Body by Design Fitness Studio Alpharetta

Fantastic experience: Add me to the list of people who don't usually write reviews but Body by Design deserves a shout out. Top tier trainers, incredibly friendly atmosphere, and an owner who really got it right.

Fantastic experience: I joined BBD because I wanted to concentrate on strength training. It's amazing to walk into a gym and have the trainers greet me warmly every time. Body by Design creates a personal program for each member based on their goals and physical limitations. I thoroughly enjoy working out in a smaller, personal training environment, where all the Trainers know my orthopedic concerns and are invested in my personal success.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely a fantastic place! All the coaches are great! They help take you from where you are to where you want to be with results that show up fast. They are fantastic accountability partners and you will become friends with the coaches and other patrons at the gym. Hands down the best gym in Alpharetta and the best place to work out if you want to see results!

Fantastic experience: All the instructors are great! The semi private, personal training sessions are written based on you and what you want to work on. They work your entire body and change every six weeks. A great workout especially for building muscle mass for women as they age as it is so important.

Fantastic experience: Over the past 5 years, Body By Design has been a transformative experience for me. I've always led an active lifestyle, maintained a clean diet, and kept myself in good physical shape. But now I'm in the best shape of my life, I am lifting heavy weights yes, but more importantly look and feel in peek physical condition. The gym excels at creating a welcoming environment, and the trainers do an amazing job developing customized workout plans tailored to your body type, eating habits and specific goals. They also provide continuous motivation and support to keep you on track. It's a fun family environment where they will help create your personal gym experience, regardless of what you're looking for.

Fantastic experience: A great place to work out with friendly individually assigned personal trainer. Not crowded and they keep you committed to your goals. And the music and vibe keeps you motivated to achieve your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: BBD is a place where I have seen a fitness transformation. In over 18 months, I have become stronger/gained muscle, learnt about tracking macros, most importantly learned so much about workout techniques working with some solid coaches like Coach Halle/Christian/Dwight to name few. Muscle building/fat loss ain’t easy but if someone is willing to put in work, BBD is highly recommended for their customized programs per individual.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful to the entire team of Body by Design (BBD) for the transformative fitness journey they have supported me in. I am close to hitting the one year mark at BBD, and every penny has been worth it. I went from never working out to working out consistently 2-3 times a week. As a mom of a toddler and a first grader, I didn’t think that would ever fit my schedule, but the accountability and motivation the coaches at BBD provided me every single session was unmatched. And I so appreciate how you truly feel mattered at Body by Design. How the coaches always say hi when you come in, bye when you leave, genuinely ask how you're doing, text you to check in on you if you haven't been there in a few days, ask about your nutrition for the week, the cultural sensitivity they value, and so on. All the coaches know my name, even ones I've never trained with, and it leaves you feeling special. The owner and coach Neal has done an incredible job leading his team and gym into the special place that it is, and it's really inspiring to see! I can't thank coaches Chloe and Halle enough for all the training they've provided me and encouragement when I wanted to quit. And now as an expecting mom, I couldn't feel in safer hands. All the coaches are soo experienced and ready each day to tailor my program even further based on how I'm feeling that week, and I absolutely love that. As someone who didn’t used to work out from the dread of big gyms and just being a number, I feel so lucky to be a member at Body by Design. Don't take my word for it, come by and do a free intake! I was hooked since then!!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been going to Body by Design for almost 5 years and it's been literally a life changing decision for us. We've learned so many functional movements, improved stamina and regularly do adventure travel that we would have never been able to do before joining. The team is thoughtful, friendly and flexible. They've worked with us through absences and illnesses to keep us moving forward but always adjusting to our current needs.

Fantastic experience: Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the coaches at Body By Design! I started my journey there roughly 15 months ago with a diagnosis of osteoporosis. With the custom programs (that not only have safety and proper form at the forefront) but have pushed me beyond what I thought was impossible for me. Couple that with the constant encouragement and a feeling of family, my osteoporosis has reversed to normal range. I could not be more grateful. All of the coaches are amazing but I am a bit partial to Chloe!! :)

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to stick with a workout regimen and want to work with positive, encouraging and knowledgeable fitness trainers who really know their trade, then this is your place. I attribute strength training to keeping my back problems completely at bay. Food coaching and personal goal setting have helped me stay on track when I didn’t ‘feel’ like it. BBD is a community of people of all ages, which is wonderful too. For me, the accountability of having someone check in to make sure I am planning to workout is priceless. I’ve never stuck with a gym membership as long as I have at BBD. (More than 3 years & counting.) There’s workout variety (personalized programs every 6 weeks that are transformative), encouragement & community here. On my own I never would’ve stuck with strength training with such a plan to keep going indefinitely!

Fantastic experience: Working with Johnathan and the Body By Design team has been incredibly rewarding. I always look forward to our sessions, not just for the progress I’m making but also for the great energy and fun conversations we share. Since starting in January, I've noticed significant changes, both physically and mentally. Physically, I feel stronger, more energized, and have seen improvements in my endurance and overall fitness level. Mentally, I’ve gained a lot more confidence and resilience, which has positively impacted other areas of my life. I’ve built a routine that prioritizes health and fitness, and I’m proud of how it has become a natural part of my everyday life. Being consistent is definitely challenging with my work and travel schedule, but the encouragement from Johnathan and the team has been crucial in keeping me on track. The progress I’ve made has exceeded my expectations, and I’m excited to continue moving forward! Thank you again for all the motivation and positive energy. It’s been a fantastic experience, and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey!

