A long time fan and customer of BodySpec. I used to go to the Broadway location and was super…read moreexcited when Union St opened -- very close to my gym and home. The two techs in here are fabulous, they are efficient, friendly, warm, professional and clearly very passionate about health and wellness. They genuinely care and make for a really positive experience. My small feedback on where BodySpec (corporate) could improve is that they seem to have switched policies and it's unclear from their comms and marketing that you lose the credit if you can no longer make the appointment. That and their customer support team (email and phone) is VERY slow / unresponsive and a 180 from the warmth and professionalism of the techs in Union St!

I know that a lot of people lose weight on this program. I'm not one of those people…read more This was my experience: 1. Administrative. Less than stellar. Lost my paperwork. Took forever to be accepted, onboarded to the program. Miscommunications were frequent. Lab results were a mess and took forever to complete. Sometimes the office manager as abrupt and unprofessional. My first meal replacement was incorrectly sent. I received eight boxes of Vanila powder. 2. Support is essentially worthless. It's hard to reach these people. They have weekly 'support' groups and the first one I attended was about weight loss drugs. Less about support and more of an info system. 3. Communication. The program has a ton of rules, information and processes you need to follow. The doctor throws all this at you the first time you meet. There is so much information it's essentially overwhelming. 4. The program itself is powder drinks for weeks till you lose the weight. This in and of itself seems no healthier than a 1960's Slim Fast plan. This plan is essentially 800 calories a day of powdered drinks. Much like preparing for colonoscopy. Transitioning from eating double burgers and fries with 9pm desserts to berry flavored powder drinks is quite the change and needs to be very hands on support. I did not find that support through all the red tape. At one point early in the diet I was lightheaded with my blood pressure racing. I sent a note to the doctor, and she replied that I should have called the emergency line. What emergency line....... Clearly this was one of the 147,000 items referenced quickly on my first call with the doctor or embedded in the manual they provide you. Which was not very clearly put together. In the end I reached out to to the doctor assigned to me and stated that this program was not going to work for me. She said, "I will let the staff know". I told this story to my husband and he was shooked at the response. He said, "you shold tell the doctor that she said that". I said to him......."I was talking to the doctor......". And that was my experience. My recommendation: if you need anything more than minor support on this abrupt transition from poor eating habits to a powder drink diet, this is not the place for you.

I have been a customer with expectations "way beyond exceeded" since February of this year (2015)…read more I believe my personal results speak most effectively: I lost 88 lbs in 7 months and have stayed within 5 lbs of my goal (above and below) since then. My medical condition has improved radically across the board and I feel great with plenty of energy all the time. For example, I can now run a 10K in under an hour (as of a few days ago) whereas I could not run at all when I started. I could NOT have done this without the absolutely perfect and expert medical supervision and guidance of Anita Demas, MD (incredibly smart, perceptive, and responsive) and her highly professional support team, along with the superstar clinical psychologist and behavioral modification coaching from Bill Hartman, PhD (he literally has decades of real, in-depth clinical expertise in this specific field) - everything they do is done to the highest standards; this includes the quality of their private label meal replacement products, as well as their coordination / communications back and forth with my primary care physician. This approach is neither cheap nor easy (but then, neither is living with obesity...seriously- think about that), however it is by far the safest, fastest, and most effective weight management approach I am aware of - I recommend it without reservation for anyone truly committed to and motivated about losing a serious amount of weight.

I was genuinely excited to start this program. After investing in countless coaches and courses, I…read morewas ready to finally put an end to all the second-guessing and commit to a plan tailored specifically for me. I enrolled in the self-paced program after doing my research and seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews. In hindsight, not meeting anyone on video beforehand and relying solely on text communication was a mistake on my part. After taking the initial quiz, I guessed my body type and was assigned a coach who shared that same type. I followed the program precisely for six weeks and saw no results after the first week. Only then did I learn I'd been placed in the wrong program for the wrong body type. I was reassigned to one of the founders, who reviewed my case and matched my correct type. Another 2-3 weeks went by with zero progress, even after overhauling my routines yet again. I even paid extra for their Tier 2 service, with no changes or signs of improvement. I did everything that was asked of me: 15,000 steps a day, consistent powerlifting, hydration, structure, and discipline, yet nothing changed. Instead, my lack of progress was attributed to mindset, quantum physics, and somatic blocks. I'm trained in trauma-informed care and have spent years doing deep somatic and therapeutic work. I fully understand the mind-body connection. But when a program cannot deliver results, shifting the responsibility back onto the client feels dismissive and unfair. Ultimately, it felt like the blame was placed on me when my coach no longer knew how to support my case which is exactly why I hired them in the first place. While I appreciate receiving a $750 refund for the Tier 2 upgrade, I am still left having spent $1,500 on a self-paced program that did not work for me. This is simply my experience. Be thoughtful, do your research, and I truly hope your results are better than mine.

