Tried out my first hot yoga class it was a good experience! The FiDi location is convenient and about a 5 minute walk from Montgomery station. The studio seemed clean and well-maintained. I arrived early to check in so I would have time to get situated before class. Hannah was kind and helpful and her colleague that checked me in (I forgot her name) was friendly too. This location has plenty of lockers where you store your belongings. It is recommended to bring your own mat and towel, so you don't have to rent them. This cost is waived on your first visit. Also, definitely bring a water bottle. They have a fill-up station close to the lockers. Ashley was a wonderful instructor and I thought she did a great job with explaining poses and the pace was comfortable. She was helpful with adjustments and instructions. I will say the room was quite warm and it was challenging at first, but staying hydrated and grabbing a cool towel will help. You can always step out to take a quick breather or refill water, if needed. The locker room is alright, but they only have 3 showers and bathroom stalls, so you may need to wait. Definitely recommend bringing a towel, change of clothes, and a pair of shower sandals. I was totally drenched after class, and didn't want to head out without showering and changing. It was a good workout, and I'd be open to trying out another class or two in the future. Recommend checking out Hot 8 Yoga if you're interested in a class & curious about hot yoga! read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Front entrance on Sutter St - Barre Classes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love Hot 8 Yoga! I visited the Fidi location for the first this weekend and while the studio is down a flight of stairs, the space feels elevated and more importantly super clean! I took a Yoga Sculpt class and the instructor was great. There's water and salt plus yoga mats and towels to rent. My favorite touch was of course the cold eucalyptus towels which were so refreshing at the end of class! read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Barre Classes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I secured a founding membership here when they first opened. There has been many changes in staff and instructors. Staff is always friendly in studio. I have a couple of instructors that I trust will give me a solid workout. But many are still learning and it can be distracting to have someone that is still working on the fundamentals of the class like remembering and being confident in flow sequence, motivating tone without yelling, and music choice. They don't clean the studio in between sweaty classes. Also the locker rooms are often left in poor condition for the prices they charge. It's more like a cheap gym rather than a boutique fitness studio. But I continue because these are the hottest yoga classes in terms of temperature. And the good instructors are gems. They often change the schedule without updating the instructor to catfish people to take amateur instructors. I wish they would be more transparent with scheduling. They don't cap the amount of people in a class so busy classes can be super tight. And more than 5 times have charged me for no shows when I have attended the classes. It's a super bummer when I've been such a regular client to be charged a no show for a class I attended and have to ask for my money back. I'm writing this because I want and believe they can do better as a company. Downtown SF needs this kind of business to thrive. read more

I took my first hot yoga class in years here! Very easy to get to downtown. There's a Lyft bike dock like a block away, and many Muni lines come around here (hey, it is the Financial District.) Interior is very sleek, clean, and modern. I like how they had a water refilling station and some salts (hey, you sweat so much, you really need to replenish!) They also have cool towels which are so helpful because it is HOT in there! read more

Location was super clean and the instructor was wonderful but I was absolutely not prepared for how hot the room was going to be... I really wish the temperature was listed clearly in the "See You Soon" email we received rather than just in the FAQs link in the email. I do hot yoga pretty frequently and I had to leave the room during this class. Do your research and come prepared for the intense heat!! read more

Amazing staff and instructors plus clean and convenient facilities! It made my trip they welcomed me everyday with lovely smiles! I highly recommend this spot to sweat out while meditating on read more

I've come here on and off for the past year, and it's been a consistently good experience. The studio is conveniently located a short walk from the Montgomery muni station. As for the studio, it's always clean and well stocked with amenities, and the workouts are unquestionably the most intense I've taken. Each class leaves me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. read more

I love this studio. I first took the 1 week deal for 37$ but after I could not see myself without hot 8 yoga. I got attached. I love the smell good and feel good vibes during and after my workout. Folx are very welcoming staff and other members and I enjoy feeling good. It's Hella pricey but with how I'm feeling I think it s totally worth it paying full price. That's with the towels and unlimited. Today was the first time I took Liliana's class. I enjoyed it so much! Her voice is calming, soothing and I can hear the experience in her voice. I heard a song from her playlist that reminded me of my capoeira classes which struck happy energy to me as I was preparing myself mentally a little before class waiting inside. I always leave feeling alive and ecstatic to carry the energy thru my day and week with positive intentions set on the mat. Thankful for this empowering space! "Namasayin!!!!" read more

Hot 8 Yoga - Hot yoga front - Barre Classes Near Me - San Francisco, California

great service. Fun with friends. Definitely recommend and will go back. Drink lots of water beforehand though!

