BODY BE GOOD WAS FOUNDED IN 1999 BY GENE AND DEBRA BONO. DEBRA, A DANCER, IS CERTIFIED BY AFAA AND ACE AND HAS BEEN A CONTINUING ED PROVIDER FOR THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. GENE IS A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN SKILLED ON KEYBOARDS AND WRITES THE MUSIC FOR ALL THE VIDEOS.

THEY ESTABLISHED AND PROVIDED MASTER CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS IN AFRO CARIBBEAN STYLE STEP/BENCH CLASSES (DEBRA AS CLINICIAN AND GENE ON LIVE PERCUSSION) WHEN DEBRA DECIDED TO CREATE A NEW CLASS FOR A LOCAL GYM. DEBRA BELIEVES THAT USING FULL BODY MOVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH DANCE WILL DOUBLY SATISFY AS A COMPLETE FITNESS WORKOUT. FIRSTLY, THE WORKOUTS INITIATE MUSCLE ACTIVATION IN MULTIPLE PLANES AND OFTEN UNDERUSED AREAS AND SECONDLY, ALLOWING THE FUN FACTOR OF DANCING TO HELP ELIMINATE OR DIMINISH BOREDOM.
