Carpe Diem has a sister location in NE Minneapolis, yet I find the Como spot more intimate and cozy. There are cold plunges, saunas and of course yoga sessions. Try downloading the app to see normal yoga schedules or seek out specialty classes such as the winter solstice one I took. You don't have to be a member to take advantage of any of these services but if you find yourself coming back, you may consider. There is a full service drink bar serving espresso and other delicious drinks. Furthermore, the retail section has got a lot smaller but there are still beautiful items to find such as candles, clothing, etc. The owners are super pleasant along with all staff members making every visit such a joy. You can tell Carpe Diem really honors their customers. Enjoy!

I was referred here from someone else. I normally don't see men, but decided to take a chance sine the time slot was perfect. So glad I did. Hedley was amazing.

I highly recommend Hedley.

If I could give no star to this place I would. This place really sucks! DO NOT buy any Groupon or…read moredeals or gift card from this place as you will regret it. I prepaid for a darn massage and have never been able to use it because they implemented this scam tiered massage therapist program. If you have any other Tier other than 1 you have to pay extra. Mind you this is already on top of the $50 or $60 that you pay for a freaking mediocre massage. Then when you want a tier 1 massage the schedule is limited. I live an hour away and coming to this place is Not convenient. So let me tell you why I am pissed at this place. Scheduled a massage with them for 530pm, got a call the same day at 330pm to say therapist is sick and will cancel. Mind you I have a job and can't check my phone all the time. Got here and be darn, the massage is cancelled. Walked in to see if I could just get someone else to do my massage even if it means I have to pay more because I drove an hour here, but this place is empty. No receptionist, no other therapist and not even one person is working out in their gym. What kind of a scam business is this!!! I know the therapist was not sick, it was just not convenient for him because the day before they called me to see if I would come in earlier. I told them I would if I could but I can't because of the distance from my job. I confirmed with them, if this means they are cancelling my appointment and they said no. The day after they cancelled. Very "unprofessional" business. Extremely dislike. I am going to write to the owner for a refund so I don't have to visit this establishment ever again.

