Pros: Motivating, knowledgeable, affordable, engaging, location, flexibility Cons: Addicting, exhausting :) My fitness journey kicked into high gear in July 2015 when I hired V to help me reach the next level in my pursuit of a healthier me. Since then, I've seen V for 30 minute sessions 2-4 times per week. After doing extensive internet research on various gyms and personal trainer studios, I decided to give V a shot based on previous Yelp reviews and his medical background. I've had a series of serious health issues over the past 2 years ranging from herniated discs to early onset osteoporosis and it is critical for me to find someone who is extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy and isn't just focused on slinging weights. What my workouts are like with Dr. "V" Maurya Every workout is unique, motivating, and geared toward maximizing every minute to gain maximum results. The workouts are grueling but he's always right there, doing them with me which is a great internal motivator and sure beats someone screaming or yelling at me. I really appreciate that V listens to me when certain exercises need modification and he always seems to know when to push me to give 'just another 10 seconds' when I'm close to giving up. I'm so happy with the results I've experienced with V alongside the reduction in daily pain I used to suffer through, before working with V. read more

V is probably one of the best trainers you can get in Atlanta, especially for the price. You can schedule workouts from 30 minutes to an hour (depending on your skill level, not how much you want to do in one day), and V will meet with you once or multiple times a week. I'm 25 years old and have a generally good BMI, but I recently moved back to Atlanta and needed someone to help me get back into shape, stay cognizant of my fitness, and set new goals for myself. In the ten weeks (once a week workouts) I've worked with V, I've gained more endurance and seen increases in strength. V will push you from the beginning, but the workouts are varied and V will never make you do anything you absolutely can't do. When you're having trouble, he will recommend ways to make the exercise more doable, and always encourages you to keep going. His workouts are usually based in quick circuits, and will always work out a few different muscle groups. Also, V is a very knowledgeable trainer and can tell you anything you want to know about working out on your own, eating right, and generally staying healthy. I would highly recommend V to anyone else, for his skill-set, for the price of the sessions, and for the efficiency in half-an-hour. I'm moving up to twice a week sessions and will be with V for the foreseeable future. read more

I am tickled to death to have V. as my personal trainer. Although sometimes I complain that he is "trying to kill me," I couldn't be more satisfied at the progress we are making. I am 64 years of age and have osteo-arthritic knees. Although not morbidly obese, I can stand to lose 10 - 15 lbs. Also, I'd had spent years working on getting out of shape and could not, for the life of me, get myself into the gym to do something about it. That is, until I discovered V back in April. When we started three months ago, I couldn't even stand up from a sitting position because of my knee affliction, and I couldn't take a single step on a riser without excruciating knee pain. V has been very careful to tailor my workouts to my specific need and we have done knee concentrations, and have also worked on other body parts. I told him I want Michelle Obama arms at the end of all this and so we've been working on arms as well. Currently, I can do 20 repetitions of standing from a seated position and I can to 20 step-ups, even while holding weights. Although this doesn't seem like much for someone with healthy knees; for me, it's a miracle, and I owe it all to V! Long story short, I highly recommend him. V ROCKS!! read more

I have been training with V for almost 4 months. What makes me a unique client is that I'm a T3 paraplegic. So I'm very limited on the number of exercises I can perform adequately for strong workout. Do to V's experience as a trainer and his medical knowledge we were highly productive starting from the first session. With past trainers it has taken a few weeks to tailor a routine, but not with V. He immediately understood my limitations and optimized a routine that reflects his training style. My results have been significantly noticeable. Shoulders, chest and biceps have filled out nicely and he has helped me overcome barriers with other sets of muscles. I'd highly recommend V. His approach and temperament can fit any client's needs. He is reliable and keeps timely appointments. 5 star - because he can train clients with high fitness levels to those with significant disabilities. I look forward to each session. Thanks V! read more

As probably millions of humans around the globe, I made a New Year resolution to get "back" in shape. I am an ex-semi-professional dancer who is currently an office worker with lots of business trips. I do remember my lean trained body! I made an experience of having a very renowned personal trainer earlier (6 month ago), but I wasn't really satisfied. So I googled the "best personal trainer in Atlanta", and received "Body by V" as a result. I can only confirm my decision. Vaibhav is a super creative, very individual and very determined trainer. I have experienced very rapid results in both weight loss and strength gain in no time. In fact, together with V I have accomplished so many exercises I haven't been capable of accomplishing before. I find him being very knowledgeable, very [very] motivating trainer who is capable of bringing the best of his trainees and who truly cares. read more

Let's be clear: I'm not the biggest fan of working out. Brunch, going to the spa, and traveling are my ideas of fun - BUT - I've come to the point where I want to feel and look my best. So can we get a round of applause for V? Seriously, he's so good at keeping my attention, safely pushing me, and offering compassion to someone who is new to training and working out consistently. His workouts are very intentional and focused on your goals. I love that he maximizes the time, and I'm dripping sweat in 30 minutes. V, thank for you being so committed, professional, creative, and dedicated to my success! I have become so much stronger and am excited to continue! read more