Before working with them I used to question and try every diet, fad, and workout program. I was…read morebasically trying to piece meal my way through ALL the conflicting info out on the internet and Instagram, and was so frustrated with my lack of consistent progress, even though I used to work so hard to try to eat right and workout every day to try and make my body composition and strength goals. Now, I have full clarity and confidence to know what to eat, when, and how much eat and workout to accomplish my body and athletic goals- in any and every circumstance!!! I did all of this all while traveling the world. That peace of mind, confidence, and increased self love I now have for myself is freaking invaluable. And I credit all of that to me working with Green Door Life. I lost fat, gained muscle, toned and built my overall body, and even lost cellulite- I didn't even know that was freaking possible, since I've worked to lose my cellulite for the last 15 years!! And, I did all of this while traveling through 8 different countries and living nomadically full time. I've completed the 12 week nutrition group program and some 1:1 coaching, I'm not trying to overstate this in anyway - it has literally changed my life. This isn't a quick fix or some fad, their courses and coaching is revolutionary to your whole life moving forward. The coaching around food and nutrition is expansive not restrictive. They give you the fundamental deep knowledge and psychological support needed in order to make any situation, any country, and basically any restaurant or food navigable for your goals. What I love about their coaching style is they make you self sufficient and empowered. There is no ongoing sales cycle and unlike other coaching programs, they don't make you feel you need them to keep your gains. I have a completely different and loving relationship to my body, the way I view and eat food is informed and fun, and my daily behaviors and internal throughs are so different and aligned for who I am becoming more of each day, and who I want to be, than how I was when I started the program. I highly recommend working with Green Door Life through their different courses and coaching. I am going to do their upcoming Awaken your Cycles and Strength courses as well, because the amount of value and life changing outcomes I get from them and their courses is literally worth 10x the amount they are priced.

What a scam! I joined Jumpstart MD ( Laurel Heights) due to a suggestion from a friend, who…read moreadmittedly never used the program itself. Well why not try it? They promise miracles and l was desperate (but not as desperate, or naive, as they thought) to shift 15lbs. Before they meet with you, you must fill out an extensive questionnaire about your medical history which is a good thing. But, that was the last professional aspect of the program l encountered! l was informed to arrive 15 minutes early to check in, which l did. However, when l arrived, the door was unlocked, but they were closed for lunch. Huh? I entered the waiting room and encountered a very young, 20-something petulant kid who snarled at me as l was early. I tried to ask her a question, but she curtly replied that it was lunch time and she couldn't talk to me! lt made me feel extremely uncomfortable! Unfortunately, the same petulant, non- medically trained kid was to be my advisor. It was a red flag! She quickly recommended Mounjaro. I was a bit open to it, but very reluctant. I wasn't about to go on this lifelong medication without checking with my PCP who strongly advised against it as l am neither obese nor diabetic. My next meeting was a telehealth session with a hormone specialist. More bad advice! I had my thyroid removed as a teenager due to benign tumors. I have been on Synthroid for decades. The therapist suggested l switch to a desiccated pig formula ( due to T3 inclusion). However, my very informed PCP was just stunned! Nope! Not a good idea! The last straw came when l met with a so-called nutritionist. This was a joke! She suggested what was essentially a ketogenic diet. Not only was l expected to keep my carb intake below 30g per day, but to increase my fats and sodium intake. WTF! Did you even bother to read my medical history which was clearly laid out in the intake questionnaire? Obviously not! I have high blood pressure, so no, l am not willing to take in more sodium. I also have familial hyperlipidemia, so no, I was also not willing to increase my fat intake! My research (and l am a researcher) clearly demonstrated that any carb intake under 150g is considered a keto diet. So these so-called medical professionals at Jumpstart MD ( and l take the MD part with a grain of salt) were setting me up for medical disaster with possible medical consequences! Just avoid this scam of a business ( not a medical practice, but a money-earning venture) if you value your health. My pharmacist is convinced that they are getting financial kickbacks from the semaglutide drug companies. Finally, if you do decide to cancel your membership, you will still receive multiple texts from them despite unsubscribing multiple times! It feels like harassment! So, make your own judgement, but proceed with caution. And, l urge you to discuss any of Jumpstart's recommendations with your physician before jumping on Jumpstart's money making bandwagon!

One of the counselors didn't know any of the answers to my questions. Certainly not worth the $199 I paid as my monthly membership fee. There is a pervasive environment of up-selling, which I find oppressive and cloying. I canceled because my physician does not want me to take anything from a compounding pharmacy, as they are not trustworthy and I switched to a major pharmaceutical house brand because of the quality of their research for my maintenance. I must say that even during the phone call I made to cancel, the customer service representative tried even then to sell me different products and services. Is there no respite?
