While I enjoy my personal training here, I was disappointed by the way management handled a recent…read morebilling issue. I completed my prepaid package without being notified beforehand, and only after my session was I informed that I owed for a single session. My concern was never about paying--it was about not being given the opportunity to make an informed decision before the service was provided. Rather than acknowledging that better communication could have prevented the situation, the response focused on telling me that I should have been monitoring the app myself. Businesses can absolutely expect customers to use their app, but that doesn't replace basic customer service. A simple heads-up before the session would have avoided the entire situation. On a positive note, Brittany has been fantastic. She's thoughtful, knowledgeable, and has been incredibly mindful of my recovery after surgery, always adapting my workouts appropriately. She's the reason I'll continue training here.

I…read morewas going about 3 times a week until my first month ran out and then I purchased the 3 month baby-on-board package. They also have 3 month Bride to Be and new mommy packages. The instructors are all SUPER friendly and helpful from the very start. My favorites are Katie (she's an owner), Carly, Brandy and Jamie. My aunt was the one who suggested Pure Barre to me because she said there were a few pregnant women in her Philly class. I chose to do this over prenatal yoga since I felt like it was a better variety. All the exercises are low impact (with a few pregnancy modifications) and a great muscular workout. I disgaree with a previous reviewer who said it was all repetitive because in the 2 months I've been there they've switched the routine 3 times. The exercises focus on small movements but trust me when I saw that they really really burn! I do cardio other times during the week on my own so I like that I get a good mix of muscle and toning work at Pure Barre. Lift, tone and burn are the motto here and I feel all of that every single time I go! I'm sure some of the complaints about sold out classes are for the night time classes (I usually go in the morning) because I rarely have any problems signing up for the classes I want. Katie told me that they are also opening up a new location in Clarendon which should help some of the volume of Arlington attendants. I HIGHLY recommend that you give Pure Barre a try, you definitely won't regret it!

I've enjoyed classes at Vida Pilates, and I'd highly recommend their program, especially if you're…read morelooking for an equipment Pilates studio. The teachers are great, the location is convenient, and the class prices are competitive. I've dabbled in mat Pilates for a while. I'd heard people rave about the Reformer and Tower, but I was intimidated to try them. Thankfully, my fears melted away when I started at Vida Pilates. I began with the prenatal/postnatal class with Dorothy, which is excellent. She tailors exercises to the students while teaching core fundamentals to maintain strength and good posture during the pregnancy journey. This class kickstarted new routines for me outside the studio, like incorporating more stretching and breathing exercises into my daily life. If you're a new mom or a mom-to-be, give this class a shot! It was also a great way to get familiar with the machines and see how they can take my Pilates practice to the next level. Vida Pilates is located on the basement level of the Ballston Vida gym. It's a short walk from metro, or garage parking is available ($1 for three hours). Group classes are small (1-5 students) and the facility is pretty new and clean. From my research, prices are similar and/or cheaper than other local studios. Vida members get a discount on equipment classes and can take free mat classes (with the same teachers) as part of the group fitness schedule.

I'm regularly think to myself that I'm thankful that this studio opened so close to home. Some of the classes that I cannot recommend enough: - Deep Stretch (Tuesday PM): after my first session, my hips felt loose for the first time in months (literally). What a great find! - Restorative Yoga & Guided Meditation (Sunday PM): love, love, love this send off into the coming week! It's not a fitness-yoga class, but rather a health-and-wellness class. Beyond regularly scheduled classes, there are workshops. I have enjoyed every workshop I've attended and I've learned a lot of applicable knowledge and skills! "May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be safe and at ease." ‍

Alexandria, VA - I recently had a great experience with yoga when at a work conference and realized…read moreit was time to find a solid studio to take on a more regular practice. Ran across this studio in an office building close to Huntington Metro. Right now there's a fantastic new student offer - 14 days of unlimited yoga for $30. Such a great low risk way to check it out! Scheduling is super easy via the website. It even sends calendar reminders. One can take the Metro or drive as this location features plenty of free parking. Once you schedule you are issued the door code to enter the building. The fourth floor studio holds about 20 or so students comfortably. Classes are taught by the studio owner Sarah and a few other teachers. So far I've been to the foundations class twice. Sarah talks through each pose and walks around to check how people are doing. I appreciate the slower pace and the fact that she offer suggestions to either make a pose harder or easier if needed and also coaches on alignment. Each class ended with resting at the end. Sarah also played the singing bowls which I will be honest I find a bit uncomfortable on my ears but if others in the class dig it, who am I to say differently? The Wednesday class features a 30 minute meditation afterwards. In this class different types of meditation are explored. It's easy to see that Sarah really cares about her students. The studio is neat and tidy and overall very welcoming. Sarah finds a lot of joy in what she does and shares that joy with her students. In my most recent class she cooked up a batch of turmeric milk for students to taste. Pretty neat! When my 14 day new student offer expires I plan to purchase a class pack to make this a regular part of my fitness routine. I am grateful to have found this lovely studio.

Rundown: Class Format: Strength Instructor: Jake Class rating: 5 Studio rating: 4.7 I came about 10 minutes early - check-in was easy. I entered the room and was immediately greeted by Jake. He gave me a thorough rundown of everything and his mini-lesson helped me have a great first class. I did the strength class format, which is 15 minutes of rowing and 30 minutes of strength training. It was upper body. While the strength training didn't seem intense at the time, I felt it - then and the next day. It was a great workout and there was free street parking nearby - may be more challenging during peak times, though. Anyway, I'd return.

She eventually connected me with the amazing Abigail via email. From the moment Abigail and I began communicating, it felt like I had known her for months. She was warm, pleasant, professional, and extremely helpful every step of the way. Fast forward to today, May 31st -- the day of my private hot yoga birthday party -- I finally had the opportunity to meet Abby in person, and she was just as amazing, caring, and welcoming as she had been over email. I loved how she took the time to learn everyone's first name and greeted each guest personally. She was attentive throughout the session, noticing when some of my guests were getting too hot and thoughtfully adjusting the temperature. She was also very accommodating to two of my guests, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she created a space where we could be ourselves, have fun, bring our energy, and still stay connected to the yoga flow. Every single one of my guests spoke highly of Abby and her exceptional customer service. This experience was everything I hoped for and more. I will definitely be returning soon!
