I purchased a 5 class new student introductory offer and as of last week I completed my 5 classes…read more My thoughts...... First - barre was new to me and so I certainly wasn't use to this type of activity. For me, this was one intense workout that made me drip sweat like a land beast. I was sore after every class and really felt it in every muscle not just thighs or arms. Second - they have a lot of classes. You need early? They have early. You want late? They have that too. There is a class that will fit into your schedule and that's handy for someone like me whose work schedule isn't the same every day. Third - It's convenient and it's an attractive space in which to work out. Why does this matter? I don't know that it does, but so many people who write reviews always comment on the space if it's old, outdated, crusty, raggedy, etc. This place is new, modern, clean & cute. It's easy to get to, I never once had an issue with parking & there is a coffee shop literally 3 doors down for your post workout caffeine fix. Ok, so all that & only four stars? Well, it's small and the five classes I attended were all packed. I always felt like I was on top of someone or that I might kick someone if I didn't pay close attention. They don't have a changing room, I didn't know that for my first class & showed up in my work clothes & a gym bag. Their only restroom is inside the studio so you'll need to wait until class is over to go in there & change. That first time there was a queue of people who just finished working out waiting to use it and then me waiting like a dope to go change. I changed at work after that initial class. As a workout it is probably five stars, but as a whole, I never really felt fully comfortable there. I always felt like I was doing it wrong but seldom if ever got corrected. I always felt too clumsy, too sweaty, too frumpy, too fat, too much - but that's my own hang up not theirs. It's a great work out and fit in nicely between kickboxing & the gym. If you're going to give it a try, do yourself two favors - first, spend the $16 and buy the barre socks right away. Second, try to take at least one class with Marla - she was so encouraging and motivating, I wish she taught there more often but no matter who leads, you're going to get a great workout.

I signed up for a class in November and they billed me for an entire month at $79 and have…read morecontinued to bill me at $79 a month for a total of 5 months. I have called repeatedly and no one answers the phone and have emailed them and it is an invalid email address. I was actually able to get a hold of someone 6 weeks ago who said she would take care of it and refund my money back but they have yet to do so. I am in the process now of disputing with my credit card company. Not good business people!!!!

If you see a MILF in the Cherry Hill area, ask her if she goes to La Belle Fit. Chances are the…read moreanswer is yes. This place attracts the cream of the crop from the area. I had a Groupon and was very, very excited to try the Barre Ampped classes. I enjoyed the classes tremendously. Great workout although not as intense as I would have liked. (Of course, I had just finished months of straight Pilates and running so I was in pretty good shape.) I've only done the TRX and Barre classes here but they also have Zumba, pilates, yoga, etc. A few comments-yes, some of the instructors vary in quality and teaching style which stinks because these classes are expensive and for what you're paying, you should be able to get consistency. This is normal for gyms though bc you will like some teaching styles better. It is also pricey which deters me from going more often. They run specials frequently on their website which helps with the cost i.e. a barre class will be $13 instead of $20.

I was looking to add some variation and liked that there were different classes available versus…read morejust barre. I purchased a bundle of classes during their summer sale promo. Which was not a bad deal 10 classes for $55. I tried registering online for the beach body glutes class and was unable to. I sent an email and after not hearing back at the end of the following business day I gave them a call. The beach body glutes class is a part of the barre series. So it would use up 2 of my classes versus one ok! So they were able to add me to the class. Upon entering I checked in with the front desk and being my first time I did not know where to go. I stood there is silence thinking they were not finished checking me in. I then noticed they were and explained I was new so I did not know where I was suppose to go. The women at the front desk then directed me to the studio. Can't they see in their system that I am new? Customers should be treated with more respect. On the upside, Donna was amazing and friendly. She noticed I was new and introduced herself. Throughout the class she remained engaged and so energetic. I could barely keep up and I wasn't the one working out and instructing a class! It was really a great workout with the use of a rebounder, skateboard, free weights and many other items. Unfortunately, this class interferes with yoga so i have not been back. Next, I tried spin & core with Brandi. She is also so pleasant and makes you work so hard. This class consists of 45 minutes of spin and then 15 minutes of core workouts on the mat, with weights, and the use of other equipment. She changes it up from week to week which is very nice. However, recently I noticed that this class is not available and had not been replaced on Sundays which is when I like to spin. This was what made it miss the 4 star mark in my eyes.

My previous comments still stand. I never thought I'd still be coming here (well over a year since…read moreI started), but it's a testament to my trainer, Christine, and her skills, encouragement and professionalism. She keeps my workouts fun and interesting. I would give her six stars. Why should you come here? Because it's cheaper than seeing a psychiatrist. Haha. No really, I feel so much better after a session! All the stress of the work day melts away and I get some "me" time. I will tell you that over time I can see the way my body has changed: more defined shoulders, higher/firmer butt and leaner legs. Their location on Ellis is closer to work, so I can walk there, which is good, because the parking lot is small. The huge plate glass window in the front sometimes feels like a fishbowl. Still feels a little claustrophobic when multiple trainers are there with their students, like "don't go too far back," so I'm sticking with 4 stars.

Considering personal training?…read more Option A: go to a $19.99/month (or less) gym and have an intimidatingly strong trainer teach you how to pick up and put down weights for "free", then ignore you until your next "free" session 29 days later. Option B: go to Bell's Bodies, pay more money, and have extremely dedicated, personable, intelligent, healthy, motivational, experienced trainers provide you with customized sessions that WILL help you achieve/exceed your goals. Bell's Bodies is more than a building filled with trainers, clients, and exercise equipment. It's a lifestyle, a community, a source of support, a place where lives are transformed!

Lynda is amazing! Before working with her I signed up for a contemporary reformer pilates class,…read moreand it led to a recurrence of tailbone pain from an injury caused by the birth of my first child 12 years ago. It got worse as time went on and I kept going to classes. Then I decided I needed some 1 on 1 guidance and signed up for a chat with Lynda. Her cues made so much more sense than the teacher cues being used in my class, and by following them I am PAIN FREE and seeing better results from my time spent in classes. 10/10 would recommend Lynda to anyone who wants some guidance on proper pilates form!

I've been…read moredoing live online mat classes with her for the past year, and am continually amazed at how well she sees through the screen, and how the slightest adjustment takes me to a whole other level of strength and litheness. Even though she's in New York and I'm in Seattle, and we've never met IRL, it feels like she knows my body as well as I do, if not better. She really is a master teacher. Oh, and did I mention? -- she's fun to work with too!
