I took the hot Pilates class, I have prior experience and swear by hot yoga but this facility was…read moredangerously hot. My face was still beat red for a full hour following the class. I had sat right under the pipe that steams, because I was not warned otherwise and it was the only spot left. It was a very full class. I do not have a very sensitive nose but there was an odor that I could not get past, I know it is not the establishments fault but it unfortunately added to my negative experience

**UPDATE: My little sister felt uncomfortable with everything that went on in the studio and…read moredecided to call the owner to try to understand and see if maybe there was a big misunderstanding. The owner took absolutely no responsibility for her actions and decided to disclose information about my call log and state non factual things about me to ok her wrong doings . Which may I add is not legal. She proceeded to say she felt disrespected by me (her client) because I walked in one day at at 4:28 when class started at 4:30. While I was trying to rush into class the owner kept going back and forth with me about me going in and out. Unfortunately, this studio charges for everything so I usually bring my own weights. Due to her going back and forth I felt overwhelmed and wanted get in I decided to leave my bag and not take the weights. I'm positive that in the middle of the back and forth I made a face (I was uncomfortable) because this owner started repressing her client super loud in front of ppl. I guess from that moment on the owner had it out for me. This studio overbooks and then mistreats people when there is no space. As an owner if you felt that me arriving at 4:28 was unacceptable you should've cancelled my class and not allow me into the class. That's perfectly fine. Instead you proceeded to have a back and forth with your client. Due to this situation the owner proceeded to tell my sister that this is why she felt the need to disrespect me because she felt disrespected in front of her brother. Completely UNPROFESSIONAL. I must say I feel bullied at this point. She should have pulled me to the side to discuss any issues because I am not a nasty person and I can definitely admit to my mistakes. There are ways as an owner to address things with your clients instead of having it out for them. May I also add she did this to two other clients on Sunday. Took their reservation and didn't allow them to come into class because it was over booked. In this case it is unfortunate because we felt like since Maria is the owner to a YOGA studio maybe we could discuss what happened in a calmer manner and understand both sides she proceeded to take zero accountability for her disrespect. At this point after witnessing this owners behavior it is clear that she only cares about money and wants to walk around mistreating people because she's the "owner". Extremely distasteful. She decided to embarrass two of her clients and allow them to walk out upset. I felt like I was in the mean girls movie. Completely disregarded your clients feelings. ** She also blocked my sister from being able to talk classes in her studio. ** No need to block me because I will never step foot into a studio that does not care about people's feelings. This review is super upsetting because I NEVER LEAVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, but in this case I felt like it was necessary. I really liked this studio, the owner is extremely disrespectful though. There are ways to speak to your clients, but this owner was completely out of line. Screaming at your clients after a class that is suppose to clear your mind is absurd. Yelling at your client in front of the whole class and may I add she yelled at my little sister who suffers from depression loves working out here and this has been the only studio where I have been able to get her to like and come to. It's extremely disheartening. I am fully aware that every studio has its rules, but there are ways to express those rules without being condescending to your client. The class ended at 10:29 we waked out at 10:30. I understand we have to respect others meditation, but we did not walk out before the class ended. I am fully aware as this is not the only studio I go to that we have to be mindful of others meditation while walking out. May I also add, the owner was taking the class as well. She proceeded to yell while my little sister was walking out disrupting everyone in the class (meditating ) and embarrassing her. It was a very mean-spirited, UNPROFESSIONAL move. The instructors here are great and I would love to continue coming here, but after today it makes it really hard to feel comfortable here. It's unfortunate bc mental health is a big deal and these studios represent clearing your mind and soul. Unfortunately, after today I'm not sure this space is for me. I walked out from this confrontation with anxiety due to the owner. Tbh I hate to leave this review bc I do like classes , but this is not the first incident I had with the owner. It would have been more appropriate if the owner would've approached this is calmer/ private manner. Instead of continually repeating her point for everyone to hear. She repeated herself 10 times. I hope this review serves as a learning experience. I am a business owner as well and I could never imagine speaking to any of my clients in this manner.
