If you read any other fitness blogs I am sure you have already seen a few reviews about pv.Body. But in case you haven’t, or if you just want to hear my two cents about it, I figured I would write one too. Mostly because I think it is an awesome idea!
I first learned of pv.Body through a blog post by Athlete in Me. For a monthly fee of $49.95 (I was lucky enough to sign up before the price increase. Word on the street is they increased the price because they will be getting Lululemon!) they will send you a 2 piece fitness outfit! In many ways pv.Body is like the other monthly fitness subscriptions that you can sign up for. Like all the others you sign up and wait patiently for your package to arrive.
Pretty in pink!
What sets pv.Body apart from all the other subscription services is the value and customization that is included with the subscription. When you sign up for pv.Body you take a style quiz so they can send you items that are perfect for you. When I took the quiz I was deemed an “epic athlete” – sounds good to me!
And here is what I got!
The top is a spin tee from Electric Yoga which retails for $69 and the leggings are from Nux which retail for $59. I got both for $39.95!! Now that is a great value! Both are very comfortable, stylish and perfect for my workouts. They both fit me perfectly but I am happy to know if something doesn’t, I can exchange it!
I am very happy with the clothes I got and plan to keep my subscription, however, I do have to mention that I think the demand for pv.Body is growing more rapidly than they can currently keep up with it. When I placed my order I used a 20% off code and for some reason the code didn’t take and I did not receive the discount. I contacted pv.Body by email on December 1st and I still have not heard back from them nor have I received a refund. It also took quite awhile to get my package after I ordered it and I have heard the same complaint from others. I also have not yet received my free t-shirt that was included for signing up.
The bottom line is I think pv.Body is a great concept and I am willing to wait a little while for them to work out the kinks.
I am looking forward to my next package!
Do you have a subscription to pv.Body? What do you think of it? If you don’t, have you thought about signing up?
I have a love/hate relationship with PV Body– I started with them in October and it took a couple of weeks to get my first package but nothing fit right. It took a very long time to get my label, send it back and then get the new package in return. I called, emailed, and sent messages via FB. My 2nd package took a month from the billing date till I got it which I felt was totally wrong. You shouldn’t be paying for a product and then waiting a month to get it. I canceled and then I was finally able to talk to someone on the phone who made things a little better. I’ve since gotten my free tank, have sent my tank from my 2nd package back and have been billed for my 3rd package (I decided to give it one more try) I’m planning to call this week to check on my top as I sent it back 2 weeks ago. Phone is the best bet– don’t bother sending emails they have so much going on over there.
Ugh. That’s no good. Yes, I should give them a call. I just prefer email since my time is limited. Hope things get worked out for you.
I don’t have a subscription but it’s very tempting. Cute clothes!
They are cute!
I felt 100% the same.
Im willing to wait while they dekink!
I love the idea of this! Like Mama says, it’s very tempting!
It’s definitely very tempting. I’ve heard that the returns are also pretty difficult – and I’m concerned b/c I usually have to try running clothes on to see how they fit – I wear different sizes depending on brand so I am pretty sure I would have quite a few exchanges. Thanks for the honest review!!!
PS. Your outfit is adorable!
I had someone comment that they had problems with returns too. I am crossing my fingers that they work out the kinks, it is such a great concept!
Maybe try to contact them again? I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with PV Body along with their customer service – that is very unlike them not to respond!
Glad to hear your experience has been positive. I do need to take the time to contact them again to resolve it.
I hear ya, I got my November and December packages within 2 weeks of each other, and right before the holidays, so I haven’t been able to exchange the shirts (not really my fit or cup of tea). Here’s hoping it goes smoothly. I loved both pairs of pants and for someone who wears workout clothes to chase around a toddler it is a good price. I also need to nag about the discounted price and free shirt haha. Have a great NYE, Betsy!
Hope it goes smoothly too! Happy New Years!
That’s a very cute outfit! I hope you get your issue resolved soon. The company seems great. Maybe try emailing them again, maybe the email got lost or went in junk mail by accident? You never know.
I really enjoy the service, BUT just had my first problem. I received the same pair of tights as my last shipment (so far I’ve received 3 shipments). I’ve emailed but haven’t heard back, I’m happy I stopped by your post to see the advice to give a call. I’m going to do that right now. Otherwise, I’ve really liked what I’ve received, it fits my “fitness style” and it’s high quality gear.
Hey.. you got super cute clothes!
Yeah, it’s a new company. They take a while replying back. Hope things work out for you. I have high hopes for this company. If anyone wants to sign up, this link (http://pvbody.com/try/athleteinme) will give you 20% off. 
Thanks!
BEWARE of this company. Read thru all the negative comments on Sarah’s post!
