It has been an AMAZING experience. Coming from an athletic background I am able to find myself in great hands here. The workouts are well put together and able to adjust to different levels depending where you are on your journey. I love coming to workout, everyone is so friendly and treats you like part of the FAMILY. BBD has a great community and if you are looking to improve your health and active lifestyle, here is the place for you! I highly recommend BBD.

I have a desk job where I sit and work at a computer all day. Long work days and Covid sent me into a year of lost workouts - I quickly lost flexibility, stamina and my fitness level became the worst in years. I wasn't able to do the hiking and activities I like with the same ease and joy as before. That's not the life I want, so I started a search for a new gym where I could get training. I found more than a gym and more than "training" at Bodies By Design. The facility and equipment are the BEST and the owner- trainers exceed my expectations with their expertise and glowing positive energy.

I discovered the effectiveness (and enjoyability) of high intensity boot camp style fitness programs several years ago so was very particular in what I wanted when looking for a place to work out after two years of "vegging." There are several gyms in the community at large that offer this type programming but what drew me to the Bodies by Design Workout Room was the "private and semi-private" training offered, something I'd not yet experienced. How was this going to happen in a boot camp (group) setting? As I've only been at BBD 5-weeks, my interpretation of this so far is: workout sessions are

I joined BBD in April. I am a 44-year-old father of two that sits at a computer all day, has knee pain from a previous ACL tear, and I had gained weight and was feeling terrible. When I met with Fred, I told him my only goal was to start feeling better and live longer for my kids. In just 3 months, I've lost 14 lbs. I've lost 22 lbs of body fat. I've gained 6 lbs of muscle. I've reduced my body fat percent by over 8%. More importantly, I feel so much better. I have more energy and less knee pain. The workouts at BBD are challenging and fun. I genuinely enjoy going to the gym for the first time

Im incredibly grateful to be a member of BBD. If youre looking to get in the best shape of your life then Bodies By Design is just the place for you! I have been a member of BBD for a decade. The motivating Semi-private trainings are just what I needed to lose the final 15 pounds that just wouldnt come off....no matter what workouts I did on my own. I am a busy working mother of twins and they offer many workout times to meet a busy lifestyle. BBD has amazing trainers that truly care about you and are there to help you reach your fitness goals and motivate you to be at your very best along

I joined Bodies By Design looking for something different than the normal gym classes that I had been doing the last few years. With BBD, I found a workout family to encourage and challenge me. We have fun while getting a great workout done each session. Donovan has been a wonderful coach and a great inspiration.

I can honestly say that Bodies By Design has changed how I think and feel about working out and what a gym can offer. I reached out to Bodies By Design in March before my June wedding hoping to get some help losing those last few pounds to look like the perfect bride. I figured I would join, get some personal training for a few months, and then go back to my old habits.
Well, here I am, 8 months later and not only am I still a member, but realize that for the first time in my life I actually look forward to going to the gym. Everyone at Bodies By Design is so positive and supportive, you really
