My schedule is a little more flexible than most so I get to try people out as I want. Raven and Kenyele continue to be my top two. They consistently challenge you and keep an eye out for proper form/technicals. Ask away for any questions you may have and they will deliver answers. Is it pricey? Sure. Is it worth it? Yes. You can do it at home, but there is something about the environment and the people in the classes that make it that much better. We share laughs, pain, encourage each other through the challenging parts and just have fun.

This buisness comes off as extremely desperate. I did the trial class and signed up. I wanted to…read morestart my membership a few days later. I had my trial class on a Sunday and I wanted it to draft on Friday. I hadn't transferred money to my personal spending account yet and By Friday I received multiple texts and emails by them. Over the weekend multiple texts and emails asking me if I still wanted my membership. By Monday ( a holiday) labor day, they were threatening me with collections which is extremely laughable for a membership I haven't even started yet! I was sick with covid and hadn't made it to the bank yet. I found the instructor to be rude as well. I joined another Pilates studio! Don't recommend this place.

I recently tried a beginner aerial yoga class at Aero Joe and overall had a good experience. This…read morewas my first time trying anything like this, so I was a little nervous. The instructions said to arrive early to sign waivers and get settled, so we arrived about 25 minutes before class to change, but no one was there yet and we had to wait about 10 minutes before someone arrived. There is a parking lot on both sides of the building which made parking easy. I would also recommend wearing long sleeves so the silks don't rub under your arms, and avoiding loose fitted clothing and jewelry so nothing snags while you're in the silks. One class was $35, but they also have a deal for 3 classes for $49 which seems like a great option if you plan to go back. Once class started, I really enjoyed it. Rachel was super nice, patient, and helpful, especially for beginners. She did a great job walking us through how to use the silks and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The class was fun, different, and a great introduction to aerial yoga. I would definitely take another class again!

I wanted so much to love this studio as much as the one I went to in Florida, but sadly I was…read moreterribly disappointed. The good: the workout was great and I definitely felt it both during class and after! That's the great thing about Pure Barre, they follow the basics same format and the actual workouts are super effective. The not-so-good: 1) Studio - there were no benches to sit to take off shoes and put on socks. This may sound petty, but after a workout, it can be a challenge to stand and put our shoes on! 2) Instructor - the instructor did come up and introduce herself to me, which I appreciated, but she never came around to correct my form (which I know for sure was wrong a few times). I know I had told her I had been to PureBarre before, so I wasn't brand new, but I also told her I was relatively new. She also never asked me about injuries (which I have several) like they did at the other studio. I don't know... maybe she was just preoccupied. Also, I had a really difficult time hearing her cues. I love having the music blasting as it keeps me going, but I just couldn't hear the instructor over the music for most of the class. 3) Staff - while the gals in the front were very friendly, I didn't feel "welcomed" like I did at the other studio I went to in Florida. The two of them were busy chatting and I kinda felt like I was interrupting each time I needed to ask a question. No one showed me around the studio - I had to ask where the restroom was, where equipment was, where the front of class was, etc. And no one even asked me my name. I know, it seems like a little thing, but I just felt like "another person" and they didn't really care one way or another if I enjoyed my workout or wanted to join. I don't like to leave negative reviews and if you read my previous review for Pure Barre in Orlando, you can see how different I felt after going to that studio. Maybe I'm just not being fair by comparing this studio to that one. Maybe that studio was exceptional and maybe those instructors were a rarity with how motivating and caring they were. And maybe I got my hopes up by thinking it would the same type of experience here. I did go back to another class with a different instructor, but pretty much felt the same way about that experience. So sad because I really love the Pure Barre workouts.

Since then they have added and improved a great deal of things to this place! I have been going to this gym for over 5 years now and have absolutely loved it. The staff are all super kind and willing to answer questions and the head manager is always ready to answer anything too. When you first walk in you have the open area along with the day care room on your right and then you have the front desk and next to that is the smoothie bar! I have come to it to get plenty of Protein packed drinks to help refuel myself after a workout. They have a large variety of machines and freeweights on the ground floor on top of many other amazing options too. Upstairs you will have a more private workout area that is smaller and a vast majority of the cardio machines. Downstairs in the main area you will have the racket ball room, the workout/class room, the cycling room, the media room with a giant cinema screen to watch while working out, the pool area along with 24e's own version of crossfit in the room behind it. What is also awesome about the place is that they both come with spacious restroom and locker rooms. Fully equipped with showers and plenty of body wash or shampoo if needed. The guy's area comes with a sauna and a steamer room and I believe the women's rest room/locker room comes with a sauna as well. On top of this gym being a 24 hour access gym with scanning pass key access the community has really shown up and continued to grow and come to this gym over the years. And I am sure it will only continue to grow!

The studio I visited is conveniently located in Mountain Brook and there is ample parking on the street in front of the studio. There is some cute retail clothing located at the front of the studio, and it was very clean and maintained. The front desk was so incredibly friendly when I arrived at MPOWER, and the instructor I took, ET was so nice and helpful. This is your standard, full-body 50-minute megareformer class, but ET offered modifications throughout the class for those who needed them. You get a great workout, burn a ton of calories, and you'll be sore the next day! Best of all, your first class is free! Highly recommend this place for anyone in the Birmingham area.

I read a women's health article, by Dominique Fluker, that detailed her first time experience in a class as a curvy, Black woman and I was sold! Turns out pilates isn't just for skinny, white women. I booked an intro class at the Club Pilates in Homewood and was pretty intimidated by all of the equipment at first. However, the instructor was really informative and moved slowly enough for us to understand the reasoning behind what we were doing. I loved how the practice helped me zone in and be present. I also enjoyed meeting the other people in my class, there was a nice variety of genders, ages, and races. The workouts are challenging and leave me feeling accomplished but not overly exhausted. The area is always clean with a nice playlist in the background. I'm looking forward to this new mental and physical wellness journey.
