Moreover, even if the class is full they make sure to touch base with everyone and coach them, which really helps improving! In addition, the community is inclusive and welcoming, and will make you feel welcome whether it is your 1st or 100th workout.

If I were to put myself in a box, I'd say I'm typically a yogi who periodically thinks "ok, let's…read morebe open minded about other options" and dabbles in other fitness, and then in this case immediately regrets dabbling when she is sore for the next five (FIVE!) days. But the good kind of sore? I took Emily's 7:30 am boot camp class and while the playlist was straight fire, my thighs were also on fire. We were a small group, so we were able to all get personal attention on form. Emily had laid out what we were going to do and made use of the timers, so I didn't have to count down the seconds myself. We used lots of different equipment (kettlebells, weights, jump ropes, ergs) and it made the 45 minutes go by a lot faster than I usually find at these types of classes. The space is huge, literally an open box, with lots of equipment. It seems some people just stop by and use the equipment, and they also have classes. 10 packs come out to $14 a class and 20 packs $12. They also have a 21 days for $49 pack for new members (which is a great deal) and other student and military discounts. 3x a week is $90 and (this is how they get you at the Movie theater with popcorn sizes) for only an extra $15 you can get unlimited (with 6 month commitment). For a bit extra you can get all access passes. But before you box Open Box into the Crossfit box, check out the upstairs yoga studio! Unlike many gyms where the yoga class is in the same room and its very difficult to feel zen, the yoga studio here is set off, sound proofed, painted a calming color, and has great manduka mats and blocks. I did a private workshop with Emily here and my friends and I had such a good time, she's great at teaching inversions and super encouraging! Open up your mind (and wallet) to Open Box, and you may just open up your heart to them, along with, probably, your hips.

It really pains me to write this review. I've been taking classes at RippedPHL since shortly after…read morethey opened. Of the various treadmill workout studios in the area that have come and gone over the years, it consistently was my favorite. It had been in my regular rotation for a while until they changed the Thursday night class that best fit in my schedule to a strength only class. Since I really like the treadmill portion I hadn't been here in several months. During that time they made some changes, and the class names changed. I was hoping it was just the names, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I'll start by saying that I'm a runner - I run regularly, most often on trails with lots of hills. Although I am squarely a back of the pack, party pace runner. Ripped's treadmill programs have three options of increasing difficulty. They also have a high incline hiking option that I was excited about when they launched, but never ended up trying once I saw that it hits speeds of 4.0 MPH and higher. That's not a realistic hiking pace for me, especially when you're at double digit inclines. I've always found level 1 of the running programs challenging, but doable. Now, however, level 1 is significantly harder. When the first treadmill interval kicked off, instead of the usual 3.8 MPH warm-up pace, the level 1 warm-up pace had jumped to 4.5 MPH, which is a pretty significant increase. And it just got harder from there. At one point the speed was at 6.5 MPH, which used to be a flat road sprint speed for level 1, but this time we were mid-hill on a 5% incline and going up from there. The second tread set started off with 5.0 MPH as the warm-up. For level 1! That's not a warm-up for me - that's my race pace. I had to completely tap out with this new program. I know some people like the challenge of striving for goals out of reach and find that motivating, but I'm the opposite. If I wanted to try something harder and currently out of reach I could try levels 2 or 3. Finding myself completely unable to keep up with the lowest level option as someone who identifies as a runner outside of class, let me feeling really bad about myself. I used to leave these classes feeling tired and challenged, but confident and accomplished. I left this class feeling defeated and bad about myself. At a time when it seems like a lot of studios are making an effort to accommodate people at all levels of the their fitness journey, Ripped appears to be going in the other direction. And yes, I realize I can modify and reduce the speed or walk when I can't keep up, but those numbers I'm supposed to be attaining and failing to reach are right there in front of me challenging how I feel about my performance. One of the benefits of fitness classes for me is the boost they provide to my mental health, and that isn't going to help me think positively about my fitness journey and performance. If your approach to fitness is different than mine and/or you're further along on your fitness journey in terms of performance, I encourage you to try RippedPHL. It really is a great studio - the instructors are amazing and the front desk is always awesome and welcoming. And I'm assuming their regular members asked for this update and like the harder programs, which is why they've made the update. I wish the studio the best, I really do - we've lost too many fitness studios in Philly recently. But I feel like I stepped off the train for a minute and it sped away and left me behind. So I'm going to have to explore other options that work better for me for where I am on my physical and mental fitness journey.

This was located on a third floor walkup in Rittenhouse. I was exhausted by the time I got to the…read moretop of the stairs, but I guess that is a good pre-workout to get you ready for the class. Malik was the instructor. For someone that wants to get into running I really think that this is a great motivation. Everyone is on treadmills and the intensity of the speed and workout varies during the workout. Each treadmill is state of the art and they have large vivid screens that were streaming images of streets of NYC. It was engaging to watch. You would alternate from the treadmill to the workout benches and on the benches there were different weights that you could use for activities like dead lifts and sumo squats. There was also a variety of stretching exercises. The workout room was a bit cramped and dark for my liking but maybe that is something that just takes some getting used to.

