This review is based solely on the birthday party we had here for our 5 year old daughter. This…read moreplace came recommended from a friend and I am so thankful for their recommendation! This party couldn't have been more stress free for me as a mom. The reservation was seamless and everything was setup for me when we arrived (table cloth, plates, napkins) in the party room. Carly was our party host and she was very nice and controlled the kids well. The kids played in the little gym for about an hour and then moved up to the party room for cake and presents. The kids had an absolute blast! I even had a parent book a party for her own daughter shortly after our party because it was such a great experience.

If this is your first time to consider Integrity, note the different levels of commitment:…read morecompetitive (I want to be in the Olympics), non-competitive (I still want to be very very good) and what I'll call recreational (babysitting with foam mats.) I have friends whose children have been at Integrity for a long time with competitive coaching and they love it. We took the rec approach and had a miserable experience. After many weeks and months and dollars, my kids still can't do cartwheels. Even after bumping up to non-compete. We started at Integrity in a low-level class that was only 40 minutes long, taught by a high school student. She wasn't particularly good with children and eventually I complained that my girls (9 and 11 then) weren't getting the instruction I hoped for. So we moved up - waaay up, from paying $30/month each to $30/class. Several months later, my girls are once again frustrated that they are "behind." When they can't keep up with their peers, the "coach" will quickly give them a modification (cop-out) to get them out of the way. For instance, instead of doing a roundoff off the end of the beam, they'll be told to just jump off the beam. They will never be able to learn how to do these things if they don't receive instruction. I wanted them to have basic gymnastics skills, but suspect we will have to seek coaching elsewhere.

5 star rating doesnt measure the program accurately, because it is so much more and beyond…read more The studio feels like a mom/pop boutique studio because the Director knows each and every child. Her oldest daughter , also a dance student, as Big Sister for all the younger dancers, she welcomes younger kids to class and assists. The teachers are very talented and holds a bottomless bucket of patience (: The students are truly like no other. If you become a new student, they will pretty soon know not only your kid's names but also their siblings too. The BDE (big dancer energy) is infectious! If your child is socially reserved , you ll notice their gaurd will drop down. There is no Us vs Them, or I , for that matter. It is simply "We" You'll come for Dance classes, but You will stay because of the instillation of *Self-Confidence ,*Body Positivity and *Inclusivity.

Miss Maggie and her instructors always encourage the kids to try their best with learning and executing dance technique. However, the main goal at Encore is very clear.

If you're looking for a barre studio, or you've done yoga/pilates and you're looking for a fun but serious workout studio, this studio should definitely be on your list. Instructors I would recommend to be sure you have a great experience are Lauren, Morgan, and Erin. From the first day I came, they knew my name and gave personalized feedback on how to do better. That said, I rated a bit lower than I normally would because there have been a few very negative experiences here that made me not want to go back. It was mainly just being unnecessarily rude? Which is out of character because the primary things I love about my favorite instructors here is how attentive, encouraging, and detail-oriented they are. If you want examples of the negative experiences I've had, I won't be exhaustive but one example is when I brought a friend to class. Whoever was manning the front desk completely ignored us, and when I asked which room class was in that day, she corrected me on which instructor's class it was without answering the question. My friend felt really unwelcome and I felt terrible that it was her first experience with barre.

Maybe it's the membership options which in my opinion were very confusing to understand however, it is to be noted your first class is complimentary and I did not feel rushed or talked into a membership at the end. Also, this studio is part of Class Pass so, you can experience this energetic, engaging, challenging cardio workout with Class Pass Credits. My instructor Cal was upbeat and very knowledgeable with incredible skill in dance as well as a loud, carrying voice for conveying the moves well. He broke down the class in easy to understand sections and offered variations as well as, didn't judge when I had to take breathers since my cardio endurance isn't the best. The class I chose as my first free class was a class labeled straight "DANCE" on the schedule, opposed to dance and bands and circuit classes. I liked the format of this class because it was cardio heavy with 3-4 longer dance bursts to learn choreography that was compiled together at the end to learn a proper combo. The in-between sections consisted of strength training and stretching exercises that Cal taught to the class in his awesome peppy demeanor! He kept us all active and engaged all class. I found this class a great deal challenging and definitely would go back with my class pass and try it again.

I always feel like I can find a time to workout every day. The classes range from equipment pilates (on the reformer) to barre, TRX and mat pilates.

I've been rocking my Mark Blanchard yoga dvds for prob about a year now, and when I found out I was…read moreheading to Overland Park for training, I jumped at the chance to try some classes here. First off, I have never taken an actual yoga class in my life. I way prefer the privacy of my own home, where I can wear my old sweats, stop and go as I please, and most importantly, there's no one there to laugh when I fall and make a huge ass out of myself ;) Anyways, I will totally admit that I have always been crazy intimidated when it comes to just walking into a yoga studio. I can never figure out what level class is best for me, I don't want to irritate anyone and be in the way of the pros, and I prefer to just disappear into the background when a move is beyond me - and def not be called out in front of everyone. Anyways, at this studio the classes are for all levels - so there was no need to play a guessing game trying to figure out which one would work for me. And Gretchen...man, she was cool. I felt totally comfortable w/ her - in fact, I told her right off the bat that I was worried my scoliosis was screwing w/ some of my poses. She even made sure during class to point out the poses that would be most affected by it, and made the necessary adjustments. During one of the classes I even had the opportunity to do some partner work, and with Gretchen's help tried some poses - like a handstand - that I doubt I would just try w/ anyone else. In the end, I got exactly what I came here for. I didn't need to worry about bringing a suitcase filled w/ props - I just came right from my hotel, grabbed a mat, and was ready to go. Everyone in the class was welcoming - I didn't feel like I was stepping on anyone's toes, and I truly felt all levels were welcome. I learned new things and gained the confidence that I was on the right path in terms of my practice - and I appreciated the positive feedback and adjustments Gretchen made to my poses. I was able to pick up a few tips and after being home for just a week, I've learned that a few minor adjustments can make a world of difference. So...I have a feeling that for the time being I'll still be a stay-at-home yogi, but next time I'm in the neighborhood I will definitely be back.
