I tried Pure Barre for about 3 months, but was seeking variety in my workouts. F2B offers that with a plethora of classes and times! My body (and mind) have been challenged and I love seeing how my strength improves each class. If you're looking for a small studio with great vibes, definitely come check this studio out. You will not regret it!

Let me join the growing chorus of devotees of the intimate yet challenging classes offered at Fit…read moreto Be. First, the logistics. Fit to Be is located in the same building and on the same level as American Roadhouse. There's plenty of parking in the lot behind the building, and the studio has a small lobby area to wait in before classes start. They have a single room for classes, but it has a sliding barn door in the back, making it possible to conduct private training sessions at the same time a larger class is going on. Other reviews note that classes are capped at 15, but I've never had more than twelve. I have yet to take a class with Julie (the owner, acclaimed in many other reviews), but that's because I'm such a huge fan of Bryn's Ballerobica class at 9am on Saturdays. Barre or ballet-inpsired classes are a dime a dozen these days, but Ballerobica is the best I've found. It adds an aerobic element to the standard core exercises, so you feel like you've gotten a much bigger calorie burn. Plus, Bryn is a phenomenal teacher- she pushes without yelling and she is continually upbeat without being fake. Everyone -from students to teachers - seems genuinely glad to be there. I leave class feeling upbeat (and sweaty) which is exactly what I'm looking for. Though I discovered Fit to Be through Classpass (which is awesome, by the way), these are classes I might actually pay extra to be able to attend more of them than the three per month Classpass limits you to. At just $15 for one drop in class (and packages that go down in cost from there), Fit to Be is also one of the more reasonable gyms I've found. I can't wait to try more classes, because Fit to Be is certainly as good as it gets!

We did a variety of moves on the bar (but don't get me wrong, this was no relaxing pure barre type moves) and then for the other half of class we used a weighted medicine ball.

However, decided to finally check out their barre classes on a sunday morning and I'll have to say - it's a really good workout! I was sore for at least a few days afterwards. I really like how the class uses very ballet like moves and how welcoming the instructor was towards beginners. She offered many adjustments for those of us who aren't as fit. Unlike Exhale or Pure Barre where you only need socks for barre, you actually need shoes for West Coast Workout's Barre class.

Even with 6 or 7 students in the studio using 3 or 4 different pieces of equipment, they coach with succinct clarity to each individuals needs. Their knowledge and ability is impressive and you see the results in students bodies over time. For me, life changing! I started at this studio after a year at one in Chamblee (who were great instructors but constantly talked politics). I was preparing for spine surgery and safe strength training was in needed. My (fusion) surgery was November if 2022 and I was back at Pilates by January (which my surgeon approved over regular PT after reading the instructor bios) and in the weight room by May. I'm stronger and leaner at 60 than I was at 35. On top of the amazing results is I always feel fantastic after an hour at Align Movement and Design. I know the work I do there pays off and they have taught me a home practice I can take anywhere with no equipment. FANTASTIC place. If you check it out, we will meet there. I go 2-3 times every week unless I'm traveling!

I have been visiting Karen for personal training for over a year now and I never miss my sessions with her! She is my "reset" button every week to check in and make sure I'm on track for my fitness goals. Combined with a diet I selected and additional exercises throughout the week, Karen helped me lose 45lbs last year. I started at 308lbs. I still have a ways to go, but I'm looking forward to see what I can do in year 2. It really helps to have a person there every week who is cheering you on (especially when you've had an off week!), and someone to provide new ideas when you need the boost. How many times in my life have I taken a "break" from going to the gym only to find a week turns into several months? Having my weekly appointment has saved me from falling back into sedentary mode. If she has a spot open for you, grab it before it gets away!

