Full disclosure, I joined this group of studios. I tried them last year and found it too pricy. But then as I went around to other places in town, I just kept thinking about this workout format and the way I felt after doing some of the workouts. I did a trial run earlier this summer, and just bit the bullet and joined after that. As a result, Ive been to this studio a number of times recently, I found tis location to be perfect some days. Its much smaller than the Tonawanda location, which is good and bad. Good because there are fewer people in each class, bad because its often full for each class. Ive never been here with more than one instructor, and at Tonawanda's there is almost always 2, if not three but I imagine that has to do with size of class. The format is this - They create 6 workouts (Mon-Sat) which they then do for 4 weeks. Each workout is designed to hit different areas of the body, and some days have more weight and less cardio than others, they mix it up. Each class starts with the same tape to get everyone stretched out and ready for the next 50 min. Then there is a short cardio burst to get the blood flowing, and a longer section with some burpees or squats or whatever they think of. Then you pay attention while the instructor shows you what each exercise of the day is. By week four those demos don't take quite as long, but they still cover them all each day, and show you the various different levels for each exercise. Well trained group of instructors. Then the class starts, usually that portion is between 22-25 min. as you go from exercise to exercise. There may be some sort of 3 min end exercise, they often involve squats Ive found. Then the same cool down tape plays and everyone does that. Class ends as the instructor brings everyone into the middle for a "tip of the day". Sometimes those are super interesting, other times they are so-so. I don't think those are spelled out from corporate, I think they make them up themselves, which could explain why some are better than others. They have improved their website experience by joining mindbody, so that's nice. There is another location coming in Cheektowaga this fall. I look forward to checking that out too. This place is the home of the "6 weeks 20 lbs" challenge, and you'll have challengers in most classes. I cannot stress enough how much support these people get from the instructors and members in their goals. Most hit the goals if they show up to class and follow the diet plan. If you want to come try a class, PM me and Ill see if I can help make that happen. read more

These workouts are some of the best I have ever had. They are 1 hour long and you workout every inch of your body. The trainers are attentive and will push you. They have the infamous 6 week 20 lb challenge where you get your money back if you succeed, just make sure you read the small print before you join so you know what you need to do to get your money back. But honestly, even if you don't. I feel like these workouts are worth it! read more

I have to say that I'm also surprised at the negative reviews. I've been meaning to review the new location (their other location is in East Aurora), so here goes... If you've read my review of the EA location, you know I'm a fan and that I think this program rocks. I've been a member for over two years now and switched over to the Williamsville location since it is closer to my house than trucking out to EA 3x a week. The new location is gorgeous. The room size is great, even when class is full you don't feel too crowded. All of the equipment is new, so that's a plus too (I love fresh dumbbells!). Now on to the staff -- Trevor, Tom & Nick (and Ashley) are great to work with. In over two years, I've never had a problem they couldn't make right for me. Whether it's tweaking the nutrition plans to fit your tastes or any restrictions/limitations, or fixing your form during the workouts, or responding to questions via their Facebook pages. Bottom line, this place has gotten me results I could have never gotten on my own. Three years ago I was an overweight, out of shape asthmatic smoker (smart right?) who basically lived off of take out, since I had no idea how to cook. Fast forward to now, I'm 36lbs less than I was (am working on taking some of that off again as I just had a baby), my nutrition is on-point, I make all of my own meals and I'm a STRONG and HEALTHY person. I've run two half marathons, and over 30 5Ks. I can run after my four year old and new baby without a problem. Oh, and the asthma? Pretty much gone. I no longer need to take a preventative medication, and I last had my rescue inhaler refilled because it expired! I understand everyone has their own experiences with businesses, but being a member as long as I have and getting to know so many other members, I will tell you that overwhelmingly people view this place in very high regard. They change lives! And make it fun and not intimidating. If I could give 100 stars I would. read more

The trainers and entire staff at the The Transformation Center in Williamsville were absolutely amazing. After the first day of training I didn't know how I was going to keep this up for the entire time but after about 3 workouts I realized I could do it. I can honestly so that there is absolutely no way I would ever be able to push myself at the gym like I did while in the 6-week challenge. I've been a lot of different gyms and facilities and can honestly say the trainers there really know what they are doing. I learned the proper form for exercises and "when" to eat "what" so that I could reach my goals. Before starting the challenge I had trouble sleeping, was stressed and was really out of shape. In 6 weeks my sleep habits completely changed and I consistently got 7+ hours of straight-sleep, something I hadn't done in years. I was more focused at work and happier at home. I had more patience with at work and at home with my kids. My eating habits were transformed and I was never "hungry". I felt more energized and ready to tackle every day head on. In 6 weeks I lost a total of 31 pounds, dropped over 5% body fat and I feel great. I learned eating habits that I'm going to continue and learned the proper form to so many great exercises. If you're looking to lose weight and keep it off, DO THIS CHALLENGE! It is absolutely amazing as long as you follow the plan to a tee! I highly recommend! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - Lost 31lbs and 5.2% body fat in 6 weeks!! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I had my 6-week weigh in this morning and am so happy! I am well on my way to health, and there's no way I'm stopping now! Down 33 pounds so far! 6 weeks ago (and for years before that), I was disgusted with myself and was genuinely afraid that I had let myself go so much that there was no possible rescue or remedy. My doctor had suggested gastric-bypass surgery; I ached walking down stairs; I was a good wife and daughter and aunt and teacher and friend, but I always felt like there was a little asterisk after my positive qualities - a hugely obvious weakness and vulnerability for which I blamed myself every day. But I always made excuses anyway/thought that people who were fit and healthy were just "better" than I was in some fundamental way. I was ashamed of my weight but often comforted myself/rewarded myself with junk food, a cycle that made the problem worse with each passing day. But what I didn't know then that I know now is that committing to eating well and exercising makes you feel AMAZING! And confident! And accomplished! That the hard work and discipline yields real results. No pills, no surgery, no special foods, no starving myself until weigh-in and then bingeing afterwards...just protein/vegetable/fruit & protein/vegetable/fruit again and again and again for every meal until the fruit tastes SO sweet and a small portion is so satisfying and the joints don't ache anymore and the skin clears up and the pants get loose and the cravings practically go away. And the workouts. I thought I wasn't a workout person, thought it would be impossible to get out of bed. But now it is my routine. It's what I do. I am a person who works out, not someone who intends to. Not someone who joins a gym and never goes (as I have done for years!). I am so much stronger than I was 6 weeks ago. I have SO far to go, but I really have transformed into someone who wants and needs exercise. It makes me feel so good! I have tried so many times to lose weight and to "be good," and it's always been temporary and always felt like a chore and I always felt deprived and I always got a little madder at myself each time I failed to stick with it. But the accountability of this program and the giftedness of the trainers (correcting form, offering so much encouragement) and the amazing kindness and welcome from the members and other challengers has made me feel so lucky to be committed to something so wonderful. I am so incredibly grateful and happy and can't wait to crush challenges 2 and 3 over the next 12 weeks! Thank you Tom, Matt, Seton, Joe, and especially Nick...thank you to the amazing 5:30 am crew...thank you to all of my family, friends, colleagues and students for cheering me on and for being so happy for me! I have moved from a sense of shame to a sense of pride, and I am filled with energy and JOY! Thank you, Body and Soul Transformations! read more

