I always wanted to try Pilates and my friend introduced me to studio 50 , we went to a mega 50…read moreclass together. Kerry was the instructor and I really enjoyed her class , so much that I booked her class again this past weekend . I was new to Pilates so she was really great the first class since it was only four of us she was able to pay a little more attention to my form etc which was very nice of her . I was impressed with how sore I was the following day , I work out 5-6 times a week with a trainer but this class really focuses on all those hard to reach areas like inner thighs , core . The studio is beautiful and very clean , the staff is warm and welcoming . I travel all the way from the north shore of Long Island to join these classes , that's how much I enjoy them ! Thank you studio 50 & Kerry ! You are awesome

From day one, they've been welcoming, supportive, and genuinely invested in everyone who walks through the door. It never feels intimidating. It feels like a community.

I have had the pleasure of working out with Gary, Jill, Alex, Bonnie and Angelo, each has a unique style that makes working out an amazing experience. In addition to a wealth of knowledge on training they actually care about the whole self and my well being! In addition to personal training they offer an AMAZING Saturday boot camp with Bonnie...she is amazing at making you feel great while challenging your abilities! If you need a personal trainer and want people that genuinely care and are nonjudgmental Elevate Fitness is for you!

CT Power Yoga is a truly special place - I was new to yoga in general and honestly quite skeptical…read moreof the whole thing beyond the chance for a sweaty work out - but the space that Aimee and Tim have created not only gives you a work out (and sweaty it is!) but also truly a wonderful community of teachers and others who attendee. The vibe is fun and energetic while still providing a sense of restoration and calming. I felt instantly welcomed when I first arrived. The classes are designed in a way that whether you are a beginner or someone that has done yoga forever - you are in the right place. In the 9 months or so that I have been going to CT Power Yoga I can feel myself expanding in the physical Yoga practice as well as connecting with myself and others better mentally. I truly fell in love with yoga - but really it was this place and this community - as I have tried 3 other studios while on vacation and left each one disappointed because it wasn't the same as I had back home. The formats of the classes are all a little different, some play music while others are more traditional and even once a week a class with hip-hop playing (trust me it just works). So try them all. And a big shout out to the teachers that work alongside of Aimee and Tim - they are a big part of why the place is great - with special shout outs to Marian and Dorian who are more than absolutely fabulous in all ways. So even if you think yoga isn't your thing, but are willing to keep an open mind, stop in for a class and you might find yourself very surprised!

The owner, Lorraine, is especially knowledgeable with work outs for those of us with back issues. She brought me from limited ability to being able to walk with confidence and strength. At 66, my core has never been stronger. During this difficult covid time she did virtual work so I could stay in shape. She is flexible with scheduling so I never have to miss a week if something unexpected comes up in my schedule. Her studio is clean and safe , with great equipment. I highly recommend this studio, and especially Lorraine.

I've been taking zumba classes at APE fitness for about a month already and let me just say that it…read moreis amazing. I was apprehensive to join a gym or committ to any type of fitness but I was ashamed at how out of shape I was. So I joined APE fitness in May and have been loving every class since then. The owner, Alba is just the sweetest. I took my first class with her and she is pure energy and fun. She eased me into the moves and now I can do what I never thought possible. Zumba is very fun and exhilarating. I walked out of my class last night dripping in sweat and i've lost about 15 pounds! It's worth your money and especially your time because you will love the fitness classes here. Everyone is very amiable and you won't feel uncomfortable working out with these friendly people. So come on in and let's zumba!

Definitely try out yogafreak (or just join monthly unlimited;)…read more The classes here are amazing with bright energy and passionate, knowledgeable instructors. My favorite part is the different types of classes you can take, so it's not just original hot yoga but other types as well along with HIIT of course! This makes it fun to switch it up and also take a couple of classes in a row if you wanted, since they schedule different ones back to back. Another hugeeeee plus for me is that they have early morning classes and late at night if you slept through the morning ones like I often do LOL (along with late morning/ mid day, early evening etc). Additionally, the staff is nice & welcoming and I oftentimes see instructors paying extra attention/TLC to newcomers If you're a hot room lover then deff come to Yoga Freak ASAP!!!!

This studio prioritizes rigid policy over customer care, and I want to be specific so others can…read moremake an informed decision before booking. Their late policy is absolute: arrive even one minute past your class time and you will be locked out and charged -- no exceptions, including unforeseen circumstances. They do not answer their phone and do not accept voicemail, so there is no way to reach anyone in real time if something goes wrong. If you have time blindness, executive function challenges, ADHD, Cptsd, or a highly sensitive nervous system, this studio is not designed with you in mind. It is not trauma-informed, and the environment does not accommodate neurodivergence in any meaningful way. For those who need consistency and predictability, it's also worth knowing they have modified the traditional hot yoga sequence -- so what you practice here may not be what you expect. The waitlist system is also poorly communicated; you may not know you've been moved from a class you reserved until it's too late to plan around it. Beyond logistics, the atmosphere feels cold and unwelcoming -- though I'll leave it to others to determine how much of that is the studio versus the region. This studio is BUSINESS FOCUSED rather than CUSTOMER focused, which contributes to the stressed, unfriendly state of the world today. There are wonderful yoga communities out there that lead with warmth and genuine flexibility. This one, in my experience, is not among them.
