I attended several classes at Homegrown Power Yoga during a recent business trip…read more The studio space is large, open and full of natural light thanks to all of the windows in the front of the space. The space also has a bit of a giant "living room" or "home studio" vibe because of the sitting area which was staged in front of the studio's largest windows. Allison (the owner) mentioned she was aiming for this "home-like" vibe during one of her classes, and I think she completely nailed it. Sometimes when I attend a studio out of town, I feel like an outsider. But I felt like a member of the tribe right away at Homegrown which was wonderful. I also was happy to see men and women of all different colors, shapes, and practice levels in the studio. It truly felt like a judgement free zone. As far as the classes I attended, to me they were reminiscent of Baptiste style classes. This was a bit of a challenge for me because I ordinarily practice vinyasa or Ashtanga. But as I practiced, I noticed that I had a little extra time to explore some postures further and to modify which isn't always the case in vinyasa. I think the classes I attended at Homegrown would suit just about every level. If you are looking for a great place to begin or further your practice, Homegrown is that place. Thank you for welcoming me and I hope to visit again soon.

Yurie was very kind, introducing herself and explaining the class to us before staring. She offered modifications throughout the class and as a first timer we followed well + felt comfortable. We received a follow up after about signing up for classes regularly but I explained we couldn't due to our schedules/distance and this was kindly responded to/respected which we appreciated too! Would definitely do another pop in/if my distance to the studio changes I'd definitely go regularly. The studio was clean and parking was easy too.

YogaSix has been such a great experience. The instructors are fantastic, the studio is beautiful…read moreand well-equipped, and everyone I've met has been incredibly welcoming. I had never tried sauna yoga before, but now I'm hooked. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. One thing I really appreciated is that your first three classes are free if you complete them within a week, which is a great way to see if it's a good fit. After that, you can purchase class packs or sign up for a monthly membership. I received a 10-class pack as a gift and may very well sign up afterward. The classes are on the higher end price-wise, but honestly, the way you feel when you walk out after each class makes it worth it. My only wish is that there were more shorter class options. They do offer a great 45-minute express class, but it's only available in the afternoon. A few more 30-minute or express options throughout the day would make it even easier to fit yoga into a busy schedule. Highly recommend!

The staff is so kind and helpful (Wendy is amazing) and the instructors are great at motivating you during classes, telling you good job by name and pushing the class during the difficult moves to keep going. I can definitely tell that what they say on the website is true, the classes don't get easier, you just get stronger. They have classic Pure Barre classes, cardio (Empower) classes and a more challenging classic class Reform. The only thing I wish they had was more Empower classes.

Boy has this place blew my expectations out of the water. Yes I feel very safe attending classes, I'm loving the classes, I just moved up to take an Empower class last night and big did it work all the things. The instructors are awesome, encouraging, engaging, and motivating. The atmosphere of the classes are invigorating. Everyone is so very nice, from the gals at the reception to the ladies taking the classes with you. I have found a great place to continue my fitness journey. So glad to have found Pure Barre in Gainesville, Va

The last time I attended CorePowerYoga was pre-pandemic times (IYKYK) and was an avid yoga in my…read morepast life (pre-kids!). I logged into my account and realized that my previous class package was grandfathered in and I still had classes to use! Since I don't like to waste things, I've decided to use them up at this location since it's closer to home. I'm a big fan of their Hot Power Fusion (think low intensity poses in 100+ degree heat and high humidity) and Yoga Sculpt classes (high intensity yoga mixed with strength training and weights). Most instructors have been great at cueing and some playlists are better than others but either way, I'm getting a good workout in so I can't complain too much. They also offer C1 which is a beginner/intro to yoga class as well as C2 which is an intermediate to advanced yoga class (think inversions and more fast paced flows!). You can pre-book your class through their app or online to guarantee your spot. However, I would recommend coming into the studio at least 10-15 minutes beforehand because depending on what class it is, it can get pretty packed and you want ample time to setup your space and get a good spot. They have mats for rental as well as boxed water for purchase in case you forget your water. Although I've learned how to workout independently, I do miss the sense of community in a live class as well! This location is in Fairfax Corner near the Potbelly. You'll have to enter through the double doors and go upstairs to the studio.

I recently got back into CorePower and am really enjoying it!…read more My favorite class is Yoga Sculpt, a combination of hot yoga, cardio, and weights. Bring a towel because you'll definitely sweat! I also like CorePower Strength X (CSX), a 45-minute strength training class with cardio and circuits. It's quick, effective, and leaves me feeling sore in the best way. Parking is easy in the mornings, with two-hour spots nearby and plenty of spaces by the movie theater.

Went here on Saturday as a private event with some community groups I work with. The staff was kind…read moreand blocked off the businesses hours to ensure we got privacy (this was a Muslim sisters event so it was hijab friendly since they put down the shades for us and allowed us to cover the doors for the event). The space is small when you enter and see the desk and apparel, but there was enough space for us to bring in additional table (we had someone come make a grazing table for after the class, so this is great if you have an event and need a snack table afterwards). BUT once you get inside the room, its quite large and spacious! Because of the 14 people (capacity) attending our session, the staff took their time to check everyone in, and gave us our full hour of pilates despite starting late. I loved that the class wasn't very basic and spent doing stretches the entire time - it was definitely a work out, and Joyce checked on everyone's form and gave each and every one of us the proper attention needed while making sure we were challenged. She educated us about the types of classes offered and seemed very passionate :) The staff is all women and this location is quite far out my way, but I had a lovely time! I'm hoping to be able to return and have my free intro class since we paid for the private event. Also there are restrooms in the back and equipment is cleaned between sessions. I'd recommend!

Freda is a good Pilates teacher, and I enjoyed my time in her classes. However,I believe her…read morebusiness practices leave a lot to be desired. I took beginner reformer classes with her during the worst part of the pandemic when she had few students, I think usually 4 for her only in-person beginner class on Saturday mornings. I usually purchased a block of 10 classes.Good for 3 months, although with the pandemic as well as her missing classes she was good about making up classes missed. However in the spring when my son began began playing soccer I couldnt make all the classes. And I guess by now her classes had started to get more full. So when I had a break from soccer I tried to register, called her and found out she would no longer honor the 5 remaining sessions I had paid for, nor the remaining mat classes. She said I could have attended the advanced class she held during the week. I had actually tried one of these classes only to be called out by her during the class, informing the other members that they were getting an easier workout due to my presence. After that I no longer felt comfortable attending this class. Anyway, make sure you either never miss a class or get in writing what the terms for makeup classes are before signing up.

When I first moved to Fairfax I struggled to find the right pilates studio that worked for me. I…read morewas used to working out in a small intimate setting with a dedicated instructor. I tried several places and finally stumbled upon Esenyls Pilates through a Groupon. I figured since the deal for reformer classes was great that it would be worth a try. After my first class I knew I was coming back because of the instructor and the small group setting. It was perfect! I love the fact that even in small group settings Freda pays attention to each of her clients and makes sure they are in correct form. Her prices are better than any of the other studios I visited in the area! Pilates is great for the body and it's so important to have a good instructor. That is why I LOVE coming to Esenyl's. I can feel the difference in improvement in my core strength and balance. When I come in after work I come in with the look of stress and major tension, but I leave class feeling like I just had a full body massage. We take the time to stretch in every class and work on troubled spots. There's even a stretching class that's absolutely AMAZING! I say that because my body felt so good at the end of the class and slept like a baby that following night. If you're looking for a really good place for pilates or yoga, Esenyl's is the place to be.
