I have also been able to attend classes by Wesley, Lee, Michelle, Tate and Bijou, who are all masterful in their own right. The staff behind the counter is super friendly.

I really love this studio and all of their classes, which is why this was so disappointing. I was…read morepretty grossed out walking into a recent class and noticing the room hadn't been cleaned or sanitized after the previous session. Everyone was expected to lay their mats directly on top of other people's sweat, and the weights were still wet and sticky. For a studio at this price point, I would expect much better sanitation practices. Clean equipment and floors aren't just about appearances, they're important for helping prevent the spread of germs and ensuring members feel comfortable. I hope the studio makes cleanliness a higher priority moving forward because otherwise it's a fantastic place to work out.
