Walk in after a stressful day, leave my shoes at the door, and the moment I step inside everything just quiets down. The 90-minute Vinyasa classes hit different--long enough to really sink in, sweat it out, and come out feeling reset instead of rushed. Instructors read the room so well; some days they'll push you harder, others they give you space to breathe and modify without making you feel like you're slacking. The community is low-key and kind--no Instagram posing, just people actually there for the practice. Small studio, but it never feels claustrophobic. Honestly, it's become the best part of my week. Five stars, no question.

I went to get their 1 week unlimited class since I was just visiting Manila but it was definitely worth it. Also, my sister and I went to a private yoga session with Enzo - his knowledge for yoga partnered with his strength and experience is definitely impressive. Only reminder is bring a hair tie, they're pretty pricey ;)

Urban Ashram paved way to my Introduction to Yoga 101 classes. It just opened when they handed me…read moreand encouraged me to try their classes with a 15-day pass. It was enough to convince me to keep going to my classes (mostly just FNR or Flexibilty Not Required). Though I don't go as often as I used to, it's the only studio in BGC that I would come back to. I've not stepped foot in a yoga studio before trying Urban Ashram but it was exactly what I expected it to be. Clean and vibrant with their trademark colours of violet and green. Their staff are very friendly, too! I just finished an FNR class today with them and it was my first time meeting my teacher for that class. Mj was really nice and though some people think of yoga as a serious workout, she made it relatable for everyone. We were all girls in class today and she didn't want to stress us out with the poses and didn't do chaturanga poses. It was mostly due to how insane the heat was today! Walk-in students pay P500 for each class. And they last at least an hour. They have various programs and packages for you to try. You should head out and know for sure what you're in for! Their teachers are highly trained and certified. So you're in good hands when you do your hand stands, crow poses or what have you. You're guaranteed the attention you deserve!

My first time at Urban Ashram BHS was for a trial yoga class for kids! I took my 3YO to check out…read morethe program and it was absolutely fun. My daughter loves almost anything that requires physical activity and seeing the yoga instructors don some fun "costumes," she was definitely ready to play! She even got to stand on the "sand castle" made of other instructors and kids. It was super fun and I will definitely enroll her for yoga kids classes once I start practicing yoga myself. I'm a yoga noob. I've never done yoga in a studio with other people. I am generally unhealthy in the sense that I smoke, drink, sleep late, and well, just eat anything. I know yoga can be purist so I've always been intimidated to practice around the people it's labeled to produce. But I believe yoga has a lot of benefits and I definitely will give it a try. The visit to Urban Ashram has kept this desire alive in me and it is the first studio I will probably enroll in when I get my butt out of the Starbucks smoking area. Urban Ashram is clean, and there's a lot of positive energy in its place. The facilities look great, the instructors helpful, and the prices all reasonable after you see the standards of the studio. I spend a lot of time on the website of Urban Ashram too, looking at the different classes and schedules available at the BHS branch. Whenever my daughter is at Active Fun, I also drop by to see the yoga boutique and just pretty much scout the place to make myself more familiar. (I have so many friends who practice yoga and they're all right, so I do believe my apprehensions are misrepresentations from social media.) It looks like I'm getting there and I can't wait to start!

After practicing yoga while working in Paris, shanghai, Hong Kong and Taipei, while I enter YogaHive in front of Salcedo Village, it's really a love at first sight effect that I decide right away to join the membership for the superb attitude of receptionist, passionate yoga teacher and enthusiastic maintenance crew here. "Indulge" is the word I would describe to have my practice but I also feel it could be a ceremony to help me to ease body tension and relax my mind. We are pampered to start each journey with yoga mat and strap prepared thoughtfully from the center. No doubt there are many great studios in Makati but it would be a different experience to join us at YogaHive!

Signed up for the circuit training session and loved how it keeps everything moving--no time to get bored with those quick 30-second switches between stations. The variety is insane: one minute you're doing kettlebell swings, next it's TRX rows, then some bodyweight stuff that actually challenges you. The trainers were super encouraging without being pushy, and the vibe in the group classes is so motivating--everyone's just there grinding together. Finished with a quick Body Balance class to stretch and cool down, and I left feeling energized instead of wiped out. This place really makes fitness fun again. 5 stars, no question--I'll be back regularly now!

