About Me
Why I created this site – My 3 Blog Goals
your body for optimal health and fat loss.
Business – To teach effective business development strategies,
both online and off, leading to the shortest path to the sale.
Personal – To leverage my time and money.
My mentor told me my personal goals should exceed
both my body and business goals.
Below is what my
“personal” goal is really about:
As my family grows, I do what it takes to find ways to
make supplemental income, and the internet, I found,
is an AMAZING way to do that.
So you might find me talking more on various
internet marketing tools and tips on some weeks.
I’m a coach. To coach is to teach. So think of if as not
just teaching fitness but “coaching” different subjects.
I’m going to be as transparent as I can here.
If an idea or strategy has made a difference in my life,
I’m sure it can make an impact and help YOU. So look
out for new blog posts each day. If you like what you see or

About About You
One-On-One with Personal Trainer Adriel Yapana
isn’t your average run-of-the-mill trainer. This rising
fitness expert, who has been involved in resistance
training and exercise for most of his life, knows
the focused dedication and sacrifice it takes to
build a great, strong, healthy body. Born in
Quezon City, Philippines and growing up in Los
Angeles, California, Adriel was always a dedicated
athlete and student. The fact that fitness was
always an integral part of his life, he never
imagined it would later become a successful career for him.
Before finishing his course in EMT (Emergency
Medical Technician) with aspirations of being a
firefighter, Adriel’s initial plans centered on
attending courses the mind and body’s potential
had led him to fitness and health. He had worked
as a part-time fitness trainer for friends while
in college, but never thought this hobby would
shape his future. Now, 15 years later, he’s never
looked back.
During my sophomore year, my primary focus was on
being a firefighter and taking the required fire
science courses, the 37-year-old recalls. I was
always studying, but knew deep down inside that
this was not necessarily my life’s calling. I’ve
had this innate passion for transforming the human
body through exercise and positive lifestyle
choices. And more importantly for me, it was all about helping people.
Training at a local body building gym near the
Pasadena College was actually a blessing in
disguise Adriel recalls. It allowed me to try
other things, Adriel says. After seeing that I
could actually build a successful and satisfying
career as a trainer, I knew that this was a
passion that I wanted to pursue. I figured that if
I can attain 4-5 clients, why not 20-30? That’s exactly what I did.
Adriel’s popularity as a Los Angeles-based trainer
grew quickly. I have often referred my hometown as
the Land of the Looks because Hollywood was only a
few short miles away. Appropriately, he named his
training company Achieve With Adriel Mobile
Fitness as a way to convey and to encourage people
who were ready to make some life changing
decisions. Adriel believes that first, you must
transform your thinking before you can change your
body. Thereafter, he works his magic on keeping
the body’s energy high as one of his main
component in his fitness regimen; intensity in his
workout is the key.
Adriel always tries to distinguish himself as
fitness professional. I see too many incompetent
and unprofessional trainers these days, he says.
It tarnishes the dedication and commitment of the
true fitness professionals. Sometimes I walk into
these fitness clubs and can’t figure out who’s the
trainer and who’s the client!
Among Adriel’s credentials, he is a Certified
Fitness Professional Trainer through International
Sports Science Association (ISSA), Ceritified
Massage Therapist, graduated from California
Healing Arts College in Santa Monica,
award-winning weight-loss consultant formerly with
Jenny Craig, Bally Total Fitness, memberships with
National Academy of Sports Medicine, Future Fit,
IDEA Fitness, Professional Fitness Trainer, Expert
Rating and the CHEK Institute the very popular and
quite often predominately focused nichewomen’s
fitness, completed and passed Equal, but not the
Same considerations for training females course.
The Los Angeles native says that being of serious
student of health and fitness has helped him
tremendously in understanding training and
nutrition. He believes that he is part scientist,
part artist, part marketer and part trainer. The
gym is one of his playgrounds, his laboratory, and
this is one place where he sculpts the body of
each client.
Adriel believes that the keys to success for total
transformation lie in the variation in the
training progressive overload and intensity,
frequently changing your routine and sequence.
Another powerful key is that the other 22.5 hours
you spend your time outside the gym the habits
formed and lived in those critical hours lead you
or break you towards your personal fitness
progress and results.
His fitness philosophy always incorporates posture
and stability first, then intensity, strength and
power follows. Strict techniques and proper
biomechanics are some major keys in staying in the
game, consistent, and injury-free. I find it
imperative to first teach a client the proper way
to stabilize and properly execute an activity
motion before intensity is raised or weights
increased, he explains. Correct posture and
stabilization is vital. Once the person has
learned how to properly control and contract his
or her muscles, aesthetic of the body will follow
and changes will happen much quicker and with
lasting and injury-free results.
Now isn’t that what we all want?
