I asked the barista if she could also make a matcha version and she hadn't done it before, but happily said she'd make it work. Both drinks were festive and fun, and pretty good. The space doubles as a fitness studio and we happened to arrive just as a class was wrapping up. Good timing on our part, because the line got long fast once it did. Staff was friendly throughout even as it got busy. Oh, and it's dog friendly too... the barista happily greeted my daughter's dog, milk bone included. Cute spot with a real community feel to it.

I signed up for a trial and loved it! Svetlana is an attentive and knowledgeable teacher. The class sizes are very small and she takes the time to make sure everyone is getting the most out of the classes. She varies the class from week to week and makes use of all the various props. I always leave feeling great! I mostly take the pilates mat classes but have also enjoyed taking the PiYo classes. The class prices are extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend this studio for pilates and other aerobic style classes.

I was basically paying $30 a month for a gym membership that got me nowhere. You can go and cheat. Just go on your phone and just fool yourself. As a new member I can tell you that everyone from the front desk staff to the trainers are all super friendly. The classes are not intimidating but it definitely burns calories as well as teaching you about boxing and the different moves. My only regret is that I didn't join sooner! A big shout out to my instructor Allen who is just amazing and motivated. He keeps everyone on their feet and makes class exciting. Also a big thank you to Sensei Phil. His classes are great.

Her break down of challenging poses is sooo helpful. You feel truly embraced...very healing. Thank you Jana...you are gifted

I still go regularly, along with following some nutrition guidance and doing personal work, and I honestly couldn't be more positive about my experience. I hate working out. I hate physical activity. Yet I genuinely look forward to going to Smart Bodies. The people are wonderful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and I never feel judged. Everything is tailored to what I need. I can walk in, tell the trainer a practical goal--like being able to lift my luggage into an overhead compartment or hiking a mile--and they build a program specifically to help me achieve it. Smart Bodies has made fitness feel approachable and achievable, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Smart Bodies has been there for me to get me strong again during and after 2 years of chemo and were my team to keep my vision on not only staying strong but getting stronger. When I had doubts that I could reach my weight and fitness goals, those doubts disappeared each time I walked into Smart Bodies and received consistent dedicated personal training, every single time. I also learned that every client can learn to stay strong with whatever setbacks they have. The trainers know how to modify training sessions for individuals at all levels of fitness. I've reached beyond my original goals and appreciate the positive Smart Bodies family vibe. It really is possible to work hard and have fun at the same time!

I committed…read moreto doing it, went online, found a location close to where I would be working today & signed up as a drop in. I have never ever taken a yoga class before so I signed up for a beginner class and I honestly don't know what I thought it was going to be.....but this wasn't it. First, I couldn't find the place. The gps kept saying arrived - but I didn't believe it because it kept taking me to a shopping center. I saw Kohl's, PetSmart and BurgerKing - no way would there be a yoga studio here. But there it was right next to the Spirit Halloween store with a sign as big as day. Ok so all that farting around looking for the place made me late. I walked in literally 3 minutes before the class started. I ran into a young woman who asked if she could assist me. After explaining that I was there for my first class and apologizing for walking in at the zero hour she told me she was the instructor and that she would wait for me while I changed. Ok - so far, so good. (For me anyway, idk about those 13 other people who had to wait for me) The studio is very clean, peaceful, spacious large windows covered with blinds to set the mood and a corner with mats, blankets, blocks & eye pillows in case you forgot yours. This is where it got a little confusing for me. I thought I would get a workout, I thought someone would correct poses & posture, I thought I would break a sweat or at the very least get a killer stretch. Nope, none of the above. The instructor was sweet and did say this was a beginners class which is what I wanted and she stated that she was pregnant and would be going slowly. Ok, all that's fine - but I'm sitting here wondering what I got out of that one hour class, did I do yoga? Or did I sit on a mat inhaling? On top of everything, $15 for a drop in seems pretty expensive when most other places charge between $7 and $10. I don't know if I'll be back. I kind of want to try a different instructor but am worried that if the class is like this one was, I'll be turned off to yoga. But at the same time, I don't like writing poor reviews and they offer so many classes that it could have just been a one off. There were 13 other people in that room so there is a really good possibility that it was just me and I probably just need more than just breathing.

Sweat, fear, apprehension, worry, stress, daily drama and all the b.s. that comes with being an adult. I want to get my heart rate up, twist, turn, pull, stretch, bend, move and leave having nothing left to give. To be honest, I get mad when the class I take has the group sitting around rolling our writs around for an hour. I can do that on my own thank you very much. Enter Justin & Yoga Rebellion. I ended up here because a friend is constantly talking about this place and all the great things that happen in this tiny studio in Haddon Heights. First, I was welcomed in and made to feel at ease - critical for a new person. Second, the studio is clean, intimate and heated. Critical - I hate yoga in the cold. Third, the class was so challenging! Holy CROW Pose! You want a workout, you'll get one here. For me the magic comes from what happens on the mat. When I'm trying to pay attention to the queues, trying to keep the flow, trying to land the pose, trying not to fall, etc ...I am not thinking about anything else. I get out of my head, I quiet my thoughts and leave feeling refreshed. That's the whole point, a reprieve a break from life - even if it is just for an hour. My friend is an amazing yogi. I'm not, I can't do any of those crazy inversions, arm balance sequences, I'm not flexible and I still can't turn myself inside and out. I won't lie, I was intimidated from all that I've heard. There was no need. If you are, don't be. Don't worry about anything other than yourself and your practice. Give it a try, you will be so glad you did. Cheers & Namaste.
