This is a wonderful studio with a great vibe. The hot Pilates classes are epic. If you practice Bikram and expect traditional heat and humidity settings, check with the desk on, who is teaching . Some classes are far too hot even for Bikram . read more

I signed up for a Sunday slow-stretch class because I'm 59 years old and about as loose as a rusty hinge. The teacher was subbing for the regular instructor, and OMG, did I luck out. Vianna led a packed room full of slow stretches in a dim room with candles dancing and soft ambient music playing. Totally serene. Her instructions were soooo clear. "Feet towards the mirror, head towards the back wall. Lie back, legs long, arms long." She modeled every single move, but I could've followed her to a tee with just her verbal instructions and my eyes closed. She walked around the room a couple of times making minor adjustments to people's positions which was appreciated. She gave instructions in a calm but competent manner. She may have been a sub, but this was definitely not her first time leading a stretching class. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing! Vianna even had me dozing off a couple of times during those 75 minutes. The results were amazing and I left feeling better than I've felt in a long time. If you're interested in a heavenly slow-stretch class, ask Hot Yoga when Vianna will be leading a class. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

I emailed them along time ago my Groupon had expired this had to be like a year ago, 2023 when I emailed them febish 2024. This is what is said on there Groupon: Promotional value expires 180 days after purchase. ****Amount paid never expires. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services. They replied to me and said fine but i would never be aloud again after I come in to use the unused amount. And I said okay, I asked when I could go in to use it they never replied and I sent various emails after. I came across my group on again and saw the unused amount and remember how absolutely rude they were, So 1 star. They still never replied, never got my unpaid amount or able to use to toward a different service which was they stated on Groupon again "Promotional value expires 180 days after purchase. Amount paid never expires. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services." read more

Hot Yoga - Kundalini Yoga and Sound Bath - Yoga Near Me - Claremont, California

Front desk is rude all the time... not friendly or inviting- you guys should work on this

I am very new to yoga but thought I'd give this place a try. I got the $59 for a month of unlimited classe for first timers. They have plenty of classes which are relatively challenging in the heat (up to 100 F), but movements can be tailored/altered and classes are for beginners (crazy flexibility is not required)! Note the handout may be misleading it says u can borrow mats/towels but actually for rent for $2 each :) they also have one shower in the back if you must use. As a beginner myself ive learned that bikram is the most intense since it lasts 1.5 hr and there are quite a few uncomfortable positions to hold. Really make sure to hydrate before that! Pilates is high intensity and really trains for strength (some weights/bands r provided) while vinyasa is more lyrical and hits more stretch positions. The yin and kundalini classes are up stairs and slightly more slow paced(not heated) and very rejuvenating. Great complement to any intense class. They also have zoom classes that aren't part of intro course package One qualm i had was how no one seemed to clean the weights after use and sometimes the room smelled awfully sweaty. I know some classes are right after one another and it's humid so it is hard to do a full sweep but it would have been nice if wipes or spray were provided! They didn't even have hand sanitizer but there is soap in rhe bathroom. However, in general i really enjoyed all the classes and instructors. Special shout out to Linda for being an AMAZING instructor. She learns everyone's names and is very good at gauging the level the group and tailors the classes very well. She also does the workouts along with us which is very inspiring! read more

Hot Yoga - Classes! - Yoga Near Me - Claremont, California

All of the instructors are amazing. The HYC community is truly remarkable. I love Vianna, John, Neil and Linda so much. All bring something unique to each of their classes. Linda does a Pilates training every few months but I'd love for HYC to offer a yoga one. read more

I really enjoyed Viannas! Hitt class. It's been one of the most challenging workouts I've taken. I totally recommend taking her class for a well balanced work out and easygoing atmosphere she creates. read more

