Our Owners Journey

Dwain Kindelberger… Owner, Founder, Developer & Innovator at Designer Bodies ‘World Class Gym’ started his humble fitness journey at the age of 10 while training with weights for motocross racing. However, Dwain enjoyed strength training and his physique transformed so much that his focus changed from motocross racing to bodybuilding. And by the very young age of 16 he entered his first teenage bodybuilding show. He was instantly hooked on competing in bodybuilding competitions! But after placing 13th out of 17 athletes he vowed never to place out of the top 5 again, let alone out of the top 10.

The Journey Evolves

At age 17 Dwain won his first bodybuilding show and by 21 he had won several prestigious bodybuilding titles on the East Coast. He then decided at this point to venture West to train at Gold’s Gym in Venice, California, known internationally as The Mecca of Bodybuilding.

A Career is Born

It was shortly after this move that people started noticing Dwain and approaching him to train them and manage their nutrition. Hence the new beginnings of his professional career as a Personal Fitness Trainer & Lifestyle Coach.

pioneering a Legacy

Dwain, a Pennsylvania native, unknowingly embarked on a groundbreaking journey as a bodybuilder turned renowned personal fitness trainer during California’s ‘Golden Era.’ Working at Gold’s Gym in Venice, he and a select group of fitness professionals coached Hollywood’s elite and Southern California influencers, setting the stage for the 1990s fitness boom. Their pioneering efforts continue to resonate in today’s thriving fitness industry. In 1991, seeking a slower-paced life, Dwain and Doris moved Designer Bodies to Albuquerque, operating in various gyms, including Pro Gym, Body Tech, and Gold’s Gym, leaving an enduring mark on the city’s fitness landscape until 2003. Opened Designer Bodies ‘World Class Gym’ in Corrales Shopping Center in 2006 and has been the owner and operator ever since!

I’ve been a gym rat for over 15 years and recently traveled a ton. My recent travels have made me so appreciative of this gym. It is always clean, spotless, and organized. It has the best diversity of equipment in the ABQ and Santa Fe area which really shows off the owner’s attention to detail and intent for this gym.

If you’re serious about fitness goals, and don’t want to deal with the over crowded, unsanitary environments you find in bigger gyms, this place is a perfect fit. It’s meticulously clean and friendly, and they are stocked with awesome machines, drinks, and even healthy meals on the go. It really lives up to the name!
