From the reviews
Best gym in Belleville! I've been getting my sweat on. I lost 50-lbs starting Sep 2016 to January 2017. The staff is great and they really do care about your health and safety.
Belleville Health & Sports Center is the best gym in the area. The staff is terrific. From the time you walk in the door, there is a friendly face to welcome you. What are you in the mood for?
Belleville Health Club & Sports Center is the coolest gym around. The director, Marsha, is one of the nicest people I've ever met. They have an extensive variety of classes to meet the needs of people with all different abilities and goals.
I started a new gym journey this year. BHSC has exceeded my expectations by far! Numerous classes (some for additional charge, some not), friendly instructors/staff, VERY clean… and NON-for profit! Love it here!! Trisha has been more than accommodating!
Your first tai chi class at Belleville Health & Sports Center
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
