I had the pleasure of attending a Pilates Reformer class with Mary at The Posture Bar as a part of…read morethe Yelp Fit Club. What an awesome experience! This cozy studio off Farmington Ave. has everything you need for a great workout. This class was my first time doing pilates with the reformer machine, and Mary was sure to explain everything and help us perfect our form. She was so calming and knowledgeable; you can tell she is passionate about her job and her clients. The workout was much more difficult than I thought it would be-in a good way! Of course Mary makes all the moves look so easy, but I could definitely feel it in my legs and thighs the next morning. Even through a short, introductory session, I could see how regularly attending classes like this would help get that toned look. Drop-ins are $35, but there is a 3 for $20 deal going on now. Mary is also Barre certified, so I am looking forward to trying one of those classes, too!

A visit to The Posture Bar was the perfect way to start the weekend! When I saw the Yelp Fit Club…read morewas offering classes I jumped on the RSVP's immediately and Mary didn't disappoint. She had a sunny disposition and clearly loves teaching and is invested in the health of her clients. We started with learning all the basics of the reformer and perfecting our form. It was such a smooth machine and a heck of a good workout! We worked a lot on activating our core, inner & outer thighs and glutes. Under Mary's guidance we focused on breathing techniques to get the most out of each position. I had a great time in the sunny little studio which is located only a couple minutes off 84! So easy to find. I hope to take advantage of the deals she's offering in the near future. Gotta get toned up for the wedding! Thanks Mary!

Soma is a wonderful studio for reformer. I started with 3 private sessions with Mary last year and…read moreshe took the time to explain every detail, adjust me and show me how to work with the reformer. The group classes are excellent - positive vibe and everyone works at their own pace. I'm thrilled with my posture and the strength and control I am learning. One class we did half reformer and half Cadillac - it was great! I highly recommend this studio to all my friends and to those thinking about trying something new. Bad knees, hips or back? Mary and her team will work with you to get you moving again!

This is my second time being a member at Healthtrax and I would have left them feedback directly,…read morebut they have no feedback box so I had to leave it here. I just took a Pilates class where the instructor didn't even introduce herself. Didn't check to see if anyone was new didn't correct anyone's form Was on her phone a good amount of the time in class. There was no music. She wasn't there early to prepare and they literally talked about alcohol and drinking the entire class. I love camaraderie in a group, but I was there to exercise and though I was able to get a workout, I was so distracted by everything else in the unpleasantness of the focus of the class that I couldn't wait to get out. I have been an instructor for 20+ years so I feel confident sharing this critique. Do better Healthtrax!!

Although one the two hydro massage tables is often broken, this new gym feature, introduced a…read morecouple of years ago, provided a pleasant end to a vigorous workout day. Enter your code and settings, and once a day your membership allowed you to sit back and enjoy a 10 minute hydro massage. Not any more. Without notice, management decided to abruptly end this free gym membership feature and turn it into a revenue stream. Now it charges a monthly extra fee. Another member and I discovered this service subtraction on a recent Saturday morning when we entered our individual codes but the machine failed to respond. I walked over to the front desk to ask them to reboot the machines and was told that management suddenly realized that the hydro massage tables were operating in the red, and thus an extra fee would be charged. There was supposed to have been an email that explained this to members but, sorry, apparently it never went out because many members had questioned why the tables weren't working. I wonder what other machines management is going to soon discover have been operating in the red ? Doesn't the club own these massage machines ? How can members using them cause the club to operate in " the red" ? Bikes ? Treadmills ? Rowing machines ? BTW we were told that the steam room was supposed to have been fixed this Spring but it's the end of June, 2025 and it's still out of commission. Some additional red flags: one of the hand held hairdryers in the men's locker room has had a sign on it saying " out of order" for more than two weeks, there are obvious cut backs in regular cleaning and maintenance - the white tiled top step into the hot tub was filthy last time I was there, Kleenex boxes are no longer provided, plastic bags for wet suits are no longer provided etc. I just hope the local health department regularly checks the water in the pool !

I have completed about 9 classes with class pass and have loved all of them but this one has been…read moremy least favorite. There was 20+ people in the class and it was crowded and felt very superficial. Not once did I hear a welcome. It was my first time and as I walked into the workout room I saw people had weights in front of them, as a first timer | thought maybe there were more people than planned so I sat on the floor with nothing in front of me. As more people arrived, they walked in with weights. I soon realized I had to grab my own. There was no one greeting or instructing us with this. The workouts were fine and the instructor was average. There are much better locations for barre including Core Barre Studio in Newington which l attended for the first time just the day before this class. I wouldn't recommend this studio.
