Jen and Rebecca are my absolute favorites -- they actually walk around, correct your form, and make sure you're not just sweating but moving safely too. I probably shouldn't be spilling the secret (it'll make it harder to book classes with them, lol), but they're seriously the best.

Our instructor Ben was very nice and gave us some techniques when we tried the different courses. It was busy with Birthday parties and others but it didn't feel too crowded. This was a great rainy day activity and workout. I was sore the next day but it was worth it. We did a good amount of courses and we had time to go back to a couple of them. I found Gravity Vault through work and I'm glad I did! I'll be back again!

I started at Doonya taking Shruti's classes, and later switched to the Heron St location for Palak's sessions. Both of them are amazing instructors! The steps are broken down into easily graspable parts, the choreo is a little challenging but at the same time not too complex which lets you also focus on the "working out" part of it, and moreover the energy level of the instructor is what makes this class truly motivating and pushes you harder. Palak also organizes happy hours, which is a great way to meet people if you're new to the city. Would definitely recommend this class for a fun workout!

You learn to embrace the shake. Once you take a class, you'll understand what i mean. LOL. The instructors are super sweet and their playlists are so great that I start lip syncing to it to distract me from the actual workout. The class is 45 minutes long. After my first class, I couldn't laugh, sneeze, or even get out of bed/chair without feeling my abs for three days. It was worth it, so don't let me discourage you. I discovered a new kind of workout and it's a lot more enjoyable. I am very happy that I gave this a chance and now I go nearly everyday. So trust me, it gets better. I've taken classes with almost every instructor and they're all amazing. If it's your first time, definitely let them know. They'll help you get familiar with the Megaformer. I'm so glad Fairfield has this gem.

Reform Room is so gorgeous! I found them through Instagram and was excited to try it out. I've done…read moreLagree in the past, but I'm happy there's now a studio closer to me. The Reform Room app made everything super convenient--it eliminates the pressure or pushiness of memberships that other gyms or studios often have. They offer a great first-time special: $35 for 2 classes, which is perfect if you're just trying it out. From the app, you can purchase more class packs, individual classes, book the sauna, and easily schedule classes up to two weeks in advance. The entrance was a little tricky to find, but it's along the main road, and the door is right in between Lipstick Lounge and Caritas Spa. There are a few parking spots right by the entrance, but there's also a large lot in the back. Everything was super clean and brand new! They sell the cutest grip socks, and I had to stop myself from buying all of them! I met the instructors Colbly, Jasmine, Maddie, Jazmine, Alyssa, and Princess, and they're all so warm and welcoming. They make you feel comfortable during class, which I loved. I LOVED the music--my instructor played Bad Bunny, which is my favorite artist to work out to!! After taking about 10 classes now, my suggestion is that class difficulty level should be visible when booking on the app. There's no way to know which class is for beginners or for more advanced, and I think it would be helpful for everyone :) I can't wait to make this part of my weekly workout routine and take every instructor's class. 10/10--great vibes all around!!

