    Great space, great equipment, and great staff! The entire staff is knowledgeable and every workout is tailored to your goals and needs, even if you’re injured or have an imbalance. The trainers truly care about you and reaching your goals, and after a few sessions it feels like you’re working out with a friend rather than a trainer. I cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking to change your health and lifestyle!

    Like anything new I was skeptical to start training with Nick and his team, especially as this was my first true experience training with professionals. From my first session I was blown away and instantly hooked by their approach to fitness and just how easy it is to train with everybody on the team. What I thought was going to be an intimidating experience was the exact opposite, everyone is open and encouraging in helping me achieve not only my fitness goals but also helping me adopt a more overall health lifestyle. Nick and the Whole team at BBCT Thank You!!!

    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.

    I have been a member for about five months and truly appreciate all the professionalism and genuine approach the staff takes in helping you accomplish your goals. My trainers, Stephanie and Heather have been great, teaching how to train properly to get the maximum out of my training. Tiffany has helped me tremendously with my nutrition which is one on the reason for my weight loss and increased energy. You walk into the facility and everyone is positive and working hard for the benefit of the members. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to improve themselves both physically and mentally.

    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.

    BBC is a great place for a Training! It is clean, not crowded and my trainer, Taylor, is the best! She understands the surgeries and injuries I have had and what it will take to get me back to being a 100%. She is like having a personal trainer, physical therapist and a coach all in one, priceless!

    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.

  • 5/5 Molly M. 9 months ago on Google
    Honestly I really do look forward to my workouts every week. Everyone there helps you to have an environment that is judgment free and makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. Especially my trainers Rachel and Roy, both of them helped me make major progress and see results, this helped me to gain more confidence in myself as well. This place has been great to me and my family and I definitely will be back!

  • 5/5 Ron H. 8 months ago on Google
    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!

    I really wanted to approve my fitness and make my self stronger and this is the place to do it. You see so much improvement and progress in your mental and physical health through training here. The entire staff is just one huge family that show so much care for their clients. Nick Klein the CEO is very professional and has so much knowledge to share. I definitely recommend BBCT.

  • 5/5 Bill S. 9 months ago on Google
    Last year, I tried working out again after a long hiatus, and was constantly plagued with injuries. I then found Body by Choice Training (and the Hadley Clinic right next door). They understood the needs of my 40+ year old body, and I've had 3 months of pain-free training since. I highly recommend giving BBCT a chance, especially if you are middle-aged and looking to get in shape safely and effectively.

  • 5/5 Nicole A. 11 months ago on Google
    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 am forever grateful for this fitness journey and the personal training provided to me at BBCT!

    I started training at BBCT about 6 months ago and I cannot emphasize the magnitude of positivity that has since been reintroduced to my life as a result. The staff of BBCT offer a wealth of knowledge and will work with you to forge a program to achieve whatever goal(s) you are aspiring to accomplish in a healthy and safe manner. You can be a total beginner or an absolute fitness guru and I still believe BBCT would have something to offer you. Meanwhile, the facility has virtually every piece of fitness equipment under the sun so you'll always have options to add variety into your programming. Nathan Kendrick puts the personal in personal trainer - I always look forward to our sessions training together. His passion, devotion and commitment to his clients is unparalled and impossible to dismiss. Nathan has been and continues to be an outstanding resource both inside and outside of the gym. Nathan has kept me accountable to my goals while simultaneously being a professional, relatable and down to earth human.

    BBCT has great facilities. Beyond that, they do an excellent job in understanding the needs of your specific body and design a program to best suit you! They stick with you and ensure you are getting the maximum results.

  • 5/5 Travis M. 1 year ago on Google
    When I was ready to start making some changes in my routines, I knew I was going to need some help in figuring out how. I was fortunate enough to find BBCT and after my initial consultation, I realized that I had found a place that would help me. My trainer, Rachel L, has been wonderful to work with. After identifying my goals, we've created a plan and worked steadily to see improvement. She's friendly and supportive, and helps hold me accountable to our plan. All the staff at BBCT are supportive and friendly; definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Kristin E. 1 year ago on Google
    The personal trainers at BBC make you feel welcomed, I was nervous to try something new as I have never worked with a trainer before. Garrett and Nathan put all my nerves at ease, they demonstrate each exercise, course correct, motivate and coach during each session. Both are professional and I now look forward to training with them each week and reaching new goals. I feel so fortunate that BBC was recommended to me.

  • 5/5 Michael P. 11 months ago on Google
    BBCT is a first-class gym, and those that work here are amazing. They are here for you every step of the journey: nutrition, training, and recovery. Working with Roy Scarbrough was life-changing. I highly recommend him! Nick makes sure there is a plan available for everyone, and Tiffny provides awesome support for planning and explaining nutrition. This is the Gym and training services to choose!

  • 5/5 Zurina A. 1 year ago on Google
    I have received the best fascia therapy stretching. One-on-one with my therapist Garret is unique and so personalized. His is a very professional and attentive. BBC staff are very friendly and helpful. My knee is improving each visit. Very knowledgeable staff to identify for your needs and abilities. Great explanation of treatment and help with pinpointing problem areas as well as exercises to overcome issues. I would definitely recommend the BBC.

  • 5/5 Sara E. 1 year ago on Google
    Body by Choice Training is top notch. The equipment and facility is clean and in great shape. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Heather is my trainer and she is the best! She challenges me and is super supportive. When I joined 5 months ago, I wore a knee brace to work out - today, the knee brace is gone. I still have work to do to get my leg stronger but I am well on my way. Thank you!

