Thavma easily beat my expectations. The studio (Sarasota) was beautiful and zen. The teachers were great. The classes were challenging. I tried the two week trial and give myself a 90% chance of joining after I try out a little competition as I am new to the area. (Update: I joined and bought the 1-year all-you-can-sweat pass - love it) The best thing about the teachers was their attention to detail: they make sure to watch your alignment and constant remind us of the right adjustments to make the poses correctly and safe. But they were also friendly and fun and the classes had lots of people that had clearly been members for a while. Their 26+2 class is a slight variation of Bikram, so if you know that or Google it, you will know what to expect. I enjoyed those classes very much. Just know there are slight and intentional variations and you should follow them and not show how you can do the "real" poses. The Red Thavma is basically Yoga + Pilates + Abs + Sauna. This is a great way to tone up and burn calories if that is your thing. The Black Thavma is a harder version of Red, but I did not get a chance to try that. I highly recommend their $39 two week all-you-can-yoga pass. Try to commit to 6-8 classes as the first one will seem hot enough to make you give up, but you get use to it and learn to pace yourself. I think it is easy to get addicted, and I did love it. Hints: get well hydrated 3-4 hours before class, sip water in class, definitely take a sweat towel for your mat and keep an bring a sports drink or two for afterwards. Take a towel for your car seat too. They supply a strap and block and when I forgot my mat they lent me a free one -but they normally charge $2, They also have electrolyte packets to add to your water and they have cold water. They stopped renting towels during COVID and have decided not to restart that. Do it!

My first year living in Sarasota, I tried out three different Pilates studios. Each Studio taught a different Pilates Method. I was feeling frustrated and disappointed with the quality of instruction, class set up and the varying degrees of experience of the clients that were in the same class i.e., beginners, intermediate and advanced in the same class. Then I found the Dynamic Fitness Pilates Studio. This is my FAVORITE PILATES STUDIO in Sarasota. The instructors are trained in Classical Pilates, well versed in their choreography. The staff is very friendly and focused. The other clients make you feel at ease from the moment you join the group. The instructors are especially skilled at modifying exercises to accommodate injuries or limitations. I've had private and small group classes with Kathy, and Vicki, both instructors are amazing!
