Both studios have organized and well-trained instructors. The music is a nice touch - very motivating! and there are a lot of classes to choose from each day. I rarely had to be on a wait list and even then, I always got in. The classes always start and end the same (at least the ones I took) which was odd to me at first, but then I started to really like it. It is a nice relief to know you are getting feet in straps after a challenging class!

Update ! Speakeasy…read moreSpin review ; Ok saw the cure on the playlist, huge fan so of course I booked this asap . Alright like any speakeasy , there's some things you should know before coming to your first class ... Parking - OMG This lot is tiny and very limited. There's now QR scan codes to pay for parking , DON'T PAY - use scan codes for FREE parking at front desk. Check in - You will check in around at the newly remodeled front lobby . It's gorgeous ! At the front desk you can scan code for FREE parking . It's not a quick process , so come EARLY. You will have to input a card & plate number , yada yada & of course it's not the go Tucson parking app , it's metropolis ughhh. Entrance - speakeasy spin is located through a side door adjacent to parking , look for a small sign in window . Go in and up the stairs after you check in at the front lobby . Restrooms - UGH You need a code and it's down a hall , then down another hall and it's shared with showers . Of course I walked in on someone nude and changing ! Whoops Equipment - ask what you need before spin starts it's not listed on a board or anything , halfway through I had no idea I needed a band so instructor gave me hers but it was light resistance, didn't feel much . Bikes- Hello Kaiser bikes ! Most spin studios in town use stages bikes but this studio has true Kaiser cycling bikes with universal pedals , cycle shoe clip ins on one side and sneakers will fit into the other side . Kaiser bikes are known for being tough to adjust sometimes but they're a smooth ride . DROP IN - $21 , not bad for a fuss free drop in. Overall- the class I took overall was a bit mellow to be my vibe at 7am , I do prefer a drill sergeant ready to party on a bike in the morning . However this instructor was sweet and helpful . The studio is a lofty speakeasy vibe and I love the lighting . Sound and microphone were on point . Would I come back - ABSOLUTELY

For those who love to move and dance with no judgment from the teacher or others, try Nia. It is quite unique. Animas as a facility is the perfect setting for intimate yet high-quality yoga, dance, or pliates. The people who work there are incredibly friendly and the teachers are professional and well-trained in their fields. Classes tend to be small so you get lots of personal attention. This is not an "exercise mill" in any sense of the word. Highly recommended.

I popped into IM = X Pilates & Fitness Studio on the East Side for a preview class, and it was a…read morereally sweet first look at a brand-new, family-run studio. You can feel the heart behind this place right away--mother, son, sister all involved--and the energy was welcoming from the start. They currently offer Reformer and Mat Pilates, with plans to add Tower Pilates and cycle bikes soon (which I'm excited to see roll out). The reformers are unique to the franchise, and we got to try jump boards, various straps, planks, push-ups, and crunches--definitely a solid, challenging workout. I took an intermediate class and felt it, which makes me curious about their upcoming Extreme level. I also appreciated having both a male and female instructor--especially fitting since Pilates was created by a man--and both were knowledgeable and supportive. Since this was a preview, they're still working out some kinks (sound system, mics, etc.), which is totally expected this early on. Pricing is on the higher end for a drop-in ($38), though they do offer intro deals and packages, and they're not on ClassPass just yet. While this may not end up being my go-to studio, I think IM = X has a lot of potential, especially as everything comes fully online--and it's always nice to support a new, locally run spot finding its rhythm.

It kicked my butt, I was glistening sweat, my muscles were straining, I got light headed, BUT had a blast with my friend. It was such a good time and workout. Our instructor, Alie, was funny. He was professional, safety first minded, pushed us, and laughed with us. Note, you are in a aerial hammock that rubs against your body. Wear a t-shirt to cover your armpits, remove any body jewelry and rings that could get caught against the fabric. BRING LOTS OF WATER! Next time I am in town we will definitely go back and give it another whirl!

It is also the hottest on the right side of the room (facing front)- I love it. All the teachers are also phenomenal; great timing, pace of the class and you can hear them all. The studio is clean and upbeat with positive vibes all around. You will not regret trying this place out!

I signed up for unlimited two weeks of classes for $20, a deal even for this typically affordable town. The staff was friendly and answered all of my questions. If you are new to hot yoga it seemed like they were ready to go into a bit of an introduction, but since I shared that I have a lot of experience they quickly moved on and had me on my way. My favorite part was at the end of the class when we were all given cold towels with peppermint essentials oils; I laid mine on my face during shavasana and then wiped down my face, neck, and arms for a refreshing drive home. The bathrooms have showers if that's more convenient.

I came in to do a double class drop in , vinyasa- hot & vinyasa warm with soundbath . Overall it's not going to be on my top10 places to yoga out here but I may be back for another class one day it's not terrible, just doesn't come close to some of the yoga experiences I've had in town. PROS ; Heated classes Affordable $9 drop in Mirrors Ambient dark lighting Friendly instructors Mats available to borrow no charge Cute location I actually learned a couple new posture terms! CONS ; both classes were so slowwwww (should be labeled as slow flow not vinyasa ) I like it hotter & faster for vinyasa Parking - sucks Music was so low for both classes I could barely hear it , turn it up ! Instructors teach facing you so you have a hard time following when you start twisting and all the things , I prefer instructors who teach facing the mirror the same direction as students . ROACHES - yep borrowed a studio mat and a fricken roach fell out... not a great first impression. Took a minute to shake that off ewww. During soundbath instructor opened door , It's 4th so it's loud and distracting outside . It would have been nice to just have it closed.
