Reviews of Bodyfit KC (Gym)

Dev

What can I can say about this gym? As a former minor league pitcher for the Colorado Rockies organization, I can honestly say in my 15 years of actively working out, this is the best gym I've ever been a member of. I sincerely mean this when I'm talking about the coaches, challenging workouts, friendly community, great price, location, and numerous workout options the facility provides. For example, you can have balance of doing a high intensity workout and then run upstairs for a hot yoga session. Or, if you're interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they have one of the best instuctors in the KC area. It's the best of both worlds all bundled into one facility. I have done Crossfit for over 5 years all over the country and BodyFit classes are just as intense and the coaches provide excellent instruction for proper technique to prevent injury. I've been a member for almost a year now and my deadlifts, squat, bench, clean and jerk have all shot up. I get extremely excited everyday I show up to sweat! Just drop-in for one of their classes and I promise you that you'll enjoy it.

This gym and it's staff are committed to helping anyone and everyone achieve their own personal goals whether it be fitness or diet and health. The trainers continually challenge the body without challenging one's dignity. This is the place to be for a complete body, mind, and spirit workout; one class and I was hooked! ~AndrewP

This gym is awesome! I love that they offer a variety of classes. My favorite so far is the BodyFit group training. David shows us proper form and encourages us to push harder. There are also heart rate monitors which allow you to see your results real-time and a summary after class is over. It's also super clean. I highly recommend.

Best work out place ever! never mind a regular gym - this is where you go if you really want to change not just your workouts but your LIFESTYLE! the trainers to the people that go workout are so motivating and fun :) due to my schedule though (I have 2 jobs & I know this is no excuse but still) it is hard for me to make the classes at the available times... but when I have been going consistently in the past, my attitude, eating habits and LIFE just change for the better :) deft. give a try and commit to it - promise it is worth it!

No trainers can cure a bad case of the Mondays and break up the monotony of writing TPS Reports like the guys at BodyFit.

David Vava Littlewood

I love going there everyday and training with all the wonderful people!

Julia Duckworth

I LOVE doing yoga at this studio!!! The yoga studio is so spacious and has a beautiful vibe. All of the trainers and teachers at Bodyfit are so kind and know how to help you achieve your maximum work out!

Allyssa Kays

I’ve found a home at Bodyfit full of wonderful caring individuals who only want success for you! This is more than a gym, it’s a family! You won’t regret coming into this gym! Try it! They have it all ❤️

I have been at Bodyfit for almost a year now and I have only good things to say! It is different than any gym out there and provides an incredible workout every time no matter what fitness level you are coming in at. They have everything from weight and strength training, to mind and body classes, to kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. There really is something for everyone, and at Bodyfit, you should never be hesitant to try something new. The environment is amazing- no one is judging you but everyone is pushing you to work harder and be better. The trainers go out of their way to push you during workouts. They also provide nutritional advice, and help you reach whatever lifestyle goal you want to accomplish when you walk through the door. In my year at Bodyfit, I have seen big changes and have reached goals that I thought would take years to accomplish. This place is a hidden gem in Kansas City and has become somewhere I look forward to going day in and day out.

Brad Krohe

AWESOME!

Jenna Schmitz

This gym is the best I have experienced in the area. Certainly the best bang for your buck! They offer kickboxing, yoga, weightlifting, and nutritional help. The employees are VERY qualified in their skills. I have lifted weights throughout my life and it is still very helpful that David explains each exercise in detail. This place is perfect for beginners because they do such a great job at instructing proper technique. I have become a pretty dedicated yogi within the last two years and Grace is certainly the most qualified yoga instructor I have found in this city. And the gym is 100% solar powered which is pretty sweet!

Madeline Johnson

This is seriously the best gym. The trainers really care about you as a person and not just a paycheck. They care about your progress and push you to help you reach your goals. They are very knowledgeable and push you past where you ever thought you could go in your fitness goals. There are times that will meet everyone's schedule. They offer a wide variety of classes that can fit into anyone fitness goals.

Jill Sperry

Wonderful, friendly trainers that are extremely knowledgeable. The sessions push me way way farther than I would do myself. At least once during each workout I’m either so exhausted, or in so much pain, that I think ‘why did I come here’, but then I remember that extra burn is why I’m here (and the extra late night cookies). So if you are looking for a kick a$$ workout with tailored instructions and a dash of accountability you should definitely check this place out. The photo shows my progress after six months of training with the Bodyfit team.

