With Fitness being such a major part of our lifestyle, it's very important that we consume the proper food-not only to maintain a certain physique, but also to provide key nutrients for energy pre-workout, post workout, as well as digestion & healthy immune system. For many, eating healthy is such a chore.
I will personally guarantee youwon't be disappointed! I had the honor of working with Kariim for almost 2 years and he helped take me from an out-of-shape runner and triathlete to an athlete and competitor. While his ability to create effective workouts is obviously an crucial part of his job, he truly put the 'personal' in personal training, helping me overcome nutritional and mental barriers.
It's my 48th BIRTHDAY! I really meant it when I said I feel like 2019 has been a classroom and I've been the student. I NEVER would've thought that my overall mental and spiritual wellness would have roots in my fitness and nutrition. I know it sounds crazy, but for me it's true. I've been a client of @bbkfitness bodybykariim for 4 years.

My trainer Laquisha is AMAZING! I’ve been training with her for over a year and I’m a new person. I was at 205lbs and now I’m at 160lbs. Laquisha is very professional and great to work with. She customizes your workout and provides a holistic approach. The environment is great and it feels like family. If you want to achieve your fitness goals see Laquisha.

I’ve been working out with Kariim since May of this year and cannot recommend him enough. I had recently suffered a herniated disc, and my confidence in my own strength and body was totally shot. Kariim patiently guided and taught me how to move safely, gain strength, and begin to push myself again. The physical and mental transformation I’ve experienced over the last 7 months has been truly life-changing. I feel so much stronger and more energetic. It doesn’t hurt that all the trainers and co-gymgoers are so friendly and encouraging — I’ve NEVER been a morning workout person but I don’t

If you are looking for a trainer who truly cares about helping you reach your goals, Kariim is NOT that person. Bought 20 workout sessions with him, had only completed 9 of them when he charged my CC for the next month of sessions. Kariim never called to ask where i was but was ok with charging me. I feel trainers should have some accountability, thats why you are paid (and its not like he's cheap). He works you out with other people and acts very disinterested. He tells you what exercise to do and you do it while he's either helping someone else or standing around on his phone. For the price he

We all know how intimidating it can be working out at a new studio and or gym. Not here! I have been working out here since January of this year and I love this place. Not only are the trainers great at what they do, but they also care about their clients and customize the workout plans for each individual's needs. I have tried out other trainers in the greater Atlanta area, but didn't really start seeing results until I made the switch to BBK.
Side note- they do a really great job limiting the number of people working out at the same time and sanitize all the equipment before and after each use

I started my fitness journey at BBK during the pandemic. I was lacking motivation and tired of home workouts while public gyms were closed. Kariim was very professional, courteous, and gave me the push in my workouts that I was missing. I would definitely recommend joining!

Kariim and Laquisha have created an incredible environment that,
along with their professional experience and wisdom, produces positive results.
I have enjoyed every single one of my workouts. Kariim has lead me down the path to results I have never experienced: stronger, healthier, and an actual understanding how to achieve fitness goals. He is the real deal. I wish I started working out with him 20 years ago!
I’m forever grateful.

When you've been unemployed and quarantined for 12 months straight weight just sneaks up on you. This waistline didn't stand a chance in 2020.
I signed up with Kariim a few weeks and I can already feel myself getting stronger. Kariim offers training sessions from 1 to 5 days a week at several different times. Right now I only train two days a week at the facility but Kariim has given me a high-intensity interval training plan to do on my off days along with meal ideas.

Kariim is very professional and personable. He really listens and helps you achieve your goals. If you put in the work and apply his diet recommendations, you will achieve results! I really enjoyed the environment in the gym. I never felt self conscious, and even if my form was not perfect I knew I had a professional coach that would ensure I pushed myself while staying safe and practicing good habits in the gym that I can now apply independently with confidence.

Body by Kariim Fitness has been my home gym for 4 years. The first time around I had great results and returned now after having a baby. It is a judgement free zone that challenges each customer's fitness level. It is great to see the team in action. Everyone works so well together and seamlessly. I encourage friends and strangers alike to give Kariim and crew a try. One session and you will be hooked!

Great couple team! Judgement free, catered to your needs gym environment. Challenging and result oriented workouts! No gimmicks, you work for your results. I've always left each workout feeling more and empowered and energized. Highly knowledgable team that will help reach and understand the healthy lifestyle of your fitness goals. They do not shout workout orders, they instruct and correct. They're involved and attentive of your form and capabilities--pushing you more each session.

Kariim and Laquisha are great! I trained with them for about a year before my wedding and am so happy with the results. I'm not naturally athletic, but they always pushed me to do my best, within my limits. I'm stronger and more toned than I was when I started, and have a healthier mindset to continue it on my own. They offer interesting and varied workouts, personalized eating tips, a good facility, and are always flexible with scheduling sessions. The investment is worth it!

BBK Eats (part of Body by Kariim Fitness) came to the rescue for me this week! They offer meal preparation services -- from going to the grocery, to doing the food prep, to bringing right to your door. I have been traveling for work and reached a point where I couldn't take the butter and "other stuff" added to many of the foods you'd eat during a sales meeting. I needed CLEAN, HEALTHY, GREAT TASTING FOOD! So, I reached out to them and when I landed back in Atlanta, they had my food ready! It was soooooo refreshing to eat clean and feel good! Some examples of what they cooked

If you are looking for personal trainers who walk the walk and talk the talk look no further. I trained with them for a yr and and as promised results in 90 days and beyond. They not only show u how to workout but teach you how to eat clean and healthy. Kariim and Laquisha are passionate about changing lives for the better and they care about each person who becomes a client. The workouts are challenging and geared towards your fitness level. They don't try to sell you any supplements, drinks just straight forward workout and eating real food. Try them out you won't regret it

Quisha is amazing. Very sweet but firm. If you're looking for someone who is going to give you results that you can maintain and teach you how to ultimately live a healthier lifestyle she is who you're looking for. I'm so glad i chose her to help me lead my lifestlye change. I've lost 15lbs, gained muscle, and I'm no longer a candidate for blood pressure medication and thats because of her.

I trained for 3 months with LaQuisha of BBK Fitness. During the entire time, I felt inspired, motivated and empowered to push myself harder than I ever thought I could. During each session, she introduced me to new exercises, which kept things interesting. Within just a few weeks, I felt my strength and endurance increase significantly. This helped me gain confidence during my sessions, and even at the gym when I worked out on my own. The more I saw results, the more I was motivated to stick to the regime.

I had a great time training with Quisha and Kariim. They are very knowledgeable and focus not just on physical training but diet as well (which arguably, is just as or even more important than the exercise). For them, fitness is a lifestyle and I was encouraged by that. I worked with Quisha and she's awesome. I liked that she'd switch the workouts out regularly (I get bored easily), but ensure that they were challenging. She was attentive and always pushed me to push more but did so in a calm, supportive manner. She and Kariim are super down to earth so never felt intimidated at all
