A Healthier You Is Possible
Maximize Your Potential
For over 25 years, A Better Body Training has been serving Chester and the surrounding areas' athletes, families, adults, seniors, youth and community. By focusing on personalized professional training we continue to demonstrate that an enjoyable training routine with proven results is possible.
We recognize that most people exercise because they feel they have to, not because they want to. Since a lack of motivation to workout is natural, the facility and trainer become all the more important in achieving a fitness goal. No matter your "fitness level" or "fitness needs," the fact remains the same: EVERYONE NEEDS TO EXERCISE. It is with this understanding that A Better Body Training facility was designed.
Individual & Small Group Training
Tired of trying to fit your “likes" and time schedule into various group classes at the local gym?
Do you feel lost in the group mix?
Large group fitness classes make training more affordable but lack individualized attention.
One-size doesn't fit all!
A Better Body specializes in private customized programs for individuals and small groups (3-4) Each private by-appointment-only session is designed and monitored by a certified personal trainer. Every training session is customized to facilitate each client's preference, interests, skill levels, fitness goals and training environment.
Our Facility
Located in a private setting overlooking a beautiful wooded landscape, the view is the first thing that easily distinguishes our training facility from the other brick and mortar gyms you've come to expect. Coupling this with a private by-appointment-only environment, professional trainers, commercial equipment , two warm water pools and plenty of room makes all the difference when it comes to "getting to the gym.
Our facility is designed to personally meet the interests and needs of each individual and group.
Each session incorporates a variety of necessary and specific training modalities to assist every client towards safely achieving their fitness goals.

This is a private training facility: In order to maintain privacy, consistency and professional consideration all training sessions are prebooked, by appointment only and a strict cancellation policy is enforced. This is necessary to establish a gym schedule and assures that each client's training time is always available. At A Better Body there is no such thing as an "open gym". Example: Tuesday @ 10am is your training slot and NO ONE else's (even if you are on vacation). If a client finds it necessary to cancel a training session it should be rescheduled within 1 week notice. We understand that there are special considerations and a client should discuss them with the trainer. Group sessions (2-4 clients) are billed at a group rate and are subject to a non-cancellation policy. Group sessions run even if only 1 client is able to make the session. Group sessions can be rescheduled if all clients in the group agree. An extended hiatus is a special consideration and should be discussed with the trainer. The goal is not to penalize the client or the trainer for cancellations but rather to ensure consistency, reliability, privacy and exclusivity. Thank you.
