This reviews has been a long time coming so please read to the end. I started my fitness journey in late March after years of making excuses to take care of my fitness. However I did not start at BFT. After a few months at another gym and not seeing any results in terms of weight loss, muscle growth, and injuring myself because I wasn’t warming up/cooling down and going hard for no reason I decided to give BFT a try. To his credit, co-owner Coach Curtis, was very persistent in his communication until I finally decided to give him a call. During our first conversation, he asked me about my fitness goals, challenges, and he even mentioned helping me with weight loss and nutrition which immediately caught my attention. Curtis even invited me to try a class to get a feel for the BFT experience. During my first cardio class I saw how other members were friendly and inviting, the gym was clean and organized, the coaches made sure to explain how to properly perform all of the exercises and sets. The class also included a warm up and cool down stretch. After further conversations with Curtis about my struggles with weight loss and nutrition and how he would help me learn to track, journal, and comprehend macros and micros I decided to give BFT a shot. Over the past 6 months, BFT has helped me reached various fitness milestones such as losing 30lbs (I’m down to 160lbs and can fit into skinning clothes I haven’t worn in years). My relationship with food and nutrition has transformed for the better. I now eat healthier and I can track my micros and macros. My sleep has also improved, averaging 8hrs per night or more. Most recently I also completed my first BFT 8 Week Challenge, something that I would have never seen myself doing. Many of my family and friends have also noticed how my health and fitness has greatly improved. BFT is a gym that provides you with a holistic approach to fitness. Every week, classes with alternate between weight lifting, cardio, or a combination of both. Members can chose from early morning to afternoon and evening classes. Sundays are dedicated to mobility and flexibility ensuring that you are stretching muscles and preparing for the following week’s classes. All of BFT’s coaches are also amazing and very fun individuals who enjoy coaching, playing great music, and most importantly understanding each member’s fitness goals, challenges, adapting workouts if needed, and ensuring that no one gets hurt. In the 6 months I’ve been coming to BFT, I’ve never gotten injured or pushed myself to the point of hurting myself. And last but certainly not least, the BFT community is full of amazing people who are friendly, supportive, and encouraging of one another. BFT also engages with the Little Italy community at various events and hosts various workshops on nutrition, preventing injuries, and promoting up and coming small businesses. I am happy to be a member of BFT and honestly don’t see myself anywhere else. This is a gym where you will get and see results if you are willing to put in the work, and where you will find a community of coaches and members who are extremely supportive. Thank you BFT and here’s to many more fitness milestones being achieved in 2025 💪🏼😁!!

Been a member since last November and I feel blessed to have found BFT. I switched from another well known local gym and so glad I did. This gym is always welcoming with its scientific program and knowledgeable, friendly and motivating coaches who make sure your forms are correct. BFT is also great at community building and often has complimentary workshops and members' social night. This is one gym that makes me keep coming which made me stronger with increases endurance. Love this gym and my gym mates who root for each other!

If you’re looking for a really friendly environment where you feel like you fit in right away, this is the place. I took my first class and started getting greeted by all the staff. They answered all my questions and made me feel like I’ve been there for forever. Classes are well instructed and the coaches are always watching to help with form. Definitely stop by here and get a membership!!!

I trained at Body Fit Training for about two months before ultimately canceling my membership. Pros: The instructors are truly excellent - extremely knowledgeable, well trained, and very supportive. I can’t emphasize enough how strong the coaching is here. The workouts are clearly science-backed, thoughtfully programmed, and very beginner-friendly. If you’re new to fitness or want a structured, guided experience, this is a big plus. Cons (for me personally): The cost is very high (over $200/month for an unlimited membership) which felt hard to justify long-term. The format is very group-focused, with partner and team exercises, so it’s not a “do your own thing” gym. Over time, the classes started to feel a bit repetitive and leaned more cardio-heavy than strength-focused. The overall vibe also felt somewhat cult-ish, and the member demographic skewed a bit older (30+), which may or may not matter depending on what you’re looking for. Bottom line: High-quality coaching and programming, but expensive and not the right fit if you prefer independent training, heavier strength focus, or more variety. Worth trying - just depends on your priorities.