Joining the Transformation Center was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I had tried many other diets and fads, but the "6 week, 20 pounds challenge" gave me a tangible and realistic goal to make small changes through eating clean and working out to reach fat loss. My first challenge was a success as I lost 28.6 pounds and started a lifelong journey towards maintaining a healthier lifestyle. During the first challenge, I was challenged physically each workout feeling accomplished by the end of our hour long session. I prepped meals with enthusiasm, sharing recipes and words of encouragement with other members who also took on the journey. The people and atmosphere make the experience what it is. Everyone bonds together to get through each workout, to talk through specific issues you may be having and many friendships are formed. My second challenge, I truly leaned on these friendships as it was more of a mental challenge for me. The weight was still coming off, but at a slower pace. The program continued to work, but we each had to push harder for our results. In the end, I lost 20.6 pounds for a total of 49.2 pounds lost. It wasn't easy, but I made it. Now, I focus my efforts on making better choices. I've learned that this is a lifelong journey, and I never want to go back to where I started. I feel so much more energetic, so much more focused and I know that I can do anything I put my mind to! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - 49.2 pounds and 4.9% body fat lost in 12 weeks! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

What can I say about Body and Soul Fitness? They gave me the kick in the rear that I needed to get myself in better shape. I'm disappointed that I needed $500 being taken away from me and dangled in front of my face for me to make the necessary changes to get in shape, but the fact of the matter is, I did. I'm sure many of you are in the same boat. I'm happy to report that it worked. I stuck with the program because I told myself (and others) that I AM NOT losing that $500! The diet was strict, and many times I was "sick of it." But I was more sick of being unhappy with my body. I was sick of getting winded walking up stairs, having trouble tying my shoes, and feeling like my wife didn't find me attractive anymore. Sticking to the meal plan was challenging, but I started seeing results FAST. I lost 10 lbs in the first week! I honestly could not believe it. My body adjusting that quickly proved to me how poorly I had been treating it lately. You eat whole, real foods. Eggs, meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and some nuts. Very satisfying, filling, foods that make you lose weight! The workouts are where the program really shines. You get in, have fun, work your butt off, and before you know it, it's over. You're dripping with so much sweat that one of the trainers comes up and asks you if you just got out of the pool. The workouts are fun, intense, and they fly by. The group atmosphere is awesome, and I felt like I was making friends with the people working out around me. We would cheer each other on and commiserate through the pain. My body adjusted quickly; week one I was doing level one, weeks 2-3 level 2, and weeks 4-6 I even found myself bumping up to level 3. Anyone, any age, any physical ability can do this program. All of the workouts are scalable to any intensity. Would I recommend the 6-Week Transformation Challenge at Body and Soul Fitness? Absolutely. In fact, I already have to a couple of my friends and coworkers! I can't adequately express the positive impact losing 20 lbs has had on my self-esteem, confidence, mood, and health. This isn't just about physical health. Every time I got a compliment on how I was looking better, my confidence shot through the roof. One of the most exciting benefits of the program was wanting to go clothes shopping for great looking clothes afterwards! Thanks Body and Soul. You really do change lives. -Adam Batt read more

Body & Soul Transformations - Adam Batt, before & after 6 Week Transformation Challenge. - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

When I think back on my weight journey over the course of the past ten years, I am both terrified and unbelievably proud. I am terrified that I didn't see the warning signs sooner, that I waited as long as I did to get help, and that I treated something as precious as my own body with such disregard. However, to see how far I've come in just 6 weeks is such a gift and makes the roller coster of a journey totally worth it. My weight gain was a slow and steady process. Every couple of years, I would notice clothes not fitting anymore and needing to go up a size. The holidays were very telling for me because I would get these beautiful new clothes as presents, and often have to return them because they didn't fit. I started to dread going shopping for fear of finding out what size I really was. My confidence started to plummet and it impacted my relationships. I had so much desire to change my lifestyle, but wasn't able to find a nutrition and fitness program that I could really stick with. Within the past year, my father passed away after a short battle with cancer. It was devastating. While I had an amazing emotional support system of friends and family, I still found myself turning to food for comfort at times. I found it nearly impossible to keep my food cravings under control. I was eating out almost every day and wasting money on junk food. At one point I stepped on a scale and realized that I was the heaviest at that moment in my entire life. It was a startling wake up call. I saw an ad on Facebook for Body & Soul Fitness and, to be honest, was very skeptical. I assumed all of those ads were scams and even if it was legit, I had not had luck in the past with weight loss programs. What would be different this time around? However, something struck a cord with me, so I decided to attend the orientation session for their 6 week 20 pound challenge. I was in awe with Trevor's passion and extensive research that he had done. Most importantly, I was surrounded by success stories. I realized that this man had developed a program that really could work for ANYONE. Everything that he incorporated into the fitness and nutrition components of the program has a strong evidence base to support its effectiveness. I felt very comfortable adopting these methods and empowered to make a positive change in my life. Six weeks later, I am now one of his latest success stories! I have so much gratitude for all of the staff and other members for their immense support during this challenge. I am incredibly proud of myself for finally putting me first and accomplishing this goal. I cannot wait to continue shedding the pounds and sticking with Body & Soul for many years to come. read more