Fantastic experience: BBD has really helped me learn so much about the how’s and why’s behind fitness. I can attest that my “eating healthy” and “regular exercise “ prior was truly missing the mark. So my diet has improved, my habits have improved and the accountability built in keeps me on track and getting better.

Fantastic experience: Best results I have ever gotten at a gym! They understand my goals and write my program, and I just show up and work. Exactly what I need for my busy schedule.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars across the board! I started at this gym a total novice with zero workout experience, and Body by Design helped train me and get me confident in my own physical fitness! The trainers are who make this gym special, 100%. They design personalized workout plans for you, and ask you if there’s any certain areas that you’d like to focus on. They’re super friendly as well, and you’ll make friends fast! Another great thing about this gym, is even when there is new staff brought in, they are always great and fit the Body by Design mold. In an industry with turnover, it is especially valuable to know that the hiring standards are high even if they do have to hire new folks from time to time. Because of this, I can fully recommend committing to this Gym because they will always have your best interest/goals in mind, well into the future!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing experience with Neal and the team. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to their clients’ well-being are truly unmatched. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. The team’s personalized approach and attention to detail have made a significant difference in my fitness journey. I highly recommend Body By Design to anyone looking for top-notch service and outstanding results!

Fantastic experience: This review is going to be split into two parts. Immediately will be a TL;DR, and below that will be a more in-depth review. TL;DR: This gym singlehandedly changed my lifestyle. Keeping me accountable and pushing me to my limits, I was able to go from the worst shape in my life (~30% BF and 205 pounds) in Summer/August 2023 to arguably my best shape thus far (~24% BF, 185 pounds) in 4 months (December 2023). I can't thank them enough for keeping me motivated and ensuring I make the best use of them. -------------------------- I initially wanted to join the gym during COVID lockdown but was unable to for my own reasons. During that time, I stopped exercising nearly as much as I used to in high school/university and let go pretty badly, going from easily 170 pounds and 25% BF to about 205 pounds and over 30% BF by the time I took an internship out of state Summer 2023. When I finished the internship, I was in the worst shape of my life, and it showed both physically and mentally. I don't like using excuses, so enough was enough, and I finally took the step to reach out once more to BBD Alpharetta. From there, I worked with every coach, but primarily with Coach Christian and Coach Dwight from the start. They were the ones who kept making sure I showed up and enforced my duty to improving my well-being. With simple diet changes that were not terribly difficult for me and a consistent exercise regime, I was able to lose 20 pounds and a little over 5% BF in 4 months. I have stagnated a little, but that is because of my dieting choices. I still hit Personal Records on multiple lifts, so by committing to changing my diet, I can achieve the aesthetic build I joined for in the first place. Since then, I've worked with all the Coaches, Coach Johnathan, Coach Haley, Coach Chloe, and the big guy himself Coach Neal. Each and every one of them have helped me in my journey and I am grateful to them for drilling in the concept of pushing myself to my limits - something I never did even when I exercised on my own when I was younger - and keeping a more healthy lifestyle. It has helped me tremendously in a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual manner. The gym itself is somewhat small, but it has just about everything you need to begin a journey - from free weights to barbells to cardio to bodyweight exercises. Similarly, the community is relatively small, but it is tight-knit and everyone is there to support one another's journey. It is the kind of environment that every gym should have but doesn't necessarily pull off. Training regimes are personalized based on what you want to achieve, whether it's an aesthetic build, simple weight and/or fat loss, or building strength, with a slight focus on strength training regardless of goals. It is located conveniently in Downtown Alpharetta, so there are plenty of things to do around the gym as well should you want a post-workout snack nearby or to simply enjoy what Downtown Alpharetta has to offer before or after your workout. The Coaches do not let you off the hook easily, they're going to make sure you get your money's worth by working with them. They will push you, but not so much that it is overbearing, because ultimately, it is you who has to make the decision to better yourself. I could not have asked for a better gym. So much so, that for the time that I am out-of-state for a job/contract (2024-2026), I am continuing to work with them virtually to make sure I can keep myself accountable and not lose the progress I have made thus far.

Fantastic experience: BBD is the best! I was looking for a gym where i could get a custom workout designed for my goals and be held accountable for my overall health including diet. I've learned so much from the trainers and owner in my 8 months here so far, and I absolutely love how they hold me accountable for coming to the gym, tracking my food, taking supplements, etc. I've been a "workout person" all my life with minimal results, but this place has helped me become a "weight lifting person" and i'm actually seeing my body changing for the first time! Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for custom training.

Fantastic experience: Body By Design is an amazing fitness studio! All the trainers truly care about your specific goals and work hard to create an individualized program including strength training, cardio and nutrition to help you achieve those goals. BBD works with all fitness levels and are able to motivate all personality types. My daughters both went from couch potatoes to fitness enthusiasts due to BBD’s influence and we are now a fitness family. Clients encourage one another during sessions and you become friends with the people who work out at similar times. If you are looking for the best fitness studio experience, come join the BBD family!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I've been training with them for over a year, and they have really helped me keep myself consistent with exercise since then. All the trainers are kind and encouraging, and have built a great community within their gym!

