July 31 · Sean BranniganI couldn’t find a better gym even if I wanted to. I moved to Verona in May and tried numerous gyms in the area. Being a longtime gym goer and even working at numerous gyms in the past, I was immediately impressed. The staff is always welcoming and greets you with a smile. Huge array of equipment from weight machines to various cardio machines, an upstairs ab studio, and boxing misc room. Always easy to get the equipment I’m looking for. Everything is maintained, everything is clean. Even the clientele are very easygoing and courteous. It’s all around a very positive and motivating environment. Membership and PT is a very reasonable value. I’m confident all the trainers are great. Mine in particular is AJ and he is fantastic. You can tell the staff is very passionate about what they do which is what makes them so effective.
August 23 · Marielle MI absolutely love this gym! I’ve been working out consistently for about 17 years and have experienced my fair share of commercial gyms, but this place is truly a hidden gem. It has everything you could possibly need: top-notch equipment, a clean and welcoming environment, and best of all, none of the overwhelming crowds you usually find at bigger chain gyms. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. The equipment is spotless, regularly cleaned, and well-maintained. Even the bathrooms are impressively clean. Honestly, I can’t say a single bad word about this place. It’s hands-down one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to!
April 20 · Jessica HarknessBest Local GymIf you are looking for a gym that has everything that you need and nothing you don’t, Hardbodyz is for you. Whether you’re into weightlifting, cardio, or boxing/martial arts, this gym has you covered.I’ve been in and out of gyms most of my life. The sense of community that I get at this gym is so great. People are friendly and there’s no intimidating vibe at all. People smile and say hello, which I can’t say I’ve seen at other chain gyms in the area.Now here’s the best part - do NOT sleep on the personal training! When you sign up, you get a free session with a trainer. Initially, I thought I didn’t need the session, but something pushed me to try it. I got a session with Coach AJ and that session totally changed my fitness trajectory. I’ve been training with Coach AJ for a year now, and the gains I’ve made in my physique have far outweighed anything I’ve ever been able to do on my own. I finally look like I work out. He knows when to push, to back off, and always leads with kindness. I’m never worried about getting injured because of his attention to detail. When I think back on all of the years I wasted and could’ve been progressing had I started sooner with Coach AJ, wow, there’s just no argument for the value this instruction and gym has in my life.Whether you are with Coach AJ, Mike, Lou, Stephanie or any other trainer there, you will be in expert hands.This gym has heart and it is such a gem. If you join, you won’t regret it!
August 04 · gigiflemingIt’s rare to find a fair business that puts the love of their craft, above greed. The employees promote these concepts with professionalism, honesty, transparency and the best deal you’ll find. The positive energy in the gym reflects all this.
