BbG Fitness has been around for 10+ years. Ginny and her team are still by far the best around. Full body workouts mixed with cardio - it doesnt get any better! I LOVE that the workouts are outside, theres literally nothing better than starting your day, as the sun is rising, getting in a good sweat. Thank you BbG!!!

I've been a BbG client since the beginning. Why? I love to exercise outside. Since I sit/stand in front of a computer all day, exercising in a gym or in front of a tv or computer screen would not be good. Mostly though it's the instructors-Ginny of course, is an amazing, motivating instructor as is Tammy, Amy and Christa. They come prepared, they care and it shows. AND it never gets easier... that's a good thing. Finally, all the wonderful friends I've made throughout the years who continue to inspire and motivate me.

Highly recommend! Body by Ginny/BbG Fitness has been part of my life for nearly 17 years, 3 days a week. In all of that time I have never done the same workout twice! Every class is different and focuses on a different muscle group. She and her instructors always provide variations--from most difficult to easiest, which is why she has class participants ranging from teens (coming with a parent) to women who are nearly 80! Her philosophy is to work to the best of your ability and focus on good form, not speed or difficulty. Her classes are always welcoming for "newbies". I love that her classes

I joined BbG when it was no longer safe to go to the gym. I fully expected to be a short term, fair weather participant, but I treasure the time outdoors, event on the coldest of days. BbG classes are well planned, well executed and very effective. I'm a convert!
