I took my first Yoga Joint class in 2013. I've been to almost all locations and can't emphasize enough how transformative my practice has been. Yoga joint has been a huge part of my healing journey, it's brought me immeasurable peace and solitude over the years in addition to a sense of community in sharing this love with so many others. I'd like to make a special shout out to Alexis at the front desk. He is without a doubt one of the best people to start your day with. His bright personality is exactly who should be greeting you before a 6am class. Lots of love for YJ over 700 classes later! Truly a South Florida fitness staple. read more

Yoga Joint - 500 - Yoga Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Eh, venue is fine, it really depends on the instructors you sign up for. I've experienced micro-aggressions from several of the white female desk attendants when I would be checking in; they would be double or triple checking me while not doing that to anyone else. They also would not appear warm, smiling and inviting, many of them come off cold, apathetic and even psychotic lol. Over time I lost interest in attending that location because of this and the lack of diversity. I'll continue to take my money elsewhere. read more

I love that this yoga studio is minutes away from me. They have free parking with validation ticket and the temperature in the studio is hot as it is supposed to be unlike some other studio I went to. The bathrooms are clean and studio for the most part is clean as well. Only thing is that it has that damp smelly wet towel stench after class and I don't feel the cleaning of the studio in between classes is enough. They should at least maybe spritz some kind of essential oil or aromatherapy scent in between classes. Otherwise the instructors are great. read more

I've been with yoga joint since they were in the congress center off 17th street in 2017, that being said, as they've grown and become more commercial they have lost their touch in being. Community driven. They have no loyalty to tenured patrons and continue to change policies add costs and make it over all difficult to be a member. I've remained loyal and never defaulted, even thru COVID and my last year of cancer battles I never changed my membership because I believe in supporting things you love, but it's now joust a box shop with no personal touch that use to make it worth it. The owners don't even remeber my name anymore (they use to at least pretend they knew who I was) . As for the classes they are great and I love them but it's not as Great as it used to be to be. I wish Paige and Kelly the best in their franchise expansion but I'll be moving on and canceling my membership after 9 years , if you don't care about interaction and an actual true yoga experience definitely try them out read more

Love, love, love this place. Been coming here for many years and I can't say enough good things. I do the hot yoga classes 4-6 times a week! The classes are big, 67 spots, but I love that you can reserve your spot in the app 7 days in advance. The classes fill up quick, especially the popular teachers, but I never have a problem getting in at the last minute on the waitlist. Great playlists, motivational instructors, challenging workouts, & overall it's my happy place! read more

Beware of pre paying with this company. They do not value customer loyalty. They will keep your money!!!! I prepaid for 15 months and then found out I had to move to Tampa. Instead of letting me continue with my prepaid 8 months...they decided to keep all of my money. I have spent thousands there over the years. Still the owners kept my money. YOGA SIX and SUNSTATE in St Pete and Tampa are far more ethical options read more

Really busy environment. However, the yoga is phenomenal. The instructor was fantastic and enthusiastic. You definitely sweat... A LOT! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just not a lot of space in the bathroom area for so many people who go here. read more

Love yoga joint North, I been coming here for a long time, it's feel like home! Love most Teacher, Specially Hayley S, I can't imagine life without yoga, and I recommend yoga joint 100% read more

One of my favorite YJ locations! Most of the teachers and staff are friendly and the studio is clean. Parking upstairs is easy too if you drive there. They offer classes pretty much all day and it's definitely the hottest of the south Florida Yoga Joint locations. read more

Admittedly, I'm not a huge yogi. However, Yoga Joint has an awesome class called FIIT that's perfect if you want to sweat in a hot yoga room in a class with functional movements with body weight, light hand weights and bands. The music is low, the pace is fast, and you will leave 45 minutes later having worked (and sweat!) your butt off. I've taken this class with several instructors, and all are high energy and motivational. I live within walking distance, but if you're driving, you can park in the Dalmar hotel garage and validate your parking ticket inside the yoga studio. read more

