So much to say about my experience here at BBD. In a few short months I have felt connection with…read morethe other members, the trainers and through the workouts! Several years ago my family went through something very traumatic that left me holding on mentally for dear life. So physically I went downhill and gained a lot of weight. I tried other gyms and other trainers to help me out of my rut over the years. I tried many diets too. Nothing clicked. None of it helped physically AND mentally. It only seemed to help physically which would lead me in a downward spiral mentally after a few short weeks. BBD works with all ages and all athletic abilities. They require you to commit for the long haul. No more fads, no more trying to get skinny. It's about building a new and improved you from the inside out while also seeing physical results that follow. Fred has taught me a whole new way to workout that has given me so much more confidence than I thought possible. My only regret is not finding this place sooner! I cannot wait to see my wins a year from now! One workout at a time!!

BBD is the absolute best if you are looking for a gym that is inclusive of all ages, body types,…read moreand backgrounds. I have trained with trainers Ninette and Fred over the years. They really know their stuff especially when it comes to preventing injury and they work closely with you to modify the work out if you have preexisting injuries. This year I joined Fred's crew and he checked in frequently on my preexisting back and knee issues. We made sure to modify movements like lunges and dead lifts to movements that worked out the same muscle group but didn't aggravate my back and knees. Now that those muscle groups are much stronger I can do much more than I have ever been able to in the gym. The small group training format gives you the feel and attention of a personal trainer but is much more affordable. I moved away 3 years ago and when I came back I was at my heaviest I have ever been. BBD welcomed me back with open arms. I dropped a lot of weight, I feel better than ever, and I can't stop checking myself out in the mirror. I would give BBD 6 stars if I could.

Update! 22 months later... My son started Corespeed summer…read moreof 6th grade. He's now in 8th grade. Transformation did not happen over night. It took a lot of discipline for both of us, there were many days when he felt like he just wanted to nap or a break. Some days his asthma triggered bad but there's no excuse unless if he ran a fever. Mr. inhaler became his best friend. Consistency became a habit, we got results...his speed improved from 1.8 seconds to 1.69 seconds, he's now pushing 320lbs of pure weight and I am so blessed we found Corespeed!! Trust the process

I have been going to Sonia's Zumba classes for 6 weeks or so and love them! These are my Top Ten…read moreReasons I Love CoreSpeed & More with Sonia! 1) It gets me to lift weights that I otherwise would not do on my own 2) I get to keep up on toes and in rythm which i have not for more than a year. 3) It's totally reasonable when you sign up for a session 4) By signing up & paying for for a 6 week session, I've made a commitment to go so I'm much less likely to sit/fall asleep on the couch instead. (although she has arrangements for drop ins if that's your style) 5) It's a manageable commitment for a busy person as it's only 1 hour a day and it only takes me 5 minutes to get there! 6)Enjoy her playlist which she changes quit often which makes me more happy to dance for a new number. 7) It's great company. The classes are max 7 or 8, sometimes smaller, and generally all women. Lots of moms. Great conversation every time. 8) There's an on-line scheduler so it's easy to to check on your class for the day. 9) Sonia is a great person! 10) Sonia is an awesome trainer! Gives lots of variety in the workouts and offers lots of motivation to be a strong, healthy woman. Always pushes you. Happy workouts to all!

I've been to a lot of dance classes and countless Zumba classes and I know Zumba isn't always easy…read more However, I thought I had a pretty good grasp of it, until I tried Ana's class. Holy squats! Her class is high energy, fun, and challenging! This should not be a deterrent!! Ana is a wonderful instructor; she's passionate, motivating, and keeps you on your toes. She watches all the newbies to make sure everyone is doing well. She is very interactive and will go to you mid-dance to correct your form and cheer you on. I don't think I've ever had am instructor like her. What's even more impressive (crazy), she teaches 16 classes a week and she never seems tired! I've tried her Zumba class, her 90 minute Saturday Zumba, and her Zumba toning classes and they were all fantastic. I think I'll wait to try the Insanity class until I'm sure I won't pass out. I can't really walk after the toning class, but that's how I know I had a great work out! Classes are $5 drop in rate and $45 for a 10 class punch card (the punch card never expires!). Classes are: Zumba MW 9:30am, 5:30pm, 6:45 pm; Zumba Toning TTh 9:30am and 6pm; Zumba F 9:30am; Zumba Sat 9:30-11. I don't have the schedule so I don't know when Insanity is scheduled. If you've ever been curious about Zumba, give Ana's classes a try. You won't regret it!

