Ford surpassed all my expectations. 50 years old, 5ft tall and within 8lbs of my goal weight, I was at a plateau. I needed help getting over the finish line. I signed up for 12 wks with Ford and he designed a program for me that would help tone and sculpt my mid-section. I got way more than that. My arms are more defined and my abs have definition for the first time ever. Ford is smart, knowledgeable, and communicative. A true professional - never wasted my time, and helped my understand calories and macros. This was exactly what I needed after years of training and dieting on my own. THANK YOU FORD!

Training with Ford has been awesome! Hes attentive to what my individuals goals of training are and has ensured I have made substantial progress in those goals. He always pushes me to my limits to ensure I get the most out of my workouts. Ford is very positive and has kept me motivated throughout each workout. In just a few short months, I am noticing lots of changes to my body and I have him to thank for that.

This is the place to go if you’re looking for an engaged, energetic trainer who won’t rest until you achieve your goals! Ford is able to keep me motivated on days I’m not feeling my greatest by maintaining an atmosphere that can be both one of accountability and fun. He’s serious about fitness and knows how to get the best out of his clients. We’ve all got busy lives and his willingness to be super flexible when conflicts pop up is incredibly helpful. Ford makes your individual goals his personal responsibility and it’s reflected in the consistent level of effort he puts in every session. I can’t recommend him enough for folks who want to improve their fitness or just get a better understanding of the gym in an environment that isn’t judgmental.

The 9 months I worked with Ford were some of the most transformative of my life. He never let me put forth anything but my best, supported me by crafting workouts specifically designed for my body, and made me laugh so much that I actually enjoyed working out for once! Ford was super communicative and was reasonably flexible when I needed to adjust my training schedule. After working with Ford, I am stronger than Ive ever been, and more confident in my abilities in the gym.

Ford will work you hard but you will get what you want. He’ll make it challenging but fun at the same time.I did group training everywhere in the city but it didn’t get results. You need someone to make a plan for you and hold you accountable. Ford and his team will do that.If you tired of wasting time and money go see Ford and get right. I’m strong, fit, and got my body right in 6 months.

Ford has been working with me for over a year. I’ve seen marked improvements in my overall health. He tailors each session for me and keeps pushing my personal limits. Plus, he’s just a great dude. If you’re looking to embark on a wellness journey, whatever your goals, BXF is the place.

My wife got me a Peloton for quarantine and I never used it. I sold it on Craigslist and got some classes with Ford instead. I didn’t care about losing weight, I just want to be strong enough to win a bar fight! Ford was able to work with me to meet my personal fitness goals! Now I’m ready to go back to the bar (as soon as we reach heard immunity)! I’m in the best shape of my life and I don’t have that bulky bike taking up space in my bedroom. Ford is great and I love that I have someone to talk about the Saints game with (my wife doesn’t watch football). 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Ford is by far the best trainer in the New Orleans area. His knowledge of fitness/health makes it impossible to fail. He truly cares about you and your progress. You will leave each session feeling accomplished and prepared to make progress outside of the gym. He sets you up to make long-term and sustainable habits that will help you reach your goals. I cannot recommend BXF enough.

Training with Ford has been a true pleasure. He’s professional and conscientious. He meets you where you are and helps you set good goals. His service is also super personalized. I’ve made big strides that I can trace back to the day I first walked into his gym. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

I love training with Ford! I have been working with him for over a year now and each workout is super fun and different. He continues to challenge me, and for the first time in my life I see results from my workouts. He is reliable and consistent and creates accountability for me, which I need. Highly recommend!

Im a 26 year old female who teaches in New Orleans. Despite my busy schedule Ford was flexible with me and worked to provide opportunities so I could work out, whether that meant opening up shop before school to get an early bird workout in, or splitting an hour-long training into two 30-minute sessions after school so I could get the most out of my workout.His club is clean, well kept and includes a wide variety of training equipment. The club was close to my work, parking was easy, and since its on the smaller-size you always feel like you have the gym to yourself.Ford helped me to produce results I never thought I could. Not only did he put the work in to create a program that targets the specific parts of my body I wanted to work on, I felt stronger and healthier than I ever had before. His enthusiasm and passion for what he does makes you want to show up, and the music he plays is tailored to what gets you motivated. I have only the highest praise for Body by Ford, and hope others get to benefit from the experience as well!

My experience with Ford has been awesome. Coming from a military background I have worked out, but the gym was a new type of workout for me.I needed direction in the goals I wanted to accomplish physically but just didn’t know how to do that. Ford has definitely gotten me towards my goals and constantly adding to the list every time we have a session as well as continuing to get better with previous goals. Sessions are amazing with great energy, I love the get at it, and go for it attitude he always has during the sessions. The gym has a great atmosphere as well.And whenever I have a question about anything regarding my eating or workout he’s always giving advice and information. I have been working out with Ford for some months and have experienced great strength and added muscle in both my upper and lower body. He’s going to push you to the point where you hate him during the workout but after the workout and you see the results the push is totally appreciated.