Fantastic experience: Body by Design is a fantastic & unique gym. Whether you are a fitness junkie or someone who has no idea what to do at the gym, this is the best gym experience. It’s all personal training with exceptional trainers and custom workouts that are tailored to each members needs, goals and even limitations. And the owner cares deeply about his clients. They take the intimidation factor out of working out. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get fit or stay fit.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and training coaches. Very happy with the results and programming provided by the team. Always a very positive place to workout and coaches go above and beyond to know all members and help meet goals. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Body By Design fitness studio is hands-down the best studio and gym I have ever been a part of! Neal has built a gym and fitness studio where you feel that you belong, and not just workout and leave! The staff working with Neal (Christian, Julie, Chloe, Dwight, Johnathan) are very competent are extremely friendly. - They actually send me text messages when it’s been a few days that I didn’t workout! Never experienced that before, which makes me and others feel part of a community! Like an extended family. - The program is very well designed. It caters to one’s body needs. And the trainers gradually increase weights and endurance. This personalized approach ensures that the program aligns with your specific goals, whether it’s weight loss or increased energy. - Been with them for 6 months now, and I felt the difference within the first few weeks. - The fitness studio is always very clean, neat and very well maintained. - Very flexible with workout schedules, and there are a lot of timing options, even if you want to workout last minute. - Upon joining there is a comprehensive assessment that includes a functional movement screen, nutritional consultation, posture alignment, stretch test, and other baseline measurements. I loved that, because it catered to my specific needs. I highly Recommend Body By Design Fitness Studio! As someone who signed up based on their stellar reputation, I can confidently say that my experience exceeded all expectations. Neal and the entire team deserve kudos for their hard work. Keep shining!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at BBD for about 14 months and this is by far the best decision I have made last year. The trainers here are aall excellent and well versed in all aspects of personal training. Furthermore they are INCREDIBLY patient and understanding. I have never been chastised for being a little late or taking extra time between exercises. The gym can get busy (though there is PLENTY of space) but if you book one on one sessions like I have you will always get your allotted personal coaching time especially during all the difficult exercises. All of the trainers are super friendly and approachable and make training less like a business and more like a familial event anyone can enjoy. Front office manager Julie is super easy to reach and incredibly friendly. All in all 100/100 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I joined with my son around 18 months ago. Since then, we have lost weight, gained muscle tone and really increased our stamina! Neal and the trainers are great to work with and really motivate us to try just a little harder! They have also been able to adapt our training program due to minor injuries and several surgeries. I would highly recommend Body by Design if you are looking for a great gym with an awesome group of trainers!

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoy going to Body By Design Gym where I feel completely at ease and motivated to work out. With the guidance of their friendly and experienced trainers, I am able to push myself further and truly make the most of my fitness journey. Undoubtedly, it is undoubtedly the premier gym for workouts in Atlanta.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service

Fantastic experience: I went to Body by Design Studio for about two and a half years. This is the best gym I've ever been to. From the moment I walked in until the day I left, I was treated like family. I told Neal about my goals, and he customized my training accordingly. During my time there, every coach I had was excellent and very knowledgeable! The best parts of the studio are the challenges, constant diet monitoring, progression weeks, and the Inbody measurements to show the progressions. When I first entered the studio, I had runner's knee, but all of the coaches were really helpful in relieving the discomfort with the right forms and techniques. I've gone on several backpacking trips and have never had any problems with the knee. I sincerely appreciate all of the coaches there. Hopefully, we will cross paths again. I wish you guys the best!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Body By Design for about a year and a half. When I first signed up, Neal talked to me about my goals and thoroughly explained how his team works and how they could help me with fitness. Every coach I've worked with is awesome and knowledgeable when it comes to performing specific exercises. Earlier this year I set a very ambitious goal that I wanted to reach in 6 months that seemed impossible to meet at the time. But after working with the coaches, consistency, and some serious self discipline, I was able to do it! Special shout out to Dwight with help on that!

Fantastic experience: In 2021, I made a commitment to change some things in my life to improve my health. My first step was to change my diet. That was successful. In the span of a year, I lost almost 70 pounds; however, in December of 2022, I realized that I had hit a hard plateau. My 80-year-old parents had been lifting weights at Body by Design for almost 8 years, so I decided that I was going to try adding weights to my health initiative. Wow! What a life changing decision. In almost a year, I have lost nearly 20 lbs, gained 5 pounds of muscle, and lost 8% of body fat. Those are hard, provable evidence of success. Yet, that is not the main reason I would recommend Body by Design. The reason I have been successful is because of the intangibles that can't be measured. First, Body by Design is not just a fitness studio; it is a culture, a family. Each time I walk in, I am greeted by name by every coach and most clients. I jokingly refer to it as the "Cheers" of fitness studios--- everybody knows your name. I have personally worked out with every coach at the studio. They all share my struggles and my successes, and each one has taught me something valuable, each one offering a different perspective on my goals. It is clear that the staff meets regularly to discuss our fitness goals and our plan. It does not matter who you schedule; they are all invested in your success. I like the fact that I have an accountability coach who is working on and tracking not only my body changes, my lifting program, and my diet, but also my challenges with sticking to my program. They encourage me to be consistent and to trust the plan. The most surprising part of the experience is it actually works! I am a 60-year old post-menopausal woman who has tried everything to be healthy with little to no success. One year! Sticking to a plan! Consistency! Every single time I walk in the gym, I am happy to be there. Every workout is a challenge; however, it is not anything that I can't achieve because the plan is personally tailored to my needs. The coaches plan my success so that I don't give up. Praise, encouragement, tangible proof of success keeps me coming back. I have been to other gyms before -- all promising changes; however, I was never able to stick with anything because every program/workout seemed dauntingly difficult. It was almost cookie-cutter planning for anyone my age --- too easy, too hard, going through the motions. Not at Body by Design. I feel that the staff is truly invested in my success. However, it is not just the staff that makes the place feel like home. All of my fellow workout friends provide advice, encouragement, and fellowship. The gym schedules social activities and competitions to keep us all motivated. Overall, Body by Design feels like home, and the people feel like family --- all working toward the same goal of being fit and healthy. I do not hesitate to give Body by Design my highest recommendation.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for a year now and I love it! They tailor the program to fit your goals and are genuinely interested in your success. The coaches are knowledgable and ensure you are correctly completing the movement to get the best results! It is a very friendly environment with good energy!

