I just moved to the area and really wanted to try out crossfit to get back into shape. I wanted to…read moremake sure I was picking a gym out that was right for me so I went to a few crossfit gyms around college station and Bryan and I noticed a similarity with all of those places. Some people were there to build muscle, some were there to get lean, and some people were there just to try and get back into shape. And no matter how big the class was, there was always one coach for an entire class of all these people who required different workouts to get the results they wanted. They would group everyone into one class and all doing the same workout. To me this seemed ineffective in meeting my goals. That definitely changed when I tried my free week at Body Lab. The first thing I noticed is I asked when the classes start and they said anytime between their open hours. Instead of being on a routine blocked out schedule they encourage people to come in and workout when it's best for them. The second thing I noticed is that there were 2-4 coaches on the floor at all times working with groups of people not too large in size and paying extra attention to the people working out. This was unlike the other gyms I previously visited where coaches would show you how to do the workout by doing it themselves an then saying "GO!", while not paying attention to see if I was doing the workout properly or not. At Body Lab they have coaches like Ross, Alex, and Harvey who are always there if you have any questions and make sure that you are working effectively in the workout. The next thing I noticed was something I haven't seen in any other gym ever. They tailor to an individual's needs who goals are either to bulk up, get lean or get in shape by offering a few variations of the workout of the day, and they allow you to pick which one you would like to do based on your goals you have for yourself. And no matter what workout you choose there is always a coach nearby watching and teaching you the right way to do each exercise. You can really tell that these coaches are there to help you reach your goals and they are passionate about helping you get there. Okay so that covers my thoughts on just working out but there is a whole other side to Body lad. Owner Matt Murski has developed one of the best meal plans I have ever done before. I have tried everything from the no white diet, to paleo, to no carb diet but I never was happy with the results. Matt and his 18 + years of experience in Nutrition really mold to what you are trying to accomplish. Talk about a guy who wants to see the best out of everyone; he sat with me for over 2 hours teaching me how to properly lean down before building up muscle and how a custom meal plan would help me get the results faster. ATTN: Make sure you take Notes!! This Matrix he created is called WhiteBoard Nutrition (http://www.whiteboardnutrition.com/ ). Google it and check out his facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WhiteBoardNutrition/ ) some of the facts and see for yourself. Matt knows his stuff and the passion he has for helping people achieve their goals goes a far way for me. His enthusiasm and commitment in helping each individual person get to where they want will motivate you like never before to really reach your goals like you have never promised yourself you would reach before in your life! So as a result I could not be any happier with my decision to join Body Lab. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. No matter what your goals are Body Lab is the right choice to help get you there! Thanks again to everyone at Body Lab!

I gave myself a birthday present this year, I lost 59 pounds in 6 months. I did it for my health…read moreand quality of life. The saying its 80% diet and 20% gym is accurate. I tried to out train a bad diet and just gained more weight, unhealthy fat around my abdomen. Sugar and processed foods were a formidable foe. I want to be in the best shape I can be as I age because of the limits I see my parents and others face with illness and aging. On June 10th I started this journey at 224.2 lbs. and 28.5 % BF. As of this morning ( 12/23/15 )I was 165.4 lbs. and 17.9 % BF. The one thing I enjoy the most about being health conscience is there is always room for improvement. I"ve got some things I would like to improve on, so its progress not perfection and I am not in a race. It will happen when it happens. In the mean time I am eating clean and changing the landscape of aging. I could have never done this alone so I want to give credit to my nutritional coach Matt Murski with Whiteboard Nutrition for the best approach to understanding food and its affect on the body. I am only one of many success stories coming out of his camp. He truly cares about individual success and has been instrumental in my weight loss. His unique perspective on food is worth investigating as the life it could save might be your own. It changed mine! --

I've been trying to switch it up with my workout routine to have more diversity with the exercises…read more I usually go to spin classes so I appreciate the cardio aspect of this but love that there is more weights involved. I recently tried Barry's and loved it so I figured I'd try this one as it's closer. Upon arrival, the woman at the front desk got me checked in and told me I could wait until the earlier class finished so she could give me an overview. They do have lockers in the bathroom for your stuff; however, most people just left their stuff in the open cubbies at the front. One the earlier class let out, us first timers were brought into the room and shown how to work the treadmill since it wasn't a generic one. For this class, the room has blue lighting and the instructor is on an elevated platform (or should I say DJ booth). The stage is where the exercises are demonstrated and you can always look for the instructor. While Barry's usually does a clean split between time on the treadmill and then the floor... SWEAT has 5-7 minute intervals and rotations. I didn't love this as I was sharing a space with someone else so when I got to the floor... there was sweat from the other person over the bench and it was a bit gross. Additionally, I think more time gets wasted doing the transitions. The workout itself was great and the instructor was nice. When on the treadmill, I appreciate that they give a walk, jog and run option although with the speeds they mention... no way are you still walking unless you're doing your own thing. On the floor side, I do wish they offered more options or guidance to those who have injuries and can't do some movements. I understand it's a large class so it's not feasible but it's something to note. All in all, it was a good workout and I'd visit again BUT would still pick Barry's over this one.
