Fitness has always been one of my first loves. From being an athlete in high school and getting injured, I feel off for a little bit. I then went to college and got myself together. As time went by, I started going up and down in my results. I always kept making excuses for myself. As I completed grad school, I joined the gym because I was starting to have time. I ended up joining UFC. This gym helped me with different types of training that kept me in shape. Then as the years gone by, I started to notice that I wasn't really getting what I wanted. That include big stuff such as help with nutrition such as what to eat. I complained about that the nutrition aspect to my work family, and they then told me about their gym. I blew it off for a little bit then what caught my attention was the Total Body Transformation (TBT) challenge coming back. I thought about it for 48 hours and said, "I'll do it".
When I signed up for the Total Body Transformation, I was a little nervous. I saw my weight and was upset because I seemed to let myself go. I knew it was time for a change when I saw the before photos. After paying for fee for the program, I was knew I couldn't waste my money. With that being said, when they said that fasted cardio was the best thing for us to do to lose the body fat, I started waking up every day at 3:30am and being in the gym no later than 4:30am. I had to make time before I had to go to work at 6:00am in Suffolk. I don't know how I did it, but I did. After about week 3, I ended up getting so used to waking up at that time automatically ready to workout. My energy in the morning has soared, especially since I am already up for a while before I get into work. Who needs coffee when you have fasted cardio?
My attitude changed so much in regards to how I eat. I now read the labels even more than I used to. Looking at the protein, carbs, and fat have consumed my time while shopping. I am literally in the aisles asking myself, "Is it worth it?" My attitude in regards to working out has changed also. The goal is to be better than yesterday. Total Body Transformation has pushed me to keep going even if my body is tired. I have pushed every morning and during my afternoon lifting sessions to get to where I wanted to be. I am not going to lie, the scale started to scare me a little bit. Only because the there was a point I felt as if I do not drop any weight. I had to remember that I am also lifting and muscle weighs more than fat.
The trainers/ coaches at Natural Bodyz gym have been life changing, especially with their assistance when needed. They are always there to help when needed. It's really nice to know that the gym offers personal training also. Natural Bodyz offers all the equipment that you can think of in regards to weight / strength training. They also have different cardio machines to help reach your goal. What I really enjoy about the gym is that they are really clean. There are plenty of spray bottles and paper towels around the gym so that members are able to wipe down equipment. What I also enjoy about the gym is that they sell supplements that you are able to purchase for a discounted rate. There are also water, protein snacks, energy boosters, and bars that are also for sale at the location. Guest passes are also available when needed. Since the gym is 24 hours, there are plenty of cameras around. That helps me feel safe especially since I come basically in the middle of the night. Showers and bathrooms are also available for usage (I utilize those a lot).
After a while of warming up, the people at Natural Bodyz became family. After seeing the staff and trainers almost everyday, it became real easy to talk to them and ask questions. Let Natural Bodyz make a difference in your life like they made a...
Read moreBEST GYM IN THE 757! If you are on the fence about getting a membership here or somewhere else.. I’ll tell you why Natural Bodyz is hands down the best in the area. It’s 24/7 and 2 great locations with full top of the line equipment. The NB Fam - once you get a membership here, you just joined the most supportive community of gym goers I have ever seen. I’ve had gym memberships while living in multiple different states, even different countries and by far my NB gym fam is the best out there. Everyone wants you to succeed and reach your fitness goals. If you have a question about anything the trainers are all extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help out. Even that “scary muscle head” in the corner is the warmest, most encouraging person. No judgement zone, everyone has to start somewhere. Never overcrowded, where you can’t get on a machine or squat rack. Yes, like any gym it has its “hot times” where it gets a bit busy but it’s never overcrowded or where you absolutely cannot get on a machine/squat rack. Each location has enough space and equipment to make your workouts seamless. Awesome ownership. The owners of NB are very family oriented, supportive and care about their gym family. The support really shows because you aren’t just joining a gym, but a gym family and thanks to the owners always being present because they really set the tone. I have to shoutout my dude Chad. Chad is an owner and my personal trainer. That dude has helped me grow physically and mentally with his mentorship of the fitness world. Literally within the first month of training and reaching fitness goals that I never imagined hitting, I felt like a new person. Confidence increases, energy rises and the gym became a place I’d find myself hanging out chatting with the trainers and other members even after a workout.
Fitness doesn’t have to be a chore.. and at Natural Bodyz, you’ll see it’s a gym family that you will easily fit right in with. Just send it, it’ll be the best decision you ever make.

Read moreThis place has entirely changed my life. When I showed up last year I was overweight, unhealthy, sad and had tons of inflammation. Since then I dropped the extra weight, I’m STRONG and more confident. I’m mentally and physically just all around a better person, mom and wife. I signed up for a year of training and this week is my last week with my trainer Chad (gym owner) and his colleague Jermaine ( IBEASTfitness) I cannot say enough wonderful things about this community. Chad did my programming and nutrition and it worked wonders. He pushed me to be my best and at times believed in me more than I believed in myself. He makes training fun for everyone with laughter, lots of jokes and great conversations. I don’t think I could have made it through some of the hardest days without that. Jermaine pushed me with PR’s and handed me the HEAVY weights that I didn’t think I could lift. But I did. He believed in me and taught me a lot about the world of training. I was so inspired by my training and how my body has transformed that I’m in school to get my Master trainer certification. I never thought I would love fitness so much. They are running not just a gym but a gym family and a community of like minded, inspiring, awesome people. I am so grateful for my new gym family and friends that I have made. Even though my training is done for now, I am excited to continue my new life journey and stay a...
