Goodebody Fitness

I started at Goodebody Fitness a little over two years ago. The trainers Brian, Dave and Veronica are great. They are attentive to your individual needs and help you to progress at your comfort level. It took a little bit of tweaking; but with Brian's help I came up with a nutrition plan that helped me to lose 22 lbs and keep it off. And I was amazed at the definition of the muscles that appeared in my arms, chest and back. I usually attend the 3pm session where there is a small group of us. Brian and Dave keep check on your form and I've progressed from 3-5 lb weights to 12-20 lb weights. But Dave, encouragingly, usually jokes "I have 45lb dumb bells here for you.
This time at Goodebody Fitness has become a priority for me. I started going 2 times a week and with gentle cajoling from Dave I now go 4-5 times a week because it's that important to me for my health. Goodebody Fitness is local, reasonably priced and the best thing I could have done for me!

Previous to Goodebody I was a cardio person and went to a regular gym, pump out a weight workout in 45 minutes, needless to say I did not like working out with weights so the faster I moved the faster it would be over, I couldn't lose any of the weight and through a friend I started Goodebody October 20, 2022 with about 12 pounds to lose, I was told that I'm not losing weight because I am not burning enough.

I was not convinced but I kept coming hoping that time would show me a different outcome... By March 2023 I was down my 12 pounds and had developed a new eating habit which included Intermittent Fasting...

Shocked at the results and understanding of how to actually workout with weights I decided to keep going, by the time the end of August 2023 rolled around I was down a total of 23 pounds. I have passed my one year and still keeping steady at maintaining my current weight... I never thought this was possible and a dislike for weights has now made me love to workout with these amazing trainers in a private group where I have met some inspiring people.

I came here skeptical because I’ve been to other gyms and other trainers but I could not lose the weight. At Goodebody Fitness I learned how to lift weights properly. Brian formulated a diet plan tailored to work for me…Other places do a one size fits all plan that doesn’t work for everyone. I was able to lose 40lbs and have kept it off for two years now at 48 years old. The members are great too; a camaraderie that can’t be matched. Do yourself a favor and come check it out.

I have been a member of Goodebody since August of 2021. When I walked in to my first class at 370lbs, having not worked out consistently in 3 years, I was nervous about how I would perform and how I'd be accepted. I was greeted by Dave and accepted by the 5AM crew. Once my schedule shifted, I was coached and trained consistently by the great trainers at Goodebody. With the help of the trainers, Brian's constant diet feedback, I was able to lose 93 lbs by April of 2022. I am a better father, husband, and professional because of the positive health changes Goodebody helped me make. I love the local feel of this gym and how the staff caters to my strengths and assists with my weaknesses!

Brian Goode has trained me since I was in my 20's. He is now my trainer in my 50's. I have limitations because of surgeries due to batting breast cancer. Brian is able to modify any exercises for me and always helps me and encourages. His other trainer Dave is extremely knowledgeable as well and will never hesitate to give you an uplifting word as well. As a survivor, and lover of lifting weights, it's awesome to have their knowledge in your corner. You'll never regret signing up at Goodebody Fitness!
