With a combo of elements such as cardio, yoga, conditioning, and weights, I always leave feeling sore but in a good way. I started this year in January 2023 and try to go at least once a week. With my busy schedule, there are plenty of times to choose from. And while every class is essentially "different" depending on the instructor, I feel and look great once I enter the class and leave. Try their free class when you sign up and then you'll see why you should keep up with it!!

Barre3. My first review for them was in 2015, when they opened. I came for a Yelp event and I'm…read moreproud to say I've been a regular since then. Now, I'm not someone who sticks with a particular workout regimen, gyms are not my style. However, Barre3 is different. It is a combination of yoga, Pilates and barre founded by Sadie Lincoln. (Also a great listen on "How I Built This" on the origins of the company.) I've been coming here for 7 years. I've done community classes, I've bought class packages, I've done live steam and been in the studio. What I'm most thankful for is that this is a welcome, opening community. You are welcomed every time you come to the studio. Anyone is welcome to join. I've had friends join me who felt the body positivity during the class and felt welcomed. They frequently do community classes in locations like Paristown or at Work the Metal. I've enjoyed these classes too as an opportunity to share Barre3 with friends. In the spring/fall, they typically do class pack sales where I purchases classes so I can come and go as I can. I haven't done the monthly membership only because it is hard for me to go on workdays. The instructors (Abby, Mel, Kelly, Emily, Becca) have all been amazing. They have different styles and I workout something new every time. This community makes me happy and makes me feel like I belong. It has taken me so long to find a fitness community that does that for me. I'm so glad Barre3 has been here for 7 years, and cheers and gratitude to more.

I was referred by my internist to Holly's Pilates Village about 18 months ago in response to my…read moreworsening osteoporosis. My internist recommended the Bone Strong Pilates program, because she knew patients whose bone density had increased significantly because of participation in the Bone Strong program. It's too early to know if my bone density has improved. My next Dexa scan will be in June 2022. But I can attest to the other benefits of Holly's Pilates! I had never practiced Pilates before. But I am now a Pilates convert. I practice three times a week with three different instructors: 2 private sessions and 1 class. With each instructor I learn something different that enhances my Pilates practice. I am definitely stronger, fitter, and more flexible. Also I am sleeping better and overall have more energy and joy. Whatever my Dexa scan results show next summer, I will continue my Pilates regimen because it has greatly enhanced my life. Any improvement in my bone density, which I do expect, will be icing on the cake. I recommend Holly's Pilates Village enthusiastically and without reservation, whether or not you have osteoporosis.

They offer the option to come in and try a free class, and that was what I did. Their staff were very friendly, answered all of my questions, and were available via text. After trying the first class, I signed up right then - I had such a great time! Hortworx is a facility that offers infrared sauna workouts - yoga, pilates, cycling, rowing.... a LOT of options, so it doesn't feel redundant. The saunas can fit up to 3 people, but after coming in regularly I've noticed that most people prefer to book during an empty time, so you will almost always have it to yourself (and I LOVE that!) To be honest, if it ever got to a point where I had to share a sauna with 2 other people it probably wouldn't be enjoyable, but it doesn't seem like they are ever that crowded. The saunas have TVs that show recorded workouts for you do follow on your own. It varies by workout, but each session is offered every 30-45 minutes and is open to members 24 hours a day. There are staffed hours, but when the staff is not there, you are given a door code to let yourself in. Another thing I love... the independence. I feel like I can come in at my own time and don't ever feel like anyone is hovering over me. There is also a small gym section where you can use weights and other equipment. The sauna workouts are very enjoyable. This was my first time trying 'hot' workouts, so I was a bit nervous at first but I adapted quickly. Not only do I feel like I'm getting a good workout, but the saunas have helped detox my body and make me feel amazing after each session. Pricing was another huge factor that lured me in. For $60 a month, I feel like having an unlimited variety of workouts is TOTALLY worth it. You do have to purchase their bamboo mat, but again, I still felt like it was worth it and it is a very nice quality. There is also a premium membership, $70 a month, where you can visit any location and have a 'virtual personal trainer' on their app. I'm really happy with Hortworx and can't wait to keep working out here.

I joined Suspend in August 2018, so I have been attending classes regularly for a little less then…read morea year at this point. There are many reasons I love coming to Suspend, but for my review I will focus on the top 3 reasons you should check it out. THE FACILITY The location in NULU is super convenient if you work downtown like I do. I love to drop in after work for a class or two before I head home. Suspend has several rigging points that are checked regularly for safety. They offer lyra, trapeze, silks, rope, pole, acro, juggling, hula hoop and a variety of other classes. There are occasionally even workshops to learn unique skills such as unicycling. The facility is clean and inviting. I especially love all the beautiful artwork featuring aerialists decorating the gym. KNOWLEDGABLE STAFF The instructors never seize to impress me with not only their knowledge of the aerial arts but with their ability to explain things in an easily digestible way. No matter your level (I am a beginner) they can get you on the apparatus safely challenging yourself to do new things. Every instructor is focused on proper form and doing things correctly to avoid injury. There are even classes like Flexibility & Mobility and Aerial Conditioning that I find quite helpful. COMMUNITY This is one of the most welcoming places I have ever been. They say that aerials are for anyone. Everyone is welcome no matter your shape, size you will be met where you are and challenged to push yourself. Everyone (students & instructors) cheer each other on. This gym is definitely a body positive space for anyone to work on their art. If you are curious about circus and aerials, I encourage you to check out Suspend. It is not easy, but the sense of accomplishment is incomparable.

The instructors are really great, you start with the basics, I felt very safe and you build from there. They are highly encouraging, along with the other students. They also have conditioning classes, yoga, flexibility, juggling - so many things to keep you moving and having fun. I would highly recommend to anyone, regardless of age and fitness level.

My biggest fear was that I wouldn't 'fit in' and I would be surrounded by yoga enthusiasts who had practiced for years and I wouldn't be able to 'measure up.' What I found at PM Yoga was just the opposite! All of the instructors that I have met have been welcoming, supportive, and very knowledgeable! The clientele have been friendly and very non-judgemental and welcoming. There are yogis with various levels of ability in the classes and I have never felt judged or inferior as a newbie! The studio is always clean and well-organized and it offers a variety of classes (there is something for everyone) 6 days a week at convenient times. Yoga props are provided free of charge and mats are available for rent. The building is conveniently located on Shelbyville Rd, but can be entered from the back (Main Street-Middletown) as well. While I have never attended another studio for comparison, I have heard friends mention that in their studios the instructors walk around and observe participants while offering guidance and correction on poses. I think this would be very helpful and would be an improvement at PM Yoga. In addition, I have heard about 'gratitude pricing' and 'senior discounts' at other studios which would also be a potential improvement. I am so happy that I found PM Yoga and am happy it is in my neighborhood! I will continue to go as long as my wallet will allow!

Which is why I love Orangetheory! Orangetheory is a boutique fitness gym for small group, heart-monitored workouts-- strength only and/or high intensity interval training that target both types of workouts in 60 minutes or less. It has an upbeat vibe and welcoming atmosphere. The coaches are terrific! They provide encouragement and instruction while timing each step in the workout. Best of all, for the nerds among us (myself included), you get a report at the end of your workout that shows how long you were in each heart zone. You can track your own progress!

So it's still nice. The locker room is also pretty sound. Nice and new. Also has good showers with decent pressure. The one drawback is that it is a little small. It's not really ever been an issue for me, as there aren't too many people that frequent the gym after work when I like to go. So I seldom have to wait for anything.
