When I moved to Toledo in April, I was looking for a home gym/personal trainer. I think Jake and…read moreEmbody Wellness were heaven sent to me. I love how he makes physical training and awareness go from being a to-do activity to becoming a wholesome daily routine. He offers the most personal and effective physical training and nutrition advise to help you get closer to your body goals and feel better about yourself. I have trained with Jake and his wife Jesse. It is a family business and you essentially becomes part of the family when you join in. The rates are exceptional for the service he offers. I usually do 30mins for $30. There are other pricing options and you can choose whichever works for you. He is very flexible and works around your schedule! Overall he will work with you to make sure you make it to the gym and work on your goals. This is my home gym and I love training with Jake and Jesse. Would definitely 10/10 recommend!

St James Club Toledo has operated since the early 80s, providing families and individuals with the…read moreenvironment they need to work out, swim, and decompress. It is a family-owned and operated business, giving it a personal touch that you just can't get from other health clubs. You'll oftentimes be greeted by name, whether it be the front desk worker or maybe a friend you've made in the gym or the pool. There's always something to do here, whether it be to get on the treadmill and watch the news or to get into the pool and listen to the latest tunes. St. James has a fitness center, indoor and outdoor pool, locker rooms with saunas and steam rooms for men and women, and group exercise classes (in the classrooms and in the pool). The club has had new owners since Covid (but still remains in the Gomez family), and there have been plenty of improvements with the new ownership to give the club a fresh feel. These improvements range from updated cardio and lifting equipment, updated classrooms, and the inside and outside have been repainted with an updated deck at the entrance. The camera system has been updated inside, which helps make both members and the employees managing the environment feel safe. Front Desk workers are particularly helpful and will assist you as much as possible. Overall, St. James Club takes care of all of your health needs for fitness and aquatics, and it is a great place to go every day if you need somewhere to just feel better, whether it be because of the people or because of the workout. Membership cost is a monthly payment with no initiation fee, $45 pretax at the minimum for individuals, $65 for couples and $70 for families with one to three kids. Members that pursue longer contracts are able to get lower pricing for their membership (Ex. 3-year individual is $35/mo.). Once a contract is fulfilled, your membership goes to month-to-month, so you can stick around for as long as you'd like without worry. Members may sign up using a credit card/debit card or using their bank account information for automatic withdrawal. Annual membership options require a signature of contract, but may be broken in the event of a medical situation or relocation.

I have never felt a need to use a lock, always trusting the membership! I have had one disagreement with management...but I was wrong! Literally, so I have simply changed my former understanding!

I have lived in Sylvania Township for 41 years and been a member of 4 different clubs...Not one of the 4 was better than or equal to SJC.

I don't feel competition and don't feel inferior. Emily truly embodies what yoga is meant for and is supposed to be. It's just different in all the best ways.

The interior is beautiful and relaxing with little amenities for your use if need be. Not to mention it's affordable and there's no pressure at all to take more classes.

She has a great personality, awesome stories, and made everyone feel very comfortable doing something outside of their comfort zone (or at least as comfortable as you could be). As the other reviewer noted, we two routines: pole and chair. Very fun (and difficult)! She has a lounge space off to the side that was perfect for setting up a mimosa station and relaxing a bit. She was really flexible and clearly a pro at hosting these types of events. My friends and I definitely want to go back for some of her pole dancing exercise classes sometime! Definitely check her place out for your next girls' night!

Let me start by giving some background information. I LOVE YOGA! I've been doing yoga well over a…read moredecade and only wish I had found it earlier in my life. I earned by 200 hours teacher certification about 3 years ago from a wonderful local studio. I lived at that studio for a year, going to class 5 days a week. Then COVID. The studio went virtual and 3 things happened - I got used to the convenience of doing yoga at home, I redecorated and made my own home studio, and the local studio stopped offering the classes I loved while discontinuing their virtual classes. On top of this, I had shoulder surgery in Dec. 2020 and then spent all of 2022 struggling with issues resulting from the surgery. So yoga has been difficult to find and only available to me part of the year. Once yoga studios opened as pandemic restrictions eased, I began my search for studios that offered virtual classes at times I wanted them that didn't cost to much. I tried SO MANY one month trial memberships. I found a few that were OK, but the pricing was high, the style of yoga not my favorite, or the class times were inconvenient or too infrequent. I had been looking in Central Ohio - and then looked in Cleveland - and finally started on Toledo. ENTER TOLEDO YOGA! Toledo Yoga was the first studio in the NW Ohio area I had tried. Their calendar looked very promising, offering SO MANY CLASSES throughout the day. Bonus - power yoga was offered during the week at 5:30 - the perfect time for me! I work from home and log into work from 7 AM - 5 PM or so. I want my yoga class to start before 6:30 and 5:30 is ideal. The Friday class is 4:30, but that works out fine. By then, my brain is fried on work and I'm ready to have some fun - and Conni's classes are always great. The one thing I don't absolutely love is the yoga is based on Baptiste yoga. I was trained in Vinyasa style with a focus on Ashtanga (which I really dislike), so at least Baptiste is accessible to me whereas there was so much in Ashtanga I could not do (or do well). HOWEVER, the flows always vary and each instructor puts their own twist on the format and always comes up with something fresh and interesting. On Saturday morning, I started my day with getting my butt kicked by Gi and her sculpt class. And this week I also enjoyed the 9 AM power class and have also taken the 11 AM. Sunday I have fallen in love with the flow class with Nada. Her amazing cues and long held poses is often akin to a yin class. Finally - Toledo Yoga uses Zoom. I've tried other studios that use other platforms - the worst being the Mindybody livestream. I would have joined a prior studio I tried by I hated the Mindbody experience. It didn't work on most of my devices and the instructors didn't know how to use it. Just painful classes with messed up visuals. AND the frosting on the cake - the virtual membership is SO AFFORDABLE! Added bonus - there is a huge online library of on-demand classes you have access to. The ONE time the studio's Zoom stream failed, I quickly pivoted and did a recorded class online instead. If I haven't convinced you this is an awesome value and so worth a try - I'm not sure this is the studio for you! I would have settled for so much less - but I did have to. Thank Toledo Yoga and all your wonderful instructors!!

