Located down a long alleyway in Islands Brygge is the brand new fitness studio, YO STUDIOS. YO…read moreSTUDIOS officially launched at the end of January 2017 and so far, they offer a wide variety of fitness classes (yoga, barre, cardio and dance) that will get the blood pumping and get you sweating.
The studio is very modernly decorated with a clean Nordic minimalistic feel. The decor is not distracting and makes the studio feel very calm. They also have a little butik at the far end of the studio to showcase their YO branded active wear. My only problem with the studio and basically, my only problem with place itself, is its small size. I assume the owners wanted to start out small and then transition into another space once they've grown their clientele, which is absolutely fine. But for the more popular classes, they might want to re-examine the max. limit. It's really annoying when you're trying to focus on your form/movement but have to be constantly worried that you're gonna run into someone else because the class is so full. In addition, the changing room is also pretty small and easily gets crowded, especially when classes are changing. But I'm not sure there is an easy solution to that.
But for me, the classes and instructors are what earns YO STUDIOS 5 stars. I could easily watch some work out videos in the comforts of my own home but having that in-person instructor and their energy to guide your work out is what makes it worth it to come to a studio. The vibe of the studio and instructors are very laidback, friendly and welcoming so you don't feel intimidated but when it comes to the workout, they will definitely kick your a** (but in the best way possible).
I also like how they utilize an online system and mobile app to reserve spots for classes and for check in. It makes registering and checking out classes super convenient. They also have special deals for membership and a free, one time 'test' class to check out the studio. But I would definitely recommend taking advantage of their 1 month unlimited pass deal for 199kr. It's totally worth it.
