    I had a GREAT experience with Rosa! This was my first time doing sports therapy at ARC, and let me tell you--it won't be my last! From the moment I entered to the moment I left, I felt welcomed and taken care of. Rosa walked me around the facility and showed me all the recovery tools and machines. The room I had my massage in was clean and inviting. During my massage, I loved how Rosa told me exactly what she was doing and WHY she was doing it. She checked in on me when it came to pressure and pain. Rosa was able to tell me where misalignment was in my back, and she used different techniques to release tension. It's been a few hours since I got the massage and I already feel better! Can't wait to book my next appointment! Happy Marathoner/hybrid athlete here!

    This place is incredible for recovery. I originally came in just for the cold plunge, but it turned into a much better experience than I expected. The staff made me feel comfortable right away, like I actually belonged there. I'm staying out in Monrovia for a bit, so the location worked out perfectly since it's right nearby. More than anything though, I walked out feeling noticeably better than when I came in. Appreciate you guys.

    I love that this studio is near home, and I can easily visit other small businesses afterwards too…read more It is small but I have enjoyed the classes and instructors I have taken here. It is inside the crossfit gym but they are merging with another yoga spot a few blocks down. I cannot wait to see the new curated space.

I attended while they were in their transition period. However, I believe their foundation and class format is same. I did pretty much all the classes as a regular with Kayla- yoga flows, sculpts, hot yogas, sound baths, and the musical meditations where they bring in live performers to play instruments, Kayla singing! The community is fabulous. I felt comfortable and welcomed by Kayla, the owner. I love all her classes. She does the best guided meditations. Music is also fantastic and instrumental which is projected from a speaker and travels through the room great. Music and guided meditation transitions are fabulous! During the cooldown, you are delivered cool towels to put on your face or wherever on your body. Experience- From going through very stressful times, this yoga studio was my place to escape and I left every class more healed, and positive. It was a drive to get here from my location but worth it. I can't find any yoga studio like this. They are one of a kind. It's family oriented, friendly, welcoming, small-medium sized. Every time I came I was greeted by the coolest girl at the front desk- I think her name is Jordan, J name like me! She was helping out with the studio:) (Sorry we lost in touch, reach out to me if you ever see this to get some coffee! I looked out for you many times at the desk/ yoga classes but never saw you again!) Setting- The studio had a dojo, oasis feel to it. When you enter the most commonly used room, there is usually candle lights on the floor and beautiful projector lights like speckled stars on the ceiling. I love it. I LOVE the steam room. I could stay there for hours. Hygiene is on point. 100/100 recommend. I miss this studio and wish to come back though I'm not in the area long enough. The classes and coming to them helped me go through a low point in my life. I thanked myself every time I came.

This is a lovely, quaint Pilates studio for all skill levels, the instructors are very kind and knowledgeable. Since the classes, I've noticed a much leaner physique, muscles in my legs and core, more energy. The classes are so fun and every instructor brings different styles, there are English, mandarin, Korean speaking instructors. If you're looking for a great workout in a pretty setting, this place is highly recommended

While I unfortunately don't think I can come back here any time soon (each class they have is 15+ credits), I enjoyed my class with Hanna so much that I wanted to write her a good review. When I walked in, someone at the front desk checked me in right away and she had a warm personality! Very inviting. She shared with me that we leave our shoes by the door, then we walk down the hallway to our class. I noticed that the floor was a little dusty as we walked past the other rooms for aerial yoga and for private classes. The Pilates class room itself is clean and designed well. There was plenty of space between one reformer and the next. Hanna explained all the instructions clearly and she had good pacing. She made sure that our form was correct throughout. It was nice that there were only three of us during my class so it felt like we were getting more attention. I also appreciated how encouraging she was and the music selection on the background made the entire time pass by like a breeze. My feedback would be about the reformer machines themselves. The reformer machines felt a little cheap just because the ropes would make this sound while we would be pushing to get resistance that I haven't heard from other Pilates studio machines. I saw some fraying on my ropes specifically. The platform also felt more narrow than the average. I was still able to do the exercises but as a 5'3 girly, I felt like I had the longest legs in the world. Overall, I'm glad that there is another Pilates studio near me that has dedicated parking and talented instructors. I hope they consider checking the machines every now and then for wear and tear but other than that, I had a wonderful time!

I am SO UPSET that I do not live in the area and can continue to come to this gym. They have ruined me. I cannot accept basic yoga classes anymore. Took advantage of their 7days for $7 trial. Loved it so much I went twice a day. Then I purchased a 10 class pack so I could exercise during the rest of my visit. It didn't matter the class type or the instructor, if I had time I was there. And didn't even care that I couldn't do half the moves, the staff and patrons are so welcoming, ya just wanna be there. Loved everything about this establishment; staff, amazing. Classes, fire. Parking, plentiful and free! The space is not large, but they maximize it in a way that doesn't feel over crowded. Downside is that there is no shower, but there are 6am classes, so plenty of time to get yourself home and off to work by 8am :) I look forward to returning when I am In the area.

But alas, they were able to redeem it and set up my account which is great. Cute little gym with a small yoga studio on the side. No frills, nothing fancy but the yoga here is not bad. Instructors are friendly and professional and start class on time. I wish they were a bit more hands on. It'd be cool if they included sound bath at the end of class or towels or something. I always park on the street but they have a free parking lot as well.

I sent one last email 2 days ago and she continues to IGNORE. Therefore, I am taking this onto the small claims court. Like the other victims of her, this is hours of time wasted on her but I am not just letting her get away with $1200 and continue to have others become victims. BE AWARE OF THIS BUSINESS AND THE OWNER. UPDATE: Owner responded under this comment claiming that she does not offer refunds and that it was stated in her studio policy. For us THERE WAS NO STUDIO POLICY SHOWN AND WE DID NOT SIGN ANYTHING. We were also not gone for a month, she did not notify us of her absence so we waited outside over 10 minutes for class and then emailed her to ask why she didn't show up. The week after was the holidays so my girls had winter break for two weeks. However, I told her exactly when we will resume in which she did not disagree with and then when we showed up on 1/6, she doubled booked. I will not be backing up on this because she promised a refund.

I still have got my money back. it's $840 plus hours wasted on this matter. I think Yelp may be the only Chanel to help others to avoid what we went thru. Jacqueline kept asking me to remove this review in exchange she will refund me. She also send harassing messages calling me crazy A$$, insane, "how can you getting married". Very toxic process throughout this 10 months. I guess she was able to get other bad review removed this way. I was temped before but now I rather just leave the review here to prevent more victims. please see below pics for her harassing messages. Last, if you guys still want to try this place out, please DO NOT PAY by Cash, Apple Pay, Venmo or Zelle. They won't refund you the charge even if you dont get the service. Use Credit Card or thru mind body app if you must. Jacqueline will tell you the app doesn't work and mess up her class which is not true. Good Luck yelpers.
