Really enjoyed my first lesson with Sue. The lesson was very technical and precise and she had…read moreplenty of corrections (all of which I love) while keeping a pretty fast pace. Usually I've found pilates teachers either slow the pace down to correct or they speed through and you're on your own. Sue was able to blend both and her corrections got me to actually use the muscles I wanted (like deep abs). Highly recommend Sue and her studio and wish it was closer so I could go all the time.

Jessica is patient and creative with how she approaches each lesson. She customizes to one's ability and knows how to stretch beyond it without injury to one's body or mind. You leave each lesson feeling healthier, stronger, and more ready to take on the day. I highly recommend her for her talents as a teacher in a field where there are way too many ways to injure oneself, should one get the wrong instructor.

Totally in love with this place. And not just because it's a block and a half from my house. Very…read morechill, meditative vibe at the sessions I have attended.

I've been taking classes at Lotusland for about 8 months (how time flies!), and I'm really…read moreimpressed by the quality of the experience. I used to go to Yoga Tree extensively before they shut down, and I've been to a few other local studios. Not all the teachers at Lotusland are equally skilled, but they all have a quality which I've found lacking at many other studios, which is a desire to actually TEACH yoga rather than just instruct it. The studio is small enough that the teachers can get to know the students and offer personalized, hands-on assistance, which helps new students practice proper form and more experienced students refine their technique. This is not the place to go if you want a Core Power Flow Maximum Heated Vinyasa Yogaerobics Body Sculpting class, but it's a great place to go if you want to, you know, learn and practice yoga.

I used to have nothing but positive feelings about Iron and Mettle. I still absolutely love my…read moretrainer, Zulma, who is truly excellent, and I've always valued the comfort and safety of training in a women-focused environment. It was, in fact, the primary reason I joined. However, I've noticed more men trickling into the gym lately. When I joined, men were only allowed for duo training. While I entirely support respect and inclusivity, allowing men defeats the purpose of advertising this as a women's gym. If I wanted to train in a co-ed environment, I could go to the Y for half the price--which sadly is an option I am now considering

I didn't have a good experience at this gym. From the start it felt cliquey and condescending…read more I came in with a background in personal training and years of being an athlete, even though I wasn't in great shape at the time. I felt talked down, like I didn't know anything about training and needed long explanations over very basic things. There's a difference between being supportive and being patronizing, and unfortunately it was the latter. I've worked with great trainers before, so I know what a good training environment can feel like -- and this was definitely not it.

I actually have an aversion (well...deep down it's a strong affinity) to mirrors…read more Seriously. Since I was a kid I've been making an uber bizarre mirror face- whenever my reflection is presented before me. It's a weird mix of Blue Steel meets Top Model. I can't help but give face to any and every mirror that I come in contact with. It got so bad during middle school and high school that I never got any work done when I was in my room. I would sit vainly in front of my bedroom mirror and just stare at myself. Stare at myself doing work. Stare at myself no longer doing work. Stare at myself dancing instead of work....the list goes on. My parents finally decided an intervention was in order and promptly removed my massive bureau mirror from my room. A wave of relief overwhelmed me - once that big dominant mirror was no longer a profound presence in my room. I became about 12 percent more productive that day (though all of my CDs were promptly used as substitutes and till today most of my CD collection is smeared with makeup and finger stains...le sigh). And.... so it's a strange thing for me to actually celebrate and crave mirrors such as the ones that Mobu boasts. I've taken two hula-hoop lessons here and the large expansive mirrors which line this intimate studio have been key players in helping me conquer or at least try to tackle difficult hula-hoop moves. When this studio is not in use - you can rent it out for a fairly nominal fee - and it is beyond worth it. It is beyond what's up to have a darling studio where you can drop a hula-hoop loudly on the ground and no one cares (sorry below neighbors). It is beyond what's up to have a space - where you can bust out some bumpin tunes as the hula-hoop awkwardly bumps across your shoulders. It is beyond what's up to have a place where you can go to learn a skill with personal one-on-one training. Thank you Mobu for existing. Thank you Mobu for having mirrors and allowing me to enjoy them oh so briefly. Trust.
