Cannot overstate how much I enjoy the class atmosphere! Each workout I've done so far has been challenging but do-able and the trainers always ask about injuries and offer modifications. The small group format means lots of attention, if you're doing an exercise incorrectly or struggling with a weight the trainer corrects you right away or offers a different version. As someone who is easily intimidated by free weights, these classes are a great way to get more comfortable with them. My one critique would be that package pricing is high compared with other workout studios in the area (city fitness thrive, orange theory, amrita etc) . It would be nice if they offered a monthly package that was priced around $80 without annoying subscription cancelation rules. Still if you view the class as more of a group personal training session it has great value.

The trainers there are really nice and give you a lot of great technique and information about how to get a great workout. The rates are reasonable and the other clients in the group classes all seem to enjoy the classes as well. I like the fact that you can sign up for the classes that you want to attend online. This way you know who is teaching the class and what the theme of the class is. There is plenty of parking in the area and they also offer flexible hours for the group classes that fit my schedule. So far so good.

The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Especially Coach Raymond. The members are kind and welcoming. I recently dropped in, and with covid, they are doing a great job keeping things distanced, sanitary, and enforcing mask use (including during the workouts). Everyone seems to care and the sense of community is present. PS they have some of the most fun (but effective) warmups. I would highly recommend attending this gym, whether you're looking to join a new gym or drop in! All movements and workouts are scalable so give it a try!

But it was the easy part: I showed up, got pushed through a great work out, and connected with peers and neighbors who had the same goals. The hard part, changing my lifestyle so I could actually achieve those goals, didn't start until the 21 Day Reset Challenge. Our household has two full time workers and two young children and our diet for years has been 75% convenience so imagine a lot of take out, pizza night, cheese steaks. The 21 Day Reset Challenge forced us to stop and look at what we were doing to ourselves and our goals by abusing our bodies with an unhealthy diet. For each step forward my wife and I made in the workouts, we were probably taking two steps backwards with our diet. The Challenge provided not only the information we needed in recipes, ideas, and the impact of what you eat, but a format that was engaging and a support group from other athletes to the coaches who were also completing the challenge. This was a major lifestyle change for me and I wouldn't have done it without this challenge. It forced me to rethink everything I put into my body and think of it not just as food satisfying a craving but fuel to a machine. If I wanted a clunky, rundown machine, I could keep skipping meals and snacking on sugar and empty carbs, and gorging on fatty meals without concern for portions. If I wanted to reach my goals and turn my body into an efficient and fit machine, I had to have a plan, stick to it, find supporting partners, and educate myself on when and what type of fuel to consume. The Challenge provided all of that and the changes my family has made since then have stuck and changed not just our daily diet but our approach to our family's fitness and well being. So glad to be a member of this community and all it brings, from classes to clinics and fitness to friendships. *JAZZ HANDS!*

The Den Yoga & Wellness Studio is a wonderful addition to the Northeast Philadelphia area…read more The studio provides a clean, calm and comforting environment. Lauren and Lynsey are kind and professional instructors. I've visited twice for two different non-heated Pilates classes, a morning and an evening class. Both were equally enjoyable! Although I had never taken Pilates prior to my classes here, I will say the burn you get in your muscles in the following days is intense! It makes you feel accomplished and refreshed. You'll definitely need a foam roller or a muscle gun if you tend to get sore after workouts. Purchasing the drop-in classes through the MINDBODY app is convenient, and each class is very affordable. Their package deals are also a bargain. I highly recommend this studio to my friends and family, and will definitely be back for more classes.

My last two places were, in a word, awful. They assigned one therapist to 2-3 people at once, so you'd spend an hour for 20 minutes of actual treatment - if you're lucky. They point you to a machine and move on to the next person. Justin was with me the entire hour. He tailored the workout to me. He knows when to push (think football coach) and when to ease off because your body won't take it. He knows physiology and has an exercise for everything. And he's got a terrific sense of humor. (Be sure to tell him about your cats - he loves them.) Justin is also totally honest. Unlike some PT places in the city, he won't try to rope you into more sessions than you need. When you're done, you're done. My knee healed really fast, just a few months after the break, I'm way ahead of where most people are at this point. (Of course I went to all the sessions and did exercises at home too. Justin gave me very good diagrams and they've got online capabilities too. The location is fantastic. It's convenient and well-appointed. Where else do you go to PT and see a waiting room with tables, coffee, fruit and the New York Times? It's the classiest PT place in town. Their rates are reasonable. I couldn't believe what I was getting when my insurance paid the same (or more) for PT that was a waste of time. I'm writing this during the lockdown.

At the end of class, the instructor, Reshma, distributed cold towels to every participant except me. I was the only person who did not receive one, and I was also the only Black person in the room. Being the only one excluded in that moment did not go unnoticed. To be clear, this is not about the towel itself--it's about how the interaction made me feel. It left me feeling invisible, overlooked, demoralized, and small. It was a deeply uncomfortable moment, and one that ultimately felt humiliating. I held myself together in the moment, but by the time I got to my car, I broke down in tears. Regardless of intent, actions like this matter. Studios that promote inclusivity should ensure those values are consistently reflected in practice--not just in messaging. It's also worth acknowledging the broader context: this studio operates in a gentrified neighborhood that has displaced many Black families. In spaces shaped by that history, being mindful of how people are treated--especially those who are in the minority in the room--is even more important. I hope this is taken as an opportunity for reflection and accountability, so that every client is treated with the same level of care and consideration.
