Bikram Yoga Bethesda is a gym and studio Bethesda located in United States.
7832 Wisconsin Ave Bethesda , MD 20814 United States
MEMEMBERSHIP TIME LIMIT - I purchased my package as a new year's gift to myself to get back college shape, I'm a former college cheerleader, and went every week for the first 2 months of the year.
OVERBOOKED - On more than one occasion I have driven all the way from Arlington, only to find out that there isn't enough space in the class I registered for, MORE THAN ONCE!
VERY LIMITED CLASSES AVAILABILITY - This studio only offers one class starting after 6:30 on the weekdays, and there are only four classes on the weekends
what I wasn't told is free parking consisted of four free parking spots in front of the studio on the street, which are monopolized by the studio employees.
New ownership! The revamped studio is amazing. They now give you cool scented clothes at the end of class !
SHEISTY BUSINESS PRACTICES - This studio business model is clear, sell packages, then create every barrier imaginable to ensure customers can't use that package. Sounds likes a winning model to me.
AMENITIES - This place is FAR from upscale studio like CorePower. The "changing room" is basically a single person bathroom with three confined quarters showers for 50+ student classes . Cheap !!!!
I could actually see this same front desk girl in the back through the front door window and my yoga bag and stuff clearly leaning on the front desk.
CATTINESS - The women staff at Pure Om are unbelievably catty. One day I was shampooing my hair in the Pure Om showers and apparently I was the last person in the studio that day.
SALES AGGRESSIVENESS - I receive at least five emails per day from Pure Om about some promotion they are running, it is beyond a nuisance.
In February I ruptured my achilles and had to recover for 6 months. Be mindful that you only get 12 MONTHS TO USE YOUR PACKAGE (no exceptions permitted).
I am POSITIVE this was done intentionally. I left the matter at that for fear of getting beat up, seriously. Just one example of many.
Check out Elizabeth's class , she is exceptional! Better yet go to bikram yoga takoma park , its so much better there.
After I healed the studio flat-out refused to extend my package use window by more than an additional 30 days, despite my being injured for 6 months.
Intro $33 for 11 day or $99 for 30 day unlimited. Inviting space with free filtered water and lots of regulars.
The girl at the front desk kept inquiring of my completion status, like every 10 seconds.
Apparently, I was taking too long thus holding her up from closing down the studio to leave for the day, despite the fact that there was a packed house that day and long lines to use the shower .
VERY UNSANITARY - You HAVE to bring shower shoes , Lysol spray, AND toilet paper.
The next time I was there, I forgot my bag and went to my car only to return to a locked door.
NO PARKING - I was told before purchasing my package that there was free parking for customers,
It took literal crying to even get the 30 days. When I asked through email, phone, and in person several times to speak with the owner, I was ignored.
Best intro special in town : $25 for 6 classes in 30 days!
Phenomenal class with Pierre!
+1 for the eucalyptus soap!
A nice studio that doesn't smell!
Adam P. is the bomb!
Worst studio ever. EVER!!!!!!!!
This was the best spin class I've taken since I left NY!!! I highly recommend it. - Theresa LaRocca
What do you do for exercise. Left weights. But what about cardio? I lift weights faster. - Jessica Lake
It's a cool gym, not too big but it has all that you need. The staff is awesome specially the guy in the front desk. Free and big parking, free wifi. - Carolina Morales
