Worst experience I’ve had at a new fitness class. I drove 25 minutes to get to the class and arrived four minutes early, only to be told I couldn’t join because I “needed to be 10 minutes early.” There is absolutely no mention of this as a requirement anywhere on class pass.
As someone who has worked in the boutique fitness industry for four years and takes Lagree weekly, I’ve never encountered a studio that enforces a rule that isn’t clearly stated. The way it was handled was honestly surprising. Instead of being welcoming (especially to a first-time guest), the staff member was dismissive and unfriendly.
I left without being able to take the class I paid for, and the overall attitude made the experience feel unprofessional and uninviting. Really unfortunate for a first impression.

I work night shifts and have to listen to this awful, blasting music starting at 7 AM every single morning. The vibration is so strong that my chairs literally shake. I have no idea how you were even granted permission to operate in a RESIDENTIAL building, but this needs to stop. It’s completely unacceptable and disrespectful to the people who live here!!!

TERRIBLE PLACE! Hailey REFUSED to let us in the class even though we were on time. Rude RUDE person and would not even just check us in so we wouldn’t have to pay. Disgusting person. Fire her.

I’ve been twice. First time the instructor tried to warn me off of class because it was really difficult. I was there with a friend and persisted. She basically ignored me and my friend and paid more attention to the regulars. It was hard but not that hard if you are in shape. The second time I signed up through class pass and when I got there she said sorry we are giving your class to someone else. We don’t get that much from class pass and we get paid more from our regulars She did not count it against my class pass but also I had already driven there. Just a very snotty vibe all around. I wasn’t using class pass to be cheap but to find places I wanted to join.

One of my most favorite workouts in town. If you feel like you have plateaued in your strength training or are just beginning to work out for the first time, this is the best place to go. I love how my core feels days after the class.

After reading some reviews I was hesitant to go but I am so glad I did. There is parking in their building, the instructor was kind and helpful, the place was clean and the workout was challenging. Check it out!

I would not even give them one star. Margo told me to stop being rude when I walked in five minutes early and apologized to her. I literally apologized and thanked her and she said I was being rude bc I was not ten minutes early. Literally like talking to a robot. Nobody home. Save your time and money!

I am unfortunately posting this as I’ve tried to reach out to management twice this week with no response.
We booked a private class with Mega BODI this past Saturday morning for my bachelorette. When we walked into the studio, we were barely even greeted by the instructor. She offered no smile, no excitement, not even a congratulations to me for getting married. I don’t even think she talked to me (the bride) at all.
There were a few girls in my group that had never done Pilates before. I have been doing Pilates for two years, and have always had instructors that show newbies how the machine works and offer modifications for them. There were no modifications offered the entire class , and the whole class was done off the back platform. Which was extremely tough for the girls who have never done this before. I wish the instructor would have discussed with me prior what type of class I would like to have.
When the class began, the instructor started shouting out moves immediately, again with no prior instruction or excitement. Her microphone was not working for the first ten minutes of class, and one of my friends kindly asked her to turn on her mic because we couldn’t hear her and did not know what moves to do, and she rudely told her that she was trying to fix it. She had a conversation with another coworker in the middle of class, just leaving us holding a position for much longer than needed, and just was not present, or kind at all.
When I was doing a move wrong, I had my calves up when they were supposed to be down, she rudely came over to me and shoved my legs down, without saying a thing! I was caught off guard, I have never had an instructor do that to me. At other studios I have been to, they typically ask in the beginning of class if the students are okay with hands-on adjustments and they kindly let you know to adjust your body if you are in wrong form.
From start to finish, it felt like we were a bother to this instructor. I was not asking for any special treatment, but when I paid $400 for this private class, I at least expected kindness and maybe a congratulations from the instructor. I expected maybe her to ask all of our names and how the trip was going, or even offer free socks to the 2 girls who needed them, but this was not the case. The girls who did not bring socks, had never done Pilates before and did not know. The instructor looked at them with disgust and told them they needed to pay for the socks. The attitude was absolutely disrespectful!
It really upset me and all my girls. The behavior was uncalled for and unacceptable for how much we paid for this private experience.
Update: 1 Month later, I emailed them 4 times, without a response to any of my emails. Completely unprofessional. Brides, DO NOT book or pay for a private class here. They will steal your money and ghost you after you leave. Absolutely terrible experience and management unprofessional. Working to get my money back through my bank.

Mega Bodi is one of the best and hardest group workout classes I've ever done. It's very efficient because the machine is able to target multiple muscle groups at the same time.

This is a really intense workout that leaves you feeling proud when you leave. Never tried anything else like it. I have really enjoyed all of the instructors! Catherine is a great instructor to go to for your first class- she’s very thorough and thoughtful. Haley, Margeaux, Vince are all fabulous!

Fine workout if you like lagree, but overall not a positive experience - will not be going back. It was my first class so I arrived early, but could not find the studio ANYWHERE. No signs, no info on website, and no studio phone number. I walk in 5 min early in the end, and they almost didn't let me take the class and kept telling me its "policy" that I had to be there 10-15 min before. All I had to do was initial a form a few times and write down my address. Took 1 minute to do. Class was also half empty so its not like the instructor was busy checking people in and couldn't give me the form. Instructor also didn't talk through form much, so for any beginners, that is a major con. Music was quiet and instructor didnt speak much throughout the class. Will be trying FORM for Lagree pilates next time.