I joined Hot Yoga of Claremont August 2022. My main focus has been Pilates. The instructors Linda, Vivana, and Xochitl all bring something different during classes. My first class was with Linda and I learned something from that class and every class since then. She encourages you to push yourself to challenge yourself but, also to do the the exercise correctly as to not injury yourself. I have since started Bikram Yoga and being a beginner the instructors are patient and informative- TY Herman and Silvia. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to change their life and health for the better. You meet great people who have the same mindset - ty for all the woman I have become friends with. Ty you to all the instructors that I have taken classes with - Linda, Vivana, Xochitl, Herman, Silvia. read more

Best bikram studio around :') I wish I still lived here just for this studio and am so jealous of those who get to be a part of this community as part of their week and their wellbeing all the time. read more

Always full classes!! Pls show up early!!! Very clean. They have showers and locker room space. Hot and warm yoga. Pilates classes are my favorite. I really enjoyed the Beatles yoga class on a Sunday afternoon. If you're new pls be respectful to the instructor and class by showing my early. The instructors check everyone in and must set classes up properly. read more

Taking Vianna's hot Pilates class at this studio is a must! Her classes are not only the most intense workout, but she's also very encouraging and has really motivating music. You will have toned arms, abs, and legs after taking her class every week. The one thing I wish this studio had more of is Vianna! It would be so great if she had more classes because she's such a popular instructor. I would go to every single class she taught, no matter how early or late. read more

My Happy Place!! Great and friendly teachers, clean and beautiful studio, wonderful community!! read more

Hot Yoga - Hot Yoga Claremont - Yoga Near Me - Claremont, California

I dislike posting any type of reviews and when I do, rarely is it a 5. However, I give Hot Yoga Claremont (HYC) a confident 5 rating. Let me tell you why... I first visited around 2008 (HYC's previous location). I struggled doing yoga, but Ann (then an instructor) was so helpful with modifications and using props. I have physical limitations and embarrassed of my awkward positions. Fast forward to 2023...I see the same helpfulness continues among instructors. I love the mindfulness in addressing different abilities. I also appreciate the respect for diversity that can present itself in many forms. For example, the instructors (as well as members) come from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Many members speak more than one language and some instructors have the ability to communicate instructions in another language. Linda is one such instructor. Every class she instructs, Linda demonstrates effective communication and strives to motivate all to do their personal best. Her instructions are in English, but will sprinkle in phrases in another language to help others. Sometimes, I can't do an exercise or need to take a break. There is absolutely no shaming, on the contrary she gets me back in the "game" with encouraging words. By the way, these encouraging words are also directed to many others. It's become a little contagious because some members now give motivational "shout outs" to one another. It makes you smile and feel like you are part of a community. Linda is really good at her craft, respectful and very kind. I would dismiss any description to the contrary. If I knew how to post this completely anonymously, I would. I usually don't share about my experiences, but this is an exceptional case. A grateful thank you to HYC! read more

I love this yoga class. The owner is so responsive and helpful. All the instructors will pay attention to students and guiding to the right position. I love instructors Brooklynn, xochilt and Elena. Three of them always give me either optional pose or lay down. Listen to the body. They encouraged me a lot. Now I loved it and addicted to it. I feel so good every time after the class, so refresh. I loved large class and working with other classmates and meeting new friends. Large class will give you the motivation to workout when you see other people are doing the same thing. Xochilt always said, it is your goal and your journey. Love this place so close to my house too. read more

A little disappointed. I got up early to go to a morning class and no instructor or staff member was there, just 20 or so yogis confused on why the class was cancelled without us knowing. Turns out they just cancelled without telling anyone. When I asked how I can know beforehand when the class is going to be cancelled they just said "well usually there's a sub". The vaccine requirement is a little odd too but they're entitled to that I guess... just a little off putting even tho I am vaccinated myself. A lot of glitches with the systems too... three of them couldn't figure out how to charge me for a water bottle and they ended up just giving it to me to make up for the class I went to that got cancelled. I would love to give them another shot and just because I had a bit of a negative experience doesn't mean it's a bad place idk. read more

