Now after a few reformer classes with different instructors trying to find one that was a little more challenging as the others were more like a stretch I took a class with Olivia and that was THE BEST CLASS EVER very close to how lagree feels and challenging enough to get some shakes. Will keep booking as long as it is with her!

Club Studio is my favorite gym! I've been going to Club Studio for almost a year and I am very…read moreexcited that it opened nearby. First the gym is always clean and the staff is very friendly. The gym is located inside a plaza so parking is not a problem. This gym offers a wide range of classes and a fully stocked weight room. The gym also has separate saunas for men and women. There is a smoothie and snacks cafe inside. The classes they offer include Hot Pilates, Reformer Pilates, various forms of Yoga, CS4 (boot camp), Boxing, Cycling, and Rebound. I've taken all their classes with several coaches, and I now have my favorite coaches. Ilze, Morgan, Alex, and Lo are top-tier for hot pilates and yoga; Alex and Adriana shine in cycling, Amy's unmatched in Reformer, Morgan and Lauren excel in CS4, and Sebastian brings it for Rebound and boxing. Overall, I am delighted with this gym, and I see myself staying for the long run. It has everything I need, and the instructors are top-tier.

Even though I am a man, I am still an HBCU alumni, so the Baddies Brunch class feels like home for me. It feels intentionally for us, for our allies, and for the baddy girlies to release that energy.

Paisley is one of the FEW trusted, intelligent, smart, fun fitness instructors of color who works within this community. Having access to her classes is few and far between and being a person of color, I purposefully will go out of my way to support. I have ridden with Paisley for nearly 5 years now and Baddie Brunch originated as an outlet to share a space with people when she was going through a rough life experience. The class is fun, uplifting, and meant to provide a safe and up beat space for everyone. Paisley gives several notices via a class announcement, social media posts, etc to let people know what the tone of the class is. Simply, if you don't like it DONT COME. That just opens up more bikes for people who want to be there. Paisley, keep doing what you're doing. We all love and appreciate what you do for us in the fitness community. She's one of a kind and the best of the best Thank you Soul WC for giving us this gem of a human!

"What--I Missed the Grand Opening?"…read more Well I walked into this place, not exactly knowing what it was all about. They've just been open a week or so and they already have 20 classes per week. I had the opportunity to chat with the owner as well as one of the instructors. They're really nice people and can help you set up your workouts. They were kind enough to give me a tour of the whole facility, and explain how the classes work. They have a have a brand new cycling room with brand new cycles. Naturally, they are completely adjustable, and you clip yourself in. The sequence for each cycling classe is the same--that is, you can be confident that your workout will be similar, no matter who the instructor is. Naturally, the instructors get the riding music going to keep you all motivated! To my astonishment, there are no contracts here! It is $125 per month, for as many workouts as you can handle. What a pleasant surprise to not have a contract! Naturally, the classes are open to either men or women. A special note: During the class, you're not competing against anyone else--you're just concentrating on doing your own work out. You clip in and the instructor gets you off on your ride! It is deliberately a dim environment during the ride; that way you can concentrate on your own workout. They have a towel at each station, and light weights, because they are also going to do some upper body exercise. That makes for a nice complete workout. I should also mention that they have a kids area right off the main entryway. The charge is $6 per child. But you can buy a set of 10 which brings it down to $5. Believe it or not, there is no age limit whatsoever on the child. You can bring in anyone. (Well maybe not Grandma.) I had a chance to talk with the owner of StarCycle, and she explained they are running a promotion for one free trial class. I'm signing up today! I really enjoyed visiting this facility and getting to know more about starcycle. Classy, friendly people.

It's been a hot minute since I attended a spin class. I discovered this place recently and wanted…read moreto check it out. I had Danica as the instructor and she was bubbly high energy throughout the whole class. Her music is hip-hop/club which is my cup of tea (though if I wanted to be nitpicky I wish there were newer songs on the playlist). She's definitely a fan of sprints and jump choreography lol. Choreography in this class in general was fairly straightforward; for beginners there is enough repetition to eventually get a handle of it. The class is pretty much 90% in the dark so no need to stress if you're lagging behind any pro spinners around you. There is no fitness statistics shown at the end of class (my preference, but I know there are people who want to be competitive). Music is as loud as the music at a dance club (my preference as well, but could be too much for some people). Maybe it's because I took a 5:45 PM weekday class but every person who attended the class skedaddled out of the studio quickly once class ended; at other spin studios I usually see at least a couple people linger and chat with the instructor for a few minutes. I wanted to thank Danica for the class but she was nowhere to be found once I was about ready to leave lol. Maybe it's just not how things work around here. Overall I enjoyed the class. Definitely recommend if you're curious on taking a spin class. It's $15 for the first class. Parking wasn't hard to find (it is located in the midtown-y part of Danville but there are a few parking spots right at the entrance of the studio and there is a whole public parking lot across the street from it).

