I always feel welcomed by the entire staff when I walk in. It never felt like there was a hierarchy of regulars, even as a first timer I got the same embrace which made it so much less intimidating. One thing I love about this studio is how many 30/30 classes they offer, it gives me the chance to do two kinds of workouts within one time slot. The studio always feels clean and tidy. The team does such a great job!

Located in downtown, this studio offers three types of classes currently, Interval (consists of…read morerotating between treadmill, rower, and floor exercise with weights kind of like Barry's but with extra rotation of rowers), 3x3 (mat style HIIT class that rotates through three different exercises that focuses on body parts and mostly using weights), mat heated Pilates, and Hi Def (more heat and cardio compared to 3 by 3). As of last time I went they currently do NOT offer cycling any more (unsure if they will bring it back). The studio itself is gorgeous - glass windows everywhere overlooking downtown Austin. The interval class is a low lights kind of club vibe with music while the 3 x 3 classes are held in glass rooms so very light and airy. For the classes requiring mats they do provide mats and towels and the room has labeled numbers where to put your mat down but know that the spacing is very tight and in a full class you're on top of each other. I have found the instructors to be incredibly friendly and personable and even in a big class they do try to get your name if they can. My favorite so far is Al Cairns and Carla Jian as they focus on form but also go around and check on everyone. Parking wise they offer 90 minute validated parking at 400 San Jacinto Ave but the parking can get full so there is another lot $5 at Littlefield. I never had trouble getting parking for the morning and noon classes, but evening is definitely more difficult. Cost wise I take the classes through Classpass but the cost usually range from $25-35 a class based on package you get. There Black Friday sale is very good and can get it down to $20-$22 a class. Amenity wise they provide showers with nice shampoo/conditioner/body wash and Dyson hair dryers and towels!

First time at Prana Wellness Club and I absolutely fell in love with this place!…read more I came on a Sunday morning for a Pilates class. The space is beautiful, warm and feels SO relaxing, you can tell they put so much thought into every little detail. The Pilates studio itself is nice and everyone I interacted with was super friendly. Parking can be a little tricky, especially during busy times or rush hours. There are a few spots right in front of the wellness center, but they fill up quickly. You can also park on the street or by the café next door, which is really good too, by the way! Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. I'll definitely be back!

I was so excited to try Prana Wellness when it opened up and finally got to go with one of my…read moregirlfriends to a Pilates Reformer class with Maria Serrano. The space is beautifully designed and so aesthetic. The parking lot is small though so I recommend coming early to snag a spot. The Pilates Reformer class only has about 7 reformers which makes for a really intimate setting. Maria was easy to follow and walked us through everything you can do with the machine, including equipment I had never seen before. While it was a great introduction to the reformer, the intensity was a bit lacking. We all walked out feeling like the class was too easy. My suggestion would be to let students know they can increase resistance with the different color springs or offer modifications for different levels so everyone gets a more personalized challenge.

Evan at Blackbird is an exceptional trainer. My husband, brother (who has Down syndrome), and I…read morehave trained with him for over two and a half years, and he tailored our joint workouts to fit each of our interests, needs, and injuries. His thoughtfulness and deep knowledge made every session feel safe, effective, and motivating. As someone who used to skip workouts, I now genuinely look forward to them. We're now fitter and stronger than ever -- and that's entirely thanks to Evan's guidance. If you're looking for a smart, kind, and adaptable trainer who truly listens, Evan is the one.

I met with Brenda on my initial meeting so she can hear my concerns and give me a roadmap. She was…read moreincredibly knowledgeable and I did not feel uncomfortable or judged at all. She matched me up with Maria who is also knowledgeable and so sweet! I found my sessions to exciting and fun! She switched it up every time I saw her so i never knew what was coming! I loved that I was never too sore the next day to the point where It hurt to walk! She educated me in stretching correctly for areas I told her were my concern and gave me feedback for improvement. I got on a great start and definitely felt and noticed myself get stronger! I planned on coming back, however I ended up moving to New York for work. :-( I definitely recommend coming here especially if you don't know what you're doing like me!

I have had the best experience working out here. It started with a trial class, as most studios do,…read moreand it instantly felt like a fit and I signed up for membership. I liked that each workout is a bit different (unlike OT), with personal attention given by the coaches to form (unlike F45), while building strength in similar muscles groups to get fit over time. It also rotates in format with a good mix of resistance, strength, HIIT, cardio. It's usually 20-30 people in a class and you feel part of a community - other members are friendly and supportive of you need it, but also focused on their goals and not in your way of you prefer that. The place has easy free parking which makes the logistics easy and lockers/cubbies. They provide clean sweat towels (actually clean). And the team is highly responsive on phone/ message - I've never had issues reaching someone if I've needed to.

The workout is consistent with wherever you take Barry's classes. The facility though was nicer and…read morelarger than most Barry's studios that I have been to. I loved their lift studio, especially the upgraded benches. The upgraded benches were very novel to use and I liked how the top of it could be lifted vertically to mimic a wall for wall sits. Only constructive criticism would be that I wanted to buy a barrys Austin t-shirt but thought that $68 + tax for a plain cotton T-shirt is a bit steep price-wise.

I was visiting Austin last week and was excited to try out the Barry's location, since I go a few…read moretimes every week in the Bay Area. What a great experience! The Austin location is gigantic! They have two rooms for classes- one Red Room (the one I was in), and I believe the other room was for lifting only. The class size is also larger than what I am used to, which was cool. I took two classes and both were great, but Phillip's was especially awesome! Not only did he have great energy and curated a great ACL-themed playlist, but also included some facts about ACL throughout the class which was super fun! I had brought a guest who had never been to Barry's before and she even mentioned a few days later how awesome he was! Everyone at the front desk was super nice and helpful as well. I look forward to my next trip back to Barry's Austin!

The instructor, Raine was really sweet and helpful! She corrected posture and provided different levels to challenge us. I appreciated the little sprinkle of ab work in the mix and could have done with more cardio! The room was really dark and lit only by candles but I like a moody setting so it works for me! All of the classes are heated to about 80-90 degrees so you really feel it and after class you're handed an ice cold face towel. When you check in there's complimentary hair ties, face wipes, mints at the front desk to use before or after class which is such a thoughtful touch! The best part is there's plenty of parking!

Their signature flows are set up in 3 parts: First the teacher takes the class through a sequence of poses slowly. Each pose is cued in detail and held for a few breaths to build muscle memory. For the 2nd part, the teacher cues those same poses but matches one breath to one movement (more fluid). Then for the final part, the teacher turns the music up and sets the class free to flow through the same sequence over and over on their own. I really enjoyed the sequences that I was guided through, and the studio itself had a great vibe. Everything was clean, everyone was nice, and I'm excited to come back and try some of their other classes!