My fitness journey with Linda began 1 year ago. Hot Pilates has helped me achieve weight loss, build a strong core and manage anxiety. Each class begins with a brief grounding that helps establish focus and self purpose. Linda gives clear and concise instructions. She gives options and demonstrations for students to pick their personal challenge level. My favorite part is the end breathing exercise accompanied with message of positivity and encouragement for goodwill. The studio is always clean and has a nice variety of weights & band choices. I highly encourage anyone on a wellness journey to try Hot Pilates, it changed my life for the better. read more

Wow, what an absolute waste of money and time. I bought the deal package off of Groupon and had high hopes for this class, only to be met with micro-aggressions and being jam packed in a small space with 30-40 people as if we were sardines. Mind you, this was hot pilates so the stench was RANCID. Linda, who thinks she invented pilates, proceeded to be passive aggressive towards me by making a snide remark that had racial undertones to it. "How many languages do I need to tell you this?" By the way, her instructions were vague and unclear. As a South Asian woman, I felt singled out and did not appreciate this hostility from her, especially for my first class in that center. As somebody who has done pilates for YEARS, I find this studio to be unprofessional and unfriendly towards minorities and I advise any beginners and anyone that is BIPOC to steer clear of this place. read more

This was my first time trying hot yoga and I was nervous and didn't know what to expect however Sharon was very welcoming! She is a great instructor made me feel comfortable and gave me some tips to prepare for class. It was such a great workout! read more

I've been a member of HYC for over 12yrs now. The diversity, support, encouraging and positive environment speaks volumes as to my loyalty with the studio. All of the HYC Teachers are amazing, well respected and always go beyond to make each student feel welcomed and supported. I particularly take lots of Pilates classes with Linda, who is one of the best teachers I know. She's energetic, amazing, mindful and executes outstanding detailed instructions, while taking her students to a new fitness level. Her consistent class size speaks volumes as to her ability to teach daily diverse classes. Always giving her 100% and showing up; her motivation is one of a kind! She's well respected and supported by a diverse group of HYC members. So grateful for our HYC community! read more

This review is long over due. I've been a member of this studio since before COVID, almost 5 years . I can't express enough my gratitude and appreciation to Anne (owner) and ALL her instructors. Everyone makes me feel welcomed and part of the family. This studio has become a second home and their kindness and positive support has been overwhelming. This is just one of the many reasons why I go to the studio. Also, Hot Yoga Claremont offers a variety of classes from hot HITT Pilates , Yin , Bikraim, Kundalini and Sound Bath are some of my favorites. It never is boring! read more

I love this studio the instructors are sweet and encouraging. The classes are challenging and worth the workout. Only thing is I might have to change studios as they dont offer enough early evening classes. It would be great if they offered more evening classes for Vianna and Neil. read more

A+++ I've been taking yoga classes here since 2006. There's a lot of variety in terms of class options. All the teachers are super friendly. If you're new, there are some great intro deals. I highly recommend Hot Yoga Claremont! read more

Went in for a stretch after being away for a while. Hot yoga Clarmeont used to be Bikram Yoga, but they have moved to the shopping center next to Sprouts off of Foothill. The new gorgeous studio is brand spanking new with incredible hard wood floors, NO more carpet. Yay! The heat is stronger than ever and helps warming up your body for that incredible 90 min stretch. Today's class was a killer and worth every drop of sweat. There is another room upstairs, no heat but it's remote and tranquil. Love the new location. Great motivation to get back into doing yoga on a regular basis. That's my New Years resolution. Parking is ample and easy which is a great change to the old location. Anyways totally recommend this new spot. Check it out you will love the new changes. Good job Anne, you did an amazing job! read more

See all

You couldn't ask for a more relaxed, fun loving caring group of people to help get you aligned in more ways than one! The studio owner and the entire staff are just great people who really want to provide you with the best experience possible. Great classes. Great instructors. Great facility. Clean read more

Great instructors - cool spot right next to Sprouts and a nice little independent coffee shop.

