WHAT PEOPLE SAY

– Lindsay S., Midtown East, shown 5 months after pregnancy

My prenatal training with Mahri helped me to maintain energy throughout my pregnancy and stay in shape. I would recommend this prenatal workout to anyone. Mahri’s extensive background in the prenatal field also allowed me to feel comfortable training during each stage of my pregnancy. After my son was born I was able to bounce back to my pre-pregnancy body quickly which I believe was a result of my training throughout my pregnancy & my post pregnancy training with Mahri. The strength and endurance I maintained through Mahri’s prenatal method helped me to have a smooth healthy delivery. It is an amazing way to stay fit and healthy during pregnancy.”

- Cait, NYC

Virtual training with Mahri has been an absolute game changer for me. It has allowed me to commit to not one but two hours a week of training from the comfort of my own home. Having two kids makes finding time very difficult these days but being able to train virtually at home really allows maximum flexibility. Not to mention I am able to train with Mahri who is living across the country!”

– Cori W., Kips Bay

I have trained with Mahri for almost 3 years now and we continued our training throughout my pregnancy. I was so relieved to be able to continue our sessions throughout my pregnancy. Mahri is amazing at prenatal workouts as she is certified and knows how to customize the workouts so they feel most comfortable for me. I think our workouts have made me stronger and able to endure the discomforts that come with pregnancy and a growing belly! I feel less tired and have much more stamina thanks to training with Mahri. Also, I know that all this hard work will definitely pay off as I recover from giving birth.”

“When they suggested I try Body Conceptions New Year, New You Challenge, I never imagined having results this fantastic. I am so, so, so happy I found you guys! Everyone at Body Conceptions is truly amazing… and of course the workout does wonders! I am amazed at how many people in my life have noticed a difference. There is a reason that the back of the tank top says ‘It works!'”

– Nina, Grammercy Park

I have been working out with Julia since I was 6 weeks pregnant and am now 11 weeks post-partum. I chose Body Conceptions because of the specific focus on workouts that fit this stage in my life. Past trainers have provided a generic workout, but Julia really evolved the exercises over the course of my pregnancy. And now that I’m post-partum, she is using new techniques to help me regain strength in my core and pelvic floor.

– Keridy W., Tribeca

I started to work with Mahri when I was about three months into my pregnancy. Mahri’s knowledge and experience make me extremely confident in the workouts she designs. She is extremely sensitive to the changes that my body is going through and she helps me to understand such changes and how to address them during our training sessions. Mahri’s enthusiasm and challenging workouts energize and motivate me… even on days when I don’t feel like moving! I am so grateful to be training with her during such an important time in my life.

I have been working with BoCo for 8 years and their method has helped me tremendously during that time. They have taken me through three pregnancies, from prenatal training to maintain my strength, to postnatal training to build it back up. The trainers have been integral in getting me through these trying times for my body and now I feel stronger than ever. They are constantly changing their routine so it never gets boring, they focus specifically on my body’s needs at the time, and always keep the music fun! I have worked with 4 different trainers over the years and they have all been better than the last, happy, kind, and knowledgeable. I even have my husband joining me once a week now and he loves it! We are huge fans of the BoCo method and how easy Mahri has made personal training for our lifestyle.

- Lauren B, NYC

It is hard to put into words how grateful I am for Mahri and her virtual training sessions! After having a baby in January, I had just got the clearance to start working out again and then…the pandemic hit! I had taken Mahri‘s classes in NYC and remembered she was an expert in prenatal and postpartum workouts. I scheduled a consultation with her and 6 months later I couldn’t be more thankful for everything she has done!

The virtual sessions with Mahri have been extra special because it is also a time where my best friend and I are able to workout together, virtually! The 3 of us join for sessions 3x a week and this has truly helped me get through the challenging Covid-19 times. Mahri is amazing and I can’t imagine how I would have gotten through this post partum and pandemic time without her! Thank you, Mahri!

- C.K. NYC

I stumbled upon body conceptions since my best friend had previously taken a class with Mahri. I was skeptical of the virtual classes but after the first class I was hooked. I was amazed how sore I was after the first work out. The fact that I could get a full-body workout from my living room was great. Not only was the work out great but it was something to look forward to three times a week where I could log off my computer and hang with my best friend and Mahri. Not only is Mahri the sweetest but she checks in on both your physical and mental health, especially with everything going on. Mahri has recognized I was down and done everything to lift my spirits from playing my favorite songs, picking moves she knows I love or adding meditation at the end of our workout. I truly don’t think I would be in the physical and mental state I am today without our workouts. I would recommend taking classes from her or any of her colleagues.

To Denver trainer, Shannon C:

You give the best workout I have ever experienced. Truly. Gratitude abounds – especially through you, you human ray of sunshine, you!”

