Your nutrition, training and recovery written by Adam and adjusted every week off your check-in. In person in Indianapolis or remote anywhere. A limited roster, so every check-in gets his eyes.
Owner and head coach of ARC Fitness in Indianapolis. Adam has spent more than a decade coaching everyday people and competitive athletes, and still records every private client's check-in review himself.
He competes because it keeps him honest. He coaches because it is the work he believes he was put here to do. Faith, discipline and service run through all of it. If you want a coach who will tell you the truth and stay in your corner, you have found him.
“I can give feedback on your physique. I can't give feedback on a plan that isn't executed.”Adam, from a client check-in

No templates. Adam builds your plan from the check-in, the photos, the equipment and the calendar, then rewrites it as your body changes.
01
A weekly check-in, reviewed by Adam on video
Weight trend, sleep, hunger, steps, stress, photos and training footage. You get a recorded review back with the decision and the reasoning. Not a thumbs up emoji.
NutritionWhen the fix is more food, not less.
Hunger up, lifts stalled. Adam reads the signal and adds carbs.
Functional healthKnee pain on stairs? It is not your knees.
Tight quads, glutes not firing, and a fix before every leg day.
Stage prepRelax into the pose.
Three weeks out. Adam demonstrates calm presence, 30 percent effort, exhale first.
02
Nutrition written and adjusted every week
Real food that fits the schedule and the preferences you already have. Carb cycling, refeeds and maintenance phases when they are earned, not when a calendar says so.
03
Training built for the body and the gym
Programs written around structure, injuries and the equipment you actually have. Send a set, get the form fix.
04
A direct line
Questions go to Adam, not a help desk. In person sessions at ARC are available for Indianapolis clients.
05
Competition prep, if that is your path
Posing, peak week, show day, and the plan for the week after. Adam has taken first timers to the stage and athletes to pro cards.
Adam is a coach, not a physician. Where labs or medical questions come up, he works alongside your doctor.
Is this for you
This is for people who are done guessing.
Adam keeps the roster small on purpose. That means being honest about who this serves.
This is for you if
You want one person accountable for your plan, not an app and a template.
You will send a check-in every week, photos included, even on the bad weeks.
You are chasing fat loss, muscle, a stage, or your health back, and you want the fastest honest route.
This is not for you if
You want a workout handed to you and nothing else. That is personal training, and ARC does it well on the floor.
You want a quick fix before a vacation. Adam coaches seasons, not weeks.
You are not willing to track food, sleep and steps. The numbers are how he coaches.

Questions
Before you apply.
Do I have to live in Indianapolis?
No. Many of Adam's private clients are remote. Check-ins, video reviews and plans work the same way wherever you train. Indianapolis clients can add in person sessions at ARC.
What does private coaching cost?
Pricing is discussed on your call once Adam knows your goal and timeline. The roster is limited so every check-in gets his attention, and he would rather have the right people than the most people.
Do I need to want to compete?
No. Most clients are chasing fat loss, muscle, or getting their health back. Competition prep is one path, not the requirement.
How is this different from personal training at ARC?
Personal training is coached sessions on the ARC floor with the team. Private coaching is Adam personally running your nutrition, training, recovery and weekly check-ins, with in person sessions optional.
