Dropped in for a Hot Power Fusion class via class pass and was very pleased with the studio. The front desk offers free mat and towel rentals that you return at the end of class. I took a hot power class and was a bit thrown off on how HOT the class was. It was a great work out but just wished it wasn't so hot. Definitely a non traditional yoga class but nonetheless an excellent work out. Facility had self locking lockers, showers, bathroom, getting ready station, and water station. read more

AMAZING studio, super clean inside and the locker room showers were a great experience with nice products. Great workout and studio with super friendly staff & parking validation. Def want to return and look into more classes after this experience. read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hot8? More like Cold Mold. Been going here for almost 2 years and it's severely gone down hill. The ONE THING, that separated Hot8 from other studios was that they WERE yoga purist and offered Birkyam style yoga (26&2) almost every day of the week. In the past few months they cut their 26&2 classes and replaced them with "strength" classes. Listen, if I wanted to go Equinox I would. Not only did they cut back on one of their best classes, despite protest from many yogis it's also gotten substantially more dirty and the yoga classes aren't even hot anymore. The lockers are filthy, the showers are filthy, you will find bundles of hair by your yoga mat and MOLD on the ceilings. Maria, the 26&2 instructor is their only saving grace. She is the reason why I will finish out my class package before Finding another studio. Hot8, if you're reading this, do better! Why are you TRYING to lose business to CorePower, YogaBox and Equinox? Is it greed or just laziness? Do better or lose business. Bring back 26&2, clean out the f-ing lockers (it's not hard), and actually maintain proper heat in your "hot" yoga classes. For those thinking of joining. Don't. It's not worth the $35/classes. You can work out in a filthy, cold place for free. read more

I'm new to Yoga, started coming to this studio about a month ago and I love it! Everything is pretty straight forward, the instructors I have had are amazing and the staff is extremely helpful. The girl at the front desk (Liz) was very sweet and helpful getting me checked in and going. I enjoy coming to this studio! read more

Marie K Classic Hot Yoga Class was outstanding! Her knowledge and delivery lead an incredible journey. The pace of her detailed instruction was perfectly in line with the 26 & 2 linage. Bravo! I will return to her class every chance I get. Too many other instructors torment you with their instructions like it's the Kentucky Derby going abound the last bend or an auctioneer driving up bids. They all need to calm down. This isn't cross fit! Learn from Marie! She is calm concise and encouraging as she remains peaceful. read more

Perched not too far from the hills of Hollywood and just west of Hollywood proper is Hot 8 Yoga. I found parking in the car park, which is also validated for 2 hours. Checking in was a piece of pie; I put my belongings in a locker and the code I'll never tell. I borrowed a mat and towel; everything in great, like-new condition. All classes are 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit (35-40.6 in Celsius, in case you were wondering). I walked into the class held in studio 3 and found a spot towards the front of the room. I took the sculpt class. I'm embarrassed, I don't remember the instructors name. He kept the class nicely heated and very upbeat. This class was a mix of cardio and yoga using ones breathe to increase strength. Sweat dripping down onto my mat/yoga towel with every pose, and all while making sure I was connecting movement with every breath taken. I used 2lb and 3lb weights during this class plus one block as instructed. Let's just say my abs were on fire and my legs were hungover the next day. Keep in mind the heat does generate your heart rate to rise and boosting ones metabolism. In my reusable cup, I had 9.5 ph water for hydration and sipped when needed. They have Himalayan salt shots to help aid with ultra hydration and to replenish electrolytes. In addition, they have coconut water for purchase. The Eucalyptus towels were energizing. Eucalyptus is amazing for so many great things from an immune stimulant to joint muscle reliever. Work and relationships, we all have obligations to the world, but it is equally important that we take care of ourselves as the world will continue to turn no matter what. So, leave your shoes and everything on your mind at the front door. After hot yoga, I felt like a new woman (I also get this feeling after my weekly massage). I am happy to report that everything was clean and tidy from workout rooms to washrooms. They really do go the extra mile and another for good measure. Are you still reading this. What are you waiting for!?! When is the last time you tried something new for the first time? As they would say in Scotland: My Lord, My Lady, thy presence is requested. #IBendSoIDontBreak #MovementIsMedicine #Gr8ful "Yoga isn't about touching your toes it is what you learn on the way down!" TIPS: 2 hour parking validated Rent mat, microfiber towel, and shower towels FUN FACTS: They have the most advanced heating system --UV-C lights kill 99.98% of harmful airborne microorganisms including bacteria and viruses as per their website states. I use magnesium oil as deodorant; it with holds the heat generated inside the rooms and any workout for that matter. read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Deep breaths are like little love notes to our bodies. "Life is all about balance!" #yogasocks - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love this studio for SO many reasons. 1. The classes are amazing, challenging and exciting 2. The instructors are kind, inclusive and compassionate (and talented) 3. The other clients are helpful 4. The front desk staff. I left a priceless necklace on the floor and came back 4 hours later to it kept safe for me in an envelope. And also important, giving my confidence back after a freak accident and back surgery. THANK YOU! read more

