Janine Howard1264 days agoI first visited Brain and Body Method in April of 2023. I was immediately struck by it's cleanliness & modern appeal. I've been working out on and off for my entire adult life & I was blown away by the state of the Art technology of the equipment. The owner Mark walked me through a workout, starting with brain/body combo exercises. The AI technology combined with advanced equipment leaves the body thinking it worked out for triple the time & triple the impact and only takes a few minutes. Brain and Body brings Olympic level training to the average Joe and Jane. I can't wait to return for my next session!Posted on Google
Bonnie Bailey1235 days agoThe first day I walked inside The Brain and Body Method studio I was not sure what to expect. The whole concept seemed a bit foreign to me and I was deeply intrigued. It surpassed all of my expectations! The equipment is incredible, it invigorates your senses and Inspires with each challenge. I love how knowledgeable Mark is and his sessions take you on a journey of meditative contemplation to pure energy! I highly recommend to everyone, my body feels great and I look forward to each session.Posted on Google
Cathy Lawrence1113 days agoI can't say enough about this amazing place. The owners and staff are fantastic- knowledgeable, kind, smart, and fun to work with. The equipment is state of the art, and perfectly designed to help one discern how hard to push so that fitness is maximized without risk of injury. The space itself is a gem. The free trial has no strings attached. I would (and do) heartily recommend Brain and Body to everyone I care about.Posted on Google
Sarah Mannion1101 days agoI joined Brain and Body Method 4 months ago, and not only have I started to achieve the goals I set myself with Mark and the team, but I’ve throughly enjoyed the process too. Brain and Body Method is totally different from any workout I’ve done before. I feel like I’ve learned more about my body and what’s good for it in this short time than I have in many years prior trying out different classes and different workouts. Everything is tracked, considered and personalized to your goals and wants, mixing cognitive, cardio and strength. The equipment is world class, and varied enough that you don’t get bored and can build on previous workouts and track your progress. I feel physically stronger than I did when I started, and it’s made me really consider my lifestyle in general. It’s not a fad and it’s not a magic bullet, but it does feel like a philosophy, like you’re buying into a mindset as much as a workout plan. Finally, can’t finish this review without doing a big shout out for Mark and his team. No matter who I train with - I feel like I have their attention and care for the full session. They know how to motivate me, and that’s key. I have never woken up and thought ‘I don’t want to train today’. I always look forward to it. They treat all their members like athletes and I love that discipline! If it’s not clear already, I would throughly recommend Brain and Body Method.Posted on Google
Mara Weinstein958 days ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Brain and Body Method in Montclair, NJ enough! Mark and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals while also enhancing your cognitive abilities. The combination of physical workouts and brain exercises - all accomplished in 30 minutes - makes me feel stronger, sharper, and more confident. The facility is top-notch, and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. If you're looking to level up both your body and mind, in a super efficient way, this is the place to be!Posted on Google
Melissa Wagshul958 days agoEveryone needs to try Brain and Body! I am a mother of two young children and a busy working mom who only used to work out in the house since my first was born. I decided to try Brain and Body out as I need to regain core strength after a c-section. The benefits begin immediately as you gain muscle strength from working on their smart equipment which helps you track your progress. After about six months, I feel much stronger, have more energy and have noticed a change in my body that never happened from just doing cardio exercise in the past. The sessions are quick, 30 mins max, which makes its easy to fit into a busy schedule and serves as a nice way to break up the day. You always have a personal trainer dedicated to your work out to coach you along. They have various types of work out from strength, coordination, core, cognitive fitness, cardio and recovery! Recovery are the best as your muscles go into a state of pure relaxation. If you are feeling like you are stuck in the same workout for too long, you should definitely give this place a try. I promise you will thank me!Posted on Google
Heather Jeney956 days agoI am someone who does not like to work out but somehow am enjoying this method. It’s quick and efficient and the trainers are lovely. Scheduling, even a change, has always been a breeze. After a few weeks I definitely feel stronger. Highly recommend!Posted on Google
Jillian Tarlowe953 days agoTwo words come to mind when describing Brain & Body: efficient and effective. Truth be told I was initially skeptical of their process. I already had a workout and recovery regime in the little free time that I have as a mom of a preschooler with a demanding full time job in finance. I didn’t think adding 20 minutes 2 times a week would make much of a difference as someone who used to train 1-2 hours a day in the gym before having a child. I was also nervous to try something new after sustaining multiple injuries postpartum, but I decided to give it a shot with their generous trial period. And that’s when I realized how great their services truly are and have been hooked since. I finally found a place where I could get 1 on 1 strength coaching with intelligent systems that adjusted to my body’s natural ability in just 20 minutes, along with recovery services when I need it. All the trainers at Brain & Body are pleasant, personable, and know when to push and pull back, taking into account not just your physical strength but where your headspace is at. I didn’t think it was possible to max out in only a few minutes time on several of their sophisticated machines, getting the most out of the short time spent there. I also haven’t felt this strong after avoiding most upper body workouts due to a wrist injury, but the team found ways to circumvent my issues in an effective way. I’m feeling more confident in my own skin and have seen results as measured by their InBody system that’s also available for use, and couldn’t be happier with their services. As someone who has very little free time, Brain & Body is worth adding into my hectic schedule. The team is also extremely understanding of unforeseen schedule changes (read: school closings on snow days, sickness, etc), and has always found a way to accommodate me. Highly recommend coming here. It’s a hidden gem in the heart of Upper Montclair that you won’t regret being a part of.Posted on Google
