bodyFi

This is an awesome place to workout. A good fine if you are with class pass. I have mainly done the 45 minutes circuit training strength class with Monica, but it’s a good 45 minutes. It will definitely keep your body moving. She even does little modifications each week so it’s not the same workout. You’ll leave like you accomplished something each workout.

Susan is my pilates instructor for Bodyfi. She is amazing. She always asks if you have any injury and because I had shoulder surgery, she is very careful to modify my workout. Bodyfi in the financial is my dream location. Because of the people who work there and Susan — I really enjoy going to the gym and working out. The facility is tops, the equipment is tops but the instructors and the staff are what make that location the best.
Try them, you will not be disappointed.

I love Body-​Fi. I have been doing pilates for for three years and my muscles are poppin, I am flexible, and happy. Susan is the greatest trainer and Olivia is super as well. Jim Kushner

I would give Bodyfi extra stars if I could. I started taking classes here a year ago a month after I sprained my ankle, and I’m glad I did. I feel so much stronger, and my fitness level has definitely increased. I was even able to do a Spartan race six months after I started going to this gym!
The sessions last 30 minutes, but they are very intense and perfect for getting something quick in after work. You can choose from a variety of options: TRX, BOSU, ViPR, Kettlebell, HIIT, and even pilates… These workout are no joke; if you really try your hardest you will feel and see the results within weeks.
The best part about Bodyfi is the trainers. Melyss, Justin, and Devin are my favorites. They are all very dedicated, and keep an eye on everyone during class to make sure no one gets injured. I was also very impressed by Monica and Danny lately.
Stop making excuses and check out Bodyfi — it is worth your money and your time!

Amazing place to get a quick workout in after work and go home. I use to go to BodyFi when it was located on Washington st. I would say the new location is about the same size.
The main studio is a little smaller but that doesn’t mean the classes are lacking in any way. I’ve only taken the TRX class here and it will kick your butt. I love that it’s only 30 mins and you’ll feel the burn snd soreness right after. I always find myself dripping in sweat in the middle of my plank. What an amazing feeling! The classes are for all levels, so don’t feel discouraged.
Locker room: Compared to before, it was just in the hallway. Now, there’s a room for it. BRING A LOCK to lock your personal items but i haven’t found any problems when I forget mine.

This review is for the massage. Erik is a great masseur. I’ve been going to him for over a year and he does an excellent job with the sports /​deep tissue style. Most times when I get a deep tissue massage, I continually have to tell the person to go harder and where to focus, but with Erik, the pressure is consistent and he quickly finds the source of pain. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I found the TRX class challenging, Monica the instructor inspiring and front desk staff helpful. I’m going back again this week to make this part of my routine.

I took the reforers pilates class and the instructor was a little too laxed for me. She asked us to do a lot of exercises without properly talking about form and what parts we were working on. A little disappointed considering my high expectations when looking at the reviews for this place.

I’ve only tried the TRX classes and the Training Day: Strength Circuit+ class with Devin. I really like these classes as they’re short, effective, and always keep you moving so there’s never a dull moment. There’s not much resting time in between sets so you’re able to keep your heart rate up throughout the class. These classes are full body workouts so you work your core, arms, back, legs… everything! Like any workout, it’s only as good as what you put in, so if you really try your hardest with each move you’ll feel and see the results (like when they tell you to do as many reps of X as you can in 30 seconds you really do as many as you can). Definitely worth a try!

Only been here once and review for TRX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really liked that they had a 30 min option because after work, it’s nice to get something quick in, particularly on a Friday when you have to get ready for the pregame and wanna look fly in your crop top, without being too dead to shake it on the dance floor ya know?
Anyways, the studio is pretty underwhelming. Is it a studio, a gym, a physical therapy office? Not sure. Not sure they know either. Kinda the main reason for my –1. The dressing room for example was just a room with half of it covered in a sheen curtain. The studio where the class was was good, but nothing impressive.
The class itself, of course the most important, was really good! I thought 30 minutes, aite coool, ez pz, but every single minute was spent on something. I really appreciated that. Also, the format was nice. 20 – 30 seconds for each move, 3 moves, 3 sets. So while the plank might kill for 30 seconds, you’re done, and now onto squats. I broke a sweat.
I’d return! Thanks Monica!

My review is only for the Pilates class (or more specifically, the instructor, Kapri). I’ve been to their TRX, Tabata, Kettlebells and HIIT 25-​minute classes, and those are all great.
I have never had such a laughably unenthused and rude instructor. She very clearly did not want to be there, and yawned visibly at least ten times during the 45-​minute class (or 40-​minute class, since she ended the class early). She gave all instructions in a monotonous tone, and instead of explaining each move, she would just repeat the same instruction over and over again until one of the students figured it out, and the others would follow suit. She was noticeably irritated and would scoff and roll her eyes every time anyone did anything incorrectly, which let’s face it, happens when the teacher isn’t demonstrating any of the moves. I felt pretty unsafe in the class since she didn’t bother giving any corrections, and I was probably doing some of the moves incorrectly (at one point she had us do what she called «the jackrabbit,» where she wanted us to lift our legs up into shoulder stand while having our feet in the straps… this does not sound safe for any beginners, let alone with a teacher who doesn’t bother correcting your form).
Even after class, a couple of the other students were talking about how terrible they thought the class was. I should have read the reviews before signing up, because it doesn’t seem like it’s her first time treating her students poorly. What a terrible experience.

