Four classes in and I'm already rearranging my schedule around this place. I'm hooked…read more The Bar Method knows what its doing!! The class options and times make it easy to show up, the studio is spotless, and everything runs smoothly without feeling rigid or cold. What really makes this studio stand out is the instruction. The teachers are paying attention. They correct your form, they want you doing the workout correctly, and it shows. This isn't a "do your own thing in the corner" kind of class. You feel guided, supported, and challenged in the right way. I especially loved my class with Emily. She was able to gauge exactly what I was doing incorrectly and came over to help me in a way that felt thoughtful and encouraging. I genuinely appreciated that level of awareness. They also make an effort to remember your name, which tells you everything about the culture and how much they value customer satisfaction. I leave class feeling stronger and mentally clearer every single time, which iswhy I keep coming back. If you're even on the fence about barre, take one class here. You may get hooked too.

Very cute little studio in Pasadena! They have lockers and restrooms. Most people wear toe socks,…read morebut you can wear regular socks too. The classroom size is pretty big - about 20-30 people and they have a livestream too for people joining remotely. Restrooms are fully stocked with deodorant, perfumes, etc. The class itself is a mix of abs, stretching, and easy workouts (imagine pulsing a 2 lb weight 50 times). Parking was easy as there's paid parking structures nearby all around. For class, if you find the Pasadena city owned parking structures, it's just $1 to park for the hour and change.

I didn't prepare for the parking but was lucky to find street parking a block away that was free 1 hour parking. I got there just at the start of class and Lena was my instructor and was great. She walked through poses clearly, checked folks for correction and helped vocalize our breathing patterns which I found really helpful. It was my first time using some of the equipment so that was fun and it definitely helps with the getting the shakes. I did feel sore after the class, and would come back!

The classes are really challenging, but they are very good to beginners or people who aren't as great at Pilates like me.

I've been a long time member of Corepower so I've had my fair share of hot yoga, and it makes me appreciate the way that hot 8 operates - they have multiple types of classes - I tried Strength, Yin, Sculpt, and they're all fantastic. The membership feels so worth it because of the variety of classes and the multiple rooms/times available. I will definitely be returning. Shout out to the front desk staff - they helped me solve issues with my booking process (my fault) and were so kind/patient when exposing the different classes to me. Oh and shoutout to Allison Chiang - the Strength instructor. She brought the energy and spent time on form correction. So key! Finally - there's free parking with validation in the building! Makes it so easy to commit to the practice.

This is a clean and inviting environment for hot yoga. The showers and amenities are a great…read moreconvenience. The teachers are knowledgeable and instruct consistently excellent classes. My favorite class at the moment is Yin, which is a restorative deep fascia release class. (I've had some injuries unrelated to yoga, so I need something more restorative.) Prior to my injury I was taking the Barre classes for 5 to 7 days a week and it changed my life for the best. I am very much looking forward to taking the new Strength classes once I'm feeling up for it. I recommend Mia and Damara for Barre. I recommend Jaz, Shanai (who is also an excellent barre teacher too), and Rachel for Yin. Jaz teaches extra special Yin class with tennis balls that help students stretch into their fascia even more deeply, and is better than any massage I've ever had! With my injury, I'm not sure that I would have continued with my annual executive membership if Jaz were not teaching Yin. Her classes have been a godsend. Even when I'm healed I will continue taking her classes! All the teachers are quite good; I just have my favorites based on personality and instruction style. You are sure to find someone who will exceed your needs! The three reasons that I decided not to give the studio five stars are: 1. they've been running out of the towels that I get with my particular membership. 2. there are some rude students who interrupt important times of instruction, especially the Shavasana, which is critical to closing out a successful yoga practice. 3. The showers can sometimes be a little slimy, which is pretty gross. This was not the case when I first started taking classes almost 2 years ago.

So believe me when I say body dada is worth switching over to even if just for a little while to try it. It's more modest but has heart, artistry and a unique happy place feel that I've never seen - think pink, pink lights! All the instructors are or were former dancers ranging from ballet to modern to pop - artists in their own right. Their barre classes are an amazing workout with the added benefit of feeling choreographed. I was with Zsolt for about a year and a half and literally went from a size 12 to a size 4 (I have the pics to prove it). So much fat killed! Not afraid to show abs anymore. He's funny, has great music and clearly you get an intense workout, but the crazy thing is it goes by in a heart beat, like some magic trick. Try it, you'll see. I took a couple classes from Camila, Malin and Milka - also amazing! Surprisingly, barre is a good supplement to running if you're into that. I am. And Kim! The owner is so sweet and caring - really responsive and wonderful. Not having a phone number to call into was never a problem for me. Really a lovely place and will miss the classes and people a lot. Take care Zsolt, Kim and body dada.

The studio recently won the Sportsmanship award at a recent competition and that really showcases the values of the studio. Not only that, they focus on my daughter's growth. When all the pressure of being a teenager hits, I can meet with the studio owner and get help working through it...whether it be taking a break from dance classes for a week, or great mom advice. It's also a great dance school.

My daughter has trained in a wide range of styles--jazz, lyrical, tap, and ballet--and the quality of instruction across the board has been outstanding. The teachers and staff are not only highly knowledgeable, but also genuinely warm and supportive. They create an environment where dancers feel encouraged, challenged, and valued. Being part of the competitive dance team has been especially meaningful. It's helped my daughter grow tremendously--not just as a dancer, but as a person. She's gained confidence, discipline, and lasting friendships. One of her absolute favorite experiences each year is performing in The Nutcracker. It's such a special opportunity, and SMDC makes it feel magical while still maintaining a nurturing, positive atmosphere. We're so grateful to be part of such a loving and dedicated dance community. I highly recommend SMDC to anyone looking for a studio that combines excellent training with heart.

Her passion to educate her clients ensures that they master the basic Pilates form and the foundational principals of Pilates. She even has diagrams of the human muscular system and a video showing the fascia of the human body to visually aid in the education of her clients. After every session she gives me homework to make sure I practice everything I was instructed and I'm happy to see that I've progressed in my knowledge. Kathy is glamorous and is young, agile, and energetic. You couldn't ever tell that she got run over by a truck just less than 10 years ago. The fact that Kathy recovered from being run over by a truck and being confined in a wheel chair for years is proof that she practices what she preaches and that pilates works. I believe if you want a Pilates instructor who cares about building the correct foundation for a lifetime of Pilates practice and correct day to day movement so you don't get into a wheel chair or have to push yourself around with a walker when you get older, she is the one to go to.

Not only are the classes consistently challenging, but the entire community is super welcoming, no matter where you are on your fitness journey. Maeve at the front desk is awesome--she's always ready to help however she can. All of the instructors bring great energy and inspiration. Alison's class is just a whole vibe--her silly sense of humor gets you through the tough parts, and her music is top-notch. Jess has such a genuine, positive glow that's totally infectious--she's always dropping some welcome bit of wisdom just when I need it most, not to mention that she makes the hard work feel joyous. Dollar layers on the HIIT action good and thick, communicating clearly about what's ahead so you know how to pace yourself, and his encouragement has me sprinting like I've never sprinted before.

No matter how many spin classes are under your belt, they're never easy. But at Rev, it's always a good time. Cheers to Nairi, the badass owner, for creating such a supportive, nonjudgmental, fun environment that keeps me coming back for more.
