Body Refinery Gym: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I just signed up today and John the owner is such a fantastic person! John went out of his way to make sure I understood the machines and personally showed me how to use them all.
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Was a member here for ~2 years. Equipment is well taken care of and appreciated my time here. The 24hr access is extremely convenient. John is a wonderful owner and cares about BRG members
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and wonderful owner!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, been going 5 years
Fantastic experience: Body Refinery is hands down the best gym in mid-missouri! Has all the equipment one would need to get a great workout in. Facility is top notch, always clean, and the staff are there to help! Having 24/7 access comes in handy too! You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Great environment and has everything you need! 10/10 recommend!
Fantastic experience: I accidentally drove by this gym. Ive been a member to other local gyms. Crunch doesnt allow cash or paid in full. Anytime is expensive and small but good. Planet is morally corrupt. This gym is owned by a Fitness Nerd and I say that nicely. I walked in, no appointment and received a grand tour. The owner himself demo’d almost every machine I expressed interest in. I laughed at his 90-degree leg press and he showed me why it was safe and how to use it and how it could potential benefit my ailing knee. The guy was awesome. The gym has unique machines and movements. The floors are clean; I saw them walk the floor with a backpack-vac. Everything is taken seriously here. It’s a gym for people that care about their bodies and level of fitness they can achieve. The 150lb dumbbells are signed by lifters that achieved their goals. Hell of a place.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great staff, and the people who go here are amazing. Love that sauna too!
Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience at this gym, equipment is top notch. The atmosphere is great and the owner is a great person who is always eager to help!
Fantastic experience: Almost every time I’m in there I see the owner fixing and maintaining his equipment because he cares. He is genuinely a great guy, After almost a year, I came back into the gym, and he remembered who I was and even my name. Body refinery has some of the best gym equipment in Columbia. The only thing I would change is the music that’s played, unfortunately, it’s remixes of songs like Crunch does but if you listen to your own music, it’s not a problem.
Fantastic experience: I've been in dozens of gyms over the years and Body Refinery Gym is my home! They maintain top notch equipment, it's always clean, it's spacious and yet not too big! The atmosphere is one if the best I've ever belonged to. They have members ranging from people in their 80s to professional bodybuilders and everybody in between of all stages of fitness.
Negative experience: Most discouraging gym I've gone to ever. Just because I use a wheelchair, the rep said I'd be unable to do 99.9% of the exercises in his gym, he looked at me like i was done already and needed too quit. FTP

Fantastic experience: First class gym!!! The best gym in COMO hands down. Great machines, plenty of space, and 24/7 access!
Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Columbia, Missouri!! Lots of weights, clean, and great machines
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gym in Columbia. Good mix of powerlifting/CrossFit/and bodybuilding equipment. Recommend to anyone in Columbia!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in town, bar none. Excellent equipment, attentive to the desires and needs of their clientele, clean, incredible pricing. So glad I found this place.
Fantastic experience: In my opinion this place is gonna be the best bang for your buck by a long shot as far as gyms go in como. Never gets too crowded, they have some pretty top-notch equipment, and they really clean/maintain the place well. Fantastic job.
Fantastic experience: This is the most professional and best gym in Columbia Missouri!!! Lots of professional machines inside the gym! The price of membership is worthwhile!!
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in Columbia. I was a member for my 4 years at mizzou and it was a great pick. A ton of awesome unique equipment you won’t find anywhere else. The owner and staff was always so nice and helped out a ton with questions regarding memberships. If you care about your health and want to be a part of an awesome gym community, then this is the place to be.
Fantastic experience: Best equipment in Columbia! Always clean and always open
Negative experience: Is this place getting fake reviews or something? They are charging 75$ a month for a very mid gym. I was paying 70$ a month in my home town and they literally had a in-door swimming pool, indoor basketball court, inside track, outside track, lots of machines/free weights, treadmills with TV’s, etc. I’m so confused on why it’s 75$ a month…. Gym is probably a 3.5/5 star gym but the cost just doesn’t make any sense. It’s like going to a restaurant and paying 100$ a plate but the food is just… okay…. Like it’s not bad.. was actually pretty good but for 100$ a plate…. Come on
Fantastic experience: Cleanest gym, not crowded, good equipment.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Columbia!!!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a variety of equipment! Great atmosphere to workout in. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! Really welcoming and find whats best to suit your needs! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with a rock star owner. BR is by far my favorite gym in Columbia.
Positive experience: Really nice gym, clean good equipment. The only problem it has is that the environment is some what unfriendly and cold. I have heard many people who go to the gym say they feel like outsiders when walking into the gym. When staff is present they do not enter act with the customer. It feels like you are at a college library not a gym. Lastly they do not participate with the the Missouri Wellness Program which is pathetic. This state program pays gym memberships for those who qualify due to illness, financial restrictions, or disability.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Hangin' & bangin' approved.
Fantastic experience: Best gym to workout. It is a well managed gym with nice staff members. ????
Fantastic experience: Very dedicated to ensuring members are the only ones who train here. Decent spread of equipment from barbells to bodybuilding equipment, and the facility is very well kept (a must for me). Very nice spot to train overall.
Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for 4 years now and it's hands down the nicest gym in Columbia. Always adding and updating equipment, and is always very clean. John and staff are always super friendly.
Fantastic experience: It's 24 hours, there's a sauna in the locker room, showers, and plenty of lockers. There's a turf strip and a power sled, and a great variety of cardio, weight machines, and free weights.
Fantastic experience: Well it’s nice to said that I was wrong and that’s ok to .. Was nice to talk to J this morning .. thank u man .. Let’s keep moving and from my side I apologize ... feels Better now

