I went with a friend to a Sunday afternoon aerial yoga class! We were so excited to find Joya who offered this type of class so we could try something new! Upon arrival we walked in and it was so empty in the front room. We waited a while and peeked around at the merch but no one came to the desk and the class was starting soon so we wandered into the back. We found the only room with silks hanging and entered, the instructor was incredibly off-putting and cold. She didn't welcome us, or even look at us when we approached her to intro ourselves. She scolded us for not checking in properly even though no one was in the building to tell us. She put my friend and I in far apart spots and when we requested to be near each other she huffed. The class itself is a whole lot of fun. Being new to using silks, the instructor explained the movements well and I felt confident in executing new moves. After she felt out the class she even walked us through a more advanced upside down movement. There was one student who was clearly very advanced in aerial yoga/acrobatics so the instructor had him do the majority of the demonstrations. read more

Aloha, So I've waited 2 months before writing my review. I've attended over 50 % of the classes offered at all 4 Joya locations: - Livermore - Pleasanton - Dublin (before the closure) - Blackhawk I initially sign up for 1- month trial for $39.00. After that was complete I waited a week before I sign up for 3 month of all access pass (all access allows use of all locations) . Since I joined in October , I've completed 44 classes. I have attended classes at all four locations. I chose to try Joya because it offers Bikram Yoga, Circuit, HIIT, and more! All of the facilities are amazing. Their facilities are always clean and I love that three locations have showers. I enjoy attending 5:45 AM and 6:00 AM classes. The instructors are always energetic and excited to teach! , Considering most of us get up at like 4:45-5:00 AM to be at class by 6:00 AM. I have not yet attended - Joya Cycle (I have a sciatic issue) - jBarre (availability/classes always full) - jFit (availability/classes always full) - Cardio Blast (availability) - Ariel Yoga II (availability) Again, I can only attend early morning classes due to schedule. I have attended a few weekend classes which there is a ton of availability at all locations. I personally love how intense the HIIT/Pilates and Jcircuit classes are. I really get a total body workout in those classes. I love that Joya offers HOT Bikram in 60min, 75 min, and 90min sessions. I do one of those classes once a week. Bikram has done wonders for my health since I started doing it in. 2014. If you are looking to change up your routine, or to try something new. I highly recommend you doing a one month trial for $39.00 with Joya! I'm rating Joya 5 stars because of the classes they offer, the facilities, and my personal experiences with staff and instructors!

Joya - Joya Livermore for 6:00am Heated Joya HIIT/ Pilates with Soheil! In the large classroom. - Yoga Near Me - Livermore, California

All classes are well instructed. I have taken yin yoga sound bath, cycle class, jfit, jcircuit, jstrong, and hot pilates. All have been very well instructed and the studio offers a variety of fitness. Even if a class fills up, if you get on the waitlist you have a high chance of getting in. To date, jcircuit has been my favorite class and my favorite instructor is Joslyn. Meghan, Amy, and Vmack have also been really great instructors too. I'm happy to not only to find a great, motivating place to work out but as well as a community. Thanks Joya! read more

Talk about spoiled for choice! There are so many classes running each day. I dont know how they do it! Karen (forgive me if that is not her name) at the front desk is so sweet and welcoming. And the space is super open, large, and clean! Chey is such a sweetheart. And the students also are such good vibes. Everyone is incredibly kind. I tried the aerial and yin yoga which were both great. I made use of the free 10 day pass which is such an excellent promotion! read more

I attended a Yin and Sound Bath Therapy class at the Livermore studio led by Chey and had an awesome experience. To start, Chey offers a zen card to help you meditate. My card read "You should be experiencing the life that's happening to you, not the one you wish was happening. Don't waste a moment of time trying to make other things happen; appreciate the moments you are given". This card was so relevant to me as I'm recovering from a recent heart attack. This yoga class is just what I need in my life right now to help my recovery and healing. read more

My favorites are Vanessa and Soheil always positive energy and always a great class. I appreciate them so much !

I joined Joya 5 years ago & could not be more pleased. Their 200 YTT changed my life completely for the better!