Beautiful clean facilities with large amount of space. No traditional hot yoga smell which some studios can have because they use a plastic like carpet that's more sanitary. Friendly service, knowledgeable teachers, and good vibes. Highly recommend for all levels. Ps; I love that it's hot! I know their heat level can raise some eyebrows but personally I love that they are more traditional temperature for this style. read more

When they say hot yoga, they mean hot yoga! If I'm recalling correctly, the classes at Hot 8 Yoga have been the hottest yoga classes I've been to SF. Classes: My first visit here was for a Yelp event, shortly followed by their 1 week deal. I've been to their Hot Power Fusion and Power Yoga classes. I'm a fan of both, but I prefer the Power classes, especially with Zander! They're challenging, but there's never any pressure to push yourself too hard and you're encouraged to take as many breaks as you need, or even leave the room. Since it's so hot, you definitely want to take care of yourself. Since I've been finding these classes challenging enough already, I've been hesitant to attend their Sculpt classes. (Separately from that though, I've heard good things about their Yin classes). One of the best things is the cold eucalyptus towel at the end of class - it's such a bummer when they run out on busy days! Staff: The staff and teachers have always been super nice when they greet you at the front desk. The teachers don't do the whole class with you, but they do lead you through some poses or sequences to demonstrate. I find this especially useful when the class is emptier and so there are fewer students to follow if they're doing something unfamiliar. Amenities: There are mats and towels for rent if needed. The locker rooms have plenty of lockers and I've never had an issue finding space. There are showers and some toiletries on site too if you want to freshen up after class. I'll definitely be going back for more as the yoga classes are an excellent complement to my other fitness classes (though I probably wouldn't want to do this as my sole exercise routine). read more

I took my first barre class here, and it was not what I was expecting. I didn't know the class would be heated, but I am so glad it was. The music was upbeat and so fun Lots of Doja Cat which made the class go by so fast. I found myself laughing and smiling a lot. Such a fun way to move your body and challenge yourself. But not too intimidating if you're not very good (like me) lol The studio is beautiful It feels like you're transported. I don't really know how to explain it. From the lighting to the floors to the heat it really feels like you're not in San Francisco anymore. really excited to come back. read more

Super hot studio - great sculpt and vinyasa classes. Classes all day - early morning to late night. 10/10 recommend !

I love Hot 8 Yoga. They are definitely superb to all the other Hot Yoga studios around. I recently went to core power in Berkeley and I just cannot deal with the fact that the heat is not hot enough and if you are a regular hot hot eight, you know what I'm talking about and I've been a regular too hot for a long time but right now I live in the East Bay so it's hard for me to get into the city as often but I will get back to hot eight otherwise please bring hot eight to Walnut Creek or the East Bay. I promise you you will be so successful on this side but anyway kudos to you guys for running a great business. Oh by the way, the classes are great and the rooms are always super clean and the instructors are great. I've been a member with them for like almost 5 years or more. I recently moved back up from the the LA area in the Woodland Hills location is superb just as much so super good studio. I can't wait to get back into it maybe in the new year and also when I had to pause my My Account account they were so helpful. Thank you so much to whoever is running the show over there. You guys are the best. read more

Everybody's very professional and very clean installations of the place I highly recommend

