Currently in the midst of my free two week trial...they offer to all new students! It's pretty nice…read morebecause it's unlimited meaning can go to any classes and any of the 3 locations. I'm on track to complete 17 classes during this time. All of the instructors I've practiced with have lead a nice class. Of course there may be some personal preference differences in terms of music selection or flow, but there are enough different times and instructors to be able to pick and choose which class you would want to go to. I enjoy the variety they offer in terms of types of classes. I lean towards yoga sculpt, HIIT Pilates, and the 90 min traditional. Restorative I enjoy, but unless I was an unlimited member I may not partake in. There's tons of parking. The women's locker room is pretty roomy and has some nice amenities if needed. Recommend it, if you're in the area.

When I moved to the area about 10 years ago, I started practicing vinyasa at YBD Wheaton, but…read morehaven't practiced in a few years. Recently I had a rare, coveted weekday sans children, so decided to treat myself to a yoga class. I still had an account that was easy to get back into when I signed up online for the single class. I normally do virtual yoga at home weekly, but decided to mix things up and do a Traditional Hot class, which I also haven't done in a few years. Before the actual class, I brushed up on the 26 poses. On the day of the class, I wasn't necessarily greeted warmly, and it seemed assumed that I was familiar with the studio and knew what I was doing. After introducing myself and explaining that I was new to the studio, the girl at the front desk was more friendly and welcoming. I also met Erin, the instructor for the Traditional Hot class, and she nicely showed me around. The class itself consisted of obvious regulars, which was interesting. I like that Erin gave clear instruction, correction, and tips both indirectly and directly (i.e. positioning support). Overall, I liked her as instructor and found her very informative, especially since Traditional Hot is not in my normal practice. Overall, I enjoyed the class and got a heck of a workout that I felt for days afterwards. The only things that I weren't a fan of was that she was very insistent on open eyes (I use yoga as a way to center and calm myself, and usually [unconsciously] close my eyes); she gave about 3 verbal reminders of open eyes during the practice. Also, she seemed to a little overtly correct me with some balancing poses that I was obviously struggling with. (I have Hallux Limitus [limited movement of my big toes] and degenerative arthritis in my feet). During the class, I continued persevering and modifying on my own, but was admittedly wobbly at times. I think that Erin was probably trying to be encouraging, but she was unaware of my physical limitations. I think that instructors might want to keep that in mind when interacting with students: someone might have limitations that are not readily apparent. I enjoyed mixing up my yoga practice with the Traditional Hot, but would probably continue to stick with YBD1 or 2 for any future classes I may attend.

I have been coming to YBD for many years now, and as a previous Lululemon employee I've been to a…read moreLOT of yoga studios. So, let me tell you a little bit about YBD and why I gave them 5 stars. First, the number of locations that you can pick from with your membership (or class pass) is fantastic. They have four locations: Wheaton, Downers Grove, Western Springs and Elmhurst. All four locations are comparable - they each have two studios, and sizeable locker rooms with shower facilities. Parking is usually easiest in Downers Grove or Elmhurst, though you can always find a couple spots at Western Springs and Wheaton as well. They both share lots with busy grocery stores, so they're usually pretty hopping! Classes range depending upon what you feel like - they offer Restorative, or yin, yoga in an unheated class, but the rest are all heated from 80 to 105 degrees. They also offer a Sculpt class which is a great mix of cardio and weight training along with yoga. Their level 1 and 2 classes are vinyasa flow, and are a fantastic workout! The studios are nice and dark, lit by candles, so very relaxing (and nobody can see you get all sweaty)! And at the end of each class, they bring you a lovely cool peppermint lavender cloth for your face to help you cool down, while you rest in savasana. They have SO many wonderful instructors, which to me is the most important part of yoga! These guys are the reason that I keep coming back, and that I actually can say that I LOVE to exercise! I'm sure if you try YBD you'll find your own favorites, but a few of mine that you can try are Lara, Colleen, Kara, Sarah P., Nadja, Heather, Shawn, Brandon, and Jenny T. They make yoga fun! If you're thinking of giving yoga a try, check Groupon - YBD often offers a 5 class pack for newbies. They also offer a free first week trial for newbies as well. No reason not to give it a shot - it just might change your life! :)

I'm looking at you, Eric. I just started working out at Goality Fitness after Eric, the owner and trainer, came to our school to see if he could work some fat teacher ____ out of us (my words, not his...naturally). He was not only willing to come to us, but he also gave a free class tailored to our needs to show us what he's got before we put money down. We have since decided to take it to the club since hanging from a hook in an elementary school's gym was causing me serious anxiety (Also, I'm pretty partial to my skull and my tailbone, thankyouverymuch) and there's a ton more cool stuff at Goality to boot. Case in point- TRX. Those contraptions can cause some major pain, but also work for the noobs too. Eric is really good about making modifications for everyone's needs and pushes you to where you should be...he caught on real quick that if he doesn't keep an eye on me, I will totally do the bare minimum. He's not letting that roll anymore. He also keeps it varied. WIN. Taking classes here is like having a personal trainer, but for a hell of a lot less money. After I can move my extremities again, I will totally go back.

I can only speak on the yoga offered here, because that was my only interest (nothing like it…read moreoffered in my area). It's reasonably priced, you get an intimate atmosphere and a practice that builds on itself. Something beyond what I refer to as 'soccer mom yoga', which is what you normally get at a gym. The instructor Marina makes sure you are being taken care of as a person and really believes in everything she teaches you. I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon something like this so close to home. There is a bevy of other stuff people seem to enjoy here that I see, as they leave the regular training, spent but happy before I show for class, or pumped and giggly coming in after me for the zumba. This whole operation is a courageous endeavor on Eric's part for the community, and deserves support. Happy it's here.
