It's easy to locate off such a main drag. If you're not from the area, be prepared to give yourself extra time for parking. There is no dedicated parking lot, but rather free street parking on surrounding blocks. It's worth it to arrive early just for peace of mind you can find a spot and not be rushed while parallel parking. I wouldn't recommend it as a spot to super last minute book a class. I've attended a few yoga classes and had a wonderful experience. I continuously meet inviting and engaging teachers that actually understand the type of yoga they're teaching. The class sizes are intentionally small and extremely low-pressure. That type of environment alone is enough to make me want to return. Its genuinely a relaxed, supportive atmosphere that meets you where you're at. As someone with physical limitations, I always feel comfortable here and never feel pressured to be something I'm not.

BOOKING CLASSES -- Use their website. I had a ClassPass membership back then so I used my ClassPass credits to book the Reformer class. As of the writing of this review, in July 2026, BeFitness is no longer on ClassPass so guests will need to buy a single class package or a membership directly from BeFitness. A friend told me that they got rid of their Class Pass contract a while ago now. (Side-note: ClassPass is an app that allows members to book classes at different fitness studios and have the option to also access gyms and spas across various cities). REFORMER CLASS -- Anyone that has done a Reformer class knows that it is challenging, especially at 5am. The instructor was good because she provided understandable cues of what to do for each move/exercise. The instructor was enthusiastic as well. Having now taken other Reformer Pilates classes at a different Pilates studio in Avon and Bay Village, I definitely do not think the Reformer Pilates class at Be Fitness was as hard as the others that I've taken elsewhere. Nonetheless, I still recommend BeFitness if you live in the area and are looking for a beginner and intermediate friendly class. The Reformer Pilates class that I took at a different studio was a more advanced class. TIP (Reformer Pilates) -- The good thing about Reformer Pilates is that you can always adjust the resistance straps to increase or decrease the amount of resistance (weight) that you are pulling. SERVICE -- I remember the check-in process being smooth when I entered and the front desk woman greeted me (she was also the instructor). Overall, I enjoyed the Reformer Pilates class. Similar to many fitness studios, they sometimes have deals/sales so join their email list or visit them on social media to stay informed with current discounts. I joined the Cleveland area YMCA a month after visiting BeFitness so I most likely won't be back to BeFitness since the YMCA offers a ton of fitness classes in addition to a full gym, pool, sauna, etc. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 151/250 total reviews in 2026 - 992 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 July 2026

The best spot for pole, buti yoga, and aerial yoga in Cleveland. Lots of membership perks and a…read moregreat community!

I signed up for the Unlimited Starter Pack (2 weeks) hoping to explore aerial classes and see if…read morethis was a good fit. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing from both a customer service and overall support standpoint. My first class (Aerial Silks) was less than satisfactory--I actually had to leave early due to motion sickness. While I understand that part is personal tolerance, I was hoping to try other classes within the package before making any longer-term commitment. Shortly after, I had a family medical emergency that required me to leave town to bring a family member back from Montana and help coordinate care at Cleveland Clinic. This obviously limited my ability to attend classes during the remainder of the 2-week window. At the beginning of the second week, I received a call from a representative offering to "help me sign up for classes." I tried to explain my situation and asked if there was any flexibility--specifically whether I could convert my unused time into an Introductory New Flight pack (even if I had to pay an additional fee), so I could properly try classes after my family situation stabilized. Instead of addressing my request, the conversation repeatedly shifted toward selling me a monthly membership. I explained multiple times that I had only attended one class and was not in a position to commit, but the focus remained on upselling rather than listening. What stood out most was the lack of empathy regarding my medical emergency. The call eventually ended abruptly, with the representative saying she was "sorry she called," which felt dismissive and unprofessional. Overall, this experience felt less about supporting new students or encouraging participation in the sport, and more about pushing memberships. I had hoped for a more understanding, flexible, and customer-centered approach.

Highly recommend this business for someone interested in trying pole or other types of exotic dance styles. Group classes are divided into beginner and intermediate levels and students can work at their own pace. And every student gets a pole to themselves.

It feels like a locals-only sin that it has taken me this long to finally go to Edwins. Despite…read moreknowing about it since I moved back into town 5 years ago, we just never quite got around to actually going. My mom and grandmother were in town for my birthday and it was finally the right opportunity for a celebratory meal at Edwins. We dined in the brasserie, where the menu is classic French bistro cuisine and the service is accurate and attentive. Across our party of four, we sampled from across the menu: the shrimp cocktail, soup du jour (potato leek), and mixed green salad were soon followed by steak frites, roasted salmon, and shrimp scampi. Everything we had was well-executed and flavorful. We followed with dessert, splitting a creme brulee and bananas foster across the table. To accompany the meal, each of us got a glass of wine or cocktail. I was pleased to see the retro revival cocktails - you don't see a Japanese Slipper on too many menus, and I found it well balanced and refreshing. What a wonderful experience, and serving a wonderful mission.

We had a reservation so were seated immediately. I got the chicken paillard and creme brulee. The food was a good portion and taste overall.

I would love to come back when in town.