Fantastic experience: Big shout out to Neal and Body By Design! I walked in today and asked for some changes in my workout due to an injury and within minutes Neal had made the adjustments needed to compensate and kept me on track! Best Gym Ever

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. It’s the only gym I’ve been too that I actually enjoy going to. The owner and trainers are so personable. They truly want to see you make positive changes in your life and keep them. I’ve been a member for 2 years and it’s definitely worth it!

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member at BBD for the past year. This Gym really feels like home and has changed my perspective on working out. Neal has really helped me reach my body goals!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going since May and this place is excellent for personal training. I’ve had trainers at big chain fitness facilities and BBD blows them away. I have learned so much about proper form, my strength has improved steadily. Everyone has a great positive attitude.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 best gym in Alpharetta. The staff are always welcoming, super encouraging, and know how to train. You can tell they care to have personal relationships with everyone they work with and accountability is top of mind. BBD built my confidence more in the last three months than I could do on my own in other gyms in four years. The workouts are challenging and specific to my goals and the results speak for themselves. I would recommend this gym to anyone just starting out or seasoned gym rats who want to reach specific goals. I came here to get in shape for my wedding in March, and I plan to stick around afterward. The environment, the coaches, and the facility are all worthy of a glowing review. Thank you BBD team I'm so happy to be a member!

Fantastic experience: The training I've received at Body By Design has been life-changing. My goal going into this program was to correct my posture and build my strength back up. I was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome a few years ago, and I couldn't trust my body to do basis tasks. There were so many things I would avoid doing, because my body seemed so fragile. I literally lived in fear. When I started at Body By Design, I was scared that I might injure myself but the trainers made me feel at ease by ensuring me that these exercises were the best way to prevent injury. Not only do I not experience TOS symptoms anymore, I am able to use my body like I used to! These trainers have given me my life back and I am very grateful. I'll be signing up for another year once my current contract is up.

Fantastic experience: I've tried a plethora of gyms and none of them ever worked out for me until I found Body by Design. I used to think that I enjoy the large groups because I needed motivation, but I've often found that I would over exert myself in the classes and would be miserably sore for a few days and I wouldn't return to class. With Body By Design, I get my own programming that changes periodically as I grow stronger and gain more endurance. I enjoy the personal coaching sessions and the that the workouts are tailored to me. All of the coaches are great and I now look forward to my workouts. The small group classes are great and have so much variety that I'm never bored. In 3 months time, I've already seen changes in my body and I feel so much better these days. As long as I live around here, Body by Design will be my gym. Can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Neal for 6 months now and am 30 lbs down! I have more energy than ever before! Neal and his staff are the best and most knowledgeable personal trainers in the business. The facility and equipment is top notch. If you want results and a trainer who truly cares about you and your health then Body by Design is where you need to be. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: All the trainers are very knowledgeable and always greet me when I walk in.

Fantastic experience: I am 75 years old. I love to play golf, but my back was a problem. I have arthritis in my lower back which makes swinging a golf club difficult, at best. I could barely play 9 holes. My wife was pushing me to exercise and improve my health. I had gone to BbD years earlier, and I remembered the good that did me. So I started back a little over 1 year ago. While I work primarily with Sarah, all of the professionals there are great to work with. I’ve lost inches off my waist and pounds of weight. I’m much stronger and much more flexible. My wife is a gardener and sends me to buy those large bags of dirt. Before I would struggle getting those things in and out of the car but not anymore. The thing I like most is the training has completely strengthened and rebuilt my core. I’m back to playing tournament golf 2 and 3 days in a row. I cannot give BbD enough praise.  Exercise is an investment in living a better more fulfilling life. Thank you, Body by Design. Fred Ethridge

Fantastic experience: If you are in Alpharetta or near by, if you want to create habits that will not only help you achieve your goals but also sustain them to create a lifestyle, definitely try this gym out. Every trainer I’ve worked with here is very professional and focuses on helping you in and out of the gym. Create your own custom goal plan or join a small group class, everything works in sync towards your goal.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at this gym - with chronic back issues and pain, it has always been hard to get into a workout routine let alone make significant progress. Now I have more muscle mass and tone than I ever did before and I’ve learned a lot about what works for my body. It’s a supportive and fun environment that you will enjoy!

Fantastic experience: Body by Design is the best personal training gym in our area! I came to Body by Design as an avid crossfitter that became stagnant in my workouts over the years and gained weight. I was desperate for a serious change. Since starting with Body by Design, I have lost 15lbs in 3 months with their guidance, positive attitudes and daily motivation. With diet and training consistency along with the daily help of my trainers at body by design they have made it easy to stay on track to reach my goals to be where I’m at today. I cannot thank every trainer enough for helping me when I was at my worst to get back to my best! If you are looking for trainers with experience and results this is your place! Thank you Body by Design, you rock!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Body by Design Fitness Studio Alpharetta. I was a member for 4 years and I enjoyed every second of it. I always looked forward to attending my sessions because the staff treated me like family and the workouts were fun. Plus, they were extremely knowledgeable and professional as they helped me lose fat and gain muscle in a safe and effective way.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. The workout equipment is always clean and in top condition. The classes are definitely worth it. I have seen a tremendous difference in my stamina, technique, and tone.

