She employees a range of fantastic instructors that all bring their own unique perspectives to strength training.

Upon entering, I was greeted at the front desk. She checked me in and gave me a quick tour of the facility. The place was cute (lots of pink) and clean. The instructor set me up on a bike and we were ready to go. Unfortunately I think my seat was a little too high, so it was uncomfortable for the duration of the ride. I was also a little put off because when I was first getting on my bike, there was an issue with tightening the foot straps and it took another person in the class to try to fix it for the instructor to get up and help me. I removed one star for that. The class itself was cool. It wasn't too hard, but slightly challenging.

Students tend to be new to/novices to group fitness contexts and do not necessarily show up on time or early to get help with their first experience. Look for special deals offered on Groupon, classpass, other sites before you buy classes or register directly with Posh. 2 bathrooms, locker cubbies (bring a small non-pad lock), single person changing areas with curtains. No filtered water and no drinking fountains. They sell tanks, tees, sweatshirts. They sell weekend special events and also charge vendors to market themselves to you at those events.

Hey friends! Overdue review here. I've been a member since April 2024…read more I absolutely love coming here. I have the unlimited membership. The instructors are amazing, they help you with your form and shout you out when you're doing well in class. I also love their verbal encouragements like "you got this" "remind yourself why you showed up today"." Classmates are friendly and encouraging. My favorite format is Define. Very challenging, but I leave class feeling so refreshed and strong. My all-around strength has improved so much and I gained a noticeable amount of muscle definition. I'm so glad I discovered Barre.

If you're running late, you may not be able to enter as the instructor was also manning the front desk. I did the Align (50 minute) class. The instructions were clear. There was ample room to execute the movements. The instructor periodically walked around to inspect proper form. I love the location. There's lots of parking (street and parking lot), and many stores and restaurants nearby to explore afterwards.

(But also, support local businesses and try and buy classes too if you're able!) I took two classes this week - one with Kathy and one with Brenda. Both instructors were so welcoming and kind. Both classes were challenging (but accessible!). I enjoyed both classes a lot - Kathy's sculpt yoga class had me hobbling the next day, and Brenda's class had me challenging myself to try poses I hadn't before. She also had a message at the beginning and end of class about making sure to focus on you're "want to be" list (strong, brave, kind, loving, etc) versus your "to do" list. I love this. In both classes, it seems as though there's great community - a lot of the women seemed to know each other and were excited to take classes together. I hope that if I were in the area, I could be a part of this uplifting environment. The studio itself is clean, has great AC, and has lots of windows to look at trees while you're trying not to fall over in your own tree pose. They also have blocks, straps and I think some mats available. I look forward to coming here if I'm ever in the area again.

I am now so much more energized & limber after her class. She has a lovely, light filled, clean studio on the second floor. There is plenty of free parking. She has a friendly, helpful assistant & had yoga mats to borrow, & very cute yoga clothing for sale. Overall, an excellent studio to practice yoga. As a chiropractor, I've found that light resistance weight training three times a week for just 20' & yoga for 2-3 days/week are the most important ways to keep healthy, fit, & have lasting energy. Cheers! DocMikeChiro Update: At Brenda's recommendation, I took today's morning yoga class with Dana. It was the most incredible & challenging, intermediate level yoga class I have ever taken. I asked if she had her class on video so that I can share it with my patients and friends who are yoga instructors. Brenda's Uplift Yoga studio is truly an excellent place to practice & improve strength, balance, & focus.

I prefer the group and spin classes but this gym also has basketball courts, a dry sauna, full swimming, kids corner, pool and jacuzzi. This year the gym underwent a partial renovation. The old dark carpet was swapped out for hard surface, non-slip flooring. There are also floor carpets in areas where that foam puzzle floor sat before. Old machines were replaced by new floor machines and different exercise products. The floor layout was changed as well. Now there is a turf-style section for stretching, resistance training, kettlebells and the like. And there is a section is separated for personal training. I'm glad they are investing money into the aesthetics and function of the gym. I've watched other gyms deteriorate into oblivion. We could still use a modern facelift and new spin bikes, but this is a awesome start.

