I joined Performance Health & Fitness 3 weeks ago and my experience there so far has exceeded my…read moreexpectations. I took a tour of the facility, which is spacious and clean, and then took advantage of the free one week trial membership. I tried several classes and enjoyed them all so I joined at the Team Training level, which is basically small group personal training. The trainers and other members could not be more welcoming and I truly enjoy my morning workouts. I've lived in Iowa City for almost 30 years and this gym is a surprisingly wonderful find after all that time.

Working out is not my favorite thing to do, but she makes it as fun as possible while pushing me to make progress. She plays good music, too. Courtney is knowledgeable and keeps up to date on techniques and exercises that benefit different clients. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.

My strength level has improved quite a bit and the workouts are always interesting and never boring. I've worked with her for over a year and she still has exercises that I have never done before sometimes. The location is amazingly beautiful in spring, summer and fall. (Not the weights, silly) she has the garage door open when the weather is nice so you get to view rolling hills, wandering cows and many other things.

I mean, what if they don't?! (We've all seen that meme of our summer body post coronavirus. Ya know, the one of a circle?! Ugh.) Well. I personally have tried to keep my fitness routine up as a way of de-stressing. Because trust me... global pandemics make me anxious. Crashing economies make me fearful. Homeschooling my kiddos makes me nervous. (And on a lesser note... the fact that pool days and summer are indeed approaching makes me both uneasy and thrilled.) Luckily, so many local businesses are offering virtual classes. Hothouse Yoga has two classes a day on Zoom. Heck yes! This review is strictly on their online services during the pandemic. On day nineteen of my distancing I partook during the lunch hour. I adored the sense of community. Even though I could really only see my instructor, Sarah, just knowing others were doing what I was doing was oddly exhilarating. What a fabulous vinyasa class-- I could feel my stress leave my body. Hothouse Yoga... in a normal, non-distancing time... is in a super convenient location right downtown. A parking ramp lives across the street. (First hour free.) The folks that work here are very passionate and knowledgeable. Pricing is... standard? ($100 a month unlimited classes for non-students, $70 for students.) Thank you, Hothouse Yoga. You got me to feel like everything was semi-normal today. I can't wait to vinyasa with you again soon.

I didn't feel like I was being called out when I was being corrected. I didn't feel like the movements were too difficult for my skill level (which is more of a beginner, closer to intermediate I'd say), and there were a variety of options for all skill levels so that you didn't feel left out. This class wasn't incredibly serious, but it was more laidback and fun. That is also something I really enjoy because I feel less stressed/anxious. If anything, the smiles and laughter kept me interested and made me feel like I've been going there for ages. If you want to go out and try something new without the feeling of judgement then I highly recommend! Plus you get to work out while having fun! Sounds like a win/win to me. Check out their class schedule and what they offer! Their point system is different from other memberships, and it's pretty cool. So definitely look into how that works!

I was worried that I was already beyond the point of help and wouldn't be able to handle the workouts. Was I ever wrong! Carey and her instructors are EXCELLENT. They are trained and certified to make modifications when necessary to help you keep the proper form & alignment to protect you from injury. I like the variety of clients at this studio ... male/female, young/old, fit/not so fit ... and the classes easily accommodate experienced and novice side by side. I love the variety of classes and each instructor has his/her own style so you may want to try several classes to find the right fit. The classes are reasonably priced and you can schedule online or with their mobile app ... very convenient! I like to participate in the many studio "challenges" they offer because it helps me stay engaged and there are great prizes! After 4 years, pilates has made such a positive impact on my health that I don't think of it as exercise any more ... it is a lifestyle. I'm hooked! Thanks Rivercity Pilates!