Fantastic experience: I am having the best time working out with this team of trainers! I enjoy 1:1 workouts with Michael and Sarah, and I’m noticing a big difference in my muscle tone, Energy, and shape - I’m getting summer ready and this team makes it fun and I’m learning so much.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and their staff. I’ve always hated working out and going to the gym, but Body by Design has changed my attitude. They provide excellent plans and options for beginners as well as those who are experienced. The staff and members make it a welcoming environment for everyone.

Fantastic experience: I never leave reviews for places but this place is amazing! They are very helpful, nice, and made me feel welcomed the first moment I walked in. I love the fact that it’s a smaller gym and they keep everything really clean. I’ve been going for about 7 or 8 months and it feels like I’m part of a family. All the trainers are very knowledgeable and always greet me when I walk in. I have a bad lower back and some of the workouts can cause it to hurt and when I tell them they always have some alternate I can do and it feels better. If you are looking for a place where you feel at home this is it.

Fantastic experience: I came in knowing nothing about weight training but I knew I wanted to change. I have been going now for 6 months straight and I feel much stronger and healthier. Neal and team create an environment where you feel welcome and they push you to succeed. It really is a great gym to be a part of.

Fantastic experience: BBD is a personalized fitness center that helps you get in shape or to stay in shape… the right way! They have a staff of trainers who are well educated in fitness and nutrition. Each trainer takes the time to know you as a person and to understand what your fitness goals are. They create a month-to-month diversified workout program tailored to your objectives. We begin each session with 8-10 unique warmup exercises. The warmups are strategically designed to activate the muscles which will be used during the training period and to alleviate the potential for injury. We then move onto individual exercises specifically geared toward your personal goals. Each exercise is thoroughly explained and demonstrated by the trainer. The trainer will assist with weight distribution, repetitions, and provide guidance while performing each exercise. My experience with BBD has been great! I have been a member for 6 months and have just renewed my contract. One month at this fitness center and you will be hooked! They are friendly, motivating, and genuinely want to see you succeed. Thank you Neil, Sarah, Bradly, Zach, Mike, & Chloe!

Fantastic experience: Best gym you could possibly find! You will not find a better place than this one! Everyone at the gym wants to work with you to meet your goals no matter how long it takes. The trainers cheer you on no matter what and truly want the best for you. They make custom programs made just for you to help get you there and if you don’t like something they work with you to find an alternative moment that works better. You cannot go wrong with any trainer at this gym. They greet you with a smile and hello the second you walk in and after the first day they remember your name every single time you go in. They truly made it feel like a second home from the moment you walk in!! Not only a second home and family but you start to feel and see results. The offer you an amazing put in the work and a program where you begin to see the results. The trainers meet you where ever you are in your fitness journey and help you grow and get stronger from there. Starting at BBD I could barley do one push up and now I can rep them out and all the thanks goes to the trainers!! I am forever thankful to have found such an amazing gym and have meet the outstanding trainers that come along with it!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Body by Design about one year ago and it has completely transformed my body! The coaches are top quality and ensure the workouts are new and engaging. They cater the workouts to your individual goals and interests, so I was able to learn Olympic Lifting! I have worked out for many years but have never had the results I wanted until I joined this studio. Would recommend this to anyone no matter what your fitness level is!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I simply love this place! You have the option of working with one trainer, or the entire team. Everyone is very knowledgeable; they listen to what you want to accomplish and tailor a program around your specific needs. Not sure this is for you, swing by and talk to Neal or any of the crew, I guarantee you you will change your mind!

Fantastic experience: I have been trying to get back on track with my workout routine and tighten up, and Body by Design gave me the system to do so. The amount of attention each trainer gives you is above and beyond what I was expecting. You can tell they really do care about your goals and will help get you there. I have been going since October, and I feel so much more confident in myself and my body. Would recommend! :)

Fantastic experience: Body by Design is more than just a gym, it is a studio dedicated to improve the physical health of each of it's clients. Since I joined Body By Design four years ago, I have been transformed from a couch potato into a fitness person, a feat which I never knew was possible! I do not believe I would have started to care about exercise had it not have been for the wonderful trainers at this studio. Each and every one of these trainers genuinely cares about their clients and wants to see them succeed. They are incredibly positive, encouraging, funny and kind. The trainers learn each individual client's goals, set them on the path towards achieving their goals and help them set new goals afterwards. In addition to exercise, the trainers have helped me improve other aspects of my health such as making healthy dietary choices, staying properly hydrated and getting enough rest each night. Since I started working out here, I have dramatically improved my diet by making healthy eating choices that will support my exercise goals. I love the Body By Design family and I cannot thank them enough for helping put me on a path to physical success for the rest of my life.

Fantastic experience: Body by design is NOT another rendition of the same old blunt force workout that leaves you hurting, beyond fatigued and discouraged. In past environments I always felt like I was jumping around trying to do the workout designed by athletes FOR ATHLETES. I would think to myself "do they have any idea how hard it is to do this move at my weight?" Diet and Obesity and fitness have a psychological component that is largely ignored. People who are overweight sometimes can't physically contort into certain positions. It is discouraging and overall ineffective. Body by design revolutionized every aspect of the frustration I developed with gyms, trainers, and high intensity workouts for people who struggle with their weight. I will tell you how. 1. Everything is intentional, educated and well thought out. I suffer with disability on top of the obesity and NOT ONCE have I felt defeated or frustrated in a workout. I'm not alone. The trainers are always one step ahead of me telling me what's best for MY body to achieve that same goal. They know everyone is made differently they dont expect every. body. to do the same thing. Not to mention there are wonderful people who attend the gym as well who cheer you on. Its a team! 2. The workouts are effective and restorative. You activate the muscle groups you want to work out, you burn good calories consistently between workouts no matter the day (which I confirmed with a heart rate strap) and you stretch and foam roll to help recover, this is part of the workout. Not bonus points. They have created a culture where stretching is part of the workout. By not waking up those muscle fibers before and not helping them loosen after you are creating an environment of potential injury. This is how they create sustainability. It's not a gimmick, its science. 3. The culture. Environment plays a huge role in comfort during a transformation. Because that's what everyone going in there is doing, trying to transform their body in some way. The trainers genuinely care, they are kind, are highly educated in kinesiology, exercise science, health science, etc. They are in tune with your body, your weaknesses, and your improvement areas. They treat you like family and I am so grateful. I have NEVER been eager to get to the gym and get a workout in. I spent years whining and dreading. I have found the gym that makes me excited to, together, get one step closer to helping me feel better, stronger, and more able in my body...it's in the design. You wont regret it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk haha. Good luck!

Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone. I came in with a number of injuries and the trainers here consulted with me, listened to what doctors and PTs had told me in the past, and helped me work out through the injuries while improving my my condition. Working out here while also doing PT was a perfect combination. Also, the vibes were great and they have all the equipment you could ask for regardless of what kind of exercise you're into. Great place.

Fantastic experience: This is the place to be if you are seriously wanting to get results ! I starting working out at body by design at the end of January with a goal to lose 20lbs. Not only did body by design help me reach my goal they also helped me get my confidence back ! I’m no longer self conscious about entering the gym and feel great about my progress going forward. The icing on the cake is how nice everyone is from the time you enter with Stephanie being so sweet and helpful answering questions! And shout out to the trainers I worked with the most Bradley, Neil and Sarah who always showed up ready to push and encourage me throughout this journey!! Thank you body by design !!!

Fantastic experience: Body By Design has a welcoming and caring atmosphere. The owner Neal is very engaged with all of the clients, he takes a person interest in their progress, and is consistently motiving us to achieve our goals. Body by Design creates fitness and nutrition plans for all levels. The small group classes and the semi private session will accommodate your fitness level and goal. The coaches are passionate about teaching the clients correct forms of working out, stretching/breathing techniques, and weekly lessons on nutrition and wellness! I am excited about the progress I have made in my nutrition, and fitness goals. I am looking forward to continuing my journey at Body By Design!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym run by great people. Trainers tailor programs according to what you want to achieve. A family atmosphere. The trainers are great!

Fantastic experience: the term 'good' here offered by Google isn't strong enough - this operation is like a primer on how a fitness studio like this should operate - the team of coaches are remarkably in tune with each other and in a caring attitude to serve the members, and put service first in meeting the fitness needs, goals and fitness levels of each member - I was reasonably fit when I started this process 6 months ago, but I have achieved strength here that I wasn't expecting - this place is like a family among the team and the members - I look forward to carrying my 6 decade body well into the future - for anyone considering a committed personally trained strength and conditioning program - I can't recommend Body by Design highly enough - and btw, keeping the studio carefully clean and safe during the season of the 'wicked virus' is a priority that is well practiced

Positive experience: Great atmosphere and upbeat professional staff. I’ve have excellent results. They tailor a program that works for your condition and goals. Full range of equipment too.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!!! The trainers are amazing and know the best ways to help you reach your goals. You will not regret joining!

Negative experience: Super judgmental staff, I came to stop by to check out what kind of classes they offered because I am new to the area. Before I could exist my car two people stepped outside and told me I needed to move my car because of the member only sign. I told them I was coming inside but they insisted I moved because someone was coming, needless to say I moved not worth an argument. I definitely did not take the time to go in. Especially since the spot was left vacant.

Fantastic experience: I simply love this place! You have the option of working with one trainer, or the entire team. Everyone is very knowledgeable; they listen to what you want to accomplish and tailor a program around your specific needs. Not sure this is for you, swing by and talk to Neal or any of the crew, I guarantee you you will change your mind!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio with the BEST trainers and environment you could ask for! Custom programming and awesome small group sessions - the entire staff is super knowledgeable on proper form and ensures every session progresses so you continue to get results. You won’t regret trying it out!!

Fantastic experience: I kicked off 2021 with a training session today at BBD. If you are looking for the most qualified team of trainers, in an studio with the best programs and equipment to help you achieve your goals, give BBD a try! Neal, Tony, Sarah, Chloe, Bradley and Zach will motivate and encourage you to do your best. If you commit to your program, you WILL get results!

Fantastic experience: By far the best personal training. The owner Neal has put together a fantastic staff that really care about your health and fitness.Very knowledgeable. Gym facility is great and clean always! Highly recommend Body by Design to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a different, positive, and purposeful approach to fitness and overall health. Smaller in physical size compared to the typical big box gyms, but far larger and greater in terms of enabling its members to meet their fitness goals. All great trainers, male and female, each who know the members personally by name. Literally every one. You don’t get that anywhere else and can’t walk in there and not feel energized. You get a really personalized plan and a team of highly credentialed true experts behind you to get you where you want to be. All you have to do is show up consistently, put in the work, and they will get you to your goals while being as productive and safe as possible on the way. It doesn’t get any better.

Fantastic experience: I was a member at Body for 2 years and loved every minute of it. I moved out of state, and miss everyone there. I learned a lot about weightlifting from Tony, Jazz, Sarah, and Bradley, plus I got to continue kickboxing with Chloe. I worked on many fitness goals and this team at Body supported me each step of the way. I lost a ton of weight, hit lifting PRs (personal records), and healed an injury. You name it, they assisted. It's not just a gym, it is a family.

