Body by Choice is the best investment I have ever made in myself!I have exercised my entire adult life – group... fitness classes and cardio machines -- and managed to stay in decent shape. But at 60 I decided it was time for this old dog to learn new tricks if I wanted to remain active and travel in my retirement. I knew needed to get STRONG, and that meant tackling those scary free weight and intimidating weight machines. A health care professional whom I trust recommended Body by Choice and he did not steer me wrong.The group truly cares about the unique and individual needs of every client and works to help you reach your goals by creating a personalized plan and giving you helpful tips and tools.I am loving the results! I am getting stronger and have a confidence with weightlifting that I never imagined I would possess. My children who used to describe me as “fragile” are shocked when I tell them how much weight I am lifting, and my adult son, who began lifting weights as a high school athlete, is amazed at my proper form.I thought weightlifting would be like bitter medicine, a drudgery that I would suffer through as a means to an end. Instead, I was shocked to discover that I LOVE weightlifting and it is something I look forward to doing and honestly wish I started doing decades ago.I believe this life changing transformation was only made possible by Nick and his incredible Body by Choice team. I can’t say enough great things about Heather my trainer. She really listens to her clients and knows what motivates each person, no cookie cutter approaches here. I also learned a great deal from Tiffny. My whole life I thought about my diet in terms of what I needed to eliminate to remain healthy, she taught me to also think about what I needed to add to my diet to reach my goals.The entire crew at Body by Choice has a wealth of knowledge that they are excited to share with their clients in a non-judgmental environment.My only regret is that I didn’t discover Body by Choice earlier, but I am so very grateful that I am working with them now.read more

I'm a fairly active, early 40's finding it challenging to loose weight so my Doctor recommended weight training. So I... did what most of us do, I googled it. Thankfully I found Body by Choice. Nick ,the owner, met with me for a tour and right from the start I felt very comfortable, he explained the approach and seemed very sincere about helping folks out. I decided that personal training was the way I need to go and have been working with Lisa. She has been fantastic! I really appreciate the motivation and accountability that she provides. She takes a very personal approach walking me through the routine she creates and helps every step of the way. The nutrionist Tiffny worked with me as well to come up with unique goals that will help with my food challenges. I'm about 1/2 way through the program and I feel stronger, using muscles I didn't even know I had and have lost a few pounds as well. Highly recommend Body by Choice to anyone that just needs that little extra push towards self care. Its been a game changer for me.read more

I highly recommend giving BBCT a chance, especially if you are middle-aged and looking to get in shape safely and effectively.read more

I had been working out on my own religiously for the past 5 yrs, but wasn't seeing the results I wanted. I finally... decided to join BBCT and couldn't happier with the improvements in my overall health! Between the weight lifting workouts and nutritional guidance, my body has transformed and I have finally gained the physique and confidence I have been working so hard for! My personal trainer, Roy Scarbrough, was absolutely amazing! He is super knowledgeable about the body and went out of his way to continuously update my workout plan as I progressed and got stronger! Not only that, but within a couple weeks of starting my runners knee was gone and I was able to enjoy running again!

I would give six stars if I could! I cannot recommend BBCT highly enough. This place has a nice private atmosphere... which is perfect for someone like me who is still early on in their fitness journey. I never feel self conscious or judged by anyone which can be a big fear for a newbie.I work with Stephanie and she is AWESOME!! If you can laugh with someone at 6am while you're pushing through a tough workout then they're doing something right! If there's something that she introduces that needs to modified, she can show you different ways to do it which is great. She's good at giving you the "why" behind what we're doing.I also enjoy the check-ins with Tiffny - she has a ton of knowledge on how your body is processing not only the food we consume but also products we interact with daily. I am definitely loyal to BBCT now and in the future. Honestly it's not even near where I live and work and it's so worth it to drive out there. I could not have started this fitness journey without them.read more

All of the plans are customized for you and your goals. They show you how to do things safely and very effectively. This is not a gym where you walk in the door and hop on a treadmill for 30 minutes because you don't know what else to do. You show up, you have a full workout plan waiting for you, you get a consistenly great workout.read more

I chose BBC based off of google reviews back in the spring. Their website was highly intriguing as well as their... reviews, and for good reason. All of their trainers are extremely friendly, helpful and supportive. Their combination of professionalism, knowledge and kindness sets them apart from other gyms. Not only do they help you out with training but they also have a nutritionist who helps you with choosing better and healthier meals. If you have any questions about shakes or supplements they are more than happy to help you, however they never once pressured me into buying them.Just going to the sessions twice a week with a trainer and eating healthier, they helped me lose 20 pounds in 12 weeks! All while gaining muscle and feeling stronger every week.It is on the pricier side, but they have different plans that you can ask about and surely afford. Ultimately, you’re not only investing your money into the company, but into yourself and they will guide you every step of the way to help you meet your goals.read more
