Body By Simone

LOVE BBS. I’m fairly new but I love this place. The trampoline class is a great cardio work out that you can smile and laugh through as there is something very nostalgic about jumping on a trampoline. I love the full body and HBT classes as well. I particularly like Nicole’s taste in music and her classes. I hope they add more trampoline classes in the morning and full body in the am since I have to be at work by 9 and a lot of their classes end at 9. otherwise, LOVE!

BBS is great, but its not perfect.
I’m only writing a review because when I started going I really wasnt sure what to expect. If you want to see the kind of dance moves in the class, go look up the studio instagram. they post a lot of videos so you can see the style. I soulcycle a lot, and part of what i like about spinning is that its non impact. Each of BBS’s classes has a high impact component and the dance cardio is entirely high impact. I think they say their trampoline is low impact because of the cushioning from the trampoline, but you are still lifting both feet off the ground. If you are a runner or a dancer already, i think this is probably a good fit. if you are not used to high impact exercise you will probably find this challenging and your calves may be sore the first couple times from all the jumping.
all that said, the dance routines are fun, the teachers are really nice. it can get a bit intimidating because its starting to get a little cliquey with the people who go all the time, so new people might feel even more discouraged, but they do offer a class that breaks down the routine and its generally easy to learn after 2 classes.
the studio has a shower, but it is not a changing room. there are 2 showers and they have a flimsy curtain in front of them, and the room (the size of a closet) also has the washer/​dryers in it. i know they had a lot of feedback about people not wanting to take the morning classes because there were no showers, but this is barely a solution. the one time i showered there after class, they came in to load the laundry, there was no privacy to get dressed and then the little vanity outside had no outlets so i couldnt even dry my hair there.
personally, i think the classes are some of the best and hardest workouts out there. but parts of the experience keep me from going back as much as i’d like to.

Run, don’t walk to Body By Simone. If you love to get your dance on to pumpin’ beats then this is the place to be. The studio is gorgeous and the staff is super welcoming. The instructors are also extremely friendly & knowledgeable. Simone’s energy is infectious. I’m a SoulCycle fan, but I feel like I’ve been overburning my legs so cardio dance is an awesome alternative. It’s a high intensity full body cardio workout to awesome music!

The nicest bunch of fit ladies ever! Not only are the receptionist ladies nice, but all the teachers/​trainers are positive, supportive and cheery. I have taken both class & personal training with a variety of the ladies and honestly can’t pick a favorite. On top of that, Simone herself likes to do your first training to assess and plan — and guess what. SHE IS SUPER NICE TOO! I say all this with sore legs, abs and arms b/​c THEY STILL WORK YOU HARD!!! If i go broke w all the training & classes here, i’ll at least be one fit broke lady.

How are there only two reviews of BBS so far? Body By Simone is AMAZING. It’s the hardest cardio dance class that I’ve ever taken. I don’t mean technically hard, but just non-​stop, intense, cardio dancing for 60 minutes! I love it! I wish the packages were a bit more affordable, but the instruction you get is top-​notch! I’ve taken classes by Simone and Tracy Jai and both are excellent instructors.

Great workouts, fun vibe, and a beautiful open air studio. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this place as I’m not into frou frou workouts and wasn’t sure what it was. I want to get in and get out and be as efficient as possible, and was surprised to say that I got an amazing workout in the trampoline classes. I have an injured foot so I can no longer run, and this is a great, gentler way to get the same cardio without the impact on my foot. Super fun, high energy, and some good toning exercises as well. The redefine classes are great too– just a little easier– so are good if you don’t necessarily want an overly hard workout, but still want to be challenged! Instructors are very sweet and motivating!