Bottom line.... I have seen more change in my physical appearance with Ford than any trainer thus far. He pushes you to achieve your goal but also understands when you need to adjust the routine and scale back. He has a direct and energetic approach to his sessions but also makes you feel empowered at every opportunity. You want results? check out Body XFord.

Thanks to Covid-19 and working from home for months, I came to Ford out of shape, down about my health, and feeling lethargic and pathetic...three months later and Im absolutely in the best shape of my life.Im stronger, leaner, and fitter than I was 20 years ago. I dont dread working out anymore, and my wife appreciates the changes in my body and my newfound commitment to my health.If youre tired of feeling down and out, go to BXF. Ford will change your body and life for the better in no time.

Need to lose weight and get toned?? This is the trainer for you!Ford helped me lose over 35 lbs. in less than six months while working out 4 times a week. I was literally speechless watching my body change.Ford showed me that my diet was a mess, helped me to clean up my nutrition, and even helped me track my food on a daily basis. I didn’t know how to eat before meeting Ford. I’m strong, toned, and sexy now. :)Stop playing and go get your body right at BXF!!!

Ford changed my body, my lifestyle, and how I think of exercise and health. I’ve lost 25 pounds and counting in only a few months of training at BXF. I look and feel better than I ever have. Every session is thoughtfully planned, purposeful, and tracked to ensure progress.Small, quiet training studio with new equipment. Cleanest gym in the city. Free towel service and parking.

If you want to change your body for the better -- once and for all -- go see Ford at Body By Ford.I went from being 25 lbs. bigger than Ive ever been, to having visible abs in 6 months. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY.I see Ford 4 times a week for thirty minutes, and do what he says when it comes to nutrition. If you do what he says, you will get results. Period. Thats really all there is to it.I wish I could give more than 5 stars for what Ford has done to my body and my self-confidence. THANKS, BXF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review №25

After trying half of the workout classes and trainers in New Orleans a try (with few long-term body changes to speak of), I decided to give Ford a try -- mainly because of the proximity to my home and office and after reading some positive reviews.Within a few minutes of the fitness consultation starting, I could tell this would be different than many of my previous training experiences. Ford asked questions about MY goals, MY body, MY workout history, and what I needed to feel supported. He then made a plan that was customized to my goals and what we discussed. And guess what...it worked.Bottom line -- the results speak for themselves. Stronger, more toned, and firmer than Ive ever been in my life. Each workout was customized for my body goals, and Ford tracked each workout to ensure that I was making progress. Ive never had a trainer or workout class be that in-touch and INVESTED in my progress.Stop wasting your money. If you want to stop messing around and get results once and for all, go to Body By Ford.

Ford tailors workouts to peoples goals and creating the right plan to get them there. In just two months, I have already lost 15 pounds and cut my body fat in half. At 40+ I am building strength that I never had in my 30s. He really knows how to push and encourage because he truly believes in his clients.

Ford has changed the way I workout and think about working out.Before I found Ford I had struggled to lose the same 15-20 pounds over most of my adult life. I was constantly dieting and trying different workouts, but nothing worked — and I certainly didn’t enjoy the process.After talking to Ford, he was able to make a workout and nutrition plan that worked for me and my lifestyle. I started working out more, eating healthier, and I got in the best shape of my life. I lost the weight I wanted, all while getting stronger than I ever have been.More importantly, I feel happier and healthier than I ever have, and I can truthfully say I look forward to my workouts.If you want a trainer who will listen to your needs and wants, personalize a plan for YOU, and be there every step of the way, Ford is the guy.

Ford is great! I started working with him when I was not able to run for a few months and wanted to be able to do something, but have stuck with it a year later because of how much I enjoy it and how much stronger Im feeling. It has been the perfect complement to running & cycling, and Ford is smart, helpful, and kind. Strongly recommend!

After trying every diet imaginable and every type of workout out there I thought being in shape wasn’t for me. I was wrong. I needed someone to give me a plan and hold me accountable. Ford was there every step of the way.Lost 35+ lbs in less than 6 months and stronger than I’ve ever been.Stop wasting time with stuff that doesn’t work. 5 star trainer!!!-Greg

Ive been blown away by my results training with Ford.In less than 3 months, Ive noticed major changes in my body. Ive lost weight while gaining muscle and definition.Although I had very little experience lifting weights before -- and was a little nervous about doing it -- Ford took his time with me and showed patience as I learned and got stronger.Ford makes me feel like Im his only client, and is always checking in with me and offering nutritional help and support when I need it. He keeps track of everything we do and always has a well-planned workout to help me achieve my body goals.Although I know Im going to get my butt kicked every time, I actually enjoy my workouts. More than that, I love my results!!!