Extremely frustrating experience canceling my membership. When I spoke with the manager, Joe, I was informed that I needed to provide a written 30-day notice to cancel. While I understand the standard practice of requiring notice and even written cancellation, the process here is unnecessarily inconvenient. They require you to fill out and sign a form, which is sent as a PDF with no option to sign electronically. This means you either have to print the form and send it back or physically go to the studio to sign it. They do not accept a simple email, which would be far more practical. On top of that, Joe was very unhelpful and borderline rude, insisting that there's a way to sign the form electronically, which clearly, there is not. For people with busy schedules, this process is unnecessarily difficult and feels like a deliberate barrier to canceling. One would also expect that the manager would fully understand how their own tools work before insisting otherwise. This is not how loyal patrons should be treated. I hope Yoga Joint seriously reconsiders this outdated cancellation process and trains their staff to provide more accurate and supportive assistance. read more

This is my gym now and I love it! The sweat is addicting! Thank you Avesta S. For putting me on. I love their yoga classes the instructors are great and walk around correcting poses which I need! They remind you to be patient with yourself and take it step by step. I love that approach. They don't force anything. They encourage blocks and straps and modifications as this is my practice. I always feel so relaxed and at peace after a yoga class. I feel like a learn something new after every class. The instructors are true yogis and are super dedicated to the practice. I love that and they inspire me to do the same. I want to get better and better. The fit classes are tough! A very good total body workout that will leave you wanting more the next day. It's addicting. It's great. Let's not forget about the awesome ladies at the front they are so helpful! If youre late they got you they will set everything up and get you in there as quick as possible. Very accommodating. They offer a wonderful special for half off the first month. The best part--they don't charge you after that so no need to worry about a hassle at the end of the month. It's up to you if you want to continue and most likely you will. read more

Terrible membership cancellation process. I emailed the studio 5 weeks in advance to cancel my membership. The studio acknowledged my email. I went in person to the studio yesterday to confirm I will not be charged September. The manager confirmed my membership cancellation and that August 31st was my last day. Guess what, they still charged me for September. I emailed everyone on Yoga Joint and no replies yet. Terrible communication and terrible experience . Hopefully after this review someone from Yoga Joint will contact me to resolve this. read more

Been waiting almost 6 months to leave this review. I used to work at the downtown location and let me tell you, the staff are getting paid below minimum wage and half ass every part of the cleaning process. I still enjoy taking the classes here because the teachers are great but the managers have genuinely zero idea how to run a business, they're lucky this place is popular. I walked in to take a class a few days ago at the Hollywood location and it actually smelt like someone peed on the floor 3 days ago and it never got cleaned up. Basically what I'm trying to say is ur gonna want to bring ur own mat and towel lmfaoo read more

LOVEEEEE yoga joint!!! The FIITT45 class is my favorite! The instructors are very nice & helpful! At first I had to get acclimated to the heat but after a few classes it's great! read more

The Good...The front desk staff is awesome. The Bad...your first class will be the same as your 500th. Every class is exactly the same. I guarantee you do the same beginner class daily and you'll get the same poor results! The Ugly... The Curves of yoga. read more

Ok... it took me a long time to fall in love because I hated the parking in the garage, but now with less people it's so much easier, even having to wear a mask. Thanks to Vanessa I've literally fallen in love with yoga. It's not a chore to go workout, I look forward to it. I've never like me working out. And slowly I see the progress, I'm stronger and move more easily. I'm so thankful I found her and this studio. read more

Yoga Joint - Yoga Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I am completely new to yoga so my opinion to many yogis may not mean much. I joined class pass which is amazing and this was a studio on the list. The positives: I thought the studio and set up were very nice. Super stylish, love the location in the new hotel Delmar. Many of my friends go here and suggested I take Molly's class. She was wonderful. She took the time to say hi, ask my skill level and keep an eye on me for if I needed help (which I did). Music was upbeat, which I was not expecting. The downfalls: The class was PACKED. But not in a good way!!! They give you about 6 inches on either side. Which makes for a very uncomfortable class that involves stretching and folding. I was up both my neighbors butts, and trying not to kick them the whole time. I wish they would accept maybe 4 or 5 less people to allow for at least one less mat per row which would give us more breathing room. Regardless I will probably go back. I figured an 8:30am mid week class was safe. Apparently not. Might try a mid day and see if it's any less crowded. read more