    Fabulous experience with Lisa for personal training and Taylor for FST. I can't say enough good things about BBCT. They are so knowledgeable, but also supportive, and encouraging .You do not have to be a "workout person" to go here, they will meet you where you are and help you to meet your own fitness goals. I have less pain since going here, and feel really good about the whole experience.

  • 5/5 Carmen F. 1 year ago on Google
    Everyone at Body by Choice was so welcoming and friendly! I was nervous and intimidated not having much experience with weights or full body training but everyone made me feel right at home. My trainers Lisa & Brendan were amazing. It was a great experience, highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Karen W. 1 year ago on Google
    I am getting ready to start my 3rd session with my trainer Rachael Leach and I couldn't be happier. She aligns my workout to fit my goals of getting healthier, building strength and increasing muscle and she has done a great job of guiding me on this journey. She challenges me just the right amount so that I feel successful and excited about going every session. I would highly recommend BBCT and Rachel.

  • 5/5 Motif T. 1 year ago on Google
    BBCT Is amazing! The whole team is extremely professional and welcoming! Nick helped me train my way back from a running injury. I’m not only pain-free but happily running again and with more strength for the future.

  • 5/5 Romeo F. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the most confident I've felt about myself in the last five years. After just 12 weeks of working with the team at Body by Choice, I've accomplished several goals leading up to my wedding -- running in a 5K, feeling stronger every week, and most importantly, developing a mindset and lifestyle that prioritizes my health and wellness. I moved to the Grand Rapids area in 2021, and even though the drive is 30 min from home, I look forward to seeing an important part of my new community 3x/week. From Day 1, Nick's assessment demonstrated his knowledge of the human body and proved early on how comprehensive their programs are at BBCT. I train regularly with Carter and Lisa. They challenge me in the best ways possible and always know how to keep it interesting, with a progressive program that changes every three weeks to target different areas of the body. They've got amazing personalities, are great motivators, and I lean on them for support while sharing new goals that've come up while we've worked together. When training at other gyms before, I usually see just one person. BBCT provides everything you need to focus on your health and wellness, even beyond the gym. Every month, I see Tiffny, who helps with goal-setting and shares resources and tips to help achieve them. Because this is such a personal (and sometimes private) experience, she's offered a safe place to share my challenges and aspirations. I've also worked with Kolby, as a massage therapist, to help condition and prepare my body for the first 5K I've done in a very long time. In what could otherwise be an intimidating environment, everyone at BBCT -- both staff and fellow members -- has been welcoming and supportive (even those I don't work with wave and say hello to me by name). I'm so glad I found BBCT and already look forward to coming back after our honeymoon. There's so much more I want to do and accomplish with this talented team of people.

    Body By Choice Is truly that! The trainers are all professional, male and female. The atmosphere is fun and focused. Reaching your personal goals and beyond will happen! The staff takes the time to greet and interact with everyone that comes through the door. You will feel better when you leave having worked hard. What a great way to start…or finish your day!

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nick is a crazy knowledgeable trainer, the facilities are top notch, the regular email and text updates and info are solid, and I have loved the focus on building consistent and sustainable habits. I’ve dropped 25+ pounds in the last 4mo, am eating better, have better balance, and am the strongest I’ve been in 20 years. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Gene J. 1 year ago on Google
    In my second month at BBCT and couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made. Rachel is my trainer and she has been fantastic in tailoring my workouts to my current fitness level, and continuing to push me every session. I would recommend BBCT to anyone looking to reach and go beyond their personal fitness goals.

  • 5/5 Tom 1 year ago on Google
    I have been working with Nate Kendrick, the TPI certified trainer at BBCT for about 20 weeks now and, aside from being a great guy, the progressive workout regimen he has me doing has really been effective. No doubt has not only improved the muscles used in my golf swing but my everyday life movement has certainly been upgraded. Nate works you hard but keeps it light and makes going to the gym enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Thomas P. 2 years ago on Google
    I reached a point in my life that sustaining a healthy, active lifestyle required more than what I was able to properly research and develop on my own. I was looking for an organization that had the resources to not only develop an age appropriate work out program but could also provide me with nutritional guidance. Body By Choice has exceeded my expectations!! I believe Nick has assembled a very unique and knowledgeable team that is highly dedicated to their clients. Tiffny Harmon has done an excellent job of understanding my dietary needs and helping me develop a healthy, sustainable plan. I believe she has a very sincere passion, and ability, to help clients find the right plan that will would work regardless of lifestyle. Carter Stupyra has been my personal trainer for more than 3 months. Working closely with Nick, Carter developed a work out routine to meet what I need at this point in my life. I am very impressed with his knowledge, patience and ability to connect with his clients. His goal of helping me develop a healthy lifestyle is consistent at every session. His extremely positive attitude influenced me to continue on this journey. I recently signed up for another 12 sessions. As I transition into this next phase of age appropriate workout and health care I knew I would likely need to spend more time on reducing muscle tightness and improving flexibility. Dr. Scott Hadley (Hadley Clinic) has an office located within the BBC facility. His vast knowledge of anatomy and manual therapy, along with his ability to connect with his patients, is very impressive. After several sessions, Dr. Hadley was able to develop a routine for me that I believe is exactly what I need. I am excited to incorporate, what Dr. Hadley has taught me, into my daily fitness program. I highly recommend the team at Body By Choice to help you on your journey for a healthy lifestyle.

    My husband and I stumbled upon BBCT a few months ago and I could not be happier that we did! All of the trainers are phenomenal, friendly, and welcoming, but huge shout to Carter. Carter makes working out fun and makes you excited to show up every day! He does a great job of challenging you and is so encouraging every step of the way! The facilities are excellent! They have everything you would want or need at a gym and it is state of the art. The owner, Nick, is always very helpful and approachable. I would highly recommend! Do yourself a favor and check them out!
