Body by Choice Training

Fantastic experience: I am so happy that I found Body By Choice Training...everyone there is extremely professional yet welcoming and made me feel very comfortable even though I am not someone who has ever felt secure in a "gym" setting. It's wonderful to have the guided workouts to get me on track, and then also have such a gorgeous facility to work out in on my own time as well. The trainers and the owner of the gym are extremely knowledgeable and I feel like I can trust that they will develop the best workout plan for my needs. I also love that Nick (the owner) believes in a holistic view of health and teaches his clients how to figure out correct nutrition and supplements. Finally...this might seem like a small silly thing, but I really appreciate how lovely and clean the bathrooms and the showers are! I think you can tell a lot about a place by how well they take care of their bathroom facilities. I'm so glad I tried out BBC and I would recommend it to anyone :)

Fantastic experience: Not only do I love working at Body By Choice Training, I love working out here! The equipment is brand new and top-of-the-line. Nick and Kolby are incredibly skilled and experienced trainers, and they are great at developing a workout routine just for you (whether you are a beginner, injured, an advanced athlete, etc.). They are very knowledgeable in nutrition and are genuinely interested in your health and wellness goals. If you're wanting to lose weight, get stronger, or change your overall health for the better, then this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Nick is a crazy knowledgeable trainer, the facilities are top notch, the regular email and text updates and info are solid, and I have loved the focus on building consistent and sustainable habits. I’ve dropped 25+ pounds in the last 4mo, am eating better, have better balance, and am the strongest I’ve been in 20 years. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I joined BBCT in November of 2021 and could not be happier. My experience so far has been wonderful. The entire staff could not be more friendly or helpful, and my trainer, Carter, has been incredible to work with. His workouts keep me engaged and excited to show up to the gym each day. This has been a great investment and I would highly recommend BBCT to anyone looking for a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have received the best fascia therapy stretching. One-on-one with my therapist Garret is unique and so personalized. His is a very professional and attentive. BBC staff are very friendly and helpful. My knee is improving each visit. Very knowledgeable staff to identify for your needs and abilities. Great explanation of treatment and help with pinpointing problem areas as well as exercises to overcome issues. I would definitely recommend the BBC.

Fantastic experience: In my second month at BBCT and couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made. Rachel is my trainer and she has been fantastic in tailoring my workouts to my current fitness level, and continuing to push me every session. I would recommend BBCT to anyone looking to reach and go beyond their personal fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Nate Kendrick, the TPI certified trainer at BBCT for about 20 weeks now and, aside from being a great guy, the progressive workout regimen he has me doing has really been effective. No doubt has not only improved the muscles used in my golf swing but my everyday life movement has certainly been upgraded. Nate works you hard but keeps it light and makes going to the gym enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: BBCT Is amazing! The whole team is extremely professional and welcoming! Nick helped me train my way back from a running injury. I’m not only pain-free but happily running again and with more strength for the future.

Fantastic experience: This is the most confident I've felt about myself in the last five years. After just 12 weeks of working with the team at Body by Choice, I've accomplished several goals leading up to my wedding -- running in a 5K, feeling stronger every week, and most importantly, developing a mindset and lifestyle that prioritizes my health and wellness. I moved to the Grand Rapids area in 2021, and even though the drive is 30 min from home, I look forward to seeing an important part of my new community 3x/week. From Day 1, Nick's assessment demonstrated his knowledge of the human body and proved early on how comprehensive their programs are at BBCT. I train regularly with Carter and Lisa. They challenge me in the best ways possible and always know how to keep it interesting, with a progressive program that changes every three weeks to target different areas of the body. They've got amazing personalities, are great motivators, and I lean on them for support while sharing new goals that've come up while we've worked together. When training at other gyms before, I usually see just one person. BBCT provides everything you need to focus on your health and wellness, even beyond the gym. Every month, I see Tiffny, who helps with goal-setting and shares resources and tips to help achieve them. Because this is such a personal (and sometimes private) experience, she's offered a safe place to share my challenges and aspirations. I've also worked with Kolby, as a massage therapist, to help condition and prepare my body for the first 5K I've done in a very long time. In what could otherwise be an intimidating environment, everyone at BBCT -- both staff and fellow members -- has been welcoming and supportive (even those I don't work with wave and say hello to me by name). I'm so glad I found BBCT and already look forward to coming back after our honeymoon. There's so much more I want to do and accomplish with this talented team of people.