Body & Soul Transformations - I lost 20.8 pounds and 5% body fat during the 6 week 20 pound challenge! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I had an incredibly positive experience with my first 6 week challenge. The workouts were challenging, but a great deal of fun. The trainers are awesome and those in my class that I had the pleasure to share this journey with were equally awesome. The environment is positive, supportive and truly motivating. The meal plan is quite basic (you eat clean for 6 weeks - basically a protein, veggie and fruit with each meal) and the exercise plan consists of 5, 1 hour group training sessions per week. I lost 26lbs in 6 weeks, but more than that I feel happier, healthier and more confident. You get out of it, what you put in. If you trust in and follow the process it really works. If you already know that you can't follow directions, are completely opposed to breaking a sweat and really don't like having fun (or feeling healthy) then perhaps this program isn't for you. If you are ready to kick start a healthy life style and be the best you - then like Nike says "just do it!" - Gina LaPlante read more

I am proud to say I have lost 22 pounds on the 6 week challenge! I have noticed a lot of changes from the way my clothes fit, to how healthy my skin feels, to just feeling GREAT! I no longer need cappuccino in the morning to get going, and I noticed that I do not have a lull mid day like I used to. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't always easy, and if my husband and I didn't do this together, I'm not positive I would have made it. But it was absolutely worth it! I am so proud of myself and completely thankful to all the staff and trainers. They are truly the backbone to this program, and without their motivation and encouragement, I wouldn't be where I am today! Big thanks to you all!

Plain and simple, The Transformation Center's 6 week 20 pound challenge works.  It is not an easy walk in the park, but if you follow the damn instructions (FTDI) you will see the results.  Not only will you see the results on the scale but in your life as well.  When I began the challenge 6 weeks ago I was tired all the time, didn't work out, and would not consider my diet to be very good.  Now I have more energy, even with working out five days a week.  I actually enjoy working out for the first time in my life and my diet is much better.  Some of the foods I used to enjoy now don't even look appetizing to me.  The non-scale victories are even more motivating to me.  First it was moving in the belt one notch.  Then going down a shirt size.  Then it was people starting to notice that I was losing weight, even when I couldn't see it.  The other day, I finally gave in and bought new pants for work, down 2 sizes!!  I feel better about myself than I have in years! I would honestly say that even if I hadn't lost the weight, the motivation and happiness that this program has brought me would totally have been worth it.  I clearly must like it, I just signed up for round two!  Time to begin another challenge, and lose even more weight, and gain even more!  This second challenge I am going to take body measurements as well to see how many inches I can lose!   ­­ read more

I did the 6weeks 20 pound challenge 1/4/16-2/13/16 and lost 26.4 pounds. Thrilled with the weight loss but also learned so much from this experience. The workouts are amazing, the trainers are all awesome, and the nutrition plan is easy to read. There is also a private group you join on Facebook that is so helpful and made some great new friends. Thank you Dr. Joe, Seton, Mike, Danny, and Nick for all the guidance and push to do a little more and also accommodate when needed. See you all in my second challenge in May! read more

Second chances...you only get so many in life; that's why I plan on taking full advantage of this one. I had success with Body & Soul fitness in the past (I lost 38 pounds!), then I stopped going, lost focus of my diet and found myself weighing the most at any time in my life. Not everyone's health/weight loss journey is linear, especially mine, it has more ups and downs than the Alps! So, I found myself tired, unable to run, bike or play with my granddaughter without being completely winded. I reached out to Trevor and asked if he'd be willing to give a second chance. Thankfully, they really do care about transforming lives and I was given another opportunity to get fit and change my life direction. It was time to take care of me...I just finished my six week challenge and was down 30.8 pounds and 3% body fat in just SIX weeks! I can't tell you the numerous hours I've spent in gyms on stationary bikes, treadmills, and elliptical machines. They got me nowhere fast-quite literally. I've never had a trainer in one of the gyms that knew my name, not one. At Body & Soul, ALL of the trainers (Joe, Seton, Nick, Tom, Matt) know your name after a workout or two; it makes you feel like your health is important to them too! That doesn't mean that they will take it easy on you. Be prepared to be challenged, encouraged and motivated more than you can imagine. Can't do a push up? Guess what, neither could I. But, there are different levels that everyone can do. As you became better, you can advance and challenge yourself with higher levels. At my very first class (and before every class), we begin with stretching and warmup. I was a mess, so much so, that sweat was pouring from my body after the WARM UP!! I was extremely disappointed in myself that I let myself go, but Seton offered some positive reinforcement for me and kept me focused on the future, not my past. B&S is not a place for social hour, but I've met so many great people here. Many of us are on the same journey and are working on devoting time every day to better themselves. Having a friend by your side to cheer you on or to inspire you to do your best makes all the difference. I highly recommend Body & soul fitness to anyone like me that want so much more in life and are not going to let bad health stop me from enjoying my family and friends. Take the 6 week. 20 pound challenge and get ready to be challenged in ways you never imagined. This isn't just a physical transformation; it's also mental. You'll need mind and body strength to re-learn your relationship with food and make it through some of the workouts! In the end, you may be cursing yourself, your trainers and anyone else in the immediate area, but once you scrape yourself off the floor, you'll feel really proud of what you just accomplished. I know I do! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - Down 30.8 pounds and 3% body fat in SIX weeks! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

