I officially completed the #6Week20PoundChallenge with Core Capacity! I have officially lost 23.8 pounds and am down 6.6% body fat!If you are thinking about signing up, I would definitely recommend. I am beyond excited with my results, and I feel 100% better. This program was designed to be challenge… you are restricted in what you can eat (and drink) and are required to go to 5 (intense) workouts per week, with weekly weigh-ins and accountability. But it is worth it! Not only does this program help you reach your goals, but the community is filled with supportive trainers, staff members, and other participants. By the end of the challenge you will not only have (hopefully) reached your goals, but you will be motivated to keep going with an entire new mindset.I had been thinking about doing this challenge for months. I had seen other people post about it and I saw it advertised on my social media but I never followed through. Officially deciding I wanted a change and finally following through was one of my best decisions. I can’t thank the people at core capacity enough for helping me get to where I am!

Core Capacity Transformations was a great experience! It was a definite kick-starter to getting myself back in check that I needed. At first, I thought it was going to be hard. Once I got the all the information at the beginning, listening to the nutrition seminar, which was very informative and helpful, and reading the manual, I thought, no way. After a couple of days down, it became like an old habit. I was super motivated and excited to be doing everything I needed to be doing. I thought I would have trouble and struggle, but that was not the case. Waking up for the 5:30 workout sessions was easier than I even expected! I looked forward to them. The staff at the Tonawanda location was awesome to say the least! Any questions I had someone answered right away! I can truly say I really, really enjoyed working out more than ever. Now that I completed this challenge, I even feel a lot better, mentally and physically. Never expected that! Would recommend them to anyone!!

Completed the ten pounds three week challenge and loved every minute of it. The trainers and coaches (Nick and Rick) have been amazing, motivating and very helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get healthy or to just become a better version of yourself!

I’ve just completed the #20pound6week challenge and I am very happy with my results, down 21.2 pounds and 5.3%body fat. Hard work and accountability pays off! The workouts are challenging and the trainers are very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!

I came to the center to get myself back to where I was before the pandemic. During the pandemic, I feel like I was just surviving. Eating whatever I wanted to, not exercising or taking care of myself. I continue to work and not take care of me! I saw the ad for the gym, and decided to give it a try! AGAIN!!! I had previously done a challenge and had done amazing! I could do this! And I did!!! It was easier because I could do some of the workouts at home, and felt completely safe.The hardest thing for me, was the diet plan, however, it was very simple and straightforward. Once you get into a routine, it is easy. I hope that I don’t have to come back, but knowing they accepted me back if I fall off the wagon again is good to know!!!Thank you to the trainers and staff for the support! I highly recommend the program!!!

I want to give a shout out to Justin and Rick, couches at the Tonawanda Court capacity studio. I started at 217 and dropped 25 pounds and 4% body fat. The workouts were great and the diet isn’t hard to follow. Everyone is super friendly and wants to help with you #20pounds6weeks

After years of sitting and writing my dissertation, my body really needed a reset! I found that I was just tired all the time, really low overall energy, and I just did not feel well overall. Several of my girlfriends had amazing results with Body & Soul Transformation Tonawanda - and so I set up an appointment. I knew I didnt have 20lbs to lose - but I wanted IN! Nick signed me up for the Rock Body Challenge - the goal is a 5% reduction in total body fat. I received a nutrition plan, a set workout schedule, and lots of great materials!The results have been AMAZING!!! Not only did I shed 6.8% body fat overall - I lost between 2.5 - 3 inches over my entire body and am 2 sizes down. The best part though - I also gained an entire community of support. Im not a team workouts type person, but the format is fast paced, the trainers are fun and engaging - their energy is contagious! Each day they provided structure workouts that targeted key areas to help shed fat and build muscle. They were amazing when I needed modification due to medical conditions. Each step of the way - they guided and helped me while encouraging me all along the way. I cannot say enough good things - I highly, highly recommend Body & Soul Transformation no matter where you are at in your fitness journey. They truly promote total body and soul health!!! FTDI and get ready to CRUSH it!

I came back to Core Capacity Transformation looking for a kick in the butt to get healthy and I found it! Lost 12.8lbs and a whopping 9.3% body fat!! I am super proud of my progress and thankful for the support from my husband, son, family and friends. The staff are great at the Tonawanda location and even with all the challenges and restrictions the pandemic has brought this is still an awesome program. #coreathletechallenge

I beat the challenge!! Ill start this review by saying the Tonawanda staff is great, as are the workouts. They offer different levels of difficulty for each move and modifications if needed. On my double days when I was tired of planks, I asked for an alternative core move when I came back later in the day. The staff is friendly and funny and they push you without judging you. Also the app makes it so easy to schedule or cancel and get to the workouts that work with your schedule. Next up, the challenge.. its called a challenge because its hard but a big part of that is water weight.. and they know it (hence fasts, minimal pink salt, and tapering water consumption during the last couple days of the challenge); after all, 20 lb loss sounds nicer than 16lbs. So do I think keeping 20# off for someone who is of average size and athletic ability is possible, prob not.. but they also have a Rock Body Challenge which is a total loss of 5% of body fat for those that are more athletic and have less lbs to lose, which is what I did! I did the plant based challenge so instead of meat I ate brown rice/potatoes/oats, tons of veggies and all the fruit I could eat. I wont lie I cheated and had vegan ice cream occasionally and way more peanut butter than allowed. I also could only fit 5 meals in due to my work schedule instead of 6. That being said I WON! and after 6 weeks lost 5.6%, 15.6 lbs overall. 1 major thing I DID NOT LIKE: the challenge was a bit unorganized, i would ask a challenge related question to a trainer at the gym and then hear a different answer from some other trainer. Also most trainers know the original plan in and out, the plant based plan is kind of a mess and has some mistakes like listing foods that arent allowed in other parts of the book. Also I had asked why the original meat eaters plan listed tomatoes and why my plan didnt allow that, never received a real answer from the 2-3 people I had asked.. Theyre not all on the same page. In fact, I still have some unanswered from week 1. Overall, Im happy I completed the challenge. I do wish I just joined as a member and skipped the challenge portion (so many marketing requirements for challengers) but I feel better than when I started, more confident and a lot stronger

At first I was very hesitant to join in on the infamous 6 week Challenge everyone sees plastered all over facebook, I never thought it could work for me. I know something about eating healthy already and I work out- so how possibly could I make this work? Well, with the stress of NP school and not pushing myself hard enough to get to the gym, I had gained 12-15 pounds and needed a definite change. So I said what the hell? And now I am so glad I did this challenge. The diet was a great change to my horrible eating habits that had developed and the workouts and trainers were fantastic. Everyone at the club is energetic and motivating and really wants you to succeed. At the end of the 6 weeks, I lost 21.4 pounds and a total of 6.9% body fat, gained back most of my muscles and confidence. I feel healthy and happy again. The most fabulous thing about all of this is the fact that I have been migraine free for 7 weeks! Thank you so much Core Capacity Transformations for your push and confidence to complete this challenge.

