Can't even say how grateful I am to have Happy Heart Yoga classes in my life…read more I found Micky and his business by an events Fb group for Davis. I thought free yoga why not? But especially I missed circuit training and knew I wanted to do something more consistently. I started out with one class a week and that's grown into three times a week. I feel stronger (I can do 7 pushups straight now!!) , am supported and held accountable as he gives a lot of great advice, healthy eating tips and even text messages me ideas on meals, exercises that pinpoint certain painful areas. I enjoy meeting people in classes too! I feel as though I've hit the jackpot with an excellent trainer and coach with small classes that don't feel overwhelming or pushy. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for someone trained, exacting and gives you a run for your money with your workouts!

I dropped into Performance 22 Gym for their 9/11 Fireman workout and WOW... apparently "warm up" means a run and casually climbing 9 flights of stairs. Then it's burpee everything, kettlebells, rowers, bikes, toes to bar... basically a full identity crisis midway through. Coach was great though, the kind that smiles while you question your life choices. Left feeling weirdly amazing and mildly attacked (my favorite combo). Love a gym I can't dominate on day one... gives me something to chase. Easy booking on ClassPass which is clutch for travelers. No showers that I saw, but bathrooms and water are there... and honestly you'll be too busy surviving to care.

Laura is absolutely fantastic! She is thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable, kind, and always makes…read moresure that you are comfortable. She provides an amazing full body workout and helps you work with your body at your own pace. She first teaches you the basic fundamental exercises and how to use of the equipment but Laura's classic pilates instruction quickly develops a real awareness for your own body. You will learn to work with ALL the parts of your body (including the brain!) and even the transitions between exercises are important to keep the work one seamless continuous flow. And yes, you will sweat! It's quite obvious that Laura absolutely loves pilates and the great respect that she has for the classic pilates really shows. Also, the studio is clean, airy and has lots of natural light, and conveniently located in downtown Davis. 100% recommended!

Yesterday I had my first ever Pilates lesson and today I'm thinking what kind of timeline I need to…read moreput in place to become a Pilates instructor. This place is legit! I had a lesson with owner Laura Cotler, and it was one of the most eye-opening workouts. She spent a lot of time going over the fundamentals of breath work, alignment, and getting me comfortable with the equipment. It was a great mix of feeling like I could actually do some cool stuff already (shoulder bridges, anyone?) and realizing I was like jello in muscles I didn't even know I had. I really like Laura's teaching style, in fact she reminded me of my former ballet instructor. She was very confident and has an eye for detail that seemed intuitive. I can be kind of a sensitive flower when it comes to one-on-one training and she kept it relaxed and focused without pressure. She seems like a real person and not a crazed workout Barbie. She also addressed every one of my concerns I had that other yoga instructors, even physical therapists had blown off, like ankle pronation and hyperextension in my knees. I also love the free long sleeved stretchy black logo T-shirt I got with my first lesson! I wore it around town the rest of the day and felt super svelte. Some other cool things: 1. The studio is open and light with cork floors and feels and looks very clean. 2. Bathroom is clean and well-stocked. 3. Free 3 hour parking in the garage directly behind the studio. 4. Unlike yoga where everyone has to be silent squirrel, Pilates studios often have a couple private lessons and classes running at once without creating distraction. I don't like to do my workouts in silence. Makes me nervous. Unlike the gym though, everyone seems very focused on their own work. No "how you doin'?" 5. I bought a package deal for private lessons which saved me some dough. 6. Online booking for classes and private lessons. I scheduled another private lesson with Laura for next week and I'll be counting the days!

