I am traveling from NYC, where I practice Pilates avidly and teach anatomy classes in a Pilates…read moreteacher training program, and I am SO happy to have found the Pilates Place here in Grass Valley. I have had individual sessions with their newest teacher, Sofia, and have been to two group classes now with Jacqueline. I DEEPLY appreciate that the group classes are small enough that each student receives individual attention. I have had scoliosis all my life and I rely on Pilates to help unravel and realign my spine and improve my overall posture, which takes a thoughtful instructor who incorporates stretching and addresses alignment and fine movements. It's SO difficult to find group Pilates classes that feel thoughtful as well as give a great workout, and I'm overjoyed to have encountered the Pilates Place to continue my practice while I'm away from my home studio in Gramercy. This studio also has the Konnector system (four straps!) on their reformers; I've never used it before and it adds a new element of balance and body awareness to the practice that I've never experienced! I'm already excited for my next class.

Sam is absolutely phenomenal. Now for the review…read more I come to voice lessons with years of experience in youth choirs and a few stints in adults choirs. While rusty I left each experience feeling a renewed control of my voice in speaking and singing. Sam is professional, intuitive, playful, and skilled; which makes sense as he has decades of experience singing professionally and for fun. With clear and precise instructions he helped me warm back up to my voice. There was even a moment he played a familiar melody and I burst into song, clearly deviated from the exercise. He just played on, celebrated by enthusiasm, and brought me back to the work. Let us be clear, we had FUN advancing through the exercises as he critiqued my voice, helping me fine tune it every step of the way. While I am not a beginner, he comes off as an instructor who would help anyone willing to work to find strength in their voice. Cannot wait for our next session together!

Sam is wonderful! His gift for sound healing is intuitive,…read moreinnovate and professional. In just a couple sessions he was able to bring forward a subtle awakening through me to create deep awareness and release energetic blockages. The beauty of the sound healing sessions are that you don't have to "do" anything. I completely trust Sam and was able to drop into a deep place of stillness and awaken to my true self. I look forward to continue working with Sam and highly encourage anyone working with deeper issues that haven't had success in other modalities to try his technique and hope you feel the same quality of results I did. Thank you!

I am a young 65 year old with severe scoliosis and stenosis. I look forward to class each week. Eileen has such a calming , positive energy and has so much knowledge about the body and the healing benefits of Qi Gong. At first I did many of the exercises from a chair, but I am now able to complete the class usually without this modification. I also see a big difference in my breathing when I'm taking walks. I am able to walk up inclines without getting winded. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to follow the form in the online class, but Eileen explains things very clearly, and positions her body so it is easy to follow. She also takes questions at the end which often help me. I am very lucky to be able to be her student because I live in Oregon. Though I can't wait to be "on the other side" of this virus, I hope her Zoom classes will continue when life gets back to normal.

Actually it's 1 star. I tried to give it 1 star but this review was buried and not fair to the…read moreconsumer. I was a loyal member of Sweat Studio when it was located in Nevada City and continued to support the business after it moved to Grass Valley, even referring others and maintaining my membership through COVID. The expanded space allowed for more classes and room to participate. However, over time I became uncomfortable with certain aspects of how the studio was operated. Classes are consistently heated to around 105-108 degrees, and members are strongly discouraged from leaving the room if they feel overheated or unwell. While I understand the purpose of heated classes, I believe participants should be able to take breaks for their own health and safety without judgment. Additionally, the studio environment increasingly reflected the political views of the owner. Posters and messaging expressing political opinions were displayed in the space, which I found distracting in what I expected to be a neutral setting focused on wellness. I also experienced challenges with how concerns were handled. For example, I reported issues with another male member's behavior over an extended period and did not feel supported or reassured that the matter was being addressed. People also are allowed to park in the handicapped parking spot when able bodied. At times, I also sensed inconsistent treatment among clients, which impacted the overall atmosphere. While there are aspects of Sweat Studio that many people may enjoy, my personal experience ultimately led me to look for a fitness environment where I feel more comfortable, supported, and safe.

Since the start of the pandemic I lost some of my healthy routines and gained weight. I have always been a runner and a yogi, but it has been difficult to lose this pandemic weight just through running, and unlike the Bay Area, in the summer it's too hot to run up here! I also have a strong aversion to lifting weights, I would have never considered it "fun". In the short 3 months I have been here, Sweat Studio has completely changed by life and my body. Shelly, the owner is a fantastic teacher, highly motivating, and so kind and welcoming to beginners like me. For the first time in my life, I enjoy working out and feel motivated to push myself past my physical comfort zone. I strongly recommend that you check out the variety of classes they have here- hot yoga, dance, pilates, sculpt, circuit training, and cycling. There are also a variety of teachers and styles- so if you are looking for someone to kick your butt as you sweat to Cardi B or let your stress go in child's pose, I promise there is a teacher for you. Thank you to all the Staff at Sweat Studio, I feel so grateful to have found you! Also, just FYI the studio is sparkling clean:)