They offer various styles of yoga and Inferno Pilates for all levels, it's open 7 days a week with plenty of classes daily, and it's a beautiful, clean, welcoming space. read more

Please note that this review is no longer relevant as I have been informed that the studio location has changed. I haven't been to the new studio so what is below is antiquated. Great air control - never once during practice did I ever feel like I was out of air. The place is a bit hard to find as it isn't visible from the street but once you get there, there's ample parking. One downside that concerns me is the neighbourhood. Apparently the local drug addicts break into cars occasionally while students are practicing. Remember to make sure to secure all articles in your car and keep items out of sight. read more

Ok... so I FINALLY made it to the new location and it is WONDERFUL !! NO smell!! So clean. The floors are beautiful ! I am so happy that they moved to a larger facility with better parking and a much cleaner environment ! Congratulations read more

Today was day two of bikram. Up until yesterday, I had never set foot in a yoga class. This is going to be interestingly embarrassing, thought to myself. The facility is relatively easy to miss, so do keep an eye out for it. Parking spaces are really limited so that may be an issue for late stragglers. Usually the instructor is the person at the front desk. They're all really friendly, and are willing to answer your questions regardless of how seemingly insignificant or ridiculous they might be. "Is my leg really supposed to go up there??" So far I've had Nancy and Cynthia, while both go over the same routines, their methods are different. They both know their shit though, no doubts there. The class has carpeting, which at first seems like a very unappealing idea for a room of sweaty people, but everyone uses their own mats and towels, and I'm fairly certain the carpet gets cleaned. Class is almost always 3/4 full to completely filled so make sure you arrive early to secure a spot. Wear loose, breathable fabric. You'll drench anything you're in, so the less the better. The room is heated to about an average of 100 degs. At first, you feel claustrophobic, like the heat is going to choke you up, but you get accustomed to it, some sooner than others. The yoga moves/ positions themselves for the most part, simple, and with practice, very doable, but the heat definitely adds an element of difficulty. Everyone in that class has varying skill levels but there is a noticeable sense of unity amongst the students, new or vets. The bathroom/changing room, while small, has cubies for your stuff. The best part is completing the routine and walking out into 90 degree weather (the weather as of this week) and thinking WOW 90 degrees is NICE and nippy! Great class. They have deals online, so be sure to check 'em out. They don't come cheap but as long as you show up and put your work in, it's all worth it. read more

Have been practicing hot yoga for quite some years. Found this studio after our move to Claremont, I have to say they have good instructors and the owner tries her best to provide a variety of class choices. It must be a lot of hard to keep a business running during this pandemic and they're still standing strong. Personally, I feel that right now is a good time to practice - with social distancing and good health precautionary protocols, I feel quite safe to attend classes in-studio. Seeing other studios closing, I intend to support this local business. read more

Just took my friend here because her back was injured and lemme just say that NEITHER of us are yogis by any stretch of the imagination haha. Picture more like.... meat heads lol. Anyways, the staff was VERY FRIENDLY, welcoming and patient with us. I called ahead of time to let them know that my friend had an injury and the instructor even went out of her way to research her condition We did the bikram class... and that shit is challenging for sure. But I never once felt shy or embarrassed for sucking at yoga because the staff and members were so kind. I'll for sure be going back soo. read more

Found this studio on yelp during a visit and called to make sure I could use the check in. Anne reluctantly said that if I had to, she would allow it.. but otherwise it's $20 for the week as intro offer. My thing is, if you have a check in offer, honor it and don't scoff when asked. Or just take it off! Besides that, the class itself was interesting and a little different from other Bikram classes I've taken in the past. One girl passed out in the first ten minutes from heat and the teacher was great at helping her and making sure she was tended to. Overall, great studio. The heat was perfect, the room was spacious and awesome, no smells at all. The actual Bikram class isn't one I'll take again personally, as I prefer something a little more fast paced and different. I don't see myself personally going on a weekly basis like I do my other studios right now as a 7-10 time a week yogi. read more

I love hot yoga and have really missed going since the pandemic. However, now that they are requiring a vaccination to attend classes, I will never be going back. read more

