One of my friends was a member here and brought me along for a class. We came on a Monday night for…read morehot yoga and it wasn't very busy, which was preferable to me. The instructor was great and walked us through each of the poses. I left feeling like I got a pretty solid workout. It was a bit hard finding the studio, but thankfully my friend showed me where it was. I'm not sure I'd join for the price, considering it didn't seem like there were other options besides yoga there, but it could make sense for someone who's really into yoga!

Googled Hot Yoga in Boston and came up with this one. We were surprised when we arrived that the…read moreclass was not heated. Actually it was cold. The vinyasa class was pretty basic. Beautiful studio though. I'd come here for a mellow recovery class. But it wasn't really the heated vinyasa work out I was looking for.

I visited Balans last evening for a massage that I had purchased through Gilt City. I can 100% say…read morethat I am hooked and will be going back. I was greeted by Tal upon arrival. We first discussed my needs and prior massage experiences. Tal was AMAZING! I echo what the previous individual commented. She showed real concern for the muscular issues in my back and helped to explain what she would be doing during the session to address them. She also gave me tips on posture while sitting for long periods at work! Very excited to book my next visit!

After a busy week in NYC we came to Boston for a wedding & decided we would treat ourselves to a…read morerelaxing couples massage. I have to say that it exceeded my expectations and provided some much needed relaxation and balance to my mind, body and soul. If I lived in Boston I would visit Allain every chance I got!!! Without reservations, I highly recommend the couples massage at Balans.

I discovered BURN on ClassPass and loved it from the first class. It is a small studio, but I have…read morenever felt over-crowded in a class. The equipment is in great shape and I like that they have a lot of different weight options. I have taken a few instructors and all are friendly and helpful! Something I love about this studio is it welcomes all ages and abilities. It can be very intimidating walking into a new place and this studio does a great job of welcoming all. I am excited to try all the different classes they have to offer! The only downside is since it is such a small studio, they do not have a ton of class times to choose from. But that being said, I have never had an issue getting into a class or finding one that fits my schedule. My favorites are the TRX Bootcamp with Alex and the Power BURN with Jonathan. I can not recommend this place enough if you are looking for a strength training workout!

I'd visited BURN Fitness Studios for the first time through ClassPass a few years ago and really…read moreenjoyed the classes I took. I signed back up for ClassPass recently and was so thankful to be able to take BURN classes again, even during a pandemic. I've since gone back into the studio for in-person classes, which are masked and have limited capacity, but now prefer to take their classes online. My favorite classes have been Tabata Burn and Power Burn. Jonathan, who teaches both, is charismatic and makes the class feel engaging even through Zoom. I would say the classes are challenging, but suited for all skill levels, and they encourage you to modify the workouts for whatever feels good for you.

Tried the mat and chair class at Boston Body Pilates for the first time with a friend, and we had…read moresuch a positive experience! Our instructor, Julien, was fantastic -- super welcoming, patient, and helpful throughout the whole class. She made it easy to follow along, even as first-timers, and her guidance really helped us feel comfortable and confident. The space was clean and calming, and the vibe of the class was just the right mix of challenging and supportive. I'm definitely planning to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone curious about trying Pilates! 10/10 would recommend!!

I've been taking classes at Boston Body Pilates in the Waterfront for about six weeks now, and my…read moreexperience has been overwhelmingly positive--especially thanks to Valencia, one of their instructors. She's a Black woman, and having that representation in a Pilates space genuinely matters to me. Starting where I started and seeing how far I've already come with her support has meant a lot. She remembers my name, makes me feel included rather than out of place, and gives hands-on guidance that actually helps me understand and correct my technique. It's the kind of attention that makes you want to keep showing up. From my very first day, I've also felt welcomed by Courtney, who greeted me when I walked in, and by Mallory, who's been responsive and kind over email. There's a sense of attentiveness throughout the studio that I really appreciate--especially with all the current conversations happening around inclusivity in Pilates spaces. Now, for the real talk: Communication They do say on their website that email is the best way to reach them, and they mean it. Calling is... hit or miss. I've called before and gotten no answer, and I've talked to other people who've had the same experience. So if you're looking for a quick phone response, good luck--you're better off emailing. Schedule & Space They offer classes seven days a week, with options in the morning, afternoon, and evening, which makes it easy to fit into any schedule. I'm also looking forward to exploring more of the studio, because they have different rooms with different machines and setups. Parking It's the Northend--so yes, parking is rough. You're likely paying $28+ unless you luck out with street parking. Keep that in mind when planning your trip. Location They're a bit tucked away. If you're taking a Lyft or driving, note that you can't just pull up right in front. They're located on the other side of Joe's (the restaurant). Once you figure it out, it's easy, but the first time can feel like a scavenger hunt. Other Note From time to time there's a dog in the studio, but I've never had it roaming around during class. Just something to know if you're allergic or prefer pet-free spaces. Overall, I've felt supported, included, and challenged in all the right ways. If you're considering trying Pilates--especially if you value representation, community, and instructors who actually pay attention--Boston Body Pilates Waterfront is worth checking out.

Barre's riddle should be: What weighs more: A ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? Ans: they weigh the same Here are the general points: I've never been more afraid of stairs in my life. My glutes are shelfing. The smallest muscles shake. I'm not saying that I'd rather be waterboarded, but honestly these 50min classes are a journey. I can see why they say in 8-10 classes you can see results. I highly recommend going here.

Petty, inflexible, and honestly embarrassing behavior from a studio that isn't even a high end studio. It's not discipline, it's a desperate power trip. They'd rather shut the door in a paying client's face than use basic judgment. The instructor was Emma Cammer so not sure if she's to blame or the studio itself