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and faculty, very clean and accommodating. A gym that can fit anyones workout needs.
Fantastic experience: If your looking for a great personal trainer, I highly recommend Michael Luongo. He is clean, professional and keeps me motivated. His work outs are AMAZING, and are doing the trick. I've already lost tons of weight and feel better than ever.
Fantastic experience: I've worked with John Zhao and his team for a couple years now. Great service all around and they know how to take care of their customers. The new location is great!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym In Town!!!!! John and staff are always friendly and understanding of a wide range of guest needs. My family had to stop coming due to the pandemic and John froze everyone's account but mine so I could keep coming......all I had to do was ask!!!! I love Body Refinery Gym!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! They have all the equipment you could possibly need, and seem to always be adding more. They offer lots of fun group fitness classes too!

Positive experience: I went over to Body Refinery earlier this week to check it out and get some more information on membership options. The facility itself is nice, clean, and has a good variety of equipment there. Unfortunately, that was where my positive experience ended. I walked up to the front desk and asked to look around the gym and get more info on memberships.The man at the front desk who assisted me stereotyped that I was a female and spent an extensive amount of time discussing the various group fitness and yoga classes they had, along with spending too much time showing me around the cardio room/ group fitness studios. When he finally took me in to the weight room, he quickly walked through the area and spoke with his back facing me the entire time. He did not seem interested in showing me around that portion of the gym at all. As we arrived back to the front desk, he ONCE AGAIN brought up group fitness classes with me. At this point, I kindly mentioned to him that I am not there to do group fitness, and that the whole reason I wanted to join BRG was for the strength equipment. I lift several days a week, and was very offended that this man assumed by my stature and overall appearance that I only wanted to do group classes or cardio. What amazed me even more is that he never asked me once what my goals were, or why I was interested in their gym. I have never gone somewhere that did not ask me what brought me there, then catered my tour to my goals. I also have never walked out of a gym feeling so disrespected and in shock of an experience I had. After the experience I had earlier this week, I am going to take my money elsewhere to a gym that respects all members more than that.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town! I've been a member at 5 other gyms in 3 cities (two of those gyms are in Columbia MO) and this is by far the best! The staff greets you with a smile and friendly "hello" every time you come in, like it's the first time they've ever seen you... even though it's the fifth time they have seen me that week lol. It has a family like atmosphere, it's always clean and smells good. Equipment is well kept and they have every piece of equipment you will ever need. I rarely have to wait for a machine/equipment too, even a peak times. Amenities are great...free three day trial, lots of classes and excellent child care, which is very important to me, AND it's all very reasonably priced.
Fantastic experience: BRG is by far the best gym in Columbia, Missouri. The staff and the owners are some of the best it town with top notch customer service. The gym is always clean and has some of the newest and best quality equipment around. Highly recommend BRG if your looking for a gym in Columbia!!

Fantastic experience: I went in for the first day of my three day free trial and signed up right away! Staff was great, friendly and gave me a quick tour of the place at my request.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Been gym searching since moving to Columbia this past summer. Most of the gyms in town weren’t exactly what I had in mind, or over priced for what you get. Body Refinery has everything I need and decently priced! The facility is very clean and organized!!! Definitely recommend this place! Signed up the first day of my three day trial! Also it’s 24/7!!!
Thank you Kendall, welcome to Columbia, please let us know anything else we could help with.

Thank you Bianca.
Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend BRG. The staff is so professional, the facilities are second to none, and the 24 access has been clutch for me. I also cannot recommend highly enough, the childcare. I have been to other places in town where the childcare is an after thought -- and my kids beg to go to BRG, we have literally gone there because my kids won't leave me alone about it:) They have so much fun, make crafts, play and make friends every time. It is so above and beyond typical gym childcare. If you are thinking about the team training, please try it. I have been so impressed by the professionalism of the staff and the workout I get in one hour. They are super attentive and supportive, and the workout is different every time. Personally, I love the focus on cardio:) If you are even considering BRG, PLEASE give it a try. You won't understand until you see it for yourself and I have never heard of someone who wasn't impressed.
Thank you Kristen!
