I was looking for something different than my usual yoga class, so keep in mind, her Restorative Stretch class is NOT yoga. Because this isn't yoga, you'll also want basic equipment with you if you have it, such as a stretching strap, bolster, block and tennis ball. Maya said they tend to adjust the props needed for class based on what people have available at home, which is so thoughtful! The class focused on isolated stretches and working different parts of the body in unique ways with the props. I can tell Maya is a passionate, very intelligent instructor - she was excellent about verbally announcing modifications and checking in on the group. Studio Maya offers dance classes and core classes but no yoga. However, if you have physical limitations, you will be able to keep up in the Restorative Stretch class. It is slow-moving and thoughtful. I love Brooklyn, NY, and the next time I find myself there after the pandemic,, I would absolutely stop in for a class with Maya again!

Firstly, I'd like to mention that I have no experience with Pilates or yoga. On a daily basis, I'm…read moreengaged in boot camp or spin classes. So, it was a unique experience to have a slower pace class. The studio is massive and there's also a cute changing room that's got Moroccan themed lighting and pillows. The studio has water, water bottles, towels, and all the material you'll use in class (Bosu ball, mat, etc). As for the class itself, I took essential core and had absolutely zero idea of what I was doing. There were a lot of micro movements involved to work out your abs, but as a first timer, I felt lost and disoriented. The instructor, Maya, was of great help. She made sure I had proper posture and movement and gave me individual attention. I don't quite feel the core burn I had hoped for, but she explained the more you do it, the more you learn to isolate your muscles. She was a pleasure to meet and be taught by. Although this form of exercise isn't for me, I understand why others do it. I personally feel like you'd have to engage in it for several months to really understand the movements and see results. This studio seems to offer quality classes for those of you who are into Pilates and calisthenics. (:

Their waitlist system feels very predatory and does not foster a culture of attendance. It's one of…read morethe most frustrating experiences I've had with any class booking system in the city. I lost money on classes for which I had to waitlist weeks in advance, and if I don't constantly manage my waitlists, I lose credits for classes I can't attend. While they have a 12-hour cancellation policy for booked classes, it doesn't seem to apply to waitlisted classes, which is unfair. I bought a 3-pack intro offer and could only waitlist for classes 2-3 weeks ahead because everything else was full. If I get pulled into a waitlisted class I can't make, there's no way for me to drop it without losing my credit. Their support team refused to refund my money or credits, despite it being my first time making this mistake. The classes I attended weren't even full. All in all with $80 intro offer, I could only attend a single class. The whole thing feels like a money-grabbing scheme. I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone.

I've attended the same class w/ the same instructor numerous times and never once asked a question…read more I asked a single question in class this AM. Today, I asked a quick question only because I was literally confused. He snapped at me so hard and was so rude to me as though I was bothering him. Notably, I am a WOC and not light skinned. It was not lost on me, that he ensured he told the blonde white woman next to me so nicely that she was doing it perfectly while correcting her (so factually not doing it perfectly?) I was on the verge of tears the rest of class, and in fact missed doing numerous exercises properly bc I just wanted to leave. It's sad that when I "didnt know my place" so to speak, I was quickly reprimanded. Anyway, I thought about using my last 3 classes on another teacher who I love but I realized ultimately, it was such a bad experience - why bother going back to a studio that thinks its okay to treat students so disparately based on perceived race/class. Also, I do want to note that the initial response from the studio is likely say they aren't racist or colorist etc. These statements that act as though descriptors of behaviors, systems, structural issues and entrenched societal norms, are instead heinous accusations obfuscate the actual issue and tends to push off fixing the underlying issue.

If I did not choose this gym, I don't think I would have stuck through with my fitness journey…read more Point-blank and simple. When I first wanted to start working out, I was fairly uncomfortable with the idea of being in a huge gym and having to work out in front of people. I looked for a long time to find a space that was close to me that offered privacy. Sevenbell was one of those gyms, and while it was a little inconvenient to get to from my location, I decided to give it a try. I believe it was one of the best decisions I made. The gym is always spotless, never crowded, and I always felt comfortable in the space. When I went here (I no longer live in the area and have since changed gyms) I actually looked forward to coming every day, because I knew I would not have to sit around and wait for a machine to be free, or have to deal with rude people making noise and slamming weights. If you are like me and are looking for a gym that is clean, quiet, and accepting of everyone no matter where they are on their fitness journey, then this is the place for you. It is well worth the price and I could not be happier with the time I had spent there. Also, the personal trainers are amazing. I worked with Jesse while I was there, and I felt he did a great job with giving me a foundation to work with in my personal workouts. Cam (who is like 6'5 and looks like The Hulk after he transforms) walked by me one day and mentioned that I looked bigger, and that my form was good. It felt like I won the lottery :)

And the studio itself feels so warm and comfortable, kind of like you're doing pilates in someones living room, but in a good way. My favorite part was doing the side lying exercises and looking out at the beautiful trees. It all felt very idyllic. The class itself was wonderful. Challenging but also relaxing. The owner was equally lovely and personable, very different than my previous studio which I belonged to for 4 years and no one even knew me by name. I will definitely be back!