Fantastic experience: This Gym has literally been life changing for me. The trainers are awesome. Some of them have become basically family members. I have lost 60 pounds, and love how everyone is always in your corner. Checking on your nutrition and just want you to be successful. Great people.

Fantastic experience: Best gym experience I have ever had! All of the trainers are amazing! Extensive knowledge and professionalism. I have been with Body by Design for 3 years and even drive an hour to work out here after I moved. They cannot be beat.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Neal & the whole team at BBD. I had always tried to "get in shape" over the years- with varying degrees of success- but never with any professional guidance or plan. There's a great mix of trainers at BBD, each with unique skill sets that help you maximize results while keeping the training new and interesting. They'll even create you a personalized nutrition plan for outside of the gym. This place has a laid-back, no-pressure vibe, the atmosphere with the other clients is one of encouragement, and the music is (usually) right on point! Highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: This is THE best gym I have ever joined and the only one that provides such personal service. You have so many choices and the workouts are constantly changed up so you never get bored. I joined a year ago and still learn new moves on a regular basis. The added personal touch is top notch and includes everything from nutrition to injury modifications to a warm greeting every time you arrive/leave from all of the awesome trainers. The constant encouragement to see you succeed is non-stop. I was SUPER nervous when I first started, but quickly learned that the incredible trainers take their time to make sure you learn each move correctly so that you do not get injured. I never belonged to a gym with such personal focus and I will never go back to the big box gyms again as the grass is definitely greener on this side!

Fantastic experience: One of the best investments I have made in myself was signing up at Body by Design. At first, I was hesitant before deciding to make the commitment. 2 and a half years later, the time has flown by and I've experienced great results. The trainers and staff here are awesome and know how to make the process fun and motivating. I'm super thankful to have had the opportunity to belong to such a great gym for the past few years. I would recommend Body by Design to anyone who is interested in improving their fitness, health, and life.

Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed Body By Design. I have worked with other trainers and had memberships with other gyms; I can tell you first-hand Body By Design is different. The trainers here care about your goals as well as your limitations. The programs are tailored to your level and needs. While I have only been a member for a short time, I can say I have never felt burnt out or overworked. I have enjoyed coming back! I can see and feel the difference, and I know you will experience that too!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Body by design for more than a year . My trainer Tony has been nothing short of amazing trainer . I have improved in my strength and toned up a lot . Lately I am having health issues and he is so nice to put me on ease by saying once I come back regularly my Strength will improve. Body by design is more than a gym it's s family ,I have worked out with other trainers too . All the trainers are knowledgeable and listen to your concerns and works with you to get you to achieve your goals

Fantastic experience: Amazing value for your money. Every member of the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about fitness and your personal needs. The owner is fantastic They are always very flexible to your schedule. I've had times where I had to reschedule last minute and they always help you find a way to get in. The gym is also always clean, and they do a great job disinfecting the place during this pandemic. 100% would recommend.

Fantastic experience: This gym is just amazing! All of the people there are very motivating and really push you to your limit. I always recommend this gym to everyone because the training there is just incredible.

Fantastic experience: Great place with great people for all skill levels. Tony helped me with my form on a bunch of different lifts and we talked about ways to work around an injury I have as well as some nutrition stuff. They're super knowledgeable and super friendly. I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Comfortable vibe with very experienced trainers.. Body By Design is a boutique gym with individualized training and results! Staff is friendly and professional. Trainers get you motivated and really care about their clients! If you want results, go to Body By Design!

Fantastic experience: Before coming to BBD, I struggled with low back pain due to herniated disk issues. The BBD team carefully evaluated my injuries and recommended a workout plan to address my back pain and build strength. I saw results after just a few weeks but now after over a year, I’ve never felt better. The back pain is gone and I feel great. The BBD team really knows what they’re doing and makes it fun to work out. The gym is clean and very well equipped. Give BBD a try, you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: I came to BbD with a very specific and what felt like an unachievable goal. I has always eaten somewhat healthy, I have always worked out, I am already skinny, I felt “OK” with the way I looked. Then my wedding day was coming, I didn’t want to look OK, I wanted to look AMAZING. I wanted to look strong and not skinny. Because I already worked out, it was very important to me to place myself in an environment where I was more than just a number. That my goals would be their goals and I would get the attention/dedication I wanted. It wasn’t easy to understand how my body worked. Somedays I cried out of frustration, but I always showed up and did my part. Most importantly, I had the greatest trainers out there motivating me and making me push myself. I achieved the best shape of my life. Joining BbD changed my life forever. My wedding was already months ago but I keep showing up because this is not just a gym, when you join BbD you become part of the family. Their are more than certified trainers, they are a team, and they make you part of it. I have felt extreme dedication from their part to support me to constantly reach my goals. If you are reading this, you took the first step to change your life style. Don’t think about it twice, this is the place for you no matter what your goals are! BdD is where you want to be.

Fantastic experience: I came to this gym wanting to perfect my form on certain lifts as well as learn the form for weightlifting. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They can help you get stronger while also emphasizing safety with the form they teach you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a different, positive, and purposeful approach to fitness and overall health. Smaller in physical size compared to the typical big box gyms, but far larger and greater in terms of enabling its members to meet their fitness goals. All great trainers, male and female, each who know the members personally by name. Literally every one. You don’t get that anywhere else and can’t walk in there and not feel energized. You get a really personalized plan and a team of highly credentialed true experts behind you to get you where you want to be. All you have to do is show up consistently, put in the work, and they will get you to your goals while being as productive and safe as possible on the way. It doesn’t get any better.

Fantastic experience: Joining BBD has been an amazing experience for me and my husband. We workout together, but have customized workouts based on our different goals. Jazz is awesome and we look forward to working out thanks to her!

