Designer Bodies 'WORLD CLASS GYM'

Negative experience: I went to this gym and broke out in hives. The smell is terrible. I went to my allergist and he asked if I was exposed to any new cleaning products or detergents. I couldn’t think of any and then remembered the terrible smell at the gym. I reached out to the owner to ask which products they used and he assured me it was “all natural”. After speaking with other people, I learned that it’s Fabuloso. Fabuloso is horrible for respiratory health in and can cause issues as well as allergic reactions. It’s also not suitable as an antibacterial or antiviral. I’ve talked to other gym members and they had to stop going because of the smell. It’s so strong that it sticks to your clothes. Please consider using a scent sensitive product that also kills germs

Fantastic experience: Traveling from Australia to visit friends in NM I was so happy to find Designer Bodies in Corrales. "World Class Gym" is exactly right - incredible setup with all the very best equipment. Am incredibly thankful to Dwain and his team for being so welcoming. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Never crowded or hot on the inside. Lots of unique and fun machines to use, that I've never seen at any other gym. And the bathroom and shower room are always very clean.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and top of the line equipment! Perfect for anyone who wants to make serious gains!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I absolutely love the Designer Bodies MRP chocolate meal replacement protein/recovery powder. The best formulation for a meal replacement drink I've found so far. It's great for on the go and it's loaded with scientifically backed ingredients. We both feel a boost of energy after consuming, and love the taste. Great product guys!

Fantastic experience: Truly a wonderful place to workout. I love that I get access to equipment that I never see in other gyms. Also, everyone there is always so kind and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place, the owner Dwain is a great man and is really compassionate about his gym. I’m always welcomed in and it’s never so busy I can come any time of the day and have a great workout.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been a game changer in my life! Dwain’s nutrition program and approach to exercise facilitated a net loss of 30lb of body fat over a 4 month period during my program. Due to family obligations I have been out of the gym for the last 3.5 months, however I have been successful at maintaining the lifestyle and weight lost during my absence from the gym. I am excited to be back in town and able to resume training regularly. Oh by the way, I am 70 years of age and highly recommend Dwain’s expertise and Designer Bodies ‘World Class Gym’ to anyone my age who wants to regain quality of life and age gracefully.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Really personable and friendly staff too. Probably one of the only legit body building gyms in ABQ. Worth it.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Dwain is helping to get me back into my prime with all kinds motivation oh yeah!

Fantastic experience: I am working with Dwain on nutrition and personal training and it has been going great so far. He has made every effort to work with my physical therapist to help in my recovery and return to sports from an injury. I really love the atmosphere, the cleanliness and the friendliness of both the staff and other gym goers - everyone has a smile. I'm only a few weeks in, but I can already tell I've made improvements and will continue to trust in Dwain and the process!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym I have ever been to. The owners are knowledgeable, professional and treat you like long time friends. The gym is meticulously clean and the equipment is state of the art. I highly recommend this gym.

Negative experience: Called to get some info on this gym and I was super excited and the man who answered the phone was very rude! “You need to go look at our reviews” do I message the person who wrote the review to tell me more information about the gym than the person who’s works there? I don’t understand.

Fantastic experience: Just recently moved to Albuquerque and fell in love with this gym. Has the best equipment, atmosphere, and support of any gym that I looked at. Whether you’re just visiting or moved here I highly recommend you give this gym a chance.

Fantastic experience: It's hands down the greatest gym in New Mexico.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, this is the best gym in Albuquerque period! If your serious about your workouts and the goals you want to accomplish this is the gym for you!!!

Fantastic experience: Dwaine (and crew) run a fantastic operation. This is not a gym, this is a place where people work and improve. The equipment is top notch. The environment is not flexing. It is a collaborative dedicated community.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down easily the best gym in ABQ. If you live in the area it’s a no brainer. The best equipment and overall great atmosphere. Dwain is an amazing owner I recommend you walk in and see exactly what I’m talking about!

Fantastic experience: This gym has been such an amazing place thus far. The equipment is the best in its class, location is always clean, never crowded, and the environment is in a league of its own. Really happy to have found my spark again thanks to this world class gym. Hats off to the owner and staff for an incredible gym.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy this gym, I tried it out for the first time last week and it was great. Super clean, peaceful, comfortable, didn’t have to wait for machines, good environment, and honestly very nice people! 110% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Designer Bodies for over two years now and I love the variety of high-quality equipment, the cleanliness, how you don't have to wait to use the machines, and the friendliness of the staff and members. The owners take a lot of pride in their facility and it shows!

