Best gym I've ever been to! Great workouts, weights, boxing bags & self propelled treadmills. DJ's are often playing tunes during the whole workout. It's a great way to get into shape and or increase strength or increase longer runs. Highly recommend for a unique workout/training session. read more

Wow!!! What an awesome work out! Jarrell was sooo helpful and very much knew how to lead a class!! I love the reps and rounds he put together. I HATED THE BURN BUT I LOVE THE RESULTS read more

Took Me a while to do this review but I have been attending BodyRoc now for a year and I need to tell you I love it!! This is the most consistent I have ever been going to the gym and working out 4-5 days a week.I must say I have found my home! I always just joined gyms for the 6-8 week challenges they had and I would never return. But looks like Body Roc has changed me. I Love our everyday workouts. We have a mixture of treadmill , boxing and strength training. Music keeps me going. Always a great playlist that has me focused and makes me want to dance. Also, the instructors are all amazing , guiding you every step of the way and challenging you ! Always with Positive attitudes! Great Vibes at BodyRoc! read more

First time trying this class and it was so intense and great. The gym is super cool with all equipments. This is a circuit based class with a mix of treadmill, boxing and weights. read more

BodyRoc FitLab - Boot Camps Near Me - West Hartford, Connecticut

As a proud member of the ROC SQUAD, I am very late posting this review. I've been working out at BodyRoc since 2017, and loving it every step of the way. The trainers and their energy is what pulls you in, and the challenging but fun workouts that yield results is what keeps you. BodyRoc is truly a community, the camaraderie goes a long way in helping you reach your goals. You will always have someone saying hi to you, and the trainers are there to encourage you and make things fun along the way. The workout consists of strength, running and boxing. With the new location in West Hartford, the classes have become much more varied with new equipment like rowing machines, squat rack and TRX. The workouts are tough, but stick with it and you'll fall in love with the feeling of pushing yourself. If high energy, fun vibes, with a work hard mindset is what you are looking for, then BodyRoc is the place for you! read more

BodyRoc FitLab - Boot Camps Near Me - West Hartford, Connecticut

Where do I begin... Bodyroc has changed my life!! I've never had a good relationship with working out until I started coming here. I used to hate going to the gym and would come up with every excuse in the book not to go. Now I get upset if I miss even a day at BodyRoc! The trainers here truly want to see you prosper. The music and energy in "the lab" just can't be replicated. When I joined back in February I was the heaviest I've been my whole life. Within the first 2 1/2 months I lost 20 lbs and I've never felt better! Highly recommend this place to EVERYONE. There's no place like BodyRoc! read more

Remember playing Super Mario Brothers? When Mario or Luigi got a ONE-UP they went from puny weaklings to pumped up Adonis'. Consider BodyRoc the ONE-UP to your mundane, puny workout! They absolutely have a wonderful concept going here and I'm only sad that their not closer to New Haven. The workouts are High-intensity interval training (HIIT) style; but what really gets you moving is the pairing of uptempo tunes with a nightclub-ish vibe (DJ included, ONE-UP). I had the pleasure of experiencing the 'BodyRoc' class, a 50 minute workout geared at fat-burning and muscle building. Throughout the class every single muscle in my body was engaged, truly a whole body workout. We started out with cardio, sprint and jogging intervals on their manual treadmill (self-powered, meaning you have to work for EVERY stride, ONE-UP). Next we moved into the strength training series featuring a combination of grueling weighted and floor exercises. I'm bored easily and believe me there was no chance of that here. Shaun, the owner and instructor, wasn't letting anyone slack! He was constantly moving around the class, motivating you to give your all, correcting posture, and adding lighthearted banter to the mix. The energy in the room was awesome, even though we were all pushing to the limit, the group dynamic keeps you accountable (no half-steppin' over here, ONE-UP). The boxing portion of the workout was easily my favorite. Using a heavy pushing bag and boxing gloves we jabbed, upper cut and crossed our hearts out in sync with the music. Talk about therapy! Pent-up energy released all while rocking out to your favorite beats (grooving and working that body, ONE-UP). Seriously, I have tried many a gym and workout regimen in my day and this one is like no other in the area. I was so pleased, that I signed up for another class even though I live 40 minutes away. Don't even give it a second thought! The ONE-UP experience is worth it! read more

