My previous comments still stand. I never thought I'd still be coming here (well over a year since…read moreI started), but it's a testament to my trainer, Christine, and her skills, encouragement and professionalism. She keeps my workouts fun and interesting. I would give her six stars. Why should you come here? Because it's cheaper than seeing a psychiatrist. Haha. No really, I feel so much better after a session! All the stress of the work day melts away and I get some "me" time. I will tell you that over time I can see the way my body has changed: more defined shoulders, higher/firmer butt and leaner legs. Their location on Ellis is closer to work, so I can walk there, which is good, because the parking lot is small. The huge plate glass window in the front sometimes feels like a fishbowl. Still feels a little claustrophobic when multiple trainers are there with their students, like "don't go too far back," so I'm sticking with 4 stars.

Considering personal training?…read more Option A: go to a $19.99/month (or less) gym and have an intimidatingly strong trainer teach you how to pick up and put down weights for "free", then ignore you until your next "free" session 29 days later. Option B: go to Bell's Bodies, pay more money, and have extremely dedicated, personable, intelligent, healthy, motivational, experienced trainers provide you with customized sessions that WILL help you achieve/exceed your goals. Bell's Bodies is more than a building filled with trainers, clients, and exercise equipment. It's a lifestyle, a community, a source of support, a place where lives are transformed!

Bodyblast personal training…read more I have been with the gym for about 3weeks. The gym experience, all around has been great. The Coaches and trainer have taken the time to explain and guide you at every step. The gym availability is great for busy people.I would recommend any one who needs to make a life change and the accountability aspect to come see them. They are all so warm and welcoming.

I signed up for BodyBlast twice when it was housed in Weston Fitness, and both times I had a…read morefantastic experience. The program includes nutrition counseling, a meal plan, and personal training, all tailored to specific goals. From what I've seen of other programs, BB is unique in that at no point will you be told, "You're a female, so you shouldn't ____," and the training is not All BOSU All The Time. There's some real weight, valuable weight training from trainers who have actually studied how the body works and didn't just download a certificate from the internet. My first time with BB, because I was interested in fat loss I was given a high protein-low carb diet, and because I was interested in limiting my intake of animal protein Stephen offered a modified vegan plan. Then I was matched with a trainer who made me feel 100% comfortable as a gym newbie, and who showed me a lot of useful exercises including how to properly perform a squat. He also let me know plenty of times that it was OK if I had one cheat meal per week and didn't lecture when I told him it was pizza. I didn't start seeing real results until much later in that year, when I was long off the official program and began treatment for hypothyroidism and PCOS, but I took what I learned from them - especially the importance of form - and it changed my body in surprising ways. I was the fat kid growing up, so to be told I "looked athletic" and "looked like I worked out" was shocking. A couple of years later, I decided I wanted to start lifting heavy and went back for more. This time, I told Stephen I wanted to learn deadlifts and barbell squats, and he immediately pointed to a trainer who was excited about training a girl to lift heavy things. This trainer showed me a lot of good strength exercises, got me on a 5x5 program, and maniacally laughed as he loaded up weights for me. I saw incredible results in a short time - both in strength gain and fat loss. For a number of reasons that have nothing to do with BB, I've had a tough time maintaining a routine for a couple of years, but I'm back in action these days and still keeping in mind the things that BB taught me: lift heavy, lift properly, eat protein, watch the carbs, keep it up. I may not be a stunning before and after montage - and I may never be - but this program truly did change my life.
