Edit: I had to edit my review. I was SO ready to sign up. When we took the intro class it was…read moresuggested to take 10-15 1.0 class to ease in. However, when I looked at the schedule there are limited options. Unfortunately, only evenings (after 4pm) work for me and this location only has 3 options and those are basically full. If you work from home or not at all you will have lots of options. So sad. My mission is to try new things and go places i decided to try pilates reformer. I didn't know what to expect but I was excited because this was going to be different than floor pilates. I went to the 30min intro class to just try it out. We got some introduction and hopped on. The resistance was super easy, but what I didn't know is I would feel it later, lol. Dana was so great and because of her I'm considering the 8 pack/month pass. The manager was welcoming and they don't pressure you at the end of class to sign up. The class speaks for itself. If you've ever wanted to try reformer go to this location when Dana is teaching for the free (can't beat free) intro class. Even though it was only 30mins I still felt it the next day, in a good way.

I love how passionate the instructors are. I initially signed up for 4 classes per month then I ended up upgrading to 8. That is perfect for me to try different classes offered.

I get much of my exercise in my home gym and outside when it's nice, but MN winters are not nice. It's hell out there. If you feel the same, you should checkout this place. I was browsing Groupon fitness deals and found Shape Me Group Fitness and went on their site to find out what classes they offer. There's a good variety from Zumba, Turbo Kick, Latin Hip Hop, Mat Pilates, Yoga etc. I went through with my purchase. I was nervous my first time, I went with a Zumba class. All of the instructors are really nice and don't make you feel like a beginner. They make it a point to let you know that no one cares what you look like doing it as long as you're doing it correctly and not injuring yourself. They want to make sure you're getting a good workout, and you're having fun. Which was great because I totally thought I had the moves down, then looked at myself in the mirror and I'm pretty sure I was just running in place and flailing my arms around. It doesn't matter though because everyone else is too busy keeping up, they're not watching you. The classes are always filled with a decent amount of people. You always have room, but you're never looking around like "dang I'm the only person in the mirror." The studio is a good size and you have clear views of the instructor. It's very clean, and there are bins for your personal belongings. My favorite classes so far have been Zumba in the Circuit with Ritzy. It's one minute of Zumba and one minute of machine for 50 minutes. Good stuff. Ritzy is super energetic and motivating, take one of her classes! Turbo Kick with Bao it really good too. I've learned I need to practice kicking higher. I'd never win in a kick off. Dani also works you hard in Zumba, but you feel great about your workout afterwards. All in all you won't be disappointed with any of the instructors here! P.S. For my male friends, there are men there too. Don't be shy!

I've tried a few other exercise places around town, including CorePower and the Midway Y, but Shape…read moreMe is my favorite. It's "homemade" in a good way. Rather than being part of a chain, it's a family business, with owner Ritzy teaching many of the classes. If you have a question or a suggestion, she is always available to talk. The instructors always invite you to talk with them after class. The instructors really set the tone for relations among the customers. Their kindness and equal treatment of all means that there's no snobby competition among the students. I've seen everyone from slim, toned model types to plenty of chunky gals like me to people who are badly out of shape and only able to participate for a few minutes at a time. There is a lot of ethnic diversity, too. The studio is clean and comfortable, the cost is reasonable, and there is ample parking. The only downside is that there is not a dressing room, although there is a bathroom where you can change if you need to.

I recently tried the cardio dance class and it was a lot of fun. The Yoga CircHIIT classes are my personal favorite. It's a yoga and HIIT style class in one and the instructor's are great. Just a heads-up the classes are heated, so be prepared to sweat a little extra. The studio has showers, bathrooms, and changing rooms on site. I don't mind parking on the street since there's usually quite a bit of availability, but they also have a parking lot that is free upon validation inside. They are also in ClassPass!

The instructors are amazing too. They offer a student and senior discount so be sure to ask if you qualify for either. This is a HOT yoga studio so be prepared to sweat. That took a little getting used to but I love the variety and times that classes are offered. You're not limited to one club either. You can take classes at any of their other Core Power studios. Instructors are amazing here. Facilities vary location to location but this space is small. Sometimes you feel like you're on top of each other if it's crowded but I've gotten used to that. It's a tight held community and I'm so glad I'm part of it.

612 Jungle is THE vibe, friends! I'm kicking myself for not getting here sooner…read more Their new location is on Garfield Ave in Uptown (moved from NE). There is some free street parking (though it's limited), and a parking lot across the street that's $1. I signed up via ClassPass for an R&B Restore evening class. I saw the string lights leading up the stairs to the studio and knew this was going to be a cool spot. I love low lighting, especially for yoga! When I stepped into the studio welcome area...wow. The neons, the swinging chair, the cool lights: it all felt so relaxing and zen. I was instantly greeted by Angel, who was so welcoming and friendly for my first time. As people trickled in I could tell there is a solid community here that accepts and welcomes everyone. Angel showed me around to the bathrooms and shower rooms (BYOTowel!) and brought me into the studio where mats were already set up for class. They have one room for now, and a second is under construction for yoga teacher training. Y'all. This room! Neon at the front, walls lined with faux vines, lined with lights and faux candles, and a lit-up cloud creation on the ceiling. I could feel my muscles instantly relax and my jaw loosen. I felt so peaceful. Angel's restore class was nothing short of exceptional. The poems and phrases she shared were so impactful, her playlist was spot on (to the point where almost everyone in class begged her for the playlist after), and the energy in the room was so healing. Truly one of the best classes I've taken in years. After class, several of us chatted with Angel as we packed up. I felt so restored - this definitely won't be my last visit to 612 Jungle! I'm dying to try their other workout formats and meet other instructors.

Some people don't like the parking here but I've never had an issue finding a spot in the ramp so it doesn't bother me at all!

Hannah's classes are a 10/10 each time!!!All of the instructors are supportive, bring great energy, and invite you to challenge yourself. I take classes through ClassPass and Up Yoga is my most frequented studio. Very grateful they are on ClassPass! The studio is inviting and very straight forward. There is street parking and small lots on either side of the building (you probably aren't supposed to park in front of the cremation society during their business hours, but when I go to class the lot is empty and it's after hours, so I park there). You check in at the front desk, leave your shoes and jacket in the lobby, then head into the studio. They have so many class times to choose from, and they stagger the times just right so if you're someone like me who arrives 15 minutes to each class, you don't have to awkwardly wait around for another class to get out before you can go in. It's nice getting adjusted to the heat in the studio before you start moving. I would definitely recommend arriving at least a couple minutes early. You bring your own mat and water bottle. They provide weights, blocks, and towels. They also have cubbies inside of the studio for you to put your belongings, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own lock or leaving your stuff unattended. They also have bathrooms and a changing room if you're coming right from work. I cannot recommend Up Yoga enough!!