My husband & I went to The Transformation Center consult night to sign up for a "free 6 week challenge". Walking in I didn't know what to expect, but I was willing to try anything to get stronger & healthier than I've ever been in my life. And I know nothing in life is free nor is getting healthy as simple as the press of an "easy button". Let me start by saying Trevor, the owner is very personable, honest, & a smart businessman with a great business plan. Ashley is lovely, she was able to answer all our questions and worked her way through the crowd to help everyone. She is a beautiful young woman & one lean machine! They are truly a motivating group! However, after being in a packed room of people with the same goal it was very disappointing to know you would be "chosen" to participate based on why you wanted to be part of the challenge and your ability to be able to work with Trevor personally. You will need an up front cost of $497.00 charged to your credit card to secure your free 6 week challenge. It's clearly how their business plan works for them to operate and I cannot fault them for their policy. The three people I do know that have finished and are in the process of finishing the challenge have done very well and they're on their journey to a better & healthy lifestyle. So you sign up, pay your fee, if you are chosen you will see your charge applied to your plastic card of choice. You go in, you work hard, consistency with the strict dietary guidelines and exercises are a must. You see if you work hard your money is returned to you at the end of 6 weeks. That's genius! You can then buy new clothes and sign up for additional transformation sessions. And Trevor has walking billboards! Win-win! I know if I am chosen to get into the January session I will be able to review this business again from a different point of view and raise them up to 5 stars. read more

Thank You Body and Soul Transformation ! I was not a fat kid. In fact I never struggled with my weight until later in life..menopause. I tried several different diets, personal trainers, I felt I was eating healthier and yet the weight just kept piling on. I was very depressed and self conscious about my weight. I heard about the 6 week 20lb challenge and thought why not. I'll give it a try. I was skeptical going in. What's the catch here? How good are these trainers? Do they really want me to succeed? Week one was an eye opener. The workouts were really hard and the trainers pushed me beyond what I thought my abilities were. The diet was even harder. As the weeks went on the workouts got easier and I was able to push myself even harder and I enjoyed it! My fellow challengers were great support emotionally and with food tips. I not only watched the scale go down but my body was definitely changing! I felt better, stronger and thinner! At the end of 6 weeks yes I lost 22.2 pounds but it's not what I lost but what I gained . I was empowered by this whole process. More self confident and determined that I will continue this journey of health and weight loss. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done and the most rewarding. I am so thankful to you all! Yes! This program works. Yes! The trainers are awesome and really care and want you to succeed! read more

To be honest, I was very skeptical of the 6 week program. I've known 5 people who have gone through the program prior to me. I did it because I was curious, I wanted to see if it was really worth all of the hype. Day 1 I was cautiously optimistic and FTDI (followed the damn instructions). After week 1, I was down 7 pounds. I was shocked, it gave me some momentum to keep going. I loved the workouts, loved being told what to do in the gym setting. I quickly bonded and became friends with other challengers, trainers, and other members. I truly felt like I was a part of the Body & Soul family! I had great success with this program, I would highly recommend it to anyone... Especially anyone who is a hard skeptic. I have nothing but great things to say about the program, I was honestly sad when it was over! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - Down 3.5% body fat in 6 weeks! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I was seeing the ad for the 6 week 20 pound weight loss challenge over and over in my FB newsfeed. I always overlooked it-20lbs in 6 weeks? Yeah right. Then I noticed a friend was doing and had to ask. She was losing weight! I was at a plateau in my weight loss journey so I decided to go to the orientation and check it out. After listening to Trevor, I was hooked. What he said made sense. Eat clean, work out, lose weight. This challenge was the best decision I've ever made. I loved the workouts. It wasn't easy, especially in the beginning when cravings were at their strongest, but I had my goals in mind. And I met both goals. I ran a half marathon, without any walking or breaks, AND I lost the 20 pounds! But the most amazing part was seeing that I lost 7% body fat! Tom and Nick are great trainers. They're always there to help you out and answer any questions. They truly care. Thank you, Body and Soul Transformation Center. I've learned so much in 6 weeks about myself, and about nutrition. I may not have 20 more pounds to do another challenge, but I'm not done yet! read more

Well I must say doing the 6 week Challenges was one of the most hectic, challenging things ive ever done in my life. It was also the most rewarding thing ive ever done! I started out doing this with my wife because we both realized our weight was getting out of control so change needed to happen. My wife happened to come across the challenge and pitched to me and I said sure it sounds like something at least worth checking out. So we went to the seminar and was blown away by the presentation. It was very moving seeing past challengers talk about their experience with the challenge and how its changed their lives. I to wanted to have that same feeling. So basically with the Challenge you pay $500 up front , and if you lose the 20 pounds in 6 weeks you get your money back. So basically you get free access to their gym and workouts 5 days a week, great advice, and a fast lane ticket to a healthy lifestyle all for free! All you have to do is follow the instructions, and you WILL succeed! I was so committed to this program not once through the 6 weeks did I have the urge to cheat whatsoever. The results proved this when I turned in a whopping 5% body fat loss to go along with 26 pounds! WOW! The workouts: A very important step in losing weight is being motivated and having fun with the workouts. I cant believe how fun and creative the workouts were! The trainers in Williamsville Nick and Tom did an amazing job of keeping everything fresh and I never dreaded showing up for a workout. I was always looking forward to it and now that the challenge is over, I miss it greatly! Both of the trainers have the perfect amount of sternness while also keeping things fun. I just want to give a big thank you to all of the staff at Body and Soul. Thanks to you I feel confident about myself again, and I have my health heading in the right direction! Who needs Drs. when all you need to do is eat healthy and it will cure most of the sicknesses we have. Speaking of the food that is one part of the program that I never got tired off. The food options were great and if you like making shakes, then you can do this! I will recommend the 6 week challenge to any of my friends that feel they need to lose weight because after experiencing it first hand and seeing how amazing the results are, why wouldn't I want everyone else to know about it. Its simple Follow the instructions, and you will succeed :) Thanks again read more

I saw a facebook friend's posts day after day that she was at the Transformation Center and I wondered just what sort of new age transforming she had gotten herself into. And then I saw her "after" picture. Amazing. I knew I needed to check it out and luckily there was an orientation in late August. Trevor started talking about what this program takes and I knew I was ready. I knew it was time to get that body back that I used to love. My pictures still blow me away. I have been going to the gym for years. I have never seen results in my body like this. I admit though, that in the last few years, I really was just going through the motions when I worked out. And I thought I was eating healthy. It turns out I just wasn't putting it together the right way. This program does that for you. All you have to do is follow the instructions. And plan ahead. There is so much support. I got to know the people who worked out next to me. I read through the posts in our facebook group every day. I looked forward to seeing Nick and Tom. Our workouts were hard, and I never left there feeling like I hadn't had a great workout. I didn't leave thinking I should have tried harder. They make you want to try harder. And it shows in all of our before and after pictures. I love looking and feeling like this! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - After 6 weeks - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