Fantastic experience: WOW! I can't believe how amazing this gym is. Everything from the staff, culture, equipment, lighting, and water machine is amazing. I have never gotten such personalized, friendly service. I felt like I was part of the family from the second I walked in the door. I'm from out of town, so I was just getting a day pass, but I was treated like I owned the place. Completely blown away by my experience here. They have some of the best machines I've trained on. Do yourself a favor and stop in!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! New equipment (and lots of it!), always clean, and an overall great atmosphere for people serious about working out. People are friendly, and the owners are always there to help any questions you may have. Can't ask for more!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!!! You will not find a gym with better equipment. Always clean! Excellent and knowledgeable staff!!! It has never been overcrowded and therefore you are not waiting!!! This is the place!

Fantastic experience: Loved this gym! Great atmosphere, the owner is such a nice man, my workout was amazing, and the equipment was great, can't wait to go back

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility!! World class service and staff.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have been to in Albuquerque by far. Designer Bodies has it all! Awesome equipment, the best staff, and a family friendly environment. They don’t give prices over the phone, but membership is very reasonable if you want the best equipment/weight lifting facility and an encouraging environment for any fitness level. This gym is worth checking out

Negative experience: We popped in to see what the Gym had to offer Me (69), and Hubby (77). The gym had every machine you could imagine, infact it, was quite crowded with machines. We were told it's mostly a body building gym. It was not busy, we saw 1 customer and 2 employees. This was around 11:45 am. The young man we talked to was very pleasant and recommended we go to another gym. Pssst, a little pricey. We will go back to our gym across town.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best of the best! Great people and atmosphere

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I have ever been to. Great environment, always clean and has the best equipment!

Negative experience: I probably would have signed up for this gym, but I never lock myself into a gym membership until I try out the facility. You never know what the crowd is like, how busy it is when you need to go etc. Dwayne, supposedly the owner answered when I called to ask if I can try the gym for a week. He tells me it's $15 per day or $50 for the week?? Really?? Seems like they're not worried about having dedicated members and just worried about stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. They would have made more letting me try the gym for a week and having me as a member for years since I just moved to ABQ. I'm not a New Years resolution type member. Oh well Defined and Chuze let me try theirs and this one actually seemed better because it's smaller. But I would never get a membership after being told I can pay $15 a day or $50 for the week. Guess the big corporate gyms win again.

Fantastic experience: Best gym and equipment

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in the galaxy. All the latest and greatest equipment. Always clean. The staff is super friendly and I always get an amazing workout at Designer Bodies!

Fantastic experience: Best body building gym in NM!

Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym with the most up to date equipment and world class owner and trainer. My time there was short due to geography but there definitely needs to be 2 of these gyms. I give it 10 stars.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and exceptional cleanliness. Staff is friendly and extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place! The equipment is top notch, stuff you will not find in most gyms. It is impeccably clean and the owner is super cool, highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Best equipment in town and all the staff super respectful and nice.

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to give a shout out to Dwayne, isaiah and simon. They are the absolute best. This gym has hands down the best equipment but what really drives it home is the environment and community, as someone on the spectrum, its extremely hard to find a comfortable place to workout. At most of the other gyms theres an air of underlying hostility and aggression that makes it hard to focus and remain undisturbed but at designer bodies the vibe is totally different. Everyone is kind there, people go out of their way to help and be cordial.most everyone is more than happy to let you work in on a piece of a equipment that they’re using and the staff is super knowledgeable.its also the cleanest gym ive ever seen. The bathrooms are always sparkling and the gym is always spotless. If you’re going anywhere else you’re wasting money. Designer bodies> anywhere else. -zach

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Best kept secret in Albuquerque

Negative experience: No customer service whatsoever, really rude.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Albuquerque! Everything is on point! Never seen the type of equipment they have anywhere else. I give them a 15 out of 5

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! The atmosphere is great. Everyone is very friendly and supportive. The equipment is the best of the best! I would definitely recommend Designer Bodies to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic experience: The gym of my dream!!! Wonderful workout, every type of machine for every part of the body!! Woooowww!!!

Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in you feel like at home (gym family)… You can go to any gym and good luck with them really getting to know you or your name.. not only does this place have state of the art equipment but it’s like the (cheers of gyms) everybody knows your name 90s joke… I dare you to step in and workout…

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Albuquerque. Brand new state of the art equipment, friendly staff, and very clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Best gym in abq. Has the best atmosphere and creates the best results.

Fantastic experience: This gym is fantastic. The owner has always been nice and respectful to everyone. The gym stays clean all the time and they keep their equipment up to date and never had any questionable equipment. If you want to have a great gym to go to without feeling any pressure or judgement from those around, you need to go here.

