Orange theory is overall a unique and addictive fitness experience and this location does it so well ! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, always smiling.

The studio itself it clean, has adequate space, parking is never a challenge and a fun place. Some hot time slots have waitlists but they clear up fast. Overall, I feel connected to this studio and recommend coming here for good music, getting stronger and having a sense of community

I've heard these classes are really intense. I like the cardio element but I didn't find it as challenging as everyone says it is. The strength training killed my knees as some of the exercises you are on the floor (really hard surface) and also on the bench. I wanted to skip all of these for the sake of my knees but I survived. All in all, I say an average workout. I did burn 393 calories which is great!

Most of the staff are pleasant, especially the front desk team. They greet you when you walk in, which makes me feel welcome. That's such a nice way to start the day. I personally haven't used the steam or dry sauna since COVID. I've heard people overuse the area & that's not cool. Many good things changed like members also don't reserve spots the way they used to. And I rarely see or hear ladies talking loudly on their phones in the locker room these days, which is a really good thing. I just want to say that Plex is clearly working with its members. Following rules, regulations, and basic etiquette isn't always easy for everyone, so better communication makes a big difference. Of course that's not easy either. A big thank you to the cleaning team. All work you do keeping the gym clean & clean towels!

This past Tuesday, we decided to drop in to watch a World Cup soccer match, and to our surprise, the place was packed! I approached Alex to ask if there was any available seating, and he went above and beyond to assist us. Not only did he help us find a spot, but he also checked in on us throughout the evening to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. What really stood out was how Alex treated everyone around him. He was constantly walking around, checking on guests and making sure everything was running smoothly. Thanks to his exceptional service, we had a fantastic time! A huge thank you to Alex and the entire team at The Plex for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

I've been taking classes with Sandra at Silver Creek Pilates for over a month now, and I can…read morehonestly say she's the reason I've become so hooked on Pilates. I've never really been into fitness before, aside from trying mat Pilates at home for a few months in college, and I started out feeling pretty weak and not very athletic. Sandra has completely changed that for me. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and attentive. She's taught me how important proper form and breathing are, and I've learned more in a month than I ever expected. The studio itself is always very clean, and with only six reformers, the classes feel intimate and focused. I never feel lost or overlooked, which can easily happen in larger classes. Sandra takes the time to correct form and adjust weights for each person (if needed), and it's clear she genuinely cares about her students' progress. She's even offered helpful advice outside of class, like encouraging me to eat more protein to support muscle recovery and practice ankle strengthening exercises. I also want to give a shoutout to Angela, another instructor at the studio. I've taken a class with her as well - she was fantastic and helped me become more mindful of my knee locking tendencies. I started going once a week, then gradually increased my schedule, and now I happily attend classes three times a week. Pilates has become such an important part of my routine that I can't imagine going a week without it. I even hesitate to plan vacations in fear of missing class xD I truly can't recommend this studio enough! It's made a lasting impact on how I view fitness and my overall health.

My wife and I recently had an introductory semi-private Pilates session with Sandra, and I honestly…read morewasn't expecting to be as impressed as I was. I've been athletic and active pretty much my entire life, but I had never tried Pilates. I initially went mainly to support my wife and to do something different together. After the session, I was genuinely surprised by how challenging and effective Pilates was. With all my years of being an athletic, I've never experienced anything quite like it when it comes to isolating specific muscle groups and really challenging the core. Sandra was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining what we were doing and, more importantly, why we were doing it. She was able to demonstrate the full range of benefits of Pilates and show us how the exercises work muscles you may not normally focus on or even realize need to be trained. I could actually feel the difference during the session. What really stood out was Sandra's her self and her ability to teach. She paid close attention to our form and technique while explaining how each movement contributes to strength, stability, flexibility, and core control. She didn't just tell us about the benefits of Pilates--she showed us and let us experience them firsthand. I went into the session not really knowing what to expect, and I left with a completely different appreciation for Pilates. Sandra made the experience challenging, informative, and enjoyable. If you've never tried Pilates, I would highly recommend taking a session with Sandra. I'll definitely be going back for additional sessions. After just one session, I understand why people rave about what benefits it offers.

