Personal trainer for Newport Beach clients
5.0 on Google. Training clients since 2005, in my own private Irvine studio since 2008. Plans from $197 a month, published, because you should not have to ask.
You live or work in Newport Beach. I train clients one-on-one at my private Irvine studio, a straightforward drive inland, and I serve Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Corona Del Mar, Huntington Beach and Irvine.
The drive in from Newport Beach
There is no Newport Beach address to find. My one studio is at 17165 Von Karman Ave, Suite 103, Irvine, and Newport Beach clients drive in to it.
From Fashion Island the drive inland is straightforward. What you get for the drive is a private room, an appointment-only schedule, and my attention on you instead of a gym floor.
Posture is your foundation
Imagine the foundation of a building is the same as your joints. If the foundation is weak, and you add weight or push the building sideways, it sways and falls.
Your joints are no different. So we start your body from the basics and progressively advance it on the NASM Optimal Performance Training model, correcting posture while you burn fat and build muscle. Individual results vary.
How fat loss actually works
Say your body burns 2,000 calories a day and you eat 2,500. Your body stores 500 as fat. Burn 2,000 and eat 1,500 and you lose 500 of fat.
So we find your RMR, read your activity level, and train weekly to keep your muscle while you sit in a calorie deficit. If the weight is not moving, move more and eat less.
Muscle balance and injury prevention
I build programs around the exercises that correct muscle imbalances. An imbalance costs you posture, workout efficiency and sport performance, and it is where injuries tend to start.
Balanced muscle buys you range of motion, strength, tougher tendons and ligaments, better posture, more efficient training, healthier joints and sharper neuromuscular control. Individual results vary.
Flexibility and assisted stretching
We release the tight muscles with assisted stretching. Releasing adhesions before you stretch helps lengthen the muscle, prevents stiffness, and lets the opposite muscles fire more easily.
Stretching a muscle that is already weak or over-lengthened makes the imbalance worse, which is why the screen comes first and the stretch plan is written for you.
Your trainer
I am Brad Glaser. Five certifications: NASM CPT and Master Trainer, NASM-CES, NASM-PES, NCSF and PFIT, plus a current CPR card. I have trained clients since 2005 and founded OC Personal Training in 2008.
I rose to Master Trainer at a national chain and trained all its trainers, then became Fitness Manager at one of its busiest locations at 20. The studio is completely private: you and me.
Nutrition and the days between visits
We do not put you on a diet. We change how you eat around your work and your activity level, so you keep it. Fitness is a journey, not a destination.
Plans start at $197 a month and include VeraForma Premium free, a $29.99 a month value. It programs the days between your Irvine visits, which matters when you drive in from the coast.
Sleep and the slot you book
Book the hour that protects your night. A 6 AM start means leaving Newport Beach in the dark, so take a later slot if early mornings cost you sleep.
Eight hours is the target. Sleep is when your body replenishes itself from everything you put it through. Skimp on it and you will likely feel groggy, low on energy and generally worse.
Your water number, in cups
Drink at least 3 liters a day, about 12 cups. If you are carrying extra weight, add roughly one extra cup for every 20 lbs over your ideal weight.
Water moves the carbs and protein you use as fuel, and carries waste out. It is one of the simplest things you can control, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Count yours before the free hour.
The days you are not driving in
The days between visits are not blank days. 30 minutes of daily movement keeps your body active, raises your caloric expenditure and supports cardiovascular health. Consider 30 minutes the floor, not the ceiling.
It does not have to look like a session here. It has to happen on the days you stay in Newport Beach instead of driving in. Individual results vary.
Questions
Do you have a Newport Beach studio?
No. My one studio is off Von Karman Ave in Irvine. I serve Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Corona Del Mar, Huntington Beach and Irvine from it.
Is every session private?
Yes. Just you and me in the room. No crowds, nobody watching, and the schedule is appointment only.
What are the studio hours?
Monday to Friday, 6 AM to 8 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Every session runs by appointment, so we set your time when we talk.
How do I book the free session?
Use the free session form with your name, email and phone, or call (949) 574-4755. No credit card, and I call you within 1 business day to book a time.
Do I need doctor clearance first?
If you have a condition, get cleared by your own doctor first. We then build your training around what the posture and movement check finds.
