We do everything at Body From Scratch from the ground up to cater to your needs, your time, and your budget. Unlike most gyms or trainers, we offer in-person personal training packages that include access to our private gym for your workouts at no additional cost. If you can't make it to the gym or prefer to workout at another location, we can come to you and bring all the equipment needed for your workout session. For even more convenience, we also provide live virtual training plans and self-paced online pre-packaged programs that you can purchase as-you-go (programs launching soon!).


Since its inception in 2010, Body From Scratch (BFS) has successfully served thousands of satisfied clients over the years. BFS was established by fitness guru, former pro athlete, and health and wellness expert, Donte "DOC" Cater.
