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!

Id 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 youre into. Great place.

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 !!!

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!!

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!

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! :)

Body by Design is more than just a gym, it is a studio dedicated to improve the physical health of each of its clients. Since I joined Body By Design two 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 care about their clients and want to see them succeed. They are incredibly positive, encouraging, funny and kind. The trainers learn each individual clients goals and 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.

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!

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.

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 Ive experienced great results. The trainers and staff here are awesome and know how to make the process fun and motivating. Im 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.

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 cant 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. Im not alone. The trainers are always one step ahead of me telling me whats 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. Its not a gimmick, its science.3. The culture. Environment plays a huge role in comfort during a transformation. Because thats 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...its in the design. You wont regret it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk haha. Good luck!

Amazing value for your money. Every member of the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about fitness and your personal needs. The owner is fantasticThey are always very flexible to your schedule. Ive 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 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!!

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.

Great place to work at, amazin staff and daniel was awesome!

The term good here offered by Google isnt 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 wasnt 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 cant 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

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

Worst place for a workout ever, please stay away. You better go to LA.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. Theyre super knowledgeable and super friendly. I cant recommend them enough.

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!

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!

Love this gym, this place is so great and super amazing with the best coaches in Atlanta. I would recommend this studio to everyone. :)

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.

I have been with Body by Design for about a year taking personal training. I have been going to Gyms in the Atlanta area for a number of years but always felt a lack of technique in my exercises and experienced frequent back pain. All of that changed after I joined Body by Design. Everything starting with right technique and strength building to strenuous exercise and weight lifting has been a very professional and enjoyable experience. All of the trainers (Neal, Tony, Jon, Vinny, Chloe, Gina, Ryan & Chris) are extremely dedicated and show genuine interest in your progress. This is the first time I have worked closely with professional trainers and it has been an amazing experience. Jon has played a pivotal role in my training. He gives a unique workout with attention to detail and is really good at explaining the notion behind the training and techniques used. He has done an amazing job challenging me in every session while also keeping an eye on technique and posture. I have also gotten more disciplined in my diet thanks to the nutrition plan provided. Body by Design has become part of my life routine and I always look forward to the next session. Kudos to the entire team @ Body by Design

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. Its not just a gym, it is a family.

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.

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!

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. Theres a great mix of trainers at BBD, each with unique skill sets that help you maximize results while keeping the training new and interesting. Theyll 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!

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!

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.

My wife has been working out at BBD for several years. The nutrition, coaching, and camaraderie have been wonderful for her. While I personally don’t go to gyms, the staff, especially Sarah and Tony have been terrific.

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.

Body by Design is by far the best fitness studio I have every encountered. Everyone on the staff is sincerely interested in helping you meet your own personal goals. Body by Design provides a complete physical fitness program that addressed both exercise and nutrition. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, you have your own personal coach, but everyone on the staff is there to help you at any time. I would highly recommend Body by Design to anyone, regardless of age, wanting to improve their physical fitness and weight.Sharon W Alpharetta

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed waking up at 6am every morning to go workout... but somehow this coaching team makes every second of my fitness journey enjoyable. Going to the studio has become something I look forward to everyday and I can honestly say that becoming a part of this fitness family is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.No goal is unreachable with this awesome, loving and supporting team.

Bathrooms were nasty, no sanitation at all.

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 myStrength will improve. Body by design is more than a gym its 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

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!

Body by design has completely changed my perspective on working out!When my wife and I came for our intro session our trainer Jaz asked me why I didnt enjoy working out. I was quite frank with her and said: I honestly hate to pick things up to just put them back down!  We laughed and went on with the session. Now lets fast forward six months... I am in the best shape I have EVER been in due to Jazs ability to push me and keep things interesting! I have nearly cut my body fat percentage in half while enjoying EVERY SECOND OF IT!The programs are curated to clients needs and every trainer there has your safety and best interest in mind. They are all happy to be there and seem to genuinely LOVE what they do.Stop wasting your money at Planet Fitness, LA or other generic gyms and invest in your health at Body By Design!

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!

I absolutely love this place!!! Five stars is not enough!!! I have been to a lot of other gyms and had other trainers but always dreaded working out until Body by Design. The trainers are amazing!!!Their background in fitness education is impressive. When I walk in I am always greeted by all the trainers. I can’t recommend this place enough. Such an amazing group!!! ❤️

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.

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!

Ive 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!

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 - doesnt 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 youve 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.