Joining TruFusion is helping as I don't believe I would push myself like I am here on my own. This is a great way to start the new year. They offer a large list of classes, pilates, yoga, HIIT, Barre, yoga, some are a combo, heated and non-heated classes. The instructors are great, so far my favorites are Maria and Desirae. Both are clear in their instruction and were able to see my struggle to offer modifications in a very humble welcoming way. TruFusion makes it easier for me not having to think of a training plan. I book my classes on their app up to a week ahead and show up. The value for what I am getting is worth it. I kind of wish I would've done it sooner. They have some intro promos. I def recommend taking advantage.

Aloha, So I've waited 2 months before writing my review…read more 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!

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.

The cycling class was enjoyable but my only downside was the comfort of the seats since I was a newbie I couldn't focus on the workout because my butt was literally numb from the pain of the seat lol, my classmates helped me by showing the seat pads i was still in pain but I tried to push through as much as I could . Long story short you need to sign up you won't regret it

This review is LONG OVERDUE…read more I discovered SWEAT when I came home last year for a friend's wedding. Not wanting to slack on my exercise plans, I signed up for some spin classes here. The Real Ryder bikes were something else! I'd done plenty of spin classes before, but these bikes gave me a workout I hadn't felt before. The downside of no longer living in Stockton is not being a regular here, but when I'm home for the holidays or other occasions, I try to make a point of doing a class or two. I definitely recommend SWEAT! Check them out, sweat, and feel good about supporting local businesses in Stockton :)

I have been going to Cyclebar Castro Valley for about a year and three months now, and the journey…read morehere has been nothing but amazing. I began with the 8 class monthly membership pack, just enough to make it to Olivia's 5:30 AM classes twice a week (commuting all the way from SF to do so lol). As I moved back to the East Bay, I bumped it up to the unlimited membership package, and it was the best decision. First off, each and every instructor at CB truly pour their hearts and efforts in every class. The playlists are perfect for the high intensity moves, the stat board/races create a friendly competitive environment (for those who wish to participate), and their uplifting demeanor/hilarious commentary really sets them apart from other cycling studios I've tried prior to this one. Amrita has really taken her time on selecting and bringing in nothing but the best for this studio. Second, the CB community here is sosososo genuine and I am incredibly appreciative to have a group of people in my life who uplift one another in our fitness journeys. Between the front desk CB staff, to the other members of this studio, everyone really makes you feel welcome. Post-class coffee meetups are shared, milestones are always celebrated, they even took the time to set up a surprise mini baby shower for my sister, Jessica... like where can you find a group of people like that!! And that is just to name a few of the things that I've experienced in a short amount of time here. Third, more of a personal observation, is the positive exponential effect Cyclebar Castro Valley has taken on my overall well-being. I've noticed so many lifestyle changes on my day to day mental and physical health, and I couldn't be more excited to keep this momentum going. I am long overdue for writing a review expressing my gratitude for CB, but I am extremely thankful for having Cyclebar Castro Valley nearby that checkmarks all the boxes I look for in a group fitness studio (high intensity, passionate instructors, strong community, cleanliness, a wide range of class times, staff responsiveness, etc.). If you're reading this, indecisive on whether to try out a class, this is your sign to do so! You will not be disappointed.

My instructor, Sara, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly welcoming and made sure I never felt out of place as a first-timer. Her energy, guidance, and encouragement truly made the experience special. The studio itself was spotless, so clean and thoughtfully maintained. The essential oil scents throughout the space were absolutely fabulous and added such a calming, elevated touch to the entire experience. The cleansing and overall atmosphere were just beautiful. I'm also so proud of Taylor for the incredible studio she has continued to build, it truly shows in every detail!!! 10/10, I will definitely be coming back. Whether you're brand new like me or an experienced yogi, I would highly recommend Shine Yoga Studios to anyone looking for an amazing, welcoming, and uplifting experience.

I get so caught up in being a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, part-time employee, and part-time entrepreneur that I can lose myself in constantly giving to all these roles. But when I come to Shine, it's about me. I do this for me. The kind smiles and heartfelt greetings are always so welcoming. Sarah's optimism and genuinely charming personality stand out. Her Mat Pilates class challenges me both physically and mentally--her voice has this power that pushes me to just try, and somehow, I always surprise myself. Every instructor truly means it when they say to be proud of showing up for yourself. Those words carry weight and remind me that my mind and body deserve care, too--so I always leave Shine feeling more grounded.