I was first introduced to 360 Fitness Club about four years ago when I decided I wanted to lose weight. The journey to slimmer me wasn't easy but being at 360 made it seem less like work because the workout were actually fun. Their circuits change every quarter so I don't get bored doing the same things over and over again. Plus, group classes like suspension training, kettle bell, Body Jam, yoga, and even Zumba make going to the gym a lot less taxing. And who doesn't love options when it comes to their workouts? If you're like me, and want to take your workout a notch higher, I suggest you avail of their personal training service. Depending on your fitness goal (weight loss, toning, etc.), they have a fine number of men and women to help you out. I have my trainer to thank because these days I can lift weights I never thought I could and even climb mountains!

In the session I went to they used music to really set the mood. The facilities and equipment are clean. They have two rooms for yoga and hot room and a not hot room. You can reserve your classes online! All the staff are friendly and really show special attention to make sure your doing your poses right. -For people who think yoga is just for girls or too easy, im 220 pounds, play basketball, boxing, and used to run marathons. - But these yoga poses really challenge you. I mean who knew attending or moving your leg in different places could hurt and make you sweat. - After the first session I already felt more mobile. My hips, ankles, and knees used to be in pain and click a lot from my many basketball injuries. But after the hour long session. I felt like a new man. Stress free after all this studying. Can't wait to go again. Definitely a must if you're studying or inured or both!

There are different types of yoga. Some can make you feel like jello, relaxed and tingly inside,…read moreother types can make you feel like a rubber band that's been stretched out to its capacity. And then there's Bikram Yoga. Doing Bikram Yoga is like being trapped in a hot cauldron longer than you would like. Its 26 poses done in a 105 degree room for 90 minutes. It's not painless, not at all but the spiritual and physical benefits are quite amazing. I first tried this type of yoga in Bikram Alabang. I was a "yoga virgin" completely out of sorts, with limbs so tight doing a head to knee pose was close to impossible. But I had the most amazing teachers: Ginger, Betty, Frank and soon enough I was feeling the positive effects of every class-on and off the mat. I always leave the room quiet and inward, aware that the rest of my day will be different.

Friendly and unpretentious, everyone who works and goes here to practice yoga have found a group that would call themselves family. They hold holiday meet-ups and I know for a fact that those that have been with Bikram Yoga Alabang from the ground up still meet up today and have lunches and dinners and are like the best of friends, which tells me a lot about this place. Clearly you open yourself up to the practice and meditation in every class you go to but you do so as well with the people you are with in the room. Each individual is there for the same purpose although how they got there can all be different. There is no judgement and everyone sits or lays quietly on their mats while waiting for class to start. Bikram Yoga Alabang has several types of classes: The traditional Bikram Yoga (hot room that will definitely get you sweating. Proper breathing is important and trying to stay in the room is recommended and a feat in itself for any yoga buff), Absolute Hot (which I believe is a Vinyasa style class in a heated room), Gentle Flow (a slower paced yoga practice: LOVE THIS if you're easing back into yoga or a newbie), Vinyasa and the specialty classes that pop-up depending on the instructors available (last December, they had ACRO-YOGA an acrobatic style class partnered up with another to increase possible poses). Towel and mat rentals are also possible, costing around Php 50 I think. They also sell coconut water or regular h2o for around 30-65 Php so you can hydrate yourself once youre out! Prices are an estimate. The packages are reasonably priced paying for either unlimited classes for a period of time (1 month, 3months, 6months) or on a packaged per class basis (5 class or 10 class card) that expires after a month, all averaging around 500Php a class. For a place that has their own locker rooms for men and women, that include showers and toilets all cleaned up for use, receptive staff and yogis from around the world visiting to instruct, I recommend this Yoga spot in a heartbeat!I

Luckily, a lot of them have free trial classes, like Circuit 360! Let's just say, I ended up doing more than just the free session! I really enjoyed myself and was excited to come back for more! What I loved most about it was that it wasn't boring or slow. For someone who isn't really athletic, the 30 second intervals helped because I just counted down in my head until the next station. It's also the best because each work out is only 30 minutes! It really doesn't take much from your day (so no excuses!) and it's easy to fit into any schedule. I did lose a few pounds from it and I also toned up a bit. I haven't gone back in a while because life sort of got into the way, but after writing this, I think I just might sign up again!

The main circuit focuses on intense bursts with minimal rest for maximum effect. They change the routine for each station every four months to avoid 'plateauing'. The diversity ensures that each member will push themselves harder than before. They have certified fitness coaches to help you out if ever you get lost. You should check night their resumes, it is packed! They're friendly too! A lot of times they'll just approach you to give you a high five for encouragement. It feels like a community rather than a gym which is good for support. The classes are fun as well! My favorite is the Kettlebell classes since it builds both muscles and endurance. I haven't been here in awhile since it's a bit far from where I live and work but given the chance, I'll enroll here in a heart beat!
