More about fitness than yoga. CrossFit/TRX program took over beautiful yoga space and yoga hasn't been the same. Fitness training is great here, but for yoga go across the street to MindSpace. read more

I am no gym junkie...this is the first I've ever joined, so my perspective is possibly skewed. I like this gym because it's not full of weigh lifting grunting guys wearing tank tops and dropping weights. In fact, there's a lot of times when I'm the only one there. The people are friendly and will help you learn how to use different machines. Some memberships can also pair you with a personal trainer. My only reason for not giving five stars is the yoga schedule. I'm not an early riser, but I also can't get out of work in time to make to the 5:30 classes. Dogma people if you read this...add a 7:00pm class! read more

The yoga classes here are challenging and outstanding. Welcoming to newcomers and regulars both. The teacher had a great flow as well as fun and differernt ideas to keep it interesting. Class was crowded no doubt because this studio knows yoga. Highly recommend. read more

Before moving from Ohio to Arizona. I spent lots of time at a high-end athletic clubs - typically 5-7 times a week. My daily routine was a spinning class paired with a personal trainer session. Now I only visit gyms when traveling to a cold climate. Over the years, I've been to dozens of gyms and hundreds of spinning and yoga classes. Dogma ranks in the top 1% among my key measures which are cleanliness, staff and class quality. I want to see that a staff member is assigned to wipe down equipment throughout the day (it's stunning how many 'premium' gyms don't do this...) and at Dogma it's routine - check mark. As for staff, a friend works directly with Rod so I had met him before (outside of Dogma) and was impressed. Everyone else I've met since then at Dogma has been equally friendly and professional, but relaxed. Finally, the the spinning classes are well run, with good music and well-maintained bikes. read more

I had the chance to visit Dogma last November and ride with Rod. He helped me address an IT band issue and provided some great exercises for it. I've met a lot of Trainers, PTs and kinesiologists over they years and Rod is one of the most knowledgeable and professional I've come across. read more

Six weeks ago I had the opportunity to ride with Dogma owner Rod C. and ask his advice on how to prevent debilitating cramps during and after hard efforts on a road bike. After a brief discussion about my experience and medical history and some simple movement tests, he quickly surmised a likely imbalance caused by overusing the quads and under utilizing the glutes. He guided me through a set of exercises to strengthen the underused muscles and also recommended some changes to my pedaling technique. After just two weeks of doing the exercises and making the subtle change in technique, I began to feel a dramatic change in my strength and endurance. After a month of following his advice, I definitely felt a breakthrough in my cycling performance that I've waited 3 years for! And the best news is that I haven't had a cramp since! To me, Rod is a genius. He has the professional riding experience, academic knowledge, and most importantly, the eye and natural astuteness to help anyone looking to improve their cycling. read more

I hated working out before I joined Dogma Athletica and dreaded going to the gym. Once I started at Dogma last October, I was quickly able to get back to my high school weight, improve my immune system and start looking forward to the daily classes at Dogma. Now I get upset if I have to miss one (it ruins my whole day). Getting fit at Dogma has enabled me to maintain a very healthy pregnancy and the trainers are great at modifying exercises to accommodate each stage in my pregnancy. I highly recommend Dogma Athletica to anyone who prefers a less-crowded gym experience with more personal attention and top-of-the-line equipment read more

I have been a member of Dogma for around 10 years now and I love it!! After living in LA and doing the enormous and loud 5 level gym multiplex, Dogma is the perfect small town gym. It has excellent trainers who cater to each individual's needs, all the right equipment, a clean, quiet, and fun environment, and my favorite classes!!! Try Stacey, Brian and Laura's classes and your body will thank you! read more

Dogma Athletica is a one-of-a-kind athletic club. The people are fantastic. Rod Connolly, the owner, is very knowledgeable about bike racing, diet, and fitness. He helps clients put those three elements together to reach whatever goals they are trying to reach...whether it be bike racing or just losing a few pounds or anything in between. The other trainers are equally trained in their fields, such as yoga, pilates, weight training, overall fitness, etc. And there is even a spa to enhance the overall experience. read more
