Testimonials
I’ve been away from the gym scene for a long time. But Carlo made even look forward
to sweating up a storm, that I’ve never regretted my decision to join. I’ve lost 31 pounds
and 3 inches around my waist since joining BxBF!—Karen Bosch

I’m not a “workout” type persn, but because of the location (and the fact that I need to
lose a few pounds) , I thought I'd give it a try. I have been having a great time and
actually look forward to going to class! The instructors are awesome! They are very
positive and motivating and make you want to push yourself to the next level!—Jess
