Fluent…read morein English and Italian, she walks you through poses and adjusts you properly when you're off. My background is in Bikram but having attended Keisha's Vinyasa Flow, I've been converted. You break a heavy sweat yet leave class feeling serene. Each class is slightly different from the last so every class is challenging and never dull. Classes are small/intimate and the studio is clean, quiet and peaceful. Now if only she had a studio in San Francisco...

Ok, def. nicer than Swan - though slightly more expensive (just paid 135€ for two months at Swan;…read moreRicciardi = 158€ *plus* registration and assorted fees). Ricciardi feels far less cramped, cleaner, and friendlier--and has longer hours! On the other hand, Ricciardi also seems much more finicky: have to bring a photo for the card, and one is expected to bring a separate pair of "clean" gym shoes ?!? (not sure how rigorously that is enforced). No good bike parking in the immediate vicinity.

The plates are so old you can't see what weight they are. There's no clips for the ends of the bars. The floor is wooden, and dented and chipped. The cardio machines are erratic at best. The space is massive, and there's tons of equipment, but it's all old, and tatty, it's badly laid out, and half of it doesn't work properly. Besides this, it is massively oversubscribed by American students, so you need to time your visit, because if you go between 6pm - 8pm there will be so many people there won't be any space for you to work out. And when I went in April, and it was 27 degrees outside, the owner said it was too early in the year to put the air con on. Unfortunately, when it's that hot, opening the windows doesn't make it any more comfortable - but I got the impression that keeping her customers comfortable was not her priority.
