The workout is great!! Very similar to solidcore but a less intense atmosphere (in a good way). The instructors are also very nice and the studio is also very clean. I'm on my 70th-ish class and still find the classes fun and challenging. However, i really wish that the instructors as a whole gave more corrections. I think I've received one correction in my past 30 something classes and out of the three pilates and lagree studios I've regularly attended, that is by far the least. For some reason this seems to be a newish-thing, since I first tried btone a year and a half ago and the instructors were much more involved/communicative back then. For the price of the classes this is really disappointing and honestly harming students in the long run. Also, this studio doesn't seem the best managed. For example, one of the reformers has been missing a floor strap for at least three months and it doesn't seem like there's been any initiative to fix this even though there are some exercises you frankly can't do without the part.
These classes are just the right amount of brutal! I started with the intro offer and did about 7 classes in 2 weeks. Enjoyed them so much I now am on the 2/week monthly plan. Instructors are encouraging and helpful, each class is different and challenging in its own way. Studio is always clean and classes are never too big. If you get a monthly pass, the price becomes quite reasonable in comparison to other similar studios.
Would highly recommend trying Btone if you’re looking for a strength base training class - it’s a great mix between Pilates and Barre as it’s a lot of small movements. All of the instructors have been great at making sure that you are comfortable with using the machine, demonstrating each exercise and walking around to ensure each person is doing the exercise correctly. The classes are challenging but you leave feeling great!
I have never enjoyed working out and on and off over the years have tried to do different things. It was always ok at first, for the first few weeks, and then I would slowly stop. Btone has transformed the way i view exercising. I have been doing it for months now and love it. I always look forward to the class, which in itself is a miracle. The class is enjoyable and very effective. I feel so much stronger since I started the class. I used to have back pain too and, within a month, it was gone. I highly recommend it.
Highly recommend!! My cousin introduced me to Btone about 2 months ago and I have been hooked since! I truly enjoy taking these classes, I always look forward to working out now! All of the instructors are very friendly and helpful!
Btone is my favorite low impact workout! The classes are challenging but the instructors do a great job of demonstrating / explaining proper form for all of the moves. I can always count on getting a full body workout in just a 45 min class. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Btone. I initially signed up for the 3-class starter pack which I quickly upgraded to a month of unlimited classes because I enjoyed the first one so much. Now I go 3x per week. The classes are very challenging but also lots of fun. They are never repetitive or boring. The 45 minutes truly flies by. Best of all, I’ve seen results fairly quickly and I always feel great after class! I’ve worked with a number of the instructors at this point, and I have enjoyed them all. I also really like the music selections.
Btone has made me feel stronger. I was so anxious to go to my first class, but the instructor made me feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. They gave me plenty of modifications during class. Btone is one of the most challenging workouts I have ever done & I love that it is low impact. Recommend for anyone looking to tone and strengthen.