See all

I participated in the Transformation Center's 6 week weight loss program this past October-December. I first heard about this program when my best friend did it over the summer and lost over 20 pounds! I knew I could stick to the nutrition plan, but I was really concerned about the workouts. I have asthma and it is especially aggravated by intense activity. However, I found the large group training was not a problem. Don't get me wrong, it kicked my butt and there were a few times that I wanted to throw up when I left after a workout, but it didn't cause my lungs to give out on me. The trainers (Nick, Barrett, and Tom) were really helpful and didn't make me feel bad being on the lower difficulty levels of all the moves. At the same time, they didn't hesitate to push me when they saw I could handle a heavier amount of resistance. Because of my job, the only way I could get consistency in my workouts was to sign up for the 5:30am classes. While I am not missing my alarm going off at 4:45 every morning now that the challenge is over, I do miss starting the day off right with my workout. Within 6 weeks, I lost 28.2 pounds! This is the first program in over 10 years that I've actually stuck to and seen the results. I highly recommend the Transformation Center in Williamsville for anyone looking to lose weight, or just live a healthier lifestyle. Thank you!! read more

I came in with very low expectations. I've always been an old school, dirt floor, nothing but dumbbells, machines and plates type of gym rat. But a car accident a few years ago cause me to slip from my routine into a pretty significant tailspin until I hit (my opinion) rock bottom. In Feb 2014, I decided to make some drastic changes. I spent about 8 months working my way back on my own and while I had made significant progress, I thought I was time to call in some outside help. That's when I found Body and Soul Fitness. I didn't want to get stuck in some overcrowded, "cross-fit" class where all they did was teach you to grunt loud, flop around like a fish out of water and look like you were lifting something heavy. After going to an introduction seminar, I knew I found the right place. There was no sugar coating and no BS. Everything was laid out for you in a brutally honest manner. Classes were decent size, fit my schedule and are no nonsense. You are in an out in the allotted time, so downtime or distractions. Trainers Tom and Nick are very helpful and supportive. Plenty of tough love and encouragement every time I was in. So I just finished my first 6 Week 20LB challenge. Not sure if I did it right though.... I dropped 42Lbs and 6.4% body fat in 7 weeks (1 week was truncated for the November Storm and let's be honest, Thanksgiving week is a caloric s#!$show that not even the strongest person can avoid) :-) Based on the results, I've already signed up for a second @$$kicking and plenty of motivation to get back to being ripped. I still have my "regular" gym membership and use it almost daily to get BIG, but my sessions @ Body and Soul are there to get me STRONG. Highly recommended! Most of the people who have seen me after my first 6 weeks don't need to read a review. The proof is right in front of them. But seriously, who is going to pay for all of the alterations i need to make on all my Diesel Jeans??? no way those are going into the goodwill bin!!! read more

There is nothing negative I can say about this program. I am so surprised to see some of the negative comments. They cannot be any farther from the truth. I lost 21 pounds in 6 weeks. I have 4 kids and work full time. If I can do this so can you. The program is simple to follow. Trainers are motivating and help to accomplish your goals. Yes you are chosen for this challenge. They pick individuals that are ready to commit and not make excuses. So if you are ready to make a change, a life long change, this program is for you. read more

I'd like to thank everyone at Body and Soul for kick starting me back to a healthy way of life. I felt so out of shape 2 months ago I really didn't think I could make it through 6 weeks . It was a lot of work! But I did it and I lost 24 lbs and I feel so much better. The meal plan was easy to follow, it is hard to believe that the more you eat the more you lose. One big thing I learned is FTDI!! It really does work !! Thanks . read more

Body & Soul Transformations - 24.8 lbs in 6 weeks! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I sit here writing this with tears in my eyes. It's embarrassing to have to post these pictures. Here goes nothing. My whole life I struggled with my weight. I tried every fad diet out there and failed with all of them. I always acted happy and confident about myself but in the back of my head I knew I needed change in my life. I had hit my heaviest weight ever and was so upset with myself. Three of my dearest friends asked me to be in their weddings next year. I was honored but in the back of my head all I could think about was being the huge girl in all of their wedding photos. I told myself in had to do something about it. I first heard of the transformation center by body and soul through a couple friend's  who successfully completed the program. So I signed up. I thought 20lbs in 6 weeks there is no way I'm going to be able to do this. I figured I had tried everything else out there to try to loss weight why not give this a shot. I went into the challenge with doubts about not being able to follow it to the T. I was worried I wouldn't be able to do the workouts. But I promised myself I would give it my all. I kept thinking I don't want to be the fat briedmaid. I gave it my all! By the end of week 1 I was down 9lbs. I cried the second I got into my car after I weighed in for the first time. It worked! I followed the plan to the T  and it really worked! By the end of the 6 weeks I had lost 30.6 lbs!!!!!! The trainers at the transformation center by body and soul were amazing. They always explained the workouts and demonstrated it. If I ever had a question about a move or what to do they they never got annoyed they would always show or tell me again. Tom and Nick thank you for pushing me to MY limit. You guys taught me a lot about eating right and working out! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - 6 week 20lbs challenge!!! Lost 30.6 lbs during the challenge. It works! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