Upon arrival, the front desk staff was very informative and polite. After signing a waiver, I was shown the towel and locker areas to stow away my personal effects and shown to the yoga studio. The room was extremely hot, humid and dark. What a great way to practice yoga! The instructors voice was soothing, as she lead us through each of the poses. Once in final savasana, I was drenched in sweat. This was my very first hot yoga experience. I am grateful for this experience and will definitely revisit the studio. read more

Over the years I've been in/out various workout regimens (crossfit/orange theory, etc) and I can say WHO your teacher/coach truly makes the experience. In 2020 I walked into Vanessa Mota's FIT class and I knew she was unlike any other teacher I've ever had. Anyone who's taken her class will tell you she's different. I was never a yogi, it never clicked for me and honestly I found it boring and I didn't "get it", but she encouraged me to take her yoga class and that sealed the deal for me. That's when I ditched class pass and became a YJ member. There's other great teachers at YJ, but Vanessa deserves so much recognition. She gives so much of herself to every class; changing the flows and play lists to keep it fresh. You can feel her authenticity and genuine connection to her students. You don't find someone like Vanessa often in this lifetime, someone who loves what they do and is good at it; someone who feels like magic. read more

Let me start by saying that the teachers are amazing. I used to be a member at the old Yoga Joint South on 17th Street, and while the studio was not as fancy as this new location at the Dalmar, it definitely made sense design wise. I took off two stars because I am a spoiled brat, and I moved from NYC because I hated crowds and lack of parking - so my first gripe is with the parking - floors 2 and 3 of the parking garage are reserved for Yoga Joint members. However, there aren't enough parking spaces, so you have to go to the valet floor, which can get dicey, if the hotel has an event going on. My second gripe is that the rooms are smallish, so at some point you are going to be sharing morning breath with your neighbor without them first buying you a drink the night before. My third and final gripe is the bathrooms...yeah great you have showers and toilets, but no place to change, so if you are coming from work or trying to get dressed to go to work...well, good luck with that. Notwithstanding the above bitching a moaning, classes are great with the caveat that it all depends on the teacher (Jeff has always understood athletic performance). It is a convenient location, at least for me, and the price is right...I still miss the old place and its cubbyholes and changing area and easiness of parking. I suppose for the price and the quality of the teachers, which is fantastic, I can live with my dislikes until I don't. read more

Yoga Joint - Amazing retail boutique at the studio on 17th Street! - Yoga Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I use to go to the yoga joint but it has become to crowded plus I began getting sick a lot 1 to 2 days after doing a class. In the beginning, I didn't even notice but after getting sick 3 times with a gastro and colds within 2 months I found it strange that it was happening a day or two after I did yoga. I then bought my own equipment and wipes to lessen my chances of getting ill. I did well for about 2 weeks and came down with another terrible respiratory illness 2 days after a FiTT Class. My doctor recommended finding a less crowded and cleaner yoga place. The issue I see is yoga joint is trying to pack people in and classes, one right after another and there is no time for cleaning up. The classes are way to packed and I literally was 6 inches from other people, when doing jumping jacks I get sprayed with sweat from all around me, just not a healthy environment. They should cap the classes and do a thorough cleaning after every class. As for anything else, I loved the classes and instructors but just couldn't handled the crowds, illness and stepping in everyone's sweat upon leaving the classes. read more

I've been wanting to visit the new downtown Yoga Joint located in the beautiful Dal Mar hotel. Most of the locations follow the same look/feel. The class was great and my favorite thing about FIIT 45 is how quickly it goes by. Can't wait to go back for another class! read more

I've been going to the joint for years and have found my forever home with them. Every single teacher has something to offer and the balance between yoga and fiit is the best! Would love to see more night classes available but I understand that Covid has taken its toll on every business, not just the joint. Go here, learn here, practice here, and love here. Best yoga place ever read more

I absolutely love the yoga joint from day 1.... going over 365 days now. Highly recommended, commit, challenge and change!

