I started at Doonya taking Shruti's classes, and later switched to the Heron St location for Palak's sessions. Both of them are amazing instructors! The steps are broken down into easily graspable parts, the choreo is a little challenging but at the same time not too complex which lets you also focus on the "working out" part of it, and moreover the energy level of the instructor is what makes this class truly motivating and pushes you harder. Palak also organizes happy hours, which is a great way to meet people if you're new to the city. Would definitely recommend this class for a fun workout!

I tried the intro to silks/tissu class and had a great time. The instructor was really patient and kind, giving good instruction and helping out where ladies were struggling. In this class, we warmed up with movements to warm up our shoulders and abs. On the silks, we then learned how to hang upside down, climb, do a lock with our foot, and then a sequence where we climbed up the silk and posed. She encouraged us to try both sides and went over instruction again when we asked. I had a really positive experience and would say this class truly is beginner friendly! Be ready to engage your core! There were 6 ladies in our class and we had 3 silk stations to practice, so I felt like I had a good amount of time to practice.

The class is for both pregnant and postpartum mamas, and Maike is currently pregnant herself. There's a lot of focus on core and pelvic floor strength, which is really important for mamas both getting ready for and recovering from birth. It's easy to think of pregnancy and motherhood as the end of your old body and active life as you know it, so it's been amazing to have this safe mothering space to go to every week, surrounded by women who are both active and also mothers. Mamas can bring their infants with them to the mat, and every class you'll see women doing yoga over their babies, sometimes holding their babies during poses, or pausing to tend to them or breastfeed if they need to. It's very Integrated and seamless, and shows me there's a third way where you don't have to choose between being an athlete and being a mama.

She knows just the sequences of exercises needed to hit your targets. She is also very personable and patient. No awkward conversations or feeling like you're being pushed too hard or not enough. She is also very knowledgeable re:nutrition and can recommend some great addition resources and specialists. Lastly, she keeps you up on your homework and is also very responsive outside of sessions. Anjannette made me homemade workouts to do on my own and would answer within a couple hours if I had any questions regarding my work out. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

Get your "CUT and BUTT" with Anjanette! I have known Anjanette for over 10 years and have trained with her for about 2 years. During my time with her, we met once a week, sometimes twice a week, with breaks for holidays and vacations. I saw my arms and body transform! My boyfriend called me "armalicious". I had amazing definition, and even my back was just beautiful! Can we say strapless dresses and tank tops galore? I just really loved how she talks with her gentle yet confidence voice, I was able to focus. It really helps when the trainer counts down for you too! She's so encouraging with my goals, reminding me it's one step at a time and with one foot in front of the other we will be able to climb mountains. Whenever I have questions about an exercise, or how it relates to my muscles, she knows how to explain it so I can understand. At the time, I was very new to exercise and weightlifting. Having her as my trainer was a game changer in my late 20s. She would ask me what type of fun activities I like to do and she would incorporate different workouts to make it fun and not just working out. I love her style of training. She can create an awesome workout even without any equipment, your body weight is enough sometimes. I think the first time I used a foam roller was with her because my body was so SORE!! Then again, no pain no gain. If you are looking for a trainer who's lessons will stay with you always and motivate you, I highly recommend Anjanette Price, she's worth it. You are also deserving of this investment. The time is now!

Lets not mince words - this is a Pole Dance Fitness class, and it rocked my world…read more I just had my first class with Alexis and From Mind to Body. They are currently nomadic, trying to find a studio to call home. This is where the -1 star comes from - that after I complete the beginner sessions, at least for the time being, I will have to find another group to do intermediate classes with because they simply don't offer them yet (because of spacial constraints). Sharing their studio with Satori, which is absolutely stunning, the class is small and Alexis (the substitute for the week) was extremely nice. We were almost all new to Pole Dance fitness and she made me feel extremely comfortable in the space and the moves that we were learning. We started with warm ups, where I had to unlearn everything I'd always known about proper posture, and then we learned a sexy little dance. After that, we were on the pole. The instruction was easy to understand, the class was fun, and the true test was passed - I am SORE today. I am also in love with pole dance fitness and hope that this group finds a home soon so I can keep taking classes with them. They create a fun, healthy, confident, and supportive environment where we all learned last night that pole dancing is HARD! Bringing sexy back has never been so much fun.

We started the class with 15 minutes of warm up and then went straight to the pole and learned 10-12 pole tricks. I'm close with my girlfriends, but gyrating on the floor is not necessarily something we were all comfortable doing in front of each other. However, the instructor was very encouraging and made our group feel very comfortable to let loose. She instructed us on a variety of pole moves, always stopping to make adjustments for each girl when necessary and give positive encouragement. From Mind to Body definitely does not have the ambiance of Sheila Kelly S Factor. The class was in a large pilate studio with large windows and alot of light. Definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're more shy and prefer dimmed lights and a darker ambiance, you'd be better off at Sheila Kelly S Factor (see my review). However, if you have a group of adventurous girlfriends and want to learn some pole tricks, I recommend From Mind to Body.