As a former health teacher, I have the knowledge of what I need to do in my life to remain healthy. However, I've allowed my emotions in the past few years to get the best of me. I was unhappy with my job which caused me to fall into what I would call a time of depression and self-loathing in my life. I had just gotten married to my amazing husband, who was very focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but I could not find the push I needed to get out of my "slump". I began to gain more and more weight by emotionally eating. When I felt bad, gross, disgusted...that was what I wanted to eat. I finally realized that I hated the person I saw in the mirror and my husband and a friend, who had completed the challenge, encouraged me to take the 20 pound 6 week Challenge at the Body and Soul Transformation Center in Williamsville. When I began the program, I loved the workouts! The trainers were so willing to help me push through the circuits and realize my true strength. The workouts seemed to fly by and I looked forward to them, and missed them on my rest days. The meal plan was easy...just follow the darn instructions!!!! Trevor has designed the program to be easy to follow with simple meals, water consumption, and logging everything in a journal that quickly became a necessity that I couldn't leave the house without. It was my lifeline! It told me when to eat, what to eat, and reminded me constantly WHY I was eating it. SUCCESS! There is no catch...Body and Soul Trainers want you to succeed. As a client, you are the best advertisement they can find! I lost 22 pounds and 7.8% body fat in 6 WEEKS! And all of the amazing stories on the website, now including my own, explain it all. You mix accountability with support and camaraderie between members...you have an unstoppable program. I highly recommend the program to anyone who has been yo-yo dieting, attempting to run the pounds off YOU NEED THIS PUSH! Take the challenge, and you will find physical and mental strength you never knew you had. THANK YOU BODY & SOUL FITNESS!!! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - 22lbs melted away at The Transformation Center! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I just finished my 6 week challenge and have to admit that I highly recommend the program. The meal plan was very clear as to what was allowed and not allowed for each meal. There were enough choices and variety to get through the 6 weeks, but most of all the changes made to my diet were seen on the scale immediately! The first week alone (when my body was in utter shock), I lost 7 pounds! From that moment on, there was no doubt in my mind that the program worked. In terms of the exercise plan, it is the most efficient 1 hour workout I have ever done. I used to work out regularly on my own prior to the challenge but the classes Body and Soul offer and high intensity workouts where I am performing a perfect mix of cardio and strength moves. The trainers are excellent, personable, and challenged me regularly to increase my weights in order to get stronger. Lastly, the overall atmosphere of the people at Body and Soul is so encouraging. We are all there for the same place and I have to say that I met some great friends along the way. If you are looking to drop some pounds or become leaner, Body and Soul is the place to go. I highly recommend you stop by, check it out, talk to the trainers, and get on your way to a fitter, leaner, healthier you! read more

I spent the first half of my life as a "skinny girl". I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight. I had a ton of energy, played sports, danced, and could lift the same amount of weight with my legs as some of the big and bulky football players I went to school with. In the summer of 1998, when I was about to turn 16, I became sick. The only "cure" for my strange ailments was to take heavy doses of prednisone, an oral steroid. I gained about 30 lbs over a 3 month span. I became depressed, sluggish, and lazy. My metabolism came to a screeching halt and it seemed like everything I ate made me gain 2 lbs. From that point forward, I became the girl who struggled with weight...someone I never thought I would be. For the past 16 years, I have been on and off of those same medications. My weight has been as low as 140 pounds and just recently spiked at 206 pounds. With carrying around 206 pounds came joint pain and muscle pain. I couldn't believe I had let myself go like that. I had tried numerous diets throughout the years; Weight Watchers, South beach, Juicing. I could never seem to stick to a workout regimen. I will be honest, I HATE WORKING OUT! I had hit a really low point and was about to have to go up another size in my clothes when I realized I had had ENOUGH! I was scrolling through Facebook and kept seeing ads for the Transformation Center and the 6 week, 20 lb. challenge. If you hit your goal of 20 lbs. and follow the instructions, you get your money back! WHAT?! Like most people, I was extremely skeptical...it seemed too good to be true. I went to the orientation to find out if this was for real. To my surprise and delight, it was real! I signed up that night...right then and there...no doubts in my mind that I was doing the right thing. Here I sit; a couple of months later, to tell you that it was one of the best decision for my health and well-being that I have ever made. I look forward to going to the Transformation Center for every session. The workouts are intense and challenging. The HIIT method of training is amazing. For anyone like me that gets bored during exercise, this is definitely the structure for you! The trainers know you by name, they help you with your form, and they push you to go further while always looking out for your safety first before pushing you. I could feel and see my body changing almost immediately. I have learned to love working out and eating clean. My body and soul DESERVE it and so does yours. I worked off 23 pounds in 6 weeks and I feel like a million bucks. The pain in my body is almost completely gone and I fit into pants I haven't put on in a year or more. I know this is just the beginning of my journey to fitness and health. I couldn't have done this without Nick, Tom, Trevor, and everyone at the Transformation Center. Thank you Body & Soul Fitness for changing my life! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - 6 weeks of HIIT training and clean eating! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I can't say enough positive things about the Body & Soul 6 week, 20 pound challenge. I had gained twenty-five unwanted pounds over the last year and knew I needed to shed the weight now or risk going down my family's standard path of constant, incremental weight gain. The 6 Week Challenge is exactly the type of program I needed. It brought out my inner athleticism - that I had neglected - at a simple and fun engagement level. As each week progressed our group workout sessions grew more difficult. I looked forward to each new workout and the challenge that it presented for me and my body. If you're a guy reading this review and you're thinking, "This looks like a weight loss program for women, I'm a man and I lift weights" you'd be dead wrong! The resistance bands, ropes, TRX bands, push ups and resistance based cardio will leave your muscles feeling pumped while melting away fat. After many years of working out with weights and participating in high school sports (wrestler) I'm now completely hooked on the Body & Soul workout program. I lost twenty-six pounds in six week; I'm thinner, stronger and more cut than I've been in years. The nutritional booklet (meal plans) are simple and easy to prepare. I followed the darn directions and made the commitment to stay away from grain based carbs while I was on the program, something I'm still doing now. I couldn't believe the difference in how I felt each day when I woke up. No more headaches, no more sore muscles in my back, my skin cleared up (something I've been struggling with since I was thirteen, I'm 36 now!) and of course the fat melted away. I was worried that following the meal plan 100% would be too expensive; that has not been the case at all. I've actually saved money by preparing five healthy, low fat and high protein meals each day. Since I stopped going out for lunch at the office and binging on burgers and fries when I got home from work I cut out a lot of unnecessary dining expenses and fat consumption. Did I mention how great I feel?! Now that I've finished the 20 pound challenge I've found that I want to stick with the meal planning I've been following for the last six weeks. I no longer crave bread, sugars or excessive salt. My body and my cravings have totally changed. I'll take a plate of fresh veggies, sweet potato and well seasoned white fish any day over a Big Mac. If there's one thing I'd most like to share with someone who's reading this review and contemplating joining Body & Soul Fitness it would be this; You don't need to be fifty pounds over weight to make a commitment to improve your body. Take control of your health now, before that slow, incremental weight gain takes control of you. I did it, and you can too! read more

