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!!!!

Last month, a group of friends lost one of our best friends under tragic circumstances. Lost,…read moredevastated, and slightly intoxicated, we attended a private class at Pure Barre as a memorial to our friend who has passed away and had been dedicated to barre classes for the past few years. Another friend booked this group class for about 20 of us as a way to come together, remember our friend, and get some exercise. It was a remarkable experience. Our instructor, Alexis, was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better person on that day. She was patient and supportive and created the exact environment we needed. We laughed and cried, and our muscles burned! It was a great workout and Alexis was so helpful with most of us being beginners. Everyone at Pure Barre was great, allowing flexibility with scheduling and just generally being so kind. But what really meant the most was that they donated the proceeds from our private session to a multiple sclerosis foundation that was dear to our friend. I cannot say enough about Pure Barre Haddonfield- Alexis and everyone else was amazing and helped bring some joy during an extremely difficult time. If I lived in the area, I would love to be a regular at this studio. I can't say enough about their kindness and generosity.

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!
