Review №1

So I have attended online and in person classes. I will say the work outs are hard and push you. I do like feeling like I’m getting my money’s worth.However, I was compelled to write this review after seeing their recent social media posts selling their business by using language like “everyone welcome” and “we are your team.” It’s simply a load of bull. This is not an inclusive environment. They consistently use language that is not inclusive during their work outs. Bikini body, tank top arms, and skinny jeans being their favorite, but tons of verbiage about looking a certain way. Don’t say you want everyone to work out to feel confident and then only tie exercise to physical appearance. I exercise to be strong. Not to wear a bikini and be society’s expectation of a perfect woman.Additionally they use this language about being welcoming and in the same post don’t feature an assortment of sizes in their studio pictures.Worst of all they don’t offer modifications on their work outs. They say this is to “push” you...it “pushed” me right into physical therapy. They are not meant for beginners and is downright dangerous. I had been working out for months and still got hurt.The staff simply ignore anyone who isn’t part of their gang when they attend classes. In fact I wasn’t greeted at all for my first few classes. Not even for attendance purposes. If you send a message asking questions you may or may not get an answer. Finally, if you have any sort of reasonable concern about COVID, do not attend in person classes. They do not follow the local mask mandate (as you can see in their own social media stories) and they put people right on top of other people in their cycle room. I know several people who are members that have gotten sick. This may or may not be due to the gym, but their own footage of classes doesn’t give one confidence on how they are handling the pandemic.Just please quit using language that you support all woman and body types when you simply have not done any actions to support that claim. Own the fact that you are group classes for people who are already fit and look a certain way. If that’s your jam, fine. It just really bothered me that this gym has started selling themselves on a lie.

I am so glad my friend Marli encouraged me to try b.well - it has changed my life! I was pretty scared to try it (I wasnt sure I could keep up at all after having a baby) but the instructors are just so great, so helpful and so positive. Its addicting.

B.well is more than a gym -- its a community of women lifting each other up and empowering one another to take control of their wellness: physically, mentally, emotionally, socially.... YOU are welcome here. Im so blessed to have joined b.well 2 years ago -- each instructor is fantastic, the ladies are welcoming, and the classes leave me sweaty and wanting more!!

I’ve loved b.well from my first class. Everyone is so welcoming. I am not personally a mother but majority of the members are and it is so refreshing to see how welcome everyone’s little ones are in the studio. I can only imagine how hard it is to balance everything as a mother and to see instructors entertaining members kids so the mos can get their workout in is truly representative of the “ women supporting women” environment at b.well. Take a chance and I promise you will love it!

I love their on-demand videos, that I can follow virtually. Their 20 minute workout option is a perfect amount for me. As my 6 month old lets me.workout 20 minutes peacefully 😏.

B.well is more then a place to exercise it is a place of community and support. It is my go to place for working out and fitness, but also my place of encouragement and hope. If you are looking for a great workout full of sweat and fun, you have found your home away from home!