Staff is friendly and welcoming upon arrival. They have two studio rooms, locker rooms with showers, and amazing lighting. The classes itself are great especially if you've had experience with hot yoga. The only thing is that some times it may get too hot in there so make sure you hydrate before and during the class so you don't pass out. It would be nice if the instructors can check in with the students once in awhile to see how they're doing or swing the door open occasionally during class to let some cool air in bc it can get up to 118 deg in that room. This is a good place if you want a more challenging hot yoga class. read more

This studio has only 1 issue - It's too unnecessarily hot. I've been doing hot yoga for years but I left my first class at Hot8Yoga early because it was 114F. The class itself was not difficult. I wasn't tired or anything and left feeling unsatisfied. Everything else was great. Super clean and spacious. Very friendly people. They offer many classes throughout the day. I really hope they can just turn down the heat!!! read more

I took a yin class here and it was way too uncomfortably hot, and I take heated yoga classes several times a week. I signed up through classpass but they have a good new student deal as well. The studio seems pretty sanitary; the floor is designed to wick sweat and they wash all the straps after use. The locker rooms are big and the staff are nice. read more

Hot 8 yoga is such a great place to be! After transitioning from Las Vegas and not doing hot yoga for 2 years, I was looking for a new studio to call home. I'm so glad Hot 8 came to SF! The full staff is absolutely incredible, as they make each person feel welcomed and encouraged to be there. Every person I've met so far (member included) is a true reflection of Hot 8's positive energy and enlightenment. Each class you'll have the opportunity to challenge yourself and see progress in those challenges in future sessions. If you've never taken a class here before, I HIGHLY suggest you do ASAP and take advantage of their new student special. Once you come to Hot 8, you won't regret it. read more

I've been dozens of hot yoga studios in the last decade, but this is by far my favorite. Phenomenal instructors, friendly reception, clean and sleek facilities, and amply stocked amenities. Sending all my yoga friends here! read more

Ok still great studio overall, mostly friendly staff except one staffer who was giving a lot of attitude for not purchasing a membership. Look, if you have ClassPass and offer drop ins don't come at me if I book via those routes. Ruined my initial impression and now I'm completely against ever purchasing legit membership meh read more

Beautiful, clean studio with a friendly, helpful staff. Class was easy to follow, fun, and energetic. I am a regular to hot sculpt/pilates however, be warned, it is HOT here! They run classes from 105°F to 115°F (the challenge for me came from surviving the heat). Regardless, this is a great place to spend your lunch break or power down after a long day. read more

Easy to use locker no lock needed. And front who checked me in was super friendly. And they gave a cold face towel once section finished. I extremely love the heat! I hope it can be hotter! However I hope towel can be provided, a lot of sweat throught the section! read more

Clean facility and friendly staff! I'm a beginner and everyone's made me feel so welcomed. The classes are not too difficult but not underwhelming. So glad they opened near work! read more

Hot 8 Yoga gives me hope for all of San Francisco! I think anyone, noticing the new energy, the new community, and the extraordinary teachers at the studio will believe in San Francisco once again! I recommend taking any of the classes in this pristine studio. The classes are great, the studios are clean, the teachers are awesome, the locker rooms even have showers. In particular, a shout out to Nellie, Yuri, Brody. read more

This is the best hot yoga experience I have had in years! The classes are all 60-minutes, which makes it easier to fit in a work out. The instructors are pleasant, helpful, and thoughtful. The facility is beautiful, clean, and user-friendly. read more

Hot 8 Yoga is very clean, and the front desk team and instructors are always nice. Unfortunately, there are frequently last minute class cancellations or last minute changes to the type of class that will be held. Today, the class I had signed up for was cancelled and I received no notification. The only way I knew was by double checking the website and saw that it said cancelled under the class. I understand things happen, but this has happened at least 4 times in less than 2 months and it's starting to be really inconvenient. I decided to buy a membership here instead of continuing with ClassPass for a more consistent schedule. However, I never had an experience with classes booked on ClassPass being changed or cancelled last minute in more than 4 years, so it's been less reliable and consistent to have a membership with Hot 8 Yoga after all. I hope that the class schedules becomes more reliable...this studio is great in all other aspects. read more
