I've always struggled on the track of my personal fitness journey, but this is the first gym where I wake up excited to go in and train. "Define your strong" is not just a slogan - the trainers at Bodies by Burgoon really work with everyone to help them reach whatever goals they want to achieve. The group training format is a great way to surround yourself with a supportive group of peers who are all ready to cheer you on. It also provides an accessible alternative to a one-on-one approach without sacrificing the tailoring in your program. There is no pressure or expectations related to your looks - this place is all about helping you feel confident and finding strength in the ways that matter to you. It is clear that Jason is passionate about helping people be their best selves. He approaches every session with a team mindset and makes it clear that you're not on this journey alone. His warm enthusiasm creates a really inviting atmosphere in the gym, and he makes it a point to get to know every client on a personal level. On top of this, Jason has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and is prepared to work with you to meet you wherever you're at in your journey. He's also not afraid push you to reach new heights and will remind you of your achievements when you're feeling the struggle. This truly is a gym for everyone from any fitness background. read more

This gym, both the coach and the other gym goers, are truly something special and unique. Jason really is the top-tier when it comes it gym coaches. You're not going to find anyone else that matches his knowledge, passion, and genuine love and kindness that he shows all his clients. He has an astonishing ability to remember each and every clients individual needs to the point he seems to know more about your body than you do some days. Jason has curated a special place that anyone, regardless of skill or experience level, are welcome and celebrated. He makes it a high priority to keep it this way, ensure gym goers never have to worry about being judged or bullied. Unlike traditional gyms, or even traditional gym group classes, you come in and work along with anywhere from 1-3 others to as many 6-7, but all focusing on your own individual workout. Jason seamlessly bounces around the gym space, directly and helping where he's needed. All this, and the rates are extremely affordable and generous. Jason treats this clients as people first and profit second, which is something I've never experienced elsewhere. Cannot recommend Jason enough, he and his gym are the gold standard! read more

I don't normally write reviews but this place is a MUST!!! I've never felt comfortable at a gym until I came here. They pride themselves in providing a judgement free atmosphere where all are welcome. They have trainers who personalize your experience to cater to your needs whether you are just starting out or an avid gym enthusiast. They are fun and charismatic ensuring you have an incredible and enjoyable experience. I previously dreaded working out and now I drive 35 minutes each way and can't wait until tomorrow!!! Stop thinking and go. You won't regret it! read more

Totally enjoy working with Jason as my personal trainer and the personalized workouts are effective. It's also great working out at a gym with other clientele who value being in community with other people with similar goals for wellness and building strength to maintain a healthy lifestyle! read more

Bodies By Burgoon - Trainers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

See all

I've been training here for six years. With time I've seen staff, programs and equipment come and go. There are a few constants that keep me coming back, the caliber of staff and the community. Ive always ever done the small group training which I can't recommend enough, to anyone of any skill level. It's not a formula I see that often for weightlifting at other gyms. For me the sessions are a magical combination of just enough personalized attention that you need for weightlifting but the fun of a group class. The vibes? Immaculate. It can be as social or not social as you'd like, as intense or not as intense as you'd like. I've always appreciated how the staff takes our goals and intentions seriously, no matter what they are (I want to compete vs. I just want to get out of the house. Both valid!). The staff are top tier and genuinely good people. If you don't care for fitness science, they don't mind. But if you do, they'll be very excited to answer your questions and send you home with things to do. These people are absolute nerds about fitness. The staff's engagement with the latest science means the programs and approaches are always evolving. As a client I really appreciate that. It keeps things interesting, yes, but also their willingness to accept new findings and adjust is big a marker of success in my book. I feel like it could be so easy to get complacent in how you train, but that's never been the case here. By nature of showing up anywhere consistently for six years I've gotten to know so many people in the small group trainings, as familiar to me as my coworkers. So many friendships and networks established, it's helped me feel connected to my community. When I notice new clients training when I'm in, I'm really stoked for them that they will get to experience this, too! read more

I've had personal trainers before and I have to say that this is by far the best experience! I was referred by a friend of mine and this is the first time I've actually had a trainer constantly correct my form, push me harder, and knows exactly what they are talking about. Within a week of training, I was already able to tell a difference in my appearance, posture, and form. Would highly recommend! read more

Jason has been my trainer for almost 3 years and he still keeps it fresh. The whole gym is wonderful. I also will work with Aldon, who is great at keeping me challenged. Don't come here if you are looking for a bunch of show and not much content. This is definitely a leave your ego at the door type of place, which is why it is so great. read more

