I can't say enough about Sonia Shaeri the Iyengar instructor. I immediately connected with her two…read moreyears ago after taking a few random beginner yoga classes with others. Sonia was firm, demanding yet so knowledgeable and deft in her command of the room. Although a beginner I switched to her rather demanding classes. I had no idea what Iyengar was but now I am a huge huge fan. Hers is a master class, many experts and teachers attend it along with groundlings like me. I have made a lot of progress under her tutelage, now able to do decent head stands. I attend three of her four classes each week. Luckily the teacher and the style both resonate with me. Iyengar as taught by Sonia is very challenging for me yet satisfying. It leaves me feeling centered and grounded. The community is great. Everyone is dedicated to the practice and is an excellent example of how a yogi should be.

I was looking for something to boost my confidence and fitness, and I found it here. The infrared sauna workouts are incredible--intense, fast, and I leave feeling so empowered every time. BUT! I have to give a huge shoutout to Stella and her amazing staff at HOTWORX! From the moment I walked in, they've been more than just employees. They are my biggest cheerleaders. They actually take the time to know your name and greet you every single day. Whether I have a question about a session or just need a little motivation, they are always helpful, friendly, and genuinely kind. It's rare to find a team that makes you feel so seen and supported. Also the entire studio is spotlessly clean and has such a positive, inviting vibe. If you are on the fence, just do it! It has given me so much confidence in myself. 10/10!"

Every workout leaves me feeling clear, energized, and lighter. Stress does not stand a chance in that infrared heat. The studio is impeccably clean. Truly one of the cleanest fitness spaces I've ever been in. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and professional. Stella, Emily, Miranda, and Brianna know their clients by name and genuinely care. You can feel it the moment you walk in. This place has quickly become part of my routine, and honestly, one of my favorite parts of the week. Highly recommend.

Happy 1600th Review!! I have been saving Barre Element for this milestone review since they have…read morebeen my latest love as the fitness industry is allowed to slowly reopen with strong restrictions. My heart aches for the fitness industry as I began my early career for a fitness company's corporate office for 5 and a half years. Many of my former coworkers and close friends experienced hardships due to the pandemic. On top of that, my former go-to Barre studio in Irvine, Cardio Barre/Ever Barre did not survive the economic downfalls of the pandemic... Thankfully I was able to find Barre Element through the Mind Body app, and I absolutely love it!! Prior to signing up, I called the business to make sure they were for-reals ready to open. Liz answered my call and she was extremely sweet and professional. She informed me of all of the safety precautions and what I needed to bring to the class. After my conversation with Liz, I was so reassured and positive about the studio that I committed to the Intro 1st Month Unlimited ($99). Covid Safety - Everyone takes their temperature at the door. Clearly marked 6 ft distance in the studio. Limit capacity to 8 students. Extra efforts into sanitizing, air filter and uv light disinfecting. Covid liability waiver. Virtual classes also available on Zoom if you are not personally comfortable with going back to the studios yet. For any first timers, you will need grip socks. Available for purchase if you do not already have your own pair. Definitely bring water!! Mats are available, but I like to bring my own. Be ready to experience soreness after your work out!! There is a board on the far end of the studio indicating which fitness props you need for the day, such as weights, resistance bands, weight ball, etc. Don't be late!! And let your instructor know if you have any injuries/issues prior to class. I have been to so many classes and I love all of the instructors and the other ladies who take class. Everyone is absolutely lovely and we all send out positive vibes, encourage and love to each other. Shout out to my Barre BFF Fran!!! We met in barre class quite recently but if you see us interacting, you would think we have been BFFs for everrrsssss. Here are a few of the classes and instructors I have encountered. In chronological order to be fair :) Barre with Ci'Monique - My first first first class here and first real work out after months of being lockdown in the pandemic was with Ci'Monique! I love her energy. This class is designed to help tone and lengthen lean muscles. The combination of movements help strength your core with added elements of cardio and sculpting exercises. Her energy and music selection really helps keep me motivated and pushing to do my best. Classic Barre with Mary - Less cardio and more traditional dance movements. This class aims to lean and lengthen. Mary is super sweet, but her work outs will still kick your butt! Barre Intensity with Christina - I loooove Christinaaaa!! Her classes are tough, but she always reminds you to listen to your body and provide alternatives for more or less intensity. This class combines pilates, dance and functional fitness. It is a full body work out and you definitely leave feeling mentally and physically stronger. Barre Intensity with Vanessa - Similar style as class mentioned above. When I got to Vanessa's classes I can expect a good toning work out because she is preparing for her wedding and I am preparing for my friend's wedding so I really appreciate the arm leaning movements despite how much I melt in class. She sticks it out with us the entire time to reach her own goals. Yoga Sculpt/Yoga Sculpt EXTREME with Celia - I love Celia so much but her work out definitely made my fat cry. I sign up for classes based on my personal schedule and availability so I didn't read when I signed up for. When I came to the Yoga Sculpt I already died, and apparently I signed up for the EXTREME version the following day. This class is a combination of Barre and PiYo, so there is a lot of isometric exercises with added vinyasa flow. It may seem like simple movements, but your body will definitely feel the burn. In addition to loving all the classes, the instructors and fellow barre ladies, Element Barre has an amazing merchandise section. I have purchased cute cute shirts that Liz has designed, a decent amount of grip socks and even cute fashionable hot pink weights that I use outside of class too. I just love everything about this place. I am so grateful to have discovered this hidden gem to help me pursue my personal goals and just be the best version of myself I can be. I always catch feelings for physically super fit guys, so I better stay in somewhat decent shape to keep up :)

Your yoga classes are same and mundane and I don't want to be taught by a recent graduate of your studio ur perhaps a student in training. I reinjured my back injury and you couldn't care less. You refused to give me a refund for being dissatisfied with your yoga training course. It's obvious you can't handle criticism. Perhaps you should adapt to the HIPPA medical law concept and not talk about your students or even your current clients in your yoga teacher courses. Shameful. No, you're not a true yogi that you think you are. Revisit your own teachings! Max