After leaving the Bay Club ( over $225 per month/ single membership) I have been overjoyed at the experience in Livermore and Pleasanton. Talk about a great value with variety, intensity levels, and qualified instructors. Jen Dussan's classes are exceptional - great music, efficient with weekly variety, structured with purpose and always leaves you feeling upbeat and accomplished! She's on the clock to remove inefficiencies and always monitoring to ensure proper form for success! I'm constantly sore and getting stronger by the week! read more

Its a great place to work out. I wish they put water filling stations in their studio classes given the fact they have high intensity classes instead of selling water bottles. If The number classes can increase in their other studios it would be the best. Overall i am happy with my experience. read more

I did an aerial and yin yoga sound bath class. Both were good classes. I fell asleep in the yin class. If you are looking for a serious workout though I recommend the Vikram and vinyasa as the other classes are more relaxation. read more

I recently took my first Bikram yoga class at JOYA after hearing great things from a friend, and it was such a positive experience. I was a bit nervous considering the temperature in the class gets as high as 105° and I only have a couple yoga classes in general under my belt but Wendy was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly welcoming and made it clear that all skill levels were supported and welcomed in her class. What really stood out was how she took the pressure off. She told me that the only goal for the day was to stay in the room for the 75 minutes of class. I felt challenged but also safe and supported the whole time. Also, JOYA's new student special is an amazing deal - $39 for unlimited classes in your first month across multiple locations! I'm excited to try more classes in the coming weeks and explore everything this studio has to offer. read more

Will start with stating the instructors are great. From spin, aerial, kundalini. and mat pilates, they're lovely However, the owner of this business is a vicious woman. I had full membership paying $160+ per month (auto pay, never an issue for the ~5 months there) and the owner not only aggressively pulled me aside and demanded I leave as I'm setting up my mat for a kundalini class but hassled me after I Inquired about towels for the sauna at the Blackhawk location. I had sent a private email expressing concern about questionable transactions taking place in a yoga class and asked the front desk ladies about towel availability for the sauna at the new Blackhawk location. I didn't think inquiring about towels for the spa or informing the business about questionable transactions was an unreasonable inquiry at the time, but evidently that was too much. We used to frequent her associated coffee shop in Livermore but will no longer send our business her way. TLDR: In her words: : "in 9 years I've never asked someone to leave." My response "in the 27 years I've practiced have I never encountered a less desirable studio due to an owner." No wonder Dragonfly Yoga won Best of the East Bay 2024, deservedly so read more

I've taken Joslyn's Jstrong class, Megan's cycle class & elevated yoga, great experiences at each of them! The studio is so nice and clean & the staff is always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for versatile workout classes. read more

Joya - Joslyn and gym - Yoga Near Me - Livermore, California

I attended the Barre class today expecting to work out, but the instructor never showed up. Unfortunately, the studio's handling of the situation made it even worse. There wasn't a good solution provided. The front desk staff should have provided an alternative such as the cycling class which was half empty. It would not have been a big deal to lend me some cycling shoes and enter that class even if it was already started. The front desk staff, all 3 of them, just have bad attitudes. Honestly I left Joya feeling pretty let down and it's just adding to many things about the studio that are disappointing. As my yearly pass winds down I'm thinking more and more about other options. read more

This review is for the services Dr. Reema offers as a chiropractor. Dr. Reema has helped me so much with the hip issues I had been having for years. I have noticed a significant difference in the level of pain. I have no pain since I have been getting adjusted by Dr. Reema. Thank you so much! read more

Such a a great gym. So many different class types and classes run all day so it's pretty easy to find a class to fit your schedule. Grab a smoothie or coffee at Steamhouse after class (it's connected to the gym but also has its own entrance). The honey cinnamon latte is delish! read more

I've never been a part of a gym which feels like a community. JOYA is wonderful! I love the staff and especially the instructors. There are heated classes, strength, Pilates, barre, and my favorite-cycling! read more

Joya is everything I need in a fitness studio all in one. I've been a member for 7 years and counting. What I love about Joya is that they offer several different modalities of classes. I can do Bikram Yoga, Kundalini, Pilates, Barre, Aerial Yoga, Cycle, Strength training, Heated and non heated classes, and more! The teachers are nothing short of amazing. They push and motivate you while creating a safe and fun space for your workout. The members become like family and also add to the positive and uplifting energy you feel entering the studio. Each Joya facility is well kept and very clean. If you're not ready to commit to a membership they have a very cost friendly intro offer. I will also say, if you're someone like me who enjoys a variety in your fitness routine then Joya definitely is a great studio join. read more

