I've been training with Anthony for 8 years and sometimes train with Mike or John who are equally as focused and dedicated to planning and leading me to strength and fitness in the safest, most effective way according to my personal abilities. Smart Bodies has been there for me to get me strong again during and after 2 years of chemo and were my team to keep my vision on not only staying strong but getting stronger. When I had doubts that I could reach my weight and fitness goals, those doubts disappeared each time I walked into Smart Bodies and received consistent dedicated personal training, every single time. I also learned that every client can learn to stay strong with whatever setbacks they have. The trainers know how to modify training sessions for individuals at all levels of fitness. I've reached beyond my original goals and appreciate the positive Smart Bodies family vibe. It really is possible to work hard and have fun at the same time! read more

I've been going to Smart Bodies for five years, and in that time I've lost 69 pounds--56 of which were fat. I still go regularly, along with following some nutrition guidance and doing personal work, and I honestly couldn't be more positive about my experience. I hate working out. I hate physical activity. Yet I genuinely look forward to going to Smart Bodies. The people are wonderful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and I never feel judged. Everything is tailored to what I need. I can walk in, tell the trainer a practical goal--like being able to lift my luggage into an overhead compartment or hiking a mile--and they build a program specifically to help me achieve it. Smart Bodies has made fitness feel approachable and achievable, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. read more

Smart Bodies Personal Training Center - Gyms Near Me - Marlton, New Jersey

See all

Comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Trainers I have worked with are so nice and helpful.

After bad experiences at my previous gym, it's refreshing to finally be at a place where I'm exercising productively and efficiently. Before starting your training, Anthony (the owner) gives a full body assessment and takes info about your lifestyle, nutrition and medical history. He does the dreaded caliper body fast assessment too (those are the worst!), and you get a printed report of your total body fat vs. lean body mass, your basal metabolic rate and where you fall in body fat range. I was disappointed to see I'm above the range where I should be for body fat but it was good to know that for two reasons: 1. I'll be able to track how much body fat I actually lose and 2. my old gym did NONE of this and just used their "personal training sessions" as a way to sell you additional services. I never felt like I was actually getting a good workout there. But at Smart Bodies, I feel like I'm never just going through the motions. Every single workout is a challenge and I'm sweating like a pig by a few minutes in. Depending on the day or time, I go to two different trainers, either Anthony or Jeff. For 30 minutes they lead me through a full-body cardio and strength training workout. If you go around 6 or 6:30 p.m. the gym will be packed though, so be sure to ask what times have one-on-one sessions rather than partner sessions if you want more individual attention. Workouts are personalized to my level and always different, but never easy. The exercises aren't something I'm used to either; they're always targeting muscles in ways that I don't normally do on my own and tweaked to work more muscle groups than just one -- like doing a Warrior 3 type yoga pose while also doing tricep kickbacks with one arm, or standing on a BOSU while squatting and doing arm exercises. The TRX suspension system is also used a lot. If you're on a budget, the session packages can get a bit pricey, but it's a way more efficient workout than just going to a gym, in my opinion. Pairing two days a week here with my normal running and yoga has made a huge difference as I train for the Broad Street Run. I'm just happy to have found a gym that isn't trying to rip me off and isn't staffed by bored exercise science majors -- what a concept! read more

Anthony tailors workouts to your specific needs, abilities, and expected final results. I have been a client for 9+ years, and for me to have that long of a "relationship" with a gym says a lot. Working out never gets boring or the feeling of a chore. All the folks that work there are a pleasure to be around, read more

It's been almost a year since I started going to SmartBodies and I have seen some great improvements both physically and mentally. I look and feel healthier, I have more energy and I am more tone. My trainer is Anthony and he is AWESOME! He assures I have proper form, challenges me and keeps it interesting. It's more than doing various exercises, it's a complete all around workout. I highly recommend SmartBodies for anyone looking for a personal trainer. read more

I retired from a long career in Health Information Systems this past March 2012. Due to my business travel and dedication to my family and work, I never made time for my own personal health goals. I joined Smartbodies instead of other larger gyms in the Cherry Hill area because of a highly qualified recommendation on the quality of the trainers and program. This recommendation has proven to be right on target. I have been training with Anthony (the owner) and my health and body have improved significantly. Anthony completed a health assessment of me prior to beginning a personalized program to meet my goals. In spite of having a hinderance of knee issues my legs have become stronger each week. My stability and balance has improved. My strength in my stomach, arms and back has increased. I really like the separate cardio room. I never have to wait for a machine. I started my cardio program walking at 2.9 for 2 miles. I am now up to 4.3 and 4+ miles. I train three times a week and actually feel like a million bucks when I finish each training session. It gives me sense of accomplishment. I am sleeping better and have more energy. My overall strength has improved by 50%. Each training session is different, but the support and guidance throughout is unparalleled. I never have to worry if I'm doing it right, because I am instructed all the way through. The gym is large enough and well equipped, but small enough to feel comfortable. There is a sense of commitment from all the trainers and a feeling of happiness when you are there. Everyone is working hard on their own specific goals whether it is weight loss or rehab, etc., but everyone is making progress and having fun. Lastly, and important to note is that it works for me financially. I like the way Smartbodies has structured the cost of the sessions. I've been to other gyms and without proper guidance and support it is very difficult to improve. The cost of these sessions is worth every cent. The training programs at Smartbodies are customized and laser focused on improvement. All I have to do it show up and Anthony takes care of the rest. It's a beautiful thing! I highly recommend this gym, the trainers and the beneficial rewards that come from your own commitment to improving your health and body. I have exceeded my goals in less than a year and you can do it too! read more

This is personalized fitness at its best!! It's a great workout with a friendly atmosphere. Very affordable and these guys hold you accountable with your fitness goals. I usually train with Mike, but the rest of the staff is amazing too! Look no further, this is the place to be for a great workout!! read more

I love coming to this gym. I drive at least 30 mins from my home to workout with these guys. All staff members make you feel very comfortable. They take the time to make sure you're not only doing the workouts correctly to target the correct muscle group, but safely as well with good form. The other clients that workout are a variety of ages and walks of life. It's nice to see the variety. I get a great workout no matter who trains me. Based on my schedule, I usually see Anthony or Mike.I like mixing up my workouts and this is a great way to do it. Great workout every time and lifestyle advice read more

I have been working out at Smartbodies for years. The personal attention and amazing results keep me coming back. I could never go to a traditional gym again. read more

I've been going to Smart Bodies for years and always come back. I like the environment because its comfortable and I'm guided through my workout every step of the way. Its specifically a personal training gym, so I don't have to wait for people to be done with equipment or loud people dropping weights. Its all perfectly timed so I can get in an efficient total body workout. The plus is that they have a full cardio room that you can use anytime even when you aren't scheduled for a training session! The hours are great, open like 5am to 8pm. The staff are awesome, fun, and friendly. Free water while you work out. Locker rooms have showers and nice towels. In 4 months I have lost 20 lbs with their diet plan and exercise routine. I never got these results anywhere else. Location is convenient right in Marlton next to all shopping so that's a plus. I love it. I recommend anyone to try it out! read more
