AYAH is more than a yoga studio, Kim has created a community. I often joke that the studio is my home away from home. The AYAH studio is a beautiful, serene space; the minute you walk in you can feel the love and caring that Kim has put into it. AYAH offers classes for all levels of yogis; whether you're just starting out or have been practicing for years there is a class for you. In addition to yoga classes, Kim offers a wide variety of workshops to enhance your spiritual growth and deepen your practice. I have attended workshops regularly and have always enjoyed the experience and felt benefits received from attending were well worth my time. As for the other instructors, I can't say enough! Alexa, and Adrienne teach yin and restorative classes that are fantastic. Jenna's classes are challenging enough for the experienced yogi but still attainable for the newer practitioner. They all offer variations for poses to help you get the most from their class. Over all I highly recommend you try out a new comer special at Aloha Yoga and Healing; I guarantee you'll be signing up for the monthly membership in no time!!

From the day I walked into FitLife Gym in East Islip, the first thing I noticed was how clean…read moreeverything was. The equipment is modern, well-maintained, and you can tell they really take pride in the place. The front desk team was super friendly and welcoming, and that same vibe seems to carry throughout the entire gym. I joined almost three months ago and took advantage of a sign-up special that included three coaching sessions. I figured it would be a good way to get familiar with the gym and learn my way around. I was paired with Trainer Amanda, and honestly, that turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. She's knowledgeable, motivating, and somehow makes training fun. I had no intention of continuing with personal training after those first three sessions, but here I am already into my second 12-session package. (shout-out to Amanda ) The training packages are also very reasonably priced compared to what I've paid elsewhere. One of the driving reasons I needed to join a gym was because I needed to do more cardio but I HATE cardio machines. From the beginning when I told Amanda this, we started doing sessions in the outdoor area where she created training blocks for me that keeps it fun, interesting and keeps my heart rate up.. The sled is the (new to me) piece of equipment that I love to hate the most lol I'm already noticing improvements in my strength and balance, and my clothes are fitting noticeably looser. At 52, that's pretty great because loosing weight and gaining muscle is just not as easy as it was, especially in the last 10 years. I've belonged to high-end gyms like Equinox in the past, FitLife is just so much better. This is the gym I was hoping for when I was paying super-premium prices for those other places. I don't usually write reviews unless I'm either really disappointed or really impressed, and FitLife has for sure impressed me.

I've been a member of this gym for over 5 years, and until recently, I always considered it a…read moreclean, welcoming, and respectful environment where people could work out in peace and be able to reach my goals. Unfortunately, my recent interaction with the fitness director, William (Will), completely changed that experience for me. In front of my friend who recently joined the gym and asked me how to properly use the equipment and in front other members, I was aggressively accused of training people at the gym. When I explained that I do not train clients there and that my social media does not advertise personal training services, I was repeatedly met with comments like "I'm not stupid" and claims that he "sees everything" on my Instagram. What made the situation even more uncomfortable was that manager Justin witnessed the entire interaction and stood back without stepping in or attempting to de-escalate the situation. Instead of feeling supported as a long-time member, I felt publicly embarrassed, singled out, and harassed. After over 5 years of loyalty to this gym, I never expected to be approached and spoken to in such an unprofessional and confrontational manner. A respectful private conversation would have been far more appropriate than being challenged publicly in front of others. I still appreciate many aspects of this gym, but this experience seriously changed my perception of the environment and management. I hope situations like this are handled with more professionalism, discretion, and respect moving forward.

The boards were much easy than I thought. I felt secure and got the hang of it pretty quickly. We paddled to an amazing area with a waterfall and past some beautiful houses and shoreline. I loved that you could kneel , lay , stand and just float in the water. It was definitely a fun day and I can't wait to do it again.

After talking a bit and she got what my concerns where, she figured what blend of all her practices she would use on me. She started with Reiki where I went deeply within myself. She placed gems on my body and I could feel the healing properties of the stones penetrating into my being. She did body work touches on me and my legs were having strong releases as well as my breathing letting go with full exhales. Then I turned over on my stomach and she used her ancient tibetan bowl with the sound bathing over me in the most cosmic gentle and fulfilling way. The best part of the session though, the most significant part, is the healing that resulted after all these beautiful techniques. My knee had been giving me serious problem for quite a while and it felt so much better afterwards as I walked home from the session. Now it is days later and my knee has continued to find its way with entering a new alignment so that I am walking in a way that does not cause the same discomfort I was having before the session. Shakti is truly a healer. She has the gentleness, intuition, and skills that make you feel safe to go into a deep place and receive real healing! Patricia H.
