Align Cycling just opened up in June after being in the Burlington area and being previously known…read moreas REV. They've expanded their mission and now offer both fitness and cycling classes at their studio. I took a fitness class this week, which was an hour long, and what I loved about it is that they focused on mobility, posture and form while lifting, and core strength. We spent the first 15 minutes warming up, stretching, and rolling out our muscles. I love that it was focused on form and mobility, unlike other fitness classes I've taken. I also took a spin class here and their spin studio is huge and beautiful! It had so many bikes! They also use headsets for their spin studio, which I had never used before. You can adjust the volume for your personal headset and listen to the music as loud as you like. This was so appreciated because I always have to use earplugs at other studios because the music is so loud. The bikes also have baskets for regular sneakers OR you can turn over the pedals and clip in with spin shoes, I've never seen that before, it's so cool! You can rent spin shoes here for $3. A couple things to note: they don't offer a free class for your first time in the studio, and most studios I've been to offer a free class to explore the studio and see if you're interested in their space. I'm curious if this will change as they become more established. They have class packs for their fit classes, and class packs for their spin classes, but they don't have combined class packs unless you get their unlimited studio pass, which I was a little bummed about because I had wanted to try both. I just purchased a day pass for each class - the fitness class drop in is $24 for an hour long class, and the spin class drop in is $22 for a 45 minute class. They also don't provide towels for their classes, which would be a nice addition. Most spin studios I've gone to provide towels for their guests. The studio is beautiful and clean, and all of the equipment looks brand new. I'm excited to see this place grow as they continue to make adjustments and become established in the community!

First up is the atmosphere: this is not your run of the mill fit club largely due to its bright environs (the floor to ceiling windows make up much of the wall space here); It's stylish, has decor, live plants which make it all seem very inviting. It is uber clean inside, no off aromas like some 24 hour place I know that brags about not being judgmental, but I wish they judged the cleanliness and aromas in their gyms. Anyway, there is a swimming pool (kept at a really comforting temperature) that also serves for aquatic exercise class, and some physical therapy sessions. The land type offerings include state-of-the-art, brand new and well maintained (think cleanliness here) equipment (there seems to be something for everyone with respect to equipment). Finally the people who work here are stellar in my estimation. They are kind, relaxed, professional, and the list could go on and on. It's just really un empty place. I'm so glad that I found it. The only downside if there could be one would be the hours that they are opened because it's basically 7 AM to 6 PM which can be somewhat limited for from some people's perspective. No biggie for me. I just love the place and highly recommend it!

What makes this studio superior is, basically, the teachers and the students. Christine is a natural teacher; patient, incisive, caring. And she knows her anatomy as well as any doctor; she'll take a quick look at your posture, and then correctly guess that you took a 3-mile hike up a steep grade two days ago. The she'll suggest a subtle workaround for those tight calves. And the students: they're serious. Most of them are regulars, and the atmosphere once class begins is one of concentration (but not solemnity; there's regular bouts of laughter, incited mostly by christine). Throw in a lovely, light-drenched studio with views of the green mountains, a few friendly dogs, and $110 for a 10-class pass, and you've got the best yoga studio in the state.

Just for a little back ground here first. I used to train in TKD when I was much younger. I had…read morebroken my ankle and I was forced to stop training for 6-8 years. I personally decided to come back and train at Kojo's after looking at 3-4 different dojang's. Including the one I started at years ago. I did stop at each of them and spoke with the head instructor. Before I had to stop I did make it to green belt. Master Barrett made it very clear that I may keep that rank but I felt like I wanted to start over at the white belt level and he respected that. So now lets get onto the review shall we? If i have to put this is the minimal amount of words I'd say Kojo TKD is amazing! Master Barrett and his team of instructors are great. It's really that simple! Master Barrett is the main instructor for the TKD classes. He provides a lot of structure for his classes. The classes are built upon Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control and Indomitable spirit. Every class is different and I feel like I leave learning something new! Not to mention the workout that comes with the each class. Even the senior students help out students of lower rank. Its always done with respect and they are willing to answer any question that you can throw at them. This is a huge plus for me! I like to pay attention to detail. (Personality trait!) The Dojang is also kept very clean. Recently they just put in new training matts. So we are currently breaking them in! Kojo also offers a lot of different class times. You can pick from 2-3 on M-F ranging from early afternoon to later at night and on Saturday they have a few morning classes. Classes offered here are TKD class, Sparring, Senior belt and they even have classes for the younger kids. Over all Kojo comes highly recommended from me. For any of you that follow my reviews know that its hard to put stamp a 5/5 stars on a review like this. TKD has become more of a personal choice of fitness for me so I had high expectations here. So I'm happy to report that I can not find any thing negative to say here. If you are looking for some Martial Arts training, new dojang to train at I would really consider stopping in. Their beginner class is a great deal! They even let you take a free class and they have no contracts.

