My best friend and I wanted to try something new, and when I saw BE Fit was opening a new location just minutes away from our house, I was immediately interested! All of their location schedules, pricing, and class bookings are on their website, which is fairly easy to navigate! Be sure you purchase some grip socks prior to coming - I'm not sure how much they were selling theirs for, but I found a 2-pair for $15 at Target!
- PARKING -
Shares a parking lot with several other businesses, but there's plenty of space so you'll get a spot guaranteed!
- SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT -
As mentioned in the beginning, most if not all of their logistics and information can be found on their website. Marissa was our instructor for this class, and when we checked in, she saw we were newcomers and said she would give us a rundown of the reformer. There are cubbies at the front of the room where you can put your belongings, and then the reformers are laid out in a staggered, single row. There are mirrors in the front and back, so you'll be able to see your form throughout the class. Marissa walked us through all parts of the reformer, and was very friendly and helpful! As the class went on, she gave modifications to make things easier or harder depending on your skill/comfort level. She was very clear and I never felt confused, even with this being my first experience! Everyone is given wipes at the end of class, and the entire studio is very clean.

New customers get a discounted rate of $19 for their first class!
Each class is about 45 minutes long, and the class we took today went through many core/oblique movements, leg strength training, and a small bit of upper body at the end. Definitely was shaking at various points where the slow movement really tested my core strength! I'm an avid gym-goer and work out 6-7 times a week, but this was still very challenging! There are parts of my body I felt engaging that I don't normally do - this definitely humbled me and I give tons of respect to Pilates instructors and goers. Low impact, moderate intensity - I didn't sweat or breathe heavily, but I could feel my muscles working out.
- OVERALL -
Very satisfied with my first Pilates class, and Marissa definitely had a big positive impact of my overall experience. I'm interested in trying out another class down the line, but will have to space them out as they can be expensive. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who enjoys fitness and wants to try something new! read more
