Hot Yoga Chadstone is close to the freeway and there is parking out the back. If you are coming up from Warrigal road you can turn left straight after Pancake Parlour then right into the parking lot.
Be mindful there are a few stairs to climb as the studio is on Level 1 and facilities include: Showers, toilets, lockers, 1 x studio. You can rent mats and towels if you are just starting out and they sell water and coconut juice at the counter.
I participated in the Core + Hot Pilates class on a Sunday morning and was greeted by friendly staff. I attended over the birthday weekend using the Bodypass program which allows me to go to this studio 3 times a month. This class was different to any yoga or pilates class I had done before as the room was heated and it made a huge difference but people of all levels participated so don't worry!
The class worked on core yoga poses then incorporated pilates exercises within each pose, our instructor Mel then did high intensity training for about 15 minutes before a relaxation time at the end of class. So picture this, deep breathing - bridge - hip thrusts for your glutes and butt - warrior - planks - side planks with arm rotation and weights - and it just keeps going.
Their website officially goes by Hot Bikram Yoga Chadstone but you will hear them referred to as Hot Yoga Chadstone, Hot Yoga and Pilates Chadstone.
There are plenty of membership options available here but you should try out the 3 week unlimited intro offer for $30 AUD.
I got a good vibe from this place as the instructors are friendly and chatted to you after the class and seemed to really get know their regulars. I gave it 3 stars as I didn't enjoyed the class but would have liked it if there was a beginner level and the locker room was a bit cramped. I will be trying a different class next week and will update it more. read more
