I started at Serenity shortly after retiring from a job where I did a lot of sitting. I had a sore…read moreknee and hip and was hoping to slow down the aging process so I could enjoy retirement. Serenity has done more than I ever expected. I'm in better shape than I was eight years ago with no knee pain or hip pain. I love the classes but I'm also able to enjoy gardening, fly fishing and working with my dogs. Life is good!

I love going to Serenity. I have been a regular client for 4 years. Marcie's expertise in injury…read moreand exercise has been the best solution for me. Before Serenity I had a reoccurring pattern of exercising and getting hurt then being off exercise to recover only to start the cycle again. Marcie understands the human body but more importantly she understands MY human body. She can individualize my workouts based on how I feel each session and she has accurately described my needs to all the staff. I am reassured everyone in the studio is aware of my body's needs. I also do classes at the studio. Mat pilates with Mary has proved to be very effective for core strength. Gentle yoga with John is a very calm wind down from a busy day and a great "date night" activity for couples. I recommend this studio to all of my friends that want to avoid unnecessary injuries, develop strength. In addition to workouts that strengthen and protect each client there is a sense of community and belonging every time I enter the studio.

I usually try to take pictures of places that I review but this was one time I didn't. It's a shame…read morereally, because I really liked the studio. The yoga class was great and the star of the show was the instructor Hanna. I was in the beginner class and the pace of the class was good enough that I could keep up. The lighting and music was perfect for some yoga although the music kept getting interrupted ever so often. Both Hanna and the person assisting her went around the class correcting everyone's postures. She was funny and very encouraging which is always a plus. The cherry on top was the quick neck massage at the very end, which I did not expect! Gotta love those surprises.

What a great find! I came to CR for a short trip and found this hidden gem through a quick search…read more I showed up 10 minutes before class without a reservation and Tracy made me feel welcome from the second I stepped in! She was a great instructor as well and I really enjoyed the class. The drop in fee is $15 which I thought was definitely reasonable. Highly recommend trying Fusion even if you're just stopping by or driving through town!

This is a wonderful yoga studio. I have been taking classes for three years. The studio is in a…read moreformer warehouse - high ceilings, wood floors, large windows - wonderful space. The instructors are great. I've had Brenda but all the occasional substitutes are wonderful too so I don't think you can go wrong in choosing an instructor. They have all the equipment that you may need - mats, etc. Just come wearing comfortable clothes. Oh, and guys please feel welcome. My particular class has 25 - 45% male students on any given day. http://www.fusionstudiocr.com

I've been a member at Hotworx for three years and I still adore it. Whether it's an iso workout or…read morehiit-- you better believe you'll leave sweaty snd accomplished. Reasons it's bomb: - Location (super convenient off The Strip) - Parking (a non issue, there's plenty) - Pricing (super reasonable, I pay $40 a month) - 24/7 (open always, you have access even when not staffed) - Kind staff (shout out to owner Tara and the GM John) - Sweat (you literally leave drenched and feel so refreshed) - Workouts (offers iso, barre, Pilates, yoga, core, rowing, cycling and more!) - Scheduling app (super easy to use! Book a class two minutes before or three days prior.) Overall, I feel like a stronger version of myself daily. Hotworx and your many virtual instructors, thank you!

Barre 3 is exactly what I needed to get back into a routine of taking care of myself again! There…read morewas a range of modifications available without judgment. I've worked with several of the instructors now (being a month in) and each one has put their own spin on the routine and able to assist and make suggestions respectfully in real time to help improve my strength and flexibility, I am already noticing results. And although this wasn't my main goal, my last doctors visit said I'm down 5 lbs, so BONUS! I just feel so much better in my own skin and remember how strong and capable I am! Thank you to Maureen and her whole team!

I am all for trying new workouts and when I saw barre3 not far from my house I knew I had to try…read moreit! I partook in one of the free classes they often offer and man I was hooked. I can say that this IC location is top notch. Maureen and her staff are freaking delightful and the workout itself is addictively not like anything else around town. PLUS, parking is a non-issue. But I don't actually have set in stone time to make it to a gym. (The minute I plan on a 5AM workout is the night my son is in my bed because of a bad dream. So when I attempt to stealthily get out, I of course wake him. And I can't just leave the four year old awake at home?! And how rude would I be to wake up anyone else catching z's?!) Ugh. It's a never ending, maddening problem. ANYWAYS, barre3 has an amazing online membership for a great price! The first two weeks are free. But what I like most is that the classes range from 10 to 60 minutes. They include what equipment you need in the description. I found favorite instructors and have taken all of their classes (multiple time)! Barre3 makes me feel good about myself. And the staff at this location does, too. If you haven't found a workout that is for you yet, try stopping in here!

I can not recommend Hothouse enough. Yoga has changed my life this past year but a large part of…read morethat has been the amazing community at Hothouse. I started a year ago with hardly any experience in yoga and began taking $10 community classes. As my passion and skills grew, I began a monthly unlimited membership! It is so affordable and worth it if you go even twice a week! I've since moved up to Vinyasa classes and more recently their yoga sculpt classes! I love having options for intensity! Yoga sculpt is an absolute butt-kicker but you will walk out feeling on top of the world! All three studios are gorgeous facilitates! The North Liberty studio even has a cold plunge! The instructors are always so kind, friendly and knowledgeable! Truly Hothouse has became a second home for me and turned me into a lifelong member & yogi!!

I took a tour of the facility, which is spacious and clean, and then took advantage of the free one week trial membership. I tried several classes and enjoyed them all so I joined at the Team Training level, which is basically small group personal training.

I've lived in Iowa City for almost 30 years and this gym is a surprisingly wonderful find after all that time.
