I had been working with Marlon since 2004, and this is my experience with him and Body Mechanix. I had an autologous bone marrow transplant in 2011 with a life expectancy after the transplant of 5 years, and a prediction of a possible leukemia as a second cancer due to the tremendous amount of chemotherapy and aggressive treatment. Exercising has been one of the principal keys in my full recovery, to prolong my life expectancy, and have a better quality of life. Nowadays, I am out of pain medication and asthma medication. I do not have words to express my gratitude as Marlon dedication help me to get thru cancer treatment, have a full recovery, and I am happy to say that in February 1, 2021 I celebrated my 10th re-birthday. Marlon was my coach before, during and after the cancer diagnosis. Even though I relocated from California to Puerto Rico, we still working together with the online program. Yes, I am happy to say that he works with me remote now, and the results still amazing. For those of you who feel afraid of Covid19, this online program is a great tool.

Best thing I ever did for myself was join this community gym! Working out before was always a drag for me and during the pandemic I rarely took care of my body. I decided to take a workout class at Body Mechanix in CV and the trainer Robert put us through a great workout and gave me lots of exercises to help with my plantar fasciitis (which is significantly better now). I’ve enjoyed taking classes with all of the trainers they have (Joe, Margaret, and Awa to name a few are awesome), each one is a little different and you’re sure to find someone you love. The workouts are challenging but fun, and fit for any fitness level.
The past three months I’ve been doing small group training with Marlon and he is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time)!! I used to look forward to the weekend and now I look forward to my workouts with him. Thanks to his nutrition advice eating healthy has never been easier for me and I don’t crave all the junk food I used to have so often because fueling my body right feels so goooood!
There’s a big difference between going to Body Mechanix and your average gym. Here you’re part of a great community the day you join and everyone supports you through every workout. Investing in my health during this time has been so rewarding and it’s gotten ridden of my “pandemic blues”. They’re also very covid safe with group classes being socially distanced, outside, and all the equipment is disinfected after each person uses it!

Just had my first outdoor training tonight and it was great! The trainers and the people there are very nice and helpful! Doesn’t matter where you are physically they help you no matter what and truly care about getting you to be healthy and proud of the body you are in. I highly recommend these guys!

This is a really nice gym , sauna , steam room. All brand new equipment

Awesome gym that will help you achieve your fitness goals in a very fun and engaging way! Shoutout to Marlon Gomez, the owner, for taking such good care of my family over the years.

I’ve been visiting this BodyMechanix site since well before the pandemic, and have always found the site, equipment, and staff to be excellent. They have group classes and personal training that can suit a great many experience levels, and can adeptly work around injuries or many other other physical challenges with you.

I’ve been able to continue a personal training regimen over Zoom calls since the COVID shelter-in-place order, and even with only a small dumbbell set at home I sill get a great workout. It’s pretty flexible and works around my work schedule. I believe they’ve even started doing some on-site classes outdoors in their parking lot, though I’m not entirely and haven’t looked into participating in any of those.

In any event, I highly recommend calling them up for a consultation.

I’ve loved training at Body Mechanix with Marlon and everyone else who staffs and attends this gym. When we began to quarantine I figured I’d be without my trainer for a while, but Marlon was able to deliver the same quality workouts over zoom as I get in person. We did not skip a beat and I was able to continue on my fitness journey even though I was not at the gym. It’s been amazing and I honestly cannot recommend these guys enough. I’m in much better shape and my body is much more functional, after training with them for only about half a year!

The entire team is awesome, super knowledgable and very supportive. I've never experienced a gym like this!

Great place for workouts, fitness training they even have a boxing class

I've been training with Marlon for a little over a month now, I cannot recommend him and his team enough. Not only has he helped me make big improvements toward my physical goals but he opened my eyes to other types of fitness like overall athleticism, flexibility, and endurance all of which I was lacking in. Lastly I need to note that there is an environment in this gym that is uncommon. Everybody greets you on your way in and is extremely positive and welcoming. There's a real community here of good people pushing to get the most from their lives!

They trainers are very good. Marlon has created a friendly atmosphere and I enjoy working out there. The only problem I've had is the heart rate monitors that they sell. After about 5 months I started having problems with monitor and was disappointed with customer service and getting it replaced.

This review is for Robert! He's one of the best boxing coaches out there!!! He'll teach you how to punch fast and hard. He's got many wonderful drills to improve your technique and can focus on your needs and what you want to do. I highly recommend you check his classes out or personal train with him! He's the best.

Love the trainers and the quality one on one time they give

All of the trainers are extremely nice and professional. Coach Aileen Cancino has been working with me for a over a year now. What I can say is overall my flexibility, functionality and strength has significantly improved! I feel stronger every day! She pushes me to achieve MY potential and I appreciate that! She is engaged throughout my entire session and is keenly aware of my physical abilities. I highly recommend Coach Aileen if you're looking for a thoughtful trainer who genuinely wants to help you achieve your goals! I also recommend Body Mechanix for groups!

I don't even go to this gym but my wife does and let me tell you Marlon and the gang got her booty looking niiiice! All the staff here are super friendly and make me feel welcome which creates a family-like atmosphere. They are passionate about improving people's lives and are true fitness professionals that offer diverse workouts.

This review is for my coach David. If you are looking for a personal trainer that is going to tailor work out to you - look no further! David does his research, he takes your input and your goals to make sure you get what you need out of his sessions. They have all the tools in house to make you better. It's been 3 months for me, 5 lbs lighter but that wasn't the goal. The goal was agility and improved movement/footwork. Working with David has been the best NY resolution to date. Highly recommended!

This review is for the personal training only. I've yet to take the classes.

I've been training with David for well over a year. He's worked with me by catering my workouts through pregnancy and soccer injuries. He helped improve my soccer game and provided me with training that maintained me at a healthy weight during pregnancy. I had a really easy pregnancy and getting back into shape after wards has been easy and I contribute it all to my training with David.

The staff and other participants here are super friendly. Everyone knows each other and has a family feel to it. Misty provides killer massages onsite that have been a life saver to me from injuries and just maintaining normalcy. Highly suggest checking out this gym even if you can't commit to personal training, the classes look like great workouts and I'm looking forward to trying them out myself.

What sets this place apart from other gyms is the level of personal attention you will receive from certified professional trainers. The overall body strenghening and resistance training has been fantastic for me. I am 70 years old and have been training with John for 5 months now. I highly recommend going in and talking with John to see what he can do for you. Its truly a life changing decision you won't regret.

My friend recommended trainer David after I expressed to her I wanted to get back into shape. My husband and I went in for a trial run. David’s personality was a fit for my husband and I. We signed up for the couples training. Which I thought we would be doing the same workouts, which we are but David will modify it to fit us each individually. He is also a great motivator, when I feel like giving up he will encourage me to push a little harder and that I got this. The facility is small. The staff we have met are super friendly and also encouraging. Great atmosphere and I highly recommend to check out.

This is a five star gym with amazing trainers. Recently started taking body strength with Marlon and I am enjoying learning new technique and getting a really good workout in. Challenging very-but the rewards are much greater. I love this gym and don't mind commuting after moving to keep coming back for more!

I have heard of this gym because my fiance' raves about it. Even with that I was hesitant to join only because I had a total phobia with the gym. I came in with the assumption that all gyms are uninviting, judgmental, and condescending. You will NOT find that atmosphere at Body Mechanix. Everyone is friendly and super helpful. If Margaret didn't call me in for a consultation, I don't think I would have ever taken the step on my own initiative. And I am completely and utterly grateful. I started with 7 months of personal training with Margaret focusing not only focusing on weight loss but also helping me with my back injury. I can happily say I no longer have back pain (seriously, she's magical).

Recently I've started joining the classes as well. I definitely enjoy Yoga once a week with Alicia, Margaret's 6 PM classes, and the Saturday classes with Robert. If my work schedule permits, I attempt to go 2 to 3 times a week (mostly two because I'm always off late). Joining these classes help me de-stress during the week and I definitely feel accomplished for going. Other perks include the in-house massage therapy and the chiropractic service. I highly recommend doing both just to put your body back in order, PLUS you get to meet another set of two magical people (Hi Mistie and Alicia!)

I enjoy going to this gym because you meet all walks of life with different set of skills and progress in their fitness journey. It doesn't matter where you are in your journey because we're all there to accomplish the same thing: become healthier human beings. It's easy to make friends and meet people that will motivate you during class. The trainers are friendly and provide you constant feedback to either modify a move or get you in proper form to prevent injuries. All the classes are upbeat and different each time. The best part is that you will SEE and FEEL the results. I don't think you'll find a gym like this anywhere else.

Seriously, just step in and say hi. You won't regret it.

This gym has completely changed my outlook on physical health. When I first started I could barely last a full class without huffing and puffing but the support / knowledge the trainers have provided me since day 1 throughout the last 4 years has helped me reach body and health goals I never thought were possible for myself.

The amount of classes they offer really makes it easy for me whenever my work schedule changes and every trainer teaches differently so you'll always get something new with each class they offer. (Conditioning, strength, yoga, boxing)

My family and I will never go back to a traditional gym because the value of the body mechanix community provides speaks for itself.

I've been going to Body Mechanix CV for the past 3 years. Unfortunately, I was on and off for 2 of those years. (More off than on) This was due to my own financial issues. The past year I've been very consistent, Monday thru Thursday and then Saturday Morning. I've taken all of the trainers group classes and can say that are all very different and cater to different needs. My preference is Margaret's 6pm Body Conditioning class and the newly added wed 5pm Boxing class with Rob O.

Before joining I tried working out at home, but was never consistent. Hoping the group classes definitely pushed me to go and follow through! I've met so many amazing people and friends through these classes and I definitely feel at home here.

The classes will MAKE. YOU. WORK. and you will feel very accomplished at the end (and sweaty!). I look forward to class pretty much everyday. The trainers all work WITH you and help you when needed. You are able to go at your own pace which I appreciated at the start. Now I'm able to keep up with the rest!

I've tried the personal training sessions with Margaret and she has helped me with rehab on my bum ankle and wrists. Personal training sessions are super helpful since they can concentrate on your personal needs! Highly recommend this!

A couple of other awesome services that I've tried are the Chiropractor Dr. Alicia (miracle worker!) and Mistie for an awesome deep tissue massage! Both of these ladies constantly fix my body after a week of classes!

All and all I recommend this place to anyone looking to get a great workout, meet amazing people and GET RESULTS! :)

Hope to see you there!

I have been a member of many gyms so far... but this is the first one I have been actually treated as a family member, not just a client... it's nice to have great people with high energy and really passionate about fitness highly recommended lots of variety and lots of fun

Body Mechanix is a great place to workout and get in shape. The trainers are knowledgeable and good at what they do. Marlon, the owner is a great person that maintains a friendly and fun atmosphere. I love working out there and always feel better afterwards. Strongly recommend!

I have trained with David Askew over a year now, and I highly recommend him! I have had many trainers over the last few years but none compare to him and his dedication to help his clients reach their goals no matter what obstacle lies ahead. He is patient, intuitive, encouraging and very uplifting when I have really needed it. My goals were to gain muscle and tone but in the midst of doing so I had some pre-existing physical limitations flare up with my spine and later learned I had issues with my hip and pelvis as well. He has gone above and beyond to assist me through it. He is always giving me new stretches and mobility work to help strengthen the weaker joints, but still guiding me to hit my goals of muscle gains. I've never felt stronger and always leave my workouts feeling challenged and satisfied.

I absolutely love this gym!! I am currently training with David Askew, and he is great. He is extremely knowledgable and patient with me, and he customizes the workouts to my needs. He also teaches group classes! Great instructor and trainer! Highly recommend!

If you are interested in training and/or group classes, I also recommend Rob Gomez as well. I have been taking his classes for a little over a year now, and they are amazing each and every time.

It has been such an enjoyable experience working with both of these instructors. Thanks Dave & Rob - you guys are awesome.

Love this gym. Awesome trainers. Great workouts. Thanks Body Mechanix Castro Valley!

Body Mechanix is the absolute best! I was an out of shape flabby fifty-something year old woman who never lifted a weight. Now after two years, I'm fit and energetic! I owe it to my personal trainer Robert Gomez and my class instructor Margaret Sohm, along with the rest of the awesome trainers. The staff is welcoming, everyone learns your name, and no matter your level of fitness you have a place here. Thank you Marlon for creating such a wonderful gym! This place changed my life!

Love Body Mechanix! I've been a member for two years now, and Marlon, Joe, and Margaret consistently take care of me. All three REALLY know their stuff, are supportive & welcoming to all, and work HARD to serve their clients. Great balance between challenging workouts that get results, along with overall wellness (stretching, rolling, diet) to help avoid/recover from, injury. Good variety of classes, & they keep it interesting and fun. I highly recommend it.

I enjoy a early morning 9am workout session with rob he's easy going, structured trainer. He's helped me get my shoulders, back, lover back stronger and I've felt major improvements in my work. Thank you rob! If you want a good intense fun workout he's the guy.

I've been training at Body Mechanix in Castro Valley for a year now. I am not a "gym" person, generally, but after the birth of my second child I wanted some structure in trying to recover from pregnancy. Body Mechanix was nearby and convenient for me, so I thought I would give it a shot. I was very intimidated when I first walked in, I was out of shape. I was scared I couldn't do it. But, I was happy to discover that while it might take me longer, or I had to go slower, I could actually do it! What made this gym different from other gym, for me, is that every trainer knows my name, even instructors whose classes I haven't had the opportunity to take yet. The instructors are very kind, and they offer helpful corrections and modifications to make my workouts more effective with less chance of injury. Due to my schedule, I typically attend classes taught by Robert Gomez and Joseph Concillion. They have both helped me immensely to feel strong. I feel like they are personally invested in helping me reach better health. All the other instructors are awesome: Awa, Margaret, David, and of course Marlon. For personal training, I really enjoyed working with John.
For me this gym is a not insignificant financial commitment, but I feel that going 3 times a week makes it 100% worth it for me. Love this gym! Highly, highly recommend it.

If you want results this is the place to go. Plain and simple. But it's up to you if you want to listen to your trainer. What I enjoy most about Body Mechanix aside from the knowledgeable, professional and empathetic staff is it's a nonjudgmental facility and it's very community driven. The trainers are adept and know what they're talking about. I've had bad training at other gyms to the point I ended up injuring myself. At Body Mechanix whether you're in a training session or just doing open gym, they always keep and eye out for improper form and try to help correct it. You are not a number to them. They know your name. And help you achieve your goals. Whether you're doing classes, small group training or personal training it's never an abysmal experience. It's quite the antithesis. I'm originally from Los Angeles home of many gyms but not like this one.

Been going to Body Mechanix for 2 years now! I've lost 20 pounds and feel better then ever! I love the small group environment. They push you hard and hold you accountable. I also train with Robert Gomez there who is a personal trainer and he is amazing. Everyone there is amazing! They help you not only with getting fit but give you advice on nutrition and how to preserve your body a prevent injury! Thank you Marlon, Margaret,Joe,Rob,Eileen, John and Roy for all your dedication and persistence to get us all fit, happy and healthy!

The trainers here are great! Before I came here a few months ago, I had never exercised on purpose before in my life. Now I do personal training here with Roy, as well as conditioning classes with the other trainers. The classes have a very diverse range of skill levels but the instructors are very good at making sure everyone is excelling. In class, the instructors are encouraging and attentive. They don't leave anybody behind for having trouble with the exercises and they always seem to notice when you get something down. One-on-one, my trainer Roy has been very, very helpful. I had to learn a lot of fundamentals (you can bend over at the hip instead of the back?!) and he's very good at teaching while encouraging, no matter how basic something is. I feel like I've come a long way in a few short months thanks to Roy and the rest of the gang. No matter what level you're at, you'll have a great time here and you'll definitely see results. If you're ready to make a change, come on down. You won't regret it.

Love this place! The coaches are excellent, always ensuring proper technique & safety. Marlon & Margaret are the best. Marlon always pushes us to a higher level of fitness. I highly recommend this gym!

Body Mechanix has been life changing for me! The trainers are absolutely amazing and do an phenomenal job of training you properly while also pushing you to get better. They also keep it fresh and exciting with different exercises every time I am in there. I've always been the type of person who thought I could workout on my own and get stronger, but I can say with Body Mechanix I have taken my strength and conditioning to a whole new level. If you are in the market for a gym/trainer I would highly recommend stopping by Body Mechanix and talking with anyone there. They are extremely helpful and friendly! Keep up the great work Body Mechanix!

Body Mechanix is Amazing! I have been a member for almost 4 years. They hold you accountable. They care about your health and well being. It’s like a family atmosphere and they make the workouts fun. Anyone who is interested in some next level workouts and some results and being pushed to your limits come check them out! You won’t be disappointed.They have some Great trainers who are all professional and knowledgeable. I train W/ Robert Gomez and he is the Bomb! Everyone there is the Bomb! Robert,Marlon,Joe,David,Margaret,John,Awa,Eileen, and Devin and Junior...??#BodyMechanix #Castrovalley

Ever since the first day I walked in to Body Mechanix, I was treated like family. John was my trainer and in all honesty, I couldn't have asked for a better one. When I first started, I had terrible posture. Ever since then, John has helped me improve my posture significantly, with various exercises. In addition, he guided me on proper form with many exercises that made a huge difference in my physique (to make gains) and how I feel physically. I'd recommend Body Mechanix to anyone that wants to see change in their physique or to anyone who wants to do effective exercising.

This is a stellar gym with a wonderful program that can be scaled for all levels of fitness! I've loved taking the strength and conditioning classes. Try a class with David or Awa (any of the trainers for that matter) if you want a challenging and fun night and stay in shape without the boring routine in a standard gym. Constant feedback on proper form and function will get you strong and active without the risk of injury. Try this gym and you won't be disappointed!

I have been going to Body Mechanix for almost a year now and I can say that this is by far my greatest investment and has helped me immensely towards my goal of losing weight and being healthy. The gym environment is unlike others and welcomes new people with open arms. There is several classes and trainers to pick from and everyday is a new workout. Overall I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to join a gym but is scared or bored of a regular gym routine!

Giving this place five stars is not enough to express my gratitude. Everyone makes you feel comfortable and like family. I can't thank Marlon enough for setting me up with the most AMAZING personal training with Awa. She helped build my confidence in working out. I first started with her and could not even hold a plank for 30 seconds because I suffered from a weak core after having my third child. She pushed me every session and helped me bounce back and feel good again. I am now able to plank for 2 minutes and feel stronger than ever after only two months. That is a huge deal for me because before working with Awa I tried physical therapy that my M.D. referred me to and they couldn't do anything for me. Working with Awa helped build strength and relieve back pain I was suffering from due to having weak stomach muscles. I am so happy to have met Awa and allowed my stubborn self to just give personal training at body Mechanix a chance because I have gained muscle and lost body fat and can now go to the gym without my husband having to help me with everything. Lol. Thanks for all that you have helped me with Awa. All you moms that want to bounce back should go see Awa!

I found this gym through a friend who has been a member for a while. It turned out to be a great place to get back on my fitness routine and meet my healthy goals for my wedding day. I live out in Dublin and work out of Mountain View so I must really like this place to make it out there 6 days a week for the last several months. The classes are small where you will get to know everyone and will have a lot of support throughout your workout and in making it to the the scheduled classes. And if you need dedicated personal attention to meet your goals each instructor also provides personal training that meets your schedule and individual needs. All the instructors have been with gym for several years and are very dedicated to their clients. I highly recommend this gym if you are looking for a new gym that is very friendly, supportive, fun and feels like home.

I am nearly at 1 year working with Marlon and crew at the Castro Valley location. When my wife recently asked "Are you sucking it in?" and I could reply "No!", I knew I had made significant progress. The physically testing showed I gain muscle and lost fat plus I am close to being able carry 75% of my weights in dumbbells for 90 seconds.

Since starting I have also worked now with Misty in the body work room to help with neck, arm, and hip muscle issues and she is just better than any person who I have worked with in 20 years. She will make you "yelp" in a different way and you'll thank her for it after. I usually set up to see her right after a personal session so I am already warmed up and ready to receive her elbow in all places. Even my wife submits to Misty to for help recovering from a broken knee. I can't even massage my wife's feet so that's saying something.

Last note - I like that when Marlon's travelling the other trainers jump in and keep me on my schedule. I have worked with David and Awa so far and can recommend them personally also but they all seem great.

Thanks to BM I am the better 50yo I wanted to be.

Best fitness place ever. I have been working out with Margret and crew for 1 year. When I first stared I didn't know anything about nutrition or proper body movements. The Body Mechanix crew are so knowledgeable, I continue to learn about proper form when working out. A year ago I suffered from leg and nerve pain. I would mostly sit and lay around afraid to move because of my pain. Today I am for the most part pain free. I never thought I could work out 4 to 5 days a week. The key for me was trusting my trainer Margaret to teach and push me to reach my goals. I would recommend this gym to everyone who will listen. They have so much to offer. Today we work out as a family, together with my husband, daughters and granddaughter. A family that workout together, 3 generations strong. Love this place they are part of my family.

I highly recommend this spot if your looking to get a jump start with your fitness goals. The staff here are experienced, professional, passionate and make you feel comfortable like family. The classes are designed for all fitness levels which is awesome cause you don't feel intimidated.

David was my personal trainer for a couple months. His technique is one of a kind, simply amazing the knowledge this guy has. He helped me trim down 15lbs. If I wasn't so hard headed and listened to his nutrition advice I would be down more than 20lbs. That's all my fault cause come the weekends diet wasn't an option. Don't lie to your trainers when it come to what you eat cause it'll show on the scale. Lol If you put in the hard work with the body Mechanix team you'll get the results and reach your fitness goals. All in all coming here was a blessing. Makes working out feel like more of a hobby and not a job.

Body Mechanix is an awesome gym to be a part of. Each and every trainer is about what they preach. I personally attended the 5am classes with Joe which were a great start to my day and fit best with my schedule. I have personally worked with Marlon, Joe and Jamie, but I would totally recommend any trainer associated with the gym. This is a fun, upbeat environment and you are surrounded by many people looking-out for your best interest. I highly enjoyed the proper technique shown and taught, because I felt that I was learning while working out and not just obeying commands. Great place! Great people!

This gym is ground breaking! it works on lifestyle change for the better. What's great about Body Mechnix is they understand stand that everyone is at different levels of fitness. I have seen them work with 8yr-70+. All the trainers work on stretching and flexibility to prevent injury and push you to have a great work out. From Group workouts to personal training all great. I lost 21lbs, lost 4% body fat and BMI has dropped like crazy. Try it you won't regret it.

Best money I've ever spent has been on John. The trainers there are amazing in every way....change your life today!

Marlon had been my trainer for year LOVE him and love his knowledge! Couldn't ask for more ??

I was very hesitant because I was considerably younger when I belonged to a gym before. The trainers here make you feel right at home and of course my personal trainer John Lopes is fabulous! I would recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about getting fit and healthy.

This is an Amazing place to get your fitness on track. The trainers are top notch. Everyone encourages you, even other clients motivate you.

Get a massage from Mistie ! You won't regret it :)

This is the best gym I've ever been a part of. I immediately felt welcomed and that really motivated me to be there as much as I could. Best trainers I've ever had (Margaret & Marlon) they really pay attention to what your body needs. I attended classes with Robert, Marlon and Margaret and they are all great classes in their own different ways! Sad to be leaving but glad I was able to be a part of this awesome place. You won't be disappointed if you join!!

I was referred to Body-Mechanix by my neighbor. He said he was tied of seeing me in pain from recurring back issues and muscle pulls. He was right, I was broken and needed to some help beyond just walking on my home treadmill while watching Netflix. So I took the step of getting the free assessment session with Marlon, the main person at the Castro Valley location. He interviewed me to learn about current and past issues, did some physical testing to determine areas of weakness, and then discussed some options to consider to make a change.

I signed up for an 8 session package and started going twice a week. Each time Marlon gave me the 100%, one-on-one, personal attention that I needed to both understand why he was asking me to do a certain move and to give me constant corrections as I moved through the exercise to ensure correct technique.

I am on my 3rd set of 8 sessions with Marlon now over a 3 month period. I have my good and bad days and I appreciate that Marlon adjusts to keep me progressing without feeling pushed beyond my ability or comfort level. Getting the technique and moves down early, he is now starting to increase the weight and resistance so I get both the stability and strength training.

Fortunately for me I am able to go early in the afternoon (3PM or 4PM) before things start to get rocking with the classes or when all trainers are working with other people.

What really impresses me, and I am not a 'joiner' or a 'gym person' is that not only Marlon but the entire staff knows me and can call me by name even though I have not worked with them directly. I am even getting to know some of the other regulars because they make a point of introducing everyone to everyone. It is such a friendly atmosphere they have created.

I am going on 50 years old this year and I want to make that transition in the best shape I can be. I think I am on track due to the way this place operates.

Body Mechanix is Awesome! I can't wait for my next group training session. All the trainers are great and they take your workout to the next level while you high fiving your commrads and just plain having fun. I am always challenged and you are guaranteed to leave the gym with a huge smile and firmer behind!

I've never been the type to exercise seriously and after I got hurt pretty severely at 19, I completely let myself go. When I finally did decide to do something about myself 2 years ago running and trying to just exercise in general just ended up with cramps and constant weight fluctuation (no motivation too).

Sometimes it's scary to have a personal trainer (cue stereotypical hype yelling from TV)... but they really help with concentrating on certain needs and teaching you to not hurt yourself.

It was at the Fall Festival this year that I randomly came across Body Mechanix's booth after cuddling some kittens. A free consultation led me to joining. It's only been 2 weeks since I've officially started but I really feel like I can make a change in myself with the help of the trainers and classes here. Just yesterday I was able to lift 25lb in each hand without feeling pain (just strain from lifting something heavy). Literally the last time I had tried to lift a weight heavier than 10lb, I strained my wrist or something. Devon works really well around my injuries and pays attention to everything about my fitness (weight loss, loosening my muscles, usage of my muscles and etc.)

Final Thoughts: I may be completely dead when I leave the gym and my wallet hurts, but it's definitely worth it.

I've been to this location twice over two years for personal training. Joseph was my trainer for both times.

This facility gets five stars for several reasons:

1. When I first looked to sign up, Joseph answered my questions with patience and knowledge (and I had a lot of questions).

2. Body Mechanix pricing was cheaper than other gyms I had been considering (which include Bay Club and Equinox).

3. The friendliness of the other staff at Body Mechanix was amazing. Even after a two-year period, the trainers remembered who I was (specifically Margaret and Marlon, who were also very skilled and professional).

4. Joseph! The first time I went for a 3-month session he helped me get back in shape, keeping in mind my previous injuries that limited my movement, and focusing on specific areas of weakness. The second time I was seeing a chiropractor; Joseph took the time to coordinate with my chiropractor to enhance my training with him so it complemented my chiropractic treatment. He reinforced good posture and strengthened key areas. I highly recommend Joseph as a personal trainer for anyone looking to get back into shape. His care and attentiveness will make you a stronger person.

Jaimie is an awesome trainer she always anticipates all of my ailments and works around them. I've been training with her for 2 years and and in those 2 years she's help work through some really bad injuries that have prevented me from running and limited my abilities to dance hula. I am now training for 1/2 and full marathons. She listens to all my concerns with my health/fitness and nutrition and continues to encourage a healthy lifestyle for me.

Training at this gym has changed my life. I've lost over 50 lbs and I'm healthier than ever! Joe is so knowledgeable and he pushes u to be your best!! The staff is amazing and helpful, they let go at ur own speed. I say if you are ready to make a change come down and check this gym out.

I've been attending body mechanic for a few months now and I'm a huge fan. Before joining Body Mechanix, I went to Orange Theory for more than a year. I didn't see any results at OT and even though I went 3+ times a week, also no one ever learned my name. I've experienced the complete opposite situation at Body Mechanix. On day one, the instructor Margaret knew my name (she knew everyone in the classes name). I've only taken classes with David and Margaret, and they've both been a great help. They pay attention to everyone and give everyone one-on-one attention. Classes are small (they've ranged from 9 to 18 people). Each class is different and you never get bored. Everyone that goes there is friendly; it's a welcoming community. If there's anything I would like changed about the gym, it would be the class times. This is completely personal since I commute from my job in SF and BART is not reliable.

Long over due but I (liezel) was trained by Jaimie Dorris. Gahhh SHE IS AN AMAZING PHYSICAL TRAINER!!!! I was in search of having my first ever physical trainer and after i met up with her. All the others couldnt compare to her skills. I can tell she is passionate about what she does. She is very detailed and is a stickler for good form. I love how she showed me what to do, told me where i should be feeling it, and let me know when i wasnt doing it correctly to save me from injuries. She is also very knowledgeable on nutrition. She challenges me but does not pressure me to do anything i was uncomfortable with. She asked questions to really make the training personal to my body type. I highly recommend her!!! ON another note, the whole staff is super welcoming and gives such positive vibes!!

My wife and I joined this gym last month. We already seeing an improvement in strength, weight, and overall energy. All the trainers are awesome, they will assist in any way they can to help you towards your goal. The gym and gear are in great condition and kept clean. I have joined many gyms but this one makes you feel home and makes you eager to work out and see the trainers.

I love this place. I moved to the East Bay a year ago and I was looking for a good place to work out and I have to say that I've finally found it. I've taken the classes and personal training. The environment is nice, supportive and welcoming so I've become a regular.

I went for an evening workout session and got my butt kicked! The trainers had good energy and were so knowledgeable. I highly recommend Joseph. He's really good at keeping you on track to meet your goals and crafting a custom plan.

Great place for working out and meeting great people. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Great trainers who know what there teaching. Marlyn,Joe,rob,Jamie, John,Roy and especially Margaret.

Haven't been coming here long but just a couple times and the atmosphere is awesome. You walk in and everyone welcomes you. They want to know you on a first name basis. If you're waiting for a trainer they'll contact them to make sure they're on their way. I am training with Roy. I've only done 2 personal sessions with him and I really enjoy him. He's extremely encouraging. When I complain he tells me how great I'm doing. He keeps the motivation coming and he's awesome at it. I leave and know the next day my muscles will all be sore and I appreciate that. I haven't done group exercises yet because my schedule hasn't allowed me too but I am definitely looking forward to when I can! I really enjoy working out here!

This is definitely the best local gym in the Castro Valley area. All the trainers in there are friendly and knowledgeable. Totally transformed my body in 3 month here with the help of all the trainers and also my personal trainer Jaimie. The best part about the group classes is that they allow you to workout the right way so you do not hurt yourself. If you don't like going to crappy gyms like 24, this is the best alternative out there!

They have a great location off the blvd. I was in need of an athletic deep tissue massage so I went to check out the masseuse Mistie. She was awesome as she took her time to listen to my needs and really got in there to get out those kinks! The massage room is tucked away in the gym and after my experience I was impressed with how tranquil the environment was for being in a gym. Thanks again Mistie and Body Mechanix!!

Finally decided to get healthy and I went to Body Mechanix in Castro Valley. That's where I met Robert Gomez (Personal Trainer) He was really nice and I felt so comfortable with him as my trainer. He knows a lot about fitness and customizes my workouts perfectly!(Trust me that's hard to find!) I highly recommend him!

Text him! 510-289-8317

You'll thank me later!

-S.S.

Starting as person who did not like exercising at all and had very little experience with lifting weights, I can now say after 3 years that I love exercising and its all because of Body Mechanix. When I first walked into Body Mechanix I did not know what to expect, however I did notice the positive and family oriented environment that it gave out when I first stepped into the gym, the owner and personal trainer Marlon Gomez made me feel so comfortable and really took the time to learn about me and what my fitness goals are coming into Body Mechanix. Marlon is a very passionate trainer, you cannot only tell that he loves what he does but you can see the love that he has for each client. I never thought that I would ever enter any type of fitness competitions because of my very little experience with exercising in general however, Marlon really believed in me and pushed me with intense training which in the end led me to win 1st place in my very first kettle bell competition. In addition, his 7pm classes are tuff and intense however he is an amazing encourager and really pushes you to perform more than what you expect out of yourself. He has the ability to pay close attention to every client in his class and accommodates client's needs when they are dealing with injuries.

The rest of the trainers, Joseph, John, Rob and Aileen are extremely friendly and have a welcoming presence, they are all very helpful and are very caring and are dedicated on helping you accomplish your fitness goals. Joseph's 5am fit-camp class is a great energy booster that will help you start your day. Joseph is a great person/trainer and really passionate about his job and is great at answering any questions about nutrition. Overall Body Mechanix is a great place to learn and achieve your goals, it provides a lot of services as well as a positive environment. The cliental is very positive and very welcoming to any new client trying out either a Spartan class or a fit camp class. I have recommended this place to many of my friends and they have all loved it and are now active members of the gym. Body Mechanix has not only become a place to workout for me but it has become my second home and I am happy to say that I not only gained knowledgeable trainers to train me but I also gained a family.

So if you are looking for a place that will not only challenge your body and help you achieve your goals, but also will feel comfortable and cared for then give Body Mechanix a try, you will not be disappointed.

I started working out at Body Mechanix in Castro Valley about 16 months ago and it has been life changing. In the past, I joined a couple of big name gyms like Bally Total Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness and I found myself only going a few times and then cancelling my membership. The "Gym Life" was not for me. I hated going to the gym and the only thing I ever did was use the treadmill since that's the only thing I could figure out how to use properly. My idea of exercising was purely running outdoors every once in a while. Then I had a girlfriend who was just like me join BM in Oakland and she raved about it and told me that there was one in CV. A week later, I walked in and met with Marlon and the rest is history.

I attend group classes with Joe, Margaret and Marlon about 4-6 days per week. I enjoy that all the classes and trainers are different and good! I feel so much stronger than I ever have before and I feel more energetic (except for the first 30 minutes after a class, lol).

Also, I've been doing the X-Factor Nutrition with Joe for about 5-6 months now! I get my measurements taken every other Wednesday and he reviews my diet. He then gives me health tips on what I can do differently or more of to reach my goals. Joe really cares and pushes you to do better. Joe is too good at this and I always walk away with new information (and a guilt trip since I'm always cheating, lol)!

All in all, CV BM rocks and all their trainers are willing and ready to work with you. It's a great environment and I enjoy working out there. With time it would be great to see the gym grow and more classes added.

I train with Marlon and he's great ! I've never trained a day in my life and Marlon makes me feel so comfortable and at ease. The gym is nice & and the atmosphere is very welcoming . Everyone is so friendly and it's like they want to see the results with you .

In July 2016, it will be a year since working out with Marlon. I'm down 3 dress sizes, lost inches, pounds and body fat percentages. I gained strength, flexibility and function beyond anything I've ever experienced. Being coachable in the gym has trickled into all areas of my life- 3+ raises at work, dating, smile a lot more, less stressed and emotional... Really I can go on. Personal training, Semi private or group- I love the options, the philosophy and the methodology. It works for me- Marlon and his crew are extraordinary and know what they are doing (from rehab, everyday functioning to athletic performance).

So I'm not a gym rat and I don't like going to gyms. I've been coming here for several years now and can say that working out is a way of life in order to stay healthy and strong. I'm not a health nut, but I've realized that after 30 years of age that exercise and strength training are a must to look good, feel young and healthy.
I have skipped weeks and even months of training with my trainer Marlon when life got too hectic - I definitely felt the difference and people notice the change in my body when I don't go (especially my mother).
I'm familiar with all the trainers and I have to say that it's a really comfortable setting and there is definitely no pretentiousness about this place.

Training-
I noticed that with my trainer, Marlon, I don't have the same routine, I'm not too sure if so I don't get bored or if there's a science behind it. There is always something new and Marlon goes to a lot of conferences where he picks up new things that he can add to my work outs. It seems like a very modern and versatile approach. Did I mention that when they see you hurting or fatigued I get a little juice shot??!! I also like that if my schedule is tight my trainer will work me into his schedule and switch me to semi private session with someone that's on a similar routine. If I'm sore or tight he massages me through my pain - I've seen all the trainers do this!!

I want to leave you with some advice .... I've learned that when it comes to "You" we should always look for what works best for us; like a hairstylist, Realtor, Gardner, dentist, handyman, and now I've realized the same thing with a trainer. I've referred many friends and I have to say they've all had great experiences (because they look HOT and I still see them training at the gym... An hour of your life for a lifetime of compliments isn't too shabby)

As a Zumba/Cycle instructor I thought I was in good shape until I met Marlon! Working with Marlon has given me the chance to achieve a level of fitness, I would not have been able to reach without him. Not only myself, but my students and others have noticed the visible changes with my body. I'm capable of much more, strength and flexibility wise, thanks to his sessions. I'm in the best shape of my life and I continue to get stronger every session with Marlon's guidance.
I have learned and continue to learn so much from him every session. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to achieve my goals with Marlon and Body Mechanix!

After learning of my high blood pressure problems, and the increasing physical toll my job was taking, I started looking for a trainer. In the past I had tried going to like at 24 or other large gyms. But I always felt like I was one of the many sheep they try to heard into there gym.

I found this gym from a referral and they had just opened up shop in Castro valley. This place has changed my life. They showed me how to push the boundaries of what I can do and further. I am currently training to apply for the CHP right now and if you told me 2 years ago that I would be physically capable of that I would have looked at you like you where crazy.

Marlon and his team are the best trainers I've seen. The environment is always positive, no matter how big or small your goal is they will help you reach it. They are a truly carrying group of individuals, and the community of people around this place is wonderful. Marlon himself is my trainer and he has become much more then that, he is my life coach. But above that he has become my friend.

I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone no matter the goal.

Best gym - friendly & fun environment that will have you dripping in sweat from such a great workout! Each class offered is intense but with slightly different instructor technique - will keep you coming back for more (and sore)! Lol

I thought it was about time I write this amazing review! :) I started coming to BM in July 2015 through Class Pass - I had just started working nearby and wanted to see what other gyms were in the area besides 24 Hour Fitness.

When I first walked in, Margret greeted me at the door and gave my an informal tour of the gym, described the classes and introduced me to the trainers that were present - from then on, I began my journey. Of course through Class Pass, I could only come to the gym 3X a month, and boy did I hit that MAX every month! I was officially HOOKED! From the moment I walked into there, I knew it would be a great fit. Everyone is so knowledgeable, friendly and motivational. It's not like your typical "gym." It's more of a community and everyone is family!

However in late August, I started working in San Mateo & couldn't get to the gym as often as I previously had :( So I stayed on Class Pass to come 3X a month. Then in November, I met Jamie, one of the trainers and we totally hit it off! So in January I joined as an official member and started doing the Group Training classes, as well as once a week training sessions with Jamie!

In the almost year I have been coming here, I can't say enough great things about this place. It's amazing how much you can sweat in one hour!! I try to attend classes at least 3-4x a week, plus my personal training sessions with Jamie. Every time I come here, I leave feeling stronger and more fulfilled after every single class! I am happy to say in the last 2 months, I have lost 3% body fat and feel more confident in the way I look and feel :) I recommend BM to anyone that wants to gain strength, feel more confident and maybe needs the extra push that Group Training or Personal Training can give you!

I have been a member of Body Mechanix for 3-4 months now, and this place is incredible! I used to work out at a big box gym, but the classes at Body Mechanix are doing more for my body in the last 3 months, than my previous gym did for me in years. I feel stronger, more flexible, balanced, and energetic. You also begin to see physical changes quickly with the types of exercises and movements the classes teach you. I mostly attend Margaret's evening classes, and she is always watching each individual to ensure you are doing the exercises correctly and in the right form IE: no one gets hurt! She also helps individuals with specific issues. For me it is my posture & shoulders that she continues to help me improve. This gym is a class act, and if you are looking for a dramatic change, but in a fun, hardworking environment, then SIGN UP! You will not regret it.

Working out with Margaret the day after Thanksgiving was better than any Black Friday sale!

The trainers at this gym are super helpful and supportive! I went to my first group class, Fitcamp taught by Margaret Sohm, and I loved it. Was I ready to take a hot shower and relax after, yes I was. I purchased their Groupon and so far it is worth every penny. I plan on going to their Kettle Ball Group tonight. I also highly recommend Marlon, he made me feel that it was his job to help me towards my fitness and nutrition goals, not just to swipe my credit card and put me on a roll list.

Great place and great people. Marlon, Margaret, and Joe have taught me how to solve some chronic pain/mobility issues in my lower back through core strengthening, stretching and "rolling". The group classes are challenging. The trainers are always willing to give advice and remind us to maintain proper technique to avoid injury and maximize results. The encouragement and support I get from the staff and other clients make me want to keep going.

Body Mechanix is where its at if you are training for the game of life! This group of trainers are dedicated and committed to making fitness a doable endeavor for everyone. Assessment, progress, encouragement, recovery, asskicking. I LOVE this place!!!! They don't play!

I recently joined with my friend and we absolutely love it! We enjoy the trainer's and the one on one attention we get. Great workouts and they help with your nutrition as well

I drove by this new little workout gym today and I decided to stop in to take a look. It's a simple set up, with an artificial turf workout area, which is really nice for jumping and running. Margaret was very professional and polite. It is also not open for free workout so I'm sure that when you go in for your personal training and guided classes, there aren't too many people there.
I would have given this place a 5 star because the summer special they were offering was really good, but in the middle of my conversation with Margaret one of the male staff members came up and felt my biceps; sizing me up for sure, and then began to ask me a whole bunch of "Bro Questions". If you don't know what "Bro Questions" are, they are workout and gym related questions asked in a tone that is meant to make you feel intimidated and scared. I've worked out at numerous places around the East Bay, and I know how trainers are supposed to asked those kinds of questions, and this was not the proper way.Needless to say, I was looking to sign my fiancé' up to take classes there, but I would not prefer for her to take classes from that guy. Hopefully it was just a one time thing from him, and I misinterpreted the whole interaction.

*Nice little gym, great summer special, Margaret was great, don't be intimidated by the "Bros"*

I love this place. My best friend and I joined to drop a few pounds before my upcoming wedding and are so happy we did! Joe, Marlon and Margaret are all awesome , super knowledgable and extremely welcoming. Although getting up at 4:30am is not my idea of a good time, my hour at Body Mechanix is seriously the part of my day I look forward to the most. This is my "happy place". The personal training sessions with our trainer Joe are challenging, varied (we never do the same work out twice), and as much as I didn't think I'd say it.... FUN! I can absolutely feel myself getting stronger. Joe offers nutritional guidance, encouragement to push ourselves when we want to quit on a rep and checks in often to offer support through our weight loss journey.  RUN, don't walk to this place and check it out. They are offering some pretty sweet summer specials which is a nice way to start. But just be warned - once you start, you will be hooked!

I have had the pleasure of working with and getting to know head trainer Marlon Gomez and the entire Body Mechanix family.. which is now my family. Not only have they pushed and helped me to reach my goals both personally and professionally.. but have given me a platform for success. Without Marlon's motivational training sessions I would not be where i am today. I highly recommend Body Mechanix and Marlon and his staff with 20+ years in the fitness business. If you are looking to get in shape or just become a better a person I recommend Body Mechanix Castro Valley.

Not your typical gym - more a cutting edge studio with highly skilled trainers that stay on top of of what's new in the sports training science field.  I started here because I needed more results than my spinning class was giving me, but I disliked gyms  like 24 or Bally's - plus, run clubs were worsening my injuries that had never fully been rehabbed.  So I joined because I set a goal for a milestone birthday this year.  Marlon is the owner and instructor of the Spartan (advanced courses), which I love (after they are over ).  I also do personal training with Marlon, which I highly recommend especially if, like me, you have (or had!) multiple injuries.   Marlon, is an expert at what he does. I spent so much time in physical therapy just to be frustrated and going from one doctor to another with no results. But, since I started training with Marlon, I've gained muscle tone and lost about 25 lbs within 8 months.  I've also recovered from acute Achilles tendonitis and sciatica within about a month of personal training/rehab sessions. I've also taken group classes led by Margaret, and Joe - they are also both very knowledgeable, fun, high energy and offer their own perspective.  No matter whose class you take you will get a different workout every day, and they are very detailed and always find a way to give you individualized attention, no matter how many participants are in that particular class.  This studio is in a great location, it's clean, and organized, and the members are fun and friendly.  Definitely a must try if you are looking for a different mind body experience.  The Saturday classes are my favourite!!

I can't say enough good things about Body Mechanix in CV.  I'm not a gym-goer, but my treadmill has been gathering dust ever since I poked my head into Body Mechanix on their opening day.  
I was looking for a change, to amp up my fitness routine and this is it! Marlon, Margaret and Joe are excellent trainers and motivators - very knowledgeable, positive, friendly and tough (but in a great way).  I DEFINITELY feel like I've worked out at the end of a group training class, which I regularly attend.  Everyone makes you feel comfortable; there's no "weirdness" or cliques like I've experienced at other gyms (and which is why I used to work out at home).
Margaret's "shoulder rehab" program is helping me to overcome an old, neglected injury, and Marlon's patented "roller" routine must be experienced to be believed. Joe's morning class is the bomb and sets me up for a great day; I've seen him in action as a personal trainer and I want to try that next.
Overall, I am feeling stronger, more flexible, energetic and less stressed since I found Body Mechanix.  I try to go 4-5 days a week - it's that much fun...and I never thought I'd say that about working out!
Coincidentally, my husband discovered Body Mechanix the same day and we immediately started going together.  Marlon has greatly helped him resolve his lower back issues and increase his flexibility. A big "Thank You" for that!

My sisters have been raving about their new gym and trainer Joe and invited me to come and check it out with them.

I'm starting my 3rd week there and I love it already. Joe is a good trainer and stays on you throughout the  entire session making sure you're getting your moneys worth.

Great gym and great staff!

Ive had the wonderful oppurtunity to work with Joe. The communication and dedication from him is real. From early morning reminders and texts to keeping track of my nutrition. I remember the first time i went to mission peak with the staff of body mechanix, I cant thank Joe enough for sticking it out with me to the end. Everyone at body mechanix are so welcoming and give off good vibes! You should definately come check it out if you're looking for progress.

I love, love, love this gym, it is simple but very effective.  It doesn't have the typical big big workout machines you will find in other gyms but it does have trainers who are passionate about health, fitness and nutrition. Marlon, Joe and Margaret truly care about their clients and listens to them. They take the time to assess their needs and help them accomplish their goals. They will motivate you and give you all the encouragement and support you need to have a great workout.

I've worked with Marlon and Joe over the past few years and they are AWESOME!!! I truly value their expertise, wisdom, knowledge base and most importantly their patience. You can't put a price on success and on making your dream a reality. Thanks Joe and Marlon for helping me realize my potential one training session at a time...love you guys.

I highly recommend Body Mechanix to anyone seeking a place to workout. I attend the group training sessions; they are fun and challenging. Margaret is a great trainer and passionate about helping you to reach your fitness goals. I love that all of the trainers are examples of the health principles that they teach daily. Body Mechanix is a great place to help you attain your fitness goals.

JOE- Is my Trainer and I would have to say he's the best for me... He listened to me the first day I came in there crying about my life story and how off track I allowed myself to get. Poor guy... LOL. But like he told me, I was taking the first step, and that was coming in and asking for help! I am so glad I did!
I have been training with him since the beginning of November 2014 and I already have great results. After 8 workouts we did a reevaluation... I was so shocked at the results! I have signed up for another month and I can't wait for every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! He's really nice- but knows how to push you when you think you "can't do it"... oh yeah he doesn't like that word at all!
He's truly concerned for your health and well being in getting fit, for the first week he had me taking pictures of all my meals and sending them to him, so not only is he a great trainer but he is your Nutritionists, he will help you in any way he can. Eating healthy is so important to a fit body and to your workouts. I eat really well, so I was really lacking movement in my life. I'm very grateful for Joe and what he is doing with me!  Love my workouts and the whole Gym is really nice. Joe and Body Mechanix is it for me! He's easy on the eyes too and that's a bonus!

Love this place. If your looking for a place that is more about socializing and showing off, this is not the place. If your looking for a place to really work out, then this is your place. I am so much more comfortable working out here than at a big chain gym.

I attend the 5-6am fit class with Joseph and he is great trainer. He is very professional and always makes me feel comfortable. He motivates me and my husband. He goes beyond to support me and my husband in staying fit and healthy. He will text in the morning if need it to make sure we make it to class. He will text me and my husband after to motivate us.He provides feedback and accountability. He knows how to push you past your comfort zone while keeping you safe from injury. During our class he is constantly giving us cues and feedback. A valuable attribute that Joe has is patience and you better belive it after working with me, is not easy...

I have been working out with Marlon for a number of years and I love this gym and the people who work there.  The clients are also really cool, interesting people.  I often feel like its the best part of my day because of the fun and supportive environment.  Just hit 23% body fat today (started at close to 35%).  

I am a VP of Sales and take customer interaction seriously.  We all miss returning a call now and then and I would cut the gym a tiny bit of slack.  I have never stuck with a business as long as I have supported Marlon's gym because he truly cares about my health, happiness and overall success.   Marlon, Joe, and Margaret are first class people who know a ton about health and fitness.  Give it a try!  Stop in and just say hello!

I've been going to Body Mechanix for several years for group classes.  The trainers here, Marlon, Margaret, and Joe are very professional, inspirational and knowledgeable about every aspect of fitness and nutrition.  I did some personal training with Joe due to my injured shoulder after getting no results from a physical therapist.  He has done a lot of therapy as well as conditioning and training.  Not only can I lift my arm over my head again and my shoulder is much better and I've lost body fat and inches.  Great place to workout with good people.  You rock Joe!!!

I can't say enough great things about this place. My husband was the one who introduced me to Body Mechanix and I am SO glad he did. I am a mom to two small children so time is very limited for me. It's amazing how much you can sweat in one hour!! I try to attend classes at least 4-5x a week. I leave feeling great and fulfilled after every class! From the moment I walked into there, I knew it would be a great fit. Everyone is so knowledgable, friendly and motivational. It's not like your typical "gym." It's more of a community. Right when you walk through those doors, everyone is so welcoming! And that's not limited to just the trainers. The members come from all different walks of life, shapes, sizes, etc.. but are there for one common goal. There is no judgment whatsoever. I love how everyone (trainers and members) help one another and there is no intimidation. I refer BM to everyone and anyone who is serious about a healthier lifestyle and done in a fun community based environment.

I am updating my review because Marlon (one of the trainers) reached out to me and explained that their system had been down due to making changes. Anyway, I've been attending classes regularly and have worked with Margaret, Marlon, & Joseph and all of them have been amazing! I would recommend this gym to anyone that is serious about getting in shape and wants a little extra attention. I am so glad Marlon reached out and showed me their true beliefs in customer service.

Marlon and his team of trainers are awesome. They are not the typical gym trainers. Marlon and his team genuinely care about everyone's well-being. They take the time to listen and to help reach one's goal. This team of professionals, will push past one's comfort level in order to bring you one step closer towards that goal. They have heart, knowledge, and a great positive attitude. Stop in and meet this fabulous team. You'll be glad you did. Let Marlon's team guide you to a better, healthier you.

I have been training here for the past month and find this place to be a wonderful spot. All the staff is super nice, and appear to be very knowledgeable. I am however biased towards John because he is my personal trainer. John LOVES his job and this is apparent by the way he carries himself in the job and towards others. He is a sweetheart, always smiling and listens to my morning vents about my weight, work...life. He knows my ultimate goal and both encourages me and pushes me in every session. I love my workouts with him and I look forward to every single session.
