I was visiting the area on business.

Worked out one afternoon and the next morning. Facility is clean and everything seemed to be in good working order. It wasn't busy when I went but they were not "typical popular" times (before/after work on on a weekend). Plenty of parking. Convenient location.

Really disappointed with my interaction with Mike. Had a scheduled appointment to meet with him…read morewith intentions of joining the gym. Arrived a few minutes early, but Mike was rude and said he was still training a client (he picked the time for me to come). I sat for 20 mins while he continued to train. I would have been much more understanding if maybe he said take a look around, apologized for running late, but none of that occurred. I absolutely left feeling unwelcomed and he clearly did not need my business. My sister rescheduled and met with him 2 days later, I was unable to attend. She left with the feeling of not feeling welcomed and not in good enough shape. Coastline is opening soon, so we will be joining there instead.

I dropped into the Niantic Yoga Studio for the first time this morning as a birthday treat. They…read moredon't seem to have parking so you have to park on the street (1 hour parking, was a bit worried I may get towed as the class is an hour long and I was there a bit early) which was easy enough on a Monday morning at 8:45am before the 9am class started, but I imagine it's tougher to find parking space later in the day and on weekends. The energy in the studio was fantastic. It's one large room with lovely wood floors that they've separated into a front desk and lounge area and the practice space in the back. Personal belongings can be stored up front in a cubby sort of setup while class is in progress. I assume they lock the door during class, and like that the area where our things are kept are in view from the space we flow in. The practice space was kept at a low level of light, which I enjoy. It was not a hot yoga class, I don't believe those are offered at this studio. Another yogi asked for the AC to be turned up before practice started which the studio obliged; they seem very accommodating. There's a big shelf full of blocks, bolsters, and whatever other sort of props you could hope to have available. The practice area is spacious and folks are respectful and give each other plenty of space even in a busy class like the one I joined. The class was taught by a yogi named Julia, it was a vinyasa practice which I quite enjoyed. She was kind enough to ask before practice began if anyone had any special requests. There weren't any, so she lead us through a well-balanced practice (I would've loved more back bending/heart openers, but I know that's not everyone's thing). I'm more advanced in my practice and she offered loads of modifications that suited my preferences. Her voice was soothing and I liked the, "I am present. I am complete," affirmation that she paired along with the in breaths and out breaths. A cute, chill little studio in a nice spot. It seems like they have a nice variety of class offerings based on their online schedule. I'll definitely be going back!

I can't believe that when a community event is happening the Niantic Light Parade. This place…read morethinks it is acceptable to tell people they can park near there business. I was told that because I'm not a member I would have to move my car and not in a very nice way. I called the owner Debbie who thinks this is an acceptable way to handle business. This is a town event many people come to support the parade and as a community business that is near the parade route one you hope that they would want people to park next to them. Hey free advertising but after dealing with the people there I would never set foot into or even recommend them to anyone.