Fantastic experience: Dwain Kindelberger has coached me for years and has literally changed my life Best of the best! Not only the best in Albuquerque by far. But easily the best I've seen in my 30 years of lifting. Anywhere I've been in the country. The owner Dwain is hands down the most knowable gym owner I've ever met. There's really not anything he can't help you improve on. If you don't check out this gym your doing yourself a disservice.

Fantastic experience: Top notch gym, been going for a year now and it’s awesome. Lots of gym equipment, clean area, and awesome owner. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout with a relaxing no judgment attitude.

Fantastic experience: The gym is very clean, supportive staff and specialized in personal fitness, it’s a step above the typical large gyms that you get lost in the crowd. Definitely a place to visit and join up!

Fantastic experience: In my 75 years, I have gone to quite a few gyms, and Designer Bodies is the best I have experienced. The equipment is top of the line, and the premises are always spotlessly clean. What has impressed me the most has been the friendliness, patience and care of the staff, and especially the trainers, all of whom have extensive understanding of human physiology that enables them to design fitness programs tailored to the particular needs of their clients. People of all ages and fitness levels can find what they need at this gym, including excellent guidance in nutrition. I have been training with Dwain for two months and am experiencing much more energy and enthusiasm through his nutritional guidance and exercise routines. What’s more, I have been much less bothered by arthritic aches and pains. Living in an aging body is actually becoming a positive experience, thanks to this facility and the people who keep it running (and also to the other people who work out there).

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I was always greeted when I came in and always felt at home while I was there. The equipment is up to date and clean. I totally recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Designer Bodies is great! I used their nutrition and personal training services and was impressed. Not only have I seen amazing results but the atmosphere here is so much better than other places. It is much calmer and quieter and never crowded. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I honestly miss this gym. When I lived in NM it was a sanctuary for me. It’s private, clean, and the environment is wholesome and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere and the staff!! It’s a family

Fantastic experience: This review I wrote two years ago….. I still believe it. Go check this place out today! Mind, body, spirit. Improving daily and learning so much about nutrition along with proper lifting. I’ve been working out for almost 30 years. Dwain’s approach completely changed the game Dynamically.

Fantastic experience: Best GYM in Albuquerque. Has no actual competition. Fact.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, awesome customer service! They keep the machines super clean and all the equipment is top notch. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Since I have been a Member at designer bodies, I have had nothing but good experiences. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, The equipment is very up-to-date, and the gym is very clean. Chris at the front desk has always been very helpful. He is always going above and beyond what is expected to be sure you receive quality customer service. Designer bodies an excellent gym and I would definitely recommend signing up!

Fantastic experience: Good if you are looking for a Gold's gym type of place.

Fantastic experience: This has been the best gym experience of my life so far. The Staff is extremely friendly and helpful with all of your needs. The equipment is top of the line and they have everything you need to meet your fitness goals. This gym lives up to its slogan, “World Class Gym with World Class Members.” As long as I’m in ABQ I’ll be at DB!!! Come check this place out!!!!

Positive experience: Have always loved this gym, I've always felt very comfortable and welcomed here. The equipment and the people that come here are great! However the new staff is not very friendly and always on their phones, hopefully they can work on their customer service and greeting skills.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym since 2015. If you want a serious gym that is geared toward the devoted body builder or the exercise enthusiast, this is your gym. It has a good mix of men and women of all shapes and sizes. It is deep rooted in fitness, family and fellowship. Respect your co-members and the equipment and you will feel right at home.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym all the way around. Family oriented. Top notch trainers, equipment, and management. What you get for the price really can’t be beat. Whether your goals are to compete, or just get in better shape, they have everything you need to succeed. Definitely recommend checking them out.

Fantastic experience: The staff was extremely friendly, the equipment was very well maintained and the gym itself was quite clean. The gym was very inclusive, catering to everyone from bodybuilders to general fitness. Overall a great experience.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: We have only been here two weeks and it's by far the best most comfortable gym we have signed up for. The staff is friendly and the people are nice.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly atmosphere. Offers the best equipment every option one needs to accomplish their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Good equipment and staff, I really recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but the best workouts ever since I started working out here. They have all the best equipment

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in Albuquerque This place has the BEST equipment gym available (Hoist Rock-It) and many others. The gym is super clean, bathrooms, equipment, lockers, etc. I am always greeted with a smiling "Hi" from the staff every time. This is the Gym all other gyms wish they could be.

