First, the little person with the screen name 'ga8625' has posted an incredibly viscious, personal attack against Bryan Lepley in this review section. I can only assume that this ***** (and I assume a woman) has a personal vendetta against Bryan. Maybe he didn't drool over her tush because he has a beautiful wife. Maybe he didn't drool over her BMW (go figger). She apparently has the same level of self-motivation as Bill Clinton going to marrage counseling. Bryan doesn't drool...he sweats, and he motivates me to sweat and work MY tush off, as I train twice a week with him in his spinning classes. Obviously the overall tone of her posting illustrates a destructive rather than constructive ethos on life. OK, so a thin skinned (proof in the towel comment!), viscious little girl whose comments should be regarded as such. As to Body Business (Davenport), I have belonged to probably 10 different gyms in 5 different cities in my life, and this place is by far the cleanest and best maintained gym I have been affiliated with. There are always at least 1 or 2 employees on the floor to answer questions and maintain/clean/replace the equipment. Never an issue with overcrowding at any station on the circuit, or in the free weight section. The equipment is first class and more than adequate to handle the customer flow. I work out in Bryan's Tuesday evening 1 hour and Saturday morning 1.5 hour (horror, non business hours) spinning classes. I am addicted to Bryan's classes. He doesn't jump up & down, HE IS ON A FRIGGIN BIKE! My 20 yr old UT triathelete daughter attends these classes with me and like me finds the music 'great' and motivating, and the classes incredibly challenging. And we agree he doesn't just make you sweat and raise your heartbeat, he is an animated, inspired trainer who paints vivid pictures in his variety of training scenarios. Oh yeah, and ga8625 if you are a 'man' please don't drool over my tush,as you act like a viscious little *****.

Pros: NOT having the Soap channel, great facility. Bryan.

Cons: The spinning bikes REALLY need an upgrade as spinning always draw a full crowd.

This facility is remarkably clean, the staff is “family” and every time I walk out the door I am grateful and full of delight for the positive and very memorable experience I have encountered while there. The owner of the Club, Susan O. Cooper, is on the premises daily enhancing each member’s experience by her pure and absolute passion to deliver the highest quality services. In my opinion, Susan is driven by an absolute drive to positively impact the lives of her members and this drive penetrates throughout the club and is present in all staff. BBD is truly a remarkable Club and Spa!!!! No matter what your fitness goals are or your spa needs, I am certain BBD will meet your every need and surpass your every expectation in doing so. I have been a client at BBD for years. Last year my office moved to downtown and I live in Cedar Park. However, many of the unique and outrageously value oriented services that BBD has to offer motivate and inspire me to commute clear across town on a regular basis for Kinesis, Pilates, yoga, personal training, massage, facials, nutritional counseling and OUTSTANDING fun and effective group exercise classes taught by absolute professionals and nationally recognized well respected instructors. In my opinion, BBD employs two of the very best cycling instructors in town being Michele Granryd, the GM, and Bryan Lepley, the Director of Personal Training. I have sampled most cycle classes in town and find the two above instructors to be ELITE and the VERY best in Austin. Bryan Lepley recently impressed me so with a back to back Saturday cycle class he taught which was my last cycle training session before I departed to France for an International World Championship competition. His cycle classes are so well delivered that an athlete preparing for a world championship competition can ride next to another that may be just embarking on a new fitness regimen and each will receive exactly the workout they need to advance in their goals.

Pros: Best Cycling Classes in town

Cons: Not located near my office or home