The 6 week 20 pound challenge was just what I needed. I had become very lazy and not motivated. I would eat fast food everyday and not care. I had followed some workout programs and diets and had some success but I never stuck to it. My girlfriend and I signed up for the challenge because we needed a change. The workouts were challenging but fun. The trainers were great. The diet was difficult at first but once you get on track with it I started seeing great results. I completed the challenged on 2/14/15 and I lost a total of 37.4 pounds. I feel so much better now. Thank you so much Body and Soul Fitness. read more

Body & Soul Transformations - 37.8 pounds in 6 weeks! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I just completed the 6 week 20 pound weight loss challenge and am happy to announce that I lost 23lbs!!! I first heard about this challenge through a friend. With my upcoming wedding I thought it would be a great way to lose some weight before the big day! I had been slowly gaining weight over the last few years and not really doing much about it (other than talking about losing weight) so this was a great way to take charge of my body. When we first received the meal plan at orientation I was scared to say the least. I was most worried about giving up my favorite things (pizza and alcohol). The first day of the gym was great! The existing members are all really wonderful, and the trainers are very welcoming. The first week of workouts were rough and I had some difficulty walking around because my muscles were so sore. After the first week it seemed to get better and better. Now I look forward to working out because I feel so much better afterwards. This challenge made me realize all of the garbage that I was eating. It's amazing how a few weeks of clean eating changes how your entire body functions. I am so much more awake without drinking coffee. I feel amazing and I have so much energy now! My journey does not end with this challenge. This challenge has created a new me and I never want to go back! Thank you to all the trainers at Body & Soul for always pushing us and swapping out our weights. They always say "If you don't hate your trainer they aren't doing their job" and they are right! If you are thinking about doing this stop thinking and just do it! www.20pounds6weeks.com read more

Thanks to the 6 week 20 lbs challenge at the Transformation Center by Body & Soul Fitness, I was able to lose 68.8 lbs and 12.4% body fat in 12 weeks. I owe a great deal of my success to my wife who helped me plan my meals and prep my food as well as the trainers at the Transformation Center who pushed and motivated me during the workouts. When my wife and I started our transformation journey on January 5th, we went into that first challenge just wanting to lose 30 lbs each. Half way through our first challenge, we were hooked. We decided to complete a second challenge so we can meet our overall goal which for me was to weigh below 200 lbs. At the end of my second challenge, I weighed in at 189 lbs! The Transformation Center does just that. It has transformed the lives of my wife as well as myself. We now watch what we eat and always read product labels to see if there are too many calories, fat and/or sodium. My wife and I have also joined as members because it is a comfortable place to work out without being judged based on how you look. In addition, the trainers are very helpful and knowledgeable about the challenges of weight loss and can help you overcome them. They also do a great job at challenging yourself during the workouts by increasing the resistance or modifying workouts to suit any physical injuries you may have. Out of all the gyms, at home workout videos and nutrition based programs my wife and I have tried, the Transformation Center is the only place that has worked for us and has changed how we view food and exercise. www.20pounds6weeks.com read more

Body & Soul Transformations - Thank you Transformation Center by Body & Soul Fitness for helping me lose 68.8 lbs and 12.4% body fat in 12 weeks! - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

Today I shed lots of tears, tears of nervousness and tears of joy. I must have looked like a crazy person. 6 weeks ago, after seeing a few friends and family members complete the challenge, I decided to sign up. I remember getting weighed in a wondering how I was going to make it through the next 6 weeks. Well, today I am here to say that I made it! Body and Soul Transformations for me was just what I was looking for in a gym. I love the workouts and the style of the class. I loved the trainers and how they helped me through the sessions and pushed me to my limits. I loved that after I left there in the morning I was set for the day. I have never taken a class before where each and everyday was something new. Every time I walked in I was surprised at what type of equipment I was going to be using. Most times it was hard, but I kept pushing. The diet was even harder. I could easily see how eating clean was the answer to my eating habits and how I needed to change that. I now realize how important water is in my life. The Transformation Center is the best place to go. It is the perfect mix of great gym, great trainers, and great members. The trainers there are so willing to help you succeed no matter what you are looking to achieve. The members there are always willing to give you a smile or support when you feel like you are about to fail. And I can tell you from experience that I was crying after my 5:30am class as someone who I never had the chance to speak to before gave me a pep talk that I totally needed. And my fellow challengers and friends that I met along this journey at some of our lowest lows, made each and every workout worth it. Looking forward to the next step in the process!!! read more

After the first work out, I said "what the heck did I get myself into" and I thought there was no way I was going to be able to do this for six weeks. It was not an easy journey but I persevered with a LOT of encouragement and support from ALL the trainers and I lost 21.6 lbs in six weeks. Even though there were many of us in each class, Nick, Matt, Seton, Joe, Tom and Matt Jr. always managed to give each of us their personal attention. I would most certainly have done a 2nd challenge but time did not permit. I wholeheartedly, without any doubt whatsoever, highly recommend Body and Soul Transformation Center. They are absolutely committed to getting you into the best shape ever. Thank you Trevor Buccieri for the amazing opportunity. I couldn't have done it without you. Dorothy Gadley read more

I was at my lowest of lows, needing some kind of change. I was swaying back in forth on if I should get "The surgery" or give this a try. THANK GOD I picked this!! Walking thru those doors was the beginning of a new start for me. I never realized how far gone I was (emotionally / physically / mentally) until I started. I was able to put on a good front - smile - pretend everything was okay. This 6 week challenge gave me the jump start / kick in the pants I was needing. The juices started to flow, making me alive again!! I had the desire to live again - want something for ME - reminding me that I AM WORTH IT! I have been truly blessed to have worked with two amazing trainers: Joe and Seton during this new life journey. Their passion - knowledge - encouragement & compassion made this process worth it all. The guidance on nutrition took out all the guess work, making it possible. I looked forward to going daily, to release some stress and to keep reaching toward my goal. I can't rave enough about Body & Soul Transformations. Not only is my outward appearance showing transformation but my personality / energy level is back up and running!! THANK YOU again from the bottom of my heart Trevor for creating such a program like this!! THANK YOU everyone at the Williamsville location - I truly appreciate each of you!! read more

