I mean, what more can you ask for?’ Anna Desmarais, Body & Seoul founder where we are now,” she says. “New classes will be offered, too, along with extra sessions of the old favor- ites like FightFit and yoga, and we’ll even be able to start teaching a few in Korean for those less comfort- able with English.” Despite all the changes, Body & Seoul members will still enjoy the same prices and payment plans as be- fore, and new members will be welcomed with more than a few perks. “We’ve got some specials coming up for newbies only,” Desmarais says. “Come try us out!” Body & Seoul’s new location is above Tous Les Jours in Gyeongnidan and opened last month. Monthly membership fees are based on class attendance per week, starting at 65,000 won (you’ll get a discount if you pay for multiple months at a time) and going up to 160,000 won for an unlimited membership. A 20,000 won start-up fee is also required, but it’s waived if you sign up for two months or more. If you just want to drop in for a look, that’s okay, too — 15,000 won is all you need for a one-class pass.