I joined this Pure Barre Davis studio a few months ago after the grand re-opening under new…read moremanagement. My experience so far has been incredibly positive- Pros: 1. There are three types of regular classes available on a weekly basis- Classic, Reform, and Empower with consistent times and rotation between formats and instructors. Classic is the most straightforward and best for all levels of fitness. Reform adds an extra level of challenge with stretchy bands and these sliders that I think are so much fun to use (this one is my personal favorite). Empower adds arm and ankle weights, and a platform. I love each type of class I've taken and find each meets my fitness goals. I'm currently training to run my first half marathon and the cross training with Pure Barre has helped me increase my running pace and prevent old injuries from flaring up. 2. The quality of classes is consistent between instructors (though each has her own style) so I know what to expect. I'm able to go to the 6am class before work and know I will get a great workout. The intentional rotation keeps everything fresh. 3. The app makes it really easy to review the weekly schedule and book my preferred classes ahead of time for the week. I find this to be the extra motivation I need to stay consistent with my workout schedule. With 3 small children and a full time job, this is exactly what I need to stay on track. 4. There are monthly challenges to participate in to earn prizes, I find this to be both fun and motivational. Example- this month is BINGO, so each person can earn prizes for doing a certain number of push-ups, taking certain classes, holding a 90 second plank, etc. It's inspiring me to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things. 5. The new owners are three women from Davis collaborating with other Davis small businesses to intentionally support and build the community. They are constantly establishing new partnerships which then offer Pure Barre members discounts as well as opportunities to attend cool special events. I attended the pop-up class at Great Bear recently and found it so refreshing to take an outdoor class complimented afterward by a well-earned glass of wine shared in good company. 6. The pricing is competitive with surrounding and similar businesses. For the amount of classes events I like to attend I find the unlimited membership to be the best cost savings. When I first joined I tried the 1x per week plan, but I felt so great after every class I upgraded to unlimited right away. They do run sign up specials on top of the already very reasonable price if you're looking for a deal or are a student. 7. I've found the owners to have a very customer service oriented mindset, so for example, when I was out with Covid there was no trouble freezing my account. 8. The merchandise in the front of the store is well priced and high quality. I found some brand name items for less than I can get them online. They also have some unique products like special hairbands and arm weights I had never tried before, but now I'm hooked! 9. The studio is clean and well maintained-an absolute must these days! Cons/Opportunities- 1. I know staffing has been a challenge. That being said, they're very thoughtful with their scheduling, so for me there is always a class available during the hours I want to work out. I'm looking forward to them adding even more classes to the schedule. I'm looking forward to dropping in any time I feel like getting a workout in or to go shopping for new workout clothes any time. In summary, I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Davis area looking to improve their fitness while supporting a locally owned small business. I would also recommend a visit to Pure Barre Davis to anyone from out of town looking for a unique and community oriented fitness experience.

Pure Barre Davis checked every box...and somehow still didn't fully hit for me. Super clean, very…read moreaesthetic, polished in that corporate way, and the outreach is strong (texts, emails, plus an owner came up to greet me and ask about injuries which I appreciated). Booking through ClassPass was easy, and they offer a free first class for locals. Cute retail moment too, just pricey. I took a Classic class and yeah, it works all those tiny muscles you forget exist, but I was slipping around even in grippy socks (they do sell a double-sided grip pair I've never seen before...lowkey wish I grabbed them). The tubing band situation wasn't my favorite either, it dug in and felt more distracting than helpful. Everyone was kind and the studio runs tight, but the vibe just didn't land for me. The room was freezing, the music felt quiet, and I kept wanting more energy, more heat, more of that push where you walk out drenched. This felt like I could go straight to brunch after, full face still intact, which is not usually my workout goal. I can see this being a great add-on to a routine, just not my main thing. Solid 4 stars because they really do everything right... I just wanted a little more fire.

They had scales planned for people who weren't able to safely execute the workout as planned, which made me think the coaches were experienced and they cared deeply about the longevity of their members. The coach and the owner made a point to talk to us before the workout and they remembered our names and gave us affirmations as we worked through a 30 minute WOD. Also, the members were friendly and spoke with me throughout the evening. I am looking forward to the next time I can drop in, I had a really great time!