To start....i lost 24.8 pounds total with just over 18 being fat while on the 20 pounds 6 weeks challenge...that is just freaking awesome!!!How I got here......For the majority of my adult life I have been active and mostly fit....about 2 years ago I stopped training and ignored the food I was putting in my body.  This caught up with me and before I knew it I was seeing numbers on the scale I had not seen before.  I decided I needed a change and it needed to be drastic.  I needed to be healthy for my wife and son...so I joined the 6 week 20 pound challenge hoping to use it as a reset button for my health.  It has been much more.  It helped me reinstate the little things in my diet like food choice, hydration and meal prepping. The workouts are great and are set up to challenge all ranges of fitness...you just have to push yourself.  The trainers and staff were all very helpful.Can anyone do this?........100% without a doubt.  You are told on day one follow the instructions...and the program is simple on paper to follow.  Anyone can do it, it just takes some mental toughness and focus to get through it.  If you can stick to the program it will change you dramatically, making you healthier and happier.

My journey started when my girlfriend begged me to do the 20 pound 6 week challenge with her. Now, here I am 30 pounds lighter and a hell of a lot stronger. I have never done anything like this but it was a great experience. I learned so much from the trainers at Body and Soul, you can tell they are really passionate about what they do. They were upbeat and motivating. I had a lot of fun doing the workouts and meeting cool people who were there for all the same reasons. I was so happy that it wasnt like every other gym, I liked the open floor concept with different zones. The meal plan was awesome. I actually enjoy prepping out my meals but Body and Soul taught me how to portion control and meal prep with the right nutrients. My clothes fit so much better and I have so much more confidence now. It definitely was a challenge to keep not only my body but my mind dedicated to this program. I cannot thank Body and Soul enough for helping me live a healthy life. #20pounds6weekchallenge

Final weigh in!After just three weeks at Core Capacity, I’m down 9.4 lbs and 4.5% body fat.I started at 188.4 lbs and 26% body fat and ended with 179 lbs and 21.5% body fat.Working from home during the pandemic made it really easy to stress eat and I was finding it harder to drop weight by just running like I always used to. This program really kicked things into high gear for me and I haven’t felt this strong in years. My back and hips don’t hurt all the time anymore, and I feel like I have a plan for eating that makes sense and is easy to follow (that’s always been a struggle for me).If you are looking to jump start your road to a healthier life style, I would strongly recommend you give one of their challenges a shot.I didn’t feel like I had time to exercise, but I made time and it reminded me that you should always make time for your health.

What can I say that hasnt already been said about Body & Soul Transformations? My experience has been so amazing that I have committed to becoming a member for at least the next year. In four and a half months I have lost 55 pounds and gained more confidence in myself than Ive ever had. All of the trainers and staff are wonderful, caring and supportive. Ive met so many different people and it amazes me that we can all come together for an hour each day to reach for the same goal, a long and healthy life. I absolutely recommend this gym to anyone serious about changing their life for the better. Thank you B&S!

This was my second 3 - week challenge core athlete challenge! After seeing the results of the first one, I had to come back for another. This challenge I lost 6.4 pounds and 2.7% body fat. This time I was struggling a lot with the diet part, but I know it is the most important thing about this challenge. If you can stick with the diet, you will definitely see the results you want. I absolutely love the workouts! Im not one to go to a regular gym and try to work out by myself because Im not 100% sure what I need to be doing. Its nice to be able to go to Core Capacity because everything is laid out for you and you are working specific muscles, and the trainers are very helpful. If you need to make any changes because of any pain, they will accommodate your needs. I officially joined as a member today and I couldnt be happier. I am super excited to continue my workouts at Core Capacity! I finally feel comfortable and confident about myself and I cant thank Core Capacity enough!

Overall, I had a great experience doing the #10poundsthreeweeks challenge and Tonawanda Core Capacity! Many thanks to Nick, Karli, Justin, and the rest of the team for the encouragement and for helping me see it through to the end and finish my challenge strong!This challenge is certainly not for the faint of heart, and for those looking for an easy, quick fix, they arent going to find it at Core Capacity, even if you think 3 or 6 weeks isnt that long of a time. What they will find is people who care, people who want you to succeed, and people who are committed to seeing you achieve your goals, as well as your fitness, nutrition, and weight loss results. This challenge is intense. It takes a lot out of you, but if you are determined to succeed, stick to the plan the trainers and nutritionists have set out for you, and reach out to the in-person and virtual support, you will see the results and beat the challenge!I have to say, towards the end, I wasnt sure if I was going to reach the 10 pound goal, but I just made it on my final weigh in day! I even lost another percent--which equaled out to 3.5 pounds--of body fat too, so that was another pleasant surprise.I also truly enjoyed the workouts from Justin as well as the virtual workouts, which I utilized almost exclusively my last week of the challenge due to my busy schedule as well as a little cold, which both conflicted with the in-person workouts. Really the only reason Im not continuing with a membership is because of how busy I am at this time, but I have a feeling I might be back in the future!Thanks again Core Capacity, the results speak for themselves

I signed up for the 6 week challenge because I was terribly out of shape due to a hamstring tear last summer. I went all in with the diet and the supplements. I loved the trainers and the workouts and they were geared to your level, level 1 to 3. I lost 23 pounds in 6 weeks and almost 10% body fat. I recommend this program to any athlete who wants to get back in shape or any regular person who wants to get in shape. Its very hard but so so worth it!!

Terrible customer service. Do not return emails or voicemails on critical customer matters. Do not follow guidelines set in their own contracts. Poor communication. Failed to notify members of two locations closing, while weighing people in and taking money for a challenge the day prior. Sad business practices.

I loved this center all of the trainers and this program! The workouts were so fun and the trainers were always very helpful. They motivated you and I never felt pressure from any of them! The diet is strict but completely manageable! I felt amazing just after the first week! I met my goal and lost 4.2% BMI and 5lbs of body fat! I would recommend for anyone!

It’s been a very challenging 11 weeks (3 challenges, plus a two week break around Christmas and New Years), but overall it has been absolutely worth it. In that time, I’ve lost a total of 59.2 pounds, but gained a lot more confidence, strength, and simply feeling much better. The multiple levels in the workouts is what really makes this possible, it was challenging in the beginning and never stopped pushing me. Core Capacity (Tonawanda) was a great place to come each day, the people were nice and even welcomed my family to come along for part of this ride with me. Overall, it’s time for me to take a little break, but the challenges are definitely doable and I recommend them for anyone who needs a bit of kick-start!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the 3-week lose 2.5% body fat challenge. The classes are tough but fast-paced and left me feeling so much stronger and capable of more than I knew I could do. The instructors are very helpful, understanding and quick to make modifications so that everyone can participate. The diet is tough but trust me your body will feel so much better! I highly recommend taking a challenge or just joining the gym. Youll love it.

Well, when I started this challenge back in February I was very worried. I was working 45-50 hours a week and I have three young children. The trainers and everyone at Core Capacity were motivating, positive, and understanding. In the middle of my challenge the gym closed because of Covid-19, how would I complete my challenge at home with three kids? Again, everyone at Core Capacity stepped up and did virtual workouts! I was able to reach my goal, I lost 20.6 lbs!!!

Better late than never! I finished my 3 week challenge on 12/22 and couldnt be more happy with my results! In three weeks I lost BOTH 10 pounds and 2.5% body fat! The workouts are always challenging and motivating, and the instructors are the best. I think Ill be a Core Capacity challenger for life, because theres no better program to break bad habits, get you started on good habits, and get serious results along the way! I ended the challenge feeling stronger, healthier, and with more energy. I love working out in the morning now, and when Im not waking up for a 5:30AM class Im somehow MORE tired than if I got out of bed and started my day off with a good sweat. Thanks Core Capacity!

