1 /5 Wcc: I really wanted to like this studio, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing due to a lack of communication and connection. At my very first session, I wasn’t guided on where to go or which class I was booked into. A fellow client, not the staff, was the one who told me to put my bag in the locker.
While the instructor seemed knowledgeable, she showed no smile or warmth, which made the class feel unwelcoming. At the end, we were simply handed disinfectant spray and asked to wipe down the equipment, there was no thank you or goodbye, which left the whole experience feeling awkward.
I gave the studio multiple chances and even tried to enquire about booking more sessions and their teacher training program. However, the responses I received were vague and incomplete, leaving me with the impression that my interest wasn’t valued.
Sadly, the overall atmosphere felt dismissive, even arrogant, and as someone who isn’t Korean, I couldn’t help but feel out of place. This was disappointing, as I had high hopes for J Body Balance. I really hope the studio takes time to reflect on its approach to customer service. It’s not just about being polite once you do respond, it’s really about the entire customer experience. Right now, the message that comes across is, “We are superior, and people will come to us regardless.” however, it seems like the studio is perhaps struggling to retain clients given the recent policy changes and packages on offer.
