Great trainer in a fabulous gym! Uses a hands on approach which to my suprise is rare in this town. He's worth it. In just a little over a month I've been seeing some great results and feel better about how I look. Should have went to him years ago rather than stay where I was. Am very thankful I am training with Gamal!

I had am amazing experience with SmartBodies. I grew up playing baseball and as a result had terrible shoulder pain that not only limited me in the gym but as well as everyday life. Within one session with SmartBodies I was back to normal pressing movements as well as no pain in daily life. Highly recommend if you want to change your life!

I was 46 when I started training with Gamal. I was having regular issues with my upper and lower back. Gamal took the time understand what I was dealing with and developed a workout program I could follow on my own. It’s made a HUGE difference in my strength and mobility.

Gamal is an exceptional trainer with extensive knowledge of physiology and kinesiology. He has helped my husband and I go from completely out of shape 40-somethings to lifting weights multiple times a week. Combined, we have lost over 40 pounds and gained strength. I highly recommend Gamal.

I’ve been working out with John Calton for about 2 years now with SmartBodies and I can’t sing his praises enough!
With him I’ve lost over 80 pounds and have gained significant strength!
I’ve gained my confidence back, I’ve gained my life back, and I’m never turning back! I’m still learning new things even 2 years in!
If you want to change your life, or feel stuck in your fitness journey, I would highly recommend working with John and the SmartBodies program!

I have been training with Gamal for over two years now. He brings an extraordinary level of expertise and experience to our workouts. His understanding of not just the muscle systems but the kinesiology that goes into every workout is above and beyond the norm. He can truly help you get on the right track for your continued and improved health!

I have known Gamal Castile (founder and owner of Smartbodies) for 25 years and his love and dedication for the health and fitness industry has always been unwavering. Gamal is an expert in his field and truly exemplifies the industry he’s dedicated his life to. If you’re looking for help and direction on your health and fitness journey, if you’ve reached a plateau, have an upcoming surgery, feel the effects of age, or have physical and wellness goals for 2024, you can’t go wrong with calling Smartbodies! You’ll love the wealth of knowledge that he brings and his ability to educate you using laymen’s terms. He truly is the best out there with a proven track record. I assure you that you won’t regret it!

I have worked Gamal the owner of SmartBodies multiple times. Gamal has many years of education and hands on experience. Not only did Gamal get me into the best shape of my life, but he did so at a very reasonable price. I have had other coaches in the past who would charge me the same amount or more to only send me a non tailored program and maybe check in with me once every few weeks. Gamal sends out uniquely tailored programs and is available at all reasonable hours of the day. I would highly recommend working with SmartBodies!

I’ve been working with John Calton for about 6 months and it has been a life changer. I’m 61 years old and needed to get back to the gym post-Covid and really wanted help developing a workout routine that would focus on flexibility and all around strength.
John has been very patient with me but he has also pushed me when I needed pushing. He has worked with my somewhat wonky knee and worked around it when necessary.
I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get started working out or to get professional advice on developing a routine to focus on the areas that you need to focus on.

Gamal loves to inspire all his clients to work hard to achieve their goals.
I was telling my sister who lives in STL. that he said he really wanted to work with me.
She replied “Well he’s motivated anyway. I have not been able to find a trainer who even acts like they have time to make an appointment much less listen to what I need help with.”
It’s a great thing to be around Gamal even. His passion and work ethic shine and hopefully have rubbed off a bit.

I have been working with Gamal at SmartBodies for many months, both before my knee replacement, and after. The strength training helped me prepare for the surgery, and also made my recovery go much faster. This program is appropriate for women and men in any age range. I feel much stronger, and my posture, energy, and general well-being have improved. Self-care and prevention of injuries is so important for all of us!

I have trained with Gamal many times over the years, and he has always provided me with the proper and necessary training g to achieve my goals. Just as important as those, he also provided me with the contextual information of why he had me doing certain movements or eating certain things so that I could understand and make better decisions for my goals.

Gamal is incredible to work with. His knowledge of the human anatomy, how it works and how it’s supposed to work is outstanding. After going through 3 surgeries in the span of a year, he was able to get me back on track. I would highly recommend him and his trainers!
