I joined the pure barre community after discovering their super central location in shadyside while…read moreexploring the area. They have a massive parking lot so I never had any issues finding parking unlike the other gyms I have had memberships at in the past. They have multiple different types of classes and they will all kick your butt in the best way. I started with an intro class (free for new clients!) to learn about the equipment in the studio and experience how the flow of the class works. The staff is incredibly friendly and motivating. The other folks in class are also so kind and were helpful knowing that I was new. I always feel amazing after every class I have taken and can't wait to continue with Pure Barre. Whether you are a beginner, dancer, non dancer, HIIT workout girl, this workout is awesome and will tone you in all the right places. I love that I have added Pure Barre to my weekly workout routine and always look forward to my next class.

I've been a member of barre3 in southpointe for about three years. I had a brief hiatus and with…read more100% certainty my physical and mental health suffered greatly! Firstly, these workouts are not a joke - they're tough! But the professionals who teach there are so amazing at helping everyone adapt to their body's needs. Some days you can push to the edge and some days you can't - you will be challenged at barre3 but never made to feel embarrassed or weak if you need a break or need to modify the flow. Secondly, the space is a major reason I continue with this particular studio, even driving from Pittsburgh for a bit to get there. It's open and inviting with loads of natural light! I looooove that. They have everything you'll need - clean towels, all the equipment, plus toiletries and showers etc. Lastly, each class ends with guided breathe work - just five minutes with the music soft and the lights off learning a breathing exercise to end the class. I can't tell you how many times this place, the people there and the workouts have lifted me out of some darkness. Specifically, the owner Katie, is hilarious and you can't be around her without feeling better afterward. Five hundred stars barre3!

I push myself to do every rep even when my muscles have had it, and I am only slightly sore the next day and completely recovered by day 2. The session always ends with adequate stretches to the muscles used most. I see a change in my body after just 2 weeks and I feel amazing. They change up every class so you never know what you're gonna get and you never get bored. Every instructor I have had so far has been a real pro. I highly recommend this to anyone who is generally physically healthy and wants to improve muscle tone and flexibility.

The experience was a good one, and if I were going to be staying in Pittsburgh, I would likely buy a membership! I was recommended to V3 after looking for a place in Pittsburgh that does hot yoga. I had heard they were good, but wasn't sure how long I'd be in town, so I didn't sign up for a membership or even take a first visit. That was a mistake. They offer free seven day trial memberships and so I finally went in for a visit. The forrest yoga class was AWESOME. I don't remember the name of the lady who instructed for that class, but I think it was a double name (like Anna Lee). She was friendly and professional, gentle yet challenging. The class was full enough to have comfort in numbers, and small enough to allow the instructor to actually see everyone. She made enough comments throughout the class to give people feedback and encouragement as to their form. Having had some exposure to yoga but not being an expert, the feedback was great! I'd go again, and probably will when I come back for a visit. In the meantime though, it was a worthwhile trip and their prices looked definitely reasonable. *I've been to Core Power Yoga and another major chain. The instructor here was comparable in knowledge to even the "big names", and the atmosphere was definitely more personal. **The class I went to was a hot yoga class; their calendar is on their website which lists which classes are hot classes and which aren't. Major props to them for that one. ***The negative point which stands out the most to me is their reviews on Google maps and places; every review reads as though it could have easily been written by an employee of the facility, and some clearly were. One even included a claim by the owner of "I guarantee it!" If the organization were to remove these artificial reviews, I would recommend V3 much more readily.

Two years ago, I was a yoga newbie…read more I've never been athletic or flexible; I never had good balance. I was a gymnastics and dance school dropout as a child, and I've never liked working out. Plus, I'm in the over-50 demographic. The only reasons I even considered trying yoga were: 1) on the advice of a personal counselor who thought it could help me unwind; and 2) the attractive pricing offered by this studio (then called V3, now called Take Yoga). Honestly, I was hooked from the first day. The instructor for my first class (Leigh Ann) was young but wise, patient and clear in her instructions. She never made me feel as if I "didn't belong," and has been a source of inspiration and encouragement ever since. I am now a faithful practitioner and usually get to two classes a week. I would come more often if I could! Each of the instructors at this studio has a different teaching style, but I have enjoyed all of the classes (even the tough ones, and the hot ones) despite the fact that I'm often the oldest student in the room. The atmosphere is welcoming and non-competitive, and the other students are friendly. Plus, the place is as clean as can be. What yoga has done for me: My balance, posture and strength have improved remarkably. My family has noticed that I'm calmer, and I feel more centered. Yoga has helped every aspect of my life; I'm convinced that it helped me recover from recent foot surgery and now that I'm back on my mat, I'm a happy camper. I highly recommend this studio! Namaste!

I highly recommend At The Wall Pilates for a full body work out. I've taken both private lessons and group classes, and I can attest that every instructor is professional, knowledgeable, and positive--which is huge when it comes to working out. The facilities are clean and comfortable; everything you'd expect from a high end Pilates studio. Thankfully, the prices are competitive, and worth every penny. I make it a priority to take class here whenever I'm in the Pittsburgh area; and as an LA resident, I only wish I had a regular studio like this in my neighborhood. Also, my back and abdominals feel better thank ever!

The studio is designed for small classes making it easy for modifications based on individual needs. I have been practicing Pilates there for 8 months, on average 2-3 days per week and enjoyed a unique class each time - instructors keep it fresh and interesting. NEVER in my life did I think I would do spinning but because of the instructors and clientele, I am slowly being converted. Highly recommend for those trying Pilates for the first time to those that have been practicing for years!

I arrived 5 minutes early and was able to find parking right out front. This studio is as far from your chain cycle studio as you can get. It's a small, intimate cycling area that was decorated in such a way that I felt like I could've been inside a lava lamp. There was a fan going and what smelled like eucalyptus essential oil. The instructor and co-owner of the business was friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable. He picked an interesting variety of upbeat music to cycle to and the class was customizable as far as how difficult it was. You're able to go your own speed with whatever level of resistance, though they do encourage you to challenge yourself. I'm used to the clip in shoes that the chain cycle class provides, but here you have the option to wear your own sneakers and just strap them to the pedals. I felt like this wasn't as comfortable to me, but it could just be personal preference. There are no metrics tracked here. You can't see your speed or watts and you don't see if you're going faster or slower than the bike next to you. So, if you're looking for competition that's displayed numerically, this isn't the place. After the class, I was treated to a quick walk through of the total gym property which included a weight lifting area, kickboxing, a whole rowing gym in the basement, and an area for group classes that had some TRX straps. I was impressed!
