I was looking for a local studio to try aerial yoga with a friend. I saw the previous yelp reviews…read moreof customers having a bad experience with someone from the studio, but I thought it may have been a one off event and wanted to give them a try. Since their website address leads to a broken link I reached out on facebook messenger. I used one of Facebooks canned responses to ask 'Do you have any promotions?' and the response was 'Never. I find that kind of model disgusting'. Didn't know asking if they have a promos was such a negative question and I asked them to elaborate, but have not gotten a response. I'm still trying to figure out why my questions was so bad? (Attached screenshot)

Wow, my abs have not been this sore in a while! I had heard about Knotty Yoga through the aerial…read moregrapevine and decided to give it a chance when one of Meetup groups planned a meetup here. I took the intro class that was specially priced at $19. For an hour and a half, it was an incredible deal that I could not pass up...and it was more than worth it! There were about 18+ people in the class and we started with a warm up on the silks. Afterwards, we watched Mason and 2 other instructors demo on the rope, silks, and lyra respectively. We then learned a few things on the silks and did a quick stretch of the upper body. The verdict? The warmup is NOT a beginner warmup. There's lots of balancing of the upper body on the arms or forearms while the legs are held up by the silk apparatus. As the body is balancing, it is moving forwards, backwards, and twisting side to side. For me, the warmup was great and challenging, but I could see it being difficult for a beginner. Vivian was the instructor on the silks. I found her explanations and demonstrations thorough as I had previously learned one of the tricks at another studio but had not understood it fully until Vivian explained it another way. We were learning how to climb the silks and even though there was heavy emphasis on the use of the legs, I didn't hear any guidance about relieving any tightness in the forearms or the hands during the instruction. And in the cool down/stretching, there was no focus on these parts of the body at all. For the cool down, we paired up and all we did was twist the upper body while pulling on each others arms. Time was up but I wished that there would have been more time for more thorough stretching. Now I realize that there were a lot of people in the class and it was an intro class so I am probably calling out personal particulars, but I was really impressed with the overall vibe of the studio. I like their whole hybrid exercise modality idea. The instruction was awesome. The studio is a great space and I am especially looking forward to taking future classes in trapeze and lyra. Lastly, I find the pricing options a great value.

This seems like the place everyone goes to for gymnastics on the Eastside. The parking lot is…read morehorrendous so usually there's a lot of drop-offs and kids running so drive carefully around the area! The registration can be difficult as well with obtaining your desired times. The do offer makeup sessions which is wonderful as gymnastics classes aren't cheap. They hardly have anyone picking up the phones so email/in-person may be your best bet and even then emails can take a day or two and there isn't always someone there at the front desk for in-person chats. There are some instructors that aren't gymnasts themselves. For the younger classes, they hire anyone that is interested in teaching but may not have any gymnastics experience at all.

They stood in a corner (read far with hands in pocket) and only gave oral instructions. I never saw them spotting, helping, or showing the kids on how things are done. I have never seen any sport being taught that way. We moved from another city where the coaches were hands-on and always guiding, showing, and teaching the movements. I am not sure if all coaches are the same but our experience with this particular coach wasn't pleasant at all and we did not see any improvement in our child.

I am personally baffled to be yelled at for being on the wrong side. We were doing rows and…read moreobviously I'm going on both sides and ended up on the wrong side when we moved movements and switched dumbbells. Fadil yelled at me and took several dumbbells out on the correct side to make a point physically (and didnt even put them back at any point and I had to put them away and slowed down the next person). If you want to be the side police tell me what side to start on otherwise I am not sure anyone deserves to be chastised at when at the gym especially someone on their second class with you. Honestly my bad for being on the wrong side and I didn't know you guys took that so seriously but there was plenty of room for the other benches to get to their dumbbells and I in no way hindered anyone from moving onto different movements. My bad but I would never chastise a customer on their second class with you. Additionally as I felt shamed in a gym class and was aggravated I felt like livestock as he clapped at us on the treadmill like herders do with animals. The first class I took was fine but the speakers are too loud and you guys do not guide movements/changes well. Maybe I have higher expectations than the Bellevue area is used to but this was just a horrible experience. Coming from gyms in Scottsdale after a move for careers we are trying to find our new home gym and I am just so disappointed by the class styles and coach quality. But I guess its hard to beat the gyms in Scottsdale unfortunately. I just never expected to be yelled at. I hope to find a different gym in the area and if I ever do take classes here I hope to never have to take his classes again.