They had their soft opening in November 2025 and I started with the 12 class package. Since I quickly fell in love with Pilates, I upgraded to the unlimited membership. I'm a morning person, so I love attending the early classes. For me, showing up to a 6am class feels like a real commitment and the best way to start the day. The staff are always friendly, warm, and welcoming. I've taken classes with Lorraine, Amy, Kristoff, Taryrn, and Yvonne. Each instructor has a different teaching style and music selection, which keeps every class fresh and interesting, but they are all knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely attentive to your form and progress. I attend about 4 to 5 times a week and it has really helped my overall well-being, posture, and strength. I definitely recommend this studio especially because it's in a great location, clean, well-maintained and has such a positive atmosphere. It's been one of the best investments I've made for my health.

In the 15+ years I've been practicing reformer Pilates, and more than five years attending Club…read morePilates--I officially had the worst reformer Pilates class I've experienced to date. Unfortunately, it was here, led by Lorraine. As a Passport member, I'm accustomed to visiting different Club Pilates studios, and I understand that classes can vary, particularly for someone at Level 2. But this was beyond normal studio-to-studio variation. The instruction itself was exceptionally poor. First, Lorraine did not clearly articulate instructions. She spent a significant portion of the class physically correcting people, while also making snide comments when they failed to follow directions that had barely been explained in the first place. Watching an instructor embarrass participants for not understanding unclear instructions was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Second, the class lacked basic choreography and organization. We were constantly moving boxes on and off the reformers at different points rather than completing a cohesive block of box work. Each time, I had to ask, "Short box or long box?" and where she wanted it positioned. At one point, she already had us lying on the box with straps in hand before suddenly saying, "Oh, you have to move your bar down." That meant everyone had to get back up, reset the equipment, and then reposition themselves. These kinds of mistakes waste valuable class time. When an instructor forgets an equipment adjustment, particularly one involving the entire class, proper instruction would be to help facilitate the correction rather than leave everyone scrambling through another transition--especially participants who may not yet be comfortable with quick equipment changes. Third, the spring loads and weights consistently seemed inappropriate for the exercises, and she provided virtually no options based on skill level or individual needs. Instead, instructions were simply things like "use a blue spring," even for exercises where additional resistance or stability would normally be expected. At one point she asked, "Do you feel that?" and I genuinely answered, "Nope." I didn't. Fourth, the class was so disorganized that she attempted to end it after approximately 30 minutes. Everyone looked confused, and she responded, "Oh, I thought this was a 30-minute class." I have never attended a 30-minute Club Pilates reformer class. That moment summed up just how disoriented the entire session felt. Fifth, the class made me seriously question Lorraine's level of reformer training and familiarity with Club Pilates programming. This wasn't recognizable CP programming with occasional creative variations. We were repeatedly given incomplete instructions, questionable form, and exercises that seemed disconnected from the reformer workout itself. Floor burpees? Seriously? At one point, it felt like she had forgotten she was teaching Pilates. She also completely skipped the legs-in-straps portion that normally provides an important stretch and release toward the end of class. I wasn't sore the following day because I'd had a great workout; my calves were cramped because we never properly stretched out. I do want to give credit where it is deserved: the woman working at the front desk was wonderful. She was incredibly kind and helpful when I called because I was having trouble finding the studio. She was also gracious and compassionate toward another woman from our class who decided to end her membership after being humiliated by the instructor during class. Ultimately, this reflects poorly on the studio. Members should be able to trust that someone leading a reformer class understands the equipment, proper sequencing, appropriate resistance, transitions, form, and equally important--how to treat participants respectfully. If Lorraine is the owner or in management, that might explain why her behavior appeared to go unchecked. Either way, I strongly encourage studio management to review the recording of this class and evaluate it for themselves. For reference: Friday, August 28, 2026, 4:00 p.m. class. I don't leave reviews like this lightly, but after more than 15 years of reformer Pilates, this class was bad enough that I felt other members deserved to know what they may be walking into