Disclaimer: I went to one class and I used to teach yoga. Went to an evening class. Worst class I've taken in a long time! Teacher offered no modifications and stayed on her mat. Music was distracting. I didn't agree with her sequencing: doing a backbend in the first 15 minutes of class is a deal breaker for me. Bodies are NOT warmed up for that. The worst part is half way into class a spin class started next door. Who designed this studio? And why would you schedule a spin class with club level loud music next to a yoga class? Overall I was not impressed. I asked for a refund and it took weeks of asking to finally get it. read more

I really like this place for the flexibility of the classes offered. The instructors are great too. I really like Angeleigh, Joslyn, Alicia, and Ashley. The hot pilates and barre classes are fantastic and i like jfit too. Aerial yoga has been a fun experience too. I have had a hard time with the late cancels and no shows though. they are very strick about the 10 dollar fee so if you are like me and have a hard time making it to class due to illness or dealing with a baby then you may struggle with this. the support you get is pretty just though emailing and you may not get a response for several days. they were however willing to help me out with some of the late cancel fees so i appreciated that. Otherwise great place and very clean too. read more

Luv this studio. What a beautiful way to start my Sunday. I was welcomed with a rainbow. Namaste read more

Joya - Yoga Near Me - Livermore, California

They didn't ask about vaccination status and NOBODY besides me wore a mask. All doors were shut as well. This violates alameda counties covid business regulations. They had no concern whatsoever that we were in a pandemic. I will never be returning to this place. The good news is I send them an email explaining how disappointed I was about the covid protocols (or lack thereof) and they offered me a refund on the aerial class I took. The actual class was fine and the lady was nice, it was just really unsafe and nobody seemed to care. read more

JOYA yoga has so many different classes! I love the amount of classes and times that are offered, so it's always easy to find something that fits into my schedule. I tried Yin Yoga with Elizabeth which has been one of my favorite classes, especially when it was outside at The Purple Orchid when it was warmer out. She has such a calming and accepting presence, and she moves in really natural flows throughout class that makes time seem fly by! I would absolutely take any class from her, and am thankful to have a studio close to home. read more

After trying out numerous exercise routines to find one I could stick with, I found my match at Joya. With 3 locations (soon 4!), many class options, and flexible hours, it has become my go-to. Each teacher brings their own special style, making every session unique. The staff members are very friendly, and the facility is consistently kept clean. I highly recommend trying their new member intro offer, which includes 30 days of unlimited visits for just $39, , perfect for those ready to make a life change. read more

I truly wish I lived closer to this place! Found this gem from a fb post and thought I'd give it a try because they do a lot of different exercise classes nothing like what I have near Hollywood. Went to the kettlebell class and thought it kicked my rear end and got a great sweat. The coffee shop in the other wing was a beautiful touch and I even signed up for a B12 shot! Luckily I didn't feel a thing and hope to see more natural energy haha. Anyway thanks Joya your staff was super nice and thoughtful and would easily live at your coffee bar. read more

Thank you to Joya and all the wonderful teachers. The studio provides various programs that would satisfy beginners as well as those who are looking for challenges. I am personally extremely pleased with my own health progression thanks to Joya read more

I love joya yoga and their wide assortment of classes. The instructors are kind and knowledgeable but also push and motivate students. I am not accountable when exercising by myself in a traditional gym. Joya has helped keep me interested in my work outs and excited to attend my workouts. I do wish there was a drinking fountain or water cooler for member use. One time I forgot my water bottle and had to buy a water from the counter. But overall a great gym! read more

I love coming to this studio! I discovered Mat Pilates and I've been hooked for months. I go to Noel's classes and love her energy so much. She's so positive and encouraging. I always leave feeling strong but relaxed. The staff here is so friendly and the facility is kept very clean. read more

I recently joined Joya with a one month promo of $39 for 30 days. It has been such a fun experience. The girls at the front are very kind and cordial. I tried the 5:30am spin class, I didn't have shoes as it was my first time and the young lady offered me a pair complimentary for the first time. My favorite class was the Cosmic Calm Yoga, it was so rewarding and rejuvenating, especially after a long day of work at 7:30pm. The lights were turned out and candles were set through out the floor. They also used sound cylinders and the instructor talked to us with positive thoughts and mindfulness. Very relaxing read more

Amazing studio with great teachers and such a wide variety of classes. I've never been to a studio that teaches Bikram, HIIT Classes, Vinyasa, AND Cycle! The teachers are also all so kind, including, and motivating. It feels like a space where everyone is welcome. I'm so thankful to have found this place and if you're thinking of trying it out I would hill recommend it! read more

I love Joya Yoga. I have been going to the Dublin studio for years. This place is amazing with very positive energy, all instructors are super nice. They have very wide variety of classes. Very welcoming staff. One request- please bring back inferno hot pilates, add another Bikram yoga class early morning so people can join before work and please add power yoga class. read more

Great teachers and classes! Happy the cold towels are back! Such a nice treat after a sweaty workout!

