Even with my work schedule, I'm still able to come in and do some workouts every day.

I walked in to take my first class, and Anna (the owner) was extremely friendly I and helpful on my first day. I wasn't completely new to barre class, but she did a great job explaining how her studio works. Since my first class I have taken a class every single day, and have had several different instructors. I find that each instructor although unique, they each have a ton of energy and keep you engaged throughout the entire class. They are also great at giving directions for each movement if you happen to be new to barre. The studio is very clean, as is the equipment you use. If you are looking for weight loss I definitely recommend mixing this workout in with some extra cardio. Definitely better than Pure Barre, and MUCH higher energy!

I loved it and have been going 3-4 times a week ever since. The staff is mega kind and welcoming, and the location is sooo convenient. The workouts are different every day and challenge me.

You'll want water and a towel!

FLEXCity specializes in interval-based fitness training, incorporating strength training, cardio, and flexibility into each class. Every class is different, but in the class I went to, we did spinning, running on a treadmill, floor-based strength exercises and TRX. You are constantly moving and rotating to different exercises - you never do any one exercise for more than about 3-5 minutes. The instructor, Cora, was awesome at keeping everyone on track and focused on each activity. She was really helpful and even showed me around the machines before class so I knew what to expect. Overall, I had way more fun than I was expecting but I was definitely incredibly sore for several days after! It's a unique and fun way to get in a workout! Note, the Grand Rapids location has a large parking lot in back but they like you to use the front entrance. Get there 10 minutes before your first class so the instructor can show you around and don't forget a towel... you're gonna sweat.

The Grand Rapids…read moreBallet is the only professional ballet company in the state of Michigan, which is so amazing to me. I have only ever been to one performance at the ballet, but have always been interested in seeing more at this theatre. I grew up taking dance, including ballet, and have always been interested in dance. Plus Center Stage was one of my favorite movies in the early 2000s, haha. The Grand Rapids Ballet also includes a ballet school for students ages 3-19, plus adult and Adaptive Dance classes. The beginner adult class is open to anyone and you can request a complimentary trial class. Beyond that, classes are usually $15 for drop ins, or you can get a 10-class punch card for $120. Classes are on weekday evenings from 6:30-8 pm. They also offer adult intermediate classes. Parking is limited in their lot, and the night I went there were lots of parents picking up kids so I ended up parking on the street. The class was taught by Attila Mosolygo, one of the instructors at the school. We started with warm ups and lots of barre work, focusing on strength, lower body movements, and flexibility. There weren't a ton of modifications given but with my limited knowledge of ballet I made it through as best as I could. We ended with a bit of floor work, including practicing chene turns and lots of jumping. My quads were definitely working hard and I worked up a sweat. I had a lot of fun and would go back for another class in the future.

The…read moredoors are lively and inspirational, and, once inside, the soaring, light-filled space, decorated with a large-scale photo of a dancer, fills you with joy. That's just a taste of what's to come. The most powerful, moving, and extraordinary dance I've ever seen? Aquatic hypoxia, choreographed by Nicolas Blanc, and part of MoveMedia: handmade... 7 new, original works, all world premieres. If this is the caliber of GR Ballet's shows, this company will go FAR. The dancing and choreography talent is tremendous. There is a spacious coat room, a closer men's bathroom, and a women's bathroom at the far end (why? I wished there was a closer handicap bathroom for either gender). The seating is pleasing, with plenty of leg room and comfortable chairs. I sat at the end of the row, and perhaps 10% of the stage was obscured by the side curtains. Luckily, most of the dancing occurred in visibility. One very smart thing inside the theatre: the lighting on the stairs is very clever. It is covered, so not obtrusive, but definitely lit up the stairs if you needed egress during the snow. Thank you! There is a parking lot in front (with 2 handicap spaces, so get there early if you need it), and a city lot across the street. We attended this as part of an official Yelp event, and I am SO glad we drove from Kalamazoo in a crazy winter ice storm!

I discovered Sweatnet during quarantine and am so glad I did. They offer fun group fitness classes,…read morediscounts at local businesses and gyms, and a welcoming community of people looking to move their bodies. I've done a lot of virtual Sweatnet classes as well as a handful of in-person outdoor classes. It's a good mix of different types of fitness classes, like yoga, barre, and HIIT, as well as mindfulness and meditation practices. Membership is only about $9 per month, and the drop in rate for most workouts is around $10 so it's a great deal. Plus you get exclusive perks and discounts at places like Clean Juice, Athleta, Core Life, SWET Sauna, Flot, and Vitality Bowls. It's a great way to mix up your workouts and meet new people. I'm really looking forward to more outdoor classes this summer with Sweatnet! I've loved the dropsound yoga and barre at Paddock Place and Belknap Park.
