I joined Therapy Social Fitness a little over 2 years ago. I am so happy that I finally found an…read moreexercise regimen that I can easily stick to! There are multiple class options, however, my favorite is Barre because I feel like the workouts hit every part of my body. I feel so much stronger, and confident about my body than I have in a long time, especially as a woman in my 50s. I love the loud music and the overall vibe--it makes it fun (I often just want to dance lol) and keeps me motivated. Each instructor brings her own vibe and energy, which makes every class different so it is NEVER boring. And you are so busy trying to keep up with the moves (because you are not in any one position for very long) that the class zooms by and you are already finished with an amazing work-out! Boom! Everyone there is there to get their work-out ON and to have a little fun along the way! I feel stronger, fitter, and more confident than I have in a long time. I HIGHLY recommend Therapy Social Fitness! You'll feel SO Good!!!

I love this place! I am so glad I signed up for the free class back in March of last year. Rachel…read morewas my first instructor and while I felt nervous at first, she really helped me feel comfortable and reassured me that I did not need to be an expert to be at Pure Barre. The first class was very fun, and while I felt sore and sweaty from such a great workout, I did decide to sign up for an unlimited membership to keep it up. It was the best decision and I have more muscle and energy now that I have been doing these classes. All the instructors have been amazing and I have loved trying all the different classes. Whether you prefer "classic" which is perfect for a more traditional barre class, "empower" for a more cardio based workout, "define" to get nice sculpted arms and legs, to "align" for a nice yoga style relax vibe. This place has it all! Pure Barre has really helped me both with my physical and mental wellness.

Every training was different and they worked me enough to feel sore, but not so sore that I can't move for 2 days. I really liked how knowledgeable they were about muscles and how to stretch certain parts of the body. When I didn't understand verbally, they were able to show me with pictures and books that helped me visualize it. They would ask me where I felt the work to make sure I'm working the right muscle groups. Also, based on my day to day life, we did lots of mobility work to keep the tendons active and doing their job. They really helped me learn to balance my body and really drilled into my body the corrective things I have to do. To this day I'm still conscious of my feet posture when I'm standing. Denise really helped me fix my ankle when I rolled it crossing the street rather than just being conscious of it for her exercise plan. But she also helped strengthen it so that I'm not as likely to roll it again. Denise also gave me moves that I was able to take home and work with so that I can continue to strengthen my body for when I moved away to help me continue my workout journey.

I dabbled w F-45 and CrossFit, ect looking to find a place to fit in. My search is done after years.., my home is here at Alliance Carlsbad. Jiu Jitsu (JJ) has changed my life- first I just love being on the mat rolling w strong athletes that are wise and safe hence rolling is fun and cerebral while my cardio gets hit hard. Alliance is the perfect place because it is clean, professional, has a fantastic supportive Women environment, and most of all there are so many bad ass instructors! Each one comes w his/her own unique style and skill set; hence your JJ game will be so diverse and sharp. Lastly they have so many classes to indulge in throughout the entire day, even yoga to stretch out and keep the longevity intact! JJ gets every joint and muscle to active so the heart glows n grows w love- I have been here for over a year n I simply love it. If you want to find community that will push you to new limits physically n mentally welcome. If you just want to start moving your body n try it out, welcome. JJ is a lifestyle that will roll w you till the end. See you on the mat! Tap tap

I was suffering from diabetes, back pain and knee pain. Elle tailored a workout for me so I would not make things worse. I lost 60 pounds in a year. I went from 6 medications to 4. I stopped having back pain. My diabetes is manageable now. Elle is best at tailoring workouts for each individual. She previously had cancer and fought it for four months. She missed 3 boot camp workouts and everyone in her class marveled at her stamina while taking her therapy. Elle never let her boot camp folks know she was in pain. Elle is the perfect instructor and has a level for every boot camp participant. She will help with injury rehab and diet needs. She will challenge you without you feeling inadequate. Elle cares about every client and considers them friends. I have never had a Trainer take interest like Elle. She will make a difference in your life. My wife and I needed the workouts with Elle so much we took her to Hawaii with us so we would not miss our workouts. She keeps the workouts so different you never get tired of them. They are made fun. This is my sixth year working out with Elle. I have now run 3, 5K runs and still look forward to my next. I never would have thought I would still be working out this long three nights a week. I have even added mountain biking 2 days a week. Thanks for helping get my life back Elle.

So, for my birthday my wife purchased a 4 week session package from Elle and we were off. First meeting was a real eye opener in terms of where my current fitness and wellness level was. What is amazing is how the sessions are custom tailored to fit the individual client needs. In that first month I saw significant results in all areas from weight loss to flexibility to cardiovascular stamina. So, Im hooked at this point. I purchased another months worth of sessions, but ramped up the number of days per week. As the month goes on I feel SOOO much better, more grounded and had even lost a couple of lbs. But the scale didn't matter as much as how my clothes were fitting. Hello lost wardrobe of stuff that had become too tight. Accountability = Results Month 3 and I go to 5 days / week. This is getting great, did I mention that Elle is a certified Nutritionist? There is a great conversation ongoing about diet ideas, modifications, and commitments. Month 4, 5 days a week and my goodness how I feel great. The workout is different each day, incorporating core training, cardio, stretching, yoga, pilates, and strength training. Did I mention that you never step foot into a gym? Elle custom creates your plan and brings it to you. Month 5 and Im down 4 inches on my waist form the start. I feel amazing. Month 6 now and I feel the best is yet to come. The biggest asset you have in your life is your health. I cannot recommend Elle highly enough. I would only suggest you contact her sooner than later as she if very focused on each of her clients and will fill up quickly.
