I really just wish they offered more classes, especially on weekends! I don't live locally but visit my parents here often, and if I oversleep or miss the one Saturday class, they have no other opportunities to go. That said, if you're local, they have a good after-work class times and Laurie is a really good teacher. I've never had a problem with parking, and there's a pizza place nearby if you want to undo all the good you just did for your body!

I just can't say enough great things about Michele Zerbey's Pregnancy Yoga class at The Yoga Room…read more Taking her class has been one of the best experiences during my pregnancy. She is so knowledgeable, and gives each student personal attention. She also provides multiple modifications with every pose we do, customizing it to your comfort and skill level. I always leave the class feeling more relaxed, more connected to my baby, and more prepared to take on childbirth. Her classes fill up quickly, so I recommend signing up as early as you can. This is a must class for any expecting mama to be!

My friend and I were visiting the area and came across Vitality Athletics online, and we're so glad…read morewe did. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and supported. The coaches gave one-on-one attention to everyone in the class, walking us through each exercise from the workout of the day with clear instruction and encouragement. We loved that we could work solo or in partners depending on what we were comfortable with, and the positive energy from both the coaches and members made the experience even better. The coaching style was exactly what we were looking for. They showed each movement in detail, then gave us space to focus and work through the workout at our own pace. At the same time, they stayed present and attentive, keeping an eye on our form and making sure we were pushing ourselves without overdoing it. The gym itself is beautiful, spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a solid training session. Another thing we really appreciated was the flexible and affordable payment options. Whether you're local or just visiting, they make it easy to train with choices like monthly memberships, day rates, and multi-class packs (5-pack, 10-pack, and more). Vitality Athletics strikes that rare balance of great coaching, a supportive community, and a well-maintained space, all at a price that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

It is a philosophy and spiritual practice, not an exercise technique. = We met up with a group of friends to try the new cafe, Food4All, and ended up getting an in-depth tour from the ashram's founder. An ashram (in case you don't know) is a residential facility for spiritual learning. This one recently opened in the former BCIU buildings on this land, and oh how lucky the neighborhood is to have this foundation move in. They are making the building sustainable, practice zero-waste techniques, and are surrounding the buildings with organic farms. The ashram moved to Berks from Toms River NJ and is open to all, for dining, classes, internships, volunteering, and training, even an advanced certification in yoga therapy. YT can be applied to any workplace to help both the employees and leaders as well as the clients/patiehnts/customers. What a good idea for staff training. The cafe is all-organic and vegetarian, gluten-free, soy-free, mostly vegan actually. We had quiche, pancakes, salad, roasted veggies, and breads in a lovely bright dining area with lots of chai tea (made with coconut milk) and light. There are some innovative yoga classes here, for example, using swings, but they make it all sound welcoming to beginners. What a glorious use of two old school buildings which have been transformed into an open, bright, spacious retreat with many uses.

Having to take my daughter out of here hurt. The trainers / instructors were excellent and on top of being fantastic at Jiu Jitsu they were equally mastered at handling kids who might throw a fit or become upset or aggressive. In the time my daughter spent there I clearly recognized how she developed her attitude toward teamwork, respect, self-esteem, discipline.... They were very warm and welcoming toward newcomers who might be a little intimidated in the new environment. I saw several instructors who were all great but in particular I'll mention Andrew who was amazing with handling the kids, managing conflicts and teaching respect without ever losing his cool, and Jason and Patrick were both exceptional instructors who helped round out the positive learning experience and environment. I'd recommend Valley Jiu Jitsu for anybody, any age, looking to toughen up and learn the technique and enhance your attitude and self-discipline. Seeing my daughter grow and learn there was amazing and I give my deepest thanks to the instructors!

The space is well equipped and the equipment is top notch! I love how everyday we did a question of the day, this was a great ice breaker. We also learned that most crossfitters are crazy....especially the ones who wake up Monday through Friday. Justin was super nice and very helpful he was the main coach. The 5:15 am class was fun and so very welcoming. The owner was very good at responding and answering all my questions. The gym peeps cheered EVERYONE on, including new drop in me. I really enjoyed this gym. The only suggestion I have is the programming. Mayhem is decent. It's not great, it's mid, in my opinion. This gym has some super fit peeps and I wonder if anyone has asked about the programming. I have been to well over 15 different CrossFit gyms. This gym is in my top 5, and I think their programming could be a tad better. Mayhem is associated with Rich Froning, so I assume it has that flex attached to the name. Lifting was 2-3 times a week, and since for whatever reason it was ordinarily two lifts it felt rushed. Followed by fast time capped workouts. However, there was a girl there who in my opinion was a bad ass! She was always off to the side doing her own thing, she only participated in class twice. I meant to ask what programming she was following, but we were too busy gabbing about our obsession with NOBULL shirts and Fleo pants:) there were 3 days where I was not impressed with the workouts. However the vibe, and the atmosphere got me up and brought me to the gym. Plus I paid 120 for 3 weeks, they had my money already so I was definitely showing up everyday. All in all this place is great and I can see why this gym is so successful. I wish I could do 4.5 stars but five means I loved it and I will be back!

My friend is a trainer at a 'globo' gym and received his credentials via an online 2-hour course (hooray!). The programming here is as close to 'tailored-for-you' as it gets, trainers are top-notch certified, and 'the box' is full of uplifting, positive people who are motivating and pushing you to reach your goals along the way. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to better their athletic performance - whether it be compete in your first marathon, try an Ironman, or just develop and maintain a more active lifestyle to get the most out of life.
