Bodies By Design Personal Training

I have been working with an excellent trainer since last last July/​15. Coach Donovan Owens is very dedicated and great to work with. I have had incredible muscle gains since working with him. He really knows what he is doing. He provides excellent tips and suggestions to ensure we avoid injury and get the most from our class experience. Thanks to the great staff for making training fun and refer this studio to others.

Wanted to update my previous review from 2012. I am still here at Bodies by Design. Last time I only mentioned my trainer Fred, but I also wanted to give a shout out to Ninette and Coach D. I have worked out with both of these people too and they are fabulous. They will kill you in a good way. I always laugh when Fred has gone on vacation and Coach D covers for him, and he seems to pull out all the stops to really challenge us. Love my Bodies by Design family and will be here for life. Remember this is not your ordinary gym experience like Golds or 24 Hour Fitness. You have to try it to know the difference!

Just moved to the area and was gym shopping. I was looking for something with a higher intensity workout and personal trainer. Visited BBD and fell in love immediately. Great workouts. Trainers focus on form, truly care about your goals, and understand your health and nutrition.

I have been a client of Bodies by Design for 3 years and when I got pregnant, I instantly thought of all those sayings about weird food cravings, swollen feet, and lots of weight gain. With that in mind, I set forth a plan to continually work out during and after my pregnancy to ensure I wouldn’t become one of those negative pregnancy stories. The great trainers at Bodies by Design, through their active participation in my pregnancy goals and encouragement, worked with me every step of way. If I wasn’t able to do an exercise, they made a modification to always keep me moving and motivated. Through the entire pregnancy I only gained 20 pounds and after I was cleared by my doctor to start working out again, I was able to lose all of the baby weight within 3 weeks. Now, fast forward 7 months, between chasing my wonderful son around the house and the additional support from my fellow boot campers, (at who have become like an extended family) I have lost over 50 pounds. Thank you Bodies by Design.

Fred is an amazing trainer!!! If you are wanting to get in shape and healthy this is the place to do it! Fred has a work out planned for you, so there is none of that going to the gym and thinking «hmmm what should I do today» If you want results this is the place to go!

I’m hooked on Bodies by Design. I have told all my friends and family about BBD because I am genuinely beyond satisfied with this gym environment. Everyone in the gym is always so happy to be there and you can see results people have made by putting in the work. It is encouraging to see people push themselves a bit harder in every workout with Fred’s guidance and it makes you want to do the same. It also doesn’t end in the gym… the Bodies by Design Facebook page is amazing! The meal tips, workout videos, and photos help you stay on track and really make you feel like you are part of something bigger than any other ordinary gym. You have to experience it for yourself to really understand how different this gym is. I’ve been a member of several and never felt as great as i do when i’m at BBD.

Everyone wants RESULTS from their fitness facility. I lost 16 lbs in the first 3 months and 18.5″ overall! Bodies By Design is AMAZING! I can’t imagine a trainer being any better than Fred. BBD offers a variety of exercise choices. There are boot camps, small groups, personal 1X1 training, etc. I love the small group sessions! There is an energy when you walk in the door that I have never felt anywhere else. Fred is helping me reach my fitness goals so that I can lead a healthy lifestyle for years and years! This is my «happy place» and I will never go anywhere else! Fred, Donovan and the people there have become my family. You will not find trainers that care more about you at any other facility than at BBD.

I visited and no one was there. And i called and asked if its dancing class. since the room deco seems dancing ball room. And he said «no» not even want to introduce what else he offer and i really felt bad because i drove all the way to place.

Let me just start out by saying that Fred is amazing! I had originally heard about him through a mutual friend who had been going to see him for personal training. I hadn’t seen my friend in a few months and when I did I was blown away. She looked amazing. He had transformed her body. So, it was then that I called to set up an appointment and meet with him. I started my personal training with Fred that week. In a very short time I have for once in my life started seeing my body start to transform. If you are ready for lifestyle change I highly recommend you go meet with Fred.

If you are looking for a personal trainer to help you get in shape then come see Fred. You will love the small group training and individual attention that you won’t get at the big name gyms. I always felt that I was wasting time at the big gyms, barely working up a sweat during my workouts. but that’s not the case here. The workouts are challenging and different every day so you’ll never get bored. Bodies by Design is the perfect place to help you get in shape and reach all your fitness goals.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Bodies by Design (Fred) has made excersie, nutrition and health a great experience and alot of fun. You are not imtimated by machines, but are encourged by your workout friends. Fred will push you towards greatness in a positive, fun/​happy environment.

I am fairly new to Fred and this facility, but I am very happy with my choice to quit my membership at 24 Fitness and try something new. 24 Fitness continued to change the times of the classes I attended, and the trainers seemed to change out weekly. It was very frustrating, and after a year of membership, I had only fluctuated back and forth a few pounds. I had done Synergy Fitness bootcamp before, but the outdoor training murdered my joints and shins. When I looked around and saw that Bodies By Design’s location was mostly inside, I was thrilled. The gym is stocked with seemingly endless equipment. We haven’t had a repeat workout in the 3 or so weeks I’ve been attending. My shins are surviving, and I can already see the difference in the shape of my body. I’ve had issues with my previous trainers, but Fred is exactly what I need at this point. He’s tough (as he should be), but very perceptive to my strengths and weaknesses, and is really good at keeping a positive attitude in his gym. I was so surprised when he called me the next morning after my first workout (part of a free trial, no less), to ask me how I was doing. It’s this extra attention that has me thinking I’m going to stick with Bodies By Design and finally get back to a healthy weight and lifestyle.

Fred is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in all things nutrition and exercise. He’s not intimidating and his workouts are great for all ages and fitness levels. You couldn’t find a better trainer in the Austin area!

I’ve tried all kinds of fitness classes and exercise routines in the past. None of them worked for me. I reached a higher weight than I’d ever been before and decided I had to do something about it. I called Trainer Fred at Bodies by Design and was super impressed with his friendly and honest answers to my questions. I started boot camp right away and was 20 lbs lighter just a few months later. If you want to learn about how to work your body for results and meet a great group of people who work hard and get results, this is the boot camp for you.