Ashley Skorepa

I love going to Bodyfit! I take classes during the lunch hour HIIT and Kickboxing both David and Josh are amazing trainers. I am always surprised that they know my name and have since the first time I walked in. They take the time to know you and your goals which is totally different than any other gym I have been too. I can't say enough good things about Bodyfit. Go see Josh and David you can thank me later!

David Davis

Great place to get fit! Workouts and training sessions for all fitness levels: From beginners to elite athletes. Has a high intensity atmosphere to make a killer support system from all of the trainers and other members as well!

Anthonia Akitunde

I was back home from New York, and was looking for a gym that I could use while I was in town. I'm so glad I found Bodyfit KC! The administrative staff was incredibly nice and accommodating to my brief stay, and the trainers and fellow gym members were so encouraging and motivating. (There wasn't a trace of mean girl cattiness or judgment like I've dealt with at other gyms.) Both trainers and gymmates took the time to make sure I had proper form, explained how each workout and piece of equipment worked, and helped me feel really accomplished at the end of each incredible workout. I felt pushed to my limit and stronger each time I went. If I lived in Kansas City, I would be here pretty much every day!

Patrick Khosravani

Very fun and energetic trainers and staff who really want to see members succeed. The classes are always intense, tough, and even humorous. I’d recommend this gym to anyone who appreciates class based exercising and for those who live in the downtown area it’s great with lots of parking in the back. Make sure to bring your own water bottle. They also have open gym hours for any folks who want to workout solo.

Ryan Holsman

More muscle definition in 2 months of going consistently than I've had in my entire life, almost all the flab is gone also. The trainer, David, goes the extra mile and will offer dieting and general fitness advice that make the difference. The classes are killer, and literally a killer but when the person next to you isn't stopping you won't either and that's what helps you push.

Silver Screen Salon Team

This is the place in KC for fitness! David and his team are totally committed to your health. This place offers amazing classes and instructors!

Amanda Luker

Great place love working out here. The trainers and people are amazing to work out with.

Megan Reynolds

Love coming here! Great classes, awesome instructors!

Emily Lohman

I was a cardio-fit person who was used to running and doing spin class and bar method. But I wasn't strong and had little to no muscle definition. I was clueless about weight lifting, but knew I needed to do something. I had no idea where to begin, and I also had huge anxiety about trying new gyms because I didn't want some beefy dude barking at me. Bodyfit feels like a huge supportive crowd of friends who work with you, help you, and encourage you. It's a place for very advanced persons to work alongside the inexperienced people like me, because the trainers help you customize your own workout to your skillset. The training is personal. The people are down to earth. There are no meat head grunters. There is not the pushy-cult environment of cross-fit, though the work we do is similar on many days. The girls are so friendly and if you want to change it up, there is yoga, kick-boxing, and jiujitsu classes taught by those who have decades of experience including professional fights. I love the workouts, I'm shocked at how much I've improved in just three months. My favorite thing about this gym are the genuine friendships I never expected to make.

Devin Chasten

Where else in KC can you find experts in Weightlighting (technique, HIIT, also diet as well), yoga, kickboxing and jiu jitsu in a family friendly environment all in one place? Bodyfit offers classes in every discipline all throughout the day, so whatever your schedule may allow you will most definitely be able to find a class that fits your needs at Bodyfit in Midtown Kansas City! Come try a class with us! See you soon.

Mike Williams

My goto place to workout when I’m in town for work. Vava always has challenging workouts with a really fun group of people. I also recommend the weightlifting class. Good coaching that has been helpful in my stops there. Will continue to drop in while I’m in town!

Lori Zinna

BodyFit makes everyone feel at home and welcomed! I never thought I could find a gym where I felt comfortable and able to workout this hard. All of the staff and trainers make you feel important and capable :o)

Travis Crall

David, Josh and the entire team at Bodyfit are amazing.

Amanda Grodie

Bodyfit is so fantastic! It offers a variety of classes with quality trainers!

Kristin Schultz

Great workouts. Excellent trainers who motivate, inspire, and push you to your limits. Strong focus on proper form and technique. But more than that, it's the culture and community feeling that make this gym truly one-of-a-kind. Nice variety of classes (bodyfit, yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu) and excellent green facility.

Jacey Barnes

Bodyfit Kansas City is a full-service gym. There is nowhere in the area that is offering the kind of training and support that make a well-rounded athlete the way that Bodyfit does. The trainers are passionate and dedicated, and the programs are world-class.

