BODI, Scottsdale AZ

Fun crowd. Good energy from the trainers. I can definitely attribute a big part of physical fitness back in 2019 to the consistent training I did here.

This is my go to gym in Scottsdale! The workouts are always great and the instructors always are very motivating.

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 like no other.

Best gym in Scottsdale. I have been taking classes regularly here for over a year and happily drive past probably 100 other gyms on my way to Bodi. I moved to AZ about 3 years ago and struggled to find a gym that truly made me excited for a workout. Bodi does just that. I am pretty active and a former barre instructor so I have high expectations from my workout classes. I appreciate quick email responses to membership questions and membership flexibility that does not make you feel like you are signing your life away like at a chain/corporate studio.

The Bodi home workout platform has been such an amazing option for me during this pandemic. I am nearly 8 months pregnant and am not ready to join the 'real world' yet until after baby is born. My husband has joined me for some of my home workouts and as a previous 'heavy lifting' only type of guy, he said he has not felt this fit in a while thanks to the Bodi HIIT style of workouts. They are truly customizable for all types of people. As far as in-house workouts, although I have not been back, I think you would struggle to find other gyms that have implemented this extent of safety precautions (check out their distancing setup on Instagram).

I also participated in the Bodi Mama program earlier this year and cannot recommend it enough for pregnant or postpartum moms. I feel confident making workout modifications that are safe and effective for pre/postpartum. I am not one bit concerned about the road ahead and getting back to my pre baby fitness level and I have Bodi to thank for that.

I am curious, since the gym is closed indefinitely, are we going to get some type of credit since we have paid for the month but can not attend classes? Nothing is posted on the website, no emails were sent, so I am just wondering how you will be handling this?

I do have the same question that I have seen a few people mention. I can not do online classes, so are we getting a credit for any time missed? I have not seen any email communication from the gym yet, any one else? I only got one saying the gym was closed, but no further updates about credits. My other work out studio is giving us a credit for the time that we can not be there. I believe a credit is the appropriate thing to do at this time.

I was hooked after my first workout here. AMAZING motivating trainers that teach proper form. Awesome, welcoming, encouraging community. Music rocks and gets you pumped! Clean. Legit.

Awesome gym! The instructors are always switching it up making every class a great workout. Definitely worth checking out if you’ve never been.

Good workout, but way too many people crammed into a small space. No personalized instruction with one coach for about 70 people. Music is offensive!

This space is very clean, the staff and ownership go beyond to make your fitness needs and goals are met. I would highly recommend Bodi, for it's level of professionalism and guest care.

This place is breath-taking! Staff is outstanding and they are all very welcoming too. My trainer is very helpful and takes care that I am doing the right machines and exercises always. I’ve made them our permanent gym!

More important than anything BODI has created a community of fitness and wellness minded individuals. They provide incredible group fitness environment with challenging but fun workouts. The team of instructors are like a family and will have you feeling at home in no time. Give em a try, you won’t regret it!

If you want an awesome workout you’ve found it. I’ve done plenty of different types of workouts and I get so much out of this one. I like how much if varies every time. A little pricey so I do it through ClassPass so it helps.

Went for my first strength class today with Sarah. Loved the high energy and positive vibe to help me keep pace during a high intensity workout. Had a great sweat and will be back

Get in great shape and have fun This place is great Nikki Maddison and the whole crew are awesome

Nikki and her team have created a great community with workouts that are both fun and intense. Every class we have attended is packed but they always make the workout flow well. Highly recommend BODI!

Such a great gym! Nikki is so full of energy and she is so motivating. Every class is different but they all kick your butt! The other gym members are friendly too!