Ive been to about 10 classes at body roc and overall is an awesome workout! It reminds me a lot of a NYC and la based boxing class i used to take, but right here in CT. I would however, like to see more ab workouts. Being under the red lights with the loud music is super motivating! I will keep coming back read more

If you told me a couple months ago that I would regularly be working out 4-6 times a week in the mornings, I would have laughed in your face. In the last couple of years, exercise has been something I knew I should do but could never make time for. I especially hated cardio, and running was only something I did in my nightmares. When a friend of mine introduced me to BodyRoc, I figured I might as well since the first class is free (use code ROCYOURBODY). Now I'm celebrating my three-month anniversary with this review and have just committed to a six-month membership! BodyRoc is the fitness baby of founder, owner, and Hartford native Shaun Chambers, who is down-to-earth and has a body that's literally #goals (not creepy, just objectively true). If I ever win the lottery, I'm hiring him to be my personal trainer. What they, and the number of awards BodyRoc has won, say is true - it's the most entertaining workout that you can think up! Between the motivating staff team, the flattering club-like lighting, and the pumping beats that drown out everything so you can stay in the zone, you'll get out of these classes what you put in. The high-intensity style classes are also perfect to squeeze into a busy schedule. Each day of the week is designed to work out a different area of the body. Most days involve alternating between two rounds on the TrueForm treadmills (which are self-powered and encourage better running form), a round of strength training, and a round of heavy bag boxing. What I love about the workouts is that you can customize everything, whether it's how hard you're running to how much weight you're lifting. The BodyRoc experience is something you can jump into no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I will say that I was skeptical about whether the cost would be worth it. I now see it as a health investment - because I'd rather be paying for my monthly membership now than for medicine or hospital bills later! Even though it's more pricey than an ordinary gym membership, I exercise more often, my workouts are well-rounded, I've started seeing the tangible results (three months and my Asian noodle arms are slightly more al dente), and best of all, I have fun and look forward to working out. Some things to keep in mind: - They have an online sign-up system, which makes enrolling in classes easy. Don't wait too long though because they fill up fast! - They provide sweat towels and boxing gloves for free, as well as yoga mats that are a must for any ab work (free for monthly members, $2 if you're a session passholder). - Follow them on social media to keep up with the latest news and for the occasional special deal. - They have a referral program, where you can get a $20 credit for every friend who signs up. - Give back with your workout - check-in on Facebook every time you go because they support a different nonprofit every month. read more

BodyRoc makes working out and getting healthy fun again. Shaun has an infectious energy and passes those vibes on to everyone that comes into his gym. New and old gym goers are welcomed in with the same warm welcome. You're running/boxing/lifting under the dark red lights and moving to the beat of a live DJ. It doesn't get any better than this. If you want a workout like no other or you're getting tired of your old routine check this place out! You won't look back. If you want to start your success story you're looking at the right place! read more

I have been to BodyRoc for 4 classes now and I have to say that I leave every class feeling tired, sore, and AWESOME! Each class of the week focuses on a different muscle group. Last night's class - Butt and Legs - consisted of rotations of treadmill, weights (squats/lunges), and boxing. I can tell you that the class lived up to its name and kicked my butt! Shaun, the trainer for each class, is the best! He pushes everyone to go beyond what they thought was possible to reach that next level, but in the most positive and motivating way possible. I've never gotten so many high-fives while working out before, but I can honestly say that I love it, haha. Other things to note: *The treadmills are not your average treadmills. There is no motor - you propel them with your own effort. That makes them harder than your average treadmill workout! *I was nervous about the boxing, but this part of the class is AMAZING. It doesn't even feel like you are working out, because it is so fun and such a stress reliever! I wish there was more boxing because it's the funnest part of the class! *The parking lot is a little bit small and definitely very dark, so bring a friend! So, in short, if you haven't figured it out by now, I am pretty sure I love Bodyroc and will definitely try to make it part of my weekly workout routine going forward. read more

This is an awesome fitness studio!! The workout is intense - perfect for people who like HIIT style training. The lighting and music are great, and the trainers come up with different workouts each time you take their classes, so it's not predictable. The people who work there are friendly and you can go as often as you like. They sell individual classes and unlimited packages. I am so happy we found this place!! read more