Fantastic experience: Top of the line facility with exceptional equipment. The trainers are kind, knowledgeable and experienced. This is a great place to train no matter what your goals are. This is an all inclusive experience with training, nutrition, stretching, and recovery all on site. You are set up for success from the very beginning. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend BBCT! The trainers are knowledgeable in every aspect of health and tailor everything to each individual. No “one size fits all” programs. The facility is very clean and environment non-intimidating. Won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Great space, great equipment, and great staff! The entire staff is knowledgeable and every workout is tailored to your goals and needs, even if you’re injured or have an imbalance. The trainers truly care about you and reaching your goals, and after a few sessions it feels like you’re working out with a friend rather than a trainer. I cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking to change your health and lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: Like anything new I was skeptical to start training with Nick and his team, especially as this was my first true experience training with professionals. From my first session I was blown away and instantly hooked by their approach to fitness and just how easy it is to train with everybody on the team. What I thought was going to be an intimidating experience was the exact opposite, everyone is open and encouraging in helping me achieve not only my fitness goals but also helping me adopt a more overall health lifestyle. Nick and the Whole team at BBCT Thank You!!!

Fantastic experience: I reached a point in my life that sustaining a healthy, active lifestyle required more than what I was able to properly research and develop on my own. I was looking for an organization that had the resources to not only develop an age appropriate work out program but could also provide me with nutritional guidance. Body By Choice has exceeded my expectations!! I believe Nick has assembled a very unique and knowledgeable team that is highly dedicated to their clients. Tiffny Harmon has done an excellent job of understanding my dietary needs and helping me develop a healthy, sustainable plan. I believe she has a very sincere passion, and ability, to help clients find the right plan that will would work regardless of lifestyle. Carter Stupyra has been my personal trainer for more than 3 months. Working closely with Nick, Carter developed a work out routine to meet what I need at this point in my life. I am very impressed with his knowledge, patience and ability to connect with his clients. His goal of helping me develop a healthy lifestyle is consistent at every session. His extremely positive attitude influenced me to continue on this journey. I recently signed up for another 12 sessions. As I transition into this next phase of age appropriate workout and health care I knew I would likely need to spend more time on reducing muscle tightness and improving flexibility. Dr. Scott Hadley (Hadley Clinic) has an office located within the BBC facility. His vast knowledge of anatomy and manual therapy, along with his ability to connect with his patients, is very impressive. After several sessions, Dr. Hadley was able to develop a routine for me that I believe is exactly what I need. I am excited to incorporate, what Dr. Hadley has taught me, into my daily fitness program. I highly recommend the team at Body By Choice to help you on your journey for a healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Carter and it feels more like I’m going to train with a buddy rather than a transactional relationship. He goes above and beyond. BBCT takes care of all the planning so all I need to do is show up and follow the program. They are flexible too if I need to reschedule my appointment. For someone like me who is busy and needs accountability, it’s a great fit. Included is a nutritionist that you can meet with to help you keep your diet on track. They also provide stretching services. It’s a very comprehensive service to help me reach my goals. If you need an all-in-one solution, BBCT is a great find.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I stumbled upon BBCT a few months ago and I could not be happier that we did! All of the trainers are phenomenal, friendly, and welcoming, but huge shout to Carter. Carter makes working out fun and makes you excited to show up every day! He does a great job of challenging you and is so encouraging every step of the way! The facilities are excellent! They have everything you would want or need at a gym and it is state of the art. The owner, Nick, is always very helpful and approachable. I would highly recommend! Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Fantastic experience: The best investment you can make is in yourself! I went from working out inconsistently to working out 4 days a week for 6 months straight and eating healthier, all thanks to my trainer Carter, the owner Nick, and my nutritionist Tiffny. The whole staff is nice and helpful, as are the other clients, so it’s a great environment to completely change your health lifestyle in and keep you accountable.

Fantastic experience: The knowledge that Nick & the rest of the trainers bring is something beyond any gym I have ever been a part of. Their genuine interest in helping accomplish your health & fitness goals is also on a level that is beyond what most gyms/trainers offer. They are truly the best of the best & highly recommend if you're looking to change your lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: This place is everything I hoped it would be. I've been training here with Steph for over a year now, and have seen significant improvements in strength and physique. She has a very good sense of how hard to push me, and has been very flexible with working around an ongoing health issue I have. Tiffny is also amazing and very knowledgeable as a nutritionist. I eat a vegan diet, and she has worked with me to improve in many aspects. Overall, the whole staff is friendly and I look forward to my sessions here every time. I highly recommend Body By Choice Training if you want to take your health and fitness to the next level!