This past summer I was going to be out of town for my husband's work, for 2 straight weeks. I was concerned that being on vacation and away from Bodies by Burgoon and Torque Cycling was going to be a set back for me. I had finally achieved a rhythm with eating healthy and exercising and was seeing results. I started talking to the team about what I could do and researching gym options out of town. I found out that virtual training was an option here and jumped at the chance to give it a try. The only equipment I had available was a couple small hand weights and resistance bands but I was assured that was all I needed. And they were right. One wall sit in and a few resistance band bi-cep curls with alternating mountain climbers, my heart rate was up and the workout was pushing me until the end. I got to pick which days I wanted to train (I did 6 times in 2 weeks) and by that morning, the trainer working with me would pop in the workout to the app for that day. This held me accountable just like making an appointment does at Bodies by Burgoon. If I had questions on what a piece of the workout was, there were pictures to demonstrate but I also emailed a question or two over the couple weeks and got a response back right away. This felt supportive and that sense you get when in the gym, that people are for you and want you to be successful. While I hoped that I wouldn't gain weight while gone, I was really unsure if eating out more and being away from the gym was going to sabotage my progress. What I didn't expect was to actually lose weight while I was gone, but I did. I was thrilled being down 3 more pounds after being on vacation! While we enjoyed food and wine more than we would normally, having my workout rhythm stay the same gave me the desire to make good choices overall. Virtual training helped me stay the course and was probably the first time in my life I realized exercise was now something I needed and wanted, not something I felt I "should" do. There's a difference. I have no fear about traveling anymore because I know there are options and truly no excuses. read more

My son and I have been working out at BBB for over a year now and every time I go, it lifts my spirits. We would not have been able to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu w/ out the strength that we got from working out at BBB. Jason, Alden, and Dawn are so inspiring, kind, passionate and funny! BBB will always be a part of my life. read more

This is a 5-Star gym! The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable, and best of all, they truly want to see you succeed! They will listen to your personal fitness objectives and they will help you to achieve them. You will not be disappointed! read more

What can I say about Jason and his crew at Bodies by Burgoon? I found them after watching a news segment about Torque Cycling (which is part of Bodies by Burgoon). I was a long time member of a giant gym (whose name I won't mention but it rhymes with Knife Grime) and I was always too scared to venture into the weight lifting area. I met Jason and instantly felt comfortable and confident in his abilities. I started working out once a week with Jason and eventually also worked with Aldon, Brianna, and James. All of them are wonderful - friendly, encouraging (without being annoying cheerleaders), and highly skilled. They all bring something a little bit different to the table and it's all good things. I'm definitely stronger and in better shape than I was before I started working out with them. The space is warm and welcoming which can be difficult to achieve at a gym. Dawn and/or Jaime are always there to greet you and ask how you are. They are never pushy - they've never once tried to "sell" me anything. They're real, they're smart, and they keep me coming back for more! read more

To say the level of service that BBB provides is more than just a place to work out is an understatement. Client for 3 years now, reasons I stay: 1. You're family- not just a paycheck walking through the door. They care about you as a person, not just your physical health. They take the time to make the connection. And the other clients start to become apart of your family, too- the small nature of of the gym really allows for no more than about 12 people at a time. You get to know the faces you see week after week. 2. Unrelenting support - the BBB team is there to hold your hand as you set fitness or nutrition goals and pursue them. They make your goals, their goals. Or- ya know, they are also there if you need to punch something, get a good cry in, share some happy news... the ups and the downs! 3. The level of service- it's a small, well educated team, not just a bunch of meatheads in polos that have the job only because they like to work out. Their knowledge of how the human body works, and how to apply it your workouts and nutrition is, genuinely, one of my favorite things about the experience they provide. read more

Bodies by Burgoon and Torque Cycling are amazing. The workouts are always intense, but if you need a modification they know exactly what to do and still challenge you. I always feel great after working out with Jason, Aldon or Brianna. Nothing is as awesome as fist bumping after a great session. And the cycling classes are amazing. I look forward to each one - Matt, Jen and Lisa all have different energy and I get something great from each one of them. I seriously think Jen is the reason for a lot of the great glutes at that place! The other thing is how awesome the people are there - from Dawn and Jamie to all the clients. Everyone is encouraging and fun to be around. read more

NO CLOCKS. NO MIRRORS. NO JUDGEMENT. - only effort What If I were to tell you that there is a place where you can work out where you are actually listened to. And what if i say that this magical place is run by strong people with kindness deep in their DNA; who will work WITH you to accomplish YOUR goals. People who teach and cajole and guide and and sweat and laugh right along with you. What if I say YOU will be somebodies inspiration. It's true! All of these people at this place, each with their own goals, their own stories. You may not even know all of the lives you touch. For me - I could not believe how much I relaxed when I did not have to catch my reflection out of the corner of my eye. I am not sure when I realized that I was physically strong and capable. I love this place. NO EGOS. NO HATERS. NO PRETENDERS. - only effort read more