When I started the 6 week challenge to lose 20 lbs, I was at the point where I knew I needed to make a change for the better. I am so grateful for everything this place has taught me. The trainers were amazing, good people that are only out to help you and push you. They will always offer good advice and assure you if you had doubts. If youre looking to get back in shape and turn things around, this is definitely the place to go. I successfully completed my challenge, and I am so entirely grateful.

I lost 25.2 lbs in 6 weeks. The diet is strict but not complicated to follow. I was sometime bored with the food but never hungry. And I did find some helpful resources with the Core Capacity online community for ideas for food and recipes. The gym sessions are quick pace and motivating and easily adjustable to your fitness level. The trainers are encouraging and always helpful. This is not an easy program by all means but if youre willing to put in the work and give it your 110% you will see results!

Thanks to Core Capacity and their 3 week challenge, my wife and I were able to successfully complete the 3 week body fat challenge (lose 2.5% or more body fat). The group fitness classes were just what my wife and I were looking for. Something to get our heart rate up, challenge us, build muscle, burn fat, and keep us accountable. The hour long class went by quickly because of the high intensity format. The trainers did a great job of explaining the exercises and providing alternative exercises depending on your strengths/weaknesses. We looked forward to the new challenge each class.The meal plan was a challenge for us as we aren’t used to following a specific meal plan. The options for the 3 weeks were very limited according to the book. We found out through the Facebook group that other items are “challenge approved” but just not listed in the book. Getting through the 3 weeks by following ONLY the book was difficult, doing it for 6 weeks would have been REALLY tough for us, if not impossible. Overall, the meal plan worked for the 3 weeks, but we will certainly make adjustments going forward, mainly to add variety and more flavoring to our meals.Thanks to the Core Capacity team, my wife and I were able to challenge ourselves with new eating and exercise habits and see results in just 3 weeks! We are very thankful for the staff that helped us along the way.

Rick is THE best trainer. When I sign up to be a member his 3 classes will be the ones that I go to each week. He is motivating and pushes you without being condescending. Jason is awesome and understanding. They really do want you to succeed and be the best version of yourself that you can be.

I can’t explain the wonderful experience and knowledge I received while participating in the 6 week challenge. I transformed from a beginning weight of 233.8 to a proud final weight of 207.6. That calculates to an astounding 6.4% body fat loss. The experience from this journey has been eye opening. My energy during the day has increased and clothes I wasn’t able to wear prior to this are loose on me. The trainers are amazing in the support they offer. You are able to notice right from the beginning their dedication to their job. They really enjoy what they do and want to see you succeed. The support of everyone at the gym, fellow participants and employees, is indescribable. There is always someone to motivate you through the workout. The workouts are challenging and always entertaining. I have a busy personal life, so the multiple choices when classes are available made it easy to fit a workout in. I was appreciative of the knowledge and tools offered in regards to the nutritional diet I had to follow. This experience in a whole has changed my lifestyle in a positive way and would willingly recommend anyone to try the challenge also. #20pounds6weeks

Overall i really enjoyed my experience at this gym. In the 3 week core athlete challenge I lost about 8 pounds and almost 3% body fat. The workouts were quick and to the point and could be done by someone at all fitness levels. The diet is restrictive but gets results. I would recommend this place to a highly motivated person

I hadn’t thought of myself as overweight, though my doctor kept telling me to lose some weight. After the holidays, I came to the realization that I was in fact overweight (obese actually) as many of the pants I picked up were missing the button. A business acquaintance of mine had ran through the 20pound6weekchallenge at Core Capacity with great success, so I made the decision to call.From the first weigh in day to the end, I never doubted these folk’s ability to transform me. I needed someone to tell me when to show up, what to eat and how high to jump. The Core Capacity team made what was a fairly intimidating program (just from the sheer amount of information thrown at me in the beginning) into a challenging but inspirational journey.From my first step into the gym, I felt empowered and engaged. The workouts were intense but moved quickly. After the first day, I could barely apply the brakes in my truck. I was so sore by the end of the first week. By week three, my confidence and focus level had increased exponentially. I began to look forward to the 4:30am wakeup call each day.The dietary requirements are intense and take a consistent focus to layout and follow, but again after the first week and some careful planning the menu rolled like clockwork. My eight-year-old now likes steamed spinach too!Let no one fool you into thinking this 6-week journey is easy, intense and all-consuming would be a more accurate description. With great effort comes great reward and I lost 20 pounds at the end of four weeks! At the end of six weeks, I was down 30.2 pounds and have lost 6.8% of my body fat. My skin looks so much better and I gained a couple of notches on my belt! My energy level, as well as my mental focus is heightened.I am confident recommending Core Capacity Transformations as a means to achieve your fitness goals and improve your physical well-being. The transformation is astonishing and the staff and colleagues at the gym are so helpful and inspiring. The first step is the hardest step, making the call and showing up. You won’t regret it!

Wow what an amazing program!! As with anything new, I was afraid but my fears were quickly put at ease. Core capacity sets you up for success ! I was given every tool to be successful. The trainers are dedicated to helping you transform. Trust the process and success will follow! This was a life changing experience and I’m so glad I set my fears aside and did the 20pounds, 6 week challenge . Thank you all for helping me transform my life!!

My sister was constantly telling me how amazing this gym was and how I should really give it a try. In all honesty I decided to do the 3 week challenge in hopes to shut her up.I went into the 3 week seminar and then walked out with the 6 week challenge paperwork. Truly was because of the amazing people at the seminar. They all made me feel very welcomed and answered all the questions I had. As I was sitting at the seminar I honestly was inspired and thought to myself it was time for a change. Either I go all the way or don’t bother at all.Jason has helped me through the process. He made a point to sit down with me and really talk with me on everything I need to do to succeed. Jason told me he checks every Monday to make sure we’re on track. And to always feel free to contact him or the staff if I was having a hard time through the process. It truly made me feel like I wasn’t just a number. Everyone really is in this together. Everyone at core capacity truly are cheering you on and are there to help.From Jason to the trainers they all kept me motivated. All of the trainers at the gym are amazing. On days I felt like doing the bare minimum, the trainers made a point to push me. Alex constantly telling me to move it faster, Erica telling me to hold it longer and Justin telling me to position myself better really did help me get pass my goal.In the 6 weeks I have lost 29.8 lbs and 4%BF. I still can’t believe it! I am still on this journey to continue this healthy lifestyle. And now I have become my sister and recommending this place to everyone. This truly is an amazing gym and incredible staff helping you every step of the way. I am proud to now be a member of this facility and can’t wait to see more results through the year.Thank you Jason and to all the staff at core capacity for really being amazing!!Alyssa Penfield

Core Capacity was the best thing I’ve done in a long time. I lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks and also lost 6.5% body fat! The place is unreal! Not only are the workouts fun and hard work, all the staff that work there are amazing! It’s all around a great experience! I am so happy and thankful I got the opportunity to do it! Thank you!

I have never felt so good. Not only physically but mentally. The trainors here make us feel so comfortable and every single one of them keeps it fun! They keep our spirits up every class and push us! I also want to thank Jason who signed me up. He messaged me weekly to make sure i was being strong and motivated! I know this was my hard work BUT i could not have done it without them. I am so happy i chose this company to work with and i have already explained it to at least 20 people who are interested. You guys have a good team over there and i wouldnt change a thing.I would have loved to sign up for the membership but $1800 a year just unfortunately doesnt fit my budget. I would suggest 3 month memberships as well for people that may not be able to afford a year. Other than that this was the best thing that has ever happened to me! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Core Capacity legitimately changed my life. I started this program just hoping to lose some weight for my wedding and by the end, I felt like a different person. 32 pounds and 5% body fat later and I am healthier, have more energy and the tools to continue forward in my fitness goals and be successful. I cannot thank Core Capacity enough for this!!!

