Testimonials
For most of my childhood and all of my adult life I like so many Americans was overweight. It wasn’t until I found the strength and courage within myself that I took the first step necessary to change my life.
By working hard and applying the fundamental principals developed by the members of the Bodyworks team I was able to become the person I always dreamed of being.
I was so fortunate to find a health and fitness system that worked for me, that I decided to join the Bodyworks team myself in hopes of sharing my story to the millions of my fellow Americans who are still struggling to find the solution to all their health and wellness problems.

When I was introduced Bodyworks Fitness Consulting and Matthew McNeil, I was ecstatic to have a personal trainer to teach me the correct ways to exercise to benefit my body. Well, Matthew is more than just an exercise guru. His knowledge and expertise on the body, how it works, importance of mediation and education with nutrition is phenomenal!
BodyWorks helped me improve my overall health, strength, endurance, muscle tone and most importantly my level of self-confidence. My focus and determination to be a healthier better person is all due to the dedication of Matthew working out and educating our team every week. I am forever grateful to Matthew and BodyWorks Fitness Consulting!
Matthew is an incredible motivator, teacher and coach. His professionalism is impeccable and I would highly recommend him to anyone that was looking for a personal trainer who goes the extra mile to satisfy his clients.

Ever try fixing something you knew nothing about but went ahead and tried it anyway because it seemed like something you could probably figure out only to find out that the job was too big and too complicated and so you ended up quitting? This is how I’ve approached my weight problem for the last 20 years. Armed with fad diets and exercise gadgets purchased from infomercials, I’ve started and lost a few pounds then stopped and gained it all back and put on even more. I had just turned 46 and weighed 250 pounds at 5’9’’. I could no longer ignore the fact that I was obese (see “before” picture) so I decided to do some research on how the human body processes fat. I also started working with BodyWorks DC.
The folks at Bodyworks DC took the time to explain the science and logic behind proper nutrition in terms that I could relate to. They taught me that to get to my desired goals, I needed to understand the following: 70% of it is what you eat and when. The rest is smart exercise, ample rest for recovery and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. The last two are critical.
With their on line resources to educate me and their consistent one-on-one monitoring, I stopped dieting and instead, I made a permanent lifestyle change in how I looked at food. With their help, I also designed an exercise routine that works on my personal body strengths and weaknesses.
Today I weigh 185 lbs for the first time in 20 years! I have the energy of a 26 year old, as well as a focused mind and enthusiasm for life. I turn 47 next month. My goal is to have safely lost 70 pounds by then. With just 5 more pounds to go, I no longer feel like I’m trying to fix something that I know nothing about. I have a strong base of knowledge about how my body works and how to identify the best foods to eat without sacrificing taste whatsoever.
Thank you BodyWorks DC for helping me take ownership of my health. No one else will that’s for sure.

I am the Founder and Medical Director of Atlanta Lifestyle Medicine. This past year I had the pleasure of working with BodyWorks Fitness Consulting LLC. They were an essential part of our Healthy Lifestyle Intervention sessions. The BodyWorks staff did an excellent job of conducting fitness assessments and assisting with exercise prescriptions for my clinic. They were our fitness experts, but much more important than their technical expertise, they were a source of inspiration and motivation to my patients and clinic staff. They were always punctual and always worked with a high level of professionalism and integrity.
BodyWorks will remain an integral part of the work we do to improve the health of our patients and we plan to include them in the future expansion of our services. I highly recommend BodyWorks Fitness Consulting LLC with no reservations to anyone in need of a high quality fitness consulting service.

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for helping me to help myself. Your style of training is incredible and you have truly drawn my attention to the importance of having exercise as a part of my daily schedule.
Because of the daily workout and diet change, I was told by my primary care physician that after 2 years of taking cholesterol medicine, I no longer have to do so. That is a lifestyle change and wonderful accomplishment to say the least! In addition to that, I have annually saved myself $100.00 in co-pay visits to the doctor and $40.00 in prescription fees. The cost saved in medical visits for my company is well over $700.00 and the cost savings for prescription coverage was $671.97.
Again, thanks for all you have helped me to accomplish!

I have been a client of Bodyworks Fitness Consulting for about six months, and I’ve noticed a significant difference in my energy and overall fitness level. After starting my job as a healthcare attorney and spending most my hours sitting at a desk, I started noticing that I wasn’t in the same shape I had been as a student. My work with this company has not just gotten me back to my “pre attorney” shape, but the workouts are unlike anything Ive done before. Tommy Lampley has structured a creative program for me, and while I never know exactly what to expect in any give workout, we’ve also set benchmarks so I can monitor my progress and see the improvements every six weeks. Getting to watch my improvement in cardiovascular and strength “tests” actually motivate me to start my day with a workout – an event I previously wrote off as impossible. Tommy has identified my stronger and weaker fitness areas, an the workouts ate catered precisely with my fitness goals in mind. I have been extremely satisfied with this company, and give my highest recommendation.

