    Love this gym and their staff. I’ve always hated working out and going to the gym, but Body by Design has changed my attitude. They provide excellent plans and options for beginners as well as those who are experienced. The staff and members make it a welcoming environment for everyone.

    I never leave reviews for places but this place is amazing! They are very helpful, nice, and made me feel welcomed the first moment I walked in. I love the fact that it’s a smaller gym and they keep everything really clean. I’ve been going for about 7 or 8 months and it feels like I’m part of a family. All the trainers are very knowledgeable and always greet me when I walk in. I have a bad lower back and some of the workouts can cause it to hurt and when I tell them they always have some alternate I can do and it feels better. If you are looking for a place where you feel at home this is it.

    The training I've received at Body By Design has been life-changing. My goal going into this program was to correct my posture and build my strength back up. I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome a few years ago, and I couldn't trust my body to do basis tasks. There were so many things I would avoid doing, because my body seemed so fragile. I literally lived in fear. When I started at Body By Design, I was scared that I might injure myself but the trainers made me feel at ease by ensuring me that these exercises were the best way to prevent injury. Not only do I not experience TOS symptoms anymore, I am able to use my body like I used to! These trainers have given me my life back and I am very grateful. I'll be signing up for another year once my current contract is up.

    I came in knowing nothing about weight training but I knew I wanted to change. I have been going now for 6 months straight and I feel much stronger and healthier. Neal and team create an environment where you feel welcome and they push you to succeed. It really is a great gym to be a part of.

    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.

    I've been a member at Body By Design for about a year and a half. When I first signed up, Neal talked to me about my goals and thoroughly explained how his team works and how they could help me with fitness. Every coach I've worked with is awesome and knowledgeable when it comes to performing specific exercises. Earlier this year I set a very ambitious goal that I wanted to reach in 6 months that seemed impossible to meet at the time. But after working with the coaches, consistency, and some serious self discipline, I was able to do it! Special shout out to Dwight with help on that!

    I joined Body by Design about one year ago and it has completely transformed my body! The coaches are top quality and ensure the workouts are new and engaging. They cater the workouts to your individual goals and interests, so I was able to learn Olympic Lifting! I have worked out for many years but have never had the results I wanted until I joined this studio. Would recommend this to anyone no matter what your fitness level is!

    I’ve been going since May and this place is excellent for personal training. I’ve had trainers at big chain fitness facilities and BBD blows them away. I have learned so much about proper form, my strength has improved steadily. Everyone has a great positive attitude.

    Big shout out to Neal and Body By Design! I walked in today and asked for some changes in my workout due to an injury and within minutes Neal had made the adjustments needed to compensate and kept me on track! Best Gym Ever 💪

  • 5/5 Ashley T. 6 months ago on Google
    I’ve been going here for a year now and I love it! They tailor the program to fit your goals and are genuinely interested in your success. The coaches are knowledgable and ensure you are correctly completing the movement to get the best results! It is a very friendly environment with good energy!

  • 5/5 Sarath K. 4 months ago on Google
    I went to Body by Design Studio for about two and a half years. This is the best gym I've ever been to. From the moment I walked in until the day I left, I was treated like family. I told Neal about my goals, and he customized my training accordingly. During my time there, every coach I had was excellent and very knowledgeable! The best parts of the studio are the challenges, constant diet monitoring, progression weeks, and the Inbody measurements to show the progressions. When I first entered the studio, I had runner's knee, but all of the coaches were really helpful in relieving the discomfort with the right forms and techniques. I've gone on several backpacking trips and have never had any problems with the knee. I sincerely appreciate all of the coaches there. Hopefully, we will cross paths again. I wish you guys the best!

    Body by Design is more than just a gym, it is a studio dedicated to improve the physical health of each of it's clients. Since I joined Body By Design four years ago, I have been transformed from a couch potato into a fitness person, a feat which I never knew was possible! I do not believe I would have started to care about exercise had it not have been for the wonderful trainers at this studio. Each and every one of these trainers genuinely cares about their clients and wants to see them succeed. They are incredibly positive, encouraging, funny and kind. The trainers learn each individual client's goals, set them on the path towards achieving their goals and help them set new goals afterwards. In addition to exercise, the trainers have helped me improve other aspects of my health such as making healthy dietary choices, staying properly hydrated and getting enough rest each night. Since I started working out here, I have dramatically improved my diet by making healthy eating choices that will support my exercise goals. I love the Body By Design family and I cannot thank them enough for helping put me on a path to physical success for the rest of my life.

