The front desk area is welcoming and warm. I was greeted kindly and check-in was super simple. The space is so relaxing, open, and just has a great energy. They were also able to do a very soft lighting to keep the mood calm but also make it easy if people needed to see. Parking was also pretty easy. Two small things to note. First is that they do not have any props to borrow. I forgot a pillow and ended up just rolling up my sweatshirt. Totally fine, just something to note- definitely make sure you bring what you need. Second- the bathroom is connected to the studio in a way that you can hear people using it during practice. This is a little annoying and awkward for the person going, but I understand there is not a good way to remedy this.

If you have been trying different types of yoga, you will notice that this mix is perfect ;) you can also ask multiple questions or get help or tips for each student. The class can get around to 15 people (average) so you better arrive on time. It's a medium studio. It has a very interesting ceiling which I like! But at the same time, it will be better arriving just in time to find a parking spot.

Since their website address leads to a broken link I reached out on facebook messenger. I used one of Facebooks canned responses to ask 'Do you have any promotions?' and the response was 'Never. I find that kind of model disgusting'. Didn't know asking if they have a promos was such a negative question and I asked them to elaborate, but have not gotten a response.

Wow, my abs have not been this sore in a while! I had heard about Knotty Yoga through the aerial…read moregrapevine and decided to give it a chance when one of Meetup groups planned a meetup here. I took the intro class that was specially priced at $19. For an hour and a half, it was an incredible deal that I could not pass up...and it was more than worth it! There were about 18+ people in the class and we started with a warm up on the silks. Afterwards, we watched Mason and 2 other instructors demo on the rope, silks, and lyra respectively. We then learned a few things on the silks and did a quick stretch of the upper body. The verdict? The warmup is NOT a beginner warmup. There's lots of balancing of the upper body on the arms or forearms while the legs are held up by the silk apparatus. As the body is balancing, it is moving forwards, backwards, and twisting side to side. For me, the warmup was great and challenging, but I could see it being difficult for a beginner. Vivian was the instructor on the silks. I found her explanations and demonstrations thorough as I had previously learned one of the tricks at another studio but had not understood it fully until Vivian explained it another way. We were learning how to climb the silks and even though there was heavy emphasis on the use of the legs, I didn't hear any guidance about relieving any tightness in the forearms or the hands during the instruction. And in the cool down/stretching, there was no focus on these parts of the body at all. For the cool down, we paired up and all we did was twist the upper body while pulling on each others arms. Time was up but I wished that there would have been more time for more thorough stretching. Now I realize that there were a lot of people in the class and it was an intro class so I am probably calling out personal particulars, but I was really impressed with the overall vibe of the studio. I like their whole hybrid exercise modality idea. The instruction was awesome. The studio is a great space and I am especially looking forward to taking future classes in trapeze and lyra. Lastly, I find the pricing options a great value.

A very nice bonus is Jamie seemed to always know the perfect times to let cool air into the room. I walked away from my class feeling stronger and incredibly satisfied. If you haven't been here yet, they offer an incredibly generous $7 for your first week (7 classes). You won't find an introduction package this good anywhere else. This is a special spot and one of the best is the greater Seattle area!

I didn't walk around or touched anything, just lay down on a bench to cool down a bit. The studio Manager (who is also a yoga teacher was in the hallway at that time) approached me and began expressing concern for my health and suggesting that I take some easier classes. Which is wonderful and understandable, thank you very much! Then she said the following: "Another reason not to leave the room during class is that people might feel uncomfortable with you being around their belongings. I'm not saying that you would steal anything, but they might be concerned because they don't know you." Just like that, almost word for word - I have an excellent memory. When I eventually spoke my mind on this topic (in email), the Manager sent me a long email full of explanations. She was clearly standing by her words, even repeating them, justifying them by saying that stealing has happened in the studio before. In the same email, she informed me that my studio pass is being terminated and I'm not to return to the studio. Let me tell you about myself. I'm an immigrant speaking with an accent and a white-passing person of color; I work in Higher Education. I've told this story to many of my colleagues and friends. Everyone is in disbelief and asking me - did it happen here, in our state!?! Yep... If the management of this studio believes that I was not treated in any irregular or unusual way, and if they stand by their comments, they should turn their words to me into a studio policy for everyone to consider, not only me! It could go something like this: "Coming outside the room into a hallway during class is discouraged. One of many reasons, people might be uncomfortable with you, our lovely and valued customer, being left unattended around their belongings. Unless they know you, of course! BTW, we are not saying that you would steal anything, no-no! Don't get us wrong! We're only expressing what others might think of you!" :-)

Buyers at other Bala studios beware!!!…read more The Kirkland studio closed without warning or contact to clients. Statement from owner was posted on Instagram, "...to reach out to all active students with options to transfer." Never heard a word from the owner except for his bullying comments on Yelp.

