I came to Body Basics after a car accident and subsequent recovery left me very deconditioned. I highly recommend Body Basics! The entire team has helped me make great progress in just a few short weeks. Chris and Amanda did a great evaluation and set-up a good starting program for me. From there Adam has taken lead and I have been very happy with his work with me. He does a great job of teaching, pushing me and focusing on areas I have noted I would like to work on. Kudos to the entire team and especially to Adam!

I highly recommend Body Basics! My orthopedic doctor referred me to Body Basics so they could help me put together an exercise plan to address my hypermobility. I appreciate the two hours that Chris spent to determine the extent of my hypermobility and the knowledge he shared on how important stability is for an older adult. Jake, my personal trainer at Body Basics, was wonderful to work with and I learned so much from him, especially self-awareness on what muscles should be engaged for various exercises and how to breathe properly to engage and strengthen my core. After training at Body Basics, I now have an exercise plan I can execute in the gym to build strength and stability. I am so grateful to the whole team at Body Basics!

As a person with a history of serious orthopedic injury, it was of the utmost importance that I find a trainer with a thorough understanding of body mechanics. The trainers at Body Basics are highly skilled. Further, they care deeply about their clients and are invested in their progress. When Body Basics had to close its physical doors, due to the pandemic, Chris transitioned to a virtual training platform that works so well, it is easy to forget what an enormous challenge he faced. I have been doing virtual group classes recently with Kristian and Xavier. They watch their trainees closely, offering individual advice on form and modification, and each brings his own brand of fun to the sessions. Thanks to the stellar instruction I have received at Body Basics, I have achieved greater strength and structural stability than I thought was possible.

I have been with BodyBasics for a year now, both working with a personal trainer and attending workout classes. My experience has been fantastic. I'm 69 years old and had been losing mobility for the previous five years due to arthritis and my aging spine. This was especially difficult since I had been an avid backpacker and hiker. Multiple referrals to Physical Therapy helped but always failed a few months after ending treatment.
Through the knowledgeable and gentle guidance of my trainer Amanda at BodyBasics I am very pleased to say that I am now feeling great and hiking again! (6 miles and 900 foot elevation hike at Zion last week for example!) I worked one-on-one with Amanda at first, and she helped me strengthen muscles and taught me to avoid movements which were damaging. Over time I morphed from twice a week one-on-one to twice a week classes that I continue today. I highly recommend BodyBasics!

I've been a client at Body Basics for several years. The trainers design workouts that are fun and challenging. The focus is to keep their clients fit, functional and motivated. They do a great job! They work with every fitness level and make sure that each client is given what they need. No matter the fitness level they are able to help. They do a spectacular job at educating their clients so that fitness can be a goal for the long haul. I highly recommend it!

Body Basics provides the best personal training I've ever had - and I've tried a number of trainers. Chris Litten, the owner, has established an atmosphere that is professional, comfortable, and fun. He knows all of the clients by name and what they're working toward. All of the trainers at Body Basics are excellent - their knowledge about training and the human body is exceptional.

Individual workouts are customized to meet your goals. I also like the small group training. Once I strained a muscle and called Chris to say I couldn't come to group. He encouraged me to come anyway and they would substitute some of the exercises just for me so I wouldn't get hurt and I didn't have to miss my exercise. This worked out very well.

Through training at Body Basics I am stronger, more flexible, and my balance has improved. Highly recommended.

I have been working out with Body Basics well over a year now. All the trainers here are great. Chris, the owner, is very involved in his business and makes it a point to make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. I personally love the group classes because you can work out in a small group and have a trainer making sure you are doing everything correctly and keeping you motivated. Would highly recommend Body Basics to anyone looking to get in shape and live a healthier lifestyle.

I can’t say enough about BodyBasics! Chris and his staff are top notch. I am constantly amazed at the professionalism, knowledge and creativity that goes into each session to help me feel my best . I love to be super active but I have scoliosis so my curved back does not function like most backs . I walk away from each session feeling strong, balanced and pain free. What I learn from each session helps me in all my activities throughout the day !
