A side bonus, the sweat is the best thing ever for your skin. My skin has gotten so soft. The combination of the heat, the sweat, the stretching, the positions and the candlelight creates a unique environment that benefits both the mind and body...dare I say soul? It's not easy. It's hot and it's a workout. But, the results are well worth it. I am getting better at the poses (asanas) and that in itself is rewarding. If you are considering, I strongly recommend you give it a try! The reception area, studio and locker rooms are all very nice and clean. The gals at the reception desk are so very sweet and welcoming. The instructors are all great. They make you feel welcome no matter what level 'yogi' you are at---beginner (me) to advanced (amazing) Special shout-out to Miss Hailey Lewis.

I really love this studio and all of their classes, which is why this was so disappointing. I was…read morepretty grossed out walking into a recent class and noticing the room hadn't been cleaned or sanitized after the previous session. Everyone was expected to lay their mats directly on top of other people's sweat, and the weights were still wet and sticky. For a studio at this price point, I would expect much better sanitation practices. Clean equipment and floors aren't just about appearances, they're important for helping prevent the spread of germs and ensuring members feel comfortable. I hope the studio makes cleanliness a higher priority moving forward because otherwise it's a fantastic place to work out.

For a "high-end boutique" studio I have been attending for a year now as of this month, the past…read moreyear there have been a lot of recurring issues. First off, do not get me wrong, I absolutely love taking my spin cycle class and the two instructors I'll ever go to (Deborah Bredy & Lindsey Bridges) sometimes three when Makenzie instructs, and I have tried the other instructors out and they are NOT for me. For the last year I have watched, experienced, heard from other peers, etc. that the upkeep of the facility is not up to par with; bikes always being broken (for long periods of time), men's and women's restrooms not being up to par with what the customers need; soap (hair & body) in the shower consistently (that is not watered down), water/moisture proof cabinets (that do not collect mildew), more cabinets and add coat rack(s) for their students on the wall by the storage closet by the TRX room and spin class, and let me share with you, a membership here cost a lot more than my membership at Chaminade. So I would assume, sorry for assuming, to have consistency of machines working. Throughout the year I cannot repeat how many times the spin class bikes have been out of commission, them overbooking this specific class, not knowing how many bikes are out of services on the regular, peers sharing with the front desk on what is broken, peers of mine who don't share because, they are simply uncomfortable to do so, and seeing/watching so much miscommunication from student to staff to upper management. It's getting old and fast! When we pay for our membership we don't expect but, demand for the equipment to work consistently - that is not a lot to ask for. It honestly is not, it's common sense. Sorry for being so blunt but, sometimes being blunt gets things done. On another note, I have missed classes because, bikes have been out of service yet not stated they are out of commission but, booked instead for operation. I have used three bikes throughout the past year that were marked as "usable" and were out of commission. My lower back KILLED me the entire 45 minutes. Now that is dedication for one to really like a class, however almost being 40 and sucking up the pain three times I will not do that anymore. It was NOT worth it for the price I pay and others to have bikes that work. People love these classes, as I do, and want to attend these classes. Why, because they are amazing and so much fun! Please please please get your bikes in order - it's a new year and a new way of running Hot Elevation to run with consistency.
