I'll just say it. Inspire was not inspiring…read more I have been taking introductory Pilates-style classes around West Seattle to find the right studio fit and was excited to try Inspire. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The instructor did not appear particularly engaged or enthusiastic about teaching. Instructions were delivered quickly while walking around the studio, with no demonstrations on the equipment, which made it difficult to follow--especially for beginners. Additionally, the studio's acoustics made it challenging to hear or understand much of what was being said. Most of us were scrambling to keep up. I could see myself getting injured and probably won't be going back. The whole experience felt transactional and very uninspired.

The studio can host up to 21 people with plenty of room to get your sweat on. The bathroom facilities are very clean and zen! They have tons of equipment options and everything was really clean.

The instructors were knowledgeable and were able to assist me with my existing injuries. I will absolutely come back here and pay to get my butt kicked!!

I attend multiple classes a week (for the last several years) and…read morealways walk out feeling stronger, less stiff/achy, energized, and so glad I came - especially after a long day of sitting and staring at a computer screen. The studio has 6 reformers for group sessions and the instructors are amazing - very knowledgeable, focused-programs, individual attention (even in a group session), encouraging, positive feedback, and overall good vibes. The clients are also very welcoming and friendly, representing every age-group and level of skill. I highly recommend West Seattle Pilates and, if you're new to Pilates, this is a great, welcoming and warm studio to get your routine going. **Bonus - local, woman-owned business (the owner is awesome and teaches the morning classes) and there's usually plenty of free on/off street parking.

I've taken classes with at least 6 different instructors and all create a welcoming, not intimidating, environment.

Highly recommend!

I've only been inside a few boxes (CrossFit aka CF uses the term 'box' for 'gym') and most are…read moreknown for grittiness or clean simplicity. This is a BEAUTIFUL space in West Seattle. The owner, Bethany, used to be an instructor at my current box; and I owe a great deal to her. Because of her knowledge and positive (yet constructive) feedback while I plowed through my first uncoordinated months of CF, I can say that I am fitter than I've been in years. Hell, I'm fitter than I was when I DID think I was fit. First, you should know that I had become a blob before I joined CF. Really. I got winded going up and down stairs and lugged around 50+ more pounds 1 1/2 years ago, so DO NOT WORRY about your fitness level. It's all scalable, and there are beginner classes to get you started if you're new. Boot camp on crack, is how I would describe CrossFit. You do team workouts, individual workouts but in a team environment, you go for personal records (PR's) from anything to running, to weights, to completing a particular workout in x amount of time. I don't think I've done the same exact workout in a year and half yet! Check out LOFT's website for their hours, fees and WODs (Workout of the Day) as I've only been here once. But, it is helpful for you to know that the entrance is in the alley BEHIND the building. (That poor consignment store lady; she was so friendly in directing people back around the building. I must remember to go and check out her store.) LOFT has lots of street parking around, and they have a small lot in the alley. This place has all the CF amenities you would expect, including a pretty high-up rope! Super-secret tip for any CrossFitter: always wear/bring long socks with you, in case of rope climbs and dead-lifts. No rope burns/scraped-up shins, k?) Aaaaand the people here are super-cool; the community, while growing, is small enough that you get to know people from different boxes all the time. It's how we grow the cult... ...Kidding. Despite what you've heard, you only have to sacrifice ONE baby goat to become part of a box. As I've said before, WOD ON!

I look around the studio and see a diverse array of women of all identities, and I love it. It is one of the things that keeps me coming back. I highly recommend barre3 West Seattle!

Earlier today I finished a 60-minute session with Kendal and I walked away better educated about neuromuscular reprogramming (NMR) and the benefits of helping 'dormant' muscles become an active contributor to your overall coordinated muscle movement. I've only had one session, but Kendal's approach did reflect what an NMR therapist ought to do given the research I did about NMR muscle testing. I've scheduled another session too. Overall, not a massage session, but I think NMR approach is the way to go to resolve a problem area that has always been a problem, but only recently (the last couple of years) has prompted me to find longer-lasting relief and increased mobility (i.e., ROM). Kendal is a great too!!! Explains what she is going to do and why and what I should feel in that particular area. Tips: Street parking only. You'll need to head to the back portion of the office building and head over to the elevator (opposite of the "Office" sign); you'll dial 219 on the touchpad by the elevator and Kendal will activate the elevator so you can take it to the second floor.