I took my first class at YJ South last night. It was a 75 min fusion flow class taught by Nikki. I could smell the studio before I could see it. When walking up to the third floor of the building I was greeted with this amazing smell of sandalwood maybe? Something earthy and delicious. The studio was just as beautiful as it smelled! They have a huge store with a great collection of Yoga brands- clothes, books, oils, snacks, accessories, anything you could want. The man working the front desk was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There is a small waiting area but a very large locker room in the back. There are separate male and female locker rooms each outfitted with lockers, showers, bathrooms and changing spaces. The practice room is just as beautiful as the rest of the studio. Huge room with mirrors on most of the wall. It was nice you had the option to be in front of the mirror or not. One wall is all glass so you get a little view outside. I didn't need many props for this class, but the studio seemed to have blocks, straps, mats, the usual. Class was exactly what I needed for a Friday night. The pacing was awesome, not too fast but not so slow that your body feels heavy and shaky. Nikki had and AWESOME playlist but I will say it was super loud. Normally I love loud music while flowing but I did have a hard time hearing her during class. This was the only class I took at YJ but it seems like they have a wide variety of classes and workshops happening all the time. Everything is clearly listed on a big schedule posted in the studio. I don't live in the area but would definitely come back on a future trip. read more

Great class with Maria!! I love her change up or just minor tweaks to the flow. That sounds simple but really has an impact. YJ does not disappoint. Have the best class times in the area. read more

I would give this place 0 if available. Promoting peaceful and healthy behavior as a front and creating fraudulent activity on the side. Canceled my account over 10 months ago when I had my baby to be shocked when they started charging me for an unlimited month in December. Manager said she would "look" into it and return money in January to be shocked again with a charge in February! Worst customer service! Very unprofessional! Fraud, fraud, fraud! Charging for services that have not been requested or rendered! read more

Amazing studio. Free parking and Jeffrey is an amazing instructor. Can't wait to go back to another one of his classes.

Best hot vinyasa flow classes in Fort Lauderdale! The hot studio is warm and due to its popularity, it gets the larger classes! All of the instructors are very well trained and the music is usually great! Go to the Yoga Joint South or in Davie if west of I 95. read more

Was threatened to be called on security guard for parking into the garage when the parking lot was full. Made me feel very uncomfortable and threatened. Very disappointed read more

Never did Yoga until I took my first class here while training for my half marathon. Absolutely love it and it really helped with my shoulder injury. Great studio and amazing instructors. Absolutely love the Yoga Fitt classes. Definitely addicted now! read more

Extremely disappointed in this place. I'm a ClassPass goer and I decided to book this place in hopes of a membership. When you book on the class pass app you can adjust your spot in their specific yoga joint app. When I checked in they asked if I knew my spot and I happily said yes, it was so nice I was able to change it too. From then on I was questioned why did I do that (as if it's this massive issue lol), dirty looks from owner specifically, and very dismissive after. They had the nerve to reach out to class pass after and tell me that's not allowed? Lol, honey it's not illegal but I'll make sure to never come back to your studio again. Every other studio I've been to in class pass has loved the fact that they didn't have to adjust spots for me. Basically lol One less thing for them- it's honestly effective you should try it.. maybe you'd have more business. :) I've had class pass for years and never was treated like this. read more

This is an excellent welcoming class for beginners. I myself started my yogi journey at LA Fitness 2 years ago. Up until now I thought I had been getting the most out of my hour of meditation, but let me tell you: I WAS WRONG. The cleanse happens spiritually, mentally, and physically in the hot rooms. It is an excellent place to be and I cannot wait for my next class. read more