I started training at Kojo Academy when I was 8 or 9 and I am sure that my parents would say that…read moreit was a great way for me to get all of my energy out and focused under Master Barrett's (and the other wonderful instructors') training. I learned respect, self-confidence, and courtesy, in addition, to staying healthy and active. I would go to Kojo almost every day after school when I was in middle school and high school. It was a home away from home. I was able to earn my 1st dan black belt and compete at the regional and national levels. However, opportunities in my life have taken me away from Kojo and continuing my training, but I am always excited to drop in, say hello, and get a class in whenever I am in the neighborhood. In short, the instructors at Kojo have so much experience, insight, and energy to offer any new student, who wishes to start or continue on in their training. I cannot recommend Kojo Academy highly enough. Try out a class and get ready to have a great time with a fantastic community!

We tend to sit on the sofa and chairs in the corner and just knit. The Wood stove, kept stocked by the owner, Miles, keeps us toasty and warm. There are barn animals just behind the bedrooms where you can approach and pat the sheep and alpaca, and hear the rooster crow in the early hours. There are several bathrooms and bunk rooms for 4. Sunsets through the enormous picture window are fabulous, also mountain views and wildlife. Walks on the deserted dirt road are peaceful and the trails surrounding the barn go through the woods and to a meadow. A wonderful place to rejuvenate.

SHARC is Sugarbush ski mountain's little-known sidekick, which has been around for a million years…read more At some point, I think it may've been rebranded as the Sugarbush Health and Recreation Center -- the road signs say Health and Racquet Club; the website says Health and Recreation Center -- but it's still SHARC and it's still exactly the way it was 15 years ago. The space is not shiny new, and it's not fancy. At this point, it almost has a certain retro charm. We like it because it's an island of non-pretentious, semi-normalcy amidst the sometimes very high end resort towniness of the rest of the Sugarbush enterprise. This is just a plain ol' place with plain ol' people. The facilities are about on par with a YMCA. I understand there's some angst at the child mobs that take over when the weather isn't well suited for skiing. We try to be as civilized as possible with our children, but still get stinkeye from some staff. I understand the angst, and on the other side of the equation, I might share it. Children (including mine) are sometimes loud and obnoxious, the adolescent girls we shared the locker room with did leave an extraordinary amount of water on the floor. I did not enjoy being on the receiving end of angst. The staff does make sometimes heroic efforts to keep the place clean, though thoughtless patrons track grit into the pool and and locker room areas by wearing street shoes. Sometimes there's flotsam in the pool that I wish wasn't there. One day I was thoughtfully offered two towels per person, one for the pool and one for the shower, after; the second day, I received one and some attitude when I asked for a second. The range of child-accessible activities is great: There's an adventure zone set up with two bouncy castles (one a bit dark and sketchy), a bungee jumping station (for an additional fee), ping pong, tennis, basketball and tennis areas. There's a decent climbing wall available for an additional fee, as well, and we hear it comes with instruction if you want it. The sign in the climbing room said children over 1 year old were welcome to partake, though I think the website restricted the activity to children over 3 years old. Officially, the adventure zone and climbing wall are not open until 3 p.m. -- but there seems to be some flexibility in start times, especially on days when skiing is not at its best. For adults, the facilities include a cardio exercise room, a weight room, a classroom for pilates and yoga, a spin studio. The cardio room is open to the reception area, which I personally find unpleasant since I like to gasp, wheeze and sweat with greater privacy. Near the reception area, there are swim suits, swim diapers, goggles, etc... for sale if you forget your own, and light snacks (Cliff bars, other bars, water and juice), at non-exorbitant prices IIRC. If you have children and you don't want to schlep to Burlington for Get Air or the Upper Valley Aquatics Center near Hanover, SHARC is overall a great option for folks to get some of the sillies out when temperatures fall below -25 F on the mountain (or when it's 70 F in February). Could it be better? Yep. But we're glad it's there in any form.