If you're looking for a trainer to challenge you, then V is your guy. After 2.5 years of essentially no real exercise due to a torn hip labrum, I was ready to get my health into shape. Along with my husband, we've been seeing V about 3 times a week for almost 3 months. Our energy and heart rates have vastly improved, and we look forward to each work out (V, don't read that line because then you'll push us harder!!). Each day is different and challenging, and V typically will join you in the workout (usually by the time we see him he's done about 2-3 workouts and then he still participates in our session!). I wish we had found him sooner! read more

My boyfriend and I have been working out with V for a few months now and I can't give V a high enough rating. He knows what he is doing and really listens to us, tailoring each exercise to our needs and wishes for our bodies. He's a great motivator and always makes sure to push us to our very best at each workout. He's never made us feel uncomfortable, even when we had to modify an exercise, he's always super positive and uplifting. Within a few short months I am starting to see major results and am excited to keep moving forward. I will suggest V as a trainer to any and everyone who is in the market, simply awesome! read more

Amazing trainer! I started working with V after a minor car accident. I had never been big on the gym and generally had no idea what I was doing when it came to weights but that all changed when I started working with V. V's knowledge of the human body and great attitude got me back to running. V is always on time, super responsive to calls and texts and makes sure that you get the best work out in the time period you choose. If you are not at all experienced, like I was, or alternatively if you want to continue to achieve and surpass fitness goals, go to V. read more

Been a client for a year for primarily strength training and muscle growth. One of my favorite things about V's training is he takes time to explain what muscles I'm activating, why, and how it should look and feel when done properly. He is careful to correct minor errors. V has also provided limited nutritional advice, which is helpful for someone who finds it difficult to gain/lose weight. Finally, every session is different, which keeps it interesting. I would recommend V to anyone who needs an encouraging trainer and help learning a variety of exercises. read more

My wife and I have been working out with V for about a year, and we have enjoyed every bit of it. After getting to know him, we wouldn't want anyone else. We usually meet with V in the morning, and he is just as motivated a year later as he was on day one. His workouts will involve both cardio and strength training, but the best part of it all is that he will cater the workouts to whatever you want. He continues to push you throughout the workout even if you feel like you want to give up. V's overall goal is to meet your overall goals. read more

I have worked out on my own for several years and I can definitely say that training with V has been the best way for building up my strength and endurance. He is enthusiastic and professional. Our workout sessions are very productive and efficient. No time is wasted and the price-quality relationship is very good. Only after 3 weeks I could already notice the results. V pushes me to higher limits than ever before. I honestly recommend V as a very professional personal trainer. It really works, but get ready to suffer a bit as well! read more

My husband and I have been training with V for the last few months and we absolutely love it! We have very different fitness goals and workout styles, and V has been very accommodating. His workouts are always challenging and different - you are never bored! His medical background makes him unique and gives you a different perspective. He is always willing to work within your schedule and super friendly every time we workout with him. I would recommend V to anyone, no matter their level of fitness! read more

I've been working out with V for about a month now, and I am hooked! Like other reviewers have mentioned, you are going full force from the moment you start until you finish. And each time I think I'm not going to make it at some point, V keeps pushing me and makes me realize just how much I'm capable of. Really great workouts, and he mixes it up each time so I am never bored and always challenged. I already have so much more energy each day, and look forward to continuing to see results. read more

V is an excellent trainer and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He really listens to what you want and creates great and challenging work out plans taking into account your fitness/skill level and that target the areas where you want to see improvement. I also have lots of old sports injuries that like that to flare up every now and then. V is always willing to work around whatever issues I'm having to make sure I get a great workout. If you got to V, you will see results!!! read more

I have been working with V for at least 6 months, and have never enjoyed working out more. I am always shocked how fast the 30 minutes goes, as you are working so hard you lose track of time. His workouts are fun yet challenging and never the same. Finally, a workout routine that doesn't bore me. We get more accomplished in 30 minutes than I ever did myself in an hour and a half. He is prompt, professional, and truly an excellent trainer. I highly recommend! You won't regret it. read more

V is absolutely amazing! Every workout is different and challenging so my body is constantly adapting and not getting used to the same old thing. V is always willing to adjust workouts to your needs as well. He motivates you while pushing you to do better each workout. I've been coming to V for 3 days a week for almost 3 months and feel amazing! I have more energy and am losing body fat while building muscle! I'm very happy I've found V to help me reach my fitness goals! read more

I signed up and pre-paid for 36 sessions with V last summer and plan to do even more. V was very flexible in his schedule and always had a well-planned out and organized routine for each of my visits. The 30 minute workouts were rigorous and thorough. I felt great, looked better and most importantly, improved my overall health thanks to V. I would highly recommend V as a private fitness instructor and plan to enroll with him again in the near future. read more

V is a fantastic trainer who's able to identify weaknesses and improve on them immediately. He varies every workout with a great mixture between weight training as well as cardio while focusing on getting you into the best overall shape possible (unfortunately that means plenty of leg days haha). Definitely recommend him if you're looking to get into great shape, and his medical background is a major plus if dealing with any health complications. read more