I'm really grateful that I finally decided to take steps to improve my health/fitness and highly recommend Train & Nourish for all women, especially beginners. Brenna is super nice and flexible with her schedule. She also adapts my training to my fitness goals and ability level, encouraging me to push myself without going overboard. I am extremely unfit (like, "unable to do a squat" unfit) and I've already improved within a month (ten squats, lol!). The once-a-week schedule is good because I can apply the exercises into my workouts in my apartment gym. During personal training, you will see other trainers/clients but everyone is extremely friendly and non-judgemental. T&N is especially good for people who feel self conscious in regular gyms. The group classes are great and exhausting, but I think individualized personal training can help someone who truly has no clue what they're doing in the gym. One-on-one is helpful in correcting posture and learning how to use equipment safely without hurting yourself. As my fitness gradually improves and I become more confident, hopefully I will be able to transition into group classes and keep up with everyone else.

I did want to share some feedback about a recent class with a guest instructor. During the class, I was corrected several times in front of everyone for things that weren't related to safety. While I understand that corrections are part of learning, being singled out like that made me feel self-conscious rather than encouraged, especially since I'm still building confidence in my practice. I think it could be helpful to encourage instructors, especially guest instructors, to offer non-safety-related corrections more discreetly when possible, or to check in with students about how they prefer to receive feedback. I imagine that approach would help many people feel more comfortable and supported while they're learning. Overall, I still think this is a wonderful studio with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it helps preserve the supportive environment that has made me enjoy coming here so much.

I have been going to Tuck for almost three years now. This is such a special barre studio- the…read moresupportive, community feel is unlike any other exercise studio I have been out. This is a small business owned and started by Callie and it does NOT have any sort of corporate feel. The studio is so cozy and you can tell that Callie really puts her heart and soul into it. I love the esthetic of the studio- the plants are luscious and there is so much attention to detail with all the decorations. The classes are very affordable. I buy the class packs which amount to about $17 per class but you can find an even better deal if you snag them during one of the sales. As others have mentioned, it's also amazing that the classes don't expire. This makes me feel like the studio wants you to use the classes and have a good experience rather than being focused on profits. I really feel like there is something here for everyone. There is a variety of teachers, so you have to try a few classes out to see who you like! In the same vein, if you try a class and it's not your thing, don't be afraid to try another one as there is such a range of teaching styles. My personal favorites are Melissa, Katie, Ann, and of course, Callie. While the teachers all have differences in teaching style, they all focus on being in tune with your body, taking breaks when needed and enjoying the workout. The classes are 45 minutes and it goes FAST. They are also a lot of fun. The only improvement I would wish for would be more after work (6:30 PM or later) classes. It can be tough to make it to classes with my work schedule as I leave the city at 6:30 AM and am not back until 6:30 PM. As a result, I can only make it to Tuck during my days off whereas corporate studios tend to have more class times. Again, though, because the classes don't expire, I am not rushing to finish my packs and come to the studio when I can.

I was hoping that the personalized strengthening and balancing exercises would be more specific (and effective) than the group classes at my gym, and they were. Star Pilates helped me complete my training successfully and without further injury. Amy and Greg have different styles, but are both great motivators with a ton of ideas for a customized routine. Unlike Personal Trainers that I've used before, they filled the entire hour each time with challenging exercises without losing focus on my form/execution...so, no "watching the clock" or checking text messages. It was good to know that when I paid for a full hour, they gave me a full hour every time. The studio space itself is great...a very clean, comfortable room with natural light and well-maintained equipment. It was a welcome change from what I was used to at my regular gym. While I chose Star for a specific purpose within limited time frame, I would also recommended them for athletes and others looking for something different in their regular workout routine.

It is similar to some forms of yoga, with less emphasis on poses and more on precise, deceptively easy-looking movements that engage muscles originating from one's core. "Core" includes quite a few muscles, and it is remarkable how much more fluency in the language of one's own body can be acquired from this practice. I have taken Pilates on and off for about ten years. Most of that has been in the studio setting which you will find at Star Pilates. Unlike a mat class that you might find at a nice gym, the one-on-one approach allows constant correction of your form and adjustment of the exercises to what you happen to need that day. Don't get me wrong; there are standard, foundational exercises, and you'll do them all here. But, if your hips are tight or feel like focusing on things that improve your balance, Amy and Greg will figure out what you need. That's right; there are two instructors here, and I find it convenient to work with them alternately, as each gives certain exercises a slightly different inflection or emphasis. They are both excellent and patient teachers; in three months of twice- or thrice-weekly sessions, I've yet to emerge from the studio without feeling a lot better than when I came in. They know what they're doing, and are eager to share it with you. One can't ask for more. Pilates can work for many different types of people. Personally, I find it an ideal way to stay injury-free during triathlon season. It's also a great method for "shaking up" one's workout routine, whatever it is. Pilates teachers often have a dance background, and after a session or two, you'll have no trouble seeing why. It's a nice complement to aerobic or weight training. In sum, this is a good place to treat your body to a unique workout, and it's worth the price.
