It felt noticeably more humid which really helps you get a warm up and stretch so quickly. I highly recommend drinking lots of water before and after and staying near the door if it's your first time. Lots of people going in and out for breaks which was good to see. The studios and facilities are so top notch and new. Great place for an intense workout.

Went to do the intro week and it seemed like a really good deal, however the experience I had was…read morehonestly not an experience I had ever experienced in any other studio. I was meant to do a class at 11 and since the lady at the front was busy selling me and my boyfriend on a membership, it made us late for the session. Then, she didn't let us know which studio to go to and so naturally, our instinct is to go to the most visible entrance. Entering that class at its almost tail-end, no one told us we were likely in the wrong room. 25 minutes into that class, it became clear it was winding down... so we got out, and we ran to the front an she let us know it was in another room. When we went into the correct room, the instructor Binay rudely and aggressively pushed us out of the room claiming they have a 5 minute late policy, which is great and we generally agree, but to physically push people out of a room is insane Count me out. Bad management, rude instructors. The facilities are just ok. So many other options in the city.

I'm relatively new to Pilates and was very pleased with my first few sessions with Stephany. I felt…read moremy posture and flexibility were definitely better after the sessions. Stephany has varied all of our sessions which has made it more interesting and kept things fresh and challenging. She explained the purpose of each exercise really well and I felt that I'm learning a lot. Stephany is really warm and friendly. But more importantly, she really knows her subject well and seems to be able to quickly assess your needs then tailor an appropriate exercise plan. Other staff at Raise the Bar also seem friendly and good at what they do.

In part, it inspired my decision to take advantage of the free K-pop dance classes offered by Rae Studios in the Civic Center Monday and Tuesday evenings. I'm so thankful to Sassi and Andy who teach a fun class open to all levels. I'm very much a beginner, am always made to feel welcomed and included, and am always impressed at the enthusiasm and skill in teaching the choreo to everyone at a wide range of experience levels. My joy of being a San Franciscan is buoyed by K-pop offered to us all by Rae Studios. Pinkies Up!!!

I joined Rae Studios as a beginner dancer in 2024. Since then, the studio has been the highlight of…read moremy life in San Francisco. Every single teacher at Rae puts their all in. They take the time to look at you, what you're doing, and help you learn, adjust, and get to know your body more. I'm an unlimited member, but the $25 per class (or whatever it is), is the best way to spend $25 in San Francisco. Not exaggerating. Jess is such an experienced coach. She moves like water. She watches your body, and understands how it works. She makes hands on adjustments. Being in class with her - I truly feel like I'm with a professional-grade artist. Power Barre is a must, for any dancer, any fan of Pilates, or anyone who just wants a lean, toned dancer bod. And Pop Jam is so much fun. I've also taken Jazz Funk with Tashi, which is the BEST way to start a Monday. It's beginner friendly, but you learn technique. She's fun, lively, hilarious. Every single person is beaming when they leave her class. Drenched with Anna is also a pleasure. She's a delight to watch. A true athlete in her flow. It's a real workout! Belly Dance with Andrea was a surprise to me. I had no idea what Belly Dance was until I took this class. As it turns out, Belly Dance is like a mix of Pilates and Booty shaking. I didn't think I could move so precisely, but Andrea is such a good teacher, and so good at explaining the moves - I believe she can teach anyone how to Belly Dance. She has a thorough understanding of the history, the culture, and the artistry. Hip Hop with Mahi - the most energetic ball of fun there is. She's effortless. Drenched with Diamond - another great workout, and a delightful way to spend a Saturday morning. I love to take my girlfriends and get brunch in Union Square afterwards. Also, the Rae Studios Showcase was SO much fun. You get training in how to perform as a group. The adrenaline is intoxicating. There are people who do four per season, is how fun it is. How many opportunities in life are there to perform? Rae Studios makes this accessible to everyone. The world is tough right now. We could all use a little more dance and light in our lives. Check out Rae!

I've been on a group workout class kick and stumbled upon The Bar Method-FiDi once when I was…read morewalking back home from downtown. Workout classes are not cheap, but what drew me to the Bar Method was the sign outside that said 13 classes for $78 (use within 60 days.) That comes out to be $6/class! What a steal! I'd never done barre before, but have pilates and yoga experience. I liked Barre because it toned so many different areas! We started with upper body, then moved down the body to legs and glutes and calves and abs! I liked how the class attendees were much more diverse (age, ethnicity, size) than pilates classes. It's very inclusive. Owner Noreen was the instructor and she was very helpful, guiding me and others to have better form. There are pads for when we kneel and sit. The studio is clean and airy. I like their no cell phone policy--too many people in other studios use cell phones during class and it's distracting! I also liked seeing the check-in counter woman diligently cleaning the locker area outside the class room. We take off our shoes there before going in, and it seemed clean. Will be back!

I took classes online & at other locations but the San Francisco studio closed last year & we were so sad. So, when we heard that The Bar Method was opening up in the Financial District, we all did our happy dance. I signed up for the 5:30 Bar Method class & it was great to see some familiar faces & meet the studio owners (they also own the San Mateo & Palo Alto studios). It was a great class, fun & very effective & I know that I will be sore tomorrow. Looking forward to taking more classes soon!

I don't remember it having been heated in years past but i love a little sweat. Maddy and I came here last Tuesday after work and then again this morning on a Sunday am. They have lots of great class options but 11 am Sunday flow was definitely my favorite.. I mean what better way to end the weekend? The music in class was amazing and the focus on movement to breathe totally set the tone for the rest of the day. If I lived in SF, I'd definitely become a member. They have a few different locations and tho I have yet to check any of the others out, if they're anything like SF YOGA FlOW on Union St, I'd highly suggest! The studio has big glass windows and is perched on the second floor on the corner of union, so the space is filled with light and greenery from the trees on the street.

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!