This place is life-changing; it is a community and not just a place people go to work out. People of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, passions and goals are welcomed with open arms. The commonality is simply the desire and willingness to work on getting stronger. Jason, Aldon, James and Brianna are incredible humans and will support you firstly and push you in exactly the right ways. I joined a little over 2 years ago and it has been the best chance I think I've ever taken. read more

I have so many friends whose lives have been deeply impacted by the wholistic approach BBB takes a to exercise, health and eating right. Living across the country I was the first to raise my hand when I learned they offered virtual training. I wasn't sure what to expect, but knew I wanted to be a part of the Burgoon family! Initially I was looking for greater accountability when working out and helpful suggestions for a healthier lifestyle. Here is what I received: - a nutritionist who reviews my food logs each week - weekly food goals that are achievable - tailored workouts - someone who understands my body and is actively interested in helping my achieve my goals - a wealth of food knowledge - accountability in the form of support and encouragement I can't say enough good things about Bri, the trainer I have been working with. I was a little nervous at first as I have never worked with a trainer. I imagined someone strict and inflexible, who would set unattainable goals. My experience has been the opposite...and the results of my sessions are starting to show. I feel better, I'm fitter and I've even lost a few pounds! The biggest surprise for me is how much I have learned about how my body processes food. I feel like I'm at the beginning of a very cool journey. This is going to stand out as one of the best things I did for myself this year. read more

I started at Bodies one year ago. I was looking for a community to get healthy with. I found myself alone at big gyms and not motivated to go as I was just another face in a crowd. Then I found Bodies By Burgoon. It was everything I was looking for and more. Community, healthy, no judgment, encouraging and FUN. Yes I said fun. I may get my butt kicked by the trainers, but I always leave with a smile on my face. I love going weekly and working on my personal goals alongside people focused on their individual goals. Everyone is encouraging and the group training is never more than 4 people, so it still feels very individualized. I truly appreciate that Jason Burgoon spent 1:1 time with me before throwing me in to the group mix. He understood my goals and where my head was at. The trainers each get to know you and the other members do too. I am so glad that this gym is a place I can easily get to after work so I can stay committed to my health and supporting them the way they support me. Bonus: Tattersall Distillery is right next door so you can grab a drink after if you like. Warnings: its located in the back of the building so you can not see it from the street - go around back. Parking can be tough thanks to Tattersall, but it always works out! read more

Update: Along with loving the gym and the trainers-I started doing the Food tracking with Brianna. Yes, it was harder than I imagined and at times I had to force myself to do it but in the end I ended up losing 12 pounds and going down 1 dress size. I am super grateful to Brianna for all of her help and encouragement. She gave me the tools to change my eating habits, reasons why one food was better for me than the other and never once shamed me or made me feel bad if I slipped up. It was very helpful and encouraging and now I feel like I can track my food on my own and continue my success because I was given the tools to do so! read more

When I started going here, I didn't work out and hadn't been to the gym for a long time. The first few weeks were awkward (as I'm an introvert) - but after about a month, I really enjoyed it. There are people of all fitness levels and ages. The trainers are patient and motivating. They provide a lot of tips that help outside of the gym. Scheduling is super easy and Dawn at the front desk is always helpful and welcoming. The other members are welcoming too. It's a better atmosphere than other gyms I've been to and I've stuck with it longer than I have other gyms. I lost 15 pounds and went down 2 pant sizes in 2 months. It seemed slow going at first - but it was/is working! read more

This place! Best personal training gym in Minneapolis. With a kick ass indoor cycling studio above it. Looking to define what strong means to you?

You will too. read more

I have absolutely loved Torque Cycling. I've attended 4 classes now and I can't get enough of the energy and motivation I get when I'm there. The atmosphere of the classroom itself is enough to get you going and coming back. Combine that with the energetic instructors and you will be hooked! I only wish they were closer to where I live but so worth the drive! read more

I've been a member at Bodies By Burgoon (BBB) for over 3 years. It has been one of the best things that has happened to me. Within BBB not only did I find great trainers, I found a community of supporters, friends and motivators. I found a safe place that I can call my happy place. A place to relieve my stress and become the better version of myself. Training with Jason and Aldon has been an incredible experience. They have helped me discover pieces and strengths of myself that I never knew existed. They have also been extremely patient with me and lifted me during times where I felt like giving up. They have never judged me or shamed me for being human. If anything I appreciate their ability to show that they are also human. BBB has also helped me realize that being healthy and fitness are not about losing weight and being skinny. It about Holistic Wellness and finding a healthy lifestyle balance between life and yourself. Even though the prices are very manageable, I was like everyone else and I thought I couldn't afford it. But, once I started to notice the difference not only in how I looked but how I felt , physically, mentally and emotionally, I began to minimize my leisure spending (eating out, drinks, shopping, etc) and made it a priority to budget for my BBB sessions because I knew it was an investment in myself that I would never regret. read more
