Success Stories

M. B. 

“When I started working with Pam, I was 52, feeling tired, unmotivated, and unsure where to begin. I knew I needed to make a change for my health, but I was hesitant, especially when it came to lifting weights. I was afraid I’d bulk up.​ Pam had a little giggle and said, ‘Not a chance.’ And she was right. She introduced me to strength training, and not only did I not bulk up—I actually increased muscle and lowered my body fat. I felt stronger and more confident than I had in years.

​

One of the most lasting takeaways from our time together was learning the connection between protein and fitness. I had never thought about it before. I had spent so many years stuck in a mindset of restriction, believing that eating less was the answer. Pam helped me shift that mindset completely and do what was best to fuel my body in a way that supported real, sustainable results.

​

Now, 10 years later, I’m in postmenopause and still feeling the benefits of what Pam taught me. If you’re a woman navigating midlife, my advice is—start now. You don’t have to accept the symptoms as your new normal. You can feel strong, energized, and in control. Pam showed me that’s absolutely possible.”

I started working with Pam when I was 43, when she agreed to train me for my first figure competition. What followed was nothing short of life-changing. Pam didn’t just coach me—she encouraged, supported, and educated me every step of the way. The journey pushed me to new limits and taught me much about myself physically and mentally.

One of the things I really love about Pam is that she’s not about quick fixes or chasing whatever trendy fitness advice is floating around online. She builds a plan that actually works for you, based on real science and real results. She's flexible, listens to what you need, and adjusts things along the way.

​

And more than anything—she cares. She wants you to succeed, and she helps you recognize progress even when you don’t see it yourself. She’s warm, thoughtful, and always puts your health and well-being first. Pam helped me accomplish something I never thought I could, and she did it while always putting my health and long-term wellness first.

I reached out to Pam a year before starting this hiking adventure on the Appalachian Trail, which would involve over 2,100 miles in six months. She was the only person who came to mind. I wanted to work with someone who could guide my strength training and incorporate nutritional guidance specific to my goal. I needed to build joint strength and learn how to carry a 35-pound pack, considering I was perimenopausal.

Pam set up virtual workouts for me every week and we scheduled a monthly check in, but she was also available for questions and encouragement. She's already checking in on me twice in 3 Days into my hike! She is truly invested.

"What I appreciate most about Pam is how completely authentic and compassionate she is in her work.

Fitness and diet culture are constantly bombarding us with the latest fads and quick-fix gimmicks but there’s none of that working with Pam. Her approach is 100% meet-you-where-you’re-at, logical, sustainable, and science/data-driven. She’s not trying to sell you anything proprietary so any specific recommendations she makes are completely independent and unbiased.

​

If your goal is to make realistic and sustainable changes so that your nutrition supports your needs, I could not recommend Pam highly enough."

Kathleen

"I struggle with more than one chronic illness and my diet is a huge part of managing them. I was completely overwhelmed with a medically required elimination diet but Pam's knowledge and expertise made a daunting task feel much easier. Quick response times, helpful advice, and supplement support helped me identify my dietary triggers and make significant changes. I feel physically better, have more energy, and even leveled out my moods all thanks to Pam's guidance. I've also lost 25+ lbs in the process! Even though the elimination part of my diet is over, I have decided to continue with Pam and the Synergy program as a part of a new, healthier lifestyle!"

Marcia

"Life for me before starting this program was eating anything I wanted without understanding how much I should consume. I didn't make healthy choices nor did I do any type of exercising. This prompted elevation in my glucose levels and my BMI was above where I should've been. Working with Pam has changed my life by teaching me how to make healthier choices, portioning out my foods, and understanding how fitness should be part of your day towards a healthier you. So far, in 6 weeks, I have lost 20 pounds. Clothes fit much better and I have shed 2 sizes. I no longer struggle with shortness of breath when I'm walking fast to get to my next meeting at work. I am running/jogging without getting tired before 2 minutes. I am tasting and eating foods that I never would've chosen to eat. Healthier choice foods still taste good and are filling."

"I tend to think of myself as having a good understanding of nutrition and the importance of it for wellbeing. What Pamela has educated me with, how to eat the right foods to achieve my goals. It’s an ongoing process and I am enjoying it. I will be turning sixty this year and I feel great...I have changed my body through weights and the right nutrition." 

Eloise

"I had several operations to correct joint problems. I had gained weight in retirement. Pamela makes me feel comfortable about exercising and establishing a routine. Being an “older” client of Pam has been very rewarding for my quality of life. She encourages a “can do” attitude. The first big change is committing to having a healthy exercise routine.  Because of this, my movements are more effortless so much so that I have participated in a 5K race twice!  And that’s with two knee replacements, major surgery on both shoulders, and a major ankle repair.  After working very hard, and getting my mind in the right place, I have been able to incorporate healthy eating habits along with regular workouts and have lost nearly 60 pounds in the past 8 months." 

J.P

"[What I learned along the way is] learning about synergy - the way foods work together. Trying new foods and getting my husband to do so as well. Seeing results in weight loss, medicine reduction, and stamina. Finding that I am strong and can meet all the challenges we face in life without using food as a drug. I was severely overweight or obese and mostly sedentary. I ate emotionally and without regard to my health. I feel proud of what Pam and I have accomplished."  

Kelly

"Pam Adams is an amazing and caring person. She far surpasses the basic job description. Pam’s knowledge of the fitness industry is unrivaled. She is one of the first people I turn to with questions and advice. Pam’s expertise and sunny disposition make her stand out from the crowd. She is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. I would recommend her to anyone seeking supportive nutritional guidance and a great training experience in a heartbeat. Pam will inspire you to reach your full potential. I would not be where I am today if it were not for Pam Adams.  I am blessed to have her in my life." 

J. S.

"Pamela has been wonderful to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable and was tremendous support in my journey towards a more healthy lifestyle. Before nutrition counseling, my diet was very poor. I was always tired, had a great deal of abdominal distress, and was gaining weight. Pam will work with you from where you are now instead of asking you to change your diet and exercise habits all at once. Let her know what you are having trouble with and she will give you choices that you can live with to overcome them [challenges]. I have realized that I actually enjoy eating healthy foods, and in doing so, my abdominal distress has disappeared. I am also ecstatic to have lost some weight."

Ashley

"Pamela has provided me with guidance and direction that has completely changed my life. She recognizes the appropriate and beneficial skills that I need to accomplish my fitness and nutrition goals. These goals have fluctuated drastically over the years, especially during times of injury. Every time, without fail, she solves complex problems and adapts. She has had a tremendous impact on my health. I owe my full recovery to her."
