This is probably one of the more lengthy reviews I've written before but that's just because there is so many good things to say about Custom Bodies!! I highly recommend this personal training group!! I recently had 2 kids 15 months apart and was looking for help losing my baby weight. I work as a physical therapist so I'm very familiar with the body and exercises but was lacking the motivation.I first signed up for the jumpstart program and was hooked! The jumpstart program was great for me to recognize where I was at physically and for my trainer to determine my fitness level. We hit on everything from lower and upper body strength to coordination and agility as well as core strength and endurance. I worked with Mark in my jumpstart program and then signed up for private sessions. The sessions have been great! Mark is very knowledgeable and motivating, the workout routine is always a little bit different and he pushes me every workout! Mark has also provided me with workouts to do on the days I don't see him as well as great nutritional advice.Dave is the owner and also a trainer and nutritional specialist. Although I never personally trained with him, he was very helpful at answering any nutritional questions and was great with working within my budget. All the trainers here are very committed to your success! Since starting in February I've lost 15 pounds and 10% in body fat!! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to lose weight, gain strength, tone up, and gain more energy!!

My experience with Custom Bodies has been phenomenal. I was a client about 15 years ago and I transformed my body, my eating habits and my entire attitude about a health, fit lifestyle. Since retiring about three years ago, I realized I needed to rekindle that feeling with the very trainer I had at Custom Bodies. Their knowledge of the human body, how it works and how you can discover your best self through well-researched fitness training, thoughtful nutrition instruction and continuous work on mental strength and focus can and WILL work for anyone. I believe in this company and give it my highest recommendation.

I really enjoy this gym for many reasons!! First the owner Dave is so kind and patient with me and understands my goals. I know he's very knowledgeable and will help me reach my goals. Secondly the gym is a perfect size and I'm 100% comfortable! If your looking for a trainer who will help lose weigh and keep it OFF or just want a easy gym this is the place!!

The owner Dave is not honest. He was in financial difficulty with original location no air conditioning and equipment failures...and strung members along then suddenly closed doors with no warning. An email blast was sent out that he reopen bigger and better??? and better was the reason for the move. no explanation why members woke up to locked doors. ths new location is just a squared off section of a volleyball/basketball training center for youth sports complex. its the size of a court with just netting separating the weights from courts. kid noise at peak hours. no showers no water unless you walk across courts. no cardio equipment was brought over. Dave continued to charge everyone on their automatic deduction. many members in our neighborhood are having trouble getting ending the membership stillstay away from this place

Over the years I have tried several gyms and always gave up on them. Dave and his staff at Custom Bodies Fitness changed that. They are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If you want to work on your own, train with a trainer or attend some of the various classes the staff always greets you with a friendly smile and is there to help with anything you need. I could not be happier with a gym than at Custom Bodies.

I went to Custom Bodies Fitness with my mother, who is in her 60's and who is a personal training client of the owner, Dave. She's been working out with Dave for a few months now and has gotten great results - she's getting stronger and has lost 25 lbs or so, and more importantly, is exercising regularly for possibly the first time in her life, or at least in the last 20 years or so! Dave created a great workout for us to complete together - he picked exercises that we could both do, and then set the appropriate loads so we would both be challenged. The exercises were innovative and effective, and it was great to see my mom doing planks! Dave is a great motivator - he pushes just enough to get things done, but isn't yelling and screaming at you.This wouldn't necessarily be MY first choice in a gym, since it lacks some of my favorite equipment (rowing machine, kettlebells and squat rack, for instance), but if you're a fan of cardio machines (bikes, treadmills) and machine-based weight training (as well as some basic free weight stuff) then this gym seems great - it wasn't crowded at all when we were there in the late afternoon, and is very nicely maintained.In short, I wouldn't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend this gym, and Dave as a trainer, for anyone of my mother's age who's looking to get fitter, stronger and healthier. Dave has a great attitude and is very motivating.

My experience at Custom Bodies has been great. I wouldn't go the gym if not for my training sessions, which have effectively rid me of my flabby arms. The sessions have even made me, in one friend's words, "buff". I am really grateful to Dave and his team, and this great local gym.

I LOVE Custom Bodies Fitness!!!!Everyone is so friendly and helpful. All the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience and get a great work out. I have been to many different gyms over the past 25 years and none of them come close to the service you get at Custom Bodies Fitness. I feel like part of the family. I recommend you try Custom Bodies Fitness over any other gym, hands down.Keep up the great work guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been a member at Custom Bodies Fitness since 2009. The staff has always been extremely friendly, and always greet me by name. Custom Bodies is a great gym, it's a nice place to work out. It's not high pressured or intimidating like some of the big gyms, and it's never too crowded. They have everything I need, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff really makes a huge difference. Because of Custom Bodies, I've been able to reach my fitness goals, and I've gained quite a few pounds of muscle, which is a big deal for me being a runner most of my life.

Note: Be sure to google ABC Financial, their billing company. There are many consumer complaints against ABC Financial.Dave will tell you that you can cancel your membership at any time and that you are signing a month-to-month membership agreement, but then you are locked in for a year! They refuse to deal with you, and pass you on to their billing company. Buyer beware!! No matter what Dave or anyone else says, if you don't have it on a piece of paper when you leave, don't believe it!Be especially aware of any personal training/nutritional counseling package that you purchase! The contract will auto-renew every month, even if you have sessions left, with no notification to you. There are no refunds.Also, they have gym equipment that sits around completely broken for months at a time. They only have 2 traditional Precor machines, and one is almost always broken.I would not recommend this gym to anyone!What originally attracted me to the gym was its small size and the friendly staff. However, they must be facing difficult times, because they took advantage of me completely.
