BodyPlex Fitness Milledgeville — Attraction in Milledgeville

As seventy somethings, overweight and out of shape my wife and I were hesitant to go to a gym to start an exercise program.  We were expecting a bunch of young people with near perfect bodies and little tolerance for a bunch of geriatrics getting in their way.  This is not what we found.

My wife and I went to Bodyplex in Milledgeville.  From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel comfortable, at ease and welcome.  Thanks Lauren, you started us on this journey. We signed up for the Silver Sneakers program there and made Bodyplex our “home gym" for Silver Sneakers.  We’re glad we did.

As a Silver Sneakers member Bodyplex gives us full access to the gym and all of its perks and programs.  We’re approaching three months and haven't looked back. We've enjoyed the use of not only the Silver Sneakers classes, but the cardio and weight machines as well.  The have a large variety of well maintained machines and weights.

So, a little bit more about Silver Sneakers and specifically the Silver Sneakers program at the Bodyplex in Milledgeville.

From the Silver Sneakers web site we find that “SilverSneakers is a program encouraging older adults to participate in physical activities that will help them to maintain greater control of their health.”  They provide an email newsletter which addresses exercise, diet and social interaction.

Bodyplex Milledgeville offers three 45 minute senior oriented Silver Sneakers classes.  Silver Sneakers Cardio, as the name implies, is a good cardio workout. Silver Sneakers Classic has elements of cardio, weight resistance and stretching exercises.  Silver Sneakers Yoga is a mostly seated Yoga class.

That's the mechanics of it all, but nothing short of joining us there can make you understand the dedication and caring of not only the Silver Sneakers instructors, but the whole Bodyplex staff.

Rene Allan or Amberly Little are normally our instructors.  These ladies exude their desire to make sure we have a fun, productive and safe class.  They both are great at explaining why we do what we do and what body parts should be “feeling it “  You might say that's their job… and you might be right, but it doesn't stop there.

Rene, our primary instructor, has been known to bring in food for the ~40 of us.  She takes the time to get to know us by name. She keeps us aware of good times and bad times our fellow members are having.  She cares.

Amberly fills in when Rene is out.  She is also very caring and is never too busy to help us in other areas of the gym with a new machine, advise or just answer a question.  She challenges us with games. She cares.

They all care.  There is no apathy.  There is no not having time to help.  Every single one of us is treated as the most important person there.

I invite you to join us at Bodyplex.  You’ll be...

Body Plex Milledgeville has become my home away from home. Over two years ago, I would have told you that I am not a gym person. However, my husband gave me a trial membership. I embraced the experience even though I was scared. Now I cannot imagine my week without BodyPlex. The staff is always exceptionally friendly. Group fitness is a great starting place if the gym equipment is intimidating. The gym has many classes to choose from, but I recommend Body Pump as an amazing first class to try. Most people love it from the get go. The instructors for all the classes are kind and well qualified. The membership price is well worth the use of the equipment and the group fitness opportunities at bodyplex. Investing in your health is worth the fee alone. If you want to step up your fitness results, there are training opportunities with certified, wonderful trainers. I cannot say enough good things about MY gym. I am stronger, healthier, and more confident than I have ever been. Of course, I have put in a great deal of hard work, but Bodyplex gave me the tools to make my evolving transformation a possibility. Also, I may be tired when I come in, but I feel on top of the world after my workouts. I have made some wonderful fitness friends. I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional training staff at bodyplex. Milledgeville is extremely blessed to have such a quality gym. So when you are ready to get serious about your fitness and health, I highly recommend Bodyplex Milledgeville. Just remember you have to do the work, but you are worth it. It won't be easy, but it can be very,...

If I could have given them no stars then I would have. I have been with this gym for a while and it has been months where I haven’t even been able to go to this gym but I didn’t want to just cancel on them. I am a loyal customer. During covid, I still did not cancel and I stayed with them. The gym in Milledgeville, Ga sent an email that they would be giving a 3 month membership to customers that stuck with them through the hard times and you would have to October to activate it. The email does not say October the 1st but I called today on October the 2nd to activate this for my mom because she really needs to start a fitness journey but doesn’t have the extra money due to hard times right now! They told me no because yesterday was the first. I asked the lady if they could please do it because it was something that they created for their customers and she said no. Even though they created it they would not do it again. The lady was RUDE and NASTY and said that is turning everyone away today as if that would make me feel better. I have been giving this gym my business for years even when I didn’t have it like that just to stay a loyal customer and not 24hours later they can’t help us out!! This is ridiculous and not a way to treat people at all. The only reason why this gym is really in business is because Milledgeville is small and there is only like 1 other gym but I will probably be taking my business there or elsewhere....