Love this yoga studio. Clean, friendly staff and the yogi's are amazing. Highly recommended

Hot 8 Yoga lives up to its name. There were 8 hotties there, for sure. And if you stayed long enough, you became a hottie, too. I've got the Hot 8 yoga experience for the first time. It was one to remember. The location is good, with safe underground Parking. The clean space gives one the feel of a high-end day spa. We entered from the garage, and the door to the spa was a little tricky to find. Once we got in, the staff was smiling and welcoming. Our group was supplied with everything we needed for an excellent Hot 8 yoga experience; the cool, eucalyptus towels made a big difference for me After a few failed attempts at tree pose, I finally got my balance, and I could rise above the heat into a meditative state to help me complete this session. I can't lie for a moment; I thought about quitting as I became a hottie, too. I felt a little disoriented after I left the hot box room, as one feels after a full body massage. I'm glad I stayed until the end and was offered a face and bath towel to take a much-needed shower before I left. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 experience; the ambiance was an East meets West cultural fusion experience. Hot 8 Yoga reminded me of a spa in a five-star hotel. It had all the amenities that One could ask for, and it had lockers with customizable combinations. I am thankful for the heat and steam and for what it took out of me because I had one of the best nights of sleep, and I felt like a hottie the next day. #hot8yoga @hot8yoga read more

Brand new with free 2 hour validated parking, although there is free street parking in the area as well. Love that they have showers to freshen up after a sweaty workout! Came for a Yelp Elite event for my first time doing hot yoga. I'm not new to yoga, but definitely hydrate because the class was challenging and the humidity put it over the top! I was sweating bullets within a handful of minutes and had to duck out during the last handful of minutes for fear of passing out. Love that they have ice cold eucalyptus infused face towels in the fridge to help recover. I may need to work my way up to doing hot 8 yoga again! read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Spacious sleek lobby - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They do not believe in yoga being accessible to everyone. That's a core principle of Yoga. They also do not believe in refunds as shared by their SF rep, even if they are in the wrong and tell you they will refund you, like they did to me, they do tactics like future time stamped corporate contracts or suspension forms. New update: they sent the check to a name that doesn't exist after sharing the correct name and them acknowledging it. Def have to take to small claims. If i were to deposit check, I would be legally in trouble. Very unethical, beyond unethical. Update: now forced to use mediation since they never refunded my bank... They still have not refunded me even after admitting and then stating they would refund. Checked with my bank and they never did. Then they said after a month and a follow up with bank that they couldn't refund it.... A bunch of lies. This is not a family owned business but rather a predatory corporation that is continuing to extend their anti consumer practices. Check out their F status on BBB. read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

my favorite hot 8 studio of them all. i especially love the instructor yvette g. she has positive vibes all around and plays great music. i would say it's like alternative rock and indie, the stuff millennials would listen to. she is experienced and shows how to do the poses well. always with a smile on her face. i miss her classes and wish i didn't have to move so far away! hot power fusion is great with her. i dont really like marie k. she was intimidating and her energy was threatening. i did a class with her and she was upset i had to leave due to feeling uncomfortable. the music she plays is too introspective and hippy woo woo. the facility is very clean and well maintained. front desk staff are ridiculously nice, helpful, and attentive. being such a new studio, they are killing it and i wish them all the best! read more

I love the cleanliness and sleek design of this studio. They had everything you can think of to make your workout better. Showers, cold towels, they had water for purchase and even had a blow dryer and lotion for after showers. There's a parking garage attached to the studio however parking is still hard to come by so I would say get there at least 15 mins before your class to get a spot. The staff were nice and made us feel welcomed and were so informative! Definitely a great experience and would bring my friends back for a good work out! read more

