I'll just say it. Inspire was not inspiring…read more I have been taking introductory Pilates-style classes around West Seattle to find the right studio fit and was excited to try Inspire. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The instructor did not appear particularly engaged or enthusiastic about teaching. Instructions were delivered quickly while walking around the studio, with no demonstrations on the equipment, which made it difficult to follow--especially for beginners. Additionally, the studio's acoustics made it challenging to hear or understand much of what was being said. Most of us were scrambling to keep up. I could see myself getting injured and probably won't be going back. The whole experience felt transactional and very uninspired.

I mentioned to a friend that I wanted to try a fitness class, and she invited me to a barre class…read moreat this studio- I honestly had no idea what to expect but the website said that it was suitable for all levels, so I threw on some fitted joggers and off I went! When I arrived I was told to set up for class with the same equipment the instructor set out and found a cozy spot near the door. The class wasn't full (which is apparently rare) so I had plenty of room to embarrass myself. Now I'm not an out of shape person, I do cardio 3 times a week at the gym and eat very well. But Miranda's barre class kicked my entire ass (in a good way!) Afterwards I did feel sore as expected of a rigorous hour long workout, but I still felt amazing. I slept like an actual baby and woke up still feeling great. Everyone at the studio itself was very friendly and Miranda was great. The flow of the class focuses on exhausting specific parts and muscles of the body one by one so you definitely get your moneys worth for a full body work out- not that $25 for the first week is unreasonable at all! I'll definitely be back, but note to self: Be sure to stretch a bit more next time!

I'm new to Pilates and am so glad I found Jenny and her clean, welcoming studio! After years of…read moresporadic membership at big box gyms, I was looking for a more appealing way to get back into fitness. Jenny is an amazing, patient and non-intimidating instructor who made me feel comfortable right away. I started with a few private lessons and easily transitioned into the beginner classes. I love the small class size (max 4) and I find the movements to be somewhat familiar from lifting weights, but more fluid with an emphasis on breathing, stretching and core. I definitely enjoy the mind-body element to Pilates that I didn't get in the gym, it feels like I am doing something good for my mental wellness as well as my physical health!

I was looking for a new yoga studio late last summer and was thrilled to see the announcement that…read moreDragonfly was opening with both the owner and several teachers I'd practiced with previously. Don't let the modest entrance fool you; it leads to a spacious and comfortable lobby with a couple of studio spaces and multiple restrooms/changing rooms. Each of the teachers brings a slightly different style to the studio, and no two classes are ever the same - they'll often ask for requests (e.g. tight hamstrings, hips, shoulders) before class and add a bit of extra emphasis based on yogis' feedback that day. They're all awesome with offering modifications to make your practice either more or less intense too, so each class can meet you exactly where you're at that day. Yes, they really do mean "you do you." Big Love for Dragonfly!

I've only been inside a few boxes (CrossFit aka CF uses the term 'box' for 'gym') and most are…read moreknown for grittiness or clean simplicity. This is a BEAUTIFUL space in West Seattle. The owner, Bethany, used to be an instructor at my current box; and I owe a great deal to her. Because of her knowledge and positive (yet constructive) feedback while I plowed through my first uncoordinated months of CF, I can say that I am fitter than I've been in years. Hell, I'm fitter than I was when I DID think I was fit. First, you should know that I had become a blob before I joined CF. Really. I got winded going up and down stairs and lugged around 50+ more pounds 1 1/2 years ago, so DO NOT WORRY about your fitness level. It's all scalable, and there are beginner classes to get you started if you're new. Boot camp on crack, is how I would describe CrossFit. You do team workouts, individual workouts but in a team environment, you go for personal records (PR's) from anything to running, to weights, to completing a particular workout in x amount of time. I don't think I've done the same exact workout in a year and half yet! Check out LOFT's website for their hours, fees and WODs (Workout of the Day) as I've only been here once. But, it is helpful for you to know that the entrance is in the alley BEHIND the building. (That poor consignment store lady; she was so friendly in directing people back around the building. I must remember to go and check out her store.) LOFT has lots of street parking around, and they have a small lot in the alley. This place has all the CF amenities you would expect, including a pretty high-up rope! Super-secret tip for any CrossFitter: always wear/bring long socks with you, in case of rope climbs and dead-lifts. No rope burns/scraped-up shins, k?) Aaaaand the people here are super-cool; the community, while growing, is small enough that you get to know people from different boxes all the time. It's how we grow the cult... ...Kidding. Despite what you've heard, you only have to sacrifice ONE baby goat to become part of a box. As I've said before, WOD ON!

I look around the studio and see a diverse array of women of all identities, and I love it. It is one of the things that keeps me coming back. I highly recommend barre3 West Seattle!

BEEARE!!! This place is racist and distributed against people like myself who are struggling and…read morewho ate not rich Seattleites like the rest of West Seattle. Hannah at the front desk knew about my many struggles financially and how I have been treated in Seattle as a Native American Activisf. She knew that I was struggling and that I am struggling financially and then I am poor and unemployed which I indicated numerous times and that I would only be able to do the co-pay. The physical therapist did not respond to me about urgent matters with my knee and feedback that I needed and really didn't answer any of my questions. Today I found out that they wanted me to pay all of my deductible and coinsurance directly to them which is very very strange and odd and disgusting business practice during a pandemic. She knew I had severe pain and that I was on my last leg since surgery is not an option for me and then I have this torn meniscus and really needed urgent help but she was yelling at me about the money and cared way more about the money than she cared about me and that is abjectly disgusting. I sleep well at night knowing that I care more about people than money and that if I were in her position I would always put the patients first. I cannot believe that they were demanding all this money upfront and they refused to work out some thing with me on my coinsurance and deductible. She kept saying I would get a bill. Well I don't care because I can't afford my bills. It was very elitist and disgusting during a pandemic that they were treating me this way. On top of that they refuse to work out any kind of payment arrangement with me knowing that I don't have any money. I refuse to pay what they demanded which was hundreds of dollars which is totally disgusting and unreasonable since I told her I could only pay the $50 co-pay. Meanwhile, when I was upset about what happened, Stephanie, the physical therapist came out and said she didn't like me being upset. Well too bad, when you discriminate against someone and refused to help and treat them then they are going to get upset. When I left and slam the door, I am very proud of that fact.

Earlier today I finished a 60-minute session with Kendal and I walked away better educated about neuromuscular reprogramming (NMR) and the benefits of helping 'dormant' muscles become an active contributor to your overall coordinated muscle movement. I've only had one session, but Kendal's approach did reflect what an NMR therapist ought to do given the research I did about NMR muscle testing. I've scheduled another session too. Overall, not a massage session, but I think NMR approach is the way to go to resolve a problem area that has always been a problem, but only recently (the last couple of years) has prompted me to find longer-lasting relief and increased mobility (i.e., ROM). Kendal is a great too!!! Explains what she is going to do and why and what I should feel in that particular area. Tips: Street parking only. You'll need to head to the back portion of the office building and head over to the elevator (opposite of the "Office" sign); you'll dial 219 on the touchpad by the elevator and Kendal will activate the elevator so you can take it to the second floor.
