So, yeah...I'm basically obsessed with Secret Physique. I drive to Pembroke from Plymouth {not…read moreTHAT long of a drive, but still} three or four times a week to take barre class, and it is so worth it. If you can find a workout that you actually look forward to, it's best to hang on to it! The main offering is the Secret Physique Barre class and that's what I usually take. What is barre? In a nutshell, a barre workout fuses together ballet-based stretching and terminology {plie, releve, etc} with yoga, Pilates, and light weights for the upper body. Each exercise is done with high reps until you completely fatigue the muscle; then you immediately stretch and move on. This light-weights-high-reps-and-streeetcchh combo is what give you those long, lean dancer's muscles. The classes follow the same general format each time, although the exercises themselves switch up, so it's easy to get into the groove of things and see your progress over time. You see results fairly quickly with regular barre classes ~ a firmer, stronger body in general. Secret Physique also offers Bardio {which I haven't taken} and Barre Works {which I have once, unintentionally} classes for more intense classes with cardio elements, as well as Pound, a complete different workout that uses drumsticks, rock music, and a whole lotta squats. Of course in a workout class situation, you are always going to find instructors you prefer over others, and I REALLY enjoy Kerry, Jenna and Jenny's classes; however every barre class follows the same format {upper body, stretch, thighs, stretch, glutes, stretch, abs, thigh/glute combo, and cool-down} and all the girls I've taken classes from are friendly and pleasant.

I like that you can do everything as best you can and still get a good workout even if you aren't a pro. Great music in class, too. It helps distract you from the pain! The studio is comfortable and clean and the instructors I've had are great. The location is a little tough to find and the classes have difficult times for me to accommodate... I'd be in there every day if the studio was closer to home in Braintree or if there was a 6 AM class. This is the perfect supplement to my cardio workouts and a great way to tone up and get stronger. I highly recommend checking it out and register for your first class through MindBody online... I got my second class for free!

Ending my membership because I simply don't go as much as I intended, but unfortunately the space…read moredidn't really entice me. Really nice folks working throughout the gym, but the equipment needed some updating and a good cleaning. Also, I was attracted to the steam room at sign up. But when I tried after a workout a few times, it wasn't a great experience. When the steam emits about every 5 minutes or so, the noise is almost unbearable. Also, I worried if anything happened to me (like falling or passing out), no one would know for a while (very quiet locker room). Nice price but you get what you pay for.

Just joined because I moved to the area it's most convenient. Pretty disappointed in the quality of…read moreequipment and sanitization. There's a large variety of equipment, but it's old and a lot of it is rusted which again speaks to the sanitization. The equipment is so close to each-other so people are walking right in your face which is uncomfortable. The spray bottles don't smell like disinfectant because it's so watered down. There's always trash in the cup holder in the cardio section. Locker rooms are subpar and the steam/sauna again does not seem sanitary. Would be ideal to get new equipment but I understand it's a small business. Hopefully there's some improvement planned in the future, but convenient otherwise and always enough cardio equipment despite rush hour times.

Funny coincidence that it was allegedly the only email that made it through their spam filter? The owner apologized for not getting the dozen or so emails I'd sent over the previous year, but then basically refused to listen to what I wanted and I gave up on trying to take classes anywhere that becoming a customer was so incredibly difficult. Fast forward to a few months ago and there's a Gilt City promotion going on for them. Well, the sucker for deals and second chances that I am, I bought it. Maybe they really didn't know that their website contact form didn't work and their email was apparently blocking everything? I figured it had to be fixed by now..... but nope. No matter how many times I fill out the web form, or send them emails (from both work and personal email addresses), and even calling/leaving a voicemail, I still get no response. :-( Very disappointing. I've finally emailed giltcity asking if they will give me a refund. So I have no idea if they're any good at Pilates or not... because apparently Back and Body doesn't want customers. Don't waste your time trying to contact them.
