    Body & Soul Transformations - 25 pounds lost in 6 weeks

    I just finished my 6 week challenge and have to admit that I highly recommend the program. The…read moremeal plan was very clear as to what was allowed and not allowed for each meal. There were enough choices and variety to get through the 6 weeks, but most of all the changes made to my diet were seen on the scale immediately! The first week alone (when my body was in utter shock), I lost 7 pounds! From that moment on, there was no doubt in my mind that the program worked. In terms of the exercise plan, it is the most efficient 1 hour workout I have ever done. I used to work out regularly on my own prior to the challenge but the classes Body and Soul offer and high intensity workouts where I am performing a perfect mix of cardio and strength moves. The trainers are excellent, personable, and challenged me regularly to increase my weights in order to get stronger. Lastly, the overall atmosphere of the people at Body and Soul is so encouraging. We are all there for the same place and I have to say that I met some great friends along the way. If you are looking to drop some pounds or become leaner, Body and Soul is the place to go. I highly recommend you stop by, check it out, talk to the trainers, and get on your way to a fitter, leaner, healthier you!

    Full disclosure, I joined this group of studios. I tried them last year and found it too pricy…read more But then as I went around to other places in town, I just kept thinking about this workout format and the way I felt after doing some of the workouts. I did a trial run earlier this summer, and just bit the bullet and joined after that. As a result, Ive been to this studio a number of times recently, I found tis location to be perfect some days. Its much smaller than the Tonawanda location, which is good and bad. Good because there are fewer people in each class, bad because its often full for each class. Ive never been here with more than one instructor, and at Tonawanda's there is almost always 2, if not three but I imagine that has to do with size of class. The format is this - They create 6 workouts (Mon-Sat) which they then do for 4 weeks. Each workout is designed to hit different areas of the body, and some days have more weight and less cardio than others, they mix it up. Each class starts with the same tape to get everyone stretched out and ready for the next 50 min. Then there is a short cardio burst to get the blood flowing, and a longer section with some burpees or squats or whatever they think of. Then you pay attention while the instructor shows you what each exercise of the day is. By week four those demos don't take quite as long, but they still cover them all each day, and show you the various different levels for each exercise. Well trained group of instructors. Then the class starts, usually that portion is between 22-25 min. as you go from exercise to exercise. There may be some sort of 3 min end exercise, they often involve squats Ive found. Then the same cool down tape plays and everyone does that. Class ends as the instructor brings everyone into the middle for a "tip of the day". Sometimes those are super interesting, other times they are so-so. I don't think those are spelled out from corporate, I think they make them up themselves, which could explain why some are better than others. They have improved their website experience by joining mindbody, so that's nice. There is another location coming in Cheektowaga this fall. I look forward to checking that out too. This place is the home of the "6 weeks 20 lbs" challenge, and you'll have challengers in most classes. I cannot stress enough how much support these people get from the instructors and members in their goals. Most hit the goals if they show up to class and follow the diet plan. If you want to come try a class, PM me and Ill see if I can help make that happen.

    I've been training with Bob for over 15 years (on and off) and he is by far the best personal…read moretrainer I've ever worked with. His experience and knowledge result in highly effective workouts and I feel like every session I have with him is a well-made investment in my health & well being. I've worked in the fitness industry for the past 25 years, and have observed and trained with a lot of fitness professionals around the country, I rank Bob in the top tier of personal trainers I've encountered. In addition to his wealth of knowledge and years of experience, he is very personable and sincerely cares about his clients. I started training with him in January (after a hiatus of several years due to personal reasons) I'm so glad I finally decided to stop wasting time and money on facilities and programs that didn't lead to results, and return to what I know works-Bob Alessi Personal Training. Since January I have lost over 20 pounds,and several inches. His facility is spacious and well equipped with top of the line strength and cardio equipment. I feel very lucky to have access to a trainer of Bob's caliber in Buffalo. If you're looking for fitness, wellness, weight loss, muscle gain, and a better overall life in general, Bob is the person who can help you get there.