For most of my life, I was a person who hated working out. I would exercise in waves of a few…read moremonths at a time and then stop. Going to Karen's classes was part of those waves, but it wasn't until I was in my forties and had two kids that I decided I needed to make exercise a regular part of my life. I was looking for strength and stamina and started out with small-group training with Karen. I've been doing the same group training for two years now. Karen is amazing at what she does. Not only does she create challenging, varied, and--yes!--FUN workouts, but she gets to know each person in her class so well that she knows when to motivate you, when to give you modifications, and when to push you. She is always researching and trying new exercises and teaching you how they benefit you. Perhaps most of all, I love the camaraderie, support, and genuine care I feel in her classes. We work hard together, encourage each other, and laugh a lot. I can't imagine working out anywhere else, and I hope I never have to! If you're looking for a trainer who will support you, motivate you, and care about your health, and for classes with awesome people, I highly recommend Karen Schrier Fitness!

I came for a 6 am Barre Fusion class to kick off my week of unlimited classes. It was MLK day so…read morepeople may have opted to sleep in because there was only one other person in attendance. The instructor Ashley was welcoming and explained the difference between Forme and other barre studios. As it was described, and as I would soon learn, the difference was in bigger motions. Barre workouts tend to involve a lot of subtle pulsing motions. At Forme the movements are bigger which meant I'd be activating more muscle groups and getting my heart rate up. They incorporate some smaller motions as well. For the Barre Fusion class we did standing work for a while and then eventually transitioned to the floor for glute and core work. Ashley's cues were very helpful. We ended up using a resistance band, a small ball, and a single glider. It's crazy how you can get a great workout in with such small and unassuming equipment. By the end of class I left feeling challenged but still really good. The 55 minutes went by quickly. I knew I got a great workout when I felt sore later that evening. I also got to meet the owner Donna as the next class was getting ready to start and she was really sweet. She let me know that aside from the classes they also host social events which is nice. The other classes I tried: Barre Fusion Lift This class incorporated a weighted bar into the exercises. There was quite a bit of pulsing, squats, and lunges (front, reverse, side, and curtsy lunges). The bar was used during the ab/core section as well which really kicked things up a notch. We also used resistance bands and a small step stool. Overall I really liked this class. The pace was upbeat and there was minimal rest which kept things challenging. This class was 55 minutes. Barre Fusion Sculpt This class incorporated more ballet-inspired moves (plies and releve when we were at the barre) than Barre Fusion Lift but the tempo/pace was very much upbeat. The hand and ankle weights added more resistance and with the high reps there was a good burn throughout. The instructor, Lauren, was energetic and motivating which made the 55 minutes go by quickly. Booty Barre This class was the most ballet-esque of all the classes I tried. Donna was really good about giving people modifications either to make the moves more challenging (stand in releve) or to accommodate people with injuries. I wasn't drenched in sweat by the end but I got a good glute and quad burn. Just as a note in terms of overall level of difficulty, I'm very active (I workout five times a week) and consider myself to be in good shape. I found the Forme classes to be fun but challenging. Other details: Toward the end of each class the instructors came around and placed wipes by our mats so we could wipe them down. They have open cubbies where you can store your belongings, two changing areas, and a bathroom with toiletries and a hair dryer. The parking lot is shared and on the smaller side but I never had issues getting a spot (I exclusively came to the 6 am classes). Overall I really enjoyed my week of classes and will be incorporating Forme classes into my workout regimen.

I approached Lawrence to ask what I could be doing differently to get the results I want. He offered an introductory session to me free of charge. I went into it thinking "I got this". Man was I wrong. It was the hardest workout I've had in a long, long time. Lawrence offered great tips the whole time and really pushes you the throughout the workout without over doing it.

If you are ready to commit to high-quality workouts, then look no further- MT will deliver. I approached MT with a vague desire to "feel stronger" after losing the drive to exercise consistently over the course of the past year. As a former athlete and long distance runner, I knew I wanted change, yet I was hesitant to set the bar too high. In comes MT trainer Ty, who is phenomenal. Ty is passionate and knowledgable about fitness, and he truly cares about his clients. Each and every exercise has a purpose, which he will explain to you. After just a few sessions, I started to notice subtle improvements like better posture (and sleep!). Fast forward two months, and coupled with diet changes, my results have snowballed- increased muscle mass, overall tone, and flexibility. Ty's sessions will keep you engaged and progressing towards your goals. My fitness journey started off small, and now I feel that the sky is the limit. Thank you MT, and thank you Ty! I'm so glad I joined.
