BODI — Local services in Scottsdale

Ive been going to bodi classes since 2016 (back in the dark ages of the itty-bitty original studio and class sizes at around 20-30 people). I figured it's time for a very overdue review. The passion and dedication that Nikki and the bodi team have for their clients has always been clear, but COVID19 has made that even more apparent.

Background info: I have my MPH in applied epidemiology. So I can’t help but mentally critique every business's new safety measures and response to COVID19 when I walk in the door. I just took my first in-person class since the reopening and I could not be more impressed with how bodi has prioritized the health and safety of their clients. The time, energy, and money that must have gone into creating a safe environment, while also maintaining the energy and intensity of bodi, is unimaginable to me.

Each person has their own 8x8 box (taped onto the floor to ensure people maintain appropriate distance) with a slew of equipment that varies in weight as you move from one side of the room to the other. What is in your box? You get multiple sets of individual weights, a box (for box jumps and so on), multiple resistance bands, a weighted medicine ball, ring for cardio moves, your own personal sanitizer, and more. No one else touches the equipment in your box which limits shared contacts. On top of that, the focus on sanitation, including availability of hand sanitizer and equipment sanitizer really is unprecedented (since that’s the word we use now).

This gym really is something special. They truly CARE about the health and wellness of their members. They care enough to keep workouts going online when going to the gym wasn’t an option. They care enough to even continue that, now that it is. They care enough to always ask and engage members when they change things up. They care enough to spend a fortune on enough equipment for each person in class (48- if I did the math right) to have multiple sets of individual weights and other equipment to ensure everyone is safe while still getting a quality workout. And they care enough to put thought into every little detail of their client’s health and wellness. That’s clear in their response to COVID19 and that’s why this place is truly...

I've been going to Bodi on and off for a few years. After moving to central Phoenix I tried some other gyms. Nothing compared even closely. I stared a remote job recently and I'm SO happy I have more time to fit this place into my regular routine. Nikki and entire crew are top notch. They seriously know what they are doing and design/explain workouts in ways that are easy to modify depending on what your body needs. The trainers are nice, fun, and supportive.They really make everyone feel welcome. It doesn't matter what time of day you go or how packed the class is, the trainers bring their energy and work hard to make sure everyone is having a good workout. Nikki makes it a point to switch up the workouts and you can tell she studies up so that the workouts are productive as possible. Can't recommend this...

I’ve been coming to Bodi classes for over 10 years now. The music and energy make working out fun. The classes are usually made up of a 1-3 different circuits that you run through a few times, and always include upper body, lower body, core and cardio moves. The instructors are great and I really appreciate that the workouts are different every single time.

These are pretty intense workouts, which is why I go there, but you get to choose the weights that you use, and the instructors always show you ways to modify. And I always leave there feeling like I got a great workout.

If you are looking for a great group fitness class (these classes can have over 70 people sometimes) it’s a great place. Nikki, the owner is fantastic and I love taking...