The instructor did a great job giving options for everyone's pace and offering slight adjustments. The infrared was really cool because it heats up your skin but not the air, so I was sweating a ton but breathing in room temp air. I loved this! So much more enjoyable to me than other hot yoga classes. I felt amazing and refreshed after and am looking forward to attending another class!

The hot tub is not always hot which is concering from a health code standpoint - last time it was quite lukewarm actually, and we even saw someone temp check it and do nothing about it..? They offer classes but not a lot of time options (especially for a work day), and classes fill up really fast and are too packed so I stopped going. You need to get there 20 min early to really claim a spot. So with all of this, their memberships seem to be way too expensive... if you just want to go to the gym, why is the cost almost 100 for a person? It's not a fancy luxury gym - its a family gym that caters to families and kids - not other people that don't fall in these categories.

i have been going to this ymca around 1-2 times a week for the past year or so. i think it's…read moreawesome and i've really relied on it. it's definitely not perfect, but it's helped me out in so many ways first of all, they provide financial assistance based on income, and i only have to pay half the amount for a membership, which REALLY helps me out and keeps me here bc gym memberships can get so expensive fr!! there is literally no better deal than here--i'm never leaving i am SO grateful for their kids zone. i wish it were open for more hours of the day, but i understand only being open for the times with the most traffic. as a busy, working single mom, it's really a big help that i can drop off my kiddo at the kids zone and go work out. it gives me the space and time i need to recharge and focus on myself before i go back into mom mode i will say that i feel like the kids zone might be understaffed or at least the staff members who ARE there usually seem exhausted. i feel like there's usually a LOT of kids there, so the workers aren't able to carefully look after each kid, which is understandable, but they frequently text/call me during my workout to say that my son is being too rowdy, and i need to come and either talk to him or just stop my workout and take him out completely. it makes me wonder if it's true that my son just purposely pushed another kid unprompted and needs to leave right away or if something happened that could have just been a teaching moment from the counselors there. i feel like, with so many kids, the staff probably aren't able to really take their time with the kids, which definitely makes sense but it is sort of frustrating to have to suddenly cut my workout short bc a of call from the kids zone. the kids zone is great tho there's a separate area for babies and toddlers with all sorts of toys, and there's a bigger area with bigger fun equipment for the bigger kids. i often see the workers holding the tiniest babies, which would make me feel good as a baby mom (my son is 3 y/o now) i will say that the general atmosphere and the vibe of the people at the ymca is mostly old people, tired and burnt out adults (both members and staff), or hectic families with children. i've been to other gyms that were full of young people who looked like they had a lot of spirit for their bright futures, and there was a lot of positive energy in the air, and this does not feel like that haha. if going off people's energy around you is important to stay motivated to work out, this might not be it for you there is something about the people here... a lot of times, there's someone on the stationery bicycle who's watching a video with the volume way up, or someone's on the stairmaster and talking loudly on their phone, or they're making distracting grunting noises on the weight machines. at one of my other gyms, there were signs on the walls about gym etiquette that i wished were here :( it's fine if you have your headphones in and just ignore everyone tho i love that there are so many different classes and events for kiddos and families either for free with a membership or with a reduced price. it's so much easier registering for different kids programs here than having to hunt them down one by one and drive all over town i have also tried a lot of the fitness classes, and i have to say that literally all of the teachers have just not had a very encouraging attitude. some of them are very get-in-and-get-out, some are very strict and hold you to a high standard, and some have an intimidatingly dark sense of humor. i've had some other fitness instructors in the past for various classes, and i really like the energetic, positive, encouraging, uplifting fitness coaches. here at the ymca, i've done chair yoga, pilates, tai chi, barre, and strength training, and literally all those teachers just did not seem happy doing their jobs. i will say, though, that the kids basketball coaches were awesome. maybe they just save all the excited, positive teachers for the kids programs i also think it's great that there are so many programs for active older adults. there seems to be a good community of older folk here, and that's cool to see mmm i think that's all my thoughts haha