Terrible class. No instruction and it’s so short if you haven’t been to at least several classes you won’t understand what to do. You’re left to look around at everyone else and guess who is the one doing it the most correctly. Definitely don’t see the value in this lagree class. Form was better and at least was long enough to provide a good workout.

Great Lagree studio in Charleston! Visiting from out of town and had a fantastic workout at MegaBodi. Solid routine, excellent instructor, and those signature Lagree shakes were definitely present! Highly recommend.

Went to a class visiting Charleston from out of town this weekend. Clean studio with nice reformers. Catherine the instructor was very helpful and attentive at explaining everything and hands-on corrections would definitely come back next time I’m in Charleston!

MegaBody is hands down the best total body workout in the Charleston area, believe me I’ve done them all! 40 minutes of high intensity, yet low impact leaves me feeling strong, flexible and injury free. After consistent attendance I’ve seen incredible changes in my body including better posture, way more muscle definition in my arms, legs and super toned abs! All the instructors are challenging, motivating, helpful and there is always great music. I highly recommend MegaBody it’s a great community of hard working people- 10/10!

Husband and I did our first class this morning. Hayley was welcoming and wonderful and gave us a great intro to reformer (go early your first time!). She was great with corrections and helping us figure it out. It was really hard I’m super sore right now, but that is good!

Dawn is the best in town!!! I've worked with her in private sessions as well as classes with her other instructors. Best workout I've ever had. I love their hands on approach through out the class! My go to spot! Love you Dawn!

Lisa made this a great experience. She is an instructor who is able to teach a full class and make it feel like it is a one on one session. She is able to add modifications and challenge each individual to their current fitness level. When she is instructing, it is a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend to anyone in the Charleston area!

Dawn, Margaux and Corrine have made me addicted to lagree! I have been going to at-least 3 classes a week since august and am obsessed with the motivation and confidence that the instructors provide. I’m going to miss the intensity of this workout that I cannot find at other lagree studios and I highly suggest trying a class! #deathbydawn

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Mega Bodi regularly for a few months. They're the only largree studio in the area and on par with those I've gone to when living in LA! The workout is hard by nature and effective if you commit to it! I appreciate the instructors brining different movements to each class and providing great cues. No class is like the previous which keeps the workout challenging. It's also low impact and even with shoulder issues I'm able to modify without compromising the workout. If you've never done lagree then I recommended starting with a private class so you're familiar with the machine and slower movements. I'm moving soon and will miss coming to this studio!

I have been coming to Mega Bodi consistently for 8 months. It has toned my muscles in ways I didn’t think were possible. I love being able to slow down and focus on form. Even after all this time I shake like a leaf every class! Best workout!

Hands down, a tough workout, but the results are real! I feel stronger and leaner and well-balanced. I'm obsessed with the Megaformer challenge and the mindset the class requires. Dawn is an excellent instructor who has worked with me since day one and keeps me going.

Was in town visiting paid for first class and arrived 5 minutes late and told very rudely that it was supposed to be there 15 min early which it does not say in the email I checked. My friend who goes regularly was allowed to stay. Turns out she gave our reformers away so no wonder sent us away. Sent email asking for refund and have not heard back x2. Do not recommend.

The best workout class to help you hit your fitness goals! I’ve been consistently going to megabodi for the last 6 months and my physique has completely changed. For the last 2+ years I tried every type of class/workout and none of them gave me the results I’ve seen from this workout. Between the time over tension/low impact movements and mind-body connection this workout creates confidence in your physical and mental game. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something new and that wants to be challenged by a hardworking community!

Love this workout! Has helped improve my balance/ strength in the gym and also benefits my endurance while running. My running times have improved and I was able to finish five minutes faster than last year during the bridge run in CHS!

Best Lagree classes BY FAR!! I live in South Beach and go all the time & this Mega Bodi BLOWS IT AWAY - less time of 40 min yet way more intense and my booty was the most sore ever. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you 🙏🥊

This was the most challenging and satisfying Lagree session that I’ve had in a while! Dawn is very precise in her instructions and gives you options from least to more challenging. Love the fact that it’s 40min during which the entire body is covered! It’s the perfect every day training for me. I’ll be back and bring my friends too 😉Thank you.

This is by far one of the hardest and best workouts I’ve ever done. They aren’t kidding when they say you will see your body change in 4 classes. The owner, Dawn, is incredibly knowledgeable about the Lagree method and makes it super easy for beginners to transition from other styles of workouts. I love how the classes are only 40 minutes long and it’s so convenient to get to from mount pleasant. It’s definitely tough but if you have tried everything and haven’t seen results, this will change your body very fast!

Method 29403 has given me incredible and satisfying results with my outward physique and strength. I am challenged in each class and can feel my core being strengthened from the workouts. I highly recommend for anyone, no matter where you are on your fitness journey!
