I always say it's not a good workout class unless you hate your instructor a little bit. I booked a…read moreclass on Class pass after seeing Kiera's Tik Tok about what to expect from your first Mecka Fitness class. I thought this class would be a stretch for me since I'm not a runner whatsoever but I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to stand outside since no one was in the studio but I messaged the business on Instagram and they said someone was on the way. Kiera saved me from the Pittsburgh breeze and was so nice and welcoming. She walked me through all the equipment we would be using so I could feel comfortable. The gym also had lockers inside the bathrooms for each gender. The class was a mix of running/sprinting/jogging/walking and ski pulls, and weights. I feel the burn and I know I'm going to be sore for a few days. I also love the cold peppermint towel at the end. It's a nice touch. It was a great start to my day and I can't wait to be in Pittsburgh again to come back.

Some context: I am 23, and never complain or write reviews. I like to give the benefit of the doubt…read moreand I recognize growing business challenges. I tried the Rejoove by Mecka room for $40. After arrival, I noticed a class was in session, and it shares a wall with the contrast therapy room. The music shook the sauna panels and was too loud for me to even listen to my own music and/or read in peace. After about 15 mins, I left and asked for a refund/reschedule. I was told someone would be in contact. No one was, so I reached out myself, and was told no refunds since I used up a spot that someone else could have. Seems odd considering that the noise level was not communicated prior and part of a session is relaxation. I was offered a reschedule again after requesting a refund instead. Would not recommend giving your money to a place that is so careless with it. Thoughtless concept that is very clearly just an easy money grab.

I told myself that this summer I would become a yoga person, and SHPY is helping me to achieve that…read moregoal for myself. I cannot recommend this studio enough as a newbie to the practice (at 40, no less) for its approachability and overall commitment to its community and students. Stacey, the owner, teaches most classes. She will likely know your name by the second or third class, but she'll greet you with a welcoming smile from the moment you step in the door regardless of how many times you've been in the studio. Classes are fluid - quick to pick up the flow but usually include some variation each class to keep things interesting for those attending regularly. All of the teachers offer pose accommodations for those who aren't as far along in their practice or who are maybe working through an injury or disability. I've also really enjoyed classes with Ashley, who makes the best yoga playlists IMO, and Elizabeth, who offers hands-on adjustments (for those who opt in) which are both helpful and incredibly calming. If I can enjoy hot yoga as someone who loathes being hot and for whom sweat is overstimulating, anyone can. Each class is a welcome respite from the chaos of the world, and I can't recommend SHPY enough for that respite. The studio is LGBTQIA+ friendly and welcoming of everyone. Prices are pretty standard for yoga studios, but they also run specials on class passes frequently enough if funds are tight - following their IG seems to be the best way to keep up with any specials on offer. They also have pay-what-you-can nights on Tuesdays, beginner classes on Wednesdays, and gentle/restorative classes on Sundays. Overall, A++, 5/5 stars, would recommend.

The teachers include lighting adjustments and music well. The music is carefully chosen- not distracting. The 10 Class pass and the 20 class pass options make it budget- friendly. (Many studios don't even offer options like these.) ABOUT THE HEAT: If you're heat sensitive like me, I recommend skipping poses, or even entire sequences, and only do exactly WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE DOING, and not a single pose more. You may find that the heat starts to become a welcomed friend, instead of something to fight against.

I've been a member of barre3 in southpointe for about three years. I had a brief hiatus and with…read more100% certainty my physical and mental health suffered greatly! Firstly, these workouts are not a joke - they're tough! But the professionals who teach there are so amazing at helping everyone adapt to their body's needs. Some days you can push to the edge and some days you can't - you will be challenged at barre3 but never made to feel embarrassed or weak if you need a break or need to modify the flow. Secondly, the space is a major reason I continue with this particular studio, even driving from Pittsburgh for a bit to get there. It's open and inviting with loads of natural light! I looooove that. They have everything you'll need - clean towels, all the equipment, plus toiletries and showers etc. Lastly, each class ends with guided breathe work - just five minutes with the music soft and the lights off learning a breathing exercise to end the class. I can't tell you how many times this place, the people there and the workouts have lifted me out of some darkness. Specifically, the owner Katie, is hilarious and you can't be around her without feeling better afterward. Five hundred stars barre3!

I push myself to do every rep even when my muscles have had it, and I am only slightly sore the next day and completely recovered by day 2. The session always ends with adequate stretches to the muscles used most. I see a change in my body after just 2 weeks and I feel amazing. They change up every class so you never know what you're gonna get and you never get bored. Every instructor I have had so far has been a real pro. I highly recommend this to anyone who is generally physically healthy and wants to improve muscle tone and flexibility.
