The Pros: *The studio is clean, big, and pretty *The equipment is A+ (Balanced Body) *They offer a few classes in English *If you are new, your first class is 30 euros and you get your second one for free. The Cons: *Classes fill up fast! Especially the English only classes. *The one class I took in French, I figured the instructor might help with a little English. WRONG. Even as an instructor, I was lost. I know about three words. I kept my eyes on everyone else. *The Reformer Flow class was too easy and not sequenced properly. I made it harder by adjusting the springs. I wasn't expecting too hard since it was an all levels class but it was too slow and easy. The odd thing about this studio is that there was something eerily similar to another studio where I has been. It took me about 20 minutes to ask why it looked exactly like "New York Pilates". Like...almost identical. Down to the merch they sell and the vocabulary on their website. Very Odd. I would still return on my next visit for classes.

My husband and I have been doing Pilates and yoga for 15 years in Los Angeles. We have been in…read moreParis for 6 weeks and have been attending yoga classes w/Letitia and private Pilates sessions w/Isabel and Dominic. They communicate in English as our French is insufficient. We have attended the 7:30 and 8 am yoga class which have not had more than 3 people in it -apparently the French are not early morning practitioners. The class is labeled ashtanga. Letitia is gentle and provides individualized adjustments. The class is gentle but provides a full body work out. Her chanting is beautiful and worth the class by itself. The Pilates/feldenkrais/Franklin body work has been excellent. Isabel and Dominic are excellent at observing your body and providing specific instructions tailored to you to improve the efficacy of your practice, strengthening your particular areas of weakness. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in strengthening their body with efficient safe instruction. The facility is clean, pleasant and filled with a lot of toys used for various types of body work. The reformers in Pilates room have also just been upgraded. There is also a new Cadillac. Other classes also look cool but we are only here for six weeks so have to make time for culture and restaurants too!

Nice studio with a strange but charmingly Parisian setup. BIG forbidding door, cute courtyard then…read morestudio is in the back in a weird little dungeon-ey warren of rooms. But the spin studio is back outside the big door, maybe 5 doors down the street. Weird arrangement, but the spin studio is in a bright, lovely storefront that was quite nice - cobblestone walls, etc. Bikes weren't the newest, but were totally serviceable. The French don't seem to love the concept of spinning (they're like - go outside, ride a bike, d'uh) so this was the only studio I could find where you could just take a class without a full-blown gym membership. Charming street, studio was clean, teacher didn't really speak English but he tried very hard and, btw, the studio IS in France, so I give him credit for even trying. Less cool was that the teacher was late, and I understand that's pretty much a regular occurrence, per the other student. There were only two students in class, including me, which was actually just fine. Class was a pretty decent workout, with good music and a nice interval training section, though no upper body work like I've grown to expect from spin classes. Super nice perk was that the studio has a nice private shower and the people at the desk, etc. spoke perfect English.

TL;DR: OK Xtend Barre class, didn't leave feeling exhausted. Expensive for what it was…read more Rituel Studio is situated on the other side of a courtyard and not visible right from the street (except for a portion that doesn't seem to be connected to the main studio that is sometimes used for spinning classes). I arrived in front of the door and all I saw was a digicode and a sign with the studio's name and number. I checked my email to see if the code to open the door was in the confirmation email but it was not. I guess you have to ask them for the code? Anyway, I was about to call the studio to open the door when some guys were leaving, so I slipped in before the door shut and saw the beautiful studio across the courtyard. It had a couch, some merchandise for sale and cubbies to store your shoes. Upon arriving, I let the woman at the front desk know it was my first time and she showed me where to put my things and directed me to the studio. It was a nice space with a mirrored wall and ballet barres on the wall similar to barre studios in the US. I chose a spot at the back (non-mirrored wall). Also, something I found different was that the floor was not carpeted like barre studios in the US. I had socks on but some people were barefoot. The instructor was English and most of the people in the class seemed to be native English speakers as well. Being American, I had no problem with a class in English. But this wasn't noted on the website when I signed up, so if I was a French woman who had no English skills, that might put me off if I walked into a class taught in English without knowing ahead of time. It was my first time doing Xtend Barre so I don't have anything to compare it to. We started out with a warm-up, then used light hand weights for upper body work (I grabbed 1.5 kg after the instructor's suggestion), worked our legs, butt, abs and all the regular things you do in barre class. I noticed the instructor didn't point out any modifications for the exercises so if you weren't able to do a particular move, you just tried your best or modified it on your own. Our instructor had perfect technique and was really fit. The music was fun and fit nicely with the flow of the class, but the instructor didn't use a mic and sometimes it was hard to hear over the music despite the room being small. As I mentioned, I chose a spot on the back wall without a mirror. This wasn't the smartest move because I found myself having to turn around when we were doing moves facing the wall to see the instructor. If my wall had been mirrored I could have seen her in the reflection without having to stop and look behind me. While I had sweat dripping off my face (room was really hot) and enjoyed myself, the class wasn't super difficult. I wasn't sore at all the next day and was disappointed about that! I never found myself looking at the clock and really liked the pace of the class and that we didn't stay on one exercise too long -- each move was maybe only 10 reps so I never got bored. I feel like we only pushed ourselves 70% of the way, though. I never felt like I was pushing myself until failure. Overall, I felt I did work my muscles -- the class wasn't easy and I found myself taking a quick break and then jumping back into a few exercises. There were challenging moves, but I don't feel we did enough reps to get a real burn going. I wanted more!

It was so comfortable that I actually fell asleep. I felt great afterwards! Definitely coming back.