The name of this place. Horrendous…read more... But pretty good gym for the price. The equipment selection is very vast. It's never insanely busy here even during lunch and after work hours. So you will always hone an area or machine freed up for you. My only complaints is that they blast booty rap really loud through the speakers. Like the loudest gym ever where you can barely hear the people at the front desk when speaking to them. Other times they will play butt rock which is just a tad more tolerable. Some may not survive without head phones. The men's bathroom is not the cleanest. Always smells. If you are a sauna user. It is also just mid. My other bigger complaint is that the heavy bags upstairs are unusable. They hung em on chains so high that they are pretty much unusable and they run into the ceiling frame. Kind of a safety issue on that part..... Other than that, better than most other gyms in this area of the price point

DONT GO HERE, shitty staff AND DIRTY. I'm a gym fiend, I…read morelike to go to the staples and try out what they got. Worst experience I've ever had with gyms. Don't even ask for trial passes and one week pass. Same price as the membership. This place is just trying to bleed you of money. They don't care about the gains like their name states. Day 1 when I tried signing up I arrived at 6am, stood at the front desk for nearly 20min with no one around. Turns out dude was in the restroom making TikTok's. Signed up, no tour, no info on the gym, no idea what he was even really doing. Day 15 I walked in to the gym, signed in. Walked past front desk, went to warm up and forgot my water bottle in my car. Went to grab it then came back in. While I was walking back in the front desk dude yelled with insane attitude "hey sign in" I replied I already did, maybe if you weren't on your phone looking down when I walked in the first time you would have known. I am all for understanding, but you raise your voice at me like that? Not my jam, but I kept it cool cause I just took some pre and figured I was just raging from the pre. But it pissed me off and ruined my lift for that day. Day 25 they don't seem to know which is a standard for their foam roles or straps. One person lent me the foam roles, another person required an item to check it out. I attended this gym for maybe 3 or 4 month and went right back to BigTex cause this gym sucked. They say 'Mecca' or whatever but this place is Mecca crap. Scummy management, save your money. Go to BigTex, MetroFlex or even Fitness Connect. Prices are similar. Loud music, and when I say loud you have noise canceling headphone on and you still hear their gyms music. Dirty! cleaning staff is there but somehow it's still nasty, dried sweat on the window for months on end. "Ohh it's busy" I drew an 8 on the door with my sweat and it stayed there for nearly a month. I'd rather be at metroflex with the weight outside in a barn basically. Restrooms never seem to be working properly, one of the showers is always running. Yet no one is in there. Haunted or busted water system? Final review it's a NEW gym but somehow feels like it's already 4 years old. Cool equipment, shitty staff, shitty management, shitty deals, shitty across the board. Yet they are EXPANDING and making ANOTHER gym? Focus on one make it awesome, then start another. Money grubbing at its finest

This woman is such a great listener and was able to tailor meal plans as well as workouts for me remotely. Her response time was almost immediate despite the time difference, and she went above and beyond our contract to make sure I was happy with the results. Her coaching has me living my best life even after our contract was up - looking forward to reaching out to her again for some prenatal fitness guidance!

I've improved not only my strength, but also my balance, stamina, and eating habits. When I started working with Sondra I had just finished my 3rd round of chemo. I had had breast cancer and several years later, uterine cancer. My diet had gotten really out of whack and I had gained about thirty pounds. In addition, my balance was terrible and I fell all the time. I had spent so much time in bed that I had very little strength or stamina. Our first year together was hard and I didn't always look forward to training. But I liked Sondra and actually began to enjoy our workouts! At first, I wasn't used to being challenged that way and I had gotten lazy. But something in me wanted to get stronger and fitter. I wanted her to be proud of me. I missed some workouts, but I kept at it. Today I'm not the same person. I look forward to workouts, and because Sondra is so knowledgeable, she knows how to keep me engaged. Now I hate to miss a session! I've lost all the weight I'd put on and am so much stronger and fitter, with better endurance. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe. I like the way I look and feel and I can do so much more than I once could. I plan to keep training with her. I think Sondra is the best! I recommend her unreservedly.

I found Jesse to be very knowledgeable about form and technique, and super passionate about his craft. His passion is contagious! A good trainer is more than what they know. How they communicate that knowledge is equally important and that's where Jesse shines. He communicates in a way that's approachable and leaves you feeling motivated to go further. You can tell right away Jesse cares about his clients and that shows in the way he's able to meet you exactly where you're at. If you've ever wanted to hire a personal trainer, but are worried the experience might be intimidating, look no further. Jesse wants you to succeed and helps you to do so in a way that feels right to you. He knows how to simplify difficult movements to make them easier if you're not there yet, or make them more challenging when you're ready for it. He will challenge you to do your best, but knows that everyone is at a different level. You can't teach that or learn that from a book--that's who he is. Jesse is a great human being and a great person to train with. You won't regret working with him .
