Pre - COVID : I had…read morenever been to this yoga facility, and won a 10 day free pass from a school raffle. Even in the dead of winter, my best friends and I made a commitment to attending hot yoga sessions. When we arrived, we walked into the facility, and there were areas to place our belongings and shoes. The room we did yoga in was large, and had mirrors lining the walls. The classes were packed, so spacing our mats was hard, but we made room. Shows how popular it was! We began with beginner sessions and moved up to harder classes. I had a great time and loved how calm I felt after! We also took classes that were simple flow and stretch. I have not returned since COVID but I did enjoy my time at this facility! The instructors were respectful of my space and gave good tips for modifications.

Four years later, and Milwaukee power yoga is still just as legit. Especially as we move into the…read morecolder months, this place offers a brief almost mini tropical vacation from the brutal midwestern winters. It's a niche exercise facility obviously...you're basically coming there for hot yoga -- the regular class, slow flow, candlelight or beginner - all those are pretty self explanatory. They also do lots of workshops that are fun and generally on the weekends. Their sound system always seems on point- never too loud or too soft. Each teacher has their own style of playlist but I usually love all the music choices here. if you haven't take yoga classes (esp hot yoga classes) you may balk at prices but from going to other places, their prices are some of the most reasonable in the city. And if you're not sure and are new you can try the "10 days for $10" special where you can try out as many classes as you like in 10 daysfor 10$. It's hot in the studio (seems to go anywhere from the 80s to over 100)so bring a mat sized towel (and maybe a small one too)a long with your mat cuz you're probably gonna sweat! Don't have one? bring a beach towel - that works too! or rent or buy one from the studio. You can also rent or buy mats, and they sell other little accessories and water. Props for class are free for use. Only thing to remember is there's no showers-just changing rooms and bathrooms, and parking is pretty much street-only (with a lot of it being metered.) I'd highly recommend walking or biking. Namaste, yelpers! .

Visited Milwaukee to visit our friends and because my husband and I are thinking about moving here…read more We wanted to check out the local spots and since I'm into yoga, checked out YogaSix. First of all, I had an incredible time. One of the best experiences I've had at a studio to be honest! The owner Michelle was so warm and friendly when I first walked in. She answered all my questions and I immediately felt at home. At that time, I also met Tony (the instructed for the sculpt class I decided to try out). Great interaction and he was kind to show me around! Secondly, the facility/yoga studio was clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. It has a nice layout with showers and lockers to keep your things safe during your class. And last, the class was fantastic! It was interactive, encouraging, and really pushed me to keep up (while having lots of fun doing it). Highly recommend taking a class by Tony! GREAT STUDIO! I will definitely be signing up if we move here. Thank you for the great session YogaSix!

I did the Restore class as a ClassPass drop-in with Katie, and she is AMAZING! I forgot to bring a…read moreyoga mat, but thankfully they have mats for rental for only $3. Parking was difficult, but the studio itself is very large, clean, and a great locker room too. I REALLY enjoyed the restore flow - more focused on holding stretches than a strength based or quick flow. It's exactly what my body needed and I plan on going back for more!

I had such a great experience at HOTWORX in Milwaukee! It's definitely a different kind of workout,…read morewith a different variety of exercises and machines all in infrared saunas. I was a little nervous about the heat, but they keep them right around 125 and if that's too hot, you can always adjust accordingly to what would make you more comfortable. The best part is that you don't have to work out for as long. I did a bike workout for 12 minutes and after waiting 15 minutes for my Pilates, I had already burned off another 85 active calories just by standing there. The staff is so friendly and great at explaining things. Wade is super attentive and really walked us through the entire process. The best perk is that it's way cheaper than most places you would go for classes and it's unlimited with 24/7 access. I would definitely recommend giving it a try and your first class is free!

In MKE for a conference and dropped in for a 60 minute 26/2 class…read more Super accommodating and friendly team and terrific instructor (Sue, who was subbing in this class). Good sized room could easily have accommodated ~30 people; we had about 10. Room was appropriately hot and appropriately humid. Always interesting to see how different places have different variations on 26/2 -- this was a slightly different variation on the theme from what I'm accustomed to -- some postures done 2x when the "standard" 60 minute does them only once, so there was a little less space in and between postures, but it was a well taught class. They also offer a variety of other classes including power vinyasa, yin, and others (check the website!) Studio had mat and towels for rent for visitors like me. Showers available. Would absolutely return if back in this town with some time. Bravo.

Invivo Wellness is great! I unfortunately only go on (some) Saturdays because I am in grad school…read moreon many weekends. However, they are on Class Pass so I am able to book my classes for here right through the app. The class that I go to on Saturday mornings is the strength circuit course with Robert. It is hands down my favorite class in Milwaukee. It is so tiny and intimate so you feel very comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and getting minor corrections to better improve your form/strength. Every Saturday I go, the class is different in some senses. There is always a TRX, floor and mat part to the class but the movements are not the same. The class is only 45 minutes so it goes by quite quickly. Robert is a terrific instructor and can provide help to men/women of all ages. If you are part of Class Pass or belong to this studio already, that class is a must!!

