As an instructor, she cracked jokes throughout the class, which I thought was a really great way to make less experienced participants feel less self conscious. That might not be everyone's style, but I thought it was a nice change up from more straightforward, serious tone you might find in other studios. Also, she did a great job of breaking down more complex moves into easy steps to help students nail the form. The flow itself was a great balance of restful & simple moves, and more challenging moves -- but always perfectly paced, and never too much at one time. Great for beginners, and a good mix between strenuous and restorative. Also, it was just plain fun. Overall, this was a great time and quality guidance, and I would definitely be open to taking more classes with Syracuse Yoga. Would recommend anyone who is considering them to take the chance and try them out!

I needed to stretch it out while in Syracuse for work. I was staying downtown and decided to join a…read moreLunch Hour Vinyasa class at O Yoga Studio on Friday afternoon. I walked there and will admit it was a bit hard to find for an out of towner like me. It's located within a warehouse type building on the fourth floor. There's parking around back for those that can drive. Once found, you enter a super serene space. There are two studios that they hold classes in, one larger than the other. The staff was super kind and showed me around beforehand. Unlike some studios, they have plenty of mats which you can use for free but you may want to bring your own towel. The class itself was geared towards beginners. It was really slow and didn't leave me feeling very energized like one might hope. It could have just been this particular class, so that's why I still give it four stars. It's $17 for a drop in, and their $90 unlimited monthly price is a great deal! Overall, I really enjoyed the general vibe of this place. It's everything I would hope for in a yoga studio. I just wish I had more time to try out other classes to find the right speed I was looking for.

Lissa and Thrive In Healing/The Syracuse Yoga Collective are among my favorites. I know that whenever I attend, I'm in for an easy, relaxing, rejuvenating flow. The energy is always good and the mood is always welcoming. I recently enjoyed a candlelight rooftop yoga session on a downtown rooftop on a particularly warm night in October (what a treat!) and it was so restoring and full of community and self-love. Plus, fun - there was a DJ! Lissa tends to end her lessons with a sound bath, which adds an extra element. Looking forward to even more experiences!

I decided to do this since I am a big fan of getting some daily workouts in and I'm so happy with this facility. Firstly, the staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. I really enjoyed a walking in everyday and being greeted with such warmth. Secondly the facilities are very clean, from the main lobby to all the workout areas and even the locker rooms. Finally, this branch has anything you might need: they are so well equipped! There are indoor tennis courts, they have an indoor field of turwhere people practice soccer and lacrosse, a variety of weight lifting equipment from dumbbells, weight machines, squat racks, bench presses, and also a variety of cardio machines (treadmills, elliptical, bikes, stairmaster)... I even saw a punching bag and some jump ropes around the weightlifting areas! Literally anything you could want, I'm sure you can find here, except maybe an indoor pool. I appreciated how respectful and considerate everyone who comes here was! Even the youngest members of the Y seemed very polite and mindful of themselves, something that always makes a gym experience better. I absolutely love coming here during my visit and will definitely take advantage of the student policies while I'm in school moving forward since it is a good way to access workout equipment while in town. Perfect facility for a variety of workouts/sports in Manlius--makes me wish I lived here!! Would recommend to anyone, sincerely!

I was first introduced to Glow about three years ago through their free community classes. My first…read morethought: A juice bar-boutique-studio that just offers hot yoga? I can tell you as an unlimited member now for two years, my first thought couldn't have done Glow any less justice. Firstly, there's much more than "just hot yoga" (aka Power Flow), the studio offers Yin, Restorative, Slow Flow, and Foundational Classes (great for beginners as well as seasoned yogis to improve their practice). However, as a Power Fow enthusiast myself, I can be the first to tell you, I never get "bored" of doing the "same thing". Glow's Baptiste style yoga is a moving mediation, a different experience in your body everyday you practice, and a distinct vibe with every instructor who leads you. Glow is more than a great place for sweat or stretch, it's a place where you're greeted with smiling faces, can find community, and walk through the doors as you are and leave feeling better than you did coming in. I go everyday not only because I get to go, but because this place has become an integral part of my self care -- both physical and mental.

I want to share my disappointing experience with Randy, the owner of Metro Fitness. I moved In July…read moreand was committed to investing in my health before starting a really stressful job. In July, I purchased a $700 pass for 10 personal training sessions as part of a "summer special", with the promise that a master's-educated trainer would be available. Unfortunately, that trainer never started working at the gym, and I was not informed of this until late September--months after waiting and following up. Despite knowing my schedule, Randy repeatedly suggested trainers who were already fully booked. He then set me up with an unqualified intern who worked at the front desk. When I expressed my concerns, he acknowledged that this wasn't acceptable and offered Pilates as an alternative. However, that turned out to be another false promise, as no sessions or teachers were actually available. After months of back and forth and empty promises, I requested a refund, as it was clear I was not receiving the services I had paid for. Randy initially agreed but then delayed the refund, citing financial excuses like needing to wait until after the "metro gala." By November, I still hadn't received my money, and he stopped responding to my calls and texts entirely. Now it is mid January. This has been a frustrating and disheartening experience, especially as someone in a low-paying position after completing graduate school. I share this in hopes of warning others about this gym and Randy's business practices. If anyone has advice on handling situations like this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. As an aside, I had a bad experience with a trainer there who was really creepy and asked extremely personal questions. Most of the gym is dedicated to the personal training space. There are never wipes or cleaning supplies convenient or restocked to clean equipment after use.
