I started coming to Lion & Luxe back in March of 2021. I'd previously worked with one of their…read moretrainers, and I was hoping to continue with someone who knew me. I wasn't sure what to expect at first since I've only ever been to the big corporate gyms. My experience from the get-go was nothing but positive. The team here works with you from an all-around wellness approach. Two weeks after signing up, I ended up getting sick and felt derailed. But the kindness and care package that arrived in my mailbox from the team here was encouraging and immediately set the tone for the relationship I have with this gym. In the three months of working with Evan at L&L, I have made more progress than in all of the months no wait, years, of training elsewhere. Why? Well I think it comes down to the personalized, total-wellness approach. I like that you have an app that keeps you connected to your trainer and links with MyFitnessPal. This added layer of accountability has been great for me. I've logged into MFP for 100 straight days - more than ever before. And it is an encouragement when Katie sends you a message for sticking with tracking food. Speaking of which, I appreciate the approach of focusing on macros instead of just calories. This has helped me tremendously as I've been working on strength. I have started looking at food more as fuel for the body. Don't get me wrong, I still like to eat... but at least now I have a greater awareness of what is going to work for me. I have a customized program that is tailored to me. For as much as we work on getting stronger, there is significant time spent on pre-habbing and focusing on recovery. It's amazing what rest, lacrosse balls and foam rolling can do to improve movement. I haven't lost a whole lot of weight yet, but that goal has been set on the back burner as I realize how weight alone is not a great measure of wellness. There are multiple other measure of improvement, and I'm seeing those. You'll get out of it what you put in, but it seems easier to put in the effort when you have a supportive group of well-educated people rooting for you. I highly recommend at least checking Lion & Luxe out. They offer yoga and massage in addition to personal training. The atmosphere is relaxed and familiar, and VERY supportive. Maybe I'll see you there soon!

Each class was different, both were challenging, and I like how I feel at the end of each session. I also like how the instructor gets into your head, knows what you might be thinking and has a mantra or story to help you get out of it. Philosophically, I feel like this place fits me and where I am mentally when I practice. I highly recommend signing up online for classes and/or investing in a pass (which I haven't done yet). I have been doing the drop-in thing and the room can be packed - in fact both of the classes I've attended so far have been packed with up to 40 people in the room, 10 mats to a row, which can be challenging if you are not familiar with yoga and/or fit enough to do your poses without risking losing your balance. However, the community of folks who attend all seem very friendly and forgiving! I also really appreciate the instructors providing verbal prompts for further challenge yourself or for easing off/modifying the pose as needed. Something you sometimes feel is missing in other studios where a one-size-fits-all approach is delivered. I definitely recommend giving them a visit, especially as a comparison to some of the other studios around town. My only lament is that I wish they were closer to downtown Rochester....mainly because of the winter weather and the fact that a round trip for me means a 2.5-3 hour investment of time....but for now I am managing it!

It is evident that the instructors care deeply about their mission.

I highly recommend this studio to anyone in the Webster and nearby areas.

Chiropractor, massage therapist, mental health counselors, nutrition experts and yoga. I went to the Tuesday night yoga class run by Joanna and it was wonderful! This hatha yoga class focused on relaxation. It was a 90 minute candle lit yoga session filled with light stretching, mindfulness and guided meditation. She even has tea for her Yogi's. The best part is the cost- only $5.00! She also teaches a more fitness based yoga class every Sunday morning at 9am for the same price. If you want to be a frequent yogi, you can get a 4 class pass for $20.00. I purchased the 4 class pass because I was so impressed with it. I can't wait to try the Sunday class. Here's a little tip, it's cash only so make sure you bring it with you. Also, you do not have to bring your own equipment- the studio has everything you will need but you're welcome to bring your own if you like.

It's hard to have a favorite class or instructor at VAULT because all of them are fun, friendly, and provide you with the best workout possible. I always look forward to my chilled eucalyptus towel after class - a small but brilliant touch that really elevates your overall experience. I also enjoy that I get two guest passes per month with my unlimited membership, it allows me to occasionally bring my friends without them having to pay - I'm pretty sure that they are the only class-based gym that does this. I can't recommend this place enough - if you're bored with your workout routine and want to join a community of positive, uplifting people, then VAULT is for you!

I really like RuckHouse…read more If you're looking for a full body workout (and really, we all should be), head over for a class. It's a circuit training/HIIT style workout, where you roll around the studio and run through a series of different exercises designed to get your whole body moving and sweating and just in better overall shape. There's some work on machines (ski, treadmill, bike, etc.), weights, bodyweight exercises, and more. If you've ever done F45 or something similar, it's not far off, but it's a cool local shop with personable coaches in a clean environment with surprisingly nice facilities and even products in the bathroom for when you're through. Everyone we spoke with from the front desk to the trainers leading the session to the other folks working out seemed cool, and we'll definitely be back when we're in town. Like most workouts (and many other things in life), you get out what you put in. Meaning, if you come in ready to see what your body can do, you'll get a great sweat on. They have a shirt for sale that says, "But did you die?" And I like that. Bring your own towel.

The training facility is always clean, organized, and well maintained. There's a lounge area, shake bar, and locker room as well.

Every person that walks through that door I consider family even if I haven't met them yet. This place draws the best members and staff.

Workouts tend to be the last item on the totem pole. However, when days are too long, this is where Inward Office comes in to help with your wellness on a hectic day. I have been taking yoga at work through Inward Office for the past few months and I'm absolutely smitten. We have a few classes available, including Zumba, but yoga is the most popular and my favorite method of de-stressing during the day. Inward Office works by bringing exercise to you at your workplace. There are a variety of teachers available and scheduling is flexible, so as long as you have the space to practice. No need to worry about mats, the teachers bring the mats to you if you don't have your own or don't have several on hand. Jen is my current teacher, and her lunch hour class helps me break up the workday and feel well rested for the hectic afternoons. Her classes are inventive and creative, and challenge me in ways I didn't know I wanted to be challenged. I've also had classes taught by Bani, and her class was wonderful and mindful, complete with essential oils at the end. (Every teacher should do this, but that's just me!) Having yoga at work gives me a built in opportunity to stretch out and correct my constant computer-induced slumping posture. I'm not a particularly skilled yogi, but having class at work makes it easier to get to said class. If you have the opportunity to bring Inward Office to your office, give it a try! It's much better than "Nama-staying" at your desk.
