I have been doing Pure Barre here while in school at Michigan State and have absolutely loved it…read more I've taken Pure Barre for years so I'm familiar with the class but this studio is excellent. Always clean and inviting and the teachers are all very friendly! Pure Barre is a low impact, full body workout that uses movements with a small range of motion to effectively tone the body. I have seen such a difference in my strength since taking pure barre. Especially in my abs! I love starting my day with Pure Barre. Their positive environment leaves me feeling accomplished and ready to take on the day!

All the instructors that I have experienced are super helpful and are truly there to help you in the process of becoming the best version of yourself. This studio is super clean and everyone is always so friendly when you walk in. There are tons of different class times that can suit anybody's schedule. I 100% recommend this for anyone looking for something new to try out to get in shape or just to have some fun.

The workouts are great and the instructors get to know you and help you stay motivated. There is no dedicated spot for shoes in the front, but they make up for it by having twice bathrooms. Pure barre is an excellent program. In addition to the fees, the only thing you need is sticky socks. They provide the rest of the equipment.

My +1 and I went to the Spartan Dance Center to try their basic Salsa class with instructor David…read moreTorres for a date night a couple of weeks ago. We live in Oakland County, but the grandparents in East Lansing were ready and willing to babysit for us. I purchased two adult (age 16+) drop-in class reservations online for $14 each (the spots for the date you want usually open up for access/reservation about 2 days before). They offer very reasonable discount packages otherwise as 5 and 10 class card groupings (you turn in a card when you show up for a reserved spot in the class). In fact when we showed up, they had 50% off the 5 class card package for the week. Too bad since we live so far away and I just feel lessons like this require regular/more frequent attendance to catch on. They also offer student and senior discounts. I was hesitant to sign up for one of the other more franchised / popular dance studios local to me that had a buy one get one free intro class because I'd heard the first lesson was more of a hard sell on getting you to buy a package versus an actual lesson. From what I saw online and posted in their studio, the Spartan Dance Center offers tons of other classes, but I, of course, can only speak for the salsa lesson. It was a small group when we were there, another single girl who'd had 2 lessons before and another couple that was a little more advanced. So if you are single and/or don't have a partner for the night, don't be afraid to show up. But, yet, I am one of those people who has no fear of that. David was a great teacher for the basics and, while he starts with salsa, he did indicate he adds on the merengue and bachata dances to the lessons. You will usually use all 3 dances when you hit any club or social that plays Latin Caribbean style music. One thing I love about salsa is that the rhythm and moves cut across the cultures. I am actually Latina, but am admittedly a sorry dancer. The instructor and I were the only Latins there. :-) And, a word to the guys: there is nothing sexier than a man who can expertly lead you in a smooth salsa dance. The dance in itself is sexy, stylized and fun. I am not a great salsa dancer by ANY means, and I tend to force a lead, but a good/take charge partner will always take you in the right direction and tend teach you something along the way. David is one of those guys to learn that from. He started us off with front-to-back, side-to-side steps and a basic turn (my +1 had ZERO salsa experience prior to this lesson and is probably one of the whitest white guys ever, by the way). David worked with the other more seasoned attendees on an individual basis where needed while me and +1 practiced our basic moves. He would then come back to us to refine the work we were doing and reminding us to keep the 'quick-quick-slow' tempo. The class was an hour and went by surprisingly fast. I would suggest for any ladies to wear low-to-mid height heels, if not flats. Mine were a 3"+ mistake. I looked good, but had foot pain by the end of the class. David was very encouraging in the male AND female aspect and quite a nice overall. He emphasized practice, practice, practice and was not overbearing in the least in his suggestion to come back for future lessons and getting the great 1/2 off deal they had going on. If I had lived in the area I definitely would have purchased the 5 lessons to continue. The Spartan Dance Center also has another instructor on another night that teaches the intermediate/advanced salsa class when you feel ready to upgrade your moves. If you and your significant other (or a few girlfriends) want to try something new, beginner Salsa lessons are a fun and interesting thing to attempt. Even if just to try it out with a single drop-in class to see how you like it before you commit to a package. Both beginner and advanced classes are held on a weekly basis. I left off one star because of the slight smell of sweat in the air in the studio. Granted, there was a pilates or yoga class going on prior to when we arrived, but a small touch of Febreze would have been nice. The class started on time and the lady at the registration desk was very friendly. The SDC is located in a strip mall right next to a pizza place (Marco's, I believe). It's easy to pass, especially in the evening. There is a small waiting area upon walk-in divided by a small wall of cubbies to wait at while the prior class finishes up. We did not notice this from the outside and just waited in the car when we didn't need to. You can also learn more about salsa socials and other lessons in the Detroit Metro area and beyond by looking up YA Salsa on the web to put those new, sexy moves into practice.

I got a great workout and left feeling refreshed. Holly is a wonderful instructor, really knows what she is doing. Chantelle is another instructor, and even though she was taking the class herself, she made a point to help me out and make sure I understood the exercises.

The people who work here are so nice! Unlike a business like Pure Barre or Cardio Barre, this facility isn't confined to just one style of barre workout and each day/time is different. I'm a student so I love that I can just change into my special sticky socks, instead of having to lug sneakers around all day. You can buy the socks there if you don't have them already. They offer classes around noon and 5pm which works great with my schedule. They have water there too. The place is also really cute; nicely decorated with a cool ceiling and lights. The classes are small so you always get personal attention from the instructor. The instructors have great tastes in music too! The classes are impossibly hard (oh the burn!!!) but they make it fun. Their online system to sign up for classes is really convenient too, I don't think they have a smart phone app though. My legs already feel stronger after 4 classes. Only downsides are that I wish they had permanent barres, like the ones drilled into the wall. They have portable ones which aren't always the sturdiest. Also I wish they had some of those hand sanitizer things attached to the walls and more tissue boxes (in the winter) to encourage good hygiene. I also thought they should have little towels that people can use to wipe sweat off and drop in a laundry basket when they're done, like most gyms, oh and foam rollers to stretch with would be an added plus! (This might just be the California in me talking) UPDATE: They now have small white sterilized towels you can use and toss in a basket when the class is over (definitely needed in those intense cardio barre classes) and a big Costco sized thing of hand sanitizer! Yay!
