Love this place…read more Pilates is a tricky sport as it actually becomes harder as you progress. Those new to fitness will feel the burn after your first class but for more athletic people, it takes a while to find proper alignment and really engage those muscles. You know you found it when your thighs start crying. Everyone who works there has been super nice and all have a good sense of humor. They are very helpful, good at observing detail and nobody's mean if you can't do the pose 100%. The clientele have a sense of camaraderie, rather than competition. Great studio.

The instructor, Dorothy, was physically aggressive with me and humiliated me in front of the other…read morestudents. I was so upset I didn't sleep all night. I never want to set foot in the place again and they refuse to refund my money. It is also very difficult to book classes unless you have an unlimited membership. When you complain about this they are very rude and say "it is like that everywhere". If you can't book classes without an unlimited membership then that is all they should offer.

I joined 3 months ago and feel stronger thanks to 2 excellent instructors. Now, why do I give it…read moreone star? I have a few physical problems and need modifications. One instructor, Dorothy, has put me down for modifications that other instructors have taught me in private lessons. So I use them. She put me down before the class, so I emailed the owner. NO ANSWER for two weeks. She said they gave sensitivity training. So today, I took one of Dorothy's classes for the first time since then (I had no choice away for the next few days, and there was only one there today), and the same thing happened. Today, she told me I was doing everything wrong in front of everyone. She also rolled her eyes at me a few times. I am in my 50s and have problems, maybe more than most, but I should not have to feel embarrassed. I realize it's a business, and money comes first, but they need to have this sensitivity training and not just say they are. So, if you have any ailments of any kind, be careful which class you go to or go to another pilates place that trains their staff on sensitivity.

I don't know what I would do without Rye Health and Fitness. Dennis has been training me for many…read moreyears and no matter how tired or down I feel, once I'm done with my workout, I'm a new person. No matter how tough things are right now, he is always up and so patient with me. Right now I'm training with him virtually and still getting the best workout anywhere. His trainers are all amazing and I am happy to be part of the Rye Health and Fitness family. Hands down a fabulous experience.

Rye Health and Fitness is hands down the best training studio in this area. There are multiple…read moretrainers who are matched to clients based on their needs. Having worked out at other studios in the area, I find RH&F to be the best overall as it has great equipment, clean open environment and isn't overpriced (as the places in Greenwich are). I began working out here back in the spring of 2010 right after my wife gave birth to our daughter (somehow I managed to put on more weight than my wife compliments of Ben and Jerry's. Since then I have gotten in the best shape of my life. There are other options out there but you ought to give this one a try as it won't disappoint.

Definitely try out yogafreak (or just join monthly unlimited;)…read more The classes here are amazing with bright energy and passionate, knowledgeable instructors. My favorite part is the different types of classes you can take, so it's not just original hot yoga but other types as well along with HIIT of course! This makes it fun to switch it up and also take a couple of classes in a row if you wanted, since they schedule different ones back to back. Another hugeeeee plus for me is that they have early morning classes and late at night if you slept through the morning ones like I often do LOL (along with late morning/ mid day, early evening etc). Additionally, the staff is nice & welcoming and I oftentimes see instructors paying extra attention/TLC to newcomers If you're a hot room lover then deff come to Yoga Freak ASAP!!!!

This studio prioritizes rigid policy over customer care, and I want to be specific so others can…read moremake an informed decision before booking. Their late policy is absolute: arrive even one minute past your class time and you will be locked out and charged -- no exceptions, including unforeseen circumstances. They do not answer their phone and do not accept voicemail, so there is no way to reach anyone in real time if something goes wrong. If you have time blindness, executive function challenges, ADHD, Cptsd, or a highly sensitive nervous system, this studio is not designed with you in mind. It is not trauma-informed, and the environment does not accommodate neurodivergence in any meaningful way. For those who need consistency and predictability, it's also worth knowing they have modified the traditional hot yoga sequence -- so what you practice here may not be what you expect. The waitlist system is also poorly communicated; you may not know you've been moved from a class you reserved until it's too late to plan around it. Beyond logistics, the atmosphere feels cold and unwelcoming -- though I'll leave it to others to determine how much of that is the studio versus the region. This studio is BUSINESS FOCUSED rather than CUSTOMER focused, which contributes to the stressed, unfriendly state of the world today. There are wonderful yoga communities out there that lead with warmth and genuine flexibility. This one, in my experience, is not among them.

The workout itself is fantastic. Pricey, but on par with other boutique studios like Club Pilates…read moreor Soul Cycle, albeit a better work out altogether. That said, I wish there were more Westchester locations and more class times on weekends. These boutique studios cater to "ladies who lunch"...the ones who don't work and spend their day in their athleisure attire while their kids are at school. Be as it may, for those of us who can afford the class but also have to work, having more classes and more locations would be nice.

I came here once. The class was great but fairly difficult and I went to a low level class. I…read morehave taken Pilates with a reformer machine before as well.

Then I heard about the trainers at Emerge that could come work on yoga and pilates with me in my own apartment. I thought, "why not give it a go?" It was so convenient to have the trainer come to me, and they were so flexible about timing with my work schedule. They're experienced to work with clients from beginner to advanced levels, so don't worry about your skill level. After the first session, I was amazed at how much of a good workout it was. I've done 4 sessions now, and I can actually see the results - I'm clearly getting more flexible and achieving a stronger core. This has even carried over into my work, and I can feel myself being more relaxed and focused. For yoga and pilates lovers, I'd definitely recommend trying out a personal trainer session at Emerge!
