The instructors (they are all great) offer modifications and challenges with every move. The studio also offers "Toned down" classes for newbies or anyone that just wants a slower paced class. Every class is different so you will never get the same workout. I can feel myself getting stronger with every class and still leave super sweaty! I just love the positive energy this brings to my day. I can't recommend this workout and studio enough!

I love SHRED! I've been coming here intermittently since I moved to Quincy in 2014. I generally go…read moreto the Spin classes when I need a good butt-kicking. While the classes book up far in advance, I've never had an issue getting off the wait list. The studio is very welcoming. The owner, Elizabeth, makes a point to get to know her customers by name. I appreciate the variety of clientele as well. There's all different ages, body types, genders, etc. I've never felt intimidated in a class by the other participants. The prices are also incredibly reasonable and I've been able to get good deals by being subscribed to the newsletter. The "SHRED Shorty with Weights" with Caitlin is an intense class. It reminds me of SoulCycle, but way harder. I've taken Caitlin's non-weight classes and have also had my butt completely kicked. I've taken a Pilates class with Amanda and it's been on my to-do list to return to because I loved it so much. If I ever move from Quincy, I'll be sure to return to SHRED whenever possible :)

I absolutely adore Kim and my Powerhouse Pilates experience…read morewith her. Both my friend and I have been going to her duet Reformer classes for a number of months now and I can feel the difference in my core strength and balance. Even my posture has improved. I'm in my late 60s and have some physical restrictions due to arthritis, and Kim knows exactly how to work with me to adapt certain exercises and still benefit from the experience. She is kind, caring, and has an incredible depth of knowledge about Pilates and the purpose and value of each exercise. She is an amazing teacher and I look forward to my session every week. Kim is a highly qualified instructor and can work with students at any level of Pilates training, from complete newby (like I was) up to up to highly advanced Pilates students and even other teachers. I'm so glad I found Kim and Powerhouse Pilates

So, yeah...I'm basically obsessed with Secret Physique. I drive to Pembroke from Plymouth {not…read moreTHAT long of a drive, but still} three or four times a week to take barre class, and it is so worth it. If you can find a workout that you actually look forward to, it's best to hang on to it! The main offering is the Secret Physique Barre class and that's what I usually take. What is barre? In a nutshell, a barre workout fuses together ballet-based stretching and terminology {plie, releve, etc} with yoga, Pilates, and light weights for the upper body. Each exercise is done with high reps until you completely fatigue the muscle; then you immediately stretch and move on. This light-weights-high-reps-and-streeetcchh combo is what give you those long, lean dancer's muscles. The classes follow the same general format each time, although the exercises themselves switch up, so it's easy to get into the groove of things and see your progress over time. You see results fairly quickly with regular barre classes ~ a firmer, stronger body in general. Secret Physique also offers Bardio {which I haven't taken} and Barre Works {which I have once, unintentionally} classes for more intense classes with cardio elements, as well as Pound, a complete different workout that uses drumsticks, rock music, and a whole lotta squats. Of course in a workout class situation, you are always going to find instructors you prefer over others, and I REALLY enjoy Kerry, Jenna and Jenny's classes; however every barre class follows the same format {upper body, stretch, thighs, stretch, glutes, stretch, abs, thigh/glute combo, and cool-down} and all the girls I've taken classes from are friendly and pleasant.

I like that you can do everything as best you can and still get a good workout even if you aren't a pro. Great music in class, too. It helps distract you from the pain! The studio is comfortable and clean and the instructors I've had are great. The location is a little tough to find and the classes have difficult times for me to accommodate... I'd be in there every day if the studio was closer to home in Braintree or if there was a 6 AM class. This is the perfect supplement to my cardio workouts and a great way to tone up and get stronger. I highly recommend checking it out and register for your first class through MindBody online... I got my second class for free!
