Healthy Bar Plus — Restaurant in North Bethesda

I tried to get a juice here and it did NOT go well.

I asked the lady behind the counter if there was a juice she recommended based on a particular effect I wanted (anti inflammatory) and she went completely insane.

First she asked me to come sit down and talk with her. I said no, I just want one single juice to-go. She sent someone else to go make my juice and asked how much money I was willing to spend. When I was hesitant, she gave me her card and said I needed to call her later. She said she needed to give me shots that would “make me go to the bathroom.”

I told her again I just wanted one juice. She reached under the counter and grabbed several cartons of juice. She started aggressively telling me I needed to do a 3 day detox and bringing up success stories about how much weight her clients have lost.

I told her I didn’t want to do a juice cleanse and I don’t want to lose weight - just want ONE JUICE.

She lunged across the counter to grab my arm and I jumped back. Since she couldn’t reach me, she leaned across the counter and yelled “BUT YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT LET ME TELL YOU WHY YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.”

At that point, I walked. I didn’t want a cup of juice badly enough to let a stranger fat shame at top volume in the lobby of an LA Fitness.

So....go here if you want a stranger to shout you into signing up for an expensive juice cleanse that she’ll oversee over the phone while you tell her about your bathroom habits, I guess?

Otherwise:...

UPDATE 3/1/21: After remote working for over a year now, I would usually sprain my elbow and wrist due to my poor ergonomic desk/keyboard position. I changed their positioning many ways with no substantial relief. However, one morning I noticed that my elbow/wrist pain went from noticeable to practically gone. I had not changed anything but drink some of the Healthy Bar's morning juices that were tailored to my needs. It was truly shocking and amazing that my elbow/wrist inflammation were remedied by these powerful juices!!

In order to kickstart my health this year after a not-so-good one in 2020, I finally decided to tryout the Healthy Bar 3 day juice cleanse. I've heard great things from my friends and wanted to try it out. I began by describing my health goals with the staff and they were able to tailor specially designed juices that meet those goals. The team itself are enthusiastic and passionate about their products it's infectious! They provide more than just the juices, they are there throughout your health journey and provide countless helpful tips. I highly recommend checking them out!

PS. You don't have to be an LA Fitness member to access the store, it is located just before the...
