Hard to believe that East Side Pilates (ESP) has yet to get a review. Two private lessons in, and…read moreI'm a huge fan of the studio. I can usually tell within my first 10 minutes of a first lesson on whether the teacher/student relationship is going to work out. I've been fortunate enough to have been taught by some awesome instructors in most major cities I've traveled to over the past five years. I've also had my share of crappy ones as well. Thus, I'm VERY particular with who I choose as my instructor. Being a future physical therapist who suffers from plenty of joint pain (and multiple operations), one of of my criteria in choosing a studio/instructor is whether I'd feel comfortable enough to send a patient there without the risk of the instructor injuring/killing them. I've definitely found a winner with Dawn at ESP. She's a wonderful instructor who actually listens to her clients. She's great at cueing students on what the particular exercise entails. Despite being classically trained, she's open to mixing things up a bit to keep me challenged and interested. I've taken lessons in the past by the annoying "classical purists/snobs" who refuse to change their routine - constantly name dropping and stating that "Joe" (as in Joe Pilates) did it a certain way and that's the ONLY right way. I guess they would be correct if we were still in the 19th century, but anatomy, orthopedics and biomechanics have evolved since then. Back on topic of Dawn, I have yet to take one of her classes, but plan on doing so soon. I know that she'll be equally as great teaching a group as she does a private lesson. The studio does offer group lessons at an affordable price, at least in comparison to studios in LA or NY. The variety includes reformed, tower, mat, jump board, and barre classes, and I believe classes are taught everyday. Classes run from around $15 to $25, and privates are $60/55 minute session. Packages are available, which can bring the prices down quite a bit. And for all you newbies to the studio, they offer fantastic introductory packages. I purchased an introductory three-pack for $160. In any case, East Side Pilates gets my seal of approval. I'm already looking forward to returning for my next lesson.....a very good sign that I found a winner indeed! Tip (an addendum): If you're a complete newbie or have an orthopedic/neurological condition, I HIGHLY recommend talking to Ann (the owner - who's awesome with coordinating lessons and communicating) and setting up a few privates prior to taking classes. Some of the moves can put your body into compromising positions with certain conditions, so it's better to err on the cautious side!

Barre District OC is my jam! I love the variety of classes they offer (basic barre, cardio tabata…read morestyle classes, and even core specific classes). Each instructor brings their own flavor and playlists, and you can expect something different each class. The only thing that stays the same is that sweet, sweet burn you feel after each class. If you're looking to mix up your workout routine, check out a barre class- first one is always free! Additionally, they've been super careful during Covid- enforcing masking, social distancing, sanitizing the studio... I don't know that I'd feel safe taking classes at a lot of other places right now. Barre District is doing all the right things

I do wish the instructor would have made adjustments or assisted with poses - maybe that's not normal for yoga classes, but for other workout classes i've taken it really makes a huge difference as it helps you understand exactly how a pose is supposed to feel. The instructor was great though, as was the class as whole. The reason for four stars instead of five: the building is confusing and it's tough to find their space. The signs say to go to the third floor, but their address on google says 2nd floor. Additionally, there was constructions/drilling going on on the floor during the class and quite a few people outside of the studio talking loudly which made it difficult to relax/concentrate on the breath/flow. Not sure if the door was left open or the walls are just thin - but that was a major negative in my opinion. Though assuming that was atypical, I would certainly come back.