Overall, great challenge! I did the 3 week challenge, successfully lost 3.0% body fat and about 8 pounds. It was a great challenge, great trainers and good people. My friend and I did it together, and without her I wouldnt have been able to complete it! We held each other accountable every step of the way. The workouts were great. I am not a fan of working out, but they are quick and very challenging! Only thing I did not like was having to constantly post on facebook! I am not big on social media, but this is in contract that goes along with it.

12.6 pounds down and 5.7% body fat in 3 weeks! Thank you Core Capacity!!!I have had a few discouraging injuries in the last year that have set me back and was having a difficult time getting back to the gym. The 3 week challenge was the perfect jump start that I needed to get back on track & work towards my fitness goals.The workouts were great and the trainers modified specific exercises as needed for my injuries. I liked that the workouts are designed for beginner-advanced levels and the importance of form was emphasized. I especially enjoyed the upbeat environment, music and trainers. Thank you Junior for encouraging me to push past my laziness! The diet was tough but it works. I couldn’t be happier w/my results & am thankful to Core Capacity for providing a beneficial workout program despite injuries.I picked a tough time of year to re-start this journey but 12 pounds & getting a little of my muscle tone back was the best Christmas gift ever!!! I will now continue to work hard towards my fitness goals.☺️

I just did a 3 week challenge program. The trainers are knowledgeable, joyful and push you to do your best. This program gets results, but you have to follow the instructions. The workouts are challenging for sure and are able to be diversified up and down to meet everyones fitness level.

In 6 weeks I lost 20 pounds, achieved a healthy body fat percentage (~24%), and gained the knowledge and understanding of healthy, clean eating. For me, this challenge was all about nutrition as Ive always incorporated exercise into a daily routine. It now feels incredible to actually see results of my hard work because Im following a clean eating diet. Whats even more amazing is that I never felt STARVED on this meal plan. I was always SATISFIED! I used to be the type of girl that would say I work out so I can eat an entire pizza, drink all this beer, have a giant portion of dessert. That doesnt cut it. Abs are made in the kitchen and I feel proud to know that mine are beginning to poke through. Not only have I lost weight but Im starting to get tone and definition in my muscles and is feels FANTASTIC. Im so happy I did this challenge... Its a life style change that Im sticking to for good. Thanks Buddy Trainer! #20pounds6weeks

Cant say enough how much I love this place! This was just what I needed to get in shape before summer hit. All of the trainers were great and the classes are amazing! And Jason made it super easy to get signed up and get in to the class times you need, which helps make doing a challenge stress free!!

Wow lost a total of 23.2 pounds! This was a great way to get motivated again. The workouts are great and can be modified to you and your level which I love!The meal plan was definitely strict but I needed it and it works!!!

I can’t say enough about CoreCapacity! I had back and neck issues and they were so helpful in modifying my workouts so I could get the most out of them. The routines were always challenging and enjoyable. I would highly recommend trying it out! I started with a 3 week challenge in March 2018. Did a 6 week challenge in April 2019 and I just joined the gym with a year membership. So excited !

I did the 3-Week Core Athlete Challenge. I love the workouts here, the trainers push you and motivate you to always do your best! Seeing the results is so gratifying. After the 3-week challenge, I lost 7.4 pounds and 2.5% body fat. Thanks for pushing me to hit my goal!

Core Capacity has provided an amazing and life changing experience. Not only did I lose over 40 lbs, I am now also on my way to becoming a personal trainer myself. Core Capacity has changed my life, not just my physical appearance. They rightfully brag to being a transformation center, and that is exactly what they are. They have helped my physical and mental wellness in a way I am eternally grateful for.

I participated in the 3 week 10 pound challenge. I love this place because they push me better than I know how to push myself independently at the gym. They don’t let you cut corners and they make sure you reach your full potential with every station. It’s fast paced, fun and it was great to meet lifelong friends. I highly recommend giving it a shot!

The trainers and admins are all extremely supportive! Love this gym over any other. It feels like you have a personal trainer with every session.

So for the past 6 weeks, Ive been involved in a challenge to lose at least 20 pounds. I didnt necessarily need to lose 20 pounds, but I wanted to. Before I even began, people keep looking at me and saying that I didnt have 20 pounds to lose, which made me want to achieve the goal even more. I traveled so much for work last year and staying on top of my fitness, as well as my eating habits, took a backseat. I just wanted to get back on track.Today was the final Weigh-in and Im very happy to say that I lost 20 pounds on the dot. On top of that, I lost 4.6% body fat and Im now at 19%. It definitely wasnt easy, but embarking on this challenge was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Ive picked up so many healthy habits and I feel extremely refreshed daily. Working from home, I tended to sleep in because I didnt have to be up at a certain time, but this forced me to wake up early and start the day right, which Im going to continue.The staff at Body & Soul Fitness are amazing, the fellow challengers are amazing as well and I implore anyone that wants a lifestyle change to embark on the same challenge. If you want to do the challenge to lose weight, but then eat badly when youre finished, dont do it, because youll gain it all back plus more. Its a lifestyle change, not a temporary change.I usually am not one to go out of my way to endorse things, but I absolutely endorse this and its free (if you lose 20 pounds).

What a transformation! I am so happy I went through with this process. I wouldnt have been able to lose 24 pounds in 6 weeks without the guidance of this challenge. The trainers were wonderful and I have enjoyed all of the classes. The meal plan was tough, but clearly effective! I now feel like I have a way better understanding of the diet that works for me, instead of trying every new fad that comes across my way. I feel wonderful, proud, and very strong. I feel like 6 weeks has been the perfect amount of time to make this life change. I am excited about the next 6-week challenge in my future!

I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. When I first heard about the 20 pound 6 week challenge I honestly thought it was too good to be true. How could I lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks? I am here to say that this program deserves more than 5 stars. In my personal experience at the transformation center I have learned that you get out what you put in. I was willing to take every single piece of advice and guidance the amazing trainers could give me. If they thought I could push myself a little harder, I did. There is no quick fix to losing weight. It takes, time, effort, strength, and hard dedication to be successful. I would like to personally thank the Transformation Center for giving me my life back. This program is all about believing in yourself and believing that you are more than just the number on the scale. For those of you looking to take the next step towards a healthier lifestyle I highly recommend giving this program a try. Push yourself and make the change.

Joined their 6 week challenge 1/6/2020 and although I did not lose 20lbs, I did loss 15.8 and retrained my brain to understand the benefits of incorporating exercise, meal prep and adequate hydration into my daily routine. Justin and Alex keep you motivated and Karli is very helpful and encouraging! I would recommend this to anyone looking for structure, accountability and guidance on their SELFCARE journey!

If your looking to get into shape and overall body health this place is amazing , they give you the nutrition plan , and group hit classes are great . Trainers are caring and always there to answer any questions and give you that extra push when needed .I lost 26 pounds in the 6 week challenge here , feel amazing , i would reminded this place to anyone serious about their health .

