Lo and behold, the week I move back to Connecticut is the week that SolidCore West Hartford opens. Conveniently located in Blue Back Square, this studio is moderately sized. I like the two rows of reformers because it makes it easier to see around the room. The acoustics/layout of the studio is better than most in NYC. I've only been to a couple of classes so far (a bargain at $15 for their first couple of weeks before the grand opening) and I've found them to be just as good, if not better, than the NYC classes I'm used to. The instructors have been great with instruction, hands-on corrections, and encouragement. They've also been challenging classes that have left me sore for the rest of the day and part of the following. Really happy that this studio is now open - hope they decide to go on ClassPass, however, because I live too far for the all-access membership to make sense.

My crazy friend and I are always on the lookout for a workout deal so when we saw a class pass for…read moreRaquel's on Groupon we decided to check it out. I checked out Raquel's website and read her bio. I found it cool that she's a mom of a young child b/c as a new mom I've been working on finding time to fit fitness into my hectic schedule. We signed up for the 5:30 am class through the Mindbody app. I've used Mindbody in the past and it makes sign up, cancelling (if necessary), and receiving reminders very easy so I'm glad Raquel uses it. There's a parking lot in front of the building which is always nice. When we arrived there were a few others going to the class also arriving and they were kind enough to hold the door for us. Raquel was running a few minutes late but the front desk girl and a few of the regulars already knew to start warming up and they lead us in doing so. When Raquel arrived we got right into it. She was just the right mixture of encouraging and firm to keep us motivated throughout the hour long class. We did a variety of different exercises, went for runs around the studio, etc so there was no getting bored. When we felt like giving up there was someone else in the class shouting way to go or you can do this which was really awesome. The studio is well equipped and there are several before and after pictures from clients displayed which is very encouraging. Ive been to a couple of Raquel's classes by now and I've enjoyed them all. There are men and women of different ages and fitness levels in the classes and everyone sweats! I would definitely recommend Raquel's.

I enjoyed the class very much and decided to try a one month membership. I've seen attended the Saturday Boot Camp, Monday Shredded, and Wednesday Butts and Gutts. They offer a few classes each day (early morning class on weekdays, two evening classes, and a few morning weekend classes). They have a large loft space that can fit a ton of people (no worries about not getting into a class because it's full). There's a variety of different people--ages, genders, fitness levels and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Easy parking in the large lot across the street. They have a variety of membership offerings and group ons right now if you want to give a try. Come spring and summer, they offer workout classes in the park which is pretty cool. Would recommend for anyone looking to try a new fitness regimen!

I have had an assortment of teachers, as I have to fit into when they have openings ( private class). After nearly 3 months, I feel myself getting stronger, feel like I am making headway with learning the correct positions and breathing. The studio is a calm, sunny spot... it is well maintained and the teachers all know what they are teaching. Jessica, Cynthia and Sonja teach a bit differently from each other... so I feel that trading instructors through my schedule has been very beneficial. I HIGHLY recommend classes with these instructors at this studio

There are so many classes offered by a variety of teachers in a variety of different teaching styles. With all of the times and options offered, there's something to please every yogi. Most classes are an hour and fifteen minutes long. Their website is very user friendly and always up to date with the class schedule, a description of each class, and a bio about the instructor, which generally includes the experience level of the instructor and what got him or her into yoga in the first place. I've never had an issue with classes being too full, and if you don't have your own mat or other yoga props (blocks, belt, blanket), they have them there for use free of charge. The studio feels very welcoming and comfortable as a whole. There are two big rooms for classes and all of the staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful, and supportive of your individual yoga practice. The studio also offers teacher training, clinics, and some specialized classes, including one geared towards individuals dealing with MS. They are open 7 days a week. I'd highly recommend this yoga studio. The location is easily accessible (right off of route 2), convenient (across from the TJMaxx/Shoprite plaza, with its own parking lot), and between the number of classes and different teaching styles, you're guaranteed to find something you like that fits in your schedule.

This last weekend was their opening weekend. They offered a full weekend of free yoga classes. I wish I could have taken them all. The yoga teachers are all very friendly and knowledgeable.
