Designer Bodies 'World Class Gym'

Just moved from Las Cruces to Albuquerque and started at this gym recently. I was immediately met with kindness and enthusiasm about me joining the gym. The owner Dwain is so nice and passionate about his gym. He's there every day and always greets me with a smile. The gym is clean, a nice cool temperature and everyone there is so respectful and nice! The equipment is top notch and great for functional bodybuilding, body building, weightlifting, etc. So glad we joined!!

Retired military, 23 moves in 28 years...I've experienced it all. This is the best gym I've ever been a part of - hands down. And the owners are truly, World Class!

I've been a member at Designer Bodies for over a year and I'm excited to see their membership build a little. After moving here, my husband and I were set on finding a good gym for our lifting and after trying half a dozen we tried out Designer Bodies and knew it was perfect for what we needed.It's not as large as some gyms around here but the equipment is some of the best I've seen and the owners are always around. There are a few things that could improve, but hopefully as the membership grows some of those things will happen naturally. I would love if they were able to move all the cardio and yoga mat stuff into a separate back room, it would give more privacy to them and more space for lifting equipment (another squat rack!). Another thing would be if the music changed. Currently, it's a little on the mellow side and I prefer a gym with upbeat music playing over the grunts of everyone working out. I also would love if they had longer hours as my job prevents me from getting in before they close on some nights. But again, these are all small things that are not going to prevent you from having a killer workout.I love the vibe here. Some people, like myself, like to get in and get out, and you can do that here. You can also hang out, like others do, and everyone seems to be pretty friendly so that's cool too.

During a recent stay in ABQ I was so happy to find Designer Bodies- there aren't many places like this left in the gym world- all the stuff you need, none of the fluff and stuff you don't. Awesome collection of essential equipment and little extras like micro-plates and things you don't find everywhere like a ghr and lat pull-over. And the people there are there to lift. Staff and members alike are super friendly- this place has a great laid-back vibe, and Dwain the owner couldn't have been nicer. Local places like this clearly reflect a love for the sport of lifting. Loved my time there!

Dwain and his staff are tireless in their mission to help others in their personal journeys. I've come to know Dwain's heart is in the right place. His gym is equipped with top notch machines and it's no wonder the elite bodybuilders and bikini fitness competitors call his gym home.

I travel all over and have lived in many places. I am currently in Maryland and I am a member at a very high-end gym and to this day this is still my favorite gym I have ever worked out in. I can't believe there isComplaints about the pricing. Some people have no idea the cost of memberships for such a quality equipment . It's not a class style commercial gym and that's what makes it so great! The best gym you will find if you like real training! Anytime I come back and visit family here in Albuquerque I look forward to getting my workouts in. The gym has absolutely every single type of equipment and anything you can possibly want yet it''s still intimate. Such a nice and friendly atmosphere, plus extremely clean.

High quality bodybuilding gym with a wide variety of weight training equipment, always very clean with a welcoming and family friendly atmosphere. I have been going regularly for years and have always had a good workout.

Been a member for two years. Joined because I wanted a smaller non-chain club who's owner,staff, and members are serious about training and understand workout etiquette. No sales pitch here, as some reviews falsely claim, the staff aren't trained sales staff and don't promise the moon as you get at a chain club. If you know what you want and dedicated then this is the club for you. The machine weight equipment with it built-in smooth resistance features are the best I've used.

I live very close to this gym and was interested in what they have to offer. I went in and inquired about their memberships. I was told to fill out paperwork and take a tour. Being in a hurry, I told the man that I simply wanted to run on a treadmill a couple times a week and he said that would fall under any of their memberships. I said "great! How much do your memberships cost?" At this point he got a little huffy and said "We don't give prices until you take a tour!" LOL!! What?? Get your priorities in line guys. If a customer is asking for information bc they want to buy your product, give them the info! Why so shady slim?

I've been a member for about a year and a half. If you are serious about your health and like to spend gym time effectively, this is the place for you. The owner is very knowledgeable about bodybuilding and fitness, and has selected equipment to allow the widest range of exercises. The facility is probably the cleanest I have ever seen, staff clean floors and equipment multiple times a day. Members tend to work out without a lot of chit chat, which works for me. I wish Dwayne and the team all the best, and I hope to see them when we are all let out of the house!
