I'm so glad I found this studio on ClassPass! I've been trying to broadening my horizons and branch out to new studios to try barre and Pilates since I've never done either of them. I scheduled myself a class the night before and I got there extra early (10-15 mins) in case I had to fill out paper work. But in fact, all I had to do was sign in. When I first arrived, I was greeted by the nicest receptionist! I didn't catch her name, but she was so friendly and made me feel really comfortable for my first class. I didn't bring anything in with me as I didn't know what to expect; she said the class will use yoga mats and although they do have some we could borrow, I may want to use my own (luckily I keep a yoga mat in my car)! Since I was so early, she gave me a quick tour and even invited me to their Saturday event for their location's 1 year anniversary! She took me to wait in the barre room and although she mentioned she had never taken this particular class herself, she was helpful in letting me know what instruments I needed to grab from the back wall to get ready! I can't say how the class compares to other Barre classes as this is my first, but the moves really work on your glutes and legs. It was amazingly motivational since Monique, the instructor, knew the reason why we were all there (to get that beach booty!) Any time someone complained that it was difficult or they felt horrible/exhausted, Monique would be encouraging and say "but it's fabulously exhausting!" It made me work harder in class because it really was a fun workout! After class, the receptionist caught me on the way out and invited me back for a free Pilates class next week! They're having a promo and since my first time wasn't technically free (through ClassPass), she helped book me and now I get to try Pilates for the first time at this wonderful location! Crazy that this place wasn't on Yelp already!! read more