– Dana F., NYC

Your classes are clearly the highlight of my week. I can’t tell you how much stronger I feel mentally, physically and spiritually because of you.”

– Leslie H., CA

Emily is the best trainer I have ever had! Upbeat, fun, but also challenges me every workout. She was a miracle worker in getting me back to shape after baby #2 and even kept me fit through a broken foot! She is the best!”

– Gabby S., NYC

I have searched NYC for close to 9 years for a workout that I love, that is always exciting, and that is always effective! When I became pregnant I reached out to body conceptions and was paired up with Kate. I have finally found the workout I have been searching for!!!! This is the first time in my life where I don’t dread working out, but I actually really look forward to it!! The hour feels like a minute! Kate puts together a routine for me that is challenging and always really fun. We work on strength training and my body finally feels stronger from the inside out. For years I was suffering with a “bad knee”. I was in PT, but nothing really improved it much. Strength training with Kate made all my muscles and ligaments stronger. So an added bonus to the awesome workout is that I am no longer suffering with my knee issue. To top it all off, Kate is always positive and so kind! She is always willing to give me time and answer any questions I may have. I love my weekly time with her :)”

– Leah F., NYC

I honestly thought it was impossible to get any strength back in my body after having my daughter 15 months ago. Since training with Whitney consistently (mostly virtually) for the last year, I can honestly say I feel stronger than before pregnancy. Always showing up with a smile on her face, no matter how early the session, Whitney has kept me motivated to push harder & not give up, especially while being in quarantine! Not to mention her awesome mix of music! Whitney truly understands your body and takes time to focus on problems areas that may arise. She truly cares and it is obvious that she is passionate about what she does. Whitney has incredible patience, is super accommodating, and has given me the gift of lower abdominal muscles that I’ve never had before!!”

– Lauren A., NYC

I have been working out with Mahri for many months, and she is truly EXCEPTIONAL. Her workouts are challenging, yet they manage to be so much fun, that I often forget I’m actually exercising! Likewise, her infectious enthusiasm motivates me in a way that no other fitness or dance instructor has ever been able to do over many years (and many classes) in both disciplines. Set to exciting music (she has impeccable taste!), Mahri’s method combines the essential properties of different types of workouts (i.e. cardio, dance and strength training) in a way that is both enjoyable and effective for a wide range of clients, no matter their fitness level, ability or interest. There really is something for everyone in this workout, and I highly recommend giving it a try!”

– Renee R., Tribeca

When I was pregnant with my first child, I worked out on my own during my pregnancy. At 8 weeks post c-section, I couldn’t even do a sit-up without using my arms and elbows to hoist myself up. When I was pregnant with my second child, thank goodness I found Mahri. Her prenatal training method was down right difficult, yet extremely thoughtful, personalized, and most of all, highly effective. She is the single best reason my second c-section recovery was almost immediate. I could sit up unassisted in the hospital. I could do “real” sit ups and planks within a few weeks postpartum. I’m amazed how the work we did in the last 4 months of pregnancy made ALL the DIFFERENCE in my core strength. I never lost it thanks to the work we did together.”

– Lorie B., Greenwich Village

Starting my day with a Sarah workout puts me in a good mood for the entire day. She has the MOST positive energy, and she has the unique ability to make a super challenging workout fun. She will customize her workouts each session based on how my body is feeling that day. I love that I can get such a good mix of strength, cardio, and stretching in each session. I have recently introduced some of my die-hard workout friends to Sarah, and they are equally obsessed! Sarah is the BEST!”

– Jessica C., NYC

Mahri is a gift to the world. Along with creating a dance-cardio-sculpt program that does what it says it’s gonna do, she has an effervescence that radiates positivity, motivation, encouragement and confidence. Her passion for helping women transform their bodies into a place that feels lighter and more comfortable in their own skin is ever present. She leads a team of dedicated, fun, equally passionate women who are all outstanding models for their classes. Each of them hold my attention through their own unique style.

“I was fortunate to participate in the summer BoCo Challenge which inspired me to step up my workouts in focus, determination and consistency. Without a doubt, this class produced the results I was eager to achieve. It allows you to go to another place when you’re toning and dancing, to not think about where you came from or where you’re headed to next. BoCo is a celebration, a friend, a mindset.”

– Allegra C., Flatiron

I have been working out with a trainer in person for years and was hesitant to start up virtually, I thought I would find it challenging and boring. Working with Cristina has been fabulous. We train several times per week early in the morning and she always shows up energized with a smile. It motivates my entire day. She is consistently varying the workouts so it is never dull or boring and puts in new challenges when I least expect it.”

