I took the Saturday noon circuit session with Tania. It was my first time and she came over at…read moreevery exercise and reminded me what it was and helped me make sure I was doing it correctly. The circuit class had six stations so after every change, I forgot what the exercise was but she was there to quickly run through it with me. She was also very encouraging. At the end of the class she mentioned of a competition day that was open to everyone. The space has nothing but a water fountain, lockers, bathroom, sanitizer and cleaning wipes for the machine, no towels, shower or amenities. I enjoy Metcon (5min exercise - 1min rest) and the variety of it all. The class went quickly and id definitely do the class again. It was my first time working out in a while and i could keep up. Would give it 5 stars but lack of amenities is a big bummer.

Rachel is an absolute joy to train with. She's classically trained in machine pilates, extremely…read morepatient, and great at explaining how the body works. Classes usually start with a quick Q&A where I ask for guidance on any of the exercises I've been working on at home, and last an hour. The workout is as tough as you make it, and I always leave feeling good. The studio is small, but never feels cramped, and has a little library where students can check out books and DVDs for home exercises. After about 9 months of weekly sessions, all of my most severe lower back pain is gone, and I have dramatically improved sitting, standing, and sleeping posture. Looking forward to seeing the results after a couple of years.

Rachel is the best Pilates teacher I have ever had - she is a genius (and I don't use this word…read morelightly!) when it comes to how the body works. What she does for her clients is more than Pilates - it's physio, it's Pilates, it's an anatomy lesson - and she tailors every single class to her clients' individual needs. Her prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of attention and care she gives in her one-on-one session. My life has changed for the better since I met Rachel and I plan to continue taking classes with her for as long as I live in NYC! Thank you Rachel!!!

We ended up doing a combination of in-person and virtual visits based on what was best for my schedule. I also appreciated the precautions she takes around COVID. She's also just extremely knowledgeable about the human body, which made me feel very confident in the exercises she led me in and guidance she gave. If an exercise ever felt weird, she always seems to know exactly what muscle I need to stretch/open up. Luisa was able to meet me where I was at, taking it a little slow at first, but then she really kicked our sessions up a notch when she realized I had some of the basics down. I loved that she sent me videos of the exercises for me to save and practice on my own. Overall, a great experience and I would work with her again anytime I needed a personal trainer.

The knowledge you gain from Luisa is for life.

Disliked: terrible ventilation/climate control (asked if they could install fan, but they said nah), music too loud (had to wear earplugs), and the final straw: they rented out the yoga studio, so there is no quiet, out of the way place to stretch. Ended my membership and joined Grindhouse, which is cheaper, has good AC and high ceilings, plenty of machines, music not too loud, and has an OK place to stretch-- alas with no views.

I took a Fyra 60 class with Daniel, and I swear I sweated out at least 10 pounds of water weight! Now I understand why so many people make this a lifestyle. Keep in mind that Fyra offers several other classes and wellness options besides yoga, so there's something for everyone. Ask about any promotions they have and I promise you will be thinking how can you fit this into your weekly schedule.

The class was very big so it was a variety of people. I am beginner friendly, i was laughing in my head so hard as to why I felt this class would b easy.

The ethos that's very present here starts with the physical space itself, is front and center in his choice of training colleagues, and then by extension: the clientele it seems to attract. All of this fills the space with an open, warm, intense vibe. It's these qualities that help Willspace avoid the general trappings of places like this; namely, the ego and narcissism and general insecure competitiveness that seems to accompany other workout environments...it just doesn't exist here. I thought I couldn't afford to continue after my first group of appointments were fulfilled - it's not inexpensive - but when I divided the cost by the results, after just 6 weeks, I ran back over with my credit card and signed up for more. It's great to see someone build something larger than themselves and to do it with a firm grasp of the idea of doing one thing extremely well, on a daily basis, and to find out later that it's been going on for years. That it exists at all is a superb asset for the community, I'm lucky to be a part of it.

Other than the craziness that comes with moving to a different country and city, if I'm being honest, I waited this long because I was confused and intimidated. At this point in my life, I've dabbled in many popular classes like HIIT, Crossfit and Soulcycle; but nothing really clicked. In fact, there were times they left me in pain, not a good pain mind you, the sort that takes two weeks to heal. Some people might push through it thinking that it's normal, but instinctively I knew this can't be right. They only thing I really had a genuine love for and looked forward to was Yoga, and I realized what truly made a difference: my teachers. I chanced upon two gurus over the years who took the time to truly educate me about my anatomy and correct posture. I loved being aware of each muscle and joint as I'm practicing. Doing things the right way not only avoids injury, but it also unlocks your body to its greatest potential. These are cherished knowledge that changed my life and will carry me through a lifetime. But there was something missing, Yoga had its limitations with regards to muscle building and was missing a certain dynamism that suited my personality. I was attracted to the idea of weight lifting knowing its benefits from well established research. It elevates endorphins and helps you build muscles, which means you'll have more energy and get a metabolism boost even when you're stationary. There's a common misconception that it makes you look bulky, a concern for most girls. Don't worry because it's really not true! What I wanted was "great", not "good" teachers to help me get there. The kind of people who I can geek out with over anatomy, have the awareness and vigilance in the never ending road to perfection. I considered getting a personal trainer in Equinox but I'm so glad I had the lucidity to chose Willspace instead. I've never once felt like cattle or detached, as you do in a corporate multinational fitness centre. Willspace is a personal training only gym with exactly everything you need. There's no salespeople pushing you to do this and that. There's no lazy bum laying on a utility bench scrolling through Tinder for 30mins and working out for 10 (lol! what a buzzkill). There's no stinky equipment because the lovely and hardworking Tito is always keeping things spick and span. Even the bathrooms smell great! Things are always tidy because they're always put back where it was before. What you WILL find here are people who genuinely care about your progress, familiar faces and a sense of solidarity. Willspace was founded by Will, who coached me on my first day. His passion for training was evident and so was his eagerness to share his wealth of knowledge. He's meticulous in every way, including his pick of coaches. He introduced me to Lauren, and we've been thick as thieves ever since! What I've gained from Willspace is tailored training that speaks to my pace and personal goals. They ensure that I get a balance of strength, endurance and flexibility. They certainly push me to be better but I've never felt unsafe or been injured. You'll get access to the variety of specialized knowledge from its coaches. There's Will of course, Olympic Lifter Chaz, MMA Robbie, Gymnast Jorge, Muay Thai Cesar and Yoga Lauren. Each coach I've noticed, are all determined and always learning something new from each other. They have a genuine sense of camaraderie and I would get helpful tips from a coach I'm not even training with. In the past 8 months my health and wellbeing has improved by leaps and bounds, and Willspace is a big part of that. They have a machine called the InBody which I love getting on each month to get a complete analysis of what's happening in your body. Recently, I've plucked up the courage to take up Kickboxing with Cesar. It's so much fun! I love my Willspace family and I'm convinced you will be too! If you made it this far in my super long review, you probably have the desire and determination to change your life so...best of luck to you! Note: That 1 star review by JD. M gave me the lols. "I'm not looking to train here but can you give me the info of other businesses?" Look things up in yelp in your borough and don't waste hardworking people's time for something you're too lazy to do maybe...? People are so silly. SMH xD
