    How could I resist a yoga studio with such a delightful and clever pun for a name!…read more I discovered Heading Om during my week visiting Peoria, IL for work. I was able to attend two practices with Tammy. The first thing I thought when I pulled up was what a beautiful location they have for their studio! A historic old building surrounded by lush green lawns is the perfect atmosphere for a peaceful practice. Once inside, the scents of candles and essential oils instantly have a calming effect preparing any yogi for a great practice. Tammy was great! I am not very yoga savvy and she was so patient and helpful. Heading Om provides mats and props and each session is only 13 dollars! It's a great price for a great practice. If I ever find myself in Peoria again, I'll be "Heading Om."

    I found this studio by searching online and bought a certificate for a relative as a gift and I am…read moreso glad I did. Practicing there has completely entranced me with yoga for the great mental and physical benefits. Not to mention the wonderful staff and the great atmosphere. Classes are small so you get plenty of hands on instruction and all props and mats are provided. All you need to bring is yourself. During my pregnancy, Tammy always gave me variations to make practice more comfortable and safe which really meant a lot to me. Now they have prenatal yoga classes available too! They also offer Thai yoga but I haven't done one of those yet. The teachers are very warm and welcoming and you can tell that they love what they do.

    Reserve ahead of time on their website which is under the same name. Speaking of their website,…read moreit's a great tool to research ahead of time which yoga session (they offer 6 different genres) to choose on their home page with a full description of each category. If you are new to this location, make sure you take the time to fill out a registration form so you are all check-ed in. Clean mats, and weights for Iron Yoga, are provided so no big deal if you forget to bring your own. Hot yoga is this place's forté, as a majority of the classes offered include the cranked-up heat. The space is intimate and has a capacity limit of approximately 35-40 people, which leads back to my point of reserving online before dropping by. [Bonus: Cat employees enjoy a discount with a flash of the badge!] I went a few weeks ago for Iron Yoga and as I reflect on my experience, I can say with confidence that it was worthwhile and effective. Mallory delivered clear leadership and provided guidance on posture with excellent direction. The heat added to this session gave an extra oomph that regular weight-training lacked, but be sure to hydrate ahead of time and afterwards. My limbs were very sore the next day, leaving me feeling gratified. I highly recommend Yoga Projekt. Trust.

    This place is amazing. The facility is so clean and welcoming. I did the Kettle Ball class and it…read morewas awesome. Such a full body workout and definitely sore the next day. You can modify to your liking and the instructor did an amazing job explaining movements. Definitely going to go again!

    While visiting family and friends in Central Illinois, I struggled with a pinched nerve in my back…read more I searched for spas in Yelp and found MIRASPA. I spoke with Elmira (owner), and she was able to schedule me two days later. Elmira is A-MAZ-ING!! She does an excellent job listening to and assessing client needs. Her touch is firm, but gentle. Elmira worked out my knots without leaving me sore -- a true indicator of a great therapist! The numbness in my hands is also gone and strength has returned to my right arm. Elmira incorporated CBD oil (non-psychoactive Cannabidiol for anti-inflammation and pain relief) and Blue Tansy oil (for anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antifungal properties) in my treatment. I purchased a bottle of CBD a week prior in Oregon, but I didn't have the time to research and try it. The products Elmira sells have a higher concentration of CBD per ml. I was glad my first experience with CBD was with Elmira, since she is extremely knowledgeable. The CBD tincture I also tried enhanced my visual perception and mental clarity for several hours after my treatment. CBD didn't impair any of my faculties. I'll definitely schedule future treatments next time I am in town. My parents also indicated they want to start attending MIRASPA -- this will be their first massages in 80-something years. The fact that l've referred my parents (and they're eager), says a lot! DETAILS: * Location = 4 stars MIRASPA is conveniently set right off of East Washington St, prior to the Route 8 intersection. I just wish MIRASPA was closer to where I live. :) * Environment = 5 stars MIRASPA is located in a house that was built in 1908 and tastefully covered to a therapeutic practice. It is warm and inviting with early 20th century charm. * Equipment = 5+ stars Elmira's massage tables are the most comfortable I've encountered. They even have breast indentations! * Price/Quality = 5+ stars MIRASPA is very reasonable considering the quality of services and products provided.

    I like the area of this place, next to the Peoria River and near a trail outside to enjoy the view…read more A playground right outside for the kids to play in with mini rock climbing and an obstacle course. The only downside is that the parking is a tad difficult with a majority of its spots being reserved. So you have to park at the far end of the lots. Charging stations are available, and clean locker rooms. Different types of pools are available. One with lanes, a free swim pool, another that is heated with rails installed, a jacuzzi, and a steam room. Also one with wavy lanes at the pool playground. There is a rock climbing wall but it's always covered up. I wish they had a sign saying when it'll be open or how to use it.