Thanks to a Meet Milwaukee/yelp event, myself and about 10 fellow yelpers got to sample a free class in their Milwaukee-river-overlooking yoga studio. I've heard many great things from different people over the years, and since it's in the neighborhood, I'm not really sure how I'd never been! But I was glad to check it out. The facility is super clean, modern and new. They have a workout area, said yoga and (I think) offer massage and other therapeutic services. The yoga studio was really nice. Lots of props available, a great sound system, lots of windows on the river and a class that was an easy enough intro for a yoga newbie, but our instructor suggested plenty of modifications if you have been doing yoga longer too. Looking online too, they offer different kinds of yoga classes, so I'm thinking its just a matter of finding the style you like best. Thanks and Namaste:)!

I hate exercise. I arrived on Dee's doorstep, on the verge of double knee replacement, and in pain…read more I'd had previous surgery on both knees and was just past the expected date for knee failure and artificial knee installation. My goal was to strengthen my muscles in preparation for surgery, and moderate the pain if possible. I continued with 2 sessions each week, haven't yet needed surgery, and am not in pain. This is not a cure, but being able to delay surgery is money in the bank for me. Now, it's another year later, and I'm still showing up twice a week. Dee helped me with my recovery from a broken leg and serious orthopedic surgery this last year. I have a lousy pattern going here. I'm extremely limited in the progress I've made, compared to normal folks. Dee has been able to accommodate my meager progress the entire time. My doctors were not encouraging when I started Pilates. I'd tried Yoga, repeatedly got injured and was unable to recover. Physical Therapy didn't help. So, It was purely experimental when I bought a trial package and dragged my sorry self to try Pilates. I can't imagine they want more customers like me, but I'd recommend her services without reservation.

My initial reason for signing up for classes at the studio was to refine my yoga practice by going…read moreto a place where the primary focus is on proper alignment and positioning of the body. My experience at Riverwest Yogashala was very negative. Everyone, no matter what your yoga background (unless you've studied Iyengar before) is required to take the 12 week intro class. I found myself mixed in with people with absolutely no experience, which I felt held back the progress of the group. Every single thing had to be explained in minute detail. Splitting the class to absolute beginner and people with experience in other yoga styles would have been much better. I also found the instructor and her assistant to be very self-absorbed. Before classes started I made a point of telling the instructor that I have some deformities of the foot. For a studio that says it prides itself on it's staffs knowledge of the body, I was horrified when the instructor looped a yoga strap around my big toe and MANUALLY tried to rotate it into "proper" alignment. It incident was both inappropriate and embarrassing, to say the least! The studio space itself is spacious, however in my opinion, very dirty. There always seemed to be a dust bunny hopping around the room or a hairball of someone else's hair drifting across the floor. Because it is on a main through fare and not air conditioned, in the summer the street noise from the open windows or the noise makes it impossible to hear the teacher. Students are also often required to gather around the instructor to watch her demonstrate the post, people were constantly standing on and walking across other people's mats which I found to be unsanitary to say the least. Sorry to say, I would not recommend this place.

Holding things like Community Gift rotating every other sunday. Its free or donation based for hour and a half Iyengar yoga class. This is a nonprofit yoga center. They also have Restorative yoga classes on rotating friday. I really like this class i place lots of physical demands on my body and i really enjoy restoring my mind and body back to a peaceful state. Its important and i think everyone needs to take an hour and a half out twice a month to put everything back in alignment. also this class is $5 again all about making the practice of yoga an affordable and awesome experience. You will find this studio is welcoming of everyone and all abilities. They will work with you to make sure its right and wont let you fall behind. I cant say enough about this place really. Its the least pretentious yoga studio i have yet to go to (we all know what i mean) plus with the cozy apartment like feel it is like all the things i love about river west in 1 room. Peaceful, happy, cohesive, art, etc. There is absolutely no excuse for yogi not to check this place out. :)

Danceworks is a wonderful non-profit dance organization that does some pretty cool stuff for the…read morecommunity like their Mad Hot Ballroom (kids ballroom) and Mad Hot Tap programs. They are also a dance company and offers performances, as well as a school that offers a pretty fantastic range of classes for both kids and adults. I've taken adult ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, tap, African and ballroom dance classes at Danceworks. They also offer some fitness based classes like Zumba and Barre Workout classes as well. This org hosts a great variety of classes and has so many performance opportunities for both professional and developing dancers. I would recommend a regular end of session survey for regular attendees to be able to review the class and instructor in order to help develop newer teachers and to understand what clients are expecting or looking for from the class. One area of improvement would be better follow up from staff. Sometimes it takes more than one or two attempts to hear back regarding an inquiry. Overall I am very happy with Danceworks, an important local institution here in Milwaukee for the arts, education, culture, youth development and adult enrichment. Get out and see a performance or take a class, you will not regret it!