Absolutely amazing! ‍…read more This review is long overdue but I was simply trying to wait to be able to get pictures to add to the post. But as many of you may know who do yoga, you typically don't take your phone into the studio, so I always forget. So if you have not done yoga, it is an absolute must for your health and wellness routine! Toledo Yoga has the best, I mean THE BEST yoga Instructor's I have ever come in contact with. I have been coming to Toledo Yoga since about 2017 with some breaks in between. But the community and the culture are consistent. It's an amazing community full of support and guidance, to help you achieve your best possible self, while you find in the light within. It is a great studio for beginners, intermediate and advanced practicers. All of the instructors have a unique style teaching and there are plenty of classes and times available for you to find your niche. Toledo Yoga also offers a 30 for 30 program, where you can try unlimited classes for 30 days for just $30! You are stronger than you believe! Stop in and give them a try!

Julie is amazing, and she comes to my home for our training sessions! (This is very important on…read morethose days that I want to talk myself out of a workout and she shows up at my door ready to go.) Thanks to her, I'm half the woman I once was a few months ago (see profile photo for "before" photo- I'm a size 6 (!) now). Not only is she really supportive and nurturing in her approach to personal training, but she also has a Masters degree in Body Physiology which makes her very knowledgable in how to safely train her clients (again, important because I had to learn how to exercise in a way that maximizes my ability and minimizes stress). She has worked as a personal trainer for a number of years through hospitals and has only as recently as this past Spring begun an independent practice and taking on clients. Her pricing is extremely reasonable for the breadth and depth of her knowledge and experience. Not only does help you reach your own fitness goals, but she also helps with diet and other considerations necessary to achieve a healthy lifestyle. I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have, and I'm even planning on running in a race this fall! With Julie, I got much more than just a personal trainer, I feel as though I have a lifestyle coach providing one-on-one, customized sessions. I no longer feel this was a "Personal Indulgence," but an "Invaluable Investment" in my overall well-being. Give her a try and you will not regret it!

I love working out with Julie - she is fantastic! I started working out once a week with her in…read moreMarch and have since lost 45 pounds and begun to enjoy incorporating regular exercise into my daily routine. In addition to our workouts, Julie has given me advice on nutrition and helped me create and achieve fitness goals. She also has helped me create weekly exercise and meal plans to keep me on track with my weight loss. She is truly an expert and tailors each workout to my individual needs. She has kept me motivated to make changes in my habits and to implement a healthier lifestyle, but is understanding when slip-ups happen and helps me get back on track! I hadn't really considered working out with a trainer before because the costs seemed prohibitive, but with Julie I don't have to maintain an additional gym membership. The exercises she has taught me and the workouts we do can be completed with minimal equipment in my own apartment. I can't recommend Personal Indulgence Fitness highly enough. Julie provides the expert knowledge and personalized service that can help you achieve success!

just now NEW This is…read moreprobably the most important review I've ever written. I've been going to Essential Therapies for 2 years now for myofascial release. I've been a Registered nurse for over 40 years, and I've learned more about healing in these past 2 than I ever have before. I have had chronic pain since 2015 related to various trauma including 2 back surgeries and cervical spine surgery. Also a hysterectomy. My body has been out of alignment with huge layers of restrictions - the medical community had no idea what was going on with me and could only offer pills or more procedures that would only compound the problems and make them worse. I can honestly say that I'm finally at a point where I see and feel myself slowly healing and getting better. I'm eternally grateful to Dr. Cindy Hodgson for being the amazing woman she is, and for creating this business and helping so many others like me who would not be getting well without her expertise. I want to thank the professionals at Essential Therapies for their kind and compassionate care - Cindy, Brook, Dani and Tiffany - you fabulous women have given me back my life. If anyone reads this through I encourage you to learn about myofascial release and trust that it is the future of healthcare, and a path to true wellness. What we've been told and offered until now by the medical community is not working.