I attended two classes here with a meetup group. We did exotic dance and a pole class. The exotic…read moreclass was very, very fun. Believe it or not it is a total workout. The instructor let us know that if you take the regular classes (membership) then you do way more working out, she was just easy on us since it was a party. As far as the pole class itself, it was very, very hard. I realized that I have NO upper body strength. I mean I really don't see how strippers (oops exotic dancers) do it. If you're looking for this type of workout I would definitely visit this establishment. The instructors were very nice and professional. Plus its Black Owned and I'll definitely support that. You can actually drop in for the exotic classes on Sat. and I believe you have to see if there is room for the pole class. I believe the classes are $20. The instructor also stated that they have another location in Ga. I haven't visited that one yet (from Ga.).

Every time I visit a strip club, I base the strippers' tips off this class. If it is something that…read moreI haven't mastered, they get like $5. If its something I am able to do well, they get $2 and if I can do it, they get encouraged to get down. Okay, so not only do they teach you a routine, they do aerobic exercises to teach you how to do them properly. These exotic and former exotic dancers create a non-competitive environment and encourage you to let your inner dancer come out. They tell jokes and intimate stories that help you feel better if you aren't able to do a move effortlessly. I enjoy going here and always feel comfortable. They also offer specialty classes, like "Booty Poppin and Shakin" "Video Vixen" "Lap Dance Specials" etc... Going here, I've gained a great perspective on the athleticism that you must have in order to be a stripper AND look good doing it. They also sell 5-7inch heels here so you can really get the full feeling. If you want to just see without being charged, the Saturday at 12 class is free for first timers.

Yelp is my Bible to new experiences so once you tell me Yelp is wrong- I mean simply change the details your business advertisement and whalaa=NO PROBLEMS or CONFUSION. I attended an intro class with the assumption that I would be able to take advantage of these offers.

The only available classes are very early or very late, which do not fit most people's schedules. I scheduled a 2.0 class, but it was canceled by their staff. The front office said I must be assessed and approved by an instructor, even though I have experience in many advanced Pilates classes at other studios. I asked when the instructor would be available to assess me, and they said they were unsure of the next available time. They take your money without assessing you but limit your ability to attend classes in many ways. I tried to talk to their manager and waited for 2 hours with no response. The front office said she was in a meeting. However, when you see their studio, there isn't even a meeting room--big lie. A kind reminder: before you enroll at the Laurel location, check if you can find any available classes that fit your usual workout time. If you cannot find available classes, it might be better to try another location. Club Pilates is a franchise business, and its membership cannot be used at other locations. Mostly, you can only use your membership at one location, so be cautious before you enroll. I leave this review on 6/19/24. I attached their schedule in the next days, you can see almost nothing you can schedule.

The space itself is beautiful and calming, every time I walk in, it feels like I'm stepping into a little sanctuary. The instructors are all so knowledgeable and encouraging, and you can really feel how much they care about creating a supportive, welcoming environment. My absolute favorite class is Power Flow with Sidney. She has such a grounded, uplifting energy, and her classes strike that perfect balance of challenge and flow. I always leave feeling stronger, clearer, and a little more connected to myself. Sidney has a way of cueing that makes everything click, and she pushes you in the best possible way. I'm so grateful to have found The Nest, it's become a highlight of my week, and I couldn't recommend it more.

The studio is clean, organized, not cramped, has complimentary tea, and has good vibes all around. They have gendered restrooms, but with signs that say you can use the restroom that feels best for you and in general feels like a pretty inclusive place, which I love. They have class passes and membership options. They run cool retreats, yoga teacher trainings, and other events for the community. They have some really high quality instructors at this place. I really enjoy Kimber, Sidney, and Nicole for power yoga. Their flows are so unique, thoughtful, and intentional. I've been doing yoga for over 15 years and have learned more here than I have at many other places around. They also have Pilates, Zumba, and other types of yoga. I was not super impressed by the two slow flow classes I attended. I do wish they offered more classes at a greater variety of times. They mostly offer classes before and after a 9-5 work day.