Four years later, and Milwaukee power yoga is still just as legit. Especially as we move into the…read morecolder months, this place offers a brief almost mini tropical vacation from the brutal midwestern winters. It's a niche exercise facility obviously...you're basically coming there for hot yoga -- the regular class, slow flow, candlelight or beginner - all those are pretty self explanatory. They also do lots of workshops that are fun and generally on the weekends. Their sound system always seems on point- never too loud or too soft. Each teacher has their own style of playlist but I usually love all the music choices here. if you haven't take yoga classes (esp hot yoga classes) you may balk at prices but from going to other places, their prices are some of the most reasonable in the city. And if you're not sure and are new you can try the "10 days for $10" special where you can try out as many classes as you like in 10 daysfor 10$. It's hot in the studio (seems to go anywhere from the 80s to over 100)so bring a mat sized towel (and maybe a small one too)a long with your mat cuz you're probably gonna sweat! Don't have one? bring a beach towel - that works too! or rent or buy one from the studio. You can also rent or buy mats, and they sell other little accessories and water. Props for class are free for use. Only thing to remember is there's no showers-just changing rooms and bathrooms, and parking is pretty much street-only (with a lot of it being metered.) I'd highly recommend walking or biking. Namaste, yelpers! .

Even in the dead of winter, my best friends and I made a commitment to attending hot yoga sessions. When we arrived, we walked into the facility, and there were areas to place our belongings and shoes. The room we did yoga in was large, and had mirrors lining the walls. The classes were packed, so spacing our mats was hard, but we made room. Shows how popular it was! We began with beginner sessions and moved up to harder classes. I had a great time and loved how calm I felt after! We also took classes that were simple flow and stretch. I have not returned since COVID but I did enjoy my time at this facility! The instructors were respectful of my space and gave good tips for modifications.

I wouldn't be surprised if I end up coming back after my course is over. Highly recommend!

I completed the 6 week course and didn't feel confident so I basically quit. A while later, I received a $15 off for a class and curiosity pushed me to sign up for a repeat of pole 1. I completed it with full confidence (Thanks, Valerie!) I am now in Pole 6. I've even repeated a few courses just to keep mastering the moves and to continue seeing my new, but now, Miss Pole friends! Every few weeks I find a Facebook or email flash promo for $$$ off classes which keep me signing up for more. I've even begun to wear heels in class and don't mind wearing smaller and smaller shorts (because you need all the skin grip you can get in those upside down inverts and moves! ) I would challenge even the shyest of women to try a class. It's only going to make you feel sexy, beautiful and even make you stronger if you keep at it! Although I do work out at a local gym, I thoroughly enjoy my weekly pole sessions. Parking is always easy to find, wear clothing to your comfort and go to open pole classes if you want more practice! (Or buy your own pole.) Of course, I have my favorite instructor, but all are instructor certified and know how to explain moves well. If you don't enjoy a class or an instructor they work with you as needed.

Enjoyed my first yoga class here today and it was a delight!…read more I made a drop-in reservation online ($21, paid in advance of the class) and arrived at the class roughy 5 minutes before the class was set to start. I was aiming to be 10 minutes early (which would have definitely been more ideal) but I'm a disaster in the morning (maybe disaster is a bit harsh but, let's just say--I'm not a morning person). They have mats for you to borrow or you can bring your own. They also have blocks, straps, and blankets. If you go to a class you'll need all of the above. Fortunately, I met a friend there who gave me the lay of the land. I went to their Tosa Yoga Flow class, which is a great class for beginners. I'm 100% a beginner and felt quite comfortable. They also have a gentle yoga flow as well as a mellow flow + restorative, which are both also good for beginners. If you're more advanced, their strong flow class may just be for you! After getting situated with my mat and props, the class began. Our instructor was clear, kind, and inclusive. She provided judgement free alternatives to moves so that you could do what feels comfortable. After the class, they informed me that they have a deal where newbies get one month of unlimited classes for $49! Even better? My $21 that I paid for the drop in could be applied toward the newbie rate. I signed up and am looking forward to trying a variety of classes this month! Highly recommend Tosa Yoga for a lovely, restorative, inclusive yoga experience. Get to it!

So I was relieved when I looked at their class schedule and saw that they rank their classes 1-3 with 1 being the most basic and slow flow yoga. It was perfect! The other thing that I LOVE is that you don't need to make appointments to attend classes, you just show up! Tip: buy a 10 back of classes for a deep discount!