Fantastic experience: If you are nervous about personal training or if you are a novice weight lifter, then this is the perfect place to start or even advance in your training! I trained with Nathan and he is super down to earth and tailors workouts to fit my strengths (or lack thereof) and busy schedule! I used to think I could optimize my personal fitness by reading books, watching YouTube videos, and doing things solo, but you will see WAY more results and faster by choosing Body by choice instead!! 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Body by Choice Training has been great! I injured my knee last year during the beginning of the pandemic and had the toughest time getting back into a workout routine. I was lucky enough to have support from the wonderful staff and Personal Trainer Courtney! Courtney has helped me transform my left leg into a working leg and is still helping me reach my workout / body goals! She is a great supporter and pushes you to do your best.

Fantastic experience: BBCT is awesome for personal training! I think the "T" in BBCT should stand for "team" as I have a whole team working with me! Nathan designs my training regimen around my injuries and walks me through every exercise to make sure I develop perfect form. Taylor gives me my facia stretch once a week and has really helped my range of motion. Finally I even have a dietician that touches base with me as needed. Nobody here tries to push you into a certain diet and they are knowledgable enough to make a program for you that doesn't aggravate any old injuries. Great people make a great place. I'm a 55 year old male with 99 issues, but exercise 'aint one.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Anna Marie for several months and have significantly improved my strength. She has helped tailor a program to manage my knee pain and increase my overall muscle strength. She is great to train with by keeping me challenged with a variety of exercises. The facility is clean with a variety of equipment and the staff is very welcoming. I highly recommend training with Anna Marie and the BBC team to improve your health.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that gives you an individualized plan according to your needs / goals I couldn’t recommend a better place. I have worked with Andy for over a year and my husband has been going for close to a year. We work out together but are each able to still have our own needs met. I love the personalized workouts, the ability to modify any of the workouts and the ability to see our progress over time. From the beginning Andy asked what our goals were and continues to make sure that we are happy and getting what we want out of our time there. I love that it is small, quiet and everyone is there working with a trainer instead of it being a social event. I love that we can meet with a nutritionist that can guide us or provide us with meal ideas, recipes, etc. to help us change our lifestyles as a whole. I would highly recommend Andy but all the trainers there are awesome.

Fantastic experience: My first few months at BBC with Trent have been overwhelmingly positive and transformative. I had never been to the gym in my life, so embarking on this journey to better personal health could have felt intimidating, but Trent and the whole BBC team made me feel at home from day one. I’ve always been able to ask any trainer any question without feeling embarrassed. The results speak for themselves. In just over two months, I’ve put on five pounds of muscle, and I can see a huge difference in the mirror. Trent’s programs are at once accessible and challenging, and he always pushes me to achieve my fullest potential. Tiffny has encouraged me to make changes to my diet in gradual, sustainable ways that I’ve implemented with ease and efficacy. I cannot recommend this gym enough!

Fantastic experience: Just wrapping up our first 24 sessions, and I can’t say enough amazing things about BBCT! My fiancé and I wanted to get in better shape before our wedding, and with Stephanie’s help we now feel so much stronger, healthier, and more confident! I loved the progression of workouts and looking back at where I started to where I am now, there’s been so much progress in a short time. Stephanie is an amazing coach; she’s encouraging, personable and helps push you to accomplish your workout. Being able to have check-in’s with our nutritionist, Tiffny, was awesome and a great way to keep our health goals on track, especially when training during the holidays! I’ve learned so much in our first session, and can’t wait to start back up again after our wedding in a few weeks. I highly recommend BBCT!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to BBCT for almost two years. I found the gym by chance, so I viewed this as my time to take care of myself. I personally like it because it is one-on-one training, small and not crowded. The equipment is new and in great condition. The trainers are extremely friendly and have positive attitudes to encourage us to meet our goals. My trainer is Andy, an awesome guy. He provides a new work-out routine every three weeks, to keep me focused and on task. And we have great conversations and a little MSU-UM rivalry. I have had knee issues for the past several years. I am able to work out and walk with very little pain. My overall strength has improved. And with the assistance of Tiffany, I am learning to eat a healthy diet. Training at BBCT has been a positive experience for me. If you are looking to become fit and healthy, BBCT is the place.

