First off, let me start off by saying I highly recommend Downdog Flow Yoga & Pilates Studio and…read moreMelissa as a Yoga and Pilate's teacher and here's why: Style: Melissa brings her own style and technique to her classes - it's a playful, fluid, and challenging practice - a combination of Vinyasa and Pilates. Not only do you get a good sweat but she always has a focus and intention behind it. She does a great job of breaking down the flow in an easy and methodical way and no class is ever alike. She always comes prepared with interesting and different flows and peak poses in which I admire and continue to be a student of hers as it goes to show you how much effort and work she puts towards giving the best to her students. She is always listening to her students and tailors her classes to deliver. Energy: I've been going to Downdog studio for a little over a year now and Melissa's energy and power has always been 110%. Her intensity is like no other instructor I know which permeates throughout the class. It drives her students to do better, to take us out of our comfort zones and to challenge and push ourselves pass our limits. This in turn has all of her students giving it there all every time they step into the studio. It also helps that it is a community atmosphere so you feel comfortable, engaged and always included. Personal: She goes above and beyond as a yoga instructor. Melissa genuinely cares and is concerned for all of her students. She will befriend you and always go the extra mile to guide you in the right direction of good health and well-being. She is truly on a mission to share the benefits of yoga, fitness and good health to everyone she meets. She has given me workouts, poses and stretches for restoration and follows up to see how I'm doing. Overall: Although your core will be fired up, you will definitely feel zen after every class leaving you to feel like you're ready to conquer any challenge life throws your way. If you want to better yourself on and off your mat, need a vigorous workout that is guaranteed to give you results physically and mentally, and would like to be part of a fun community atmosphere that motivates you, I highly recommend Melissa at the Downdog Flow Yoga and Pilates studio.

I absolutely love this place. To be honest, I already knew I was going to sign up simply so I could…read morehave access to a 24 hour sauna. I had a job that really took a toll on my muscles and I needed something I could access at odd hours of the day since my work hours were not consistent. I haphazardly started following along to one of the videos even though my intention was to just lay on the floor in the heat. needless to say, it was amazing. I'm not someone who regularly works out and I'm not even someone who likes the heat but I knew the infrared would be good for my tired muscles. Somehow, the infrared sauna makes it easier to move. And strangely, even though you're sweating, you feel so much cleaner afterward because your pores have just released everything! Make sure to drink lots of water so you don't pass out but I highly recommend this particular location. Everyone is so friendly but if you want to work out in private, like I did, the app is so useful in being able to see if anyone else is in the sauna you would like to book. There are even fun monthly challenges on little pamphlets you can fill out to help keep you motivated and going in on a regular basis. I really like that it's not weight oriented and more just about getting your body moving.

I signed up for a 3 month membership, not that they gave me a contract. The manager Clarissa just…read moretook my credit card and entered it into their system, no problem. That should have been my first warning. After fulfilling my 3rd payment, I found out that I need to have surgery and won't be able to attend anymore classes during recovery. And after I recover, I'll be moving out of state to care for my dad. So I submitted a cancellation request. I tried to do it through the app as it suggested but it just told me to call or visit the studio. When I called, no one answered and I thought, I'll be there in 2 days so I'll let them know then. When I got there, the girl told me she was 'just the weekend help' and couldn't cancel my policy and I would need to email the manager Clarissa. Okay, no big deal. So I did. But apparently by the time I got in touch with her I was a few days past the "30 day policy". Now, I've already payment for the 3 month program I agreed to, so why should I need to cancel anything to begin with. To me, this was just a curtesy so they wouldn't auto charge me for another month. But Clarissa tells me that I've missed the cut off time so I'll be charged another $300 for 8 classes that I won't even be able to use and says perkily in the email that they look forward to seeing me after my recovery. Which tells me 2 things. She didn't pay any attention to what I actually said in the email and she simply doesn't care. So I call, express my disappointment and she offers to escalate my concerns, which I agree to. Then, I get an email from Hannah, the Regional Manager telling me that despite my surgery and moving out of state, they have to be consistent with their policy for all members and (again) that I'll have access to the club through the end of August and they hope to see me there. Now someone make it make sense. I've told them I won't be medically capable or logistically capable of attending classes but they still tell me they hope to see me there? This company, admittedly, may have great instructors and great classes but they have no care for their members except for the money their members are bringing in. This is a company that I would rather cut of my nose to spite my face than ever deal with again. Most companies have medical policies or relocation policies in place for members that are dealing with real life situations, but not Club Pilates. Admittedly, I should have asked for the contract before signing up, that is most definitely my fault. With that being said, their predatory practices of signing you up without offering a contract and making it oh so easy to become a member without having to sign on the dotted line are disgusting. I will NEVER sign up with this company again. Lesson learned.

This class was definitely hard as a beginner but I tried to remember that this is new to your body and to give myself some grace. I did need some breaks but all in all the instructors tell you to listen to your body but they motivate you to keep going. It was a great class definitely will come back I signed up for 2 more classes of MEGA: Essentials. Which is their beginner class or for those who want to perfect their form. I do wish they had a 30 minute intro class that really went over the machines because it was hard to hear over the headset the instructors wear and I did find myself looking up and watching what others were doing. But still it was easy to keep up and understand after doing it once.
