Before finding bodhi, I had been looking for a gym to supplement my jiu jitsu training. I also wanted help attaining certain goals that had previously eluded me. I have been a part of just about every program at Bodhi - from the small group training classes to nutrition consults to yoga. I can confidently say this place is the best. Anthony and Karen are genuine people who truly care about their clients. They helped me change up my workout routines and develop healthy habits to meet those goals I was having trouble with. The entire team at bodhi is top notch and always willing to help. As Anthony likes to say, "Believe in yourself, trust the process, practice patience." More...

I walked into bodhi almost a year ago (March 2017). I was obese, diabetic, about to turn 60, and not very happy about it all. Sure, I’m good at my job and happy about that. But my health was slowly circling the drain. I had trouble getting out of bed, getting out of my car, and even putting on socks! I met with Coach Christine and, too self-conscious to waddle into a group class, signed up for one-on-one training. A few months (and pounds) later, Christine told me I was ready for group class, and so I went. I quickly discovered that bodhi is more than a gym; it’s a community. It’s a family. Everybody accepted me and encouraged me and inspired me! We are all on this journey together!! Now I’m 85 pounds lighter and no longer diabetic. On the front window, it says, “body transformation specialists.” That only says half of the story. It should say, “LIFE transformation specialists”! I absolutely and literally owe my life to Coach Christine and Coach Anthony and Coach Alex and Coach David and Coach Karen and even Coach Cheech! And to all my friends who work out with me and encourage me and inspire me! More...

I found myself 6 months ago, having gained 40 lbs over the year, pre diabetic and Cholesterol through the roof. My chiropractor "strongly" advised me that it was imperative that I call Anthony and get with the program.
I've been working with Flo the nutritionist and Mary, my trainer for 6 months. I had lost 5 lbs before and another 20 has dropped off since the end of Sept. 2015
I can' say enough about all of them. It's incredible how much they care about my welfare and not only getting healthy, but showing me how to live a new lifestyle that will be life changing.
I spent hours and hours in a gym in my 30's and was in pretty good shape. The workouts with Mary are invigorating, innovative and like nothing I ever expected. I look forward to working out and am never bored, as workouts are never the same twice. Flo has taught me more than I ever thought I would know about food and it's composition. Thank you all for showing me how to love myself again. More...

I have been interested in training and bodybuilding my entire adult life. I retired 6 years ago after a 30+ year business career as a Senior Executive. In late 2016 I decided I would like to enter my first bodybuilding show (albeit at age 59.5). In April '17 I sought out Anthony's professional advice and expertise to help me learn the bodybuilding poses. At our first session he reminded me of the importance of a proper diet and nutrition. Enter his lovely wife Karen. No pressure on her ("LOL") as we were 6 weeks from the show and I was a "blocky" 224 pounds; fast forward to the show and I was down to 206.5. No reason to stop now with another show in NYC coming in 6 more weeks. In late June I competed in my second show at 195.5 (down another 11 pounds) and once again finished in the top "5". The importance of my story is not the bodybuilding stage but the positive impact to my health and well-being. No longer pre-diabetic; no longer border line high blood pressure; and today crossed the 30 pound weight loss mark since mid-April. I cannot give higher resounding praises to Karen and Anthony for their consummate level of professionalism, positive motivation, and expertise in the fitness and nutrition field. If you want to change your outlook on life and your health I would highly recommend you pay them a visit. More...

I have been taking yoga classes at bodhi. I recommend them for anyone considering it. The staff are all great and very involved with and concerned about the students. The room is smaller and more intimate and facilitates connections and discussion with other classmates. There are different class options for people at different levels. More...

The yoga and Pilates classes at bodhi are great! The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, the studio is welcoming, and all of the equipment is clean. I’ve been attending the yoga and Pilates classes for two months, and I have no plans to stop. I recommend giving a bunch of classes a try. Some of my favorite classes are the ones that I initially thought I wouldn’t enjoy. More...

I walked into bodhi about 6 months ago, very overweight and newly diagnosed as diabetic. I met Christine, who started me on my journey with 1 on 1 training. I soon graduated to the small group classes and got to know coach Alex and coach Anthony and Karen and Jessie and Flo and Cheech! Now I'm a part of the family, and everyone--including my fellow classmates--have embraced me and have helped me with my journey. Now I'm 46 pounds lighter and no longer diabetic. The energy and positivity in that place are life-changing! Thank you Anthony and the whole bodhi gang!!!! More...

I hit a point in my life where I did not like what I saw in the mirror, I said enough is enough and I need help. I searched nutrition counseling and came across Bodhi, met Karen and Anthony and within 6 months I lost 50 lbs, its now 1 year since I walked into Bodhi and at 41 I feel great, during the entire time I have attended their small group training and various classes and have learned how to stay fit and injury free. Thank you Karen and Anthony.

I am a Chiropractic Physician that specializes in Sports & Orthopedic Medicine. Needless to say, fitness is a vitally important part of my day-to-day work in the office – but it is also an integral part of my everyday life. Understandably to most, work (and just life in general) can easily take priority over going to the gym or preparing well-balanced meals for the week. Anthony, Karen and the entire staff at bodhi have made it easy for me to focus all of my attention on my patients without the opportunity cost of having to figure out what to do in the gym or what to eat throughout my 13-hour work days every week. I trust bodhi and as a result they care of me and my fitness. Not only do they provide me with structured, easy-to-follow nutrition plans and methodical exercise regimens – every time I walk through their doors, the comradery is palpable, the environment is welcoming and the motivation is endless. The professionals at bodhi do not only transform people’s bodies, they transform people’s lives.

Feb 2014 Update: 6 months ago I couldn't walk a short distance without major knee pain and feeling winded. Today, almost 50 pounds lighter (thanks Karen), I went skiing with my family and didn't feel the slightest bit of leg (or any other) fatigue or any knee pain (thanks Anthony). It was an amazing day, and the start of realizing the dreams I've had about the kind of mom I've always wanted to be for my daughter. No, I didn't run a marathon today, but then again, I'm not done yet! More...
