I was able to observe a class to see if I would be interested - and I did give it a try. I did a weekday evening class (Reformer Jump) and a Saturday morning class (Core Reformer); both were a bit intermediate. However, the instructors were patient in helping to make sure everyone was able to keep up and stay on point - or do what is more comfortable for the individual. I probably need to engage strictly in "very beginner" classes, lol! Unfortunately, the beginner friendly classes seemed to only be offered during the weekday morning hours and I work full time. In any case, for those who are interested in Pilates, I would certainly recommend this place. Note, individuals are responsible for sanitizing the equipment after the class is over. Hopefully, everyone sanitizes correctly for the next person.

This review has been a long time coming. I've been taking Pilates classes at Core Aspirations,…read moremainly in Crawfordville and a few in Tallahassee, for almost seven months, and I have had nothing but a wonderful experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and make everyone feel comfortable, no matter their fitness level. The classes are well-paced and challenging in the best way, and they have made me stronger, more balanced, and refreshed. I really appreciate the clear guidance and positive energy in every session. I definitely recommend Core Aspirations to anyone looking for a great pilates workout in a welcoming environment.

After 250 classes, the obsession has turned into a lifestyle. Pure Barre is a great workout and a…read moregreat community. There are three different types of workouts all meant to achieve "lift, tone, and burn" during your class. Pure Barre Classic is a barre class that focuses on tiny movements. I love how low impact it is! It made it safe and easy to get back to regular workouts and I have seen many pregnant women able to handle the majority of the class. One of the instructors carried twins to full term and was doing Pure Barre nearly all the way to the end! That is how gentle it is on your body! Pure Empower is a cardio workout with a platform involved. It really gets my heart rate up and I get into the awesome music mixes they play. Pure Reform is a Pilates style class using resistance bands. It was really a game changer in improving my shoulder and arm tone, in particular. It is an excellent total body workout too. All the teachers are great! They each have something that is unique they bring to class. I never even consider what teacher is teaching I just take the class time or format I want because everyone is really fun. You can really tell they all love Pure Barre too. The studios were recently refreshed and the vibe is light and energizing. Each class finishes with a nice stretch and cool down that lets me have a few moments of zen "me time". There are challenges and monthly goals you can sign up for to keep you accountable. They have classes all day starting as early at 5:30am and as late as 6:30pm they recently added a second lunch hour class for those that take a later lunch. The workouts really feed on each other, so you are constantly improving which helps keep you motivated and interested in your workout. I wish I had found out about Pure Barre years ago but I am so glad it is in my life. Give them a try!

I am leaving this review only because this company uses software that obtains your information…read morethrough it's ads apparently. I just received a phone from them stating that they "Received my information" and wanted to talk about me about joining. When I asked how they "received my information" they informed me I must have clicked an ad or social media post. I do not recall doing so, but its possible I clicked something. Regardless, clicking an ad should should not result in a phone call. I find this to be predatory marketing behavior. It immediately makes me not trust this business. I will say the person I spoke to was very nice and said they call people all the time who do not recall clicking an ad. They understood I was not interested and polite about it. Ultimately this person is just doing their job. Given that we live in a world where data is stolen, sold and people get inundated with spam calls I think its bad practice to use this type of marketing for a "local" business. It feels predatory and out of touch.

There's only six designated parking spots if that, very inconvenient when there's like 100 plus…read moremembers and you have six parking spaces in Collegetown so parking can be horrible anywhere in the area. I can't count how many times I've had to leave without going to complete my workout simply because there was absolutely nowhere to park. you spend the entire day waiting on your workout time and get there and find that it's full of people that aren't even on the schedule that just decided to join Friends or whatever it can be incredibly frustrating. Today is one of those days where I absolutely could not find anywhere to park after waiting all day to go do my workout after work once again drove Home incomplete for the price I pay. They should have a lot more parking than they do. So disappointed!!

I have surveyed the market and I can tell you that Fit and Functional Is the best in individualized…read morephysical therapy. I had been essentially bed-ridden for 18 months, primarily with serious nerve damage from a fall down a long flight of steps. After many surgeries, my pain management team gave me a choice of 10 physical therapists. I stayed with my first choice for 6 months. Although highly rated, they did it "by the book" without regard to my personal situation. And it was not a private session: A physical therapist would get me started on an exercise and then get the next person started. What's more, even with medical insurance, my out-of-pocket costs were very high. Over time, I visited every place on the surgeon's list, tried some, and was eventually referred to Fit and Functional by a family member who is excellent at medical research. She recognized that Sherman and his staff had the exceptional training I needed. My situation could not be handled with a cookie-cutter approach. I have been with Fit and Functional for 10 months. First, they worked on my balance issues so I would stop falling even on a level surface. They have steadily helped me regain strength and stamina. I go twice a week and work with a private physical therapist who is terrific. I could not ask for anyone better - this includes Sherman and anyone else I've worked with. They understand MY body and what I need to do. Sherman diagnosed my lymph node problems before the medical doctors did and he adjusted my sessions accordingly. I am steadily improving and look forward to my sessions there, which, by the way, cost less than the recommended physical therapists.

Whether you're a barre elite or just a newbie looking to get in shape while having a little fun,…read morethe Refinery will welcome you in with open arms and show you the ropes! The Refinery is a barre fitness studio that has created a process called BodyREmix: Release. Revive. Retain. to help you sculpt your body in the best and fastest way possible! Their Barre Original classes are one hour low impact workouts that still target the total body. Taking a strong influence from ballet, yoga, and pilates, barre is about performing small movements to strengthen muscles that you didn't know you had! Every strength segment is followed by a brief stretch to soothe your muscles and limit soreness. On my last visit, Sheryl Webster, the instructor and the business owner, took us through a tough but fun Barre Original workout set to some upbeat music that kept you pushing through the pain! I was so glad to see both seasoned barre athletes and rookies like myself out there! I thought I was at least mildly in shape before taking the class, but I was suffering from a special level of soreness that I didn't know was possible afterwards. I can certainly attest to how good of a workout barre is! You may become addicted, since they make it hard to go back to boring ole weight lifting! Seriously, give a barre class a try!

They are willing to work things out , respect you, and are open to receiving feedback. I think the best woman in Tallahassee can be found here!

Driving to the studio, I started to feel butterflies in my gut because I wasn't sure I was going to catch onto the moves fast enough. But I wasn't going to let those butterflies get to me. I let my guard down and wanted to try something new!! Pulling into the parking lot, I liked how there was private parking in the front of the studio. I suggest backing into the parking spot because it would be easier to get out after class. (I personally didn't this time - but next time I will) Walking into the studio, the kick-ass vibe was immediately felt. I was greeted with a warm welcome, brief outline of what to expect, where stuff is and how everything runs. The atmosphere was pretty cool... blue neon lighting, flashing lights, music thumping and positive attitudes from everyone! The class was represented accurately. Simple dance moves with high energy cardio. Once you start forgetting about how the steps are done and get into the beats of the music, the dancing becomes second-hand movements. My motto was to have fun! And that is exactly what I did. I loved it! I recommend Drip Drop Fitness Studio because it is fun and something new! Bye Bye 2018, H-E-L-L-O 2019!
