Having recently left my prior studio due to personal schedule issues, I saw The Fit In as a…read morepotential new workout spot. Seemingly catered to femme-presenting people, yet still offering strength training classes beyond traditional pilates, I thought it would be a good place to add variety to my usual routine. I bought the Newbie and Rookie class packs and had three wonderful classes. That said, I was deeply disappointed with the studio owner's response to an error with their notification system. A text message from their system told me my class was at "The Fit In." However, the class was actually at another location. I received no booking confirmation telling me of any other location and had not checked the website before leaving (like I had done before), since I assumed that the text was correct. Because of this, I arrived at the wrong studio and would be late for my upcoming class. I emailed the studio explaining the circumstances and apologizing for my absence. Because I had gotten comfortable at The Fit In and saw it as my new studio, I requested the missed class be rescheduled and hoped that, by drawing attention to this issue, the studio could prevent future confusions like mine. In response, the studio owner questioned why I couldn't walk to the other studio (after having already walked to the incorrect one) or drive there. I do not have a car. Less than half of NYC has a car. I told them that, while those were certainly options, I couldn't justify buying an Uber for a three-minute car ride and paying MORE to make up for their mistake. I also informed them that, in preparation for a fitness class, I was dressed to work my muscles, not walk against cold winter breezes. Their response? No-shows to classes are non-reschedulable, even if the reason for missing the class was because of their system. They also told me their messaging system does not mention which location class is held at (contrary to my screenshot) and questioned "how I got to my classes before." If you are looking for a community welcoming to newcomers, look elsewhere. They would rather gaslight their new customers than accept they made a mistake. Overall, I guess I didn't have the right Fit for this studio.

Their waitlist system feels very predatory and does not foster a culture of attendance. It's one of…read morethe most frustrating experiences I've had with any class booking system in the city. I lost money on classes for which I had to waitlist weeks in advance, and if I don't constantly manage my waitlists, I lose credits for classes I can't attend. While they have a 12-hour cancellation policy for booked classes, it doesn't seem to apply to waitlisted classes, which is unfair. I bought a 3-pack intro offer and could only waitlist for classes 2-3 weeks ahead because everything else was full. If I get pulled into a waitlisted class I can't make, there's no way for me to drop it without losing my credit. Their support team refused to refund my money or credits, despite it being my first time making this mistake. The classes I attended weren't even full. All in all with $80 intro offer, I could only attend a single class. The whole thing feels like a money-grabbing scheme. I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone.

I've attended the same class w/ the same instructor numerous times and never once asked a question…read more I asked a single question in class this AM. Today, I asked a quick question only because I was literally confused. He snapped at me so hard and was so rude to me as though I was bothering him. Notably, I am a WOC and not light skinned. It was not lost on me, that he ensured he told the blonde white woman next to me so nicely that she was doing it perfectly while correcting her (so factually not doing it perfectly?) I was on the verge of tears the rest of class, and in fact missed doing numerous exercises properly bc I just wanted to leave. It's sad that when I "didnt know my place" so to speak, I was quickly reprimanded. Anyway, I thought about using my last 3 classes on another teacher who I love but I realized ultimately, it was such a bad experience - why bother going back to a studio that thinks its okay to treat students so disparately based on perceived race/class. Also, I do want to note that the initial response from the studio is likely say they aren't racist or colorist etc. These statements that act as though descriptors of behaviors, systems, structural issues and entrenched societal norms, are instead heinous accusations obfuscate the actual issue and tends to push off fixing the underlying issue.

All are welcome and you feel it from the moment you walk in till the time you leave. The instructors are very welcoming, knowledgeable and encouraging. One in particular is Natalie(owner) and her encouraging spirit. I was one of her first students and came in not knowing what to expect and what I found was not your typical yogi. I was continuing my practice with someone who encouraged me to go harder and longer while hearing the tunes of Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Prince and a little jazz as well. She got me to do a headstand on my first visit and after a month I was doing it on my own. WOW!!! Now I find myself telling all I meet about yoga and about STACKED YOGA. STACKED is clean, plentiful of good encouragement and instructors that will take your practice to the next level. Don't be afraid of the small space. It is very intimate yes but I think it's what makes STACKED one of the best studious in the city. Come give it a try. You'll love it!! P.S. The yoga retreats are pretty awesome too

Today they decided to cancel my membership and kick me out of the studio (I see I'm not the only one they've done this to) for asking to be refunded $10 for cancelling a class less than 8 hours in advance because something with my sick dad came up. This studio is built on greed and the only thing that made me stay so long was the convenience and the few good teachers. I wish I had never given them my business. I have nothing good to say about the management staff who are rude, insensitive and incompassionate, all they care about is making money. I recommend finding a studio that isn't built on taking advantage of students, and built on the actual principles of practicing yoga. I'm sure the owner will respond by making something up about how I've been "disrespectful" which is just a blatant lie since all I do is come in, take the class and leave. Do yourself a favor and DON'T GO HERE. Like others have said, I'll be finding where else the teachers instruct and take my money there.