The 6 weeks challenge was a great experience, truly life changing. I love the work out sessions and the trainers were excellent motivators. They were always there to help you and push you to be your best. I love how each work out was designed specifically to help you target and strengthen your core while building your muscles. I definitely would love to keep up the momentum and keep going to the exercise classes. Many thanks to all the staff at Body & Soul Transformation center.

Highly recommend! The trainers and workouts were motivating and always challenging. Diet was well explained and easy to follow!!

Training with Core Capacity has done for me what no other training opportunity could. At first, I was very scared to join, but a challenge later I have no regrets! Finding the time to take the classes was a concern for me as I work and have a child, but the schedule at the center was very flexible with both early morning and late evening classes. And these classes are awesome! The trainers make the class fun and work with people to make the class for them. It was a good fit for me when I just started and is still a good fit for me many weeks later!

My experience at core capacity was everything I wanted it to be! The classes are great, the trainers are even better! I didn’t really know what to expect when signing up for the challenge, but after my first week there, I felt like I’d been working out there for months. To anyone that isn’t sure about signing up, all I can say is that the program isn’t easy, it’s simple. If you follow the program to a “T” you will have great success! Throughout the course of my 6 week 5% challenge I lost 20.6lbs and a total of 12.4% BF. I couldn’t be happier about the results! I would recommend this program to anyone that’s looking to better themselves.

I loved my experience with Core Capacity Core Athlete Challenge at the Tonawanda location. The classes were available multiple times a day, 6 days a week, which makes scheduling so easy! The classes were engaging and fast paced. I couldnt believe all the different exercises they packed into an hour. The instructors kept me focused and they were upbeat and motivating. They made you want to work harder and push yourself through each station. I always left class feeling better than when I came in. The challenge that I was a part of included nutrition counseling as well as the workout classes and I felt like I was always able to ask questions and talk to staff about any of my nutrition concerns. I was able to hit my goals of 2.5% body fat reduction and weight loss. I 100% chalk it up to my experience with this program and this team. I would recommend this program for anyone who wants to push themselves and who wants to reach their fitness goals.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this program that the transformation center has to offer! This was by far one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do, but by far the most rewarding! Every Time they told me to get lower in my squat or use a 40lb weight instead of 30, helped that much more. For the first time in a long time i can look in the mirror and actually feel good about myself! I still have a ways to go to be where I want to be, but I now know that I can get there! None of this would have been possible with out every single one of you at body and soul fitness! (Jr, Rick, Doug, Tom, Matt, Seton, and so many others) I am forever grateful to all of you for your extraordinary help to make me a better me! Who knew it was possible to lose 22.4 lbs in just 6 weeks! And almost 6% body fat!!! Beyond proud of myself! Thank you again for this amazing experience! I will miss all of you, and that workouts! 💪🏼

I would like to thank everyone at core capacity for such an amazing experience. Through core capacity I was able to meet my goal of losing 5% body fat, and lost a totally of 14.5 pounds! It was hard, but worth every second! Although hard, the team at core capacity made it fun and enjoyable! I’m so happy I had the opportunity to work with these amazing people, and I feel so much better, and have so much more energy! Thank you core capacity for everything!

Before I started this challenge 6 weeks ago, my jeans were snug, I was buying bigger shirts, my nice work dresses didn’t fit...I was unhappy! I was creeping up to a weight that was almost scary. I had saw that people had done this challenge in the past but I was so nervous that I couldn’t actually do it! But my mother in law and I decided we both wanted a change, and we were going to sign up to do the 6 week 20 pound challenge!What’s nice about this program is they have a nutritional seminar at your initial weigh in date to help you prepare for the next 6 weeks ahead! They also have a mid-point 3 week check in to make sure everyone is on track and comfortable with the program. The trainers at the Tonawanda location are great! Katie, Jamie, Kari, Doug, Kevin and Justin were always so energetic and kept you motivated throughout the entire workout! Anytime I had any questions or concerns they were always so supportive and helpful!The workouts were not easy, they were brutal at times, but I’m mentally and physically stronger than I have ever been! I finally like to work out again! I can’t thank the trainers and whole team at Body & Soul transformations (Now named Core Capacity) enough for making me happy again!

I had a very good experience! I entered the 6 week 20lb challenge. I lost 25 pounds. They had a good atmosphere and the trainers did a great job. They put you on a food program that guides you through the process. I recommend for anyone trying to lose weight.

I did 2 separate 10 pound 3 week challenges, and lost a total of 25lbs and 5.5% body fat! The workouts are great, they target everything, and its easy to change up exercises to fit your personal level of fitness. Whether you attend a smaller class or one thats fully booked, the trainers always keep a good energy in the room. The challenge diets are strict and can be tough, but they definitely get results and teach you how to make healthier lifestyle changes. Overall great program, so glad that I did it! Was the push that I really needed to start my weight loss journey and feel motivated to be healthy again.

I was very impressed with the transformation center. They truly have a well put together healthy program for losing weight and improving your health.Since I have a busy life style this fit in perfectly. I took advantage of the 6 week program. I was able to schedule my work out in the AM -so I could go on with my day. The work out utilized muscle confusion exercises -no wasting time you are in and out and get a great work out.The food you eat are whole foods and healthy--my body responds to this kind of menu oppose to the artificial foods -and I was so happy that fruit was on the menu.You are in a group so besides the support you get from the fantastic motivating, professional trainers, you also get group support.I think they picked a great name for their company, The Transformation Center, because you do not just lose weight but transform to a healthy life style that you can maintain through out your life.I can not say enough good things about this program --I was able to achieve the 20lb goal lost and will stay with the program for a shorter challenge.

It’s amazing to see how much hard work and dedication can truly get you the result you want! I just finished the 6 week core athlete challenge at Core Capacity Transformations Tonawanda and I can not say enough thank you enough to Jason, Jenn and all the trainers and staff at the gym for helping me make this lifestyle change! I surpassed my goal by losing 8.1% body fat and 19.8 lbs in just 6 short weeks. I’m not going to say it was easy but it was definitely worth it. I can’t recommend this program enough!

I just finished the 6 week #20pounds6weeks at Core Capacity Transformations Tonawanda. The staff is very helpful, encouraging and always friendly. The workouts are not always easy but it is always fun and push you to your potential! I would truly recommend Core Capacity to anyone who is interested in becoming fit and making a total change in their lifestyle. I reached my goal by losing 3% body fat and 20.6 lbs in just 6 short weeks. I would say the hardest part is making time to get to the gym!

Working out here has been life changing, I have completed two challenges and have seen incredible results. They provide amazing workouts and a nutrition plan that is easy to follow and that really works. The trainers provide a fun environment and are there tj support you the entire way. If you looking for a new fun way to workout and lose weight this is the place!!

This past summer, I got to a point where I couldn’t believe the number I saw on the scale, and couldn’t believe that my clothes were not fitting anymore, and I decided that I needed to make a change. Making the decision to do the 6 week challenge was one of the best decisions I have made. This challenge has changed my outlook on so many things. I realized that I was not drinking enough water, was not eating enough of the right things and was definitely not as active as I should be. The workouts were hard, but they did a very good job of setting levels for workouts so that every fitness level could complete the workout and was challenged. I appreciate the encouragement from the trainers, they pushed you to do your best every time you worked out, and they knew better than I did that I was capable of doing that next level or using that heavier weight. I felt myself getting stronger as the weeks past, and am shocked at where I am after just 6 weeks! With the meal plan, I wasn’t even craving the unhealthy foods, or even hungry in between my meals. Don’t get me wrong, there were some days that weren’t easy, but knowing that the program has a very large success rate, kept me going. I know that if I just followed the instructions, then I would lose the weight. After this challenge, I feel healthier, happier and stronger. In 6 weeks, I lost 24 pounds and 3.9% body fat, which is more than I expected! I have the motivation I need to keep going so that I can hit my next goal. I can’t thank The Transformation Center by Body and Soul Fitness enough for helping me make this big positive change in my life, and I am excited to stay with them as a member!