I lost 23.8 pounds in 6 weeks and couldn't be happier with my success. It was definitely a challenge at points, but I pushed through and "followed the damn instructions"! These past 6 weeks may have been hard, but they were so worth it to see these results and give me that push I needed. Thank you to the trainers who pushed me when I thought I was dying. I never knew I was capable of half of the things I accomplished throughout these 6 weeks, and am happy that I learned to push myself past what I thought was my breaking point. I would highly recommend the Transformation Center to anyone! read more

Wow!!! Where to find the words to describe what took place in 6 weeks... Let me try! Once upon a time there was a tiny lady who was about 110 pounds. She decided to have a child. After age gave birth, the child came out, 30 pounds stayed on! The same lady went on to have her second child...the same bonus stayed on her body. Do the math...this lady was now at almost 160pounds!!! Yep-that was me...until I walked into the body and soul transformation center in Williamsville, looked around, checked out the photos, saw the trainers working with so much energy and attention towards their clients---I was sold! With a day I made a commitment, and without telling anyone in my family I put my $500 down!!!!! What did I just do????? I finally made a commitment to myself--to what I eat, to when I eat, to making my body move!!! The best decision of my adult life! The trainers are amazing!!! They teach you, they hold your hand and lend a listening ear when needed, their advices are solid! You are working with professionals here! They know their stuff! Super motivating classes, awesome music---I never missed one class in 6 weeks!!!! Love them for making me find myself again...21 pounds lighter . Everyone owes it to themselves to take care of their own mind and body!!! And that is exactly what this place did for me!!!! From the bottom of my heart---THANK YOU!!! read more

Body & Soul Transformations - Before - Nutritionists Near Me - Williamsville, New York

See all

I have completed 2 6week challenges. I went into body and soul fitness hoping i had found somewhere that was honest and cared about weightloss and health and not just about money. The challenge being to loose 20 pounds AND end below 50 pounds of body fat. Yes, i lost 25pounds my first challenge and only 6 more the second. The weightloss is not my concern it is the attitude and overall program which I, and many others felt the same about. I will start with. During my initial meeting about the program i asked several questions, my main concern being if this was just another 'quick fix diet'. The response was that no they do not cut any food out they dont want people 'yo-yo ing', except for limitimg cerrain foods your diet will be mainly portion control. I will say it was the most strict diet, with you mainly eating fruit. My first challenge i was extremely exhausted. Not even physically from workouts, but mentally. Feeling dizzy and dazed at work and feeling like i could fall asleep at the drop of a hat. (Everyone in the facebook group said it was your body 'detoxing') When i brought this concern up to a trainer as well as the owner. I was told i just wasnt eating enough fruit. To just eat more fruit. Well, that answer didnt sit well with me. I consulted my primary care physician, my GI doctor, and 2 registered dieticians. They all told me the same thing. I was eating too much fruit. That my bloodsugar was spiking up and dropping too much. I explained the diet to every one of them and they also all said that its just a quick fix, it will be gained back and difficult to keep the tge weight off. One of the most restricted diets They have seen. When i brought this matter up to the Owner (Trevor) His response was flooring. That i shouldnt be asking others, that i need to just trust their program. And that doctors dont know what they're talkimg about when it comes to nutrition becasue they do not even take one nutrition courses during they're schooling. However, i have not found any credentials for him showing his nutritionist knowledge. I should have known it was too good to be truem but that's how they get you. They promise results, properly and in a healthy way, talk in circles while explaining things so that you hear the same thing over and over again. My next major issue was how they determine body fat. Which turns this whole program into the biggest scam. There are no measurements taken. Not with calipers nor measuring tape. But with handheld body fat analyzers (bioelectrical impendence test) The way these work is. You enter your height, weight, age, and gender. Grip with both hands and it will tell your body fat %. These numbers shown will fluctuate based on hydration. There for the more your body is hydrated the less the number. The less you are hydrated the lower the number. So you drink less water for your final weigh in to make the scale go dow , but you need that water to make the body fat go down? As well as, the tightness of your grip will change the number along with the height you are holding it at. - I taked to trainers about them and they, to my face, told me they arent accurate. When i brought this concern to the owner anf manager i was given a run around and a copy and pasted answer on why they use them. Of you start asking too many questions, with concerns on how to get your money back then you will get a long winded phone call from the owner talking in a circle. Saying just have faith, believe in the program. The only pro comment i have is the workouts were great. Always switched up and fast pased. Although, they trainers did not all afree on form. One would say one thing and another would say another. Towards the end during my last week, i over heard 2 trainers talking and one was saying how he cant believe how much fruit we are eating. That if we are hungry between meals, we shouldn't be eating fruit it should be other things. And that the diet goes against everything he has ever learned. Finally, my last week on the challenge. The scheduling app would no longer allow me to schedule workouts. I emailed the club and wa told they would schedule them for me. Well, they never did. Therefore i was unable to complete all 30 workouts. I hope future challengers do their research on this program before they commit. There is alot of unprovided information prior to signing your contract and paying your money. Unfortunately, in order to recieve your money back you are required to write a review which is why there are so many positive reviews. Would you right a negative review if you wanted your $600 back? read more

Two years later it seems that things with the weight loss challenge haven't gotten much better. I'm still part of the Facebook group, and the things I see on there are downright scary. There are additional fasts, dehydration techniques prior to weigh in, requirements to buy their supplements, with detox pills and fat burners, protein powders. People, as someone who works in the medical field, I cannot begin to stress to you how unhealthy and DANGEROUS this is. This isn't sustainable. They've now made it more difficult to earn your money back while finding new ways to get more money from you with their "branded" products. Instead of just losing 20 pounds, you're now required to meet a fat percentage to get your money back. If you don't meet the fat percentage, you have to take another challenge. What they don't tell you is that your body eventually plateaus, as it does with any weight loss, because your metabolism needs to recalibrate. When you plateau, usually on your second or third challenge, you won't lose the 20 pounds and won't earn your money back. Please think long and hard before signing up for this challenge. I still love the workouts and think that they're great but this weight loss challenge leaves a lot to be desired! read more
