First off, let me start off by saying I highly recommend Downdog Flow Yoga & Pilates Studio and…read moreMelissa as a Yoga and Pilate's teacher and here's why: Style: Melissa brings her own style and technique to her classes - it's a playful, fluid, and challenging practice - a combination of Vinyasa and Pilates. Not only do you get a good sweat but she always has a focus and intention behind it. She does a great job of breaking down the flow in an easy and methodical way and no class is ever alike. She always comes prepared with interesting and different flows and peak poses in which I admire and continue to be a student of hers as it goes to show you how much effort and work she puts towards giving the best to her students. She is always listening to her students and tailors her classes to deliver. Energy: I've been going to Downdog studio for a little over a year now and Melissa's energy and power has always been 110%. Her intensity is like no other instructor I know which permeates throughout the class. It drives her students to do better, to take us out of our comfort zones and to challenge and push ourselves pass our limits. This in turn has all of her students giving it there all every time they step into the studio. It also helps that it is a community atmosphere so you feel comfortable, engaged and always included. Personal: She goes above and beyond as a yoga instructor. Melissa genuinely cares and is concerned for all of her students. She will befriend you and always go the extra mile to guide you in the right direction of good health and well-being. She is truly on a mission to share the benefits of yoga, fitness and good health to everyone she meets. She has given me workouts, poses and stretches for restoration and follows up to see how I'm doing. Overall: Although your core will be fired up, you will definitely feel zen after every class leaving you to feel like you're ready to conquer any challenge life throws your way. If you want to better yourself on and off your mat, need a vigorous workout that is guaranteed to give you results physically and mentally, and would like to be part of a fun community atmosphere that motivates you, I highly recommend Melissa at the Downdog Flow Yoga and Pilates studio.

I really appreciate the variety of options for class times. The classes move fast, the music is great and the instructors are clear in offer instruction and offer form corrections during class. The "Breaking Down the Barre" class is frequently offered for new students to answer student specific questions on Barre vocabulary, moves, and adjustments that can be made to certain moves due to a student's injury or current limitation. At 4 weeks into doing Pure Barre, I am still floored by the intensity. Barre is no joke. Those little, tiny moves definitely strengthen, tone and humble me. Keep up the great work, Pure Barre Bedford!

I signed up for a 3 month membership, not that they gave me a contract. The manager Clarissa just…read moretook my credit card and entered it into their system, no problem. That should have been my first warning. After fulfilling my 3rd payment, I found out that I need to have surgery and won't be able to attend anymore classes during recovery. And after I recover, I'll be moving out of state to care for my dad. So I submitted a cancellation request. I tried to do it through the app as it suggested but it just told me to call or visit the studio. When I called, no one answered and I thought, I'll be there in 2 days so I'll let them know then. When I got there, the girl told me she was 'just the weekend help' and couldn't cancel my policy and I would need to email the manager Clarissa. Okay, no big deal. So I did. But apparently by the time I got in touch with her I was a few days past the "30 day policy". Now, I've already payment for the 3 month program I agreed to, so why should I need to cancel anything to begin with. To me, this was just a curtesy so they wouldn't auto charge me for another month. But Clarissa tells me that I've missed the cut off time so I'll be charged another $300 for 8 classes that I won't even be able to use and says perkily in the email that they look forward to seeing me after my recovery. Which tells me 2 things. She didn't pay any attention to what I actually said in the email and she simply doesn't care. So I call, express my disappointment and she offers to escalate my concerns, which I agree to. Then, I get an email from Hannah, the Regional Manager telling me that despite my surgery and moving out of state, they have to be consistent with their policy for all members and (again) that I'll have access to the club through the end of August and they hope to see me there. Now someone make it make sense. I've told them I won't be medically capable or logistically capable of attending classes but they still tell me they hope to see me there? This company, admittedly, may have great instructors and great classes but they have no care for their members except for the money their members are bringing in. This is a company that I would rather cut of my nose to spite my face than ever deal with again. Most companies have medical policies or relocation policies in place for members that are dealing with real life situations, but not Club Pilates. Admittedly, I should have asked for the contract before signing up, that is most definitely my fault. With that being said, their predatory practices of signing you up without offering a contract and making it oh so easy to become a member without having to sign on the dotted line are disgusting. I will NEVER sign up with this company again. Lesson learned.

This was my first time doing this kind of workout class. I was walking in the market and main and…read moresaw the building sign for it and I noted in my head to look up what it was. This class was definitely hard as a beginner but I tried to remember that this is new to your body and to give myself some grace. I did need some breaks but all in all the instructors tell you to listen to your body but they motivate you to keep going. It was a great class definitely will come back I signed up for 2 more classes of MEGA: Essentials. Which is their beginner class or for those who want to perfect their form. I do wish they had a 30 minute intro class that really went over the machines because it was hard to hear over the headset the instructors wear and I did find myself looking up and watching what others were doing. But still it was easy to keep up and understand after doing it once.

You won't be bombarded by sales pitches, just genuine support of your individual goals and challenges. Terri is truly interested in promoting good health, not some unrealistic stereotypical image that is unattainable. Terri has added numerous specialty classes (since the transition from the previous franchise) and I've tried several of them, each one is fantastic. One of my favorite classes is Bodies in Motion, which is 30 minutes of stretching and foam roller work, something I never take time to do on my own. The Yoga classes are another favorite of mine - I leave feeling relaxed and revived. I love that each week is a new focus for the 30 minute training classes (e.g. Unilateral, Trainer's choice, Core). Each week is different and continually keeps you challenged and avoids boredom. The Focused Female occasionally offers educational classes on topics such as hormone health, quality sleep, and gut health. The classes are very informative and NOT a sales pitch. I've attended a few of them and have taken away valuable information that has enriched my journey to become a better me.

The trainers create purposeful 30 min training plans for the group, switching things up daily to make it interesting and challenging. They are flexible with accommodations (shoulder for me). I've tried 3 of the specialty classes - motivating and fun! Yoga practice is exceptional - the sessions are excellent and thoughtful - my flexibility is up and my stress level is down. Nutrition program is relatively new and I haven't taken full advantage, but you can use as much or as little as you want; I take recipe ideas and short term challenges that help motivate me. I've recently become a fan of green drinks, which I would never have done on my own! Useful info on healthy lifestyle, graceful aging and life balance. My boundaries are respected, and the team is truly interested in us as individuals and in a whole person approach to wellness. Supportive and positive energy!
