The instructor didn't wear a mic and it was impossible to hear her even though I was in the front row. I had to rely on watching others to figure out what we were supposed to do.

I was a client here for about a year and a half. During that time, I did incredibly deep trauma…read morework utilizing EMDR and uncovered many painful layers of my past. I'm grateful for the work I was able to do but I feel it's important to share some of the struggles I experienced as well for those looking for trauma-informed care. Unfortunately, my sessions were increasingly impacted by my therapist falling asleep during them, including during some of my most vulnerable moments and I was left at times to awkwardly direct my own sessions knowing no one was listening. This was the only therapist I'd ever made it past the "second date" with and I gave so much grace despite this happening multiple times because there's another wound of tolerating things that don't feel good for too long. Plus I like her as a human. Additionally, the time prior to this, when I finally had the courage to bring it up after blatant sleeping and not just nodding off, we had talked about and I specifically said that I don't care if you're too tired and you don't realize it until the moment I'm sitting in the office, I would rather you tell me that and I go home than that ever happening again. At that time, my husband changed his work schedule so that I could get in earlier in the day. This last time, yesterday, I had just opened the session with how therapy was the only place I felt safe enough to feel lately. Joke was on me. To look over and see the therapist asleep mirrored so much of my childhood pain and completely broke my trust for the last time. Only this time, I was able to get up and walk out which is a testament to how much work I've done and what I've accomplished. She didn't need to choose me yesterday because I finally did. In addition to that, communication with the office as a whole was very difficult. Calls and emails often go unanswered. One day when I took my daughter to the Gahanna office and was waiting in the waiting room, the admin person and another therapist were talking openly about people and I refused to ever wait in the waiting room again after that and would wait in the car for my daughter's session to be done. I've heard other clients saying they can't get ahold of anyone at the office and it's been weeks. Mistakes happen, people are human, but in an industry where clients are doing heavy emotional work, the bar seems to be set real low at Renew Wellness. I don't know where I'm headed and I'm not worried about it like I was last time when I panicked thinking I'd have to be starting over from the beginning with someone new because I know I'm going to be alright! I'm not starting over at all, I am continuing. With more clarity, more self trust, a deeper understanding of what I deserve and a knowing that I'm not too much. You're not either. I don't share this out of bitterness, but out of a hope that others like me who have been conditioned to tolerate too much know that they're allowed to expect presence, responsiveness, and safety in their healing spaces.

I got out of my comfort zone maybe most of the time during the whole 60 minutes of barre. Lindsay G thank you so much for putting this event together. Both you and Allison rocked this class. Allison was our instructor and really good one. For a person with very little barre experience she made me feel super comfortable learning it with the small movements to the weights and barre itself. Everything Allison did she talked you through in the class. You can tell Allison had a lot of experience in this and when I talked to her after the class I learned she used to teach barre in Chicago and moved her later to teach at Otterbein and Bexley Yoga. She made the class so much fun too, like she let us pick out out music which was 90's themed and everything just feel into place from there. Lindsay also got us these cute pair of barre socks too. We all modeled them at the end with our barre poses. I would totally come back here again and not just take barre but also try the yoga classes to help with my anxiety and stress. I know a lot of my friends from Bexley come here and rave about other instructors too, so I'll be back soon! Thanks again Lindsay and Allison for a great time!

And…read morestaying at Bexley B+B just a few steps away, Bexley Yoga seemed like a solid location for an early morning class. The Yay: -Easy online registration -Low key, casual studio with water station and restroom off to the side -Nice playlist during my flow class -Clear instruction -Free mat rental -Super convenient to where I was staying in Bexley The Meh: -$18 for a drop in class reads on the spendy side to me, even with the free mat usage -I take a practice a fair amount of hot (flow) yoga, and this flow class seemed super fast. As in I didn't have very much time at all to stretch or settle into any pose in particular. It felt rushed throughout, with the exception of shavasana. I'd definitely try Bexley Yoga again next time I'm in the neighborhood to hopefully get a better picture of their practices.