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!

Without a doubt, you need to train with this team! Ive been working out with Josh twice a week for the past 6 months and Im thrilled with the results! Ive lost 14 pounds and 12% body fat and Im confident its never coming back. Josh focuses on making lifestyle changes that are sustainable and tailors every single session to meet your specific needs. Hes realistic in his expectations but he will push you beyond what you think youre capable of. Ive asked for his opinion on recipes and workouts more times than I can count and hes provided honest, genuine feedback every time!These guys really do work together as a team, getting to know every client who walks in the door, regardless of who their trainer is. Neal, Tony, and Lauren are constantly providing words of encouragement during work outs and have no hesitation when asked to work with another trainers client if their out of town.I dare you to work out with this team and not see results!

Neal, the owner, is awesome. He is so knowledgeable about the body and fitness. He doesnt have a cookie cutter approach like most of these places. He can look at your body and movements and put together a truly customized workout. Most trainers claim to do this but they dont really have an idea about the mechanics of the body, preventing injury, etc. Its clear he lives and breaths fitness and you couldnt be in better hands.

There arent enough great things to say about Body By Design. I have been a member for a year, and the trainers here have changed my life for the better. I have to move back to Massachusetts, and the thing I am going to miss the most down here is Body By Design. The atmosphere inside the studio is very upbeat, energetic, and positive. You can feel it from the moment you walk in when the trainers greet you with a big smile and seem genuinely excited that you are there. They were always patient, and listened to every concern I had about lifting certain weight or specific movements. And it didnt just stop with that - they were extremely accommodating to my travel schedule and helped me find ways to stay on track while traveling. They have changed my relationship and attitude towards working out, eating right, and going to the gym. It has become something that I enjoy and look forward to now. Also, they will go above and beyond in any way they can (thank you Tony for helping me practice my Spanish ☺️). Thank you Neal, Tony, Jon, Gina, Chloe, and Vinny for everything!!

I went in search of a fitness studio to help me strengthen my knee, tone up, and loose some weight in the process. Neil was very knowledgeable and all the trainers are wonderful. They have helped me strengthen and tone and lost 10 pounds so far and lots of inches on my waist. Knee is stronger. Got paired with an awesome workout partner. Could not be happier with my decision to go here

Body By Design has become somewhat of a hangout as well as a gym for me. After being a member of this gym for nearly four years, I have come to know the trainers and have become so much more confident in my self while also feeling comfortable in a gym setting. I have figured out what workouts work for me as well as how to properly and safely weight lift (something i never would have previously seen myself doing). Neal does an amazing job at making sure his clients feel comfortable while being able to push themselves to limits that might not have previously been seen as a possobility. Whether you are a beginner gym goer looking to Fulfill your New Years resolution or a pro in the gym, you can use a gym like Body By Design.

I highly recommend Body by Deign for anyone wanting a personal trainer. I personally was tired of being fat. I needed a place to go to be accountable, as I was fat due to being lazy. They delivered a tailored workout plan for me to lose weight and firm the fat. The staff are all professional and knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. So far in a fairly short period of time I have been able to lose weight and inches. I have more energy and feel much better.

The motivation, support and personal guidance you receive from such knowledge trainers are some of the many reasons to choose Body By Design. There is no amount of training and working out that I could have done on my own that could get the results that these trainers did for me in one short year. They genuinely care and will customize and personalize everything to you and your needs. Even the other members here are so supportive and you look forward to seeing them every day AND they hold you accountable. I cant say enough fantastic things about this place! Thank you Jon Lundahl for amazing results and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

This place is excellent.At Body by design you will have the best workout of your life, fast results without getting hurt. Theyre highly qualified trainers, and they will make sure that you are doing every single exercise the right way.For me,this place is like my second home.I love it.

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!!

Body By Design has changed my life. Neal and Tony have designed a program specifically for me... And its working! Everyone at Body By Design wants you to succeed! There is no intimidation... in fact, they literally cheer you on while they are kicking your ass! The workouts are challenging and innovative with great variety . And in addition to working out, Tony is also coaching me on nutrition, eating habits, and teaching me how to take control of my body again.If you are serious about making a change, Body by Design is the place!

Tony and the rest of the staff here are phenomenal. It doesnt take a lifting expert to know that these guys know their stuff, are patient with you, and care and want you to achieve your goals. Cant recommend these guys enough!

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!

