7/31/2008 I have been a member of several gyms, but The Body Shoppe is by far my favorite. The professional and helpful staff continually offers encouragement, helpful tips, and has even offered water to members during their cardio workous! Each Nautilus machine is equipped with a computer monitor that keeps track of the current number of pounds we are lifting, and also provides a visual for number of reps, which is especially motivating.
The Body Shoppe is more than a gym; it's a community of people working together to become health and fit. I'd recommend The Body Shoppe to anyone.

Thanks to the folks at The Body Shop, and
particularly to Debi Garlick who runs the seniors exercise classes, I have been able once again, at age 75, to enjoy both water and snow skiing. I look forward to many more years (I’m the youngest guy in the class) of working toward good health and fitness and having a lot of fun with my class, Debi, and the rest of The Body Shop staff.

I’ve been a member of The Body Shoppe for quite a few years, and I love the place. Let me tell you why....
Usually when I go there I don’t have a lot of extra time. But at TBS, I can park within 10-15 yards of the front door. From the front door to the men’s locker room to change is about 20 feet. Then it’s either 20 feet over to the Nautilus machines, or the 20 feet back out the front door for a run, either on the back roads around town or up the trails by the Poet Seat tower. When I’m done, a quick shower, back to work, almost no time wasted. I know, this convenience is all really trivial, but I like it!
But what I really like about The Body Shoppe, and this is not trivial, is the friendly staff, Steve and Becky and all the others. They help you out, they answer questions, they give you encouragement, they smile, all no matter how old or slow or uncoordinated or grouchy you are. And that’s true of every single one of them.
I walk into the place and the vibes are so good that I automatically feel better, no matter how bad a day I’m having. I walk out of the place, after some good exercise too, and my world is just a whole lot better.

You guys are, hands down, the best gym I have ever been to. And this is coming from a guy who has spent time working out in gyms in Spain, Japan, Thailand and New York. Love the way you are always offering interesting alternatives to traditional workouts!

WHAT THE BODY SHOPPE MEANS TO ME
A year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.2 weeks after the first of many surgeries,I was on my way to Killington with the GANG,accomplishing the first of,hopefully,many personal bests.
As I went thru 4 months of chemo,I continued to work and bike with the WEDNESDAY GIRLS. And as I got slower and slower,Nikki and Karen so patiently waited for me at every
hilltop. I was so grateful that I could be out there and not feel humiliated, just supported. Then back to aerobics and spinning until my next series of surgeries,after which I was limited to leg activity only. So spinning became my exercise life - an activity where you compete with
yourself and do what you can do! And now another Killington ride with 2 more personal bests..
And now the Body Shoppe has partnered with Rays of Hope for the exercise component for staying healthy after cancer. HURRAY FOR THEM! And thank you all for giving me support and space to be.
Love you all.