Absolutely love this place! I've been attending classes here almost everyday since late August and…read moreit's been such a good experience. Everyone who works here is so kind and welcoming. Working out has always intimidated me and I was really nervous before my first class but every instructor I've interacted with has been incredibly patient and understanding. Every instructor makes an effort to ask the class if anyone has injuries, no one is bullied into doing more than they can handle, and modifications are always welcome! While the instructors are very understanding and don't try to pressure students to go over their limits, they're still extremely encouraging and do want you to try challenge yourself. I will say that Dr. Brown's Align 1:10 is one of Align's most challenging class. It's very fast-paced (the most fast-paced class I've taken at Align) and I think Dr. Brown's class can be intimidating for some who have never taken the class before but the intention is to keep your heart rate elevated so he means well! Since the fast-paced element of this class is very intentional, you'll have to switch through each exercise very quickly, which is challenging at first (I struggled through my first class). But if you keep attending his classes, it'll become second nature. The style of the class is like a bootcamp class so he will definitely push you to give it your all but if you absolutely can't do something, modifications are fine. I always modify at least 1-2 things in his class and it's never an issue, as long as you feel like it's still challenging and that your heart rate stays up. The Align 1:10 Xpress class is shorter and a bit slower, at least I think so. Both classes are great if you're up to it and trust me, you'll feel so accomplished when you get through it but it's definitely not a yoga class! The other thing that Align has really helped with is my flexibility and range of motion. I originally started coming to Align because I wanted to start weightlifting but I'm so inflexible and tight that I couldn't even squat with proper form. All the classes I've taken at Align have really helped with this issue so if you're experiencing something similar, this is the place for you! Honestly, every class I've take at Align has been so great. If you have injuries that limit your physical movement, if you just get intimidated by working out like myself or even if you're an experienced athlete, I would highly recommend coming to Align! They have a student trial period, which is great because you can take as many classes as you want for a week for only $20 I think.

These teachers are some of the best I've encountered in over a decade of practice in NYC and other countries. Bravo to Align for highlighting an underrepresented group's fierce and fantastic ability to teach yoga.

I've enjoyed using my ClassPass account to take virtual yoga classes around the world. Earlier this…read moreweek I attended a Restorative Stretch class with Maya online through Zoom. I was looking for something different than my usual yoga class, so keep in mind, her Restorative Stretch class is NOT yoga. Because this isn't yoga, you'll also want basic equipment with you if you have it, such as a stretching strap, bolster, block and tennis ball. Maya said they tend to adjust the props needed for class based on what people have available at home, which is so thoughtful! The class focused on isolated stretches and working different parts of the body in unique ways with the props. I can tell Maya is a passionate, very intelligent instructor - she was excellent about verbally announcing modifications and checking in on the group. Studio Maya offers dance classes and core classes but no yoga. However, if you have physical limitations, you will be able to keep up in the Restorative Stretch class. It is slow-moving and thoughtful. I love Brooklyn, NY, and the next time I find myself there after the pandemic,, I would absolutely stop in for a class with Maya again!

Firstly, I'd like to mention that I have no experience with Pilates or yoga. On a daily basis, I'm…read moreengaged in boot camp or spin classes. So, it was a unique experience to have a slower pace class. The studio is massive and there's also a cute changing room that's got Moroccan themed lighting and pillows. The studio has water, water bottles, towels, and all the material you'll use in class (Bosu ball, mat, etc). As for the class itself, I took essential core and had absolutely zero idea of what I was doing. There were a lot of micro movements involved to work out your abs, but as a first timer, I felt lost and disoriented. The instructor, Maya, was of great help. She made sure I had proper posture and movement and gave me individual attention. I don't quite feel the core burn I had hoped for, but she explained the more you do it, the more you learn to isolate your muscles. She was a pleasure to meet and be taught by. Although this form of exercise isn't for me, I understand why others do it. I personally feel like you'd have to engage in it for several months to really understand the movements and see results. This studio seems to offer quality classes for those of you who are into Pilates and calisthenics. (:
