I have been training with Coach Carlos Jordan for a year now, both lifestyle training and bikini competition training. I am blown away by how passionate he is about changing people's lives. I have worked with a lot of different trainers over the years, and I can confidently say that Carlos is an excellent trainer providing innovative workouts that are both challenging and effective. He's very encouraging helping me push past any limitations I have placed on myself, which is allowing me to reach my full health and fitness potential. The gym environment is positive and shared with other like-minded people working hard to reach their goals. I'm super excited to be training with Carlos and look forward to seeing how far I can push to obtain my best results. I highly recommend Carlos if you're serious about putting in the work! read more

This gym has made me a believer in personal training. I have worked with trainers in the past at chain gyms and did not see the value added; but at Ultimate Bodies, the trainers are true professionals that are genuinely invested in your fitness. They take personal pride in your progress and results. They are also just really nice people. The clients are great too. It is a diverse group with all ages and fitness levels represented. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive. It is a wonderful community. read more

I cannot recommend Ultimate Bodies more! I have been training with Carlos for about 2 years now and love every second of it. He knows exactly how to tone my body exactly how I want it to be and is a pleasure to be around. The environment is amazing and an amazing community feeling. read more

My wife and I train at this gym under the guidance of Carlos. He is truly one of the best trainers in the city. He has the right balance of focus on results, positivity, accountability, and humor. Carlos cares about our results as much as we do. His facility has all the essential equipment you need and their staff keeps the gym extremely clean. I love that the full gym is available to you virtually anytime you need to get some work in. I've recently expanded my usage of the gym to include Boot Camp hosted by Melody and she's just as motivating and awesome as Carlos. If you want to learn to lead a healthy lifestyle and be in a fitness environment/community that is encouraging and motivational, look no further than Ultimate Bodies by Carlos. read more

My favorite thing about working with Carlos is that in a time of waist trainers fad diets and gimmicks he's basically a realistic no nonsense do the work kind of trainer. it's a bout hard work and accountabilit. Also, the culture of the gym encourages you to stay in it and make no excuse. read more

Ok so I've been a member at this gym for the past 10 months and recently trained for my first bikini competition and WON 1st place! My trainer is Carlos and they don't call him the body surgeon for nothing. He doesn't just help you lose weight he actually transforms your body! The gym is small and the staff is very friendly. It has a family feel. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone who competes in fitness shows or just what people who want to live the healthy life style. read more

Ultimate Bodies By Carlos - Carlos trained me for my 1st bikini competition and I won 1st place! - Gyms Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have known Carlos Jordan for over 20 years. When I met him, he, along with a friend of his, had only recently started their personal training business, and he was an outstanding trainer, THEN. Now, after years of experience training everyone from celebrities to doctors, fitness competitors and body builders to housewives, people in their 20s to senior citizens, he has EVEN MORE knowledge about the best methods to train people of all ages and genders, based on their fitness goals. Carlos will push you past what you thought you could do, while remaining patient and (very important) MAKING YOU LAUGH! Ultimate Bodies is a small, boutique gym, but they have all the equipment you need to achieve the vast majority of fitness goals. The gym and locker rooms are very clean, and the equipment is well maintained. However, to me, the best thing about this gym IS THE PEOPLE. The staff is GREAT! They are personable, fun, and motivating. Carlos and his staff attract the best clientele, too. Everyone I have met there is just like the staff: personable, fun, and motivational. As you stand there, trying to catch your breath, after a round of sprints, for instance, someone will walk by and say something like, "The hard work is paying off! You're looking good. Keep it up! You've got this! You can do it!" The PEOPLE make it FUN to work out. While working out, not only does everyone help to motivate each other, sometimes you can get an ab workout from LAUGHING! The gym membership is very affordable, and there are no long term contracts; but, the big attraction to me is the trainers. It is well worth it to cut something else out of your expenses to treat yourself to a personal trainer. After all, even professional athletes, who have been working out for years, work with trainers! Ultimate Bodies by Carlos is a great place to train hard, achieve your fitness goals, AND do it while having fun with awesome, down to earth people: from celebrities to just "regular people", like me! read more

Been going to UBBC and training with Carlos for 4 months. Have dropped 2 sizes and 11 lbs...and it's the good lbs-fat. Not to mention completely toned my body. He designs a workout to your specific needs and keeps its challenging for your body. Which is key to prevent a plateau. And the vibe is so friendly and supportive from all trainers and clients. Just a place where you can be yourself and challenge yourself. read more

Carlos is the ultimate professional and I loved this gym for a couple of months after switching gyms after 15 years. I was introduced to Floyd Brown as my trainer and initially liked his demeanor and personality. $5,000 later I saw no results. Floyd is not a professional trainer. Beware. Smooth talker with no results. read more

You must must must try Ultimate Bodies. Its a small locally owned gym on Rock Springs (address is 1830 Piedmont Ave NE but its in the little plaza on Rock Springs Rd NE right by the intersection before the car wash and Grindhouse). It's AWESOME. You MUST wear a mask and its enforced. It's a small clientele so easy to social distance. Everyone is so friendly, respectful and awesome - staff, trainers and clients. Their personal trainers are the best. Its very affordable as well and right in the heart of our hood! I can't recommend it enough. They have all become like family. Also, the gym has always been amazingly, sparklingly clean, and that has not changed during COVID. It is CONSTANTLY being cleaned. read more

Top rate trainer and motivator! Get the experience of fitness and family. A great private gym where you are guaranteed commitment from the trainers and great relationships!

With goals to focus more on my core and upper body strength, Melody M. at UBBC helped me meet those goals and more! She has great energy and truly challenges you to bring intensity to every session. Even my eating habits have become better because of her. Facility is clean and staff & other members are very supportive. Would definitely recommend! read more

I LOVE this place. I am not a gym gal, never have been never will.....wait, YES - I AM an Ultimate Bodies by Carlos gym gal. This place is fantastic. No egos. No snooty too cool for school muscle bound freaks. When you walk in the door, everyone knows your name. They're my workout family. By the time I leave a session, I feel alive, I feel strong, I am motivated. I give Ultimate Bodies by Carlos 5 stars plus! read more

Carlos is the best personal trainer! He sat down and listened to what my needs and goals are. He helped to devise a plan that is specific to my objectives. He also helped me with an eating plan that was realistic and not too restrictive that I wouldn't be able to incorporate it into my everyday life. He believes that eating right is a lifestyle not a diet. I attend some of his group sessions and always feel like I am getting personalized attention. He watches and teaches you how to use proper form with each of the machines to optimize results. He also gives me exercises that are specific to my goals. Carlos is realistic about setting expectations. I wanted results immediately and he reminds me that they come through hard work. He challenges me to have a positive mindset and always makes me feel challenged. He definitely holds you accountable!! I started seeing results within the first two weeks. I am a few months into working with Carlos and continue to see my body change shape weekly. It is amazing at the results I am seeing. It has given me a lot of confidence. I have also learned a lot. I would recommend Carlos and his team to anyone who is serious about getting in shape. read more

I passed by this place so many times on my way home from another gym and am very glad I decided to stop in. Ultimate Bodies is a terrific alternative to the commercial gyms. The equipment and locker rooms are clean. The membership fee is very affordable and you must treat yourself to a couple of personal training sessions. Carlos Jordan is fantastic at his craft and truly knows how to transform a person's body. I have seen so many great changes and I've only been training with him a short while. The gym "regulars" are also very welcoming and encouraging. read more

First off let me say that the owner Carlos Jordan is a class act. He never walks around with his nose in the air, treats all of his clients and members with respect, and one of the best motivators on the plannet. And he is always willing to help if you have a question. Nice location, nice clean gym. read more

Excellent, excellent, excellent. I walked into Ultimate Bodies with lots of health issues, including arthritis in both knees, a recovering frozen shoulder and elevated glucose levels. I loved in the neighborhood of Piedmont Heights, not far from the gym but always worked out outside walking at nearby Piedmont Park. The gym always had a fantastic reputation in the neighborhood and my husband eventually became a member, but he was not going regularly. But at some point I had to take the next step and I joined the gym. Two months later, no pain in my knees, my arms are better and the inches are coming off. I train with one of the excellent team led by Carlos the owner of trainers, Melody. Melody is amazing, she is caring, careful, provides a meal plan and a workout plan second to none. I am feeling better, looking better and pain free. You have to have discipline and be consistent and listen to the trainers in order to improve, you just have to, then they make it easy and it is fun. The gym is clean, they keep all of the equipment clean and the conditions despite Covid-19 are fantastic. I like the small gym atmosphere, the workouts are personalized and the everyone is focused on getting better and being healthier. I took a long time to join, but now I am going to be a lifelong member. Truly our bodies are Ultimate! read more

