(They were too intense and lacked the spiritual side that I love about yoga.) I am used to bikram and I don't believe they offer the traditional bikram sequence but I don't mind because they incorporate a lot of the same postures into their flow classes. Really love all of the teachers I've had so far and there is a lovely energy here!!! Highly recommend!!!

A True Yogi- I found…read moreCarolyn during my time of need for stress relief & she was able to provide me the support I needed. I am grateful for her warm & nurturing presence and her relaxed attitude & guidance. There were options for her classes and I went with one on one zoom, given that I've never Yoga before, I felt more comfortable with lots of personal attention. She's always able to bring me to that state of feeling grounded and very relaxed after each class, a yoga high. LOL It was exactly what I needed physically and mentally. Communication is also wonderful with Carolyn, she touch bases regularly to see if there is something specific I like to work on and she'll adjust accordingly or sometimes just checking in to see where my headspace is at :) Multiple options for classes. One on one, group, special workshops. Read her Bio, she's been practicing yoga since 5th grade! Wow!! Thank you Carolyn!

Carolyn is a Godsend to me. I would encourage anyone…read more(Everyone really!) to sample her amazing work as it is her calling and gift. Yesterday's zoom yoga session was like a doctor's prescription, it healed me in immeasurable ways. With a pesky mode of arthritis that extensive supplements, sleep regime, nutraceuticals, gentle stretching and pharmaceuticals can't make much difference, this form of physical attention to the body absolutely helps! Try it, you will not be sorry. Again, another devotee for years, but good things take time. So try it and don't give up. Try it again.

During postpartum, I developed chronic migraines and medically there was no solution to it. I was…read moretaking heavy pain killers everyday and thats when I resorted to finding a solution through natural ways.  I reached out to Priya for yoga classes and it's been the best decision that I have ever made. In about a little over a month's time, not only have the headaches lessened by 80% but I feel much stronger than before. I have taken yoga classes with different teachers many times before however I have never experienced yoga classes like the one that Priya takes. She is an incredible teacher and I really look forward to her classes.  Priya is very authentic, trusting and extremely pure at heart and this shows in how she cares for her students overall health & wellness.  She has a deep understanding of anatomy and explains each yoga pose which has allowed me to understand my body better. She challenges me in a gentle way to do better each day with the result that I have gained lot of confidence in my practice.  Each session is fun & is a blend of relaxation techniques, pranayama, yoga, assisted stretches and strength exercises.  What I really like about her overall program is that she focuses on the overall health of her students - For example in my case, apart from the focus of healing migraines, she introduced postpartum yoga exercises for helping me recover faster, assisted stretches( because she is so attentive to how her students do the yoga poses that she is able to make out which body part muscle need more flexibility), customized deep breathing & meditation techniques. I feel stronger, more flexible and much calmer than before! Thankyou Priya for making such a huge difference in my life - you have instilled the importance of yoga life long in me!!

The cost can be challenging, but I suppose this is the case for Pilates. They do offer options, from 8 classes a month to unlimited. It's a very clean facility, seems organized. Staff is kind and welcoming. The staff keeps the pretty impeccable. The location is great, nested in a very convenient plaza in Danville. Near a pharmacy, a juice store, restaurants. If one is interested in joining a trail class I would recommend.

I'm honestly surprised to see so many positive reviews for this branch because my experience has…read morebeen extremely frustrating. It's almost impossible to get into classes at the Danville location. Paying $200 for 8 classes and not being able to book even a few sessions is very disappointing. On top of that, I received multiple last-minute cancellation notifications over weekends--three times--which makes it even harder to plan. Trying to cancel my membership has been even more frustrating. I've been attempting for over a month--sent emails and made several calls. I finally managed to speak to someone once, and she mentioned she couldn't process the cancellation because the manager was on maternity leave. She said she would follow up, but I never heard back. After two weeks, I received a response saying my membership would only be paused, not canceled, due to a one-month notice policy. Also, I was once denied entry for being just 7 minutes late, which felt very rigid considering how often classes get canceled on their end. Overall, this has been a very disappointing and frustrating experience. I would not recommend this location based on my experience.

The instructor Leslie was very kind and helpful, all the people in the class were very friendly too! The wall with the mirrors and lights is beautiful. It's very clean and everyone wipes their equipment after the workout. I really felt like I had a great workout from this class both during and after. I will come back but especially to take a class with Leslie because I liked her! The pricing is a bit expensive but that isn't unusual for Pilates reformers classes. So I will likely come in on a drop in basis. Check them out! :)

I was in need of a gym and having a pool was one of the requirements so that limited the options in…read morethe area for me that wasn't a 20 minute+ drive way so I decided to check out Equinox first and ended up really liking the vibe. The classes feel like studio classes (like barre or spin, etc.) that you'd be paying almost $200/month for without any amenities or regular gym equipment. I've been to other gyms in the past that had a lot of hm, lets just call it people watching and social hour. Folks here are definitely here to workout, do their own thing and friendly. Definitely a no judgement zone. I also had some hesitations based on other reviews about not being able to freeze or cancel membership within the first year especially if you have an injury and what not but decided to go for it anyway despite that, more on that later. Some other other gyms didn't seem to be any better based on those reviews so it probably would've been similar issues elsewhere anyway. When you initial sign up, they give you some comp sessions with a trainer (to obviously sell you personal training) but it's something I wanted to try anyway. I thought, why not, let's give it a go for a few months since I thought it would be good to get an extra boost and back into a routine. Well, a few months had passed and then I had some travel plans so I was away from the gym but then came back from my travels with a severe knee injury where I could barely walk. It sucked but I showed up anyway. Not because I couldn't cancel my membership due to the contract terms but because I needed movement for rehab. I was initially hesitant about returning to training because I felt like I wouldn't be training at 100%. And let's be real, the training sessions aren't cheap. After some discussion with physical therapist for a rehab plan, I decided to return to training with Summer and it was honestly one of the best decisions I've made. Summer programed exercises for me to supplement my PT. She has been really awesome to work with, because my program needed a lot of re-working along the way to adapt to my rehab progress. She's also open to feedback and really great with listening to my input on things that I want to work on. While I am still ways away from being 100% recovered from my knee injury, I already feel like it's night and day compared to just a few months ago. So why only 4 stars? Well, only taking one off is quite generous despite some issues with their app, specifically for training and the so-so amenities in the locker room. The app isn't the best and there were some miscommunications with it that led to a lot of frustration but the training manager Matt was really nice and made it right. The other reason for taking off the star was the amenities which they finally changed to something that smells way better. The previous products didn't smell good and it seemed like the shampoo, body wash, and face cleanser seemed like it was all the same soap in the shower. Didn't feel like there is anything different between the stuff in the bottles. It wouldn't even upset me that there was just one multipurpose wash but the same soap in the different bottles is just confusing for me. Like what's the point? Anyway, good riddance with the old stuff. I haven't tried the new stuff yet aside from the lotion that smells heavenly. I haven't been to the other locations to compare but this one is sufficient for my needs.

She had many repeat students, of which I am one! I look forward to more classes led by Adrienne!