I did it! After having my son I was discouraged to with my lack of weight loss (yes even though it wasn’t long after having him that I started to try). It was a lot harder to do on my own then I thought it would be and I needed something to kick start it. The 6 week 20 pound challenge was the perfect thing. It got me eating really well and working out regularly. The staff is awesome and always makes sure you’re form is correct and they were always there for support, guidance and motivation when you need it. Since I’m nursing I couldn’t take the supplements or participate in the intermittent fasting day or the plant based days and I was still able to hit my challenge goals! I’m down 20 pounds and 5.6% body fat (14.57 pounds of body fat) and I physically feel better then I have in a long long time even well before getting pregnant. This was awesome and well worth it! I can’t wait to see the rest of my progress as I keep working towards my goals.

I signed up for one of their challenges. Loose 10lbs in 3 weeks. It was challenging. A very strict nutrition plan and the work outs make you sweat and sore. I feel great! The trainers and staff at Tonawanda are nice, helpful and very knowledgeable. The other members are very friendly as well. This was my second challenge and I actually enjoy going to work out. I have a bad knee and all the trainers work with me to make sure I get the best work out without feeling pain. I definitely recommend joining if you are looking to get healthy and feel good!

I did it! Down 28lbs in 6 weeks! The 6 week 20lb Challenge was exactly what I needed. The weight from baby number 2 would not come off, since I was nursing I felt that I could not control what I ate. When I was ready, I had to put the money down for the motivation and it worked. I didnt realize how bad it had gotten until I was detoxing from the sugar and processed junk the first week. The workouts were fun and the trainers are great. Im not going to say it was easy... eating right is hard and I certainly had to make some sacrifices throughout the 6 weeks, but it was well worth it. If I can do it with 2 kids under 2 years old and a full time job, anybody can (assuming you actually have 20 extra lbs to lose of course). Definitely recommend it for those who will actually follow it.

I had an amazing experience with Core Capacity Transformations when I completed the 20 pounds in 6 weeks challenge. I learned how to change my diet and exercise routine to lead a healthier lifestyle. The trainers are helpful and attentive. They will individualize workouts if you need modifications for injuries or just need an extra push of motivation. Many make an effort to get to know you and assist you in your goals. They also help with the clean eating program and offer support in any way possible. I would recommend this to anyone who is willing to work and wanting to change their habits.

About 3 years ago I did the 20 lb 6 week weight loss challenge and loved it. The trainers were incredible and I ended up losing a total of 34 lbs. Then life got in the way and I stopped going to the gym and gained quite a bit of the weight back. I decided a couple of months ago I needed to get myself together again and decided to do another 20 lb 6 week challenge. I knew the program worked and I really liked the workouts. Today I had my final weigh in and I lost 21.6 lbs and 5.3 % body fat!!! I feel amazing. This program really works and I would recommend it to everyone. Can’t wait to continue working out at Core Capacity!

#20pounds6weeksMy experience with CoreCapacity 6 weeks 20 pounds challenge was outstanding. The diet plan was easy to follow. The trainers were well educated, positive and very motivating. Lastly, the workouts were accommodating to someone like myself who has had multiple surgeries on my knee and bicep. The results were far better than I imagined. I was able to lose 36 lbs and 10% body fat in 6 weeks.

I must say I am so proud of myself this has been an amazing journey and I couldnt be happier with my results. It took me a long time to realize I was worth it. This program is amazing and I would recommend Body and Soul Transformation Center to anybody whos looking to change their life. Im smiling more have more energy I am honestly feeling better than Ive ever felt in my life!! The trainers are always so motivating and encouraging! I cannot wait to continue my journey this is not the end!!! #20pounds6weeks

I cannot think of a better place to workout. Their program is life changing and pushed me to get past a weight that I was stuck at for so many years. The trainers are awesome, you get to know them as you workout each day and they begin to push you. I needed this to help me not get comfortable in my routine. I’ve received so many compliments on my transformation and I can’t wait to see what is next for me.

Although I wanted to improve my body I started this 3 week core athlete challenge pretty much just to do something with my daughter one on one, I truly didn’t believe I would be able to adhere to the diet or stick to the 530 am workouts everyday. But I did it and I am reluctant to say I actually enjoyed it. The trainers were great and Mackenzie was a great inspiration and help.So I only had to lose 2.5% body fat but u lost 4.1% and 9lbs.This is a great program that works. I believe so much that I became a member now.

The 20 pound 6 week challenge is officially over and I can proudly say that Ive lost 23 pounds! I cant thank the transformation center enough for the endless support and motivation they have given me. I never in my life thought I would like working out but the trainers here are awesome and make it enjoyable. I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to change how they look and feel about themselves. Im not stopping here and I start as a member on Monday! Congrats to all the other challengers, we did it! #20pounds6weeks

Hey, so, I was asked to do a review/testimony of this 6 week 20 pound challenge diet and exercise plan from Core Capacity!The exercises are great, atmosphere fantastic, and trainers excellent!The food plan is very simple yet strict, but if you stick to it theres no way you wont lose the minimum!April 7, initial weight: 184.2 lbs, 38.3% body fatMay 19, final weight: 164.2 lbs, 34.8% body fatI am excited to continue with this gym in the future, this was an excellent jump start for continued weight loss and a healthier me.Would I recommend Core Capacity?Absolutely. And the 6 week 20 pound challenge? Life changer.#20pounds6weeks

I highly recommend this workout facility and all of its trainers. All the money and work put in are more than worth it. They have equipment that you cant get at any other gym along with trainers pushing you through and explaining every workout each and every session. They trainers are easy to come to when you need help or have any questions. If you are looking to finally make that change and become a healthier, more knowledgeable you, this is the place to start. I will be telling all of my friends and family about Body and Soul.

All of life my I have struggled with my weight, but I have always been healthy. As I watched my 4 children grow, I realized that as they get married and have children of their own, I want to be there for them and be able to have fun with my grandchildren. I couldnt take being healthy for granted any longer. No more excuses! So, I decided to get serious with my journey to really become healthy. After seeing success story after success story, I knew I needed the Transformation Center. At first, I was very nervous and even questioned what I had done by committing to the 6 week challenge. But after I got into it and began to see results, I knew it was the right program because it is the total package. Its diet and exercise plus trainers that push you beyond your expectations but also understand your limitations. Its being in a positive, enthusiastic and educational environment with people who are in similar situations. There is such a comraderie among those working out, and there is incredible support and genuine concern for each others success. It has been an incredible beginning to my journey and I look forward to continuing it on a second challenge in January! Thank you to all of the trainers- Tom, Rick, Matt, Doug and Seton- couldnt have lost 26.8 pounds without you!