Good energy? Check. Great playlist? Check. Challenging physical practice? CHECK! An "Intense circuit-style interval workout combining weight training, treadmills, and heavy bag boxing" -- this is not your average workout. Low-lighting, imagine dance-club vibe; high-intensity playlists, hip-hop, house/dance, pump-up music!; lots of cardio! I most recently went to a "ROC HARD ABS" class. It was equal parts fun, intense, and demanding. The interval training was arranged and organized in a manner in which I got my ass KICKED. You are your own boss/trainer, so the classes are only as hard as you push yourself. With that said, Shaun is very helpful in training, pushing, and carrying you throughout the class. Walk-ins are welcome and priced at $20. There are also several class cards to fit different budgets/schedules Technical Deets: - 10 heavy punching bags - 10 powerless, button-less treadmills (really cool - YOU are the motor) - free weights, medicine balls read more

Love, love, love this place!!! I don't think I've ever been this excited to go to the gym. And my motivation to get through class is for the peanut butter and chocolate protein shack!! Legit, amazing. The format of the class is a round of cardio, strength training, more cardio and boxing! It is an absolute blast and the fastest 50 minutes at the gym. The boxing part is such a great stress reliever. The staff is super welcoming and incredibly helpful. Shaun, the owner, is phenomenal!!! Words cannot describe how awesome he is at his job and an inspiration to anyone who wants to start their own business. Piece of advice: if you plan on going a lot and consistently, get the unlimited package per month. You get a free protein shack after every class...totally worth it! I've made the mistake of not going unlimited and went with the 20 passes and I'm secretly regretting it every time I pay $6 for that protein shack. read more

BodyRoc has completely changed my life. I started my fitness journey with Shaun a little over a year ago and I've lost over 55 pounds! I feel better than I ever have before! Boxing is what keeps me motivated, I love it and with Shaun it's not the same old boring gym with a treadmill. He motivates me and supports me the whole way through, not to mention working out to a LIVE DJ spinning is so awesome! I will definitely be attending more FitLab classes to continue my fitness journey with Shaun! #BodyRoc read more

I very recently moved to the Hartford area, and I'm still looking for things to do, so when I saw a Groupon for BodyRoc I decided to give it a shot. I went to my first class tonight and it was really fun. It's a tough workout for sure (and the more you push yourself the harder it is and the more you get out of it, of course!) but it was pretty fun. Things are done as kind of circuits so you're running, lifting weights, or boxing depending on the circuit. When class ended I thought to myself, "There was no way that was 50 minutes! It felt like 30 tops," but when I checked the time, sure enough a full 50 minutes had gone by. And pretty much the best thing you can say about a workout was that it seemed shorter than it actually was. Lots of great energy here, check it out. read more

All of the Body Roc trainers are awesome and motivate you to do your best. I have been attending Body Roc classes for over 2 years and it is the most motivating workout which I have ever attended. Love the music. You get stronger each week and the fat melts away while you get more toned. read more

I love this place- I originally started with a groupon, and since have bought sessions. The only reason I didn't buy a membership yet is I am still on contract at another gym. I have never sweat in a workout class like I do here. Ive taken classes with each of the trainers & I love them all. The owner, Shawn is so friendly and an amazing trainer. I am a runner, and every class challenges me every time. I have found that I focus better here than I do at other gyms because of the music, the lighting, and the trainers. There's so much going on that you don't have time to think about anything else other than your workout & I love that. read more

I met Shaun the owner of BodyRoc over the summer while he was offering the BodyRoc Experience minus the gym space because he was under construction.. even without a gym space he can lead a group to have a kick-ass FUN workout!!! Let me tell you, this man has made a HUGE impact in my training and work out life. Additionally he's a kind, thoughtful, encouraging and POSITIVE energy trainer. I've been to a myriad of gyms (CrossFit boxes) and let me tell you - Shaun has IT. Since his grand opening this past fall I'm at BodyRoc at least twice a week - honestly, the interval training with cardio, weights, cardio and then boxing has been a game changer for my body, my energy levels and my personal attitude. It's hard work. There's no doubt about it, but Shaun has just the right amount of energy to help push you without being aggressive, or mean. He knows everyone's name, knows everyone's boundaries and even has a killer laugh when he says "Naa, Kate, gab the 15s girl"... he wants you to succeed... and in this world that's a rarity. I HIGHLY recommend BodyRoc to everyone ... and as a yogi, this is the ying to my yang. I need the cardio, I need the specific weight training outlined and I NEED the time to hit the heavy bag (also my favorite part). If you're on the fence about checking this space out, get off of it and get inside the BodyRoc Lab. I promise it will be the best sweaty 50 minutes of your day - it is for me! read more

