20 days ago I walked into Barre and asked to try a class - this is very out of character for me bc…read moreI've never been a workout person. The entire intro experience was welcoming, fun, and less intimidating than expected. My first class I was shocked at how quickly we went into an upbeat, music-synced aerobic routine - very much like what we called an "energizer" in school: easy to follow and fun to do in unison with a group. There were small reps with provided stretchy bands, light handheld weights (I went with 2 lbs for my first class), and these squishy playground-type balls. This all sounds easy, but halfway through class, my legs were uncontrollably shaking and I had sweat visibly dripping off of my face onto the floor. The next day I could barely move my legs. Low impact, high reward! I've now been back 10 times this month and don't plan on stopping! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Barre 3 to anyone looking for a great workout class! I took several classes at…read morethis studio and loved every minute of it. The hour long sessions go by quickly and are a great combination of traditional barre workouts while incorporating cardio and light weights (2-3 pound). I had taken classes at another barre chain in town and never felt like I was truly working out, but Barre 3 will make you sweat and feel like you're time was well spent with an effective, fast-paced workout. The instructors were very helpful and offered modifications for beginners, intermediates, and those who were experienced during the classes.

I signed up for the 14-day trial and on my first day I felt absolutely so awkward & uncomfortable. This studio is definitely wasn't for me. I didn't feel welcomed by the other boot campers and felt like their are cliques. Would not be going back. I might give Burn Boot Camp in Lake Murray a try.I love that there are a options in the Columbia area such as Studio Fire and Yoga Six that'll be trying out next.

absolutely love this place! I started coming here in order to change it up from my usual 5 am gym…read moresession. I have always loved yoga, so much so that i did 200 hour teacher training course and am registered with yoga alliance. i so wanted to get back in to a routine of increasing my pratice after a long break. I searched everywhere for a place that offers yoga at 5 am, and as many of you yogiee know there jus isnt anything at that time in the morning. I ended up coming across Bikrama yoga aka hit yoga, and thought i would give it a try. The location isnt the greatest, meaning its hidden, and if you are not careful you will miss the parking lot completely! Parking isnt bad, i usually park in the back behind the building, never had any issues that early in the morning. As i mentioned earlier i attend the 5 am class MWF. Doors are usually opened 15 mins prior to the start of class. inside you can expect to find a cute little studio equiped with showers and all. Mats and yoga wear is available for sale inside the lobby area, (but it is pricey) the actual class takes place on the other side of the glass door. The studio is lined with mirrors and balance bars similar to what u see in a dance studio. The floor is carpeted and the heat is turned up! Class starts promptly at 5am. The intructors are knowledgeable and lead you through a hour of different poses that flow together openning up your heart and mind. The tempterture keeps me sweating and my bones warm allowing me to get deeper in my poses, this yoga def gets you sweating and burning those calories, and jus as you get ready for Shavasana they give you an ice cold wash cloth laced with essential oils to help cool you off and relax. I highly recommend this place.

This is a good small studio, and the most affordable yoga in the area. The highest proportion of…read moreclasses are taught by Kimberly, the owner, but there are numerous other teachers as well. Classes tend to be small, ranging from six to twenty people, and generally everyone gets some individual attention, especially those who have less experience or experience trouble getting into the poses. The first class is free, and after that $14 each, although teachers, students, and military personnel get classes for $9. Classes are definitely a physcial challenge, both to strength and flexibility. The only real improvements I could see would be a larger practice area and a bigger changing area/locker room. I'm a guy who sweats a lot, and if I need to go anywhere after a class, the best I can do is a baby-wipe shower in a one-person bathroom.

I am not a member but I dropped in for a special class that's being offered at 7:30pm Wednesdays…read moreduring the month of July... Restorative Yoga with Helen Summer. Since this was my first time at this studio my first class was free (drop-ins thereafter are $10 I believe). The clientele was a bit older for this class (as in past their college/grad school years), I'm not sure what it's like for the traditional classes. Kimberly the owner was very friendly and welcoming upon my entrance and "registration" (they have you fill out a release waiver). The studio is just one big room, with storage and one bathroom in the back. I brought my own mat, but they do provide all other props free of charge (blocks, blankets, sandbags). Unfortunately my asthma flared up and I started having a coughing fit during the wind down of the class (gah so embarrassing) so I excused myself to go cough in the bathroom, when I returned to my mat, Helen had put a few tissues and a cough drop down for me annnnnnnd eventually had to give me a water bottle. Although I was embarrassed, I really didn't feel any judgement. Thank you!!!!!! The class was excellent, very relaxing and a nice change (very good for the lower back pain I was having). Amsa also offers basic flow, vinyasa flow, deep stretch, yin yoga, and gentle stretch as well as special events led by out of town yogis! Check their Facebook for updates. I highly recommend!