Ayelet Nelson952 days agoAs a mom of a three and five-year old I didn't think I would ever find a consistent way to exercise. As soon as I began training at Brain and Body Method, I knew this was something different. Using the latest equipment and research, they have found a way to combine efficiency and thoroughness in a tailored approach. I've never been an exerciser, but I look forward to my sessions each week. And it's working! In just a few short months, I'm making major progress and can see my body changing. I'm so happy I took the gamble with their generous trial and have kept on going!Posted on Google
Alyssa Lees944 days agoMark and team are incredible and very accommodating of the inflexible schedule of a busy working mom. The 20 minute workouts are optimized for results and short enough that they can be slipped in easily during the week. the recovery + training regimes are tailored to each individual with visible and immediate results.Posted on Google
Carol Rotman944 days agoAs a runner, I know how important strength training is for injury prevention and to improve my running. The problem was finding a program that’s not boring and that I could stick to. Training at Brain and Body is definitely not boring! They are always finding new fun ways to challenge me and I have fun while I’m there. It’s easy to stick to the schedule because it doesn’t take up a lot of time. I’m grateful that I found them and I’m reaping the benefits of the training. Thank you Mark and the Brain and Body family!!Posted on Google
Linda Sterling944 days agoBrain and Body is amazing, and has increased my strength and balance dramatically. As a cyclist, I can see the difference working out with Lex twice a week has made, as I've started the season stronger than I've ever been. All of the trainers at Brain and Body are fantastic: encouraging, supportive, fun and creative. I can always squeeze in a 1/2 hour twice a week, so there's no reason to miss a workout. The machines really help me track my progress, but I can truly see a difference in my tennis game, cycling, and just overall well being.Posted on Google
Megan Barstow943 days agoBrain & Body Method is an efficient and effective workout that is tailored to each individual. The trainers are all very knowledgable, friendly and supportive and the environment could not be more welcoming. As a mom who is working full time and juggling many conflicting priorities, I appreciate the flexibility with scheduling and ability to get a quick and effective workout in 30 minutes or less.Posted on Google
Kate McDonough859 days agoWhat a great find Brain & Body Method was! After several months of one on one 30 minute training sessions twice a week, I definitely feel stronger and have more balance and agility. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and positive in their approach. I highly recommend them!Posted on Google
Payal Dalal768 days agoHighly recommend Brain and Body Method. I've been going since the spring and definitely notice myself getting stronger through strength training. The trainers are really great and tailor the workouts to your specific needs and goals. The equipment they have racks my progress so I can see the improvements from week to week. Sessions can be scheduled at times that are convenient for me and having a personal trainer each time has been a huge help. I strongly recommend this place!Posted on Google
Lori Harris766 days agoI really appreciate their approach to exercise/wellness. The sessions are fairly brief (but really efficient), so it’s easy to fit it into a busy schedule. They are good at motivating and monitoring form, progress, etc. You have the attention of a personal trainer throughout the session. At age 61, I’m focusing on strength and mobility, stamina. Even though I hadn’t worked out in a few years, and I have ongoing challenges with vertigo, I have been able to make progress. They are very adaptable and respect YOUR goals and your abilities. This is not a place where people yell or shame. The vibe is positive and friendly. Clients are of all ages and levels of fitness. I’m very glad to have found them, and to my surprise, I’ve been very consistent. If you’re on the fence, just try an intro session!Posted on Google
Amy South752 days agoThe team is knowledgeable, focused and friendly. They help you get a great, efficient workout. I love the one:one format and the machines help maximize your workout. My strength and agility are steadily improving. I highly recommend!Posted on Google
Christina Paolucci700 days agoI heard about the Brain and Body Method through someone I admire and trust. I knew this person wouldn’t steer me wrong. I was looking for something definite to help me meet a fitness challenge and goal I had set for myself. I am 3 months in and I am meeting this particular goal. Plus, I am discovering other health benefits from this training process that I never considered when I committed myself. I do not live locally, and I have a short window of time to work out. That was the first part of this process for me. Could Brain and Body accommodate my schedule? Yes, they did. I was very specific with the day and time, and I got it. I am greeted first thing in the morning after my commute with a smile, excitement, and a physical and mental check-in from my trainer. Then, in just thirty minutes, I leave sweaty and invigorated, and ready to take on my day, which is usually physically and emotionally draining, The session begins with a deep warm-up, and then my trainer personally takes me through the process on state-of-the-art equipment. There is consistency in the challenges, but my trainer changes it up and builds on my progress. It is far from boring! My endurance has strengthened, and my coordination, breathing, and mind-body connection are developing. My mind used to wander. I would be panicking about how many emails I would have when I got out. I would be going through my to-do list while warming up or on the bike. Now, I can stay present and focus on the skills I am building. This is because my