I love Body by Choice! My trainer, Heather, has been awesome. With the program they set up for me, I work out two days... a week on my own, and one day a week with Heather. It’s great for my schedule and budget. The exercise app is so easy to use, and there are videos linked with each exercise so I know what to do and the proper form.Heather had been so encouraging and helpful in my fitness journey. She knows how to safely push my rep and weight limit boundaries so that I continue making gains!! This place has been great for not only my physical health, but my mental health too. I have a new group of girl friends now who are always supporting and encouraging one another. This place has been a great addition to my life!read more

I have worked with Gina Huizingh at Body by Choice training for several years. During that time I lost approximately... 100 pounds added muscle and recovered from three surgeries. It has been quite the journey.Gina is a unique combination of physical training expertise and having an innate knowledge of how to address particular problems. For example, after I tore my Achilles tendon and was going through a very long and painful recovery after surgery, she laid out a detailed plan to work through a number of phases to get the strength back without any setbacks. She has a plan for each workout and she notices every little thing. She is well liked by everyone that she works with, and I feel fortunate to be able to work with herOverall I can recommend Gina and body by choice as a place to go if you’re serious about your all aspects of your healthread more

Nick Klein and his team at Body by Choice Training are simply amazing. Importantly everyone is friendly, supportive and... helpful. And they apply science to the world of training. I have been with Nick for about 5 years and I have noticed significant improvements in strength and mobility. In addition with their training plans I have recovered from injuries to my shoulder and VMO and I feel energized and ready to take on the next physical challenge. Best of all for me is I am able to use the Heroic App while away from the gym for uninterrupted training no matter where I am. This team is professional and really helpful!read more

I wanted to get back into strength training and comfortable with machines and free weights before doing things more on... my own. After learning about BBCT and reviewing my goals, Nick placed me with Heather. Heather was the perfect fit for me and has been supportive in teaching me how to do all the things at the gym. I’ve also met with Tiffny about nutrition a few times and have been able to make little changes that can make a big difference. (Hello protein!)read more

I highly recommend Body by Choice. I came here to learn how to lift weights “correctly” and was paired with Dylan as my... trainer. Dylan created a really safe space for someone new to lifting to learn and was very knowledgeable. He was always happy to explain the “why” behind our workout’s structure or the movements so that I could apply those concepts on my own. I couldn’t recommend it enough!read more

I've had such an amazing experience here. My trainer, Heather, is the best! She completely understands my goals and... even helped me fix some things I didn't know could be fixed (looking at you ankles). The entire staff is so friendly and so knowledgeable. The environment is very welcoming no matter what stage you are at on your fitness journey. I used to have to drag myself to the gym, but now it's the highlight of my week! Nick makes sure to pair you with the trainer that will best fit with your personality and goals as well. It's the best investment I've made since moving here last year!read more

I have no idea how they decide who to pair new clients with, but working with Dylan has been an absolute delight.

I started training at BBC in January and have actually stuck with it for almost a year! I joined because I wanted a... change but had no idea where to start and how to use the machine. I also know that I need more than self-motivation. This gym is totally non-judgmental--just a group of clients all trying to achieve their personal goals with their trainers. I'm so glad that I was assigned Heather as my trainer. She is very adaptable and responsive to my requests, my goals, my favorite (and least favorite) exercise types. I look forward to training with her every week and catching up.BBC also provides wellness coaching, and Tiff is very encouraging and helps define your goals with manageable strategies.My only wish was that they would be open one or two hours longer on the Saturday for appointments.read more

5 months in and loving it. I joined the gym after having back surgery and 2 months of physical therapy. I realized I... needed more help than physical therapy could provide. Nick and his trainers made a program around making me stronger where I needed it most. My first 3 months were 2 days a week, I am now training 3 days a week. I feel better and stronger than ever, and am very happy with the progress thus far. Nick and his facility are top notch, and I have very much enjoyed my experience with Roy, Dylan and Tiffny. Thank you Body by Choice!read more

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 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

She is awesome and everything a trainer should be: smart, invested in her clients, willing to push you to achieve your goals, and funny (read: willing to give my sarcasm right back to me during my workouts). Highly recommend AnnaMarie and BBC to anyone who is looking to meet their fitness goals.read more

I have been going to Body By Choice Training since June. I have completed one twelve-week program and just recently... started a new twelve week program. I have been able to work with three different trainers at Body By Choice. My trainers are Nate, Taylor and Andy I train with them three times a week. I have loved training with them and have felt stronger, healthier and better about myself since I’ve started. Each of them push and support me while I am training. They also have a nutritionist that is available to improve your nutrition. I highly recommend Body By Choice if you are looking to get in shape and improve your overall health. They are the experts 🙂read more