Best decision I've ever made! Bodyroc is more than just a place to workout, it's an experience! The trainers keep you motivated and the environment as a whole gets you in the zone. There's no such thing as giving up when your at bodyroc. We all support and motivate eachother to reach our goals and create new ones to demolish. And you'll never know what to expect, it's never a boring workout at bodyroc! read more

Five stars doesn't seem like enough! When you join BODYROC FIT LAB you aren't just joining a gym...you are joining an amazing group of people, both trainers and members alike, all of whom provide support, guidance and friendship along your fitness journey. The owner Shaun Chambers is heavily invested in his members' success and have assembled a phenomenal team of trainers, all of whom truly care about their clients. I have been going to BODYROC for about 3 months now and have made huge progress towards my goals, and I owe it all to the BODYROC FAMILY. Don't hesitate...join as soon as possible and become a part of something that will change your life. BODYROC WELL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE HOME YOU DON'T NOT WANT TO LEAVE AFTER YOUR CLASS COME CHECK THEM OUT.. read more

I have been going to BodyRoc for almost 2 months now and I love it! I'm a huge fan of a boxing workout and I love that I can get cardio, weight training and boxing in one class. Working out with the red lights and music on puts you in your own zone to focus and get the workout done! If you haven't had the chance of getting there, make it #1 on your to-do list!!! Job well done Shaun and the whole BodyRoc team!! read more

I have battled with my weight all my life!! After discovering BodyRoc, I know my life will never be the same! I love the dark room with red lighting, which makes you feel extremely comfortable and focused. In addition, I have bad knees and am able to get an intense workout and not damage my body. The energy that The BodyRoc experience leaves you with, is absolutely infectious!!! read more

I have been going to BODYROC for about one month thanks to one of my good friends. And I cannot express how much working out here has changed my life. I am motivated every day to get a workout in early, late, rain, or shine. Shaun has created an atmosphere like no other gym. Strangers become friends and working out becomes a party. I'm very thankful to have come here and now work towards my goals with the BODYROC team. read more

I have attended two Total BodyRoc sessions with Shaun. Although I am drenched in sweat and basically crying during the workout they are amazing! The class combines cardio, weight lifting, and boxing. My favorite part is the live DJ. The music is great and really keeps you going. Shaun is very talented and gifted at what he does. My recommendation is to register for classes early because they fill up quickly. read more

Love this place !!!! Very entertaining workout and great knowledgeable trainers.

I've been looking for an affordable, intense workout in west Hartford for over a year. Body Roc is just what I needed. The red lights create a really focused zone and the music keep things fun while pushing you through the circuit training. The real centerpiece is the instructor, Shaun. You can tell he practices everything he preaches and believes in his brand. Also, he's super nice. Every tough class ends with a high five of encouragement from him. I've already bought 3 friends here and all 3 purchased classes. Nuff said. (they make bomb smoothies too) read more

I have tried several gyms and training sessions but none of them compare to BodyRoc. BodyRoc has some of the best trainers in the business. The owner and CEO, Shaun Chambers is one of the most motivational and uplifting trainers I have ever met and the concept of the lab is like no other. Where else do you get a live DJ, lighting and a great group of people motivated and inspired to reach their goals? The welcome staff is always available to answer questions and are extremely friendly and helpful. I am very thankful that I have found this gym and highly recommend that everyone try out a class. read more

Hands down the best place to workout! Shaun and his crew are the most motivating and inspiring people in the business. After your first class you'll leave sore but I guarantee you'll be hooked. You'll end up pushing yourself to limits you didn't even know you had with the BodyRoc family by your side. Do yourself a favor and join, I promise you wont regret it! read more

I really liked it! As someone who was brand new and in decent-but-not great shape, I got a great orientation. I was encouraged and helped, but not urged to push myself too hard. An amazing workout! read more

Joining bodyroc was the best decision of my life. Fitness has always been a major part of my daily routine, but I was in the market for something to take my fitness to the next level. That's when I joined bodyroc. I am so grateful for the challenge and the trainers that push me every class. The members have created and even more amazing sense of comradery, better than I have ever experienced in any other gym. Thank you all! read more