I don't live in Bexley but I'm often met with friendly classmates and the teachers know my name. Parking is easy to find and the studio is clean, with ample sanitizers around. Often they have free protein bars for grabs... BONUS. The owner is friendly and has been responsive to issues I've had with scheduling. I do think a few upgrades would go a long way. For one, there is not enough equipment for each member in some of the fuller classes - there seems to be a shortage of 3lb and 4lbs weights. I'd LOVEEE new equipment to help switch up the variety of the class - like ankle weights, pilate rings or weighted balls. Just a thought. There's only so much you can do with body weight, a ball and 5 lb or less weights in a barre class. Most of the teachers are creative and great at adding variety but other times it feels a bit stale. I also noticed in the classpass app its says free towels and water. There isn't water or towels. There's a brita filter water pitcher in their back area inside of a fridge but I'm not sure if it's open to the public. I've been dying of thirst before and asked about water and was told to grab a glass from the cabinet and use that brita - I felt like I was at a friend's house asking an adult for a drink, lol. Anyway, a water cooler would be wonderful. A girls gotta stay hydrated to be well! Thank you Be Well for fostering a nice, friendly environment and having some of the best barre teachers around!

Body Buzz Smart Fitness operates at the Kenwick Studio and out of the Columbus Dance Theatre…read more The Columbus Dance Theatre location has the Ballet for Rookies class, while the Kenwick Studio hosts workshops and the Body Buzz classes. Ballet for Rookies is a class that is accessible to all levels and ages. Christina, the owner/instructor, does an amazing job teaching and encouraging students! She brings her years of experience (professional) and education (MFA in Dance) to create a fun and challenging class. Christina encourages creativity and playfulness. I've always worried about looking silly while exercising, but I felt at ease in this class (and dare I say, occasionally I felt as graceful as a dancer?). She cues modifications for differing levels and she is great about correcting form. You can tell she wants her students to enjoy the class and be safe while doing it so that they can dance for many years to come! I've taken many Barre classes, but secretly felt that they were more of an aerobics class (or the jazzercise for the new millennium). I loved that these classes focused solely on ballet! In no way did it feel like less of a workout. You will definitely feel it in your legs the next morning!

I started off going to the Ballet for Every Body class on Tuesday nights on the recommendation of a…read morefriend. I'm not much of a dancer, and ballet doesn't appeal to me that much, but this friend recommended it so highly that I gave it a shot. Christina Providence, the teacher, is amazing. She encourages everyone to get comfortable in their bodies, and, as simple as this sounds, has had a profound impact on my life. It turned out I had all these injuries that Christina helped me realize and then work through. The basic upshot is that she leads us through lots of restorative routines (aka, a lot of laying on the floor or rolling around) that have more or less completely healed up all sorts of chronic injuries I had from years of playing sports, being in front of the computer, and general tension. So, the Tuesday night Ballet for EveryBody class is a great place to start. It's really affordable, accessible, etc. I'd thought that the other classes were probably too specialized for me. But, about a year ago, I entered into a really stressful period of my life that unfortunately isn't showing signs of letting up any time soon. Christina recommended that I try the Monday night class, which she said was pretty good for stress-reduction. It's AMAZING. We do typical pilates things on the equipment but also a lot of restorative things like short meditations, and things that feel very relaxing (again, a lot of lying on the floor) but that are actually really good at releasing tension and even strengthening. I legitimately credit this class with helping me manage this incredibly stressful thing in my life. I played competitive sports until I was 26, and, even at my peak, I had a stubbornly weak and puffy core. Now, at 34, weight management is easier than its ever been, and I'm pretty strong and lean. I honestly think this is because of the precise exercises we do in the classes I've taken here. Oh--I also get reiki now, once a month, from a different practitioner, also named Christina, and it's been amazing as well. The best way for me to explain it is that the effects of it last a lot longer than a regular massage. It also helped stop me from grinding my teeth at night. Anyway. I wrote so much here because I really can't recommend this highly enough. I feel like this studio taught me how to listen to my body, and that's no small feat. I should also mention that there is no body shaming, ever, and that strikes me as unique. They never rush, they meet you exactly where you are, and the teachers I've taken classes from all seem genuinely excited to be there. So, yeah. I'm a Core Poetry Evangelist, basically, because I started off as a skeptic and the classes there have helped me immensely.