Fantastic experience: I joined Body By Choice Training a year ago, having reach a point where I was fed up with many failed attempts to find an exercise routine that I would stick with. I had never tried personal training, but after the first few sessions with AnnaMarie, I was hooked! I signed up for a 3 times a week program and have never looked back. The results speak for themselves -- I am stronger, leaner, and 15 pounds lighter -- and I am so happy with myself! Plus, with guidance from Tiffny, I have changed my eating habits with great results. Working out with a BBCT trainer is so much more efficient and yields great results because they know what you are capable of achieving and have a plan to get you there. If you are ready to get in the best shape of your life, give them a call!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I finished my first 12-week program at BBCT. Carter has been my trainer and he is terrific. He's helped me reach and go beyond my personal goals and is very supportive and informational throughout the training sessions.

Fantastic experience: Training with Steph over the last year+ was the best motivation and accountability. I started with lower back pain from previous injury. Her personalized sessions resulted in much stronger core strength and confidence. A little advice: if you walk in and Steph is smirking, get ready for a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Since I started at Body By Choice in August 2020, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The staff here is welcoming, and they make you feel very comfortable. I appreciate their methods in which they take the time to get to know and understand you in order to create a plan specific to you. They are very supportive and hold you accountable in a way that makes you want to be the best you can be. Special thanks to Taylor and Tiffny for always challenging me and giving me encouragement along the way. Choose BBC and choose Taylor as your trainer, she always has a positive attitude and makes the workout fun. I haven’t felt this good since I was in my 20’s and now I feel great again!

Fantastic experience: I was being trained at BBC for 12 weeks and it was a great firsthand experience. I trained with Nate and he was simply amazing. Very professional and just a pleasure to work with. He always stayed on track and encouraged me when I felt like giving up. The staff is friendly and helpful so your able to achieve your goals. The gym is nicely cleaned, and it was just a positive environment to workout in. 10/10 I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Nick is very knowledgeable and keeps updated on all the new exercises and techniques! He changes the programs every few weeks so they don't get too boring or routine! I have seen such an improvement in my strength and flexibility since I've started training with him! If you're looking for an excellent trainer to keep you motivated and in great shape, he is definitely one to have on your team!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I have been training at BBCT with Stephanie since January (2020). She has been helping me stay strong and flexible during my pregnancy! The gym is clean and safe ( it was even before Covid!) and all the trainers are friendly and professional. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for help in their fitness/training goals!

Fantastic experience: The reason I started going to Body by Choice was to prepare to run my first marathon. This was the first time I have done any weight training and so far my experience has been very positive. Nate and AnnaMarie have been excellent trainers. They always give me good feedback and push me to do my best. When I don't understand something, they always take the time to answer my question or give me tips to help me improve. Tiffny has also been very supportive and helped me improve my diet. Everybody is always willing to answer my questions and are encouraging in achieving my health and fitness goals. I have been with Body by Choice for over a year and since then I was able to complete my marathon and have seen an improvement in my pace and endurance. I also feel stronger and have more energy. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I've been actively working out and going to the gym for most of my life and worked with many different personal trainers along the way, all to varying levels of success. Without a doubt the most professional, knowledgable, personable, and dedicated trainers I have ever worked with are those at BBC. If you're looking for a place that has the right people to get you healthy and fit, look no further. They've even managed to help me stay active and training while working around some sports injuries I've incurred. Great people. Great place. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been working out at Body by Choice for almost a year now. Our trainer is Nate and he is an awesome trainer. We enjoy the privacy of the gym and the one on one training we get. I have felt stronger, healthier and more motivated to workout since I have been going to Body by Choice. We also have three kids that are ages 21-24 that also work out at the gym and have loved it. I would recommend this to gym to any age that is looking to start working out or getting into a workout routine.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Nick for over six months and I am in the best shape I have been in over 20 years. He is great about customizing a program that fits your needs and what your body will allow you to do. Body by Choice also encompasses your over all well being with diet, supplements, etc. This is the best thing I have done for myself in many years. I highly recommend Nick and his team!

Fantastic experience: Far and away the best gym and personal training in West Michigan. Nick and company put in a lot of work to make sure you have a complete plan (workout, nutrition, supplementation) tailored to your specific needs. I've worked with Nick, Nathan, and Tiffny. They (and the rest of the team) are awesome! The facilities are first class and I love the private gym experience. I highly recommend BBCT to everybody. Tell them Austin sent you!

Fantastic experience: Over the years, I have worked with a number of trainers. In my opinion,Nick Klein is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with. His dedication to keeping current on what's new in his industry and his ability to adapt programs to individual's needs is second to none. If you're looking to work with a personal trainer, I would highly recommend Nick and his company .

