My body has become stronger, more defined, more flexible, and the community is incredible. I've been to other sites, and this one has felt particularly like "home".

She gave me a quick tutorial on what would be the main resting positions of the class. I feel like the class wasn't a super sweaty workout but it's one my body will feel tomorrow. I worked out muscles I didn't know existed. When I'm in Chicago and in South Loop I will make sure I can take her class. She was great and her playlist was perfection!

I've been a devoted bar method client for several years and a client of the South Loop studio for…read moreabout five years. I cannot say enough about how much this workout format has improved my overall fitness level. I like to say that the Bar Method is like working out your body from the inside out, using isometric movements and breathing techniques. You will workout every inch of your body and, in time, you will become leaner, stronger, and have increased flexibility. There are a variety of classes that will challenge you and leave you in better condition than before you walked in. Further, the owner of this studio and the staff are very knowledgeable and caring and the clients benefit from their expertise. You cannot go wrong with the Bar Method! KMW

I am so happy I tried ClassPass to visit this exquisite dance studio! Ever since I was little, I…read morejust loved dancing. I didn't mind being goofy, learning different routines within a time limit, or getting bruises while trying new choreography. It certainly felt like I made a full circle journey when I went to Trey's Contemporary dance class. If you want to rediscover yourself in a safe, beautiful environment, this will be a haven for you! So excited that I found this gem, and will definitely return to other dance classes that are available via ClassPass.

This review is for the Adult classes, specifically the ballet class. When I first started going it…read morewas a monthly fee for 2 classes of your choice. It then moved to 1 class for the monthly fee. This is a little pricey considering the fees for the other studios in the area that offer adult classes. If you took ballet as a child and want to get back into it and grow, I would not recommend this studio. The training of the teachers they select for this class is wishy washy. Sometimes they have teachers that are professionals or former professional dancers, which is great. Sometimes they have teachers that trained as a dancer so they took ballet classes, but ballet isn't their thing, or in the case of 1 person they would use to sub doesn't even like ballet. I signed up for ballet. I don't want a hip hop fusion or jazz, but ballet. There doesn't seem to be any mentoring of the younger teachers so they can grow and develop. I don't see the younger students exhibiting studio etiquette. Also not sure if it's even taught to them. When I was a young student, when the class ended, you needed to gather your things and leave and the class helpers made sure you were with your parent/guardian. There's a lot of lingering so the next class starts very late, but still ends on time, so we are cheated out of time and money. They also need to be more transparent on their money practices. They would sometimes randomly cancel class or breaks in the middle of the month, with no mention of giving a credit unless you specifically call or email to inquire. If you don't inquire, they have no intentions on offering a remedy.

In town for a few days and needed a gym that offered day passes…read more The process to obtain a Day Pass was easy and the front desk was very helpful . The gym is much better than the large chain gym. Very good locker room amenities and a decent gym floor layout. Is it for serious Bodybuilders or Powerlifters ? Not the vibe here.

Hooray!! Thanks to MaZi, I've lost 17 lbs so far :p…read more I started going to MaZi Dance in April this year, so it's been almost 3 months... from two-three classes a week till six classes a week, you can tell how much I love this place. Having a wedding coming up (oh well... still 8 months to go), I decided to lose all the weight I gained during dating my fiancé ;) I started working out in Feb this year and originally just played with elliptical in my building - since I am paying assessment, why should I pay extra for gym? Of course, I got bored... at the same time, a friend of mine started going to MaZi, and that's when I fell in love with this place. Most importantly, Z-Cardio instructors - Karen, Nickie, Siobhan and others are all super energetic and enthusiastic! As each class approaching its end, I become all sweaty and start to wear the "you-owe-me-a-million-dollar" face, but the instructors are still smiling and cheering people up! Guess that's why I can never be a good instructor lol About a month ago, I started their Ballet classes :) Experience with Liz and Marisol has been perfect as well. Why I don't go to other BBB classes? Because I don't own a mat XD but I'm thinking about getting one.

The dance instructor that taught the noon class I took (Alex) was incredibly welcoming to people with a variety of dance experience (in my case, none LOL). I had struggled at first to get the hang of the moves, but eventually I was able to keep up to some extent and get a nice sweat going! I would highly recommend trying MaZi Dance if you are looking for a very fun and active way to exercise :)

Learning pole in a supportive community of other women has given me a sense of ownership over my body and sensuality that I didn't know was possible. Over the past year I've seen my confidence and physical fitness improve tremendously. I now impress myself with the tricks I can do on the pole even though I started with no prior experience. Their class structure starts very beginner friendly but has a clear trajectory that made improving easy. Fly club is an incredibly welcoming community that goes out of their way to provide a safe space to everyone- from nervous newbies that aren't confident in their physical fitness to experienced dancers with professional backgrounds in the club scene. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough as it's been a truly healing environment for me.
