Who is Adam Kemp?

Who is Adam Kemp?

I’m Adam Kemp, a professional basketball player, fitness consultant, and nutrition educator with more than a decade of experience playing professional basketball in Europe. Before turning pro, I played NCAA Division I basketball at Marist College, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Sports Communication with a minor in Psychology.


My career has included NBA Summer League experience with the Detroit Pistons, training camp with EuroLeague club Olimpia Milano, and competition in the Basketball Champions League, VTB United League, and FIBA Europe Cup.

Managing severe asthma, Tourette Syndrome, and major injuries has also shaped how I think about performance, recovery, resilience, and long-term health.

I later earned a master’s degree in Nutrition Education from American University and became an ISSA-certified personal trainer. I combine formal education with firsthand professional-sports experience to share practical, evidence-based guidance on basketball, fitness, nutrition, recovery, and athletic performance.

My Professional Basketball Career

I began my professional basketball career in 2014 after four seasons at Marist College and have since competed for clubs throughout Europe. My career has included NBA Summer League experience with the Detroit Pistons, training camp with EuroLeague club Olimpia Milano, and competition in leagues and tournaments such as the Basketball Champions League, VTB United League, and FIBA Europe Cup.

In Poland, I earned a silver medal with Legia Warszawa in the 2021-2022 season, and later won the 2025–26 Polish 1 Liga championship with Astoria Bydgoszcz. Those experiences, along with more than a decade of professional basketball, have shaped how I approach strength and power development, conditioning, nutrition, injury management, recovery, and longevity.

Through the Basketball section of Adam Kemp Fitness, I turn those lessons into practical resources for players and athletes who want to train more effectively, recover better, and better understand the game’s physical demands.

Want to Workout the Way I Do?

Do you want to work out like a pro athlete?

I regularly post my personal “Workout of the Day” sessions, which are custom workouts I craft for myself based on years of professional basketball experience and evidence-based training strategies.

If you’re looking for a full workout plan that’s easy to follow and more affordable than hiring an in-person trainer or a dedicated online fitness coach (though not quite as personalized or effective), I follow expert-designed workouts from the Team Beachbody BODi App.

These are my favorite online workouts, and they’ve become a key part of how I stay strong, mobile, and game-ready throughout the year.

  • Expert-Led Programs: Train with world-class coaches and trainers for proven, results-driven workouts.
  • Variety & Flexibility: Access strength training, cardio workouts, mobility exercises, plyometric training, recovery workouts, and more, anytime, anywhere.
  • All-in-One Platform: Includes workout plans, nutrition guides, and progress tracking to support your complete fitness journey.

Along with an undergraduate degree in Communications, where I developed extensive research and writing skills, I earned a Master’s degree in Nutrition Education from American University (completed in 2022) and am an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer (certified in 2020). I combine academic expertise with pro-athlete experience to offer advice that is both highly educated and practical. Over the years, I have collaborated with experts and stayed current in exercise science, enabling me to provide personalized, science-backed fitness and nutrition plans. My expertise has been recognized by major publications, including Forbes, Sports Illustrated, AskMen, and Men’s Journal, where my insights have been featured.

I provide a range of services to help people improve their fitness and athletic performance at any level:

  • Online Fitness Coaching: Personalized workout programs and nutrition guidance delivered remotely. I leverage my experience in professional sports and nutrition education to design personalized routines that align with your goals and lifestyle, helping you build strength, lose weight, or enhance your overall health.
  • Personalized Wellness Consulting: One-on-one health and fitness consulting for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness. This service encompasses everything from exercise and diet to sleep and stress management, providing a comprehensive plan for long-term well-being.
  • Athletic Advising: Mentorship and advisory services for athletes from high school to the professional level. I serve as a guide for athletic development, providing training tips, college recruitment advice, and career transition support to help maximize an athlete’s potential at every stage. Whether you’re aiming for a college scholarship or navigating pro opportunities, I can provide expert insight to help plan your path in sports.

Absolutely. I am the author of “Adam Kemp’s 7-Day Detox: A Natural Approach to Resetting Your Body and Mind,” a book that encapsulates his philosophy on nutrition and wellness. The book offers a 7-day plan, including meal advice, workouts, and daily habits, to help you naturally detoxify your body, boost your energy, and establish sustainable, healthy routines. I offer a free 7-Day Detox eBook to subscribers of his newsletter, which is packed with some of his best research and tips for jumpstarting a healthy lifestyle​. This resource is a great starting point for anyone looking to benefit from my knowledge.

I have over 10 years of professional basketball experience in Europe and Eurasia. After graduating from Marist College in 2014, I began my professional career and competed in elite leagues, including the VTB United League, the Basketball Champions League, and the FIBA Europe Cup. I also had a stint with the NBA’s Detroit Pistons during the 2015 Summer League and participated in a EuroLeague training camp with Olimpia Milano in 2022​. This extensive playing career has given me firsthand insight into high-level athletic training, teamwork, and discipline.

My personal story is one of overcoming adversity. I grew up battling severe exercise-induced asthma and Tourette Syndrome​, which made early athletic life difficult. Rather than giving up, I adapted and developed resilience, eventually excelling in sports through specialized training and determination. During my professional basketball career, I have also endured serious injuries, including several severe ankle injuries, a spinal stress fracture, and a severe bout of COVID-19​. Each setback taught me valuable lessons in recovery and peak performance, deepening my commitment to helping others overcome their challenges.

Yes. My expertise in fitness and health has been highlighted in several well-known media outlets. I have been featured in Forbes, Sports Illustrated, AskMen, NBC News, Men’s Journal, and other notable publications. In these features, I often share professional insights on training, nutrition, and wellness. These media appearances underscore my credibility and the trust that industry leaders place in my knowledge.

Maintaining integrity and transparency is central to my approach. My primary income comes from playing basketball, so I am not dependent on selling products or pushing supplements​. While my website does feature some affiliate links (so I may earn a small commission if you purchase a recommended product), I clearly disclose this to readers and only promote products I genuinely believe in. My recommendations are based on thorough research and personal experience, ensuring you get honest guidance you can trust as you pursue your health or fitness goals.