Fantastic experience: Body by Design is awesome. The trainers are so good at what they do. They are great with people at every fitness level. When you walk in everyone greets you, not just the staff but the other people working out. It is like walking into a group of friends. I started going there because I knew I had lost upper body strength and my balance was a problem. At my age a fall can be life threatening. Every day I am grateful I found Body by Design and all the people there. My upper body strength and balance are so much better than when I started. Not only am I much stronger but also thinner and much more toned.

Fantastic experience: I started working out at Body by Design in May and absolutely fell in love with it! Honestly it’s hands down he best gym I’ve ever been apart of. The staff is the best part. Everyone is super encouraging and amazing. I highly recommend this gym to everyone if they are wanting one on one training or group training. You will see awesome results no doubt. The facility is super clean and it’s overall a great environment to be around. I loved working out with everyone there!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! My body has never felt so good...lean, toned, and strong. Extremely knowledgable staff that's very passionate about their clients seeing results.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend this studio to anyone, I have nothing but great things to say about Body By Design! When you join Body by Design you are not just getting an incredible workout, but you are getting a whole fitness community along with it! While I was there I took several sessions with Sarah and she is incredible!! My main goal was to learn the correct form when lifting heavy weights and she helped me every step of the way! She was so well educated and knew exactly what she was doing! She not only helped me with the fitness side of things but she took the time to learn about my fitness goals and gave me nutritional advice as well. Definitely take her classes! So sad I had to move to Texas...wish I could take this studio along with me!

Fantastic experience: Being a physician myself, I can say that this is a very special place. Body by design is a top-flight personal training gym. It was such a refreshing break from all the other hype-based training gyms. Neal Smith, the owner, has gathered an all-star staff of trainers. Each and everyone of them has a deep fundamental understanding of exercise physiology and overall health that they used to get me dramatically closer to my fitness goals in a short period of time. They pay particular attention to proper form and technique, understand where and when to push you, but also educate you on how to prevent injury. If it’s any indication of how I feel about this place, I actually got my own mother to join. Within a matter of 2 to 3 months at BBD she was moving like she was 20 years younger! Beyond giving their clients the gift of REAL progress, the fact they every trainer at the gym is super positive and sincerely vested in their clients goals makes each workout a great experience!

Fantastic experience: I had a local gym membership for a while, and was really seeing no results. I realized that I needed a trainer to help get me to the next level and achieve my fitness goals for military readiness. Coach Neal Smith has done a great job creating a top notch team at the Body By Design Fitness Studio. They help clients outline a personal fitness plan and set reasonable goals over time. They are extremely flexible and accommodating to busy schedules because they understand that life happens. I have been working with Coach Tony a lot who also serves as a Captain in Georgia’s National Guard. Day in and day out he, Coach Jon, and others make sure that I am staying driven to hit the goals that we have set. I am happy to say that with the help of Tony and BBD, all aspects of my military readiness have greatly improved and I’ve seen a huge increase in my Army Personal Fitness Test scores. The studio has been recently expanded, including the addition of lots of new weights and machines. BBD is great for anyone looking to make fitness improvements in their life, especially young athletes like myself.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to personal training sessions at Body by Design for almost a year. It is a very positive place, full of energy and vitality. Although Neal has been my primary coach, I’ve worked with all of the coaches during my time at the studio. Each and every coach takes the time to get to know you and your fitness goals. They work together as a team to help each client reach their full potential. During my workout with Coach Chris one night, I casually mentioned how I wish I could get my 21 year old daughter into the gym. My efforts to instill a healthy lifestyle had failed. Chris quickly offered to let my daughter come in and try a workout with me. He was confident she would have a great experience. Shock and surprise, the couch potato really enjoyed it. Now we workout together a couple times a week. And because nutrition discussions are part of the program, she’s making much healthier food choices without Mom having to nag! I loved my personal fitness time at the studio but now that my daughter is involved, I’m thrilled. Neal, Chris and the entire team are such a positive influence in our lives. If you are looking for fun, motivation, accountability and results...Body by Design is THE PLACE.

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best and smartest trainers I’ve worked with. 10/10 recommend this studio. The facility has also grown and is clean with the best equipment you can find.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about this facility! This is the best personal training and small group in the Alphartta area! We have so many friends and Patients that go And all rave about it. If you haven’t checked it out you must see it! If you need results, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: My biggest concern following a move from Australia was to find a great gym equal to what I was used to. After 2 weeks of despair I found my new gym home! Body by Design was even better than what I was looking for. I knew it was my new gym home the minute I walked in. The team is passionate about fitness and well being - doesn't matter if you are training for competition, recovering from a health issue, looking to lose weight or just want to build on your general fitness and strength - they deliver on the promise. Oh and those days when you've had the most challenging day at work and stress levels are high, well you walk out on a cloud - Body by Design is equally about mind as it is about body. Amazing team of trainers; fabulous gym family.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Body By Design seriously for about 4 months. In that time the trainers there have helped me design both a personal training regiment and diet. In that time working with them, I have lost over 50lbs. and really learned the technique I needed to improve my performance! The Staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable on everything you need to do to improve your physical fitness! The facilities are conveniently located and have a variety of workout equipment so you can your workout plan can be tailored to your needs. Cant recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get a great workout and nutrition support! As a big girl, I always felt supported and like they had my back! They worked with my schedule when life happened and really cared! Everyone there is amazing, and my personal favorite is Chris Carter! :) My back would go out every few months and have me on my coach for a few days but for the whole time I worked out with them, it NEVER went out (almost a year)! And I was not super consistent in my workouts and eating. They KNOW their stuff here!!
