“Having relocated to Atlanta, one of my first searches was for a personal trainer. I long ago realized that working out was the best method for stress relief and I wanted a change in training after relying on p90x, p90x^2, and insanity workouts for several years.
I was looking for a gym with personal one-to-one service instead of a big box facility. I stumbled upon BodyFitz in Sandy Springs, and initially spoke with its owner, Dan FitzSimons. Both professional and knowledgeable.. Read More
I have been a twice weekly regular at BodyFitz now for 4 years. I enjoy coming in to work out because of the friendly atmosphere at BodyFitz. I’m an early morning person and love the positive energy in the gym. The training I’ve received has allowed me to completely recover from a serious ankle surgery which I had as a result of an accident in 2009. I’m stronger than I ever was! .. Read More

I am Harland Gunn. I am an ex-NFL football player. I spent the majority of my NFL career with The Atlanta Falcons. While preparing during the offseason with The Falcons, I wanted to tend to my chronic issues of hip mobility and core instability. I knew I had issues with my core not being as strong as I’d like, and my hips being rigid from squatting heavy weights throughout my football career. The hip pain was limiting my performance. I heard about Jenna at BodyFitz through my wife, and decided to explore the gym to see what type of services they could provide for the goals I had set regarding my hips and core.
After a month of consistent work outs, mobility work, and stretching with Jenna, my hip issues were considerably reduced and I felt extremely free moving around during football practices and performing everyday tasks. My core strength was significantly improved and I was quicker coming up off the line. If I were to come across younger football players dealing with similar issues, I would refer them to Jenna to have their functional movement issues tended to. Thanks again Jenna.
Running has been an important part of my life since my first marathon in 1996. When I injured my knee, in May of 2015, and could not run; I was not a happy camper! I went to the orthopedist, and he x-rayed both knees, and said that I had cartilage, but the tendons, muscles, etc. were extremely inflamed. He advised me to stop running and initiate a program of exercise therapy to help heal the knee. Jenna built a customized program of home and in-the-gym exercises, and began working with me three times per week. Within three months, my knees were feeling great! Now I can run again, and I will continue the exercises for probably the rest of my life to ensure strong muscles and tendons, and flexibility to enable me to exercise and run. I have already signed up for my next half marathon which I thought I could never do again! Yay for Jenna and a great program!!!
Before I started working with Jenna I had a lot of knee problems if I played tennis more than twice a week. After just a few months with Jenna I was able to go to a week- long tennis clinic and I didn’t have any knee pain at all! Jenna helped me see that my knee pain was a combination of knee, hamstring, and hip issues, and she used weight training, stretching, and other exercises to address them. I’m very thankful for Jenna and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish next.
Jenna began working with me 6 months before my hip replacement.
She had me do a lot of hip strengthening exercises to prepare me for me surgery.
Thanks to Jenna, I was back at work in 5 days and working out in 2 weeks.
At my post op appointment, my surgeon thanked me for making him look good.
Jenna gets all of the credit, she is the best!

“I started working out at BodyFitz in June 2009 about 3 months after major back surgery. My goal was to get back into running. I should have been cross training more before my back started bothering me, but I just liked to run – only run. I knew that to recover fully from surgery that I needed to cross train and build my core body strength and flexibility . I had attended one yoga class elsewhere, .. Read More