I hate being out-of-breath and would never…read moreadd "sweating through my clothes" to my list of ... well, I'd add it to my list of things that are uncomfortable, and bordering on embarrassing. I also don't really like team things. And I don't have much good to say about over-enthusiastic people and their over-the-top motivational slogans, trying to fool everyone into "getting excited" about something crappy. Like working out. That being said, I love Kaia F.I.T. Love it. I was super unsure at first, but after even just the orientation, I knew it was going to be awesome. And horrible, because I really do still hate working out, and you do a lot of that, there. But I knew it was different than any other place I'd been to, so I was hopeful. I was worried about being the oldest girl in there (41). I was worried about being the person in the worst shape. About being the only one not able to complete the exercises. I was worried about passing out or throwing up or peeing my pants (six kids). But it turns out, it doesn't matter if I'm the oldest, or if I'm in the worst shape of the bunch. It doesn't matter if I am the Rock Star of Kaia, or a sweaty, vomit-covered pile of flesh laying in her own urine (too far?) - the girls there are awesome. And the part about not liking being a part of a team? I take that back. Just this one time. The other girls are so encouraging. And never make me feel like an idiot. Everyone cheers each other on, and that really does get you through that last little bit, when you think you can't hold that plank for even one more second. At orientation, Megan (I'll get to her in a bit!) said, "Don't worry if you're sweating or if your shirt rides up and your belly is hanging out. Nobody here is even going to notice, because we're all just focused on doing our best." Or something like that. I don't know, but the part about not worrying if your belly hangs out? That part I remembered, because let's be real: It's a legitimate concern. But to know that you can show up with no make-up, with wild hair and in a dumb t-shirt AND you don't have to worry about your shirt riding up during Standing Mountain Climbers? Prime. The workout is amazing, as well. I've lost 16 pounds (down to 140) and can DO things. I can do things I couldn't do when I started. I am getting stronger and more agile. I have energy. I feel really proud of myself, and I don't say that often. Or, really, ever. Each day is different. It's broken down into small chunks, so it always seems manageable. It's brutal, I'm not going to lie. I've never sweat this much in my life. Every session leaves me spent, but feeling - and I'm really going to say this - revitalized. This isn't a "Show up sometimes and eventually, maybe you'll see a little results" routine. This is a, "Commit to showing up, workout until you think you may actually die (maybe that's just me) and get amazing results" routine. Oh, and girls only. I love that. Fridays are Yoga, Wednesday is a running class (never gone, too scared), Saturday is a walk/run that you can bring friends and family along to. The other days are a boot camp style workout that will kick your (getting-to-be nicely toned) butt. Megan Powers is the owner and coach and everyone loves her. You can't not love her. Remember my earlier reference about the awful over-the-top, over enthusiastic, let's make everyone feel uncomfortable with my sugar-coated, sing-song voice? That's not Megan. Megan is funny and easygoing. Easygoing, but super motivating. She knows how to get the best from everyone, without making anyone feel like a loser. She puts everyone at ease right away. Megan has encouraged me to re-examine what I believed to be my limitations. It takes a pretty unique person and place for me to be comfortable enough to even attempt something that could very easily end up being incredibly humiliating. But I felt comfortable enough to try hard things and it turns out I could do them, after all. She's really knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. My husband is a fitness and nutrition superstar, and she tells me the same things he tells me, so I trust her. Plus, you can't argue with results. I'm getting smaller AND stronger. And while I can't say that I bounce out of bed each morning or that I arrive to class thrilled to be moments away from a hard, hard workout, I can tell you that I really do love (and hate) each day there. At the end, I always love it. In the middle, it's a love/hate thing. But if it was easy, this would all be a waste of time. The hour is going to pass one way or another - better to have it pass with a workout that will really, really count. Longest review I've ever written, but I couldn't leave any of it out!

At this point in my life I really needed a change and was having a hard time sleeping through the night when I happened upon a Living Social deal at 2 a.m. for Kaia and I decided then and there to give it a whirl. Wow! I was so intimidated, Kaia F.I.T. is based on muscle confusion, so every day it's different and 3 months later, it is still challenging and fun. I don't respond well to drill sergeant type tactics, and Meghan is far from it she's absolutely AWESOME! She's encouraging without being overbearing and inspiring without being pompous. I have lost 5 inches overall and continue to stay with Kaia in an effort to be strong, not necessarily skinny. Since I work in the healthcare field and am working on becoming a clinical health educator, it is imperative for me to set a good example for my patients. Kaia is helping me to change lives; Meghan is helping me to change lives. Kaia also incorporates nutrition into their boot camp and has three levels of nutrition to assist any to incorporate healthier food habits into their lives. I simply can't say enough good things about Kaia F.I.T. and what it has done for me. Come try it out you won't be sorry. Oh, and that insomnia thing? I'm sleeping through the night, every night, blissful, sweet sleep. Thank you Kaia F.I.T and Meghan for making me stronger every day!
