I've been going to BBG classes for more than 5 years. That should be testimony in itself, but I'll add these details: in more than 500 workouts I have participated in, no two are exactly alike and in each one, I find myself doing an exercise I've never done before. The classes combine cardio, stretching, and strength training, and each one focuses on a different muscle group--maybe arms one day, core muscles another, glutes and hams another. If I feel a little sore the next day, I know my previous day's workout has been a success and I've pushed myself to my limit. So the exercise part is great. Then there's GINNY!!! Or any of her other trainers. Their philosophy is to do your best. YOU are your only competition. Each trainer knows SO much about how the muscle groups work. Often between the counts for a particular exercise ("Down one, down two, etc."), Ginny will call out, "Push your heel to the sky!" and just that small adjustment makes a huge difference in how much more I feel the exercise. I just turned 64 and feel a lot better and am much more active than I would be without these sessions. Also, Ginny always encourages me to modify an exercise if I need to. (I will never be able to do 50 full plank push-ups, but I certainly can do the modified ones and feel it the next day!) I cannot recommend Ginny and her team highly enough. They are motivating, professional, friendly, with 19 classes each week around Arlington and McLean. And even if you think this would be too much for you because perhaps you haven't worked out in a while, come try a free class--you'll be a little sore the next day but it will be the beginning of a longer, healthier, happier life! read more

Body by Ginny is awesome!!! I had done another bootcamp in Arlington before and Ginny's is so much better!! Its not the kind of traditional bootcamp where someone is screaming in your face forcing you to do thousands of push ups but at the same time you get a really tough and challenging work out... everyday is different, Ginny always mixes it up. This workout is for everyone, from people who have little to no experience working out to people who are already really fit. The trainers and all the people who take the class are super friendly and supportive. The best part of this bootcamp though is the flexibility of the classes. There are so many different options for days/times all around Arlington and McLean which is great for people who don't have a regular schedule or are just really busy. Definitely try a class you won't regret it!! read more

These fitness classes provide a whole-body workout that strengthens muscles, while also improving cardiovascular fitness. The instructors are creative and knowledgable, making each class unique in its own way. There is no set routine, so you never get bored. On the other hand, the one thing you can ALWAYS count on is that the workout will be challenging and you will gain fitness, energy, and stamina. The results translate not just to your waistline (which has returned to my 50+ yr old body), but also to every other aspect of your life. I have been doing the classes for just over 1.5 years, and I'm hooked -- once you get in the habit, you'll never stop. Added bonuses are various fitness or health challenges that Ginny provides as additional incentive to improve your diet and overall wellness. read more

I have been into fitness for over 25 years now, but this is the most fun I've ever had. I started Body By Ginny a year ago and have been so impressed with the changes I've seen in both my strength and physique. All the instructors are fabulous so I am torn as to which class to go to! Despite it being a group class, personal attention is given to all. The flexibility of the classes has been a huge factor to me as well - so many times and locations that it is easy to get to class. I've met some great men and women at boot camp which keep me motivated along with the instructors. The challenges that are offered are fun and help me achieve goals I wouldn't do on my own. I would highly recommend it for anyone no matter what your fitness level; you will be surprised at what you can do! read more

There is simply nothing you can do to improve and maintain your overall wellness than participate in the classes at BbG. Ginny was born to be a fitness instructor. Her classes are creative, challenging and really fun, except that sometimes you can't believe what she's asking. All her instructors bring the same level of dedication and encouragement to the class. They all live, breathe, eat, drink and sleep fitness and nutrition. They work muscles you didn't even know you had. I've been doing BbG classes since Ginny started doing it about 9 or 10 years ago. It's been a life changer. Don't wait to start. You'll be addicted to feeling great before you know it. You'll never again think to yourself, "I need to get out and exercise". How good would that be?! read more

I have been going to BBG for over three years now and I love it. Today we did the 12 Days of Fitness. It was both challenging and fun. What I love about the classes is the way Ginny and the instructors structure the classes to include cardio, abs, core, and strength exercises. They work hard to provide alternatives when needed if exercisers are having problems with knees, shourlders, etc. The comaraderie and encouragement of fellow exercisers is also a tremendous incentive. There are also great options in terms of the times and locations of the classes. I have done other Boot Camps but none have kept me coming back week after week, month after month, year after year. The BBG Team does a great job! Pam K. 12/21/2011 read more

There is something unique about exercising outdoors in all weather, early in the morning before everyone's hectic day begins with like minded nice people... that can't quite be matched by any other form of exercise. We are all pushed beyond our limits by cheerful instructors... and encouraged by our co-exercisers. It is a great atmosphere to do what you never thought you could do... and would never push yourself to do alone. I am not an exercise addict, but I have been enjoying these challenging classes for at least five years. I've gotten noticeably stronger and it has helped me strengthen a troubling back. Come join us!! It really ends up being... dare I say it... fun. read more

I have been taking Body by Ginny classes for five years and I still find them inventive, challenging, and FUN. I have never done the same workout twice! I love exercising outdoors! Not only do the instructors motivate you to get more fit, but they also challenge you. Since starting with Ginny I have completed a sprint triathlon and numerous road races, the longest being 10 miles. And, if you want nutritional guidance, Ginny will help with that also. There are classes throughout the day, in a variety of locations, which is very convenient. If your goal is to be more fit, this is the class for you!! read more

Body by Ginny is the most challenging and fun workout you'll ever find. Being outdoors no matter what the weather makes me feel strong and alive -- we're out there in the swampy humidity of August and the freezing dark of winter, and having a blast! I regularly do local races now and even a sprint triathlon, thanks to Ginny and her crew -- they're awesome motivators. Plus she pushes us to think about what we eat and get healthier in all areas of our lives. You can take any class once you pay, and that's great too! read more

BbG has the flexibility in class times that a busy, working mom like myself needs. A flat, monthly fee and I can attend as many classes, whenever. Also with so many locations around Arlington, I keep my weights and mat in the car and know I can show up for a quick, workout wherever I happen to be. The clientele are my people: vintage, busy, parental, wanna get fit types that can laugh at how out of shape we all have gotten but still ready to busta move! read more

Body by Ginny is great! I have been going for about a year and a half. Each class is different; that keeps your mind on the work out not on the clock. You have lots of choices of classes for one monthly fee. Your fellow exercisers are supportive of each other and the instructors encouraging. Last but not least is that class is outside all year round; you get fresh air and a connection with the weather and change of seasons :-) read more

I love Body by Ginny. I started doing boot camp in the fall 2009 and have enjoyed it ever since. The classes are fun because they are always different and happen outdoors. The leaders and other exercisers provide a lot of encouragement so I'm able to push myself harder than I ever was in a gym alone. It builds functional strength and I get a lot of great nutrition advice. It's the highlight of my week! read more

I tried several boot camp programs in the area before finding body by ginny. I liked her class because I found it challenging, but not intimidating. It was a true full body workout using free weights and cardio bursts. Also, her pricing is on a monthly basis not a per class basis so once you pay, you can go to as many classes as you want at whatever day and time they are offered. read more

Ginny and all the leaders are the BEST!! I was never able to push myself the way Ginny does until I signed up for BBG. Ginny is sweet and encouraging, not mean like some trainers. And she gives great nutrition advice and has nutrition challenges. I love the workouts. They are never the same and I go back again and again and again. read more
