WHO IS THE GYM STARTER?

For starters, my real name is Adam Berry…

(and you are more than welcome to call me Adam)

 
 

Who Is Adam and Why Should You Care?

I have been both an Online and In-Person Coach for over 8 years. Every one of my clients has stayed with me for a very long time, and I pride myself on building strong relationships with those with whom I work.

I have recently moved to Australia from London in to start a new life with my gorgeous fiancee, and soon-to-be wife and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us - and our Wedding is now booked for August 2023....gulp!

A few years ago I started to write helpful content on my Blog for my clients. Answering some of the questions that used to come up quite a lot. I figured I could help my clients, and anyone else around the world who was probably asking the same questions too. It was a way of getting myself away from the usual “fitness nonsense” and actually showing the science as well as the coaching behind how I work with people.

My Blog then developed and developed to now being one of the fastest growing fitness blogs on the Internet, and has won multiple awards - which is crazy to me.

It also led me to become a writer for the International Fitness Magazine Muscle and Health and the Number One App for male health and fitness called The Coach. I have also been in two Gold Coast Magazines called Cove Magazine and Ocean Road Magazine.

My Blog and my Personal Training have also won awards. Which is just crazy to me as well.

I’m just a big-eared, lanky, actor who loves trying to make people feel the best they can about themselves through movement.

I have won and been nominated for the following awards:

My Whole Life…

All I have cared about is helping people who need confidence. When I left Drama School I started a Theatre School Business for Primary School children - I had 11 of them all in my local area - and the sole reason was that I wanted to make sure these little people had a safe place to enjoy themselves, to not judge them on talent, but to just let them explore what being on stage was like and that they could do anything if they wanted to.

For some this meant delivering one line in our end-of-year show was the most terrifying and thrilling experience they had ever had, and for others, it might have meant singing a few lines solo in a song.

It didn’t matter who did what and how.

All achievement was equal.

And that is my view of fitness.

All achievement is equal - because all achievement deserves to be celebrated.

My Program is called the Strong & Confident Program because if you focus on these two aspects of your life, then you too will see that all of your achievements deserve to be celebrated for their own unique merit.

No one else matters.

Except what you achieve and how - and the way in which you explore that achievement is entirely up to you - and as your coach, it is my pleasure and joy to sit there and celebrate it with you.

Personally, I am not your muscle bound, protein chugging fitness bloke. I’m an Actor, with a huge amount of empathy for you. I’m a bloke who is here to help you in the best way I can, because I too have been there. Not knowing what to do, not knowing how to do it.

I’m not someone who has been fit his whole life. I’m not someone upon which fitness comes easily to. But I love people and I have had a huge heartbeat in my life that my mission is to help as many people as I possibly can.

You see, I have had to learn fitness, from Day 1. I remember being on my Personal Trainer course and feeling like a fish out of water. I knew zilch, other than one thing…that one day…I was going to be able to help you achieve your goals.

But it meant I had start from scratch. It meant I had to learn all about Fitness and how to apply from the ground up.

A lot like you.

I became a Personal Trainer then I learnt about fitness and how to help people.

Thats why I am called The Gym Starter.

Fitness is very complex. But the way in which I learnt it, is no different to you. I went from knowing nothing. To becoming a Coach. I promise to make it as simple and accesible for you as I possibly can. As straightforward and un-complicated for you.

That’s what I had to do when learning to coach.

And it’s how I help you reach your goals.

Drama School was a tough place. But it was also a place where I learnt day in and day out how to Coach people. I spent years of my life working hard on understanding what a human being is (how can you be someone else if you don’t know how to be yourself?). The self-development and continuous development lead me on this path to help you.

I had no confidence, and still had to stand on stage in front of 1000s of people.

I had no energy and still had to try my best.

I cried my heart out in front of my colleagues because I thought I wasn’t good enough.

I know what it’s like, and I know how to bounce back.

And helping you figure out the path for you to bounce back using fitness and nutrition, to build your confidence up and being your number one cheerleader is all I want to do for the rest of my life.


Simple. Straightforward. Sustainable. And Empowering.

Which leads to Your Success

By working in this way you will feel more empowered about your fitness than ever before.

I have helped plenty of people do this and achieve what they wanted to achieve.

And you can too…
