April 08 · Lashonda CantyIf you're prepared to sweat during EVERY session, you definitely need to hire Calvin as your personal trainer! No group classes, just one on one training, which ensures proper form & technique. He will educate you on fitness and healthy eating, and he will ALWAYS push you past what u think you can do, which is everything I've ever wanted in a trainer. I miss this gym family!!
April 20 · Yolanda LeonardIn December of 2021, I started researching private gyms that had a dedicated certified fitness trainer. I had been 1 year out of back surgery and wanted to get back in shape. I found Bodies and Beyond online, which fit exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to rejoin a big gym with a bunch of lunkheads working out. I got setup with Calvin (owner and a true fitness trainer/competition body builder) for 36 sessions of personalized training starting early January 2022. I have been very impressed with his knowledge of and dedication to my fitness training. I worked out most of my life and quickly learned a lot of things I was doing wrong all those years. He assesses me as I am working out and adjusts as necessary. After my 36 sessions, I extended for another 36 as I was very much liking my results. I like that Calvin didn't just stick me on some routine but changes it up every week and pushes me to go further than I would on my own. If you expect to be coddled like a child, then this isn't the gym for you. However, if you are willing to put in the work and effort, then Calvin and Bodies and Beyond will help you meet your fitness goals! I also like the flexibility they have allowed me when I have to move a workout day around if I can't make it. I am still being trained by Calvin to date. Thank you to Calvin and Ms. Willie.
July 24 · Vince HathawayThis was one of the best gyms that I have ever been too. Was only in the area for about 6 months and the ownership was happy to work with me in getting me a sweet deal. Gave me the yearly membership price even though I wasn’t there for long and allowed me to cancel when it was time for me to go with no extra fees. Gym isn’t the biggest but it has everything you could ever want and most of the time it’s empty so you rarely wait for any machine/weights. The 24/7 access fob is perfect for when you want to hit up the gym early in the morning or late at night. Also a huge fan of the daily gym tips that are pushed out via email, lots of useful information within them and I hope to continue to receive them. Overall had a great experience here and would highly recommend this gym to anyone that is in the area.
August 01 · Hector CamachoI’ve been attending this gym since February and it has been the best investment I’ve made for my physical and mental well-being. I am familiar with working out but once I started my personal training sessions, I realized I was doing my workouts wrong. Mr. Calvin helped improve my form and technique. He helped me reach personal goals. Even through the pandemic, Mr. Calvin and Ms. Willie ensured that I could continue improving my physical health by providing Skype workout sessions . For my birthday, I received a card in the mail from this family oriented business. This is my third experience with a personal trainer and that has never happened before.Ms. Willie and Mr. Calvin are amazing and have made this journey one of the best for me. I would HIGHLY recommend this business.
