I've had a chance to take a class instructed by Ritzy, Dani, Bao, Mary, and Laura. These ladies are…read moreAMAZING! I get much of my exercise in my home gym and outside when it's nice, but MN winters are not nice. It's hell out there. If you feel the same, you should checkout this place. I was browsing Groupon fitness deals and found Shape Me Group Fitness and went on their site to find out what classes they offer. There's a good variety from Zumba, Turbo Kick, Latin Hip Hop, Mat Pilates, Yoga etc. I went through with my purchase. I was nervous my first time, I went with a Zumba class. All of the instructors are really nice and don't make you feel like a beginner. They make it a point to let you know that no one cares what you look like doing it as long as you're doing it correctly and not injuring yourself. They want to make sure you're getting a good workout, and you're having fun. Which was great because I totally thought I had the moves down, then looked at myself in the mirror and I'm pretty sure I was just running in place and flailing my arms around. It doesn't matter though because everyone else is too busy keeping up, they're not watching you. The classes are always filled with a decent amount of people. You always have room, but you're never looking around like "dang I'm the only person in the mirror." The studio is a good size and you have clear views of the instructor. It's very clean, and there are bins for your personal belongings. My favorite classes so far have been Zumba in the Circuit with Ritzy. It's one minute of Zumba and one minute of machine for 50 minutes. Good stuff. Ritzy is super energetic and motivating, take one of her classes! Turbo Kick with Bao it really good too. I've learned I need to practice kicking higher. I'd never win in a kick off. Dani also works you hard in Zumba, but you feel great about your workout afterwards. All in all you won't be disappointed with any of the instructors here! P.S. For my male friends, there are men there too. Don't be shy!

I've tried a few other exercise places around town, including CorePower and the Midway Y, but Shape…read moreMe is my favorite. It's "homemade" in a good way. Rather than being part of a chain, it's a family business, with owner Ritzy teaching many of the classes. If you have a question or a suggestion, she is always available to talk. The instructors always invite you to talk with them after class. The instructors really set the tone for relations among the customers. Their kindness and equal treatment of all means that there's no snobby competition among the students. I've seen everyone from slim, toned model types to plenty of chunky gals like me to people who are badly out of shape and only able to participate for a few minutes at a time. There is a lot of ethnic diversity, too. The studio is clean and comfortable, the cost is reasonable, and there is ample parking. The only downside is that there is not a dressing room, although there is a bathroom where you can change if you need to.

The water play area is perfect for little ones -- warm, safe, and sized just right. The staff has always been friendly, and the atmosphere feels welcoming for families with young kids who are still getting comfortable in the water. The only thing holding this back from a five-star experience is the family area bathrooms. They aren't dirty, but they definitely need more frequent cleaning and restocking during busy toddler swim hours. With so many young families coming through, a little more attention there would make a big difference in comfort and overall impression. Still a solid place to bring the little ones for a fun swim -- just hoping the bathroom upkeep improves to match the rest of the experience. Price is okay for someone that only comes occasionally - but it's a good resource to have if you're local - Try them out!

"I can do this, I'll have a butt you can bounce quarters off of and be able to eat unlimited KitKats". I highly recommend getting there early so you can pick your favorite bike and warm up. This facility does not have showers, but does have changing rooms and bathrooms, and a water bottle refill station. If you want cycling shoes you have to bring your own or rent them. Staff are super helpful getting you set up on a bike. The studio provides towels and ear plugs in case the music is too loud (and sometimes for an old lady like me, it is). If you are not an experienced cyclist, I recommend picking up a pair of padded bottoms, or your lady parts will hurt FOR DAYS post the first few classes. I also recommend checking out the various instructors as they all have different styles. I will say, Surge's classes seem heavier on the choreography angle than other studios I have been to in the past. The only other thing would be nice if there was some other way to update the targeted gear and RPM level, as it's sometimes difficult to hear. This is how the class works: Minutes 1-5: oh, this is easy! Model butt, here I come! Minutes 6-8: uh oh Minutes 8 - 15: this is getting intense Minutes 16-30: Dear God, what have I done? Minutes 31 - 40: don't puke, don't puke Minutes 41- 45: sweet relief is almost here And just like having a baby, you forget all about all the pain and only remember the amazing, exhilarating moments and cardio high post class and do it all again a few days later. 10/10 would recommend to everyone

I recently tried the cardio dance class and it was a lot of fun. The Yoga CircHIIT classes are my personal favorite. It's a yoga and HIIT style class in one and the instructor's are great.

I don't mind parking on the street since there's usually quite a bit of availability, but they also have a parking lot that is free upon validation inside. They are also in ClassPass!

It is great for those who are self cónicos while running. It is super clean, most of the times; generally late night it isn't but that is understandable. Most of the staff is super friendly and approachable, which is great for questions and other items that one might be curious about. They also have a changing room for times that you come in after work or before work. They also have a tanning room that isn't used too often. The best thing for me is the TV s that allow you to tune in with a radio frequency I pod or device. They have a ton of fans and wipes. And also it is on the route for the 62 and 262. Also, their facility is rather big which is awesome! I truly love being a part of this place because it is open whenever you want it to be. 24/7.

This studio sits on a corner lot on the second floor in downtown Wayzata overlooking Lake Minnetonka. The staff here are always welcoming and the instructors are top-notch. My favorite will always be Rachel T. (one of the owners). Class size is small so you really feel like you get that extra attention you sometimes need. I always leave here feeling like I had a great workout and really worked hard. This studio offers a variety of classes throughout the day. If I was in closer proximity I'd come more often. Classes are pricey though and it's expensive to be a member here. All kinds of packages are available but a 3-6 month pass ranges from $300-500. I love this studio but not sure it's worth these prices to me.