I usually work with a trainer just to stay active, with the primary goal of avoiding injury. Working with Tony changed my whole outlook. He showed me that I can do a lot more. Over the last six months, I have become stronger, more flexible, and more confident about doing physical tasks in my everyday life. I love lifting weights and seeing how much I progress over time. I would strongly recommend Body by Design for anyone, as they are able to customize their program to each persons fitness level, goals and issues - and make it fun at the same time. I am really glad my chiropractor referred me to Neal and Tony.

After our workout at Body by Design, my wife and I went to a nearby restaurant to fill up on some good food. Our server, who had seen us coming and going over the last few months, complemented us on our appearance. Later, our server shared with us that her father had recently taken early retirement, had become more inactive, and she was concerned for his health. I encouraged her to meet with Neal, our private instructor at Body by Design.

Body By Design is THE premier fitness studio in north Fulton! I have been training with the owner, Neal Smith, for over 3 years and at 46 I am in the best shape of my life. All of the trainers are not only experienced & certified, but encouraging & supportive. Their nutrition guidance coupled with proper technique training have enabled me to live a more fulfilling and healthy lifestyle.

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.

Never have I ever had such a great time working out. The people are nice and very professional. When I initially signed up, I laughed because it was for 30 minutes a session. What can be accomplished in 30 minutes? Plenty!!! I am usually sweating after the first 5 minutes. They never give me anything I cannot handle. I complain the ENTIRE time and they encourage me to stay the course and not give up. I lost 3 dress sizes in less than 6 months. I am looking forward to bikini season.

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.

I have been a member of Body By Design since Sept 2017. I have to say that Vinny is one of the best trainers in Atlanta! He is extremely personable and knowledgeable. If you are unsure of what to eat/when to eat it- he is just a text message away! If you are looking for a gym with high energy with trainers who truely cares about you! Look no further- I have lost almost 40 lbs and i only saw Vinny twice a week- he gives you the knowledge and the resources to be successful outside of the gym! - I cannot wait until January when I have more time to go back to this place! It truely has changed my life!!!!!!Highly recommended!!PS- they know all of their clients names by heart and will change the music in the gym to your liking!

Body by Design is a diamond in the rough for personal training and overall fitness.Working out and being enrolled in sports my entire life I have been told a variety of contradicting methods and correct ways to lift. This lead to me never feeling comfortable adding a ton of weight to my main compound exercises (squat, dead-lift, bent over-row, bench, overhead press, and hang-clings) or even using them at all in fear of hurting myself from bad form.After only 4 months of practicing my form I have made major jumps on all my personal records for all major lifts. Not only have I made great strides on all my lifts I no longer have the clicking knees, painful lower back, or joint problems that usually went hand in hand with lifting slightly heavy on barbell lifts.The trainers are all top of the line and extremely knowledgeable at their craft. Not only do the trainers take great pride in their knowledge of health and fitness they truly have a strong passion that is clearly infectious around the entire gym. BBD offers a variety of trainers that all have their own niche of personal training. Whatever you are looking for in a trainer you are bound to find that perfect fit to help you reach your goals and motivate you the entire way.If you’re looking to get in shape and make difference in your health and fitness I would look no further that Body by Design Fitness Studio. Most trainers claim to provide custom workouts but in reality, just handing you cookie cutouts they provide to all their customers with slight differences. Trainers are all genuine people who only want to see you succeed and leave feeling like you’ve better yourself every time you leave their studio.I would highly recommend BBD to anyone regardless of age, wanting to improve their health and fitness.

I love Body by Design in Alpharetta! It is a great facility and the trainers are amazing. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and extremely motivational. They all have such diverse backgrounds and work together as a great team which provides us with the best plans to achieve our goals and have fun in the process!

This is the best place to go to if you want to be surrounded by supportive and motivating coaches that genuinely want to see you improve!! 15/10 recommend go here, nowhere else :)

I’ve been going to Body by Design for 6 months and I’m very pleased with my results. My goal is to build muscle mass while not losing weight. After doing some research and meeting with Neal I decided this was the right gym for me. Neal and his team’s knowledge is unparallel with other gyms and my workouts are specific to my needs. Almost anyone can become a certified trainer but these guys are selectively chosen and do an excellent job.

Neil and Tony provide a training program that works. Plenty of equipment to keep workouts interesting. The gym is always clean and equipment is well maintained. A fun place for all skill levels.

Great staff that’s full of knowledge regarding workouts and nutrition. They give each person individual attention even in group workouts. They are friendly and make the misery of working out, fun!