If you need a kick in the butt to get your health back this is the place for you! Amazing work outs and staff. So happy with my results and you won’t be disappointed.In January I hurt my back just by lifting something that normally I could do with ease. I realized at that point I was overweight and out of shape. After having 3 kids in the past 5 years I really had put myself and my health on the back burner.I had heard great things about Core Capacity Trainer and decided I was going to try it! I’m so so glad I did, yes the diet killed me some days but the workouts and trainers really helped push me through and I feel healthier and stronger than I have in years. It really was a lifestyle change that I’m so happy I made. Thank You Core Capacity Transformations#20pounds6weeks

My Fiance and I did the Body and Soul 6 Week Challenge. I can honestly say that it changed my life. Before the challenge I felt run down and always low on energy. I always wanted to loose the weight I put on but never had the ambition to stick with anything. Going from eating like crap every meal of every day, to the healthy clean eating was my real challenge. The meal plan that this program lays out is easy to follow and you are not starving yourself. The workouts are high intensity low rest and are easy to learn exercises. Im a firm believer that you get out what you put into to it. The trainers push and inspire you to give it your all every move and to do better. I couldnt ask for a better weight loss challenge that truly changes your body and soul. I lost 32.8 LBS and 7.8% body fat. Im down to what I weighed in high school 10 years ago!! #20pounds6weeks

Back in April, my husband and I took on the Core Athlete Challenge offered through Core Capacity Transformations, with the goal of losing 2.5% body fat in three weeks. The challenge involved completing four, one hour workouts each week as well as following a strict nutrition program. At the end of the three weeks I lost over 3% body fat and 8lbs.The workouts were challenging and effective and Core Capacity offered a number of classes throughout the day to accommodate both of our schedules. The workouts made us both feel healthier, stronger and more energized! The staff and trainers were friendly, motivating and very helpful in addressing all fitness and nutrition related questions. The app was very convenient and made scheduling weekly workouts easy! The nutrition plan was the most challenging part of the program; the foods permitted were VERY limited. Having recently gotten off of a medication I had been on for over six years that was causing many side effects, I was looking for a way to detox my body through clean eating. However, the nutrition plan for the program is not really feasible long-term and there are ways to maintain a healthy diet that is more well balanced.The only other challenge we faced was the inconsistency with the handheld body fat analyzer. The challenge is structured so that if you meet the goals specific to the challenge you are participating in, you receive a full refund of the registration fee. This is definitely a very powerful means of holding participants accountable! However, because our challenge focused solely on loss of body fat, our success was determined by the readings from the handheld body fat analyzer. And because the readings were extremely inconsistent and at times varied significantly even by the minute, it made tracking our progress very difficult and therefore frustrating. Despite the fact that we had both lost weight, heading into the final weigh-in we were unsure of whether or not we would beat the challenge, simply because there was no way of knowing how the body fat analyzer was going to read at any day and time. With the amount of money we had on the line, this was disconcerting and caused a lot of unnecessary anxiety.Overall, Core Capacity’s 3 week Core Capacity Challenge was challenging, yet rewarding. It has given us a new outlook on our fitness and nutrition regimes and helpful tools to continue to live our healthiest lives!

I just completed the 20pounds6weeks challenge. I must admit that going in I was very skeptical about losing that much weight in such a short period of time. After all, that would be over 3 lbs. per week, which I didn’t believe would be possible. However, I told myself that I was going to give it an honest try, by that I mean I would stick with the meal program and give a full effort in the workouts. To my surprise after the first week, my weigh-in numbers were incredible, I was down exactly 10 lbs. That alone would have been motivation enough to keep going, but the encouragement that we were getting from the trainers was just outstanding. From Rick and Jr. explaining the proper techniques, so we would get the most out of the exercise to Natalee and Kiel cheering us on to do more and go the extra mile to Doug teaching us all about doing proper squats and introducing us to Sally. I found myself looking forward to the workouts and really motivated to stick with the meal program. All the trainers were great and very positive in their approach to motivating us, never once did I hear a negative comment about anyone’s approach or effort. Which created an atmosphere that made you want to excel and push yourself for that extra split squat or to hold that pillar just a little longer than you thought you could. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about wanting to shed a few unwanted pounds and to tone up your body. As long as you’re honest with yourself and work the program, you will flourish.

This has been an excellent well rounded program. There has been a lot of thought put into it and it hits all aspects of helping you change eating by and fitness habits. They have also built in an excellent continuation plan which really emphasizes the importance of staying the course.

This studio is like a family. All staff and trainers try to get to know you and are super friendly and motivating. Everyone is looking out for each other and will keep you on track. The challenge pushed me to a whole new level. Being someone that usually eats once a day, sticking to a meal plan for 6 times a day was extremely difficult. I would look forward to the workouts each week. I felt the trainers always pushed me to be the best I can be and it motivated me to keep going harder and harder each time. Cant wait to do more challenges in the future.

I would recommend this 200% to anyone that wants to seriously change their lives. Showing up for that first informational meeting was the best decision I have ever made. I didnt know it then, but that was the beginning of my journey to a better me. I feel amazing, more alive, more energy, just happy overall. The progress I see in my body, I never thought Id see again. Honesty, you can workout and diet on your own, but what makes this place special is that the trainers and staff are behind you 100%. They are there to see you succeed. Anything you need, they are there to help. I know I annoyed a few of them will all of my questions at times, but I have never been turned away. Best of all, I feel welcomed there, that is the most important thing to me! The quality of the trainers and staff makes all the difference. If you are serious about turning your life around and giving your body a chance to be at its best, this is the place for you!

The past 6 weeks has really allowed me to focus on my health and I am so thankful I took the step towards making the change my body and soul needed. The trainers at Transformation Center were awesome and very helpful! If I ever had a question or needed help, someone was quick to give an answer and support. I am so thankful for my friends and family supporting me and encouraging me throughout the process! It wasnt pretty or easy, it was definitely really tough at times, but so completely worth it!! Down 5% body fat and 21.6 lbs in 6 week🏋🏼💪🏼 #20pounds6weeks

So here I am at the end of my 6 week challenge. 3 months ago we had another difficult loss, it was devastating. I lost control of my life. This challenge gave me the opportunity to regain control of myself, and of my life and happiness. I feel so light, clean, and empowered, having shed the sadness and heaviness that was dragging me down and holding me under water. When we lost Ava, we lost ourselves. It feels so good to finally start each day looking in the mirror and seeing the other girl Ive been missing in my life, myself. I want to thank the trainers at Body and Soul, for being so enthusiastic and invested in every single workout and every person there. They push you, putting that heavier weight in your hand that you never thought you could handle; pushing you deeper into that squat; or when youre on the ground at the bottom of a push-up thinking you cant make it back up, they are over you telling you they are right there and that you can do it. Not to mention I loved that we got to sweat it out to biggie smalls and snoop dog. And last but not least I want to thank my husband for being so supportive in allowing me this time out of our crazy lives to better myself. If anyone is thinking of doing this, just do it. I hope to be there by your side, I want to join this gym and keep working toward my goals and the other fights I have to overcome 💪🏼. #20pounds6weeks

This morning, I officially completed the 20 pound 6 week challenge! This journey began back on January 6th, when I weighed in at 228.8 pounds, the heaviest I’ve ever been in my entire life. This was really due to a busy work schedule, long days and nights, and just not being disciplined with my fitness. I had very poor eating habits, and little motivation to get up early every morning and hit the gym. I didn’t feel like myself. This challenge really opened my eyes back up to realize what I was doing to myself and where I’d end up had I continued down that path. From day one I took this challenge as an opportunity to get myself on the right track and to remind myself the importance of discipline and consistency. Getting up at 445 in the morning when it’s 10 degrees outside and pitch black isn’t easy. But there’s no better feeling than getting home, drenched in sweat, knowing you just busted your tail, bettering yourself and your body while most other people are still sleeping. It was almost like being back in college and having football practice at 5 am, so in a weird way I actually enjoyed that part. Eating clean wasn’t always easy, especially when temptation is all around you every single day. That being said, it’s amazing how well your body reacts to healthy nutrition and exercise. This morning my challenge was completed, and I weighed in at 202 pounds. I lost 26.8 pounds, and lowered my body fat percentage by 6.3%. I feel great, and more importantly I feel like I’m back to my old self, and the person I’ve been my entire life. This challenge was tough, but very rewarding and I would highly recommend it to anyone who isn’t happy with their fitness levels or just need a good kick in the a** like I did!