This place is unique and gives the boot camp style classes a twist with added boxing and live music. I have a busy work schedule and they have super early and late sessions that fits in with most schedules. The classes are the right size and for folks like me who have a unpredictable work schedule, they have a class pack option in addition to the monthly option. They are competitively priced (if a bit on the higher side) and a worthy option among the dozen or so gyms on New Park Ave. Word of advice, book early if you want the coveted Knockout and total bodyroc classes! read more

I literally got a Yelp account to write this review of Body Roc. I've been going once a week for the last 6 weeks and it's made a massive impact on my health and wellness. As other reviews mentioned, the HIIT style of the workout and the boxing part really make this better than your average gym. And I love the DJ! Definitely check it out and give it a try, you won't regret it!!! read more

Bodyroc deserves 5 out of 5 stars without question!! Bodyroc is unlike any other gym I've ever been to. Bodyroc's atmosphere is unique in a way that you get to workout under black lights along with a DJ, and with the most motivational trainers out there. If you join Bodyroc, not only will you have the advantage of the best trainers but also you become part of a community that supports and encourages one another. Shaun Chambers the owner and one of the outstanding trainers. He is invested in every single member that walks through the doors (as they all are). All the trainers help you work towards and achieve your goals. I've been going to bodyroc for the last year and a half and thanks to bodyroc I no longer need to have a new years resolution of going to the gym, because after joining I've never stopped and I am in the best shape I've ever been in. JOIN BODYROC!!! read more

This is the BEST gym experience I've had in Connecticut. As a seasoned exerciser, I've tried everything in this area. BodyRoc is both incredibly motivating and aesthetically pleasing. I love that I can get a superb work out all while being surrounded by state of the art equipment and a super clean studio. Shaun, the owner and coach, greets me with a huge smile each morning and continues this positivity throughout the workout. In addition to the coaching, the upbeat playlist ensures that I keep up my momentum. I love this gym and would urge anyone who is in need of an AWESOME work out to try it out! I can guarantee you'll love it as much as I do. read more

I started BodyRoc when they first opened and had a Groupon deal. I figured it was close to my house so why not. What I didn't expect was how much I would love it. As a former gymnast I have always loved working out, but as I reached my mid 20's I realized my body wasn't responding to my workouts like it use to so I knew I had to change it up. After getting my @$$ kicked in the first class I knew this place was for me and that it would work while keeping me engaged and challenged. Once my Groupon was over I knew I had to get the monthly unlimited package. While it seems like a good chunk of change up front I was quickly able to reason that my previous personal trainer charged $180/month for (4) 45-minute sessions. I go 4+ times a week now and feel like I've accomplished way more in 1 BodyRoc session than I did in 1 personal training session and I don't have to work out alone the other days of the week. The class is comprised of 4 parts; typically 2 cardio (intervals on a self-propelled treadmill), 1 strength training & 1 boxing, some days are double strength and have no boxing. Not only does this format get your heart rate up but your metabolic rate up as well so you will continue to burn calories well after you're done working out. The staff at BodyRoc is absolutely amazing and genuinely cares for all their members. I have a lot of joint issues due to my former days as a gymnast and the trainers are great at pushing me, but also working with me when my body is acting up. All staff takes the time to learn every person's name and greets them the second they walk in the door. The energy is also great throughout each class, trainers are pushing you, music is going and you have a group of people around you for support. I leave every class feeling like I accomplished something great that day. Since going, my energy levels have been great and my stress has been significantly reduced. I highly recommend anyone try a class (the first one is free!). Whether your goals are weight loss, training or just toning up, this place is perfect for you! read more

Bodyroc is the first workout that has gotten me to stick with working out in 10 years. I've tried countless classes, gyms, videos and even a personal trainer and Bodyroc has finally helped me stick with it and get in shape by providing a workout that keeps me challenged, motivated and most importantly interested! The owner Sean has created an incredibly fun, energizing and welcoming environment that almost feels as if being a part of a team. And the workouts - comprised of circuit type weights and cardio exercises - are so well constructed that I find myself done with the workout before I even have time to think of being bored or too tired to continue. I can't say enough good things about this place or the staff. If you want to get in shape and need a little push Bodyroc will get you there. read more