If youre looking for a gym with trainers who genuinely care about you as a client then this is the place for you! The atmosphere is so different from other places. Its always warm, friendly, upbeat, personable, and filled with the spirit of camaraderie. As an athlete whos had some serious injuries in the past, I wont let just anyone train me. I look for someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, and can adapt to my personal needs. Too many trainers in the past forced me through generic, cookie cutter workouts and wouldnt listen to my concerns. Every trainer at this facility puts work into personalizing each clients program. Theyre accessible and happy to share their knowledge with you even if youre not in a session at the time. These guys never stop learning or working on continuing their education. One of the unique things about this gym is they have an Olympic Weightlifting coach - Tony Garay. Ive been working with Tony for almost 3 years and hes taken me from having multiple imbalances and weaknesses after two neck surgeries to being a gold medal winning Oly weightlifter! He puts his heart and soul into developing his athletes and is by far the best trainer Ive ever worked with. He, and all the other trainers, truly want to see their clients succeed. I love this place!!!

Anna is fantastic! Worked with her for a year. She is incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with even when she is making you do things you hate like slamming medicine balls. :) great results and really jump started my path to post-baby wellness.

Knowledgeable, professional, super down-to-earth, and supportive! Had chronic back pain and fatigue for over a year that chiropractic didnt improve. After 3 weeks with Neil, my back pain is gone. Highly recommend if you want to see and feel a difference in your life.

I was ready for a big change in my life and I knew I needed help. Being over weight for the past 25 years , out of shape and Yogo dieting . Best decision of my life was to join Body by Design. I am 3 months into training with Jon and Tony . I have lost body fat and feel better than ever. The fitness center is upbeat and motivating. I look forward to my workouts. I give a big Thanks to BBD .

Started here at 200lbs and have since lost 40lb. The coaches here are phenomenal and will work with you to reach your goals and make fitness fun. I came in intimidated by many of the exercises but it has one of the favorite parts of my week! Go check it out!

Neal is fantastic - he is a trainer, a therapist and a life coach all rolled into one. He has made a huge difference in my health. Highly recommended.Paul -Milton

I began working with Tony 6 months ago due to persistent back issues. This was my last attempt at relief before visiting a back surgeon. Tony got me started on The Barbell Prescription, a strength training program designed to build muscle strength and mobility for persons over 40. I am 45 and am finally coming to the conclusion that muscle atrophy is real...They knew exactly how to start me off, being sensitive to take it slow around my back. We worked on improving my flexibility and light strength training. When I first started I could barely lift the bar off the ground my back was in such bad shape. It is 6 months later and I can dead-lift 185lbs from the ground and squat 155lbs - a feat I thought impossible when I started. I am shocked at how the program has transformed my ability to live without the constant fear of throwing my back out.My son started in a group session with a couple of his friends after school 3 days a week. Six months in and he is a completely different young man in shape and confidence. He is comfortable in his own skin which is truly a Godsend for anyone who has a son in middle school.My wife started a couple weeks ago to begin simple strength training and weight loss, and my daughter will likely start going once marching band is over in November to train for an upcoming ski trip. Needless to say my experience has been tremendous with BBD, with Tony the owner, and the others who have helped me get to where I am today. Thanks BBD team!

Neal and Team have created a first class environment....small enough for one on one focus but loaded with every fitness option possible. Dont hesitate best fitness investment I have made...3 yr + client.

If you want to make a real difference in your physical well being, start training at Body by Design! Great facility, great trainers, outstanding results! Highly recommend.

Ive been working out with Josh and love it. He is a great trainer who is respectful, pays attention to details and form to prevent injury, allowing me to reap the full benefit. Highly recommend Josh and Body by Design!

50 lbs down and body fat 20% down! Finally off medications and feeling fit and healthy. Excellent staff full of knowledge of nutrition and the workouts are challenging but lots of fun. Love the energy!

Working out at BBD for over a year~through their nutrition and training, its the best shape Ive ever been in during my 64 years!!!~they have 0 staff turnover~everyone treats you as if youre the only person there (individual attention) trainers are extremely professional & knowledgable in all areas of training/fitness/nutrition~its not just a job at a workout facility for each trainer~its their passion and desire to see each person that walks in the door become better and healthier. I would never go anywhere else

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!

Love this place! My body has never felt so good...lean, toned, and strong. Extremely knowledgable staff thats very passionate about their clients seeing results.
