As much as the equipment and space matters, we get that a big part of delivering on “Fitness is Personal” is how well tuned our staff is to member needs. That’s why we work especially hard to recruit the best of the best; staff and trainers who are truly passionate about fitness and ready to “go to the mat” in order to help you achieve your goals. We encourage you to come meet the team and get their perspective on what it means to be a part of the BodyScapes community.