    I used to belong here. I joined because the location included a pool and a large hot tub…read moreoverlooking the Illinois River. While soaking in front of a huge glass window in the hot tub, you can actually see the bald eagles nesting in the trees on the other side of the Illinois River! But that's about it. The place is being run by idiots, all on the city payroll -- usually guys wearing tight body shirts who spend most of their time working out on the machines while giving scant attention to the "problems" all around them. The workout machine area overlooking all of this is virtually deserted with no supervision and no customers, particularly in the evening hours after work (one has to wonder why?). This encourages pilfering and chronic theft in the locker areas, among other things. Then a white school bus arrives and unloads various people on a hot summer day, who stand around talking to each other in the Olympic-size pool, thus preventing anyone from swimming laps until after they and their white bus leave two hours later. If one tries to complain, a guy in a tight body shirt comes over to tell you your behavior is not acceptable. Meanwhile, the people off the bus could be drowning from no supervision for all he knows because, up to then, he and his "crew" are busy talking to various types about tomorrow's big game at the events center! It is a big political operation to keep everyone happy during the summer heat and the drop-dead months of cold winter, so they will not throw rocks or steal hubcaps (as well as cars parked nearby) due to the lack of personal safety on the streets around the place --which has been funded by tax monies -- that is from those who pay taxes. Somebody made a lot of money building this place. Then they use it to stick it to the taxpaying citizens to keep some people "happy" who are "needy" and unhappy for whatever reasons. But watch for Mr. Body T. Shirt to run for mayor next time around, since he knows how to make the big shots with the real money happy.

    I've been going to Farrell's since October 2011 and have been holding off on reviewing it till I…read morewas sure about what I wanted to write, but I think I'll finally give it a shot. I'm going to tell you what it is, and then why I like it. What is it?: Farrell's isn't your standard gym, and it isn't your standard approach to a fitness plan. The program is a mixture of kickboxing and resistance training. Monday-Wednesday-Friday is kickboxing, and Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday alternates between Upper and Lower body band resistance training. The classes are 45 minutes, and you pick a time to show up 6 days a week. I chose the 5am class, but there are many options. When you first join Farrell's you are enrolling in the 10 week transformation program. Everyone that you see in Farrell's has gone through the 10 week program. This includes the people working behind the counter and all of the instructors. The instructors aren't personal trainers, they are just normal people that have gone through the program. When they aren't instructing, they're working out right next to you. You get a coach that's in your class for the whole 10 weeks to help you stay motivated and answer any questions you may have. There are 3 fitness tests during those 10 weeks. At the end of the 10 weeks the most improved male and female of each 10 week program wins $1,000. Seriously. With your enrollment you get a nutrition/workout manual, boxing gloves, and hand wraps. When I signed up it was about $360 for the 10 week session. What to expect: The first Saturday you will go to Farrell's for orientation. Your body will be measured. This includes body weight, BMI, and dimensions. They will take a before picture (Guys in shorts, ladies in shorts and tank/bikini). You will also do a step test to get your heart rates, and a reach test to check your flexibility. You will see how many situps and pushups you can do in a minute. Finally, you will run 1 mile outside. All new members do this. You will meet your coach and all of the new 10 weekers that will be in your class and going through the program with you. The nutrition program is explained to you, as well as how to put on your wraps and what to expect when you start the workouts. The first couple of weeks of workouts are focused on teaching the new 10 weekers the form and techniques of kickboxing and resistance training. The expectation is that you don't know anything about kickboxing or bands. The pace is slow and there are plenty of FIT members (graduates of the 10 week class that continue the program) that will help you and answer questions. You will be sore, and you will be tired, but everyone picks it up fairly quickly. As the 10 week program progresses, the workouts get more involved. With kickboxing you add in combinations of kicking and punching, aerobic sets in between combos, and 'fun fridays' that really push you. For resistance training you add circuits, drop sets, and super sets. At 5 weeks you take another fitness test to check your progress. The final test is at 10 weeks. There is a completion celebration that weekend when the winners are announced and everyone can appreciate their results. Why I like it: So if you've made it this far, the question is probably "So is this worth my time and money? Does it work?". My answer is unequivocally yes. During my 10 week session, I lost 20.5lbs. I'm much stronger. I shaved 1:30 off my mile time. I got great results, and so did most of the others in my session. I've tried some things in the past, but there are some reasons why I think this worked for me. First, staying motivated while working out is hard for me. This program kept the workouts interesting, and you had a support structure built in to get you to come to class. Everyone there is normal, and you don't have any of the gym rats or super buff people that often intimidate others. The $1,000 prize also provided motivation. I did not win the prize, but I felt that I could, and many others were in the same place. Like I said, everyone had great results. Second, the nutrition program wasn't a 'diet'. The program allowed you to still eat things you liked, but got you thinking about eating smarter. This is honestly where most of my weight loss probably came from. The meal plans and recipes made it easy to do, and even if you don't stick to it 100%, you'll still see some results. Finally, this program is fun. Kickboxing feels great, and the program makes it enjoyable (yes, enjoyable) to wake up at 5am. The way the program is set up you get to know and like the people you work out with. When you miss a day, people comment that they missed you at class. They motivate you to push harder and keep it fun. Farrell's worked great for me, and I've recommended it to everyone I know. If you're looking for something different from the normal gym, try this. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
