I had been wanting to take dance classes for a while. I ran into a fellow Yelper at one of the…read morefitness Yelp events who convinced me I should try out Dance Lab. Tiffany's review is probably right under mine. She told me it increased her overall happiness levels. I decided this was for me. The very next Thursday evening, I found myself in the Hip Hop class. At the time, the hip hop class was called Feel Euphoric Hip Hop. It was the only class I could find on the schedule that said it was for strictly beginners. They level all their classes from F0 to F4 depending on how much experience dancing you need to take the class. I am at an F0 level. I have never danced before, besides occasionally in the bed room. In the hip hop class, the instructor, Naquan, walks us through warm up dance exercises followed by stretches. Then we start learning a combo. He goes real slow and makes sure everyone understands this step before moving on to the next step. Naquan is an excellent instructor. He makes dance class fun. Since that initial visit, I've since taken several more of the hip hop classes on Thursday nights. A few weeks ago, Dance Lab opened up a new dance room in their studio. When they did this, more F0 beginner classes opened up. I have also tried the ballet/Jazz technique class. I love that class too and I plan to continue to take it every Sunday. There is also a twerk class, Twerkaholics, which is held on Wednesday evenings. I will be attending that one soon. I look forward to learning how to twerk at Dance Lab! Dance class at Dance Lab has significantly improved my overall happiness levels throughout all of life. Not only is dancing fun, but it's also a great way to sneak in exercise. Thank you, Dance Lab. I dedicate my 100th review to you.

What a fantastic time we had at DanceFX! The truth is, I was dreading going there, but boy was I…read morewrong. I don't dance. In fact, few things fill me with more anxiety than knowing I will be dancing. But my wife and I travelled to Charleston with two other couples and my wife wanted us all to go learn the Charleston. So we did. What the hell, I figured, we'll just have a few drinks beforehand and I'll muddle through. So that's what we did. We had a private lesson (the six of us) with John Michael. He was the best! The atmosphere was all about having fun, and John Michael kept things light and enjoyable. My anxiety was all for naught. We danced and laughed and enjoyed ourselves for an hour (which seemed to go by much quicker, with all the fun we were having). Rumor has it I may have even embarrassed myself less than I thought I might. In any event, our incompetence was no obstacle to our enjoyment. When we were done, we were having so much fun we thought, why end this now? We all went out with John Michael and shot pool for a few hours until we had to head to dinner. Needless to say, the fun continued throughout. I am so glad my wife wanted to learn the Charleston. It was absolutely one of the most enjoyable evenings I have had in a long time, and we made a local friend. Thank you DanceFX!

I do wish they had some more daytime classes offered during the week. I tried the adult contemporary class on Sunday afternoon. I was feeling pretty nervous, not having been to a dance class in about 18 years or so, but Alexa was super welcoming. The class was great, it was so much fun to move like that again. I will defiantly go back and I highly recommend it, dancing is so good for the soul.

The instructors and workers learn your name and fitness goals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the gym was open as much as it could be, safely. Masks were required when the city mask mandate was in effect, and group fitness classes were spaced out and limited, with online reservations. The good thing about a 24 hour gym membership is that you can go when it's less crowded and weird hours of the day. My husband and I were both able to keep up our fitness routines this way. Now, the gym is back to fully capacity and offers group fitness classes again. There's also a new turf and sled as well as a new glute machine and additional free weights, all added within the last year. All equipment is in great shape, and I've never seen a machine out of order. The cardio machines have personal viewing screens, so you can watch Netflix on the elliptical or treadmill. No matter what your fitness level is, you'll fit in at Zoo Health Club. Whether you like classes, personal training, or work out on your own, you can meet your goals here.
