However, this review is in regards to using the space for private events. Our son held his wedding reception here recently, and it was perfect. Vicky, from Blockers Coffeehouse (shares the building) was beyond accommodating and excellent for helping to arrange set up. GHDH provided tables, chairs, linens and sound equipment for music (we did a Spotify playlist). As this was a small and casual event (under 50 people) it was the perfect size room. The eclectic and funky decor (think vintage burlesque and swing photos, motor oil and street signs, etc) were perfect for what our son and DIL were looking for. The extremely reasonable fee gave us the entire building, which included two bathrooms (not wheelchair accessible, but ok for a walker). The Coffeehouse stayed open for us, in case anyone wanted a hot beverage. GHDH does not provide catering; however, we made use of local places, which delivered to the building (thanks Mission BBQ of Whitehall) *highly, highly recommend Blondies, two storefronts up, for the MOST delicious cupcakes.* So, if you are having an event; know you need to provide your own beverages/catering, and bring your own music. Other than that, this is a wonderful, wonderful space to hold your party, shower, reception, fundraiser, etc, etc. I could not be more pleased with how things worked for us, or how lovely everyone involved with GHDH was to deal with.

We host a variety of classes that go past the traditional dance hall menu.

For live music lovers, we've got a monthly schedule of bands that know how to rock a room. So, throw on those dancing shoes, and bring a beer. We've got a tune for you.

First, I have to say that $23 for a drop in class is an amazing price nowadays! Signing up online was simple and check in was smooth. The studio is spacious and clean, with water bottle filling stations, cubbies, and bathrooms. My friend did not have her own yoga mat and the studio was able to lend her one. The instructor, Emily, was friendly and welcoming, especially being we were probably the only new students in a class of regulars. The class itself was perfectly challenging in all the right ways! Barre is such a fun concept and Barre Balanced executes the class wonderfully. My friend and I had a great experience here and both agreed we would be back for barre or another one of their classes if we have the chance again!

The class itself was great but the business owners are horrific. It's really sad because it's enough to walk away. You call and leave a message bc no one answers and you will never get a call back, you email, no response, how does one run a business, it's disturbing. I actually tried to justify it until my husband noticed how unprofessional everyone was one day he took our daughter. I wouldn't recommend this studio to anyone that has any sense of organization in their day to day life bc you won't get it from them!

We were taught an array of moves on the pole and then moved onto a full chair dance routine. The women in our party ranged in age from their early 20's to late 50's -- and everyone had a blast! I can't say enough good things about our experience. As for the regular classes, I took a class here about a year ago and really enjoyed myself. Unfortunately, I don't live in the area or else Sweat Like A Girl would be my full-time workout studio.

I attended my first class at Sweat Like A Girl about two years ago. I was still pretty new to…read moreexercise with a ton of weight to lose, and very little idea where to get started. I quickly became tired of the elliptical, tired of the treadmill, and the only thing I knew for sure was that if my workouts continued to feel like chores, I'd never stick with them. I tried the Fight Club class after checking out classes at a few other gyms, and I was instantly hooked. It was first time I realized I could have a good time working out. It took me a while to try out some of the other classes, but now, SuperGirl is my favorite. It's always something different, but consistently keeps me working hard. But the really surprising thing was, it didn't take me long to feel comfortable there. Heather, the owner of the gym who also happens to be the main instructor for many classes, is equally a motivator, an entertainer, and a hardcore fitness instructor. I start out each class feeling scared for the intensity i know is about to be inflicted upon my body, and psyched, in the same was anybody is before they are about to do something they know is going to be completely fun and rewarding. Any class with Heather usually includes a stand-up routine at no extra charge. And not surprisingly, smiling and laughing a lot while you're sweating like crazy, definitely takes the pressure off. Actually, all the instructors are pretty cool, care about your success, and will give you a great workout. I've met a lot of people at this gym, and the pervasive attitude is one of support, non-judgement, and willingness to help each other out. The whole environment is pretty cool, and rare. There's something for everybody, whether your idea of fitness involves flipping tires, interval training, running, dancing, pole, or kicking and punching. And the price is definitely right.

They didn't tell me that I needed to buy or rent a wrist monitor so that was $110 I didn't expect then I forgot it one day and they charge me $10 to rent one. If you have a busy schedule be careful when you reschedule appointments they are not at all flexible. i missed a few classes and they charge $12 if you schedule and then don't make it. Overall it's very unfriendly from a customer service standpoint. The kind of management that writes a tough binding agreement and the quotes it at you.

Just be aware that there are times that the lot does get full; however there is street parking. I was surprised that we had no difficulty with parking today. It was such a gorgeous, dry late Sunday morning. For parents with babies and young children in strollers (and for other "pet parents" using strollers) I have a beagle who has difficulty walking. She needs a stroller so I have brought her many times with it.... I don't have difficulty on the walking paths or in the parking lot... it's very easy for me which is so nice. It means I can bring both dogs with me alone at times (today was a super bonus because my husband walked our other pup). As far as wheelchair accessibility, I need to check it out more carefully next time. Having spent only a small amount of time in a wheelchair a few decades ago - I can relate to how difficult it can be to get around. I am pretty sure it's very easily accessible. I will check everything when I go back... The restrooms are pretty clean most of the time. It's nice that they are there!! There are many benches throughout the park. It's hard not to be "in the moment" and "mindful" while at this park. There's so much beauty. Today we saw many ducks swimming. And the sunlight against the bright blue sky......