UBBC is a lifestyle choice! I have known Carlos for 18 years. I chose him as my trainer for several reasons: I want my body to look like my trainer's (he is in fantastic shape); he is motivational; he is inspirational; he is creative with workouts; and he is funny too. No workout is ever the same. The trainers and gym membership are diverse and interact as a family. UBBC is truly a neighborhood gym. Carlos has worked with me in various situations such as increasing muscle mass due to losing 60 pounds after I completed chemo several years ago. More recently I lost 22 excess pounds! Carlos always wants the very best physically and mentally for his clients...... Translation - he challenges and pushes his clients to new heights. Workouts are tailored to individual needs. This is the place to nurture your body and mind. Give it a try! read more

(Or sometimes a new fitfam name, lol) It's open, fresh & free of gym odor. And of course all the equipment you'll need to build your Ultimate Bodies! Carlos Jordan has sculpted me to be a Pro Figure Champion! I had taken years off gained PLENTY (cake!) weight, lost muscle and still my first show back got 1st place to become Pro! I believe in his awesome gift as the Body Surgeon, he is a phenomenon! I am grateful for him & his knowledge it has enlightened & sparked so much interest & passion in me & my journey! (13+ years & running) read more

Amazing place. Have been training with Melody Marie and she is awesome. She really motivates me to meet my goals. For the first time ever, I believe I will be successful. The entire staff is supportive and friendly. The other members are welcoming and encouraging. And I appreciate that there are all body types working side by side cheering each other on. This is a small private gym where you can get the attention/support/commitment from talented trainers like Melody Marie who know their stuff AND their primary goal is for you to safely and healthily achieve yours. I am so happy that I found this place. Additionally, it is a clean space - the women's locker room is always in tip-top shape and the entire gym is well cared for. read more

My experience with this gym is the best I have ever had in a gym! It is easy to feel very at home here, even if one is not as sculpted as many that walk around. Everyone is soooo friendly. As a beginner, and a "late" bloomer, it is so amazing to walk in here and be greeted by name by the folks that come here to train, some who are obviously competing on a professional level, and folks like me who are just trying to get in shape. The trainers, especially Carlos, the owner of the gym, is so entirely motivating that it will make your day just to come in and get on the right path of positive mental attitude. It's a small gym, with great classes on offer, especially an awesome Zumba class by Charmaine. Friendly, cheerful, motivating, inspiring, all the weight training equipment you could ask for, and very clean, what more could anybody ask for! read more

This is a boutique style gym. It's not fancy, but it's small, clean, neat, organized, friendly and everybody knows everybody. I've been going here a few times a week for 3 months since it's walking distance from my home. The hours are short - kind of a 7a-9p deal? I also have a workout anytime membership for the days when I'm unable to make it here before 8pm. I think the owner, Carlos, who's there all the time, is a well known figure in the body building world, and opened this place to continue his career. He, and a small staff, trains clients one on one and in small groups. It can be frustrating when there is a crowd here (over 6-7 people) and we are all trying to use the same machines. Also the treadmills are all mix matched and old... Over time, I discovered the slow hours and shot to attend during those, and I choose not to do cardio here. It's a great place over all. I recommend it for a neighbor. read more

Are you looking for a small, family gym to call your own -then Ultimate Bodies is it!!! The owner, Carlos Jordan will not only change your body, but your life.

Coach Carlos is very passionate about this lifestyle and it shows with the way he treats every client, with the utmost respect and professionalism. Come in and create your Ultimate Body! read more

Nice boutique gym. You can work out on your own, work with Carlos one on one or do the group work outs, which is sufficient for a great workout. I am a mom of three and I work fulltime, so finding the time to workout is important to me. Carlos, the owner of the gym, works with my schedule, and each time I have come in, I leave feeling better than the last time. Also everyone that goes to this gym is very friendly. I always feel right at home. There is also no crazy sign up fee like the big gyms. You can tell Carlos is passionate about his gym and his business. You couldn't go wrong joining this gym. read more

And of course my awesome trainer Carlos!! read more

I have been a client for more than 8 years, but am moving out of state soon. I cannot say enough good things about my experience at UBBC! I trained with both Carlos Jordan (the owner) and Penny Parker, who met me "where I was" - a 50+ year old runner with bad knees and little upper body strength- and worked with me, and around my injuries, until I overcame them. Carlos has trained many competitors, and he brought that knowledge to my situation. I am not a body builder, but I wanted to build my strength to have a lifetime of good health and strong knees so that I can hike, bike, and enjoy outdoor activities. UBBC was critical in my achieving this goal. I have seen all the trainers in action, including Starr, Mel, and Ray. They are all experienced, friendly and know how to motivate their clients. This is the perfect neighborhood gym for Morningside. I wish the UBBC team much continued success in the years to come. If you live in Morningside/Lenox Park, give UBBC a try! read more
