I cannot recommend Bodies by Design highly enough! This facility truly stands out from the rest when it comes to offering more personalized and corrective fitness training. Every session is tailored to the clients unique needs, and the attention to detail is highly apparent. What stuck out to me is that the founder, Eric, has helped countless clients to improve their stability and reduce the risk of falling - a major concern for many. If you're serious about taking your health and fitness to the next level, look no further than Bodies by Design. Five stars all the way! 👍🏽

Eric and Natile supported me through the 8 week accelerated fat loss program and beyond! The level of detail and honest feedback I received allowed me to place my trust in the process and in return get solid results! The discipline and respect I have built for myself along the way has impacted every aspect of my life and I am forever grateful to find them! Thank you guys for being so open and real! 💯

I can’t say enough about Eric and Bodies by Design.
They have helped me tremendously with my physical health and also game changing for Life Coaching!
The tools I learned in the Life Coaching sessions produced better results than decades of working with a variety of therapists.
I am eternally grateful! 🙏
You should give it a try, you will never regret it!!!

How do you put a price tag on your future? I've been fortunate enough to have started my journey with Eric and Bodies by Design 22 years ago when I was only 18 and to come back and see the lasting impact he made is incredible. I would absolutely recommend him. He has the upmost knowledge and experience to take anyone at any level to their best version of themselves. He offers customs plans so no two people have the same cookie cutter print out or copy. His type of care is unparalleled. Start the rest of your life now!

I can't thank Eric enough for the incredible impact he has made. I had been suffering from lower back and hip pain for a while , and my posture was terrible which is still getting better…but with his expert guidance and personalized workouts, I have seen a significant improvement in my pain levels and posture. I feel stronger, more balanced, and more confident than ever before. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being.

In the past three weeks with three sessions a week I have lost 10 pounds working with Eric!! It's effortless to stand up straight now whereas before I was constantly slouching, trying to stand up straight, then repeat. My c-section muffin top is shrinking and looking much flatter. More importantly I can breathe more freely because of Eric's expertise. Eric has attention to detail like no other personal trainer I've worked with. He's fun to work with, personable, and has a positive attitude which helps the training sessions fly by. Do yourself a favor and discover what Eric has to offer. He's the man you've been looking for.

I have learned so much from Devon as my personal trainer. Devon has a very keen awareness of my needs every time we train. She customizes the routine. As we all know some days we feel stronger than others and to follow a cookie cutter routine does not work well for me.
If you are concerned about nutrition, Devon will develop a meal plan. I never realized how important nutrition is to my overall health.
I highly recommend Devon. You will be very satisfied.

Eric is AMAZING!! This was the first morning in a LONG time that I have woken up without ANY pain!!! It was unbelievable - he cured me!! I have had SI joint pain for a while and knew that it was due to a combination of things - sitting more due to COVID and not doing my mobility work. I was there for an hour and Eric took me through a routine of stretching and mobility work. He explained everything, had me practice each movement, and then told me to call with questions at any time. Thank you SO much Eric!

The truth is in the numbers. I am into weightlifting and I can always gain muscle but I can never get definition in my abs. I knew it was going to be diet related so I reached out to Eric. I stuck religiously to his program, STOPPED training abs and only did vacuums. Here’s the numbers
2/27/20 (Day 1): 200.2 lbs. Abdomen skin fold 25mm. 17.41% Body Fat = 34.85lbs fat and 165.35lbs LBM.
4/14/20: 196.8 lbs. Abdomen skin fold 17mm. 14.49% Body fat = 28.52lbs fat and 168.28lbs LBM
RESULTS: Lost 3.4lbs, 2.92% body fat, 8mm of abdomen skin fold and 6.33lbs of fat AND gained 2.93 lbs LBM.
Enough said: mic drop, Mamba out!!

I’ve suffered from DAILY back & neck pain all the way back to freshman year of high school! I’ve seen 4 chiropractors that all told me the same thing…I have forward head posture & a loss of curvature in my next (aka text neck). Although they were all happy to treat me, none of them offered a PERMANENT solution.
Eric at Bodies by Design had me do a SINGLE corrective exercise for 1 minute & 40 seconds, and my posture improved IMMEDIATELY! My shoulders moved back and my chest & arms opened up…I literally felt taller after! Not to mention I was pain free all day. I can’t wait to keep working on this exercise at home!

Eric has helped me radically change my life for the better during the past year I've been seeing him. He has such a dedication and passion to health and wellbeing. Whether you need help with physical fitness, mental wellness, or both, Eric will work with you and your unique needs to make a plan that works for you. I cannot recommend here highly enough.

It would take me way too long to explain my journey with fitness, weight management, and healthy living. I can tell you one thing for sure and that is Bodies by Design significantly changed the way I live. Eric and his team are COMMITTED to fitness training. Additionally, their training also taught me how to optimally eat and how certain foods affect your ability to burn fat, reduce fatigue, and most importantly how to live a healthier life. I could barely run a mile or do a push up when I joined but now at 40, I feel fitter than when I was 20 yrs old. Doesn’t matter your age or fitness level, they will help you attain your goal.
Go visit Eric! You won’t regret it.

Eric recently created an especially tailored meal plan for me to follow and I have been so impressed! Within the first few days of starting the plan, I had much more energy, I felt better, slept better and just thought more clearly! On top of all of these things I started to lose a few extra pounds I had been holding on to. I don’t think there’s a better all around trainer and life coach in the Bay Area! Every plan he puts together is specifically created with that Client in mind...nothing is “canned”.
