I have been contacting them for the past month to cancel my membership but I have not gotten as single response and my credit card continues to be charged.

A friend told me that the first class at this place was free, so I thought, hey, why not? It was…read morekind of confusing to find the door (it's sort of my the to-go line for the restaurant outside btw) but I saw someone walking with a yoga mat and figured following her would be a good plan. It was. You go up a flight of stairs and it's the first door that you come to. Go in and there is a little waiting room area, where you sign up for the class. The woman who led our class (I think her name was Jessa) checked us in, and asked if we had any injuries, etc which I appreciated. I didn't bring a yoga mat so I borrowed one (which had a very nice smell... Which is sort of random, i know, but it was nice). Then we went into the studio, and it was so pretty! There were new hardwood floors, lots of windows, and a cool yoga photo on the front wall. It felt very welcoming. Jessa was a great teacher, very patient and helped me make small corrections. I went to the gentle flow one so it was pretty calm, but was told that there was another class after that was much harder. The one I was in had a wide range of people, which was nice. Jessa made it seem kind of familial, like in the beginning she said it was their 6th birthday on Saturday and they were going to have free classes and do a champagne toast after, and even if you didn't want to come to a class you could still come for the toast. Cool place. I'd definitely recommend trying it out for a class, whether you've never done yoga before or are just looking for a new place. It's free the first time, so either you find that you like it and come back, or you don't, but at least you tried something new. Either way, seems like a win to me :)

I have never been to a salt cave before so this was a unique experience for me. I called and…read moretalked to Wendy before coming and asked her some questions to prepare for my experience. This salt spa uses the MindBody app so you can book your session on there. There are quiet sessions, casual sessions (with more light to read magazines and have light chatter), salty lunch (short time on a lunch break), salty kids (a children's session), and yoga on Wednesday nights. The spa is open every day except Tuesdays, so I came in on Sunday to try it out in the afternoon. It is $30 for a 45 minute session. Wendy greeted me and showed me around. In the salt room, there are Himalayan salt rocks on the ground like a beach, beach chairs, blankets, and cool salt decor on the walls. Wendy put on Tibetan music and told me how the fine salt would come out of the sconce in the wall for 45 minutes. I was by myself for this casual session, and mostly rested on a blanket on the salt beach. It was very relaxing. I think it would be fun to come back with Eric R., and he might like the yoga in the salt room too. After my session, I spoke more with Wendy and her husband Scott. She explained the benefits of salt therapy and why they opened the first salt room in the state of Kansas. It is a really cool place to have in our little city. Give it a try and you can be salty too!

This is very evident in how utterly disgusting the locker room has been recently, both in odor and appearance. It's also evident in etiquette, I realize it's difficult to enforce at a public gym, however I find myself being reluctant to go due to how rude the gym goers here are attempting to use multiple popular machines and in the treatment of the facilities. There's no care whatsoever for machines as they're frequently broken and left that way for months and it makes it very difficult to get an entire set in. I do not recommend this location, WITH a student discount it is still nearly $80 a month, and every month this cost becomes less justifiable. Very disappointing

I'm glad that they have it on this side of the town although Manhattan is really not that big of a place. I've only been to this studio twice for a yoga class. On my second visit, I actually got time to check out the gym. First of all, it doesn't seem like parking is a problem. I've been going there in the evening, so I don't know if that makes any difference. They have a small lobby area with nice comfy chairs. The lockers are also around there. The gym staff that I have met are very nice and helpful. Because it's a small place, there aren't too many equipments. I can safely report that there are two of each equipments. They have the usual treadmill, elliptical and bicycle machines, weights etc. There's one studio room for the different workout classes. I think this branch is fairly new because there aren't usually too many people. In fact, the times I've been there, I was the only person to use the place. I like the yoga classes because the instructor is really good at what she's teaching and it's a really quiet and peaceful place to do yoga too despite being right next to a somewhat busy street. My only qualms is the price because they have special discounts only for military personnels or students. Regular members will have to pay about $40 a month. Knowing that I can only go once a week makes me feel like that price is a little too much including the price of gas I will have to spend to drive to this location as well. I still would like to continue going to this gym just because it seems extremely clean and it's still new, so the equipments are also in top condition. I hope that the next time I feel like giving it a second review, I will want to give it one more star. The only reason it's a 3 is simply because I've only been there twice.
