I was looking for a new gym. looked at almost all in Lansing, both online and toured a number of…read morethem. When I walked in here, it was like coming home. The owner is very nice and when he saw me and new I was new, went out of the way to introduce himself. I had a tour with one of the trainers who works out of the gym, and he was both super knowledgeable and nice. I have been when pretty busy, and when I was the only one in the place and never had an issue getting in my full workout. If I was to give any criticism it would be that the locker rooms are small (well the mens one is) but they cannot really do anything to change that, and they are adequate.

I was in Lansing for the weekend and was looking for a place to get a work out in. I do a lot of…read morefunctional fitness, so if I can avoid a planet fitness and go to a place that has free weights and a turf area, I'd be willing to pay. I called the gym, but no one answered; typical. However to my surprise, I received a text from the owner saying he was in a meeting and couldn't get to the phone but wanted to know if I needed anything! I told him my situation and he gave me an entire weekend pass! The gym is a fob entry system, I went in the morning and had the whole place to myself, they had an awesome environment with lots of options. I enjoyed the place so much I decided to support it and buy one of their awesome fitness sweatshirts, which was only $20! I had a great experience and when I'm back in Lansing, I know where I will be.

In the 60 minute session, I burned over 600 calories. I enjoyed the mixture of weights and cardio that was provided. Even in the busy class, the instructor was able to direct everyone smoothly.

I went here yesterday after buying one of their three pack groupons. It was fairly challenging and…read moreby the end of the workout I was definitely starting to get a little worn out. I felt like I got a good full body workout, and am a bit sore today (not so sore it's unbearable, but a good level of soreness in some of my weaker areas like arms and shoulders). I enjoyed that there was a variety of activities and you move quickly between them so if you're not a fan of a particular activity it's over pretty soon. Our instructor had a lot of energy and was very clear in giving instructions, and the atmosphere is comfortable. That being said, the class is challenging and I think next time I'll need to pace myself better throughout the workout until I adjust to the intensity (I'm usually more into running & yoga). I'm looking forward to my next two classes and will most likely continue going to classes after my groupon is over.

This is a great place to begin your yoga journey! I took my first class in 2017 and it was…read moredefinitely challenging, but that's what drove me to come back. Each time I was able to do a little more and enjoy it more! I learned so much about yoga philosophy and the physical side of things just from attending classes! The growth in myself that I observed was amazing! I went through the 200 hour teacher training program here in 2019 and I can't even possibly express how grateful I am that I happened upon this studio. I have taken at all of the other studios in town over the years and nothing compares to the care and compassion that the teachers at Yoga State have for their students! Thank you Yoga State!! Don't be afraid of the challenge!! Everything in life that is good should make you uncomfortable! If you feel that uncomfortable feeling, you know that change is coming and in this safe environment that has been created, the only outcome is something so amazing!! I recommend taking from Jen if you want to get really real with yourself and what you can accomplish!!! You will grow so much so fast!

I actually love that it's semi personal because watching the more experienced people is super helpful. I have faithfully come and have been able to remove my knee braces that I have worn for years because my surrounding muscles have been strengthened.

Laurie: The Friendly Facilitator From the moment I came into the building for the first time, Laurie was very helpful and continues to be as she provides monthly receipts for my Health Savings Account. Her proactive assistance ensures that administrative tasks are smooth and efficient, allowing me to focus on my fitness journey without any added stress. She's a good instructor as well! The one that keeps me coming back is Jessica Stemen; she is the magnet. Jessica is keenly aware of my limitations and adapts the exercises to accommodate me, and others in the class as well. The appropriately sized classes make it possible for instructors like her to provide personalized attention. Because of her partnership in fitness, I have experienced positive measurable outcomes in my health. I am so grateful for her dedication and expertise. Of course, I have taken classes from Steve Flintoff and Amy Feldpausch. They both have great attitudes and provide excellent instruction. Their enthusiasm and professionalism truly represent SOF well, and I always look forward to participating in their sessions. In fact, your staff are your secret sauce! The collective efforts of the entire team create an environment that fosters growth, well-being, and a sense of community. Each member brings their unique strengths to the table, contributing to the overall success and reputation of SOF. In recognizing these exceptional individuals, I hope to highlight the extraordinary impact they have on the lives of those they serve. Their commitment to excellence and genuine care for their clients' well-being make SOF a remarkable place for fitness and health. Thank you for all that you do. Sincerely, Kelly Arndt