Craig Skinner

This is not your standard gym, and it will change your mind on what you should expect. Personally, I was never great at pushing myself from start to end of my own workout. Like most people I would start strong and taper off as we went along. The trainers at Bodyfit are amazing at pushing an entire group of people thru a set that pushes you to your limits, and makes you believe you can do better. It’s not about the person next to you, it’s about the person you were yesterday. This is definitely a gym for people of all experience and fitness levels.

molly mills

This is one of the best gyms I have ever been too, if not the best. Regardless of the shape, size, or fitness level you're at this is the place for you! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE is motivating and so friendly. #NoJudgementZone! This gym has great classes and so much availability it's definitely the right place for you. The trainers are so knowledgeable and caring. You know the moment you walk in they're not just there to receive a paycheck, they actually care for you and your goals and want you to succeed. I promise you will LOVE this gym! Come in and check it out and I PROMISE you won't be disappointed. :)

Erika H

I've only been going to Bodyfit since January, but I honestly believe it's the best gym I've ever trained at. I started with a Groupon where I could try classes at different gyms all over KC and wasn't interested at all in a month-to-month membership anywhere--after the FIRST class at Bodyfit (kickboxing with Trey) I was ready to sign up for a membership. Upon signing up, I was happy to find that each instructor cares deeply about proper technique and form to make sure we're performing to the best of our abilities. I am seriously injury-prone, so it's important to me to learn moves the correct way so I don't hurt myself. OVERALL: -the instructors make every class authentic, safe, and SO MUCH FUN. -Everyone becomes like a family, honestly, and they are so supportive through gains and setbacks. -Bodyfit is all about learning proper technique--keeps you safe. -The instructors (especially David) take a personal interest in your journey to fitness, positively encouraging you. -FREE NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING. Yes. -Lot of good variety in classes. -Great shower facilities for people who want to go straight to work after a morning class. YOGA: I've only been to a few classes, but the instructors were wonderful. They ask about injuries before class starts so they can help you with modifications, if needed. Their classes are great for all levels because they, again, offer modifications to meet your skills. There are a TON of different types of yoga to try out. And the yoga studio is a beautiful, relaxing space to practice in. KICKBOXING: again, the instructors just rock. Trey and Corey come up with great classes where we're able to get a solid workout in while also perfecting our technique. Both are incredibly encouraging and always offer engaging classes, switching up combos and exercises to make sure class is always new and fun. JIU JITSU: when I started at Bodyfit, I had never done jiu jitsu and I'm having the best time learning at this gym! The instructors, David and Devin, explain and demonstrate technique well and make sure that we are practicing safely. They foster a positive, respectful, learning environment that helps us all progress without getting discouraged or hurt. That is so important to me as I regularly train with guys much bigger than me. WEIGHT TRAINING: I haven't done Bodyfit classes yet, but I like Technique a lot because, once again, David shows us how to do technique properly, which is incredibly important in lifting weights so we don't injure ourselves. His classes are challenging and fun and he always positively encourages me to work to my full potential. I love everything about the gym and the extended family I've found there!

Courtney Neaveill

Everything you need at a gym. No frills. And most importantly, really great people - both staff and fellow gym goers. Everyone shows up with a positive attitude and zero judgement. Despite my initial trepidation, I was immediately made to feel comfortable at Bodyfit. People of all shapes and sizes were there to work out, and to work TOGETHER to achieve their fitness goals. David 'Vava' Littlewood is an affable and charismatic trainer who gives advice and tips tailored to each individual in his class. Bodyfit KC is an unpretentious, local gem.

Natalie Bristow

Diversity among the instructors, classes, training, and clientele is vast and comforting. People from all walks of life begin to feel like family very shortly after you become a member. The dedication and knowledge/insight of the instructors is most definitely reassuring to your health and fitness goals. There is something for everyone at Bodyfit KC, it is truly a life changing experience.

Nick Dudley

I've trained with David in one form or another since 2001. He is an excellent trainer, coach, and competitor. The facility is great. Nice locker room and showers.

Brittany McCoy

I drive 35 minutes just to come to this special gym! It is more like a family than a gym. I attend mainly for the morning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes, since that is my main form of workout. David Littlewood and his team are such intelligent and articulate teachers that you will never want the class to end! They have many years of experience and competition and teach with such a level of detail that we drill it and drill it until we get it perfect. Not only do they make sure that you get it perfect, but they also run class in a manor that keeps you entertained and enjoying yourself the whole time. They make my Tuesdays and Thursdays start out on a great note! Thanks David and team!