  • 5/5 Tianne E. 1 year ago on Google
    I've tried a plethora of gyms and none of them ever worked out for me until I found Body by Design. I used to think that I enjoy the large groups because I needed motivation, but I've often found that I would over exert myself in the classes and would be miserably sore for a few days and I wouldn't return to class. With Body By Design, I get my own programming that changes periodically as I grow stronger and gain more endurance. I enjoy the personal coaching sessions and the that the workouts are tailored to me. All of the coaches are great and I now look forward to my workouts. The small group classes are great and have so much variety that I'm never bored. In 3 months time, I've already seen changes in my body and I feel so much better these days. As long as I live around here, Body by Design will be my gym. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Body by Design has truly transformed my body in a matter of months. From the customized training programs, to fun group classes and a stellar crew of trainers - BBD has helped me reach fitness goals that I’ve been striving to achieve for years. The trainers are the best in the biz - so motivating, so personable and the most helpful for all walks of life - special shout-out to Sarah, Michael and Neal for being my rocks. Truly cannot recommend BBD more!!

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place. It’s the only gym I’ve been too that I actually enjoy going to. The owner and trainers are so personable. They truly want to see you make positive changes in your life and keep them. I’ve been a member for 2 years and it’s definitely worth it!

  • 5/5 Chelsea N. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 best gym in Alpharetta. The staff are always welcoming, super encouraging, and know how to train. You can tell they care to have personal relationships with everyone they work with and accountability is top of mind. BBD built my confidence more in the last three months than I could do on my own in other gyms in four years. The workouts are challenging and specific to my goals and the results speak for themselves. I would recommend this gym to anyone just starting out or seasoned gym rats who want to reach specific goals. I came here to get in shape for my wedding in March, and I plan to stick around afterward. The environment, the coaches, and the facility are all worthy of a glowing review. Thank you BBD team I'm so happy to be a member!

  • 5/5 Fred E. 1 year ago on Google
    I am 75 years old. I love to play golf, but my back was a problem. I have arthritis in my lower back which makes swinging a golf club difficult, at best. I could barely play 9 holes. My wife was pushing me to exercise and improve my health. I had gone to BbD years earlier, and I remembered the good that did me. So I started back a little over 1 year ago. While I work primarily with Sarah, all of the professionals there are great to work with. I’ve lost inches off my waist and pounds of weight. I’m much stronger and much more flexible. My wife is a gardener and sends me to buy those large bags of dirt. Before I would struggle getting those things in and out of the car but not anymore. The thing I like most is the training has completely strengthened and rebuilt my core. I’m back to playing tournament golf 2 and 3 days in a row. I cannot give BbD enough praise.  Exercise is an investment in living a better more fulfilling life. Thank you, Body by Design. Fred Ethridge

    This is a great gym. The workout equipment is always clean and in top condition. The classes are definitely worth it. I have seen a tremendous difference in my stamina, technique, and tone.

  • 5/5 Anna K. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience at this gym - with chronic back issues and pain, it has always been hard to get into a workout routine let alone make significant progress. Now I have more muscle mass and tone than I ever did before and I’ve learned a lot about what works for my body. It’s a supportive and fun environment that you will enjoy!

  • 5/5 Jenny K. 1 year ago on Google
    Body by Design is the best personal training gym in our area! I came to Body by Design as an avid crossfitter that became stagnant in my workouts over the years and gained weight. I was desperate for a serious change. Since starting with Body by Design, I have lost 15lbs in 3 months with their guidance, positive attitudes and daily motivation. With diet and training consistency along with the daily help of my trainers at body by design they have made it easy to stay on track to reach my goals to be where I’m at today. I cannot thank every trainer enough for helping me when I was at my worst to get back to my best! If you are looking for trainers with experience and results this is your place! Thank you Body by Design, you rock!

  • 5/5 Ramneek C. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are in Alpharetta or near by, if you want to create habits that will not only help you achieve your goals but also sustain them to create a lifestyle, definitely try this gym out. Every trainer I’ve worked with here is very professional and focuses on helping you in and out of the gym. Create your own custom goal plan or join a small group class, everything works in sync towards your goal.

  • 5/5 sguenena 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend Body by Design Fitness Studio Alpharetta. I was a member for 4 years and I enjoyed every second of it. I always looked forward to attending my sessions because the staff treated me like family and the workouts were fun. Plus, they were extremely knowledgeable and professional as they helped me lose fat and gain muscle in a safe and effective way.