The classes are a great workout and a great distraction from stress. An annual membership doesn't work for me because I'm constantly in/out of town, but Joe and Carol (owners) are really great about helping you get the most for your money. When she realized that I had bought a 20 class card for $200, Carol called me to offer me the student semester package (it's cheaper for unlimited classes) but I actually needed something stretched over several months b/c I'm constantly out of town for weeks at a time. So instead, she offered to freeze my account if I was going to be gone for a long time so the month didn't get wasted. When I went to do just that, Joe realized I really can't get in that often so he offered to extend the expiration date. They are really gracious about making it worth your investment and not having you waste your money. I really appreciate that about any business! read more

I have been doing Bikram on & off for over 10 years. I started at the old studio off of Indian Hill. I dreaded that facility because it was deplorable, but I loved the practice so I dealt with the conditions. When Anne took over and started making changes, I was ecstatic. She has done an amazing job with revitalizing and modernizing the studio. First by moving locations & that dreadful carpet and second by adding so many more options in classes. I love all the added lil things she implements into the studio. Like the sweet potato challenge and the holiday festivities. Monica Muniz is the reason I fell in love with Yoga. She was at the old location the very first time I ever tried Bikram and she was like a breath of fresh air. She is always upbeat & positive. She truly cares about you as a student and goes out of her way to correct or improve your posture. Without her, I would have been doing the wrong things for a very long time. Little tweeks she has mentioned have stayed with me through the past decade and I can hear her voice or direction even when Im in a whole other studio in a whole different state or town. Not many of the other instructors take the time to improve ones positions and I probably would have given up when I first started if not for her instruction. I also love her closing affirmations and LIVE for the sound bowl. My next favorite is Vanessa. She has so much energy and is always so motivating. I love her for Hot Hiit & Barre where I need the most inspiration. She too is always dynamic & positive even when she is trying to torture us. She always gives different versions of the exercise to fit your strength level and she too walks around to correct bad posture which I think is vital in achieving maximum performance. I love her end of the class quotes & affirmations that really have a positive stamp on the rest of my day. Next is Marquise. Unlike Monica & Vanessa, whom I have had a long history of learning from, he is a more recent instructor that I have grown to value. He too is highly knowledgeable and you can tell that he genuinely cares about the practice and that people learn the correct form. He explains each pose easily in a way that resonates with you and sticks for future classes even if he isn't the one leading the class. I thought I knew all the correct moves but he has taught me some things that have slipped past Monica & Vanessa's eagle eye. Lol. He also sometimes talks in an accent & lightens up your load at the most precise times. It is funny and the humor somehow makes the time go by faster and makes you forget that you are dying. I have been to many other hot yoga studios since first walking into that one on Indian Hill and I have had countless instructors through out. These three are the gems that plant the seed of adoration for this unique exercise. They help to improve the health, knowledge and happiness in the student and somehow make it a pleasurable experience. Another instructor Ive had a couple of times and enjoyed was Eric for Hot Hiit. He is directive and makes everything easy to follow. He ALWAYS has great music. I have tried some of the other instructors. Some things Id suggest is to always at some point open a door. Get the air circulating. It gets stale and thick which makes it more miserable than it already is. I have never had to leave a class early or walk out in over 10 years due to it being too much. I also have done back to back classes numerous times. But a few weeks ago for the first time I did walk out and leave because the instructor never moved off the platform. It was a pretty full class and even though many were lying down skipping poses to regain themselves. No hint was taken. Even in between the standing and floor series when there is a break, she still did not turn on a fan or open a door. It was hell. Overall this is a great practice to try and to be a part of. You sleep better, feel better and just live better. Anne is also awesome and generous by extending Groupons or specials that have expired or that you have taken too long to use. Thanks Anne for adding to our community with your establishment and for the great people you have leading the way. read more

I really like this yoga center. When I was on the search for hot yoga I told myself I would stay committed to finding a good fit.
