
sleep better and enjoy life so much more without the
burden of 45 extra pounds. I am so grateful to a good
friend that encouraged me to go see Adrian and try out
West Coast Boot Camp.
Sincerely,
Jim Matherly

I am a business owner and I spend most of the day in the
office, sitting in front of the computer. I have always
been overweight, simply because I don't have the
motivation to exercise. I have always wanted to look
good, but I have always delayed making the first step to
getting in shape. As time past I finally decided to do
something about my weight. I signed up at the gym in
2005 and I exercised regularly for 3 months. After the
3rd month I stopped going to the gym because I did not
see any results from my workout. I guess, I didn't push
myself to the max during my workouts, because my
motivation level was pretty low.
In April of 2006, I met Adrian at the La Canada Chamber
business mixer. I spoke to him about my weight
situation, and he told me that he can help me to control
my weight. He gave me his card and he told me to come in
for a free one on one personal training session. A few
days later I stopped by his studio, and we had the one
on one training. I really enjoyed working out with
Adrian because he made it a fun experience for me. I
began to visit Adrian for more training sessions and
later that month I decided to join the 6 week outdoor
boot camp. (let me tell you that was the best thing I
have ever done for myself)
The first two weeks at the boot camp was a rough start
for me. The last thing I wanted to do is wake up really
early in the morning and start exercising. As time past
by it wasn't that bad, since I started to get used to
the routine. During the 6 weeks we did a mixture of
cardio exercises and weight training.
I didn't expect to have any results by joining the boot
camp but boy was I wrong. Prior to joining the boot camp
I weighed in at 268 pounds and after 6 weeks of the boot
camp I lost 18.5 pounds and went from 30.9% body fat to
22.7%! I just couldn't believe it!
Thanks Adrian and West Coast Boot Camp Staff!!

I Survived West Coast Boot Camp
Really... I did survive! For the past six weeks I have
been working out with the help of the boot camp trainers
and eating right thanks to nutritionist Jon Weber and I
am about to see the results.
My fellow boot campers and I arrive at our last session
with anticipation and anxiety. e all feel and look a bit
different but have we lost weight and inches?
The dreaded measuring tape comes out. Not unlike the
first time, I am surprisingly unnerved by it. Before
boot camp I didn't want to confront the real me. Now I
am anxious to see just how much I have improved.
I volunteer to be measured first. Bicep, waist, hips,
chest... one by one each area of my body measured before
I started on this journey was measured again and the
results recorded in my journal.
Next onto the scale where I slipped my shoes off and
stepped on.
Finally, it was time for the two-minute sit-up,
two-minute push-up and times mile tests where we all
tried to beat the numbers we completed the first day of
class.
The Results:
With testing complete, it was time to review the
results. Excitedly I opened my journal and couldn't not
have been happier.
I have lost 8 inches, the areas of greatest improvements
being my waist and hips where I lost a combined 4 1/2
inches!
I lost 1 1/2 pounds, which I am told is great
considering I have replaced fat with muscle which
weights more.
My percentage of body lost is 3.1%!
In the two-minute push-up I improved from 24 push-ups to
52 push-ups!
In the two-minute sit-up test I improved from 56 to 62!
In the timed mile, I improved from 10:38 to 7:10!
I read then re-read my results. Was this possible? Had I
really done what I set out to do? In fact I had! I have
changed my body, and in turn my life. I look better and
I feel amazing! I am confident, strong, and passionate
about what got me here. I am a true believer in boot
camp. In fact, it has continued to be a part of my life.
I enrolled in another session and am starting my 4th
week today. I cant imagine my life without it. I love it
and I want more of it (a phrase Adrian often chants
throughout our workouts)!
If you have been looking for something to challenge and
change your body, look no further! West Coast Boot Camp
is the way to go. Don't let another day go by without
calling. The sooner you start, the sooner you will see a
new, improved you. Let the transformation begin! You too
can survive boot camp.

"Since I started West Coast Boot Camp I've
noticed a lot of great changes in my body. My
muscle tone is much greater and I've dropped in
weight and body fat. The class is a lot of fun!
Each day is full of new challenges and at the
end of the hour there is an amazing feeling of
accomplishment. I can't imagine starting my day
with out it!! I highly recommend it to anyone
that is looking for a challenging work-out.
Thanks Adrian you're the Best"

"As a busy executive, husband and father of two
grade school children, it was very important to
me to find a workout program that allowed me to
get maximum results in the least amount of time.
West Coast Boot Camp got me into great shape
through running, yoga, martial arts, push-ups,
dips, ab work, and light weight-training. The
best part was I did all of this without missing
any quality time with my family, since I was
back home before they woke up. Getting your day
started with vigorous exercise with friends
allows you to focus on all the other important
things in our hectic lives with more energy and
stamina. I highly recommend West Coast Boot Camp
for anyone who wants to lose weight and get
toned in a supportive hands-on environment,
where the instructors care about you and your
health issues. At some boot camps, the
participants spend almost the entire time
running, which in many cases leads to injuries.
West Coast's workouts change every day to keep
your muscles challenged while seeking to
minimize injuries. Other boot camps may come and
go, but West Coast Boot Camp is here to stay!"

I am a full time mother of 4 with a part time
job. I had not regularly exercised for well over
5 years. As I was heading into middle age and my
metabolism decided to go on hiatus, I decided it
was time to take action. From time to time I
would go to the gym, walk on the treadmill, do a
few sit ups, run around in the backyard with the
kids and thought I was “active”.
Like all of us, I kept seeing these ads for the
“boot camps”. Quite honestly they terrified me.
The cost of most of these other camps was even
scarier. I could not imagine surviving the rigor
of the workout and the trainer screaming at me!
Several of my friends did the 6 week deed, got
in a little shape and that was the end of that.
Until one day I happened to run into a familiar
face named Adrian. He quite gently nudged me
into just “trying” it. “You will have fun girl”
he said. “Yeah right” I thought! And how in the
world would I ever be anywhere on the planet
earth by 5:30am?? Well, I tried it all right and
loved it!!
West Coast Boot Camp, Adrian, Darrell, Gil, Mark
& Laura have changed my outlook on fitness. This
incredible group of trainers is both encouraging
and inspirational. The Physical workout is only
the icing on the cake. I have made 50 new
friends, increased my productivity and energy
level and feel stronger than I did 20 years ago.
West Coast Boot Camp is the absolute best
overall fitness program I have ever experienced.
Thank you Adrian!!"

"Doing my work
out in the morning gives me the energy I need to
run around all day long. I have three kids, and
working out before everyone else gets up in my
house is the way to go! At West Coast Boot Camp
you have fun, you work out hard, and you get
pushed to give it your all. I have lost inches,
and have never been in better shape!"

"Boot Camp has been one of the greatest things I
have ever done for myself. I lost 14 pounds and
24 inches throughout my body in 2 six week
sessions. The exercise and diet plan work for
everyday people. Since doing boot camp and
changing my eating habits I have lost 17 lbs and
37 inches total. It's the best thing I have done
for myself in a long time."