Unexpected change of instructor at the last minute, so I canceled class. Received penalty notification as expected and did not have any issues. I decided to notify them, as I believe communication is important and also respectful when you're a no show.

She also made sure to indicate boldly in her communication that she is the "OWNER" when I didn't ask and was trying to close the toxic display of her communication towards me. Quite sad frankly to learn of an owner who practices against its mission statement. Be wary.

ok i've been with this gym for a few months now…read more this is the reason i joined this gym. the kids klub is MILES better than any other kids klub ive seen. a full playground and not just a room with a few random toys in it! staff members that actually seem to like children and aren't just unhappily stuck babysitting! amazing. baby comes first, always the gym always smells good and is always well air conditioned. everything is neat and organized. and i really appreciate that they respect women--there's a separate women's area if women want to go there! the only problem is that it's pretty small for how popular it is, so a lot of the times it's packed the staff is hit or miss. some staff members are 100% on point, definitely know what's up and what's not. some staff members will BS you and just make up stuff. i asked a staff member once to give me a guide on the weight machines and what's generally where, and he was just like, "you can read the things... these machines are not good... let me know if you have questions" just seemed like he didn't even know what was what. the personal trainers seem awesome. i've only spoken with karen, michael, and catherine. they all had a different style, and i'm sure there's a good fit for every type of person out there. with all of them, though, i had a sense that they really cared about me and just wanted to help me with my goals, whatever they were i saw another review giving a 1 star for broken washers. so what? yeah it's true the washers break down. then bring your own towel. imo it's a luxury that we even get towels. haven't you ever been to a gym that doesn't supply you with towels? is it so hard to bring your own? come on man i think it's really neat that they offer valet parking, bc sometimes the parking gets so full, but i do feel bad for the employees just toasting out there in the sun :( they deserve popsicles there is a lot of variety in machines, and not just resistance training, but cardio too. there's this one that's like a never ending hamster wheel (not really), and there's one that's like elliptical + stairmaster, and it's so hard and i hate it but i know it's effective. there's also a million weights downstairs and upstairs. there's bigger amenities like a sauna, basketball court, pickleball court, massage chairs (?! amazing), and a pool that's only open to lessons. i wish the pool had designated free swim times :/ i've tried a few classes, and this is what i have to say about them: - Body Balance: this is NOT easy, and it is NOT relaxing!! it is constant "am i doing this right?" and falling over and the instructor moving from one pose to the next like lightning - Body Attack: this is NOT for all levels! this is high level cardio for one hour! this is exhausting and too hard! - Pilates: I LOVE ALL THE PILATES CLASSES AND INSTRUCTORS THEY ARE WOMEN FOR WOMEN THEY MAKE ME FEEL AWESOME I love this gym, and I love how much they love my son. this rating is wild, and i think it's just bc the "high class" people who come here are so entitled. you will run into the women talking loudly on their phones or the women watching kdramas with no headphones, even when the gym provides headphones. crazy. this gym is awesome

They violated the existing…read morecontract terms with 425 Fitness, and they should honor existing customer contracts in an acquisition, I have been a member for more than 5 years. Denied access with my physical card despite I am fully paid and my contract stated that is the way to enter the facility. Very rude front desk people, they forced downloading their app as condition of entry and accepting their liability terms under duress. Increased the prices, layered undisclosed taxes and fees, pull funds in advance, and only a month later you see the added fees of the prior month are higher than the 2.5% stated. My 425 Fitness contract (still the only document I've ever signed) was transparent: month-to-month price including taxes, no cc fees. They raise prices unilaterally sending emails and the quoted price doesn't match the charges. If you click "contact us" they simply ignore your tickets for weeks and when they respond with dismissive and inaccurate statements. I escalated to my cc and they credited the excess charges in my favor, as Bay Club had no signed authorization to pull the larger monthly amounts and went silent when I asked for a copy of it (of course as they don't have such thing). The gym was filthy when they took over, smelly showers, mold, hair in walls, and equipment broken, pool out of order, sauna out of order, hot water tuning cold mid-shower, water fountain broken, etc. Definitely not worth the ever increasing prices and reduced services. Personnel used to be professional and friendly, not anymore. I canceled and now they are still trying to run my credit card after giving cancelation for their breach of contract.