I started my journey with my BodyWorks trainer as I was preparing for my wedding. My work schedule was really hectic at the time, and I didn’t have much time to dedicate to working out. My trainer developed a routine that maximized the time we did have. Special emphasize was also put on eating to attain the fitness goals I wanted to achieve. I looked awesome at my wedding! Now I’m about to deliver my first child… and BodyWorks has been with me for every step of that journey as well.

Enthusiasm, knowledge, and drive= Tommy/BodyWorks. I am in the best shape of my life and I look 
and feel great. He is so knowledgeable about fitness and healthy living, which I needed in order to obtain my fitness goals (of course I did and some). After working with him for over a year, he continues to push me to take my body to the next level. I have recommend two of my friends to BodyWorks and they have also seen positive results!! If you want lasting results, a new outlook on fitness/nutrition, and long lasting results then BodyWorks is the way to go!

The nutrition and fitness program developed for me by BodyWorks Fitness Consulting is the first program with which I have achieved long-term success. Unlike past efforts, BodyWorks worked to help me achieve results and make healthier decisions within my lifestyle, rather than suggesting changes and activities that simply would and could not have been successful with a hectic work schedule. And as a result of the motivational techniques and complete lifestyle program, daily health and fitness is an achievable goal. Thanks to BodyWorks Fitness Consulting, I am smaller, stronger and in the best shape I have ever been in.

Tommy Lampley of BodyWorks has changed my life! As a 43 year old mother who had never exercised consistently in my entire life, Tommy had his work cut out for him! I had been putting off exercising or paying attention to my nutrition year after year when I heard from a friend about this fantastic trainer with whom she had been working. She said he was energetic, unfailingly positive, and very intelligent, which I thought was an odd thing to mention about a fitness consultant. But now I understand that as a graduate student at Georgetown University working on a Master’s degree in bio-chemistry, Tommy is able to explain the science behind what he asks you to do while dismissing all your fitness and nutrition myths with scientific facts. His patience, encouragement, and wonderful attitude get me through each workout session. And while I initially resisted the food journal he has me keep, the accountability that comes with filling it out and sending it to him every night has really put my nutrition on the right track. We have met three times a week for the past six months, and the exercise that I used to dread I now look forward to with enthusiasm. I’m seeing muscle tone I never thought I could attain and my energy level is incredible. I cannot say enough about how thankful I am to Tommy for what he has enabled me to do. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone looking to improve their health!

It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of support for BodyWorks Fitness Consulting. I am a living example of the successful approach this company has on educating, coaching and motivating its consumers to begin to live a healthy lifestyle.
I am a woman in my late forties who has struggled with weight my entire life as a result of this I have developed hypertension to which I take daily medication. I have tried every diet created losing hundreds of pounds only to gain the weight back. Additionally, I have hired several physical trainers to assist me with my fitness goals which lasted for a period of time.
What I find most impressive about BodyWorks is their approach to assisting you in committing to a healthy lifestyle. They are clear that their approach is not a diet or a short term fix to lose weight but instead a system to implement wellness strategies into your life to prevent /address long term chronic illnesses such as hypertension or diabetes.
This is the first time I am working with an expert who is both knowledgeable about nutrition as well as physical fitness. The approach the consultant takes it completely individualized to my needs. Understanding the science behind the processes your body uses regarding eating and working out is most helpful and actually having fun at the same time is a bonus!
I know several others who are BodyWorks faithful consumers. In talking with them, they have shared that their consultant like mine educates and coaches them in a very individualized and customized fashion. Individuals learn in different ways and these consultants are attuned to what works best for you.
I have developed a different way of eating which was achievable based on the support and knowledge of my consultant. I am getting stronger each session. I am proud of my efforts both for listening to my consultant and learning to instinctively make healthier choices. Ultimately, I most proud that this experience makes me a better family member and employee.
Start this amazing, life changing journey with BodyWorks Fitness Consulting today. It may just be the best decision you ever make.

Keeping my weight down had always been easy. I could always eat what I wanted and worked out very seldom. One day, that all changed. Not having any real knowledge of nutrition or what to do to stay in shape, I gained weight in some unwanted places. I had the motivation to lose the weight, but needed guidance. Fortunately, I found BodyWorks Fitness Consulting. I signed up for WellFIT Rx and it totally made a difference. My plan was easy to follow and my coach provided me with the support to keep it going. The thing I like most is that I was able to modify my lifestyle to get to my goals, but (in moderation of course) still enjoy some of the sweets I used to love! (My coach just makes me do extra cardio!)
