Never being that athletic nor a regular exerciser, and now in my mid 50's, I am amazed how she is able to motivate and direct me to be successful. I feel stronger and more energetic than I have ever before! At first, I questioned the cost because of past failures on my part. However, because of the beginnings of some health issues, I decided I needed to invest in my health and I am so glad I did. It has been worth every bit of the cost. Weight Watchers worked once for me but I was starving and weak. Then menopause hit and I gained it all back. Trying many times over, I never could achieve much success again. With Elizabeth's coaching, I have not only lost weight, but gained strength and energy and have not starved in the process. Elizabeth is a joy to work with! With each workout, she continues to challenge me while continuing to encourage me to be my best! I highly recommend Elizabