Our new classes are just the thing to get you inspired and in shape.”

Insanity and Maximum Output are both designed so clients can get the most of out their workout to get them bathing suit ready, while the TRX Suspension System offers the latest celeb-favorite way to work out by using your own body weight combined with straps that are suspended from the ceiling.

Being a women's fitness and wellness center, we at Body Design care and invest in our clients so we are always looking for inspiring stories and motivation to keep our clients healthy and living their best lives.  So seeing the Biggest Looser finale the other night was so fun to see how the contestants changed their lives and their look dramatically.

More than anything else. The show proves that through diet and exercise, you have the power to change anything you want -- how you look, how you live your life, how you love, how you give back, how your work, how you feel connected to your friends, family and the world. 

Take a look at Danny, this year's winner, if you are looking for inspiration and a good success story. It is truly amazing.

Why Women (and Men) Should Try GYROTONIC

Madonna, Gwennyth and Tiger are doing it.

Anytime you mention that those three -- some of the best bodies around today -- are doing it, sign me up! Sign you up for what, you say? Its only the latest in fitness -- GYROTONIC.

I got a chance to talk to Leslie Bergey, a GYROTONIC expert at Body Design, about why women and men for that matter should try GYROTONIC. Here is what she had to say.

Q: Why should women try GYROTONIC?

A: Women benefit (as do men) from GYROTONIC physically (strength, flexibility, balance, coordination), but also mentally.

The three dimensional movements we do in Gyrotonic "confuse" the brain a bit and ask it to build new motor neurons...new pathways on the body's information highway. You can't really "call it in", just show up and think you're going to be able to do Gyrotonic.

It's going to take you literally outside the box of daily life into a world of rhythmic spiraling, of flowing motions, of power and grace. (Plus it's fun!)
