In
2021,
I
made
a
commitment
to
change
some
things
in
my
life
to
improve
my
health.
My
first
step
was
to
change
my
diet.
That
was
successful.
In
the
span
of
a
year,
I
lost
almost
70
pounds;
however,
in
December
of
2022,
I
realized
that
I
had
hit
a
hard
plateau.
My
80-year-old
parents
had
been
lifting
weights
at
Body
by
Design
for
almost
8
years,
so
I
decided
that
I
was
going
to
try
adding
weights
to
my
health
initiative.
Wow!
What
a
life
changing
decision.
In
almost
a
year,
I
have
lost
nearly
20
lbs,
gained
5
pounds
of
muscle,
and
lost
8%
of
body
fat.
Those
are
hard,
provable
evidence
of
success.
Yet,
that
is
not
the
main
reason
I
would
recommend
Body
by
Design.
The
reason
I
have
been
successful
is
because
of
the
intangibles
that
can't
be
measured.
First,
Body
by
Design
is
not
just
a
fitness
studio;
it
is
a
culture,
a
family.
Each
time
I
walk
in,
I
am
greeted
by
name
by
every
coach
and
most
clients.
I
jokingly
refer
to
it
as
the
"Cheers"
of
fitness
studios---
everybody
knows
your
name.
I
have
personally
worked
out
with
every
coach
at
the
studio.
They
all
share
my
struggles
and
my
successes,
and
each
one
has
taught
me
something
valuable,
each
one
offering
a
different
perspective
on
my
goals.
It
is
clear
that
the
staff
meets
regularly
to
discuss
our
fitness
goals
and
our
plan.
It
does
not
matter
who
you
schedule;
they
are
all
invested
in
your
success.
I
like
the
fact
that
I
have
an
accountability
coach
who
is
working
on
and
tracking
not
only
my
body
changes,
my
lifting
program,
and
my
diet,
but
also
my
challenges
with
sticking
to
my
program.
They
encourage
me
to
be
consistent
and
to
trust
the
plan.
The
most
surprising
part
of
the
experience
is
it
actually
works!
I
am
a
60-year
old
post-menopausal
woman
who
has
tried
everything
to
be
healthy
with
little
to
no
success.
One
year!
Sticking
to
a
plan!
Consistency!
Every
single
time
I
walk
in
the
gym,
I
am
happy
to
be
there.
Every
workout
is
a
challenge;
however,
it
is
not
anything
that
I
can't
achieve
because
the
plan
is
personally
tailored
to
my
needs.
The
coaches
plan
my
success
so
that
I
don't
give
up.
Praise,
encouragement,
tangible
proof
of
success
keeps
me
coming
back.
I
have
been
to
other
gyms
before
--
all
promising
changes;
however,
I
was
never
able
to
stick
with
anything
because
every
program/workout
seemed
dauntingly
difficult.
It
was
almost
cookie-cutter
planning
for
anyone
my
age
---
too
easy,
too
hard,
going
through
the
motions.
Not
at
Body
by
Design.
I
feel
that
the
staff
is
truly
invested
in
my
success.
However,
it
is
not
just
the
staff
that
makes
the
place
feel
like
home.
All
of
my
fellow
workout
friends
provide
advice,
encouragement,
and
fellowship.
The
gym
schedules
social
activities
and
competitions
to
keep
us
all
motivated.
Overall,
Body
by
Design
feels
like
home,
and
the
people
feel
like
family
---
all
working
toward
the
same
goal
of
being
fit
and
healthy.
I
do
not
hesitate
to
give
Body
by
Design
my
highest
recommendation.
