The studio has an intimate atmosphere and has the full range of equipment to teach classes on the Reformer, the Barre and the Mat. Amanda asks each student what aches...is sore... or needs work and she adapts the workout so we get the maximum benefit. If you're looking to improve your balance...work on your core...increase your overall fitness..or like me improve my golf game. Please check out Amanda's studio. John #Pilatesforlife

From the owner: Mermaid Pilates is a Pilates, Barre, and Nutrition Studio by Amanda Kraft, certified instructor and…read moretrainer. Offerings include group Mat, Barre, and Reformer Classes as well as Private Sessions on the full range of Pilates equipment (Reformer, Tower, Chair, and the Barrell system). We believe in finding beauty, confidence, and balance from the inside out. Not only is the Mermaid one of Amanda's favorite exercises, it is a symbol of self confidence, power, elegance, and being wild & free. Pilates, a method of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates, works to strengthen the deepest layers of the core to stabilize the spine. With this foundation, the entire body functions efficiently and becomes strong, while the mind is more at peace. The studio is bright, clean, and has a touch of that "near the sea" feeling. We hope that when you come to work out with us you'll feel the serenity of our space, meet your physical goals, and always leave feeling like your best self.

I joined ISF using their groupon, which is an amazing deal. Mike and Pasquale create a new and…read moredifferent workout each day. No two days are the same. They incorporate both weights and cardio for a total body workout. It's kind of like cross-fit but the workout is the actual full hour (rather than 20 minutes). If I were to offer one suggestion, although they give you time to stretch before and after the workout, it would be nice to be able to take a yoga / flexibility / stretching class as part of the membership there. Maybe like a once a week yoga class. They also have an easy to use app to check in to classes but they don't fill up so you don't need to reserve your spot well in advance. Most of the times I check in on the app on the way to the gym. It's a supportive environment and both Mike & Pasquale know everyone's name. I would have gotten a membership after my groupon expired but I'm moving out of state. But I highly encourage anyone to give it a try!

Mike and Pasquale (the two trainers that run this place) do an amazing job of kicking your butt…read morewhile also showing their utmost respect and care for you. I've only been going to Ideal for a few weeks but the trainers make each workout intense and worth your time and money. Ideal also has a community feel to it. A lot of the folks that workout here seem to get to know one another which can make the workout a lot more fun and challenging in my opinion. During the work out, you'll probably hate Mike and/or Pasquale. They challenge you and may even yell a little (not in mean way). Their boot camps consist of TRX, rowing, weightlifting, body weights, cardio (running, jumping, etc), free weights, outside activities, etc. Moreover, there are many different rotations of workouts they'll go through within the hour which makes it helpful to get a full-body workout. You'll definitely leave exhausted but happy you came. I also noticed that they tend to use the entire hour. Some places I've gone to only have you workout for about 45-50 min, however the guys at Ideal use the entire 60 min. You really get a good workout in that time. I've started at Ideal by using their Groupon deal but will definitely continue afterwards. This is one of the few boot-camp places that offer unlimited monthly boot-camps and for a price that I think is worth it. I can't recommend this place enough. I love it.

Filthy. Cardio equipment is frequently broken and they just remove the "scheduled for maintenance"…read moresigns. In 2 years, i have never seen less than three broken exercise bikes at a time. Cables break on machines. Padding on benches rips and i have never seen anything replaced. Staff turn over seems to be high. No staff does anything other than sit at their desks bshitting or staring at their phones. Management will say they are working on it, but nothing improves. The locker rooms are disgusting. Absolutely filthy. Cleaning is done during busy hours so they can vacuum properly and the mats are disgusting. Wipes for equipment havent been replenished in months.

After the class they told me I can longer come here unless I have a paid membership. I have national wide coverage but this YMCA refuses to honor that. I just wanted to take just one class and they said I have to pay full membership. They could still get paid if they went through the insurance. But they rather take money directly from member not understanding seniors are on low income budget. This was very disheartening because I really loved the class. So beware nationwide is not for this particular YMCA.

Everything is clean, well-maintained, and updated. The courses are great, and the teaching staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The Not-So-Great Stuff One other reviewer already mentioned the mystery busses that show up every so often and randomly disgorge mobs of teenage boys at the front door (who in turn fill the fitness room beyond capacity). I once submitted a proposal that the members simply be alerted the day before this happens so that they can plan; I never received an acknowledgement. The facility hosts swim meets, and when that happens you can forget about finding a place to park. I have no idea why they don't direct swim meet vehicles to park in one of the nearby YMCA lots for the day. If you do show up on a swim meet day, be prepared to make a slow Odyssean drive through the various areas of the parking lot before realizing that you won't be working out that day. I don't like that they charge extra for some classes. This place isn't cheap -- you can look up the membership prices on the website. It strikes me as a little mean to charge retirees who just want to learn how to play pickleball an extra $100.
