The two week new client package was a great deal and now I do monthly unlimited classes. I look forward to going and every instructor is wonderful.

I highly recommend Ahhh Sweet Balance and in all honesty I try to go no less than 3 times weekly and if that darned thing called work didn't get in my way I'd go much more.

It's people that want to take time out of their day to care of themselves and check in on those around them. Ginger does a wonderful job of making people feel welcome and all of the instructors I've taken - on getting a feel for where their students are at "skill" wise as well as safety - checking in if any yoginis have injuries, etc. If you live in the 21st century you know that fitness classes are expensive. Ginger often does discounts around holidays that included $10 classes for $100 - a steal for these kind of classes and makes it accessible for those who maybe can't afford this all the time. Anyways if ya haven't tried Roots get ova here AND park - true north coffee is next door - chefs kiss!

The studio is on the second floor of this old brick building in the trendy part of downtown Haverhill, where parking is ample either on the street or in the back parking lot ($.50/hr during the weekday, free after 8pm and on weekends). There's a really cute lobby area where you can leave your stuff on the benches. There's also a small curtained-off changing area. This might be weird to say, but I was also impressed by how clean and tastefully decorated the bathrooms are. But of course, the most important room is the yoga room, in which the positive and relaxing energy is almost palpable. High ceilings, dark wooden exposed beams, mustard yellow walls, and tall windows that look out onto the Merrimack River. This room beats any dingy gym I have ever taken a yoga class in. There are a ton of classes to choose from throughout the week, and the business operations of this studio run as smooth as butter. Just reserve a spot for a class online and then show up. There are a bunch of different payment and class bundle options available too. The owner, Caroline Giles is so incredibly friendly and encouraging. I also love how there are different classes for all levels of fitness and experience. I just wish classes weren't so pricey, although I think the $10/class cost is pretty average for places around here.

Yoga Tree is wonderful. The studio is comfortable and friendly. They have a variety of classes and times to choose from and it is incredibly easy to sign up online.

The studio provides mats, blocks, blanks, bolsters to the participants during class if needed (free of charge). There is a ton of on street and also lot parking behind the studio.

I became an elite (8 monthly classes) member over the holiday. I bought a couple 30 pack classes prior to joining with the 8 classes. I asked the gentleman at the front desk (Sean) to please add me to the class because I hadn't signed up. I then asked if he could make sure it comes off my Elite 8 pack that expires, and not the 30 class pack that has no expiration, as this has been an issue for me the past month. Sean then stated that this is done at your home studio. I simply explained that this has actually happened before (at N. Reading and Assembly Row) and that I know it needs to be fixed at N. Reading. Sean then turns the computer screen to me and says, I've worked here for 4 years there's no where for me to change it. I again explained, I'm not sure how it was done prior but it is always done at the gym I signed up for the class. Sean then says "do I need to remove you from class?" Shocked, I asked for what? As I opened my phone to check to see if the class was pulled from my Elite or 30 pack. Sean responds, "Are you having a bad day?" When I saw the class came off my Elite I just walked away. All I can say is WOW... I've worked in the fitness industry for a very long time. I worked as a front desk staff for YEARS and I've never spoken to or had anyone speak to me as rudely as this gentleman. I was so upset, I couldn't even work off my anger and ended up leaving class early. I truly hope this is not how you train your staff. Especially when I was just concerned about losing a class. In the future you might want to train your staff to kindly ask the members to check the application first to make sure the class was pulled wrong. You also might want to train your staff on how to fix this if and when it happens to someone else.

I loved this gym for about a year. Fully drank the koolaid, had monthly unlimited memberships, posted obnoxiously on my instagram stories, participated in all of the challenges they ran. Loved it! The coaches were amazing, body positive, people who would push you in the most uplifting way. Especially Chrys and Kristen. Fast forward to COVID. As things started reopening, corporate sent out an emailing with the tone of "we are here for you when you are ready, let us know if you aren't via email/phone" same day I received it, I emailed back to the studio detailing how we have an immunocompromised person in our quaranteam and I can't risk it- and to count me out. Then, months later in a FB group I saw someone comment that they'd been charged. It appears this happened to multiple members. That cued me to check my credit card statements and I noticed a charge for July and August. I contacted the studio and they blamed the old management and that they had no record of me cancelling. (It didn't raise any suspicion as they are charging all of these accounts who aren't ever coming in and using their classes?) I fwded them the email I sent and they didn't care. They eventually refunded one of the two charges but say since it took me "over a month" to realize the July charge, there was nothing they could do for me. What's worse than gaining weight during a pandemic? Still paying $109 for OTF. Turns out, all of my favorite people there were fired/left when management was changed completely during COVID.