Been to this studio before and I had an AWESOME experience. So awesome that I decided to actually write a review on yelp rather than lurking in on other people's reviews. First of all, the studio! It's very clean-they mop up after each class, vacuum regularly and clean the bathroom often. The studio room is quite large with non carpeted floors and 2 doors on each side (which the instructors often open during the Bikram classes-sit by the door if you're new and can't stand the heat) The instructors and owners of this studio are very friendly and greet you by name. They also provide fresh eucalyptus infused towels and cut up fruit at the end of class. I'd come here all the time if I was closer! read more

Best place to work out classes with amazing instructors. Yoga class are very unique and they offer a variety

Part of JOYA yoga studio!! :) JOYA yoga has fantastic easy locations in Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore in trivalley. This Livermore location has two? Well maintained rooms that are spacious and pretty well lit! I appreciate this location ambiance the most tho the drive is furthest for me.. Each teacher has their own flavor whether it be sharing a humorous experience during a challenging pose or tips how to help ones knees. Easy to sign up through the app and get in your class! Recently been on a hot yoga / buckram kick and everyone is spaced out well. Be sure to bring your yoga towel and mat! Also the security here is very safe. Also appreciate the community events, if I could just get to one :) thanks JOYA team! read more

My husband and daughter have been coming here regularly for Bikram and Yin yoga. As I can't take heat, I decided to join them one night for Yin. Deanna welcomed me. She and all the staff were friendly. The studio room was clean and large enough to accommodate 24 mats. There are bolsters, blocks and yoga balls available for use during the classes. Carolyn the Yin teacher is friendly and encouraging. I have taken classes with her at other studios and she knows her stuff. The class followed either a Bikram or hot class. The room was very hot. It did not cool off during the class. It was too hot for me. But I can see where it could help loosen tight muscles and joints. read more

I'm a busy graduate student and have been struggling to find a studio that offers enough classes that actually suit my schedule. Across the 3 studios, classes are offered all through the early morning until the evening, making it much easier to find classes that fit into my schedule. I have only taken 2 classes so far, but both experiences were absolutely amazing. The HIIT Pilates provided a great work out and the yoga gave me a stretch that my body really needed. They offer everything at JOYA, allowing you to keep your workouts fresh and exciting. The instructors are also very thorough and kind. I will be staying here! read more

JOYA is my favorite studio hands-down! The Instructors are all very knowledgeable, helpful and you get a great work out. I love that there is a variety of classes and there are so many time slots open to fit my busy schedule. Definitely check out the barre and yoga classes! My butt has never looked better thanks to Ashley's barre class. read more

I've been a member for a month now. I take the Inferno Hot Pilates (which I think they will rename as HIIT since it's more appropriate) and spin classes. Love the instructors and how friendly all the staff member are. Parking is tough, but that's downtown Livermore for you. But I've never had to park more than half a block away. Studio is clean and doesn't smell (excludes people's scent after the workout begins!). Bring your own mats and towels or rent them. Cycle studio is tight. The bikes are close together, but I have yet to be in a cycle studio where they are not. You can rent cycle shoes. They have a café that I haven't tried yet, but is attached to studio so very convenient to get to. My only negative is that the evening classes in the Inferno Hot Pilates are packed. Even though you have to sign up for the classes in advance, you have to plead with some people to make room for you. It's also irritating when I see people saving spaces for friends and it's really not fair for people who get there early. I don't mind being close to people, but some exercises will have you bumping legs & arms with your neighbor. However, most members are understanding and reposition themselves, some not so; so be prepared for some "looks". Overall, great club. I get everything I need: cardio & strength in one place that's conveniently close to me. Also, hands down to the cool-scented face cloths they handout after each hot yoga class. So refreshing! read more
