She knows how my body works. I would recommend her to anyone but particularly to individuals of my age. Take the time and make the effort to do Pilates, I did and worked for me!!!!! Dorothy

Disappointing experience. As a first timer recommended by a friend, I had to leave several messages…read moreon the VM that then took 2 weeks to get a response. Was on vaca when they called so called back and had a really poor, condescending experience from Jessica who made an excuse about trying to leave a VM etc etc and was just really rude. Was so psyched to try them out but was so turned off by Jessica I will look elsewhere. Won't give them my business.

A lovely, comfortable and low-key studio. Everyone feels welcome. I've gotten Gyrotonic sessions…read morefrom Darcy and highly recommend them and her - helped a lot with muscle tightness and pain and just overall well being.

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!

I was new to Yoga so I signed up for Bobbi's classes with a completely open-mind. Within 4 sessions…read moreI could see that Bobbi does not plan routines for classes and seems to "wing it" as she goes along. Because of this I never saw any growth or challenge in my yoga and after 15 sessions got real tired of her use of only a few basic poses (pigeon pose was one of them) If you aren't limber she will push you down into the pose until you literally have to yell STOP! (not only does this hurt it can cause injury) Bobbi has her followers but she recently had to move and downsize her studio, another clue that things aren't what they should be there. My advice: go for one or two sessions then decide for yourself.

What a fabulous yoga studio. Bobbi manages to accomodate lithe young teens and twenty somethings…read moreand plenty of baby boomers with imperfect bodies and knee and back issues. Nice variety of classes for all levels from those new to yoga (basic classes) to strength classes and pilates for everyday folks and super athletic types. The restorative yoga classes are relaxing and a nice choice for tennis types looking to balance their workouts as well as plenty of people who are out of shape, elderly, or recovering from an injury. excellent location with free parking in the adjacent lot tucked into the shops, galleries and cafes of Chestnut Hill.

First- well equipped - great pools great staff Cleaned…read morewell. Great classes. Next - so corporate that left hand / right hand can't figure out how to hold a pencil. Members not consulted about changes. They just come from above. music in gym & outdoor pools outrageously loud. Most people have their own headsets & music. But can't be heard. & no amount of requests seem to yield results. This person says that person that person say oh it's from there. Etc. Equipment disappears- you like it? Too bad. It's gone. So it's a lot of $ - maybe worth it particularly if you are a swimmer

I had been happily attending until a series of negative events caused me to cancel my membership…read more It started with my nephew who had been involved in kids Academy, and wound up breaking his arm there. He reported, slipping and falling on something wet, which leads me to believe that the facilities weren't being properly monitored for cleanliness and safety around children. The following week, my son fell in his lip was busted, but the team in charge of kids academy really had no explanation as to how that happened either. Finally, in an attempt to relax recently, I chose to enjoy the steam room and hot tub on site. Both rooms had mold on the floor, and when I went to take a shower, I found that someone had detangled their hair and smeared it on the wall of the shower and that no one had bothered to clean it up. At over $200 a month for the membership you would expect that maintenance will be available and that I would not have had hair balls flying at me when I tried to get in the shower, but that is not the case. I reported this issue to the front desk and they gave me the email address to their manager. Unfortunately, I was given the wrong email address and the email bounced back. I copied the overarching Life Time email address in my communication and all I received was an automated email saying that my membership has been canceled. No acknowledgment of my experiences there. Extremely disappointing.

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!

My body is so grateful I discovered Lynda Lippin! 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!