Its hard to believe how fast these 6 weeks have gone by! I decided to take the #20pounds6weeks Challenge because I knew I needed to kick start my exercise routine, but needed a little bit of extra motivation. I wanted to lose weight, basically-- I can honestly say I didnt expect to feel as good today as I do! Its more than just a crash diet, and more than just wickedly intense workouts. The trainers at the Transformation Center are personally invested in helping you change your life for the better, through your nutrition as well as your workouts. I am so proud of myself for sticking it out, and for beginning this journey of health for myself as well as for my family! I feel equipped to make better choices about my food (and I actually WANT to make better choices!)I will forever be indebted to the Transformation Center for helping me along on my journey towards health. Im stronger and more confident than I was when I first walked through those doors!

This has been an amazing journey! Not only has there been a physical change, but a mental one as well. I am so much happier, healthier, and full of energy. The trainers at Body & Soul know what it takes to encourage and motivate without negativity - and that has helped me lose 23.2lbs in 6 weeks! Before I began this challenge - I was afraid I would fail....I was wrong, and if I can do it, anyone that is willing to work hard and follow the damn instructions can successfully complete this challenge as well! If you have any doubts or questions, I recommend you give the studio a call and talk to the staff - it can change your life!

Since moving to Buffalo three and a half years ago, my weight steadily increased after I stopped exercising regularly. For the past year or so, Ive wanted to get back into some sort of exercise routine. When I turned 30 in August, I decided it was time to find somewhere I could go to get back in shape. A friend of mine did the 6-week 20-pound challenge at Body and Soul Transformations and my wife suggested that I should do it as well. Through various circumstances and my own hesitance I wouldnt end up actually starting the program until January, but I am so glad that I did. This program works. I was somewhat nervous at first, wondering if I would be able to keep up with the diet and the exercise sessions. The trainers were incredibly encouraging, however, and kept me on track throughout the entire length of the program. My first workout was exhausting and I was sore for days, but after that, my body started to adjust to working out and I began to enjoy exercising again. The diet was tough to keep up with (6 meals a day!) but there were plenty of delicious options to choose from so it was still enjoyable to eat. I would be remiss not to thank my wife for helping me by preparing almost all of my meals and encouraging me throughout the whole process. It is possible to do the program on your own, however, and I encourage anyone who is looking to lose 20+ pounds to try it out for yourself. Thank you to all the trainers and to Body and Soul Transformations for helping me to make a healthy lifestyle change!

I completed the #coreathletechallenge and lost a total 13.2 lbs and 5.5% body fat in 3 weeks.The program involves a strict diet and workout plan. The diet plan helped me see that I really dont need to eat as much food when Im eating the right foods. The workouts were my favorite part and the reason I decided to join their gym. The trainers are super helpful and motivating - working with me through kettle bell exercises almost every class and frequently pushing me to get one more rep in. If youre thinking about making a change for yourself, I highly recommend doing a challenge or at least trying out a class at Core Capacity.

20.6 # and 4.8% Body fat in 6 weeks! Fun dynamic work outs and a lot of support for the nutrition aspect from the coaches. Not just a diet, but a way to learn how to change your lifestyle/food choices.

Starting this journey I was super frustrated with the diet and the food prep. Its a lot of work to prepare all the food and follow the diet as prescribed, especially coming from a lifestyle where dining out was a regular occurrence. However, after a week or two it was something I was able to get used to and as I began to shed pounds I realized that it was working. These results motivated me to continue to follow the diet, work out regularly and stay positive. I had a ton of emotional support from my boyfriend, who is super awesome!The diet is comprised of limited ingredients and finding out what else was permitted on the diet, outside of the handbook, was something that I struggled with. I would have liked to have had more recipes to choose from and believe that the handbook is more limited than it needs to be. Eventually, I was able to find a blog online that had more recipes but was surprised that it was an independent party and not part of the program.After all is said and done, and I was able to fall into the routine, I was able to emotionally cope with the change and felt positive as I saw the results. Although it was difficult, it jump started a new chapter in my life and I was able to transition to a healthier life style. I learned the importance of food prep, water intake and a regimented exercise routine and all the benefits that they provide. I lost over 22 lbs. and 5% body fat, I feel great and you can see the results in my before and after photos. Its not easy, but I recommend the program to help kick start a healthy lifestyle.

Six weeks are over and 30 workouts in.----Follow all the rules- which included posting all your workouts, following the eating plan, and I was successful. I did it. Down 4% body fat too. The center for workouts is great. My husband and I committed to this together. He was successful too. The trainers are awesome! The eating plan is a hard core clean eating schedule. Pretty extreme but it needs to be for you to lose 20 in 6 weeks. This was a great jump start for me. To remember that I need to be healthy and treat my body well and it will respond. Thank goodness I was able to do this challenge. I loved the energy of the trainers. And the positive vibes from all around you are wonderful! I feel so much stronger. I would recommend this program for sure!

This is an amazing place. It gave me the kick start to a healthier life style. I succeeded by losing 23.6 lbs in 6 weeks. I have much more energy and feel the difference with the clean eating habits I developed. I would highly recommend anyone to take the 20lb challenge and give yourself a new start for a healthier and happier you. Im hoping to jump on the upcoming Feb. 2015 challenge to lose another 20+ pounds............JUST DO IT!!!

#20pounds6weeksTaking on this challenge was the best thing Ive done for myself! Often as a mom I dont put myself first. Since completing the challenge and losing just over 20 pound I feel great! Im stronger, thinner, and more confident. I couldnt imagine stopping going, so Ive joined as a member to continue my journey. The trainers are always positive and encouraging. I never felt out of place, intimidated or awkward. The workouts are fun though challenging. I recommended Body and Soul Transformations for anyone looking for a welcoming gym with a positive and supportive atmosphere.

I am so proud to be able to say that I successfully completed the 6 week challenge! I am now 21.2 pounds lighter and feel stronger than I have in years. I started out just wanting to lose some baby weight and ended up gaining so much more! I have more energy to play with my son now and I have a new understanding when it comes to how food can affect your body. I couldnt have done it without the amazing trainers at the Tonawanda location; thanks for always pushing me to do my best. I also want to thank my incredibly supportive husband for helping me stay on track and all my friends and family for being my cheerleaders throughout this challenge. Heres to a healthy and happy future! - Elaine

Finished the #20pounds6weeks challenge. Made the goal and lost 26.2 pounds! Definitely feel better, healthier. It’s a great program and the trainers are excellent. Glad they finally opened a gym in the city. I’ll probably be back for another round.