Adem Shuaipaj

Absolutely Amazing!!! I did not believe the 5 star rating walking into the gym but 2 sessions later I saw what the hype was about. There is no gym that I have been to that has gotten me in such good shape! I hate working out but David, the main trainer, goes above and beyond to help each person with their individual needs and goals. He does a wonderful job of blending the line of trainer and friend. He really wants you to push your boundaries and many days he waned me to reach my goal more than I did. Its easy to skip the gym but David is the type of guy who keeps bringing you back time and time again and keeps you going when you want to give up. Just to use myself as an example, day 1 I had never done a deadlift. Within 1.5 months I was maxing out at 325 lbs. If you want to really get your entire body in shape, and you have tried working out before but never saw the results you wanted (as I did at 3 different gyms at 3 different times in my life) then this gym is for you. Yes it may be a bit more expensive than a $10-20 gym membership at a normal gym but it is completely worth it as you see the results you want and you see them very quickly (if you put the effort). "Fitness is a journey, not a destination" Thank you David!!! (Seriously, I cannot explain in words what an awesome trainer and person he is!)

Mary Stanley

Every experience I have at Bodyfit is better than the last. The trainers here are not only knowledgeable and talented, they are truly dedicated to the success of each member. They are incredible trainers and incredible people. From the weight training to the yoga to the jiu jitsu to the kickboxing. The place is legit. People love to workout with people who motivate them and care about them. Bodyfit isn't just another gym. Bodyfit has become another home away from home.

Karah Popp

I've been taking fitness classes at Bodyfit for over a year and i'm still obsessed. The classes are always fresh and challenging and have really taken my fitness to the next level. The workouts (even the tough ones!) are often the highlight of my day. There is something so restorative and energizing about this place. The trainers and members are very friendly, inclusive, and motivating; its a really great community and an ideal place for people at any level. Highly recommend you check it out!

Christie Ellis

Such a great gym to be a part of!! The Josh and David make you feel so comfortable and encouraged and this motivates you to do your best and keep coming back! They challenge you every day and care about what your personal goals are. Since I work right down the street it is also convenient that they offer Kickboxing and HIIT classes at noon Monday-Thursday. I'm so glad I decided to join and always tell the rest of my work friends they are missing out!

gnorth02

I have been going to Body fit for almost a year now and still love it. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I really enjoy the variety of classes Bodyfit, Yoga, Ju Jitsu, Movement, Bare,.. the list goes on. All the trainers are excellent in working with all levels of your fitness, from beginner to advanced. The coaches are personable , that can lead you to greatness and I can see that they continually try to improve fitness work outs. It never gets stale nor is there a dull moment at Body fit KC!

Elizabeth Ramirez Ault

This gym has all the things you need. Yoga, weights and a group of of people to support and encourage you to be your physical best

Lindsay Wilson

You can tell that all of the trainers and instructors at Bodyfit are there with passion for fitness and truly want to get to know you. By the second visit I was being coached by name, which hasn't happened anywhere else and truly makes this place special. Personalized attention to technique allows for form correction and modifications to be offered at every weightlifting session to get you maximized results with less chance of injury. The yoga space is inviting and the practices I've attended are yet again personalized. No matter your background or fitness level you will feel like part of a fitness family here.

Zachary Dougherty

Best gym in kc.

Bente Hoegsberg, MD

As an intermittent resident of KC, I was looking for a gym with an open, supportive attitude to help members fulfill their personal goals. Within 5 min. of my tour I knew Bodyfit was exactly right for me. When I learned that in addition to the plethora of exercise classes, Yin Yoga is also offered, I was ready to join. There is a wonderful energy in the building. The instructors are knowledgable about exercise physiology and body kinetics and excellent at translating this knowledge to the members. A class will have participants of different ages, body types, level of fitness, and ability. All are encouraged to reach the next level every time. It is remarkable that I am able to join on-going classes even when having been away for several weeks. When leaving a class, I feel happy and that I have accomplished something. The welcoming and supportive attitude of the staff sets the tone.

Joe Kuftack

Love this place!

Alexander Sloan

This gym is fantastic. The instructors are world class, and the classes offer great variety to your work-outs. A must for anyone in the midtown area. Oh and it's the only green gym in KC!

Todd Brookhouse

I've been to lots of gyms around the country because I move a lot for my job and I can honestly say that this is the best gym I have ever been too. Besides that this gym is a green gym and makes my soul feel happy. It's because of the people! David and the teachers there are so amazing and actually listen to what your goals are and help you achieve them! Also the people that go to this gym are amazing; everyone is so supportive of each other and I've made genuine friendships and connections with people at this gym! At the end of the month I am moving back to Michigan. The hardest part about leaving Kansas City isn't the packing or planning, but it's that I won't find a gym like this any where else.

Travis Conley

5-Star Gym! Classes, service, atmosphere, people! Great instruction, great place!

Grace Duckworth

A personal experience within a community of incredible people each time I attend!

