First, it is centrally located which made it very easy for me to get from downtown (around Gay St) to it for their classes. I would also say that the staff (especially January at the front desk) are very warm and welcoming. They make you feel excited to be there and treat you as though you are a regular. The classes themselves were great (if you've been to b3 before, they use the same moves that you'd see in other classes) but there were a couple of things I would love to see from the studio in the future. First, I would love to see cardio and/or strength classes on the schedule like some other b3 studios have (and that they have online). I know this means that they will have to get heavier weights, but I love lifting heavy and missed that here. The second thing that I think would be awesome would be having classes at the same time every day (i.e. a noon class). It seemed like they were training a lot of new instructors when I was there so hopefully these additions will happen soon. Either way, the studio is clean and friendly! I will be back when I return to Knox!

When I tell you I found the literal definition of a hidden gem--I mean it!…read more I'm going to review the TWO things I did here today, the Pilates and the massage. Located behind the Audi dealership on Kingston pike, it's situated in a group of sweet little boutique-style shops (other health/wellness places) When I walked in, there were some sweet ladies wrapping up a class, pretty sure they knew each other well, and also met the owner Allison. Pilates-- Allison, who was as friendly as she was knowledgeable, did a new-client private with me, to gauge where I was at, and introduce me to the reformer. When you come, just come in comfy clothes, with a water, and then you can go barefoot or use grip socks. She gave clear instructions, very helpful corrections, and walked me through all the parts of each set. She explained that when you come, she tries to have people do a new-client meeting, and then from there you can do small group classes, or continue with privates. I could immediately see how beneficial the session was, as I found myself (a yoga instructor) still catching my posture/positioning off, and being tighter in areas of my body I didn't even realize I was. As a personal note--as someone who's body conscious and doesn't want to work out with an audience, this is NOT that. It's got boutique vibes, with no judgement. It is mostly women clientele, though she said some husbands sneak in too, to join their wives. The equipment was very clean, well maintained, and explained in detail (for newer to Pilates people like me) Her bathroom was VERY clean, and stocked with lady products, hair ties, and she even had water, should you run out or forget. She explained the best way to see pricing and classes is on her website (for both things actually) because there's lots of options. Massage- Sandy was my massage girl. Prior to coming, I had filled out a client intake form asking any allergies or injuries I had; she just confirmed that my answers were still the same. The room had dimmed lights, pretty art work, light/relaxing music. She asked what scent I would like for my aroma therapy (I picked lavender) She invited me to undress to my comfort level and she'd be back in. The bed warmer was on and she offered to adjust as needed. She checked in with me throughout the massage on pressure level, if anything hurt, if face/scalp massage was okay, what areas I wanted her to focus on etc. I opted for a Swedish massage, but she said her specialty is deep tissue. She told me she has add ons as well, like cupping, hot stone, and reflexology. Currently she's there Thursdays, Fridays, and every other Saturday, but they also have another girl as well. *Another personal note--I felt it was worth every penny. And their pricing is VERY fair, especially compared to other places I've visited in the area. Everything was perfect. I felt comfortable and was able to truly relax, which as a mom of 2 is hard to come by. After the massage she answered my questions, and let me know that they do offer drop-in massages or monthly member Rates. She said for maintenance she does recommend coming monthly, and you can elect to come more also. I will not only be back, but truly recommend this place many times over. Even if one thing or the other sounds better, it's a wonderful little place and I'm so glad to know it's there!

You can purchase them both for $100. They also rent and sell other things, from cute clothing to headphones to energy drinks. ** Hand towels and foam rollers are provided for free. ** There are also small cubby spaces outside the sauna for quick storage - that's where you put your phone, backpack, shoes, etc. ** All classes are virtual through displays within the sauna, not in-person with you. You follow along to their instructions on the screen. ** Bring a water bottle! Be sure to hydrate before, during, and after. There are water fountains for refills. ** Similarly - it's HOT. You're working out in a sauna. Just be aware if you're super sensitive to high temperature, that this might not be for you.

Granted that I have been doing this with very good portion control and other exercise regime but without a doubt, my gains would not have been as powerful without this very non-invasive ab program. I have taken abs classes that last about a half an hour. You do them and you are sick. You are in pain and it just hurts. Generally, you only are able to do them one day a week - and who wants to do them more? This program is fantastic. It is the right way to ease into taking care of your core.
