I have been a member of this studio for about 3 years, and it has transformed me beyond my…read moreexpectations. Classes are taught to be simple enough for beginners to join but challenging enough for advanced athletes. As a result, every type of person walks through the doors here - age, gender, race, identity - and they're all welcomed in. It takes me 30 minutes one way to get here. On that drive, I think of how many studios I pass - many of which I've tried but none of which have stuck for me. I gladly do that drive up to 5 times a week because the community here is simply unmatched. Not only that, but I now have defined abs even when I'm bloated, post-vacay, haven't worked out in a week, etc. and that comes from the consistency, support and methodology that only Rhythm and Release has offered me in South Florida. Now quit reading and sign up for a class!

Going to this gym has become my new hobby! The owner, Kailey, brings an unmatched level of care,…read moreknowledge, and passion to every workout. It's such an encouraging, women-centric environment with a tight-knit community where everyone cheers each other on. The spinning coaching of Gabriela is uplifting, and they do a fantastic job modifying movements so you're challenged but never overwhelmed.

You can expect to get a little breathless and sweaty within a few minutes of starting since they start you right away with active climbing. It takes a little time to get used to stepping and pushing/pulling vertically while strapped into the climber, since the movement is different from your other daily activities. You need to remind yourself not to crane your head and neck back---don't worry, your head will not hit the climber center pole, trust me I've tried. But if it's good enough for Bradley Cooper (see the article about Rise Nation they have posted next to the restroom), it must be good enough for me. If you're going for the first time, make sure to look at the schedule and see what levels are being offered in their classes. They have classes ranging from Level I (good for beginners, can add on) to Level III ("EXTREME"), so pay attention to what you attend. The staff and instructors are very nice and helpful about getting you situated on the climber, so don't hesitate to tell them if it's your first time. Hint: the handles that you grab onto can be removed and put in different height holders, which they will tell you. The instructors will tell you that they go between a "mid range" (regular strides) and "long range" (full strides). Their cues will alternate between these ranges, different resistances and faster/slower paces. Once you get used to the climber, don't be afraid to go faster, "rip" (reach and stride) longer and increase resistance when they instruct you to. Remember, you need to get it all in within 30 minutes! The actual class time can run up to 35-40 minutes if you stay for the full cool down and stretch, so don't expect to bolt out in 30 minutes if you want the full workout experience. It's still a very efficient workout if you're looking to change up your exercise routine! They offer lots of promotional packages that give you 10 classes for $10-15 each, so look for them online and when you go! And/or use the amazing ClassPass like me, since each class costs 6-7 credits. Parking is not too bad for the Design District, since there is a lot of street parking within a block or two of the studio's building. There's a juice bar on the same block if you want to treat yourself for all the good work you've done! Try it out, see you there soon!

Pilates is amazing, and Pilates One in Coconut Grove is the perfect place to experience it. This studio, which has been in business for nearly 20 years, offers so much more than a workout. They've created a space with a unique energy--walking in, you instantly feel safe and at home. I just finished a "Jump Class," and what a workout it was! It challenged me in ways I never expected, leaving me feeling stronger and more energized. The class was led by Jeannine, the owner, who has mastered the art of motivating and supporting her clients. Her approach is encouraging without being overwhelming, which is rare to find in a fitness studio. Even as a beginner, I felt comfortable and capable in her class. Pilates One has truly inspired me to make Pilates a core part of my fitness routine. I'm already seeing and feeling the difference, and I couldn't be more excited to continue this journey. Thank you, Pilates One, for helping me discover a new level of confidence and empowerment. Highly recommend!

I attended a class with a bachelorette party so obviously there was a big group of us. After said class, i purchased a "Drippin' in Finesse" hat that they were selling. I let one of the girls in our party try it on and she inadvertently left it behind instead of handing it to me. When i realized i was missing the hat, we were no longer in the area, and with no means to go back and retrieve it. Distraught, I called Vixen in hopes that they could do anything for me. I was at least hoping to get my money back, as opposed to being out $28 and no hat. By the time i heard from them, we had left Miami all together, so i thought all was lost But on the contrary, they were sorry that i had left the hat and that they could possibly mail it to me if i would be ok with paying for the packaging fee! They could've easily said no to my request, but instead they went to great lengths to send me my beloved hat. Thanks so much vixen! I wish i lived in the area just cuz i feel like i would be treated like part of the family there. You girls are beyond great. Thanks so much for going above and beyond for me! I really appreciated it!!!
