Love the virtual yoga classes -- no worries about going out when the weather is bad! Mary's yoga classes are perfect for getting my day started -- she cues each pose methodically & thoroughly -- making sure you are staying safe, but getting the most from the pose at the same time. I highly recommend her classes!

If you want some great Yoga sign up for Mary St. Onge's classes on Zoom or limited in person. When Mary isn't available her subs are excellent, too. Everybody is very friendly.

I do personal training with Susanne, and she’s amazing! Everyone has been so kind and welcoming since I started. They offer in person, virtual, and pre-recorded options! So handy for COVID concerns but also if you’re just short on time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great group!!

I met Barb about a year ago and have had a wonderful working relationship together. Barb and her team take a serious interest in the lives and needs of every person they work with. It is not just about Fitness By Design and their success, but also the encouragement and success of others. I love small group session and 1-1 attention she provides. I highly recommend Fitness By Design!

Barb Mendoza is an amazing trainer. I have just started my 21st year working with Barb. Her work outs are creative and designed to maximize my time with her. She is always upbeat, prepared and motivates me to do my best. I am in, I am out and I am worn out. While I only do personal training, Fitness By Design has many classes and options to fulfill lots of group fitness classes, Pilates, yoga, massages and health education. This is the place to reach optimal health. I love Barb and Fitness By Design. We are so fortunate to have this incredible studio in Des Moines.