trainer stays with me, coaches me through the directives, plays great music, and is proud of me and my progress. My trainer takes time to educate me on what my body is being asked to do and what the equipment is doing for me and even chats with me about nutrition and how to introduce self-care throughout the day so my instrument continues to benefit from the training practice during the day and the days in between our sessions. At the end of the workout, I stretch, hydrate, and leave in the fresh air pumped and primed! In 30 minutes!!! I realized when I started at Brain and Body that I hadn’t changed my workouts in over eight years. I am in my 50s and have a career that requires me to be on my feet and very physical. For 30 years, I had been caring for others and not myself. This practice was going to be a huge challenge because of the logistics and the mental breakthrough I was looking for. So, not only am I getting better because of the core strengthening, cardio, and recovery, but I am sleeping deeper, waking up with no aches and pains, processing my food better, drinking more water, and staying alert longer. The best part is my confidence in myself and my ability to be effective in my career has grown tremendously in such a short time. I knew I could do it, but I had to find the right program. The Brain and Body Method is a positive environment in which the concepts are researched and provided by highly educated and personable people who care deeply about their clients. The studio is spotless. Equipment is always clean; all clients are treated with respect and the place is intimate in the sense that when a few clients are working out at the same time, I don’t even notice them because the trainers are focused on their client and we are all in “the zone”. This is 100% the best decision I have made for myself in a long time. Sometimes, making a small change will bring big results, and with the Brain and Body Method, you might find yourself exceeding your own expectations both mentally and physically. I am now ready to up my game and create a new fitness goal, and The Brain and Body Method will do it for me.Posted on Google
Annabel640 days agoB&BM has been an excellent personal training experience for me over the last 9+ months. I started when I was newly postpartum, when I was short on time but eager to start moving and strengthening my body, in a safe and careful way. I was drawn to B&BM's personal attention and unique equipment + approach to building strength, and I immediately noticed myself getting stronger. 9 months later, I am still challenged each time I go and am continuing to build strength. As a busy working parent, I also really appreciate how efficient the sessions are (<30mins). Highly recommend giving B&BM a try/trial if you are considering, no matter where you are in your fitness journey - it is a great way to push yourself and you will no doubt find the exercises challenging and interesting, and the training team is lovely too!Posted on Google
Gabriela Bambrick615 days agoI have been going to Brain and Body for about 8 months and it has been TRANSFORMATIONAL. I, like many people, have a very demanding (both emotionally and physically) full time job , a family and travel to see my aging parents. All this to say that I have no regular schedule or life. I came to BB because I needed more weight training for my bone health. What I found at BB was not only an incredibly welcoming community, but also a group of people that have helped me with my strength, thinking speed, my tennis game (I was a college tennis player) and outlook in life. I no longer feel like I "just have to get through this week". I am physically and mentally stronger and healthier than ever. ( I know this sounds like I am a bot or paid to say this) but it is 100% true! The time investment is small compared to the gains and everything I have received. I encourage you to reach out to me if you have any doubts or questions but I challenge you to go and do a trial period. You will not regret it.Posted on Google
Jayne Mizraji613 days agoBrain and Body Method is the future of strength and wellness. With it’s state of the art machines combined with time efficient workouts in friendly caring atmosphere it’s an all around safe very effective way to build and maintain strong healthy muscles and bones I highly recommend!!!!!!Posted on Google
Dana Klinghoffer610 days agoI have been going to Brain and Body twice a week for the past four months. I’m happy to say that I am much stronger (and healthier) now. I’m in and out in 30 minutes - which is crucial for my schedule. I love how efficient I can workout there, accomplishing much more there in a half hour than I do on my own with more time. And I can load up with heavier weights more safely, guided by personal trainers. I’ve become more educated recently on the importance of strength training and bone health for women, especially. I’m happy to say that I’ve already made major improvements, proven by my latest dexascan as well as other trackers. The owners are also wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to their clients. I’m a big fan and recommend Brian and Body to anyone who wants to make a positive change in their fitness and bone health and/or someone who doesn’t have much time to fit in exercise.Posted on Google
Rachel R598 days agoI absolutely love the Brain & Body Method! As a full-time working mom of two young kids, finding time to exercise has always been a challenge. But after six months here, I can confidently say (for the first time in my life!) that I am now a regular exerciser and will be able to keep this up. The twice-weekly, 30-minute sessions fit seamlessly into my schedule, making it realistic and sustainable. The workouts are super effective without leaving me exhausted or drenched in sweat, so I can easily fit them in before work or anytime. One of the best parts is that I’m always guided by a personal trainer. The trainers are all fantastic—supportive, knowledgeable, and motivating. Having a scheduled appointment with these amazing coaches makes it easy to stay committed, even when life gets hectic. Plus, the gym’s innovative exercise equipment tracks my progress, so I can actually see my improvements over time. I feel so healthy and strong, and I’m making incredible progress! My arms have never looked better, and unlike other programs, I’m not constantly sore. If you’re looking for a gym that fits into a busy lifestyle while delivering real, lasting results, I can’t recommend Brain & Body Method Gym enough!Posted on Google