THE SIX-WEEK CHALLENGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! I must admit I'm…read morea little concerned with this challenge, for those who do not understand the details of weight loss. It took me only 20 mins to lose all trust in Soul Studio when asked to come in and learn more about this challenge. This challenge requires a predetermined number of pounds to lose. I was eyed up and down when asked if I had that amount to lose (as if I do). I was not sold when then told, "we are here to inspire people to be their best versions of themselves and offer the full package of support through nutrition and fitness". Let me tell you something, 100% of people will not be their best selves losing this much weight within six weeks. This is not where I want to build my trust and fitness community in. First, this challenge requires a security deposit ($$$), and is only given back AFTER you lose TWENTY POUNDS within SIX WEEKS. (great incentive to lose the weight and get your shit together *thumbs up*), however: Secondly, you need to know if you do NOT have 20 pounds to lose or if this is too much weight loss within a six-week duration (THIS IS A TON OF WEIGHT PEOPLE, IN A VERY LITTLE TIME!!!). You're setting yourself up for failure. Soul Studio is not going to let you know if this is too much weight, but will gladly take your money. There were ZERO measurements taken upon meeting with them to learn more about this challenge and if right for me. If they have no basis to create a plan, then there is no validity in what they're trying to sell. A normal starting point would be to figure out your body fat percentage by a body scan or caliper (takes less than 2 mins), you can then have a more accurate idea of where to set your goals. Without this, they're trapping you in to paying a security deposit, knowing it is an unrealistic ask to meet. Remember, this is *free*, so they do not need to recommend what's a healthy weight loss or even possible, BE EDUCATED! I personally would not put trust in someone creating this kind of scam and advocating unhealthy weight loss (EATING DISORDERS in my opinion). Let me tell you why: Some people do not have this much to lose, or don't know that within this duration it is probably unhealthy ('unhealthy' meaning damaging to your metabolism and mentality). You can start to really f*ck up your metabolism when losing more than 1% of your body weight per week. The recommendation is 0.4 -0.8% per week with a 1% maximum of your total body weight. *** Notice how this is a percentage and not a predetermined number? That's because weight loss needs to be customized and is different for every person. *** The more drastic your weight loss, the better your body learns how to be efficient (slower metabolism) in starvation mode. We adapt. It's amazing what our bodies can do for us if we were actually starving and trying to survive out in the wild. If we've lost weight and then regained (yo-yo dieting) our body gets better and better each time in starvation mode, and (assuming weight loss/gain was greater than 1% per week) our metabolism gets more and more efficient/slower each time. So, doing it right the first time is SO IMPORTANT. Slow and steady wins the race, and usually means more sustainable results to uphold after a "challenge". Because remember, once you've hit your goal weight, your goal should also be to maintain it. I'm 163lbs, 5' 7" and 21.7% BF. Losing half the weight of this challenge, would take me 10 weeks to do in a healthy way. That's .6% (between .4-.8%) weight loss of my total weight, which equals about 1 pound a week, therefore 10 weeks total (factoring in activity levels). Within this percentage, this also helps your body maintain lean body weight (muscle). TEN WEEKS, 1/2 THE WEIGHT. Of course, this is different if others have more BF to lose, but my point is to learn what's healthy before signing up for a challenge thats probs not right for you. This is a huge lifestyle change that you're making and need to take slowly and seriously if you're going to sustain after you hit your goal weight. I recommend to those out there really wanting to lose weight (in a healthy way) and keep if off to read Fat Loss Forever By: Peter Baker and Layne Norton. Layne Norton has a PHD in this stuff and knows what's up. It provides literally all the tools needed to customize your own weight loss plan. Formulations that help target body fat (preserving optimal lean body mass) at your current weight and activity level with a given duration of deprivation. Yes, there are many variables, but you will have a weight lose plan in mind after reading his book. Once you have a plan, THEN go find a gym/challenge and build network/community that can help hold you accountable... .....See photo for rest of my lengthy review that didn't fit.

My new local prenatal yoga center! Love this place!…read more The location was confusing at first since it's in a random office building off of a side road from a side road. However, their website literally has a picture of the building which is very helpful! This facility seems like a small start-up for some instructors/owners who seem to be involved with many baby/child/birth programs and companies throughout the Twin Cities but that is simply a speculation on my part. The instructor gave great insight on resources for a first time pregnant mom. Very helpful, again! The classroom was large and welcoming. The setting was casual as the few ladies in class chatted about daycares and birth centers and other baby things to begin class. The class itself was very beneficial in a way-preggo kinda breathe-breathe-breathe way. They have awesome pricing for passes and drop-ins. I'll be back for sure!

Dear LifeTime Member Services,…read more I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an incident that occurred today at the LifeTime Savage location. The experience left me feeling disrespected, unwelcome, and deeply concerned about the professionalism and fairness of the service I received. I visited the club to purchase a day pass for the pool. When I approached the front desk, I was assisted by an employee named Amy. She informed me that my ID was not valid for purchasing an entry. However, I want to make it clear that a valid ID is not required to purchase a day pass--I was fully prepared to pay the full rate. The issue was not the policy, but the way the situation was handled. Amy's tone and demeanor were unnecessarily harsh and dismissive. Instead of offering clarification or assistance, she spoke to me rudely and ultimately instructed me to leave the building. The interaction was abrupt, humiliating, and far from the level of respect I expect from a LifeTime representative. What troubles me most is that the treatment I received made me question whether bias or discrimination may have influenced the way I was spoken to and handled. No guest or potential guest should ever be made to feel singled out or judged. I am requesting a thorough review of this incident, including: Clarification of the ID policy and how it should be communicated to guests. An evaluation of the employee's conduct. Assurance that LifeTime upholds a standard of respect, fairness, and inclusivity for all individuals. This experience was upsetting, and I hope LifeTime will take this matter seriously. I look forward to a prompt response and to understanding what steps will be taken to address this situation. Sincerely, Ben N.