BBC is the most amazing gym I've ever been to. Not only is the equipment fantastic, clean and in really good shape. But... they also pair you with a trainer. Since I've been going there, I've had the pleasure of working with Annamarie. She will push you and support you and encourage you. And if you show up, you will succeed. In the time I've been going here, I've also gotten to know the other trainers along the way. Any trainer there, will be with you literally every step of the way. 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 absolutely love Body By Choice Training! I completed my first twelve-week program recently and I have never felt... better. Stephanie (my trainer) pushes me to do my best and tests my capabilities. I feel stronger, healthier, and overall have better about myself! Stephanie and the entire Body By Choice Training staff are amazing! I will never go anywhere else!read more

I play professional hockey in Europe and I chose Body by Choice because of the elite level training programs they offer... to athletes. I worked primarily with Nick and his colleague Kolby who are both very knowledgeable. Nick set up a personal program for me including diet, supplementation and a strength and conditioning routine that helped me reach my goals. In only 10 weeks I dropped 4% total body fat and put on 13 pounds of lean muscle. If you are serious about your sport and live in the Grand Rapids area you need to give them a call. I highly recommend Body by Choice.read more

I have been at BBC for almost a year. I have worked out with multiple trainers and they all bring something different... to the session. Top that off with the nutrition help I have received and this place offers a total package customized specifically to me. My arthritic knee has never felt stronger. It's been an amazing experience, I highly recommend BBC!read more

Weekly training sessions at BBCT over the last year have been a crucial part to my strength development and lean muscle... gain! Taylor's motivation and careful program planning has kept me focused and allowed me to realize my body's full capabilities as she pushes me for one more rep - something I would've given up on if I were by myself. Up until a year ago, I have always just trained individually and certainly continue to do so, but have found that even a weekly session has been incredibly beneficial with regards to reaching my fitness goals.read more

BBCT is AMAZING. Such an accommodating and friendly space to exercise. They guide you so well. The staff are amazing,... the workout plans are challenging but fun, and it’s never too crowded. I love my trainer Stephanie! Check this place out!read more

I have been working with Taylor for about 4 months now and I’ve never felt more motivated and excited about working out... -and these workouts can be intense! - as I do when coming here. I’ve seen and felt so much improvement, physically and mentally by pushing myself and having that support system to keep me going even when it gets tough. And it’s not just Taylor but all the other trainers and clients are supportive and friendly too. It’s also super awesome to hear my friends and family comment about how they have noticed how much better I’ve been looking and feeling lately since I’ve started training here! Highly recommend!!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

I have an excellent, knowledgeable trainer that works with me weekly and designs new workouts specifically for me. I... have built so much strength in my body that I had lost for a long time, more than I had hoped for as I had worked with other trainers before without these results. And my positive results are evident in my medical assessment - my Doctor is very pleased with my numbers! Annamaire is a pleasure and joy to work with and has made a real difference in my life.read more

As a “senior citizen” I was troubled with various signs of aging including lethargy, weight gain, dangerous falls and... lower back pain when walking or doing chores. Nathan at Body by Choice has reversed all these symptoms and has given me a new lease on life. I was never comfortable in a gym environment and had no idea what I should do. Nathan and the “family” at Body by Choice erased my self-consciousness and made the experience something to look forward to. As a bonus, terrific weight and nutrition coaching is available from Tiffny, as well as on-line coaching. The change in my health is worth every penny. “When you have your health, you have everything.”read more

I can't say enough about Nathan and Body By Choice staff. They embrace and welcome you along with helping you achieve... physical goals you never knew you could. The positive environment and having the one to one with a skilled trainer makes all the difference. Nathan and the other trainers are so very knowledgeable in their field of expertise which has allowed me to enjoy training. The benefits are priceless with my increased energy level and ability to focus more in my day to day life. They embrace the full spectrum of optimal health from eating behaviors to stress relievers and what it takes to become the best you could possibly be and feel. Thank you all Body by Choice trainers, especially Nathan who keeps me on track.read more

I came to Body by Choice knowing very little about working out or nutrition. I have about a month left in my program... and I have learned A LOT. Andy does a fantastic job of teaching you the exercises and keeping you on a schedule that keeps you on your toes. No boredom here and certainly no room to slack off!! Tiffny has been super helpful in helping me with my nutrition plan and keeping me motivated by going over my body measurements. Can't say enough good things, keep up the good work!!read more

12 weeks ago, I joined BBC to gain strength and lose fat. I had major surgery in July of last year that left me very... week. I met with Nick and put a plan together for nutrition and exercise with measurable goals. I’ve worked very hard under the watchful eye of Ann Marie, and met all my goals. I not only don’t want to lose what I gained, I want to take it to the next level. All of the staff at BBC are so supportive, it really is something I look forward to. I never dreamed that at 62, surviving lung cancer, I’d be in the best shape of my life. So now I reach higher. Great facility, people and program.read more