I used to love coming here for the pilates classes, but ever since I started going doing Lagree workouts at Core40 and other megaformer studios around the bay, these pilates classes were a complete yawn for me. I did everything I could to make them harder, but everything felt too easy. Moreover, the instructor I used to like left the studio, and the instructor that replaced her was a complete disappointment. I think I honestly would’ve preferred just stretching for 45 minutes.
Sadly, as much as I wanted to give the classes a second and third chance, I eventually gave up and started trying out the TRX classes. A little more of a workout, but still not quite the challenge or intensity for anyone who works out a decent amount. Plus, every class felt the exact same in terms of routine and exercises, so it got pretty boring fast.
They’re on ClassPass though so I’d say they’re good if you’re just getting into a workout routine or enjoy less intense classes.

There’s two main reasons that I’ve chosen to give bodyFi 1 star.
1. The Pilates class was terrible. To start, the reformers are laughably outdated and so old that they creak when you do standard Pilates exercises on them. And, if you’ve ever been on an ancient reformer, you are aware of how tiny and uncomfortable they are. That alone is enough to prevent me from returning. But to add to that, the instructor was also rude and disrespectful to the class. She kept rolling her eyes when someone wouldn’t execute a move in perfect form, and even went so far as, «we aren’t moving on to the next sequence until everyone gets this right. Clean it up». She was also playing music off of her phone (which we couldn’t hear), and complained at least five times about how much she «hated» the songs.
At one point in class, she said «lower your head rest». When a lady in class didn’t lower hers, the instructor repeated (this time in a mean tone), «LOWER your head rest», then proceeded to walk over to the lady’s reformer and slam her head rest down.
After class, a couple of the attendees came up to me and mentioned how horrible they thought the class was. It was a bad experience, and I considered walking out of the class several times. Spare yourself the agony and just go somewhere else.
2. The layout of the gym is awkward. It looks like it’s supposed to be an office building (there’s even an elevator to get up to the gym after buzzing in the front entrance). There’s a women’s «changing» room, which is just a closet with a curtain on it. And the ceilings in the Pilates class were noticeably low with florescent lighting. It was an uncomfortable experience all around.

Terrible. Clean facility. Small «locker room» of you can really call it that. Only has a curtain blocking you from the main gym and has insecure cubbies for your belongings. Just asking to be stolen. Shower is only for certain members.
Classes are just a half hour with little to no warm up or cool down. Instructor doesnt carefully watch people and is jus asking for an injury.
Terrible experience. Terrible instructor. I will never go back. And cost more money that a facility that does hour long classes. Truly a rip off

Small location on the second floor of the building. I took a Starter Pilates class here. Small class of just about six machines. I’m used to the reformers at Proworks, so this was a little different, but the instructor was super nice and helped adjust the machine when I looked troubled/​perplexed during the class. Quite a challenging workout even for beginning level. I would definitely come back. Don’t forget to bring your own lock!

This place used to be great until one of its best Pilates instructor left. Since then, its Pilates classes have become too easy to the point of almost being boring.
After not going to the studio for a few months, I decided to give it another shot to see if new and better instructors have joined.
I got caught up at work and arrived at a 5:30pm class at 5:31pm only to find that they gave away my spot. I was never told that they have this policy and for them to give away my spot after 1 minute is just unacceptable to me. Maybe a 3 minute grace period would be nice?
Anyways, I am done with this studio and all studios that bear the BodyFi name.

Not even sure where to start. This was probably the most awkward workout I’ve ever had. I tried the Pilates: Start class. To get to the studio you take an elevator up and upon exiting the elevator, the front desk is located to your left. When I arrived, there were two people sitting at the front desk and a girl standing next to it on her phone (who ended up being the instructor). Everyone just stared at me and no one greeted me until I asked if I was in the right place. Finally one of the girls tells me that my class is down the hall.
It was 5 minutes past the scheduled start of the class and the room was dark and there was still no one there. There were two other girls taking the class and both of them were just as confused. Finally, the instructor comes and tells us to lay down on the reformers without even introducing herself. I asked the instructor if she could go over how to use the reformer since I’ve never used the one they have, and she said «Just lay down.» The class was Pilates: START, which is their beginner class so you would think the instructors would show you the basics. Throughout the workout, the music is barely audible so we’re just listening to each other breath and move on the reformers. Very very awkward. That’s not even the worst part. The instructor was on her phone the entire time. There were even pauses when we weren’t doing anything because we were waiting for her next cue. She also kept yawning in between sentences. I seriously considered getting up and leaving but only stayed because I didn’t want to be rude. But honestly, I just wasted an hour of my life.
Definitely will not be back.

