The way you feel affects everything—how you work, how you show up for the people you care about, and what you're able to do with your life.
You need the right coach and system. One you can trust to believe in you even more than you believe in yourself.
Most fitness programs begin with a workout. Lerner Performance begins with the person. The right program depends on who you are, what you want, where you're starting, and what has stopped you before.
We account for your schedule, lifestyle, body history, and priorities. The solution is never more sweat—it is the right strategy, the right coach, and uncompromising accountability.
“Adam is the best trainer I've ever had. He kept my mind strong as well as my body throughout the process. Initially as I started my comeback, I thought I would not be able to get back to my old form, but Adam guided me back to readiness for the highest level.”
Case Bruton
Former Professional Basketball Player
“Adam is a phenomenal trainer and the kind of person anyone would be lucky to have in their corner. It is difficult to overstate the impact Adam has had on my life; he is exactly what one would want in a coach and mentor.”

“It may sound like hyperbole, but it is difficult (maybe even impossible) to overstate the impact Adam has had on my life.”
Addison Stahl

“Coach Adam changed my life. He made me a better athlete, but more importantly he made me a better human.”
Vince Cachero

“The positive impact he has been able to influence for my struggling son has been more meaningful than counseling or any other intervention we have tried.”
Lisa Hawes

“He is able to meet me where I am — whether I need to figure out the logistics of how to continue training while I am traveling or the psychology of why I might be having trouble getting motivated to train regularly.”
Kara Keeling

Coaching happens primarily in your home. We come to you in Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance and the surrounding South Bay communities. Online and gym-based options are also available when they make sense for your life.
Not at all. We work with everyone, from people just starting out to those who have trained for years. We will always meet you exactly where you are today.
The in-home assessment is free for approved applicants. Once we review your application and it looks like a good fit, we'll reach out to schedule a 60–90 minute physical and lifestyle assessment in your home.
We bill monthly so you aren't locked into a long contract. We hope you stay because you love the results. Every plan includes nutrition, travel plans, and online help.
Adam coaches his clients himself and stays personally involved in your training, your nutrition and your progress. That takes real time with each person — so he works with only a limited number of clients at once, here in Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach and the South Bay. Every application is reviewed by Adam personally. Not everyone is accepted. If you are, you get his full attention — and a coach who holds you to the standard you set together.