As promised in my last blurb, I'm leaving an updated review!…read more I can't believe it's been 7 months since I started and I've definitely seen results. I've always been somewhat active but never strong....Well, I not only feel stronger but my muscles are more toned and my running has also improved. Prior to FIT, I ran a 10k in college in 1:02 (~10-minute pace). Recently, I completed another 10k and finished in 50 minutes (~8-minute pace). The BIGGEST thing for me is that I've also been able to finish my first half and I'm excited to do more! Mike is truly the ace in your hand. He's the guy you want on your side and he genuinely cares about you. As an example, he helped me prepare for my race by running the coyote creek trail with me on a weekend (his day off). Aside from boot camp, I also come out to track intervals on Tuesday mornings and they're a great way to start the day and improve your mile-time. Whether you attend spinning, boot-camp, or TRX, Mike will challenge you and make it easy to commit to being healthy. He will provide constructive criticism and celebrate accomplishments. Every workout, he gets the best out of you and you will want to do the extra set and add the extra weight! I've been able to reach some of my fitness goals and I credit Mike and Alissa...so if you are in the market for a lifestyle change, definitely give FIT a shot!

Needless to say, they have been very happy with their decisions since. They enjoy the strict and structured learning environment that sets high expectations for them to achieve. Respect emanates in this environment as everyone greets one another with a customary bow of acknowledgment. While the masters are firm, they are also very supportive and fun. My girls start each class with seriousness but leave with light hearted smiles. It's been over a year now and my once weak daughters have developed not only tight muscles but also a strong sense of self confidence; thanks to the rigor of each lesson. Seeing my fragile girls accomplishing challenging, powerful moves makes me cringe but also feel impressed. Thank you to the passionate and professional masters at Choi's for instilling the love for martial arts in my girls. It is now an element of their identity. Unlike many other martial art schools, I like the authentic feel of Choi's dojang. They are not commercialized. They don't try to sell you anything or talk you into signing long term contracts to trap you in. Some other places I've encountered, they pressure you with gimmicks like a limited time promotion or try to sell you merchandise. There are no salesman here, just genuine martial artists who wants to share their expertise with those whom are interested in practicing this form. I would definitely recommend Choi's Tae Kwon Do to anyone that is looking for a quality and valuable enrichment.

I wasn't very happy about it but I think the studio is trying their best. Maybe they could not find enough instructors that fit their criteria. The main instructor does not have the most clear speaking and his voice is low. The result is that I have to pay close attention to understand his instructions. Not how the little ones can follow up. I see my son usually just follows what other kids are doing instead of hearing and responding to the instructions. These are red flags. Now I think of it, I should have talked to the studio about these concerns. But I did not. What was really upsetting and surprising to me is that one day the main instructor talked to me about my son's inattention and disruptive behaviors and stated that if he doesn't improve, they will remove him from the class. I was a bit shocked. My son is like most 6 years old active boy, who is not best at following the instructions in a big class. However, this is their first attempt to "help" him. Yet, it came with a warning/threat, if he doesn't improve, he will be removed from the class. I can think of several ways to support him. 1. We could position him in the first of three rows of students, making sure he could hear clearly and get frequent eye contact from the instructor to help him to stay focused. 2. We could reduce the class size or increase the green belt helpers who can assist in helping the kids to learn the moves and stay focused. 3. The studio could at least talk to parents about how to support the student ONCE before threatening that they are going to remove him from the class. I'm really disappointed. My son loves martial arts and wants to learn. He does struggle with attention, like a lot of 6 years old. But I think he deserves a little more support than what the studio is providing. This feedback is directed toward the silver creek campus. Not sure how other campuses are doing. I'm going to try to talk to the instructor and see if it will help to solve the problem. I will come back to edit my review if the result restores my confidence in this place.

That's honestly a steal so definitely check Groupon every now and then for amazing deals. I tried so many classes with different instructors to see which class called to me and I honestly love Hot Yoga the most. I have tried the Warm Vinyasa class and Hot Pilates as well. They were both lovely and fun classes to take but something about Hot Yoga and being in a heated room (90-105 degrees Fahrenheit) sounds so nice and soothing to me. This type of environment is believed to enhance flexibility, improve circulation, and promote detoxification through sweating. I have been doing Hot Yoga (Bikram Yoga aka 26 postures and two breathing exercises) for almost 2 months now and I truly believe Hot Yoga has improved all of those things for me. My whole body doesn't hurt as much from sitting at the desk all day and I can actually feel myself feeling healthier and looking much happier. A tip I would like to mention is that staying really hydrated the day before a Hot Yoga class helps tremendously! Listen to how your body feels to avoid overheating. No need to push yourself to take classes everyday and to take it at your own pace!