– Ivy S, NYC

Demi is a consummate professional and a joy to work with. Her knowledge of anatomy and movement makes me feel safe in her class, as an aging dancer with injuries. My body hasn’t felt this mobile in years. Somehow, Demi manages to challenge us while keeping everything fun and positive. It’s a hard time for everyone, but Demi has brought some much-needed light and purpose to my week.”

– Rebecca C.

I have been working out with Julia for 4 years now and I am so grateful that she came into my life. It is the longest relationship I’ve had with a trainer! Not only is Julia and amazing human but she is one of the hardest working trainers I’ve trained with. She is dedicated to her craft and she really takes the time to address your specific needs/issues. She is always motivated, full of energy, and such a pleasure to be around. I would be lost without her!”

– Lena B., NYC

Before meeting Mahri I was someone who didn’t work out regularly. I had tried different things and trainers but somehow I just never got into it, I would have great starts but sooner rather than later I wouldn’t have time for it any more.

“But with Mahri, it was clearly different. As soon as I met her and did my first session, I knew I would continue to do it and love it! And a couple of months later I can say, I am hooked on Mahri’s workout, energy and personality. I can’t wait for her session (totally a first for me).

“What amazed me from the beginning, was seeing Mahri doing EVERY move she tells you to do – she does the whole workout with you! She will stop when you stop and continue when you are good to continue and most importantly she takes interest and understands the body and will advise you on how to do it better, or to take it easy if it is necessary. She is not the trainer who stands and gives instructions. She is taking the session with you – while playing one amazing playlist after another, really keeping you motivated. She switches the routines, and makes them more challenging when she knows you are ready for it. So she gets you in better shape everyday, without you even realizing it.

“I cannot say enough great things about her! She now has my husband hooked on her sessions as well and he joins me when he can – he even tries to steal my time. The only thing we wish she would have is more time for more workouts!”

– Valeska C., TriBeCa

Mahri and I have been working together for a little over a year, and I had never quite thought possible the transformation that has taken place.

“Quantitatively, Mahri has the depth of knowledge and experience – as well as the boundless energy – to push you further than the limitations you impose on yourself. Mahri fundamentally understands what your weaknesses are, and will strengthen them; all the while handling them with a deft diplomacy. I indeed managed to achieve the body conception I had imagined for myself, and to my utter relief, it was the first time I thoroughly enjoyed exercise; this, all effected by Mahri’s unfaltering enthusiasm.

“Qualitatively, Mahri is a person who is genuine and warm and a sheer joy to be around. Mahri’s approach, or method, is intuitive, informed by her many years as a successful dancer, thus fomenting her understanding of the body’s capabilities. Mahri brings a scientific element to her method, no matter your body shape, which allows her to prescribe the most effective routine for your workout. And perhaps the most wonderful thing of all, is that Mahri never allows you to stagnate; changing often the music as much as the routine, in order to not only keep you interested, but to keep your physique alert and adapting; it is a method which is highly successful not just because of the method itself, but because of the ethos within which it is created.

“I would highly recommend Mahri’s body conceptions to anyone (and everyone).”

– Layla Q, TriBeCa

Talented instructors in the industry respect Mahri greatly and you will immediately understand why from the moment you meet her. Mahri Relin is a heartfelt person with a genuine interest in each student and has crafted a program to target those sticky and hard to battle bulges that challenge many of us as a result of our lifestyles or lack of proper exercise. So whether you are seeking to breakthrough your fitness plateau and lose stubborn inches while toning and sculpting a lean, dancer-like physique or if you are a fit individual interested in a challenge without bulking, this program can be adored by everyone…

“…There are times in popular culture when ball players are at their gaming peak and win championship rings, best actors win an Oscar and the most talented singers capture a Grammy. Similarly, Mahri Relin is currently at the top of her game and she is the epitome of what a fitness icon should be. Her experience and boundless talent has led her to create a fun and challenging fitness program and it is clear from the start of BoCo class that she is passionate about exercise. That inner passion can’t be bought and her generous nature enables her to share this strength with others. Mahri taught this class to real people with real bodies who wanted change and a challenge in their fitness programs. Heart rates were elevated and smiles filled the room as she was extremely positive and helpful with adjustments and modifications throughout the tough hour. Her program is set apart from others because interesting exercises and twists in formatting deliver muscle fatigue while students are motivated to delve inside to get more out of the hour for themselves. This was exercise at its ultimate best and everyone left appearing accomplished and happy.

“The entire team at Body Conceptions is fantastic therefore every class is highly recommended. Mahri has hired talented teachers and her team will help any newbies transition into the program seamlessly. Classes are held daily so be prepared to sweat and work hard. Stubborn areas needing change on your physique have met a challenge-Body Conceptions is the antidote.”