What to say? I went here a lot from April 2014 to my last visit September 1 2014. I tried this studio because it was close to my house and I was intrigued by American "hot vinyasa yoga" after having tried American vinyasa (not hot) at Bombay Yoga room. The hot made it feel as though you were getting a better workout than in a non heated room. The reality is you have to be able to work hard in the heat or there is no benefit over a non heated class. The hot room it must be said is foul. It's cleaned once a day and the sweat from earlier classes is allowed to sit on the laminate floor and soak into the adhesive causing a memorable smell. The classes taught by women are primarily designed for women. You will hear things said like "you hold all of your stress in your hips" and the classes are light on upper body strength, core strength, leg strength and heavy on flexibility and balance They have instituted a gorilla marketing campaign where they'll have your car towed unless unless you display a YJ sticker. One of the desk girls told me YJ owners makes them call the towing company when they see cars without a YJ sticker, cute right? They made up a parking issue just to get their stickers on peoples cars. My teacher evaluations: Jessica Steinlauf I generally enjoyed her class but she's second grade teacher in Sunrise in real life and you do get the feeling that her interaction with people as teacher is limited to children. She does seem to care about what she's doing genuinely Danielle Petrie, very pretty girl obsessed with schlocky 80s music expect a lot of Christopher Cross in her class and she's a mommy so as her student expect to be treated like a child. Don't question don't inquire, don't interact it is not tolerated The class is all about her Kelly Green, wacking big green blob dragon tattoo on her, really off putting cant imagine what on earth possessed her. She channels Oprah Winfrey so expect sage advice and an imperious attitude in her class. The class is all about her Erika Lima, I like her but they don't so she only teaches one class. My only guess is since she's about 10 years older than the ladies so I can only guess she's like looking in a mirror of their future selves (Paige, Kelly and Danielle) and they don't like what they see ...so try and find her class its buried 8am on a Sunday Pam Butler her class literally made me nervous as she exudes being on the edge of panic..not a fun class. I needed a Xanax afterwards Tamara Kenigsberg nice girl the only teacher to ever ask me my name of if I had any physical limitations. I do and did and she always said hello to me. I didn't much like her class she's just not in good shape and her class reflect that but very nice girl Andrea Scarborough strange woman reminded me of a gym teacher from grammar school very very creepy. Took one class with her and avoided her there on out Roberto Candelario very good teacher very good class challenging and different each time and the only instructor where it's not all about the instructor. He needs to get out of that place. Kym Klien another wacking big blob dragon tattoo ...very weird. Took her class once and she did engage with the students which is unusual here Nikki Holtzheuser very young very pretty and by far in the best shape of the ladies..likely due to her age guessing around 26. So her Friday afternoon class could and may very well be prerecorded...its exactly the same each time I took her class down to the "spontaneous" jokes eg: "that's why they call it the awkward pose people" Another one all about her...perhaps a pattern or example of leadership? Paige Held very pretty girl with 4 kids and a doctor husband. Life has been very very good to her after having won the genetic lottery. She's the boss and you listen or get out..another mommy supervisor. I made the mistake of taking her class and doing push ups during vinaysa which annoyed her so she confronted me verbally in front of her class and told me push ups were a liability to Yoga Joint and then told me about how she was the owner, her husband was a doctor and she has 4 kids...nice life I wish you well Paige So if you like drama, being treated like a child, with no personal attention unless you're willing to pay for it (seminars are extra $$ where they teach, classes you follow along and keep quiet) or are young and pretty (boy or girl) then by all means the Yoga Joint is for you. If you want to experience traditional yoga you can do for a lifetime go to the Yoga Warehouse or Mark Roberts class in Holiday Park. Just too too much $0.02 weird place avoid read more