Judy Bristol

The absolute BEST, most motivating group of trainers that only want you to succeed are at Bodyfit. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They have helped me with health and fitness goals I never thought possible! NEVER a boring session!

B KC

So I took my first step in 4 years in the gym today, and I couldn't be happier that I chose BodyFitKC. After several health issues to include cancer and joint fusion surgeries in both feet, I was extremely apprehensive about walking into a work out class where i didn't know anyone. However, it was an incredible experience!! The trainer, David, I think, was incredible! He was involved and attentive in making sure my technique an form were correct, but at the same time he did not make me feel "dumb" or "judged". It is very much so "at your pace" while in a group setting. The positive side of this is that you are still motivated by the people around you, but you don't feel ashamed or inadequate if you are at a different fitness level than them. The workout was rotation based. 4 exercises/movements(dumbell benchpress, burpee-he gave an alternate technique if needed, squats, and kettlebell lifts), with numerous rounds (round 1 we did 1 rep of each of the 4 movements, then round 2= 2 reps of each exercise, round 3=3 reps, and so on up to 10. Then to decrease back down 9 to 1. Even though I didn't even complete the workout(I made it up to round 8) I can certainly tell I've worked my tail off!!!! I legs and arms feel like jelly and it definitely helped to get my day started!! I cant wait to come back and take more classes(My next class will likely be a muscle soreness relief yoga class) and i will certainly post reviews of those as well.

Kalen Quint

I trained at Bodyfit for my last year living in KC and only regretted not joining sooner. I already had access to some pretty nice gyms for free through my work, but I still chose to spend money on a membership here as my primary gym because I found the value to be worth it. It is a fully equipped gym with everything you need to get stronger/fitter; the trainers know what they're doing and know how to tailor your programming and nutrition towards whatever specific training goals you might have; and the selection of classes offered is impressively broad. There are not many places out there that offer classes for strength training, conditioning, mixed martial arts, gymnastics, and olympic lifting all under one roof, and there is not a lot of quality, affordable guidance on how to pursue multiple goals simultaneously, but you will find that here. As an added bonus, the people are nice, and even if you prefer working out independently, it's a fun community and you'll find encouragement when you need it. Whether you're trying to learn a new skill set, improve your overall fitness, or take your training to the next level, I fully recommend giving Bodyfit a shot.

Ria Sorrell

If I can do it - you can too!! I'm a middle-aged woman with some chronic health issues who tries to maintain some semblance of balance in my life. On my good days, I go all out in the Bodyfit group class - planks, box jumps, push-ups, burpees, squats, rows, clean and press, and whatever other power-lifting and/or strength training you can imagine. The daily variety is outstanding! On my not so good days, I modify, modify and modify some more - all under the expert guidance and care of our Bodyfit trainer. From the hardcore gym rat to the absolute beginner, there is something here for everyone. Then there's the Yoga classes...You would be hard-pressed to find more knowledgeable, caring and experienced instructors anywhere else. There are so many classes at so many levels offered 7 days a week. Again, from beginner to advanced there is something for everyone. The facility is new, clean and nicely equipped. Those who work out/practice here are friendly and supportive. The hours are extremely convenient. I must say, I LOVE this place!!

Mama Monkey

As an individual with no previous experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Kickboxing, I was looking for a gym in which I could learn proper technique from seasoned trainers, as well as continue my personal fitness journey. I could not imagine a better fit for me than Bodyfit KC. Whether you are looking to simply get good exercise, or to learn proper technique and form (BJJ, kickboxing, weight lifting/circuit training, yoga) the trainers here will push you, and get the best out of you everyday. Every class feels like a personal training session. This is also the only local gym that I am aware of that offers a wide variety of classes early in the AM. So if you are having trouble making time in the evenings for exercise or training, they have 5:15am strength and conditioning classes, 7:00am BJJ and kickboxing classes... These guys never take a break. Could not recommend this gym more. Thanks guys, Cameron J. Batschke

Jessica Berry

Bodyfit has everything you need! They offer Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Yoga, Barre Classes, Cardio Hip Hop, a movement focused class, as well as group training with weights and cardio development. The environment is amazing, there is no judgement, or snooty gym attitudes. Every single person I have ever worked out with here is supportive and friendly. The trainers go out of their way to get to know you and help you tailor your workouts to your needs! People of all skill levels should be comfortable attending as on any given day there will be someone who is brand new, and someone who is a seasoned vet. At Bodyfit safety is a priority. There are special classes that focus on lifting form, but still give attendees a great workout. Best gym I have been a member of. If you are looking for a community where you belong, with likeminded people to help you move towards your fitness goals, Bodyfit is the place for you!