Fantastic experience: I joined Body by Choice in April, with a twelve week program. My trainer is Andy, and I meet with their registered nutritionist Tiffny every 4 weeks. I was happy and so impressed with the staff, my trainer and the facility that I just signed up for my 2nd 12 week program. The staff is always helpful, and flexible and accomodating with my schedule! The workouts change every 3 weeks, and Andy is fantastic at keeping in mind my limitations while always challenging me to improve. My lifestyle is pretty hectic so I can't always come in on my own, but overall I'm very pleased with my results!! I reccomend this training facility and its staff to anyone who's looking for accountability and friendly assistance in their fitness journey!! It's worth every penny!!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Body By Choice Training since June. I have completed one twelve-week program and just recently started a new twelve week program. I have been able to work with three different trainers at Body By Choice. My trainers are Nate, Taylor and Andy I train with them three times a week. I have loved training with them and have felt stronger, healthier and better about myself since I’ve started. Each of them push and support me while I am training. They also have a nutritionist that is available to improve your nutrition. I highly recommend Body By Choice if you are looking to get in shape and improve your overall health. They are the experts :)

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Taylor for about 4 months now and I’ve never felt more motivated and excited about working out -and these workouts can be intense! - as I do when coming here. I’ve seen and felt so much improvement, physically and mentally by pushing myself and having that support system to keep me going even when it gets tough. And it’s not just Taylor but all the other trainers and clients are supportive and friendly too. It’s also super awesome to hear my friends and family comment about how they have noticed how much better I’ve been looking and feeling lately since I’ve started training here! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: BBC is a great gym for many reasons! It's small, quiet, always clean, professional, everyone is friendly and supportive. AnnaMarie is my trainer and is hands down the best personal trainer someone could ask for! Her, along with all the other trainers, are very knowledgable, motivating and really help you achieve the goals that you set out to accomplish. Because it's a smaller gym, everything is more personalized which helps for feeling better about the personal training process from beginning to end. I began my training journey with little to no knowledge of gym equipment, nutrition, physiology, etc but everyone was very helpful and guided through everything since day one. I would highly recommend joining with BBC to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to BBC since January, and it has been a great experience. The equipment is in good shape, the staff is friendly, and the gym is always very clean. After an initial meeting with the owner, Nick, I was paired up with AnnaMarie as my trainer. She is awesome and everything a trainer should be: smart, invested in her clients, willing to push you to achieve your goals, and funny (read: willing to give my sarcasm right back to me during my workouts). Highly recommend AnnaMarie and BBC to anyone who is looking to meet their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I chose BBC based off of google reviews back in the spring. Their website was highly intriguing as well as their reviews, and for good reason. All of their trainers are extremely friendly, helpful and supportive. Their combination of professionalism, knowledge and kindness sets them apart from other gyms. Not only do they help you out with training but they also have a nutritionist who helps you with choosing better and healthier meals. If you have any questions about shakes or supplements they are more than happy to help you, however they never once pressured me into buying them. Just going to the sessions twice a week with a trainer and eating healthier, they helped me lose 20 pounds in 12 weeks! All while gaining muscle and feeling stronger every week. It is on the pricier side, but they have different plans that you can ask about and surely afford. Ultimately, you’re not only investing your money into the company, but into yourself and they will guide you every step of the way to help you meet your goals.

Fantastic experience: This is now my second time joining BBCT. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I am not one to feel overly confident with working out and using gym equipment, so the one on one training is by far superior to any gym I have tried in the past. The trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. I receive great nutrition advice for my specific goals. It's a bit pricey BUT you can't put a price on your health and well-being. Best investment I've made in awhile!!!! Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a clean friendly gym with just about every piece of equipment you could possibly need then Body By Choice is the place for you. I have been training with Annamarie for over 18 months now and have had a very positive experience. She is very knowledgeable and motivating. The work programs change just about every month and really keep you on your toes. Best gym I have been a member at hands down.

Fantastic experience: After recently deciding on an overall healthy lifestyle, I decided on Body By Choice gym. I researched many other gyms and facilities prior to this decision and based on my overall impression of what I saw and phone conversations I had, I chose BBC. I made the right choice. I am So content with everything. Only 4 weeks into my training, and I can honestly say my trainer Tommy, gym owner Nick and the full staff have gone above and beyond what I expected. They are always knowledgeable on exactly what I am need of. Its not just the training exercises and routines that make it, its the education they provide towards health and also the nutritional information including pros and cons of what is important to maintain overall health and fitness. I did not expect all of that. The education, experience and knowledge all the trainers have got my attention immediately and has reassured my joining. The approach Body By Choice takes in a persons decisions to get healthy truly is second to none. I am thankful I chose them and it has made me engage to a higher level in the training.
