If spring’s warmer temperatures have you thinking more about exercising, you’re not alone: Spring is one of the busiest times for gyms. When you find yourself longing for an exercise boost, we are thrilled to recommend Body By Ford Personal Training. Whether you’ve never lifted a weight or you’re a certified fitness fiend, owner Ford Stevens and his team will put together a highly personalized program to help you achieve your fitness goals. We spoke with Ford about his successful personal training gym, and it is easy to see why Body By Ford (BXF) is quickly becoming New Orleans’ premier destination for personal training. If you are new to Ford’s services, here are 5 Things to Know About Body By Ford:

Owner Ford Stevens developed a passion for fitness in middle school, when he discovered that exercise had a big effect on how he felt physically and mentally. After college, Ford moved to New Orleans and spent eight years teaching and coaching, and he realized that his work would always be centered around helping others reach their full potential. Personal training was a natural way to combine that with his love of fitness.

Ford opened Body By Ford Personal Training in 2015, and BXF now has a team of three trainers in a state-of-the-art, brand new facility in Mid-City.

BXF offers highly personalized 1:1 personal training, boxing training, and is now launching group and small group training. They specialize in weight loss, muscle building, and body transformation, and take pride in being professional and reliable with all of their clients.

The BXF team strives to provide a welcoming gym atmosphere and seeks to build authentic relationships with all of their clients. From celebrities to professional athletes to people who have truly never once lifted a weight, they work to create an environment that nurtures confidence, strength, and a lasting love for fitness.

Their new offering of group and small group training is a great way to add another layer to a workout, playing off of the camaraderie that comes from group training.

After receiving a tip from a trusted source about Ford’s great training, I enlisted Ford as my own personal trainer and can attest to his highly personalized approach. As one example, Ford crafted a 750+ word nutrition plan for me that is fully tailored to my goals, lifestyle, habits, and weaknesses. He provided in-depth strategies for managing day-to-day challenges, and it is all written with Ford’s signature you-can-do-it spirit, a little humor, and the sincere message that he is with me on my road to my fitness goals.