Fantastic experience: Dwayne and his wife, the owners. Have been great helping my wife and I better understand the importance of eating, and providing us with meal plans and also exercise plans that have been amazing. They also explained in detail the importance of stretching and flexibility, which has been a great help with recovery. Thanks to them both for the time and effort they have put into us.

Fantastic experience: Designer Bodies is a fantastic gym. Very clean facility with lots of free weights and a great variety of machines. I really enjoyed working out here.

Fantastic experience: I believe this is the BEST Secret in ABQ for gyms!! Dwain the owner has created a Gym that is like one big family. Besides the staff being friendly and helpful the clients that they attract are people that are serious about training but also very friendly. Another thing I love about this place is the cleanliness and organization that everyone takes PRIDE in!! I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for REAl Change in their health and well being!!

Fantastic experience: The greatest gym for getting back in shape, the members are great people here.

Fantastic experience: Designer Bodies is a great gym. Not only does it have everything you would normally expect from a gym such as a stretching section equipped with foam rollers, free weights, treadmills and squat racks but it also has specific muscle targeted machines that I've never seen at any other gym.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best Gym”s I have ever been too. They have a wide range of equipment. Staff is friendly and feels like I’m amongst family when I’m there. Whenever I’m out of town and visit other gyms I realize how good I really got it at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been to in Albuquerque. Unbelievable equipment, the environment is great. Everyone is helpful and intuitive.

Fantastic experience: No matter if you are young or old, new to fitness or an expert athlete, Designer Bodies is THE gym to help you achieve your fitness goals. The equipment is excellent! They have form correcting equipment, body weight workout equipment as well as free weights. Dwain, Doris and staff have created an atmosphere that is friendly and conducive to continued fitness and complete wellbeing success. They offer a fantastic training program that includes it all, nutrition, exercise, total fitness and overall wellbeing. I have been a member of many different gyms in different cities and states over the years and this gym is hands down the best. Thru their personal training program my wife and I are achieving are fantastic results. Thank you Team DB!

Fantastic experience: It is more than a gym ! It’s more like a family. Everything about this place is amazing . They made my husband and myself feel very comfortable. The equipment is top of the line . I was so worried I would never be able to get healthy . I have fibromyalgia and it has been so very hard to loose weight and exercise but The owners are truly caring people and I am loosing weight and I am feeling great. I needed help with everything . I didn’t know where to start but they did. There is no other place like this in Albuquerque! It truly is amazing . They have helped me with everything . Nutrition ,supplements and exercise. The whole package is the best I’ve ever seen. I can’t say enough about Dwain and Doris. Doris is my trainer and she makes the workouts so fun and for me that is a miracle. I have never wanted to go to a gym lol but I honestly can not wait to go in. My husband and I are very grateful we found this amazing place. Thank you!!!! to the entire staff at Designer Bodies .

Fantastic experience: Dwain is the owner of Desinger Bodies World Class Gym, let me tell you how incredibly inspiring all the trainers are! They are always giving so much! and not asking for much in return. Awesome attitudes, every time I come in everyone has smiles on there face ready to make each day count! Dwain has been my train and has opened my eyes to so much than just “lifting” it’s an art and he has prefected it! Hands down best trainer I’ve ever had, like I said before his knowledge of this physical training is enormous! Coming from training celebrities and other huge roll models, he brought this talent to Albuquerque! You guys have to check it out! If your passionate about physical activity this is the place to come!! Shout out to Dwain and his staff! Amazing job fellas!

Fantastic experience: Definetly the Best Gym in Albuquerque!! The Hoist equipment that this gym uses is the best when it comes to everyone’s fitness needs. I have been training with Dwain and Joe for 2 weeks now and am amazed in the results I have already seen and excited for what is to come in the future. This gym is all about investing back into its members which is amazing to be apart of. Great prices for memberships and training programs for everyone’s fitness goals. Think local and support local!!

Fantastic experience: great gym.. very clean and from the get go can tell that the gym is serious about health and wellness. Customer service is at a high point with everyone knowing each other like a small gym facility should be. Great place to train. Bring your own milk and they can even make shakes for you. Commercial Fridge for members to keep food or drinks. Water is essentially tasty. Equipment very up to date Prices for programs range from low to high and is based off each persons needs and wants.

