Highly recommend PBCH! As someone who loves going fitness boutique classes, this one is hands down…read morethe most welcoming while ensuring you get an excellent workout. Not to mention, it's great for all fitness levels. The instructors suggest modifications throughout class to meet the needs of all clients. The classes never get easier but you get stronger (and become addicted so you have to come back all the time). Another aspect that sets PBCH aside are their virtual classes. Several live classes are offered throughout the day. If a client misses a class, they have access to hundreds of prerecorded classes. Times are crazy right now but PBCH is an excellent way to distract yourself for 50 minutes while you lift, tone and burn!

So excited this location has opened! I had been looking for a barre studio near me since I moved to…read moreMt Airy and stumbled upon this one just yesterday -- they opened in June. When I called with questions, Liz, the owner was incredibly helpful, after speaking with her for just a few minutes I could tell I would really like this studio. I was so pumped that I found this studio I signed up for a class immediately and had a really great workout with Corinne. Barre workouts are one of the most effective/quickest ways to tone and gain strength, I have tried several styles, and have always gone back to the Pure Barre "method." If you are looking for a studio in the Mt Airy, Chestnut Hill, Jenkintown, etc. location, this is the barre studio for you. Really looking forward to my next class!

The studio itself is awesome! It is super clean and sleek, giving off a radiant vibe the moment you walk in. There are cubicles available in the back of the studio where customers can store their belongings during class. Don't have barre socks? RISE has you covered. They offer a handful of different colors for you to choose from and they are fairly inexpensive as well. Not to mention, they have an entire wall of adorable merchandise that can be purchased by the customers. Being my first barre class ever, I was SUPER nervous and had no idea what to expect. My anxiety was instantly relieved by the friendly staff and the welcoming customers taking the class. I was shocked at how kind these people were. Honestly, some of the nicest people I have ever met while taking a fitness class. The instructor who taught the previous class walked my friend and I through what equipment we needed and explained what barre was all about which was great since both of us had no idea what we were doing. Our instructor was wonderful as well, extremely motivating throughout the entire class, and corrected any movement that I was doing wrong which was super helpful. They play great music too which helps push you through the pain you may be experiencing as you go about the workout. I definitely left the studio feeling like I got a great workout in. I am so happy that I found this studio and will definitely be back very soon for more classes!

I had never tried the Spin shoes before and they have them available for free to use to clients. The girl at the front desk was very helpful and showed me how to use them since it was my first time. First class was free which was also nice. And they have childcare. Couldn't ask for more! I wish this gym was closer to me as I only have Crunch HV near me and they only have a couple RIDE classes a week whereas this one has 3 a day (they also have Barre and TRX). They had ~25 bikes in the class. I liked that they had it dark, especially during intense moments. It does have black lights so if you wear white or neon, you will glow. Pricing: $18/class; 3 classes $16/class; 5 classes $15/class; 10 classes $14/class; $115 monthly unlimited or $99 if do recurring. Happy I found this spot and can't wait to try more instructors!

I don't necessarily agree with push ups or the dumbbell training during the class but that's just me. I'm not going to say if it's right or wrong... most people seem to enjoy it so...so be it. Btw - Check online for specials. I was able to get a 10pack (10 classes) for an end of Summer deal - $100. It's Definitely worth it. Full price admission isn't for me since I belong to another gym and really don't have the time. I would join if I could though. Check this place out.

They offer a variety of classes and intensity levels like Zumba, Hipfit, Tone Zone, and more, so there's always something fun to choose from. The instructors are amazing! They call out the moves clearly, make classes easy to follow, and bring the best playlists that keep you motivated the entire time. What really sets Dancefit apart is the sense of community. They offer workshops and chances to be involved in community events, which makes it feel like a supportive space, not just a workout. The little details matter here too. The studio has water, lockers, and an overall comfortable setup. If you're looking for a fun way to get moving without it feeling like a chore, Dancefit is it. It's truly exercise in disguise.

In my opinion, it is the best gym around and it is truly a lifestyle beyond anything. The Escape is the perfect place to do exactly that.

Although I…read morehad been inside the facility several times over the years, I had never seen the new outdoor pools and water park theme up close. Have to say that while it appears to be an amusement park from beyond the fence with massive water slides and multiple aquamarine pools for various uses; from within it makes more sense and is actually quite attractive in a hyperactive way. Happy Hour with half price drinks was a good deal, and the bar food offerings were also well designed to complement the alcoholic drinks, if not all that tasty, nor compelling in their own right. So many people in a relatively small space around the bar, that conversation was a bit challenging. Plenty of alternative distractions among the many "beautiful" folks who enjoy being the center of attention, and know how to do it right, especially when encouraged with beverage. With music playing in the background the experience was a mixed bag. Clearly, the plan is a bit over the top, and made for people with kids or those who like this glitterati experience. Yet, there was a full house that evening, and business was booming. Covid put an end to the crowds for the last year, but I suspect the club will be back in action full tilt come vaccinations and reduced mask wearing. I'm the more cautious type, and will wait a while before accepting my next invitation.

Why go to the beach to do the same thing we would do at the pool? People are allowed to bring their lunches in with them. They do have a concession stand with ice cream, chips, hotdogs, pizza, and pretzels. When there is bad weather in the forecast they will shut down the pool. One time we came here and it was thundering over 10 miles away, but because we could hear it they ordered everyone out of the water. Better safe than sorry I guess. I wish adult swim was longer than 15 minutes. Some of the lifeguards do a good job making sure the kids are behaving and following the rules, while others seem hesitant to say anything. I had come here one time and a group of 5 kids was standing in front of the diving board the moment adult swim started. They just had to be first in line the moment kids swim started again. But it just seemed silly, because adult swim just started and they had 15 minutes to find something else to do. It was getting annoying having to ask them to move out of the way so adults can dive off the diving board. I notice a lot of bugs in the grass under the trees. Fleas and mosquitos. So be careful before bringing your towels and equipment back inside your home. I also want to mention the guest fees went up in price significantly in the past year. They used to be $5 now it's $10. You can only pay with CASH. So, come prepared.

There is a kids pool, which ranges from 2 feet to 3 1/2 feet. There's also a third large pool with swimming lanes, and a diving area of 11 feet. The deep end also contains two waterslides and a particularly bouncy diving board. I had no idea this existed around here. What a gem!