This is outrageous! My mom, who is a certified yoga instructor, came to visit me from abroad for a month and was really excited to try a hot yoga class at Hot 8 Yoga (1619 N La Brea Ave). When she arrived at the studio and tried to sign up for the Welcome Week SoCal offer, she was denied and told that it's only available to locals. Nowhere on the website is this restriction mentioned. This is incredibly disappointing -- my mom was really upset. I honestly expected better from a yoga studio of this caliber. It's not just misleading, it's disrespectful read more

I tried their sculpt class this morning and greatly enjoyed it. I really appreciated the instructor's attention to detail and overall class. In addition, the facility is for the most part clean , which is great. Now, here is the reason why I'm giving it 1 star. I paid 35 dollars for one class and yet, I'm told that if I want a towel to dry off after showering, I need to pay 3 dollars more. Wtf. I have never been to a gym that doesn't supply towels especially a fitness facility where you are going to need to take a shower given the nature of the exercise use. The front desk female staff didn't bother asking if it was my first time or offering me a courtesy exception rather simply rude. I will never step foot here again. read more

A great class. Great location, with underground parking. Staff is super friendly and attentive. The gym has everything you could need. I has a shower and a very nice bathroom. They offer 2 hour validation, which is perfect! read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Barre Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hot 8 is an incredible experience and rewarding workout. The instructors are intuitive and challenging. It's my favorite workout in LA.

I love the classes and the studio. However, the thermostat is set at 117 degrees for all classes, and it can get very uncomfortable between the heat and the humidity. I wish it were at 105 degrees to 110 degrees. read more

Incredible studio, instructors and fellow classmates. Several class options. Love the refreshing eucalyptus towels after a hot yoga class!

I love Hot 8 I've been to a few different locations and this one is just as good as all the other ones. A variety of different classes and lovely amenities. I can't get enough of those chilled eucalyptus towels read more

I am sad to say I am another 26:2 upset and dissatisfied customer. I have been at this studio for about 2 years and it had recently taken a big turn for the worse. Both Marie and Lee are amazing teachers - they do not deserve the studio and facility that is the Hot 8 Hollywood experience. And I have sent email to the management about my complaints and got a very wishywashy non answer and no action at all. The studio and locker rooms are filthy. The dirt on the woman's locker room floor is gross as is the hair balls in the showers and on the studio floor. Studio 2 the only 26:2 studio has broken heater and lights making the yoga practice not right. I do not think the studio its self has been cleaned in a couple of months and on top of that there is mold all over the ceiling. They also cut the number of actual Yoga classes down to 4 per week, replacing with strength classes - NOT a substitute. The 26:2 class which is pretty much a community has been vocal in its unhappiness but without any satisfactory answers. I wonder - are they trying to go out of business? I, unfortunately signed up for a yearly membership in June, when things were good and now feel very stuck and not listened to. What happened to the amazing customer service I had before I plunked down my yearly membership fees? Please Hollywood do better. Or just be honest and tell us you are closing the location, to drive us out with dirt, limited classes and bad management is really bad practice. read more

I've gone to the Ktown location before since it's walking distance for me and had a great experience with Buddha as the instructor. I heard about the new Hollywood location just opening up. I used to frequent this area a lot and came by to check it out. Hot yoga isn't typically my thing but I enjoy yin yoga as it's less rigorous and more beginner friendly. This location is very spacious and nice. if I plan to be in the area again, I'll pop in for another yin class read more

Some of the best classes I've taken, especially in Hollywood. Same quality of yoga & heat you'd get in Bev Hills or Santa Monica but non-crowded classes with plenty of space. Hot 8 is VERY hot though so if you're looking to sweat - come here! Worth the price in my opinion, especially compared to competitors. read more

I went to the grand opening two weeks ago and had a great experience. The space was clean and I loved my instructor, she was motivating and had a good flow to her sequence. Oh and the cool eucalyptus towel was the perfect way to end my session. I can't wait to take my next class! read more

Love this new studio! It was my first time practicing here, and each of the staff members were all more than welcoming. After getting checked-in, I got a quick tour of the space and locker room prior to jumping into my Power class. The studio room was HUGE, and both the instructor and level of heat were great. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the studio, and loved that they offer the fresh eucalyptus face towels after class. As a first time visitor, I can definitively say that their amenities were great, parking was very very easy, and they validate! I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I was just visiting from out of town and everyone interacted with knew that and still treated me with just as much care and time as if I were going to become a member. I've been to a lot of yoga studios and this one was so well managed, so welcoming. The parking in the garage is free And your first class they lend you towels and a mat read more