Fantastic experience: 6/10/18 - Congratulations to Dwain Kindelberger, who, after a 27 year hiatus, returned to the stage, and WON the Masters and Classic Physique contest in Albuquerque this weekend!! A true testament to his knowledge, training and dieting techniques! Care to improve your physical fitness and appearance? Now you know who to turn to! WELL DONE, DWAIN!! Phenomenal fitness facility!! In full disclosure, I've known Dwain since we were teenagers growing up in small town Greensburg, PA. I finally traveled from Pittsburgh to Designer Bodies World Class Gym, and was not disappointed in the least. I've trained at no less than Gold's Gym, Venice; Gold's San Diego; Gold's Las Vegas E. Flamingo Road and Red Rock, Las Vegas Athletic Club, many L.A. Fitness places, dirty hard core gyms, and high priced fitness clubs. The equipment is top notch. To my amazement, I saw and used pieces of equipment I've not seen anywhere else. I never knew such fantastic equipment existed. The gym is clean. The wash room is clean. The change room/shower is clean. He's even got some futuristic scale that measures your weight, BMI, % body fat, weight in muscle and fat, and a host of other data!! This is not just another gym slapped together. No, this place was meticulously and painstakingly designed to provide the best in fitness!! And then there are the motivational, transformation posters that line an entire wall. These are everyday folks, like you and I, that decided to change their lives for the better. (I'm not sure Dwain realized I kept looking at the posters between sets.) I had the best leg workout, shoulder workout and arm workout I've had all summer!! I was like a kid in the candy store with this equipment, and I'm still sore! And on top of all that, I learned new techniques by listening to and watching Dwain. Care to make drastic improvements in your health and physical appearance? Go to Designer Bodies World Class Gym. I feel confident saying this is THE best gym in Albuquerque. And if all that wasn't enough, I even had dinner at El Pinto. I must say "Thank You" to Dwain, his wife Doris, their son Nikko (whom I met when he was about 15, and then dubbed him Mr. Personality due to his outgoing demeanor), and of course Dwain's adorable granddaughter Chloe (who called me Doe!). If this gym were in Pittsburgh, I'd be the first member!!

Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hours are great and I love the Hoist equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for a great price. Started working out here last week and I love it. All the guys working here have been friendly and supportive. Niko has helped me get my form right on a few different exercises already.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Highly recommend to all individuals.

Negative experience: After a consultation with the owner for personal training and nutritional planning, the owner required a full payment for 12 weeks, which came to almost $3,000 per person for both my spouse and I. The services to be provided were a personalized exercise program and nutrition plan, weekly weighins, weekly review of food journals, including a medical condition and fitness assessment, before photos and body measurements and things would be adjusted if needed. The owner has failed to follow industry standards by not creating and maintaining client records such as fitness and medical condition assessments and used in reference to the provision of services to clients. The owner failed to take before and after body measurements and photos of both my spouse and I. The owner failed to provide a personalized exercise routine, and sound nutritional plan for both my spouse and I and also failed to meet regularly as promised. My stability and core training was setup with a trainer after which the owner allowed me to workout with "his athletes". The owner failed to properly train, and instruct us both on use of equipment and lifting techniques because he was not physically present for training. My spouse was to be training for a show however a month in was told he wasn't ready because the owner wanted him to weigh 240 pounds. My spouse and I attempted to go over our nutrition journals and biomedical analysis printouts, however the owner failed to make himself available to sit down and discuss. When I asked for a refund on the owners lack of services, I was told they do not give refunds. It was at that time the owner then decided to discuss any changes to the training and nutrition however never reviewed the journals or printouts. I am one out of others who have been ripped off, and no longer train at Designer Bodies. I recommend that anyone thinking of utilizing their services that you speak to current and past members and clients, as well as contact the Better Business Bureau because their services are not worth it.

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome, what more can I say?

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, great monthly price, amazing equipment, and most importantly, amazing environment!! Spent years between defined and sports and wellness but I've found a new home here at designer bodies!! Staff if always friendly, helpful and never too busy to stop and say hi...never crowded and has good energy! They also have free day passes to new potential members...it's definitely worth checking out! 2 for 1 membership offers going on right now as well.

Negative experience: Worst gym, very rude owners. Save your money and go to a real gym with respectful staff.

Negative experience: This place is overpriced and my experience was a 2 star at best. High pressure to buy product and is about him making money and not the clients. Do you research before you join

Fantastic experience: I came to DB looking to get in better shape and possibly doing a bodybuilding competition. When I arrived I was met by the best gym staff I have ever encountered. Jordan is the best front desk person I have ever met. I opted to start working with Dwain based off of his knowledge of the sport. He has been nothing but helpful. I have learned so much from him in the few months I have been working with him. Even as a seasoned weightlifter I have been learning. I highly encourage everyone to check them out it feels like a family here at DB.
