The owner, Matt, was quick to respond when I gave the gym a call and provided amazing customer service! He even swung by the gym and introduced himself. Gym is fully equipped with several cardio machines (stairmaster, bikes, treadmills), free weights, benches, turf area, cable machines, resistance machines, two squat racks and much more. In addition, for an extra cost, you can have access to their Recovery Room which has infrared saunas, compression boots for lowerbody (I believe hips too), and massage guns. There are also small lockers that are available for use during your workout. The gym is very clean and all of the equipment is well-maintained. This is my first time at a privately owned gym and I can see why people lean towards em. If you're local, I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out and getting a membership. I will definitely be coming back here anytime I'm up here visiting! Thanks again, Matt!! Other notes if you've made it this far in the review: gym is easy to find, parking wasn't an issue on a Friday morning, music plays in the gym at an appropriate level in case you forget your headphones lol, they have a built-in water dispenser, sanitizer wipes are conveniently placed everywhere throughout the gym and are well-stocked, a lot of natural light coming through the windows, has a lot of other workout equipment that most gyms don't have. For the rest, you'll just have to come and check it out yourself! Again, HIGHLY recommend this gym!

Been curious about this studio Pilates for a while…read more Unfortunately they only have monthly passes. The owner explained it and is reasonable. I bought the intro pass for one month. I've been doing Pilates reformer for a while. Oh boy! It's a good hard and everyday I do it challenges me. The burn and jelly legs are so real. I love this place, they have a very aesthetic place feels like a coffee place, it's just inviting to be there. They have a room for pilates reformer and barre room. Which is a hidden gem in Reno. The owner and the instructors are all super friendly to the point they know my name already, I'm always thankful that they check on my posture that makes it all better. They connect to the community once a month, and donate while you do a free mat pilates. The month I have stayed there I tried different classes. All teachers have their own way of teaching. I must say they are all hard. If want to burn more and challenge do the barre, it will get you sore for days. A hidden gem in Reno that offers both Reformer Pilates and a barre. The intro monthly pass is a 100 the rest is in their website for prices.

The instructors are great, they know a lot about what they are teaching and they have a passion for it. The instructors also participate in the work out, which I admire. Once you've taken one spin or boxing class from Escape, your regular gym spin classes will be boring enough to put you to sleep. Escape uses blacklights because they believe fitness is about how you feel, not how you look. With loud music, high energy, great instructors, you'll finish your workout feeling stronger and more pumped up than ever. Memberships are a little out of my price range but drop in classes every few weeks are totally reasonable. I'll always be a fan of Escape and its unique workout experience.

It seemed a bit confusing, but everyone else that were regulars looked confident in their choices so I'm sure once you start attending more, you will know where you want to start. The class I went to was a combination of rowing, tread, core and weight lifting. I liked the idea of 'switching stations' after a certain amount of time. Since I was new, the instructor reviewed everything with me at the beginning of class. There is some simple math to do when you get up to the tread, but I was able to figure it out rather quickly. Classes are an hour long and then there is a stretching portion afterwards. I got a great workout in. It's not really my type of workout, but I'm glad I tried it!

Located off of Kietzke, you'll find a cute white building with a giant mural that says "Reno" on the back side. After parking in the parking lot located behind the building, you'll enter the back entrance into the lush courtyard where you'll see a black metal staircase to the right. The staircase will lead you to the Bliss Holistic Center. I have done yoga many times before, but this was the first time I was able to experience Buti. It felt like a mix of dancing, Pilates, yoga, and anger management. Perfect for all able bodies, and in my opinion, a great way to break out of one's shell to build confidence with their body. After the powerful yoga session, we were able to enjoy a peaceful sound bath given by Tatiana. The sound bath allowed us to go on a deep journey within, something we all need to do more often with this crazy world around us. With the sound baths you can also add mindful hands-on enhancements that will "help you sink deeper into your body allowing the mind to heart connection." Check out their website for their available classes, like Belly Dance Fusion, Sound Bath healing, Buti Yoga, Guided mediations, spa offerings, and more!

Stopped by Sunday Pilates for a much needed Pilates sesh, and unfortunately, this studio fell a bit…read moreshort of my expectations, and what I consider the the core philosophy of Pilates - to rehabilitate and strengthen the muscles. I'll preface this by saying I consider myself an intermediate level when it comes to my Pilates/lagree practice, with close to 100 classes under my belt and one year of experience in different studios in LA. I was excited seeing all the wonderful reviews, beautiful photos of the studio, and the Allegro 2 reformer (which I use every week), but instead of classical Pilates, this felt more like a Tracy Anderson-type exercise class where you're just kind of blindly following along what the teacher demonstrates. The class I took was very fast paced and an excellent cardio workout, but I could barely tell what the teacher was demonstrating (since we were all lying down on the reformer), and I could tell that quite a few of the other students in the class seemed to be struggling too, since everyone was doing a different version of the exercise being called. Most of the class was leg focused, with 30+ minutes of just jumping off the board and doing different leg exercises in the air before landing. While I understand that a light spring load was necessary for such a long leg-focused workout, I also found it dangerous since there's much less resistance, and a lot of us were slamming the reformer on accident or landing incorrectly/harshly, which can cause serious injury. Abs and arms were fine for me, but I definitely saw some other students who were struggling or completely could not do the exercises at all. The teacher didn't walk around or correct at all the entire class, and I felt like a lot of us could've benefited from extra attention given the high injury potential of the exercises we were doing. Front desk was nice but....really not attentive, and completely forgot to do intake + liability waivers for new clients. I had to remind her that I was still waiting to fill out the forms after class, and instead of finding online/physical paper forms (which most studios in my experience always carry), she asked us to go through our email/the website to find the forms ourselves and fill them out on our own time. Definitely a bit disappointed considering how much I wanted to love this studio and regularly incorporate my Pilates practice on my monthly visits to Reno, but unfortunately, this won't be the studio for me.
