The Body Loft

David, the owner who also does training, is an incredibly nice guy who will sit down with you and discuss your goals and develop a training plan customized for you — not something off the shelf. He’s extremely knowledgeable about bone and muscle structure, knows how to work around unique builds and will try several different approaches to get you muscles able to work correctly if you have previous injuries or health concerns as I do. David is constantly switching up the activities that work on the muscle groups to keep you getting stronger — and it’s never boring.
Here’s some other upsides (in my opinion):
It’s a smaller, private gym that you train at. While there are other trainers that have clients there often at the same time, I have never seen more than 2 other people working out there at one time. If you’re intimidated to ask questions, get caught using the equipment «wrong», or you don’t want to be judged at the big box gym meat market — this place is great.
There is a smaller office inside The Body Loft where Dr. Steve works out of by appointment. Dr Steve is a chiropractor and coordinates treatment with David to help get your neck and back fixed and strengthen muscle to help prevent issues from reoccurring. Dr Steve and David accept most PPO insurance — a huge benefit, so ask them to look into it for you.
If you’re paying out of pocket for personal training, the cost is significantly lower than major gyms in the area charge and the training is WAY, WAY better than you will receive at the large gyms in the downtown area. There is NO hard sell at all and if it takes you a while to get to the point that you’re ready to commit, you won’t get the annoying repeated phone calls at the end of each month like you may have in the past if you gave your contact information to a big box.
There are other reasons why I go here, but I’ve said enough for now. Call David, he doesn’t charge to do a consultation or quote — if you think it’s for you, then give it a try — you’ll be surprised by the results you get.

first time working out today on the beach at 6:50 am with the crew from body loft. truly interactive, quite a workout and amazingly fun. what more can you ask for: sun in your face, on the sand, and did i mention it’s free… thanks vanessa, james and sheila.
