    I just needed to write a review exclusively about the Zumba class, hosted by Richard…read more I've been going on and off for a little over a year, and I got to say, I love his energy, the steps, the music.. He turns the lights off, so it makes everyone more comfortable to move around. (You are still able to see him and follow) It's affordable, $7 per class, and the timing is so convenient! 7pm Mondays and Wednesdays & 8:30 Saturday morning The only thing I'll say, is the parking isn't the greatest, but that's it.

    I do not usually write reviews or send reviews..but I just had to do it this time…read more.. My son & daughter in law decided to send my granddaughter to this "dance school" for one of the weeks they offered this year for Dance Camp. This was at my suggestion as I have heard other people say they went to this school and it was right in Johnston... I did not expect it to be one of the worst experiences of her young life. She is 7 years old..and actually a very good sweet little girl...she is just like any other 7 year old little girl...She loved it the first day and was begging her mom to allow her to go another week...the second & third day she came out crying...I am not going to get into the whole sad story but I myself picked her up the third day and was called in by the owner...who chastised my granddaughter whom was crying in my side..for plain & simple "stuff" that any 7 year old would do...nothing out of the ordinary...and while my granddaughter cried...she continued to explain all of the "things" she did to make her angry that day...example..not listening when she told her not to run so she had to repeat herself..dumping popcorn back in the popcorn maker that belonged to another child that did not want it all...(of course it should have been thrown in the garbage - but again the child is 7) along with a few other things...I was asked if she had behavior problems...she is going in 2nd grade and has been in school since preschool and has actually gotten awards for being such a sweet kid...among other things...The owner did reimburse my son but its not just the money that bothered us..it was the feeling that we sent her out to be verbally abused. I would think twice before sending your child here...I do not know the rest of the teachers - I am sure they are awesome..but the owner does not know how to deal with children..and I am so sad that I helped set my granddaughter up for this emotional time..lesson learned....

    I understand why people like MPT upon first attending. You can meet new people, learn something…read morenew, and practice together. That's how I started. But there is a lot under the surface that new attendees don't realize. Everyone single woman in the Yelp photo above (that was the pro-team a few years back) has left the company because of Carlos's (and other leadership) behavior as well as the toxic culture of the studio. I can name so many women who have complained about him to me (I won't...because they don't feel safe to out themselves). But I will tell you a bit of what women are saying (mind you, these are women who have been in the studio for several years). -If he finds a woman attractive, he'll entice you to book a private session. Those sessions are often creepy as heck (unless you bring a boyfriend or husband). -If you don't reciprocate his advances, he'll potentially stalk or harass you. Don't believe me? There are SO many women who have saved screenshots of abusive conversations with him. He has also had at least one restraining order/No contact order against him. I'll bet there are more. -He'll encourage you to be on his performance teams (as I was for 3 years), but if you don't look a certain way, he won't let you advance. I saw so many young, thin women (who had been with the company only a short time) be advanced to higher levels even though they definitely had not put in the time and training that other women (perhaps not as young and thin) had done. All that said...he's going to try to make you think that all these women speaking out against him are crazy or delusional...or that we're competitors trying to take his business. We're not. Speaking for myself, I brought people into the company while I was there...and I feel bad for that. This is me now trying to undo a little of the harm that I've done. ***No, my real name isn't Alexandra. Do you think any of us feel safe stating who we really are?***

    If you want some exposure to Latin dance, this is the place to do it!I just finished the 5 week…read moresession of beginner Salsa and Bachata and loved it! I have absolutely no dance background but have always been curious. Carlos is a fantastic teacher with a great sense of humor. The people were warm and welcoming. I was nervous to go alone but there are plenty of others in the same boat and the class is set up so you rotate partners. I honestly did not want this class to end! If you are hesitant to try something new, rip the band aid off and go!!

    I attended a free barre class here through yelp. I had never taken a barre class and didn't know…read morewhat to expect. Our trainer Michelle was a wonderful teacher and very knowledgable. She is a career dancer, so it's not like other places where a fitness instructor just takes a few certification classes. Because of her experience, she is great at explaining how to move and hold your body and how to correct your form. With a maximum class size of 5 - 6, you will have as close to personal training as you can get. The space itself is also top notch. The whole gym has a luxe feel and the studio is small but airy and bright. Between the nice facilities and unique classes, they offer a lot that you won't find anywhere else.

    My 5 stars are based on my experience with doing their non-training, weekday gym membership. To be…read morehonest, I'm not sure it's something they actively seek clients for, but since I live a block away and work from home it worked out well. I can tell this gym is focused on personal training and from the reviews looks like 5 stars there as well. But back to the part-time membership - worth every penny. Because they are a personal training gym, we usually always had the place to ourselves which I ended up really, really liking. When I was in fantastic shape, going to the regular gym was nothing, but when you've got some extra pounds to shed, having a nearly private space was amazing. I was concerned that because it was a personal training gym a trainer would eventually come up and try to sell me on some sessions, but that didn't happen. Unlike larger gyms I've been to! Also because they are personal training, you have just about every piece of free-weight/aerobic equipment that you could want, along with several machines - again at your disposal, no worrying about waiting for them. They also offer classes that look fun. Finally you CANNOT, I repeat cannot beat the atmosphere here. It is really cool inside, extremely clean, set-up well (2 floors), modern and the staff/owners are so friendly and pretty much mind their clients and not your presence. In conclusion, the weekday membership is not for everyone, but if you can swing it, it's worth it!
