Shanti Wellness Center and Fran Candelaria owner, yoga teacher and massage therapist extraordinaire…read morereview I cannot recommend Shanti Wellness Center enough, and even more so, the extraordinary healing touch of Fran. This morning, I started my day with her 9 AM yoga class, which was an incredible way to open both body and mind--especially before the hour-long massage that followed. Fran is nothing short of a wonder--a fantastic, intuitive massage therapist unlike any I have ever met. Her touch is one of love and nurturing, like that of a guardian angel guiding the body toward deep healing. She understood my inner workings better than I did--not only my muscle tissue but also my energetic flow, unlocking and releasing in ways I didn't even realize I needed. At Shanti Wellness, you don't just receive a massage--you experience a holistic healing journey. Fran seamlessly integrates hydrotherapy, cupping, tuning forks, sound bowls, meditation flutes, and singing bowls, creating a truly multidimensional treatment. Her expertise goes beyond the massage table--she has also guided tens of thousands of students into the field of massage, sharing her wisdom and mastery with the world. Beyond Fran's incredible gifts, Shanti Wellness itself is a haven of harmony, love, and balance. The collective of healers here radiates warmth and authenticity, making this the most welcoming environment I've ever stepped into. Shanti is my new home--and I have no doubt you will find a home here as well. If you're looking for true healing, look no further!

There is no longer consistency between classes. You may feel like you gotten a really good workout one day to go back the next and be completely let down. Today i went to yoga recovery and left 15min in because it wasn't yoga recovery. It was some halfway class between recovery and yoga sculpt.

Before there was Orlee's "Barre & Beyond," I was already actively involved in sports (running,…read morebicycling), along with individual and class work-outs at a local gym. So when a friend suggested I try this unique style of exercise, I questioned how it could be better than what I already did. It only took one or two classes to show me how different and effective this Barre method was. Fast forward to the present. I am stronger than ever before, my running has improved immeasurably, and when I take a Barre class, I leave the studio feeling happy, fulfilled, and ready to tackle the day. For those who are unsure, I would strongly suggest taking 2 or 3 classes. You will not regret it.

I've completed over 500 sessions while pursuing my Pilates practice and I enjoyed visiting this new and beautiful studio in Crown Point. The welcoming vibes, the immaculate studio full of reformers (I use a balanced body reformer and other balanced body equipment), the private room for training, the yoga space, the knowledgeable instructors...these make pursuing a practice achievable and attainable. Consistency is key to a lifestyle of health and wellness, and Leni's Pilates is set up for you to achieve your goals. I like that the studio is named in honor of the founder's grandmothers. If I lived closer I definitely would make Leni's Pilates part of my daily practice.

I found Pumps Fitness while I was searching for personal trainers near me and decided to contact…read morethem because I liked the fact that they were a private gym. I'm so glad I went in for my consultation! They are passionate about what they are doing and the people they help. I worked solely with Ian and would highly recommend him to everyone! He listens to what your goals are and adapts your workouts to help you achieve them in an encouraging way. Whenever something hurt, he would give adjust and give me an alternative option which would allow me to work the same area. This knowledge and consideration made me want to work even harder and showed me that there really are no excuses to not staying in shape - you can work around or through your ailments to achieve your personal best. Check them out!

I have been dabbling in holistic healing for the past few years, and I would consider myself…read moresomewhat of a sceptic. I've experienced reiki before, and never really felt any results, A couple of months ago I came here to get 3 sessions, and give it another chance. The place was very clean, everyone was very pleasant and I felt a sense of trust and peace, which is very important when dealing with any healing you undertake. When I tell you my first session with Jennifer and her assistant felt like an energy block was literally pulled away from my body. I was overcome with emotion and could literally feel the energy moving from head to toe. I went home that day and felt drained, but knew I had to finish my treatment. The second and third treatments helped solidify my feelings, and I felt more aware of my own self and re-aligned. If you are familiar with holistic healing, or curious, I urge you to make an appointment and see for yourself. Sometimes it just takes the right healer to help, and they are definitely the real deal.

My how Fitness Pointe has fallen in a few short years is a tragedy. The staff that once went out…read moreof their way to smile and welcome you by eagerly offering assistance are today far too busy sitting on their asses texting on their cell phones. They used to take your blood pressure by just noticing you sitting in a chair. Today, they're too lazy to get up off their asses! Don't blame Covid, that's any easy excuse and a cop out. No mouthwash in the locker room any longer! We didn't forget! Fitness Pointe did! Poor leadership that would rather blame someone for complaining about a problem person, in hopes one of them would cancel their membership so Mr Coward manager didn't have to take a stand. Missing leadership! Arrogant! Excellent at being pompous and arrogant! Then there's the therapy pool piranha and the school of disgruntled, mean followers that believe this is their own personal warm water swamp. The pool piranha feverishly splashes about from side to side hogging up three lanes is a message to everyone...I OWN THIS POOL! I COME FIRST! You must kiss the ass of the selfish pool piranha and follow it around, back and forth like a good little obedient fan. No respect for others! You can't enjoy the therapy pool alone because the pool piranha lacks attention and needs your constant validation. Then there's the employee with the strawberry blonde brush haircut that hates everyone including itself. Mean, belligerent and can easily grimace, flip you the finger or tell you to SHUT UP! Excuse me....Is one of it's tired, dated lines. When management lacks the balls to use their authority properly, you end up with sacred cow staff members, laziness and a few angered members calling the shots over the majority. Fitness Pointe isn't the best place to work out or enjoy your leisure. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Not worth the aggravation!

This is not a family-friendly facility. My 14 year old tried to come with me as a guest to try it…read moreout (my 16 year old had come once). They said the 14 year old had to buy a package for kids which was $30 for 10 visits (no smaller packages just to try it out). When deciding on it when she was already with me in her workout clothes, we told the worker that she was going to sometimes come with her friend's family, so we would get it. Nothing was said about any rules against this. A month after that, I decided to cancel my membership because of several reasons (class times not convenient for a teacher. Rigid rules about teen memberships, etc). When I canceled, they called to tell me Tessa's membership would also be canceled since she has to come with me. I told them my understanding was that she just had to be with an adult. They would not budge and told me absolutely no refunds for any reason. This is very poor business. Also, their policies are so rigid...a 14-15 year old must work out with a parent. I don't know many teens that want to be glued to their parent's side when working out. Other gyms have much more flexibility. Other businesses would be more flexible with miscommunications. I'm glad we are ending our membership there.
