A
friend and colleague recommended Adam to me when I said that I
wanted to lose weight and improve my fitness. I have been training
with Adam twice a week for 8 months now and in that time my energy
levels have increased tenfold and I sleep much better. Not only
have I lost 2.5 stones in weight but I've gone from a size 16
to a size 10.
Due
to a hectic work and travel schedule I never thought I'd be able
to commit to a fitness programme but working out with Adam means
that I'm able to fit training in around my business trvael at
a time and place that suits me. Adam's positive and friendly approach
means that training is no longer a chore.

I
started using Adam at AMR three years ago, via a recommendation
from a friend, to halt the decline in fitness and prepare for a
skiing holiday. I particularly enjoyed the personal attention;
the fun and variety of different training techniques; and never
quite knowing where the next session would be held, if it would
be indoors or outdoors, or which natural obstacle - whether bench,
steps, or building - would be incorporated into the exercise program.
However, in late 1999 I suffered two slipped discs and had to undergo
surgery to repair them. After coming out of hospital I was
laid up for over four months. From that time, I have used
Adam to develop a recuperation program to get me back to full fitness,
which he gradually built-up in intensity over time, to a point where,
15 months after the operation, I now feel fitter than before my
injury, despite at no point whatsoever feeling I was jeopardising
my health or recovery. I have benefited significantly from
Adam's knowledge and experience [in physiology and sports-injuries],
and from a personally tailored rehabilitation program that has greatly
improved my overall fitness, strength and flexibility.
I would recommend Adam to anyone seeking to improve his or her quality
of life. I have total trust in his abilities and character,
and continue to look forward to training with him. He will
always push you just that little bit further than you think you
can go. |

When a colleague offered
me the first session with Adam I did not see how I could fit two
sessions a week in my schedule. At first, I felt really exhausted
after the one hour session, but, as Adam had guessed, very quickly
got much fitter and felt relaxed and good after it. Three
years later, I am looking forward to every session and of course
work out harder and feel better and stronger on ski slopes and in
everyday life. And my backache is gone. The best thing
about it is that you just do it; rain or shine the lesson is on
(bold the on). The format changed over time; we went from
the then available corporate gym to a combination of the park in
front of my house and some weight lifting and bike at home, with
some sprinting sessions in between. Adam varies the exercises,
adapts to one's level and skills and, crucially, comes to our home
and is very flexible. For the past year, Jamile joined us in our
twice-weakly sessions and Adam
orchestrates the sessions with different exercises and intensities
for the two of us. Another good thing about training with Adam is
the invaluable peachy feeling you get from it when overstressed
by your work or other personal problems. Adam's training relieves
all our stress and anxiety
after a day at work. If you are looking for a fitness program
that adapts to your schedule, fitness and taste in a relaxed atmosphere,
give Adam a ring. |

Like
many busy people in London, I have always found it very difficult
to get the balance you need in life with exercise, work and play.
For years I have tried doing long days at work, followed by the
gym - it never worked, and I also found it very difficult disciplining
myself to get up at 6am. I have been training with Adam for about
6 months now, training two or three mornings a week before work.
It is the perfect way to start the day. Now I can be assured that
I stay fit, and reach the goals I want to achieve.

A
corporate client recommended me to Adam Riccio of AMR Personal
Training. I had been concentrating on the physically sedentary
pursuit of professional success to the exclusion of all else,
including my weight and my health! I train with Adam 2/3 times
a week. He has many qualities suited to a personal trainer (without
unwanted arrogance!) He is extremely personable; tailors his training
to the needs and abilities of his clients; plainly enjoys his
work and is very flexible and reliable. In addition to personal
training, he has given me invaluable advice and encouragement
in relation to various lifestyle and dietary shortcomings! Adam
is a very worthwhile investment for any stressed, overworked professional.

I
have been using AMR Personal Training for three years and cannot
praise it highly enough. In particular, I have seen my fitness
level improve by over 100%. AMR Personal Training adapts its own
plan to suit your needs and is totally flexible in its approach.
If you want to get fit, AMR Personal Training receives my total
recommendation with no reservation. I have tried belonging to
a gym but have found it difficult to push myself beyond a certain
level. If you truly want to improve your fitness then a personal
trainer is the only option. AMR Personal Training has taken me
to new levels; its personalised schedule is quite superb.

Adam
has been our personal trainer for the past 3 years. Adam has managed
to develop individually tailored workouts based on each of our
own abilities and specific needs. He is excellent at evaluating
individuals' strengths making it motivating and exciting, yet
strenuous at the same time. Each one of us has grown to be very
fond of our routine and look forward to the sessions. He has been
very accommodating and flexible with our extremely busy schedules
and I would recommend him with no hesitation at all.

I
have been working out with Adam Riccio for around 18 months and
have to say that having somebody ensure that my training regime
is interesting, varied and effective has been fantastic. Although
I no longer have the time for such an intensive schedule, I really
noticed the benefits of it on recent trips to both Zimbabwe where
after the White Water rafting trip I managed the hike out of the
Zambesi Gorge (equivalent to walking up an 80 storey building)
with relative ease, and skiing which is so much more fun when
you are fitter and stronger. Unlike previous trips when skiing
after lunch was not an option due to aching muscles! Each training
session is both challenging and varied and somehow Adam manages
to get more effort out than I imagine (as my muscles complain
whenever I miss out on training!).

has kept me fit through two pregnancies and beyond. Whatever my
state of mind at the beginning of the session, Adams positive attitude
always has me smiling at the end. He is the only person I know who

| Adam
has been training me for nearly three years. Every session is different
Ë Adam constantly changes the routines and exercises to keep me
interested and motivated. And Adam is very good at stretching, which
is a bonus for me because of years of playing football and not stretching
has taken a toll on my legs! |
