I'm nearing my 150th class with Body Fit Training and cannot recommend BFT enough for the beginner or advanced athlete!
First, the Classes are incredible!!!!! I've tried many of the different Group classes and Gym Chains out there and BFT definitely has the best because of the sheer variety. Classes alternate between Cardio and Weightlifting. There is also a Balanced/Stretching class once a week, Run Club once a week, Core classes, Boxing/Kickboxing Classes and more. Additionally, if you are interested in tracking your heart rate and Zone training - they have all the latest technology available, Apps, Dashboards and Leaderboards to track your performance. Classes are always changing up the activities - so you are learning dozens of different exercises every week. So even if you just try BFT for a week or a month - you are going to add dozens if not hundreds of exercises to your inventory.
Second, MORE Activities! I also like BFT because they coordinate other fitness activities as if their group classes are not enough! There's a Run Club that meets every week and they also do races. Every quarter there is an "8 Week Challenge" which is a comprehensive 360 degree program that includes team and individual competitions, body composition analysis, nutrition plans, individual coaching, fitness benchmarks, social activities, specialized classes, and even prizes. They are also adding a HYROX training program which I'm very excited about. So I really like how BFT is always continuously improving, offering new programs and innovations all the time. You will never get bored. There is always something new.
Third, Coaches and Staff are incredible! There's always two and sometimes even more coaches on the floor so you always get plenty of individualized attention. You can ask questions anytime on technique, modifications, etc. The coaches are awesome - upbeat and energetic - even at the 5am classes! And persistent with your health goals .... I dropped out for a month because of my work schedule but Curtis - the co-owner would check up on me, other Coaches - Kailey and Angela would run into me - and got me back on track! Even while I'm writing this - Curtis just messaged me checking in on my nutrition planning! And they all bring their own specialties - Kailey the Runner and in charge of Run Club will motivate the Beginner to Advanced. Angela - runs the stretching classes and will hook you up with free Stretching sessions. Curtis - the legendary Athlete and Comedian of Australia - will have you cracking up during workouts with his jokes....while teaching you about Alexander Hamilton..... while teaching you proper exercise technique .... while trying to get you to sign up for the latest fitness challenge.... I kid you not....
Fourth, Community! BFT is different from any other group class in that you are often paired with one or more individuals. Or if you bring a friend or partner it's fun to pair up for all the activities. So in addition to the training, you meet a lot of incredible people, develop awesome friendships, and push each other. BFT also does regular social outings from coffee to baseball to bars - not to mention all the fitness group activities we do outside the Gym (Run Club, Hiking, Races, Community Fitness Programs, etc.).
Fifth, Facility and Equipment! You wont find a more comprehensive Gym in the city. BFT has every piece of equipment imaginable for the Beginner to the Advanced weightlifter. Whether you bench 10 pounds or 200 pounds - they have it! The facility is beautiful (2 blocks from the Harbor) and always immaculate. The water station is state of the art - I bring all my water bottles to fill for the day! :)
Anyways, I'm grateful to have found BFT. Nothing better to start your morning with a group of incredible people, incredible coaches, incredible classes, and challenging yourself with over a dozen incredible activities everyday! read more