This new studio is beautiful. Classes are a manageable size so there's no fighting for floor space and the design of the rooms as a whole are lovely. Large mirror in the front and glass floor length windows to the side which looks over Ft. Lauderdale. It's very calming with all the palm trees swaying. Each instructor is different and they each bring their own spin to the class which is nice. Pass options available and they have a super nice and CLEAN bathroom with showers. It's a really nice studio with a nice group if employees. Very much enjoy it. read more

PS THEY ARE RECORDING YOU! Great studio except they don't disclose they are recording you. They are selling them to a streaming service. Where people can replay or stream live you working out for 20 dollars a month. They don't tell you which classes are being recorded. By the way your paying 90 to 120 dollars while they pay 20 if you have the unlimited packages. If you want no privacy please choose this studio. This is only in the South studio however they won't disclose which classes which is in my opinion shady and creepy. They did post on there social media about it however it was more them selling the service then them even notifying you a little bit that you are being recorded. However they did not disclose what studios are involved and they also have been doing it prior for 2 weeks without any notification. (picture of there social media post below also proof that its been up for longer below.) You may also play back some of the classes as well as watching live. Which is beyond creepy (at least to me). They started on February 7th they didn't disclose to there social media until February 28th (which wasn't even really disclosing anything.) We live in a time where there are bad creepy people out there and the fact they don't tell you you are being recorded is messed up. I would find a different yoga studio. I believe if they r recording they should let you know clearly just in case there paying loyal customers aren't okay with it. (Also if they do choose to record in the North I could not personally confidently say that they would notify you as they didn't when they did this in the South Studio) (They won't make a list of classes that are being recorded, won't put a sign on the door when recording, or have the instructor or someone tell the class that they are recording them. The only thing they have is snuck in the wavier you sign when you join) It would be much more acceptable if they made a schedule and were like these classes are being recorded but instead they just refer you to the wavier you signed and refuse to do so. (also waiver is in pictures below but its still not disclosing clearly that you may be on there streaming service) I personally loved this studio I went to classes almost everyday and participated in there workshop. However I believe that by them not disclosing this its shady and not respecting there customers and for that reason I'm out. If they choose to be more open and communicate about what they are doing then definitely join its amazing! However if they continue to not do so just know you may end up on there streaming service. (Also they claim viewers can't see your face but you totally can at times.) Just wanted to let people know. (you can see for your self on the streaming website in which they are uploaded to: https://www.6by3studio.com/classes ) Have a nice day/night. (Also other good studios I have found are; Aura (Boca), Awaken hot yoga (pompano), yoga connection (Davie), The Barkan Method of Hot Yoga (Fort Lauderdale)) read more

Ive been going to the Yoga Joint South for a few years now. Before the Yoga Joint I was at Brickell Hot Yoga in Miami. When I moved to Fort Lauderdale I was concerned I would never find a replacement for my yoga studio. The first few classes I took may have been off to a bad start. I primarily attend evening classes, and the old evening instructors just werent doing it for me. I started to sprinkle in a few morning weekend classes. That kinda stopped after one of the studio owners publicly shamed me for refilling my water bottle during class. I completely agree that it can be a distraction, however when a class is packed mat to mat with 40+ people in a heated room, it gets really humid and hard to breathe. Publicly shaming me wasnt right. I let my less than stellar experiences go when Molly and Karen started teaching in the evenings. They both are AWESOME. Molly's class is pretty up beat. Fun, hip, new music. Lots of pushups, and inversions (which arent my thing but still cool to admire). Karen's class is more dimly lit and zen. She walks around a lot and adjusts students as needed (which i LOVE). She'll give good instructions on how to get into arm balances. She likes to throw in a lot of core and boat pose - something I dont see as often with other teachers. Both teachers are very spiritual, and talk from the heart. Regarding the guy's negative comment below, personally naming all the instructors and what he believes is their flaws is stupid. He cares what tattoos they have? They arent meant for him! Also, Tamara is NOT fat! Ive taken her class plenty of times, and she's awesome. I havent been to any of their workshops yet, and im definitely looking forward to attending one in the future. I highly recommend to stop into the yoga joint regardless if you're a local or just passing through! read more