2.5 review.
Just ok. The space is quite small, and almost has a sterile, office-​like quality to it. There are several rooms dedicated to different workouts/​machines, such as TRX and pilates.
I took the Pilates reformer class and found it to be entirely too easy. The reformer machines were also squished into the small room; mine was even diagonal to accommodate the door. The instructor was nice enough but the class was very simple and I have a bit of a pet peeve with instructors who sit and teach, if I want that kind of passive instruction I would just go on Youtube.
I might try the TRX classes since they seem to have better reviews, but I didn’t enjoy the vibe of the studio in general.

I have tried out bodyFi via ClassPass and have been pleased with the variety of classes offered.
I have tried some HIIT classes as well as Pilates. Friendly and encouraging instructors with small class sizes.
Downside of this place is there is no towel service and the showers are in the bathroom. Limited dressing room area as well.
No frills type of place. Get in get out. Sweat and get on with the rest of your day.

So excited that I discovered bodyFi in the Financial District. I started going here through my ClassPass membership, but shortly switched over to the Studio itself. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of their trainers! This is HIGH end fitness studio with variety of offerings like TRX, ViPR and Pilates classes, as well as my new favorite Personal Training sessions with Devin Nagata. Devin is an amazing trainer who not only works with you on your fitness, he takes a wholistic approach and educates you on nutrition and overall wellness as part of your fitness & wellness plan. So glad I got the 10 pack deal!!!

I love, love, love bodyFi. It’s a block away from my office, so there’s no excuse for not getting in a good workout! I’ve taken the TRX, core and Pilates classes, and they are challenging. Be prepared to get your sweat on.
The only drawback to this gym is that the locker room is really tiny!

This review is for ViPR!
Overall, really good class! I felt that wonderful soreness settle in afterwards that meant I got a good workout.
The positive:
— 30 min class that still kicks your butt
— small class format with an instructor who corrects everyone’s form (he fixed mine a few times because I can’t tell my left from my right apparently, whoops)
— nice variations in the exercises leading to a full body workout
— the ViPR! I’m a fan as you can do so many varieties of exercises with it.
— SUPERFUN PLAYLIST
The not great:
— no warm up or warm down. Ack! And there’s no space to really do your own stretches either, as there is usually a class in front of you and no time to warm up. And forget about warming up in the lobby. It’s jam packed.
— no frills, which I’m okay with but I’d kill for just a set of hand towels instead of lugging over my own
Overall I still think this is great value for your time and money. I’ll just suck it up when I go again and warm up awkwardly on the sidewalk outside.

I took the Basic TRX class through Classpass, but I don’t think I will be coming back either through them, or for classes directly through bodyfi.
One would think that if you are being ‘required’ to take a basics class before anything else within a studio, they would walk you through how to use the equipment at the beginning of class, along with the premise of the particular workout. At bodyFi, at least this time, they just get you right into class. I get that the classes are supposed to be short and high intensity, but you risk injury if you don’t know what you are doing. I was really glad that I had taken some TRX before at other studios, because I would have felt apprehensive otherwise, and I definitely got that from the energy of the class. Also, there was no real stretch/​cooldown at the end of class, which is odd.
The real bonus was when the instructor used the term ‘cholo bikes’ in the middle of class to attempt to describe something. Definitely unprofessional, and a little bit racist, regardless of what his ethnic makeup is. To be fair, he was actively walking around the class and giving modifications and corrections to people as they needed them, rather than just staying up and the front the whole time.
I wound up chatting with one of the girls in the class after class, and she agreed that she felt lost during a good part of the class, so I know I wasn’t alone.
The facilities seem clean, and the manager was very nice and gave a quick tour of the place before class started. Changing room (at least for the ladies) was a little cramped, but i felt safe leaving my stuff in there.
Classes are relatively inexpensive — apparently about $ 10-​$ 30/​class from what I can figure, so this might be the perfect way to fit some classes into an otherwise busy schedule. Not sure if it’s the right fit for me, however.

The staff is really nice and the classes with Kevin are super fun.
Great options for 30 min and 45 min classes.
Love to be able to do a lunch work out.
Needing to use the elevator to getting to tho studio is a pain in the buttocks
The floor in the exercise room could really be cleaned every day
Warming up pre-​work out and stretching options after would be a great add — on

I love this studio and have become a fitness fanatic after joining. Prior to BodyFi, I was intimidated by the gym either because I was out of shape, or, once I got in shape, because the gyms were so crowded that I never knew if I would get a machine.
I joined BodyFi in late 2012 and it was one of my best decisions ever! I now frequent the FiDi location 3−5x a week! BodyFi has an excellent staff.
I love Celeste’s classes. I attend her pilates reformer mostly but also love her studio mat classes when they are offered. I basically take whatever Celeste is teaching. She is extremely knowledgeable on a variety of topics related to health, including but not limited to breathing techniques, posture, routines, muscle groups, nutrition, and massage! She is an amazing instructor.
I also think Devon holds the best studio classes. I go to these when I need a really good workout and sweat. The training day and TRX are my favorites as they are the best in terms of workout, they are always fun, and he includes everyone. He is a great asset to the staff and is always very friendly, professional, and extremely motivational! I always laugh at his classes and never regret going (even though I feel like I am going to die during them).
BodyFi is a great business and I am so grateful I found them!
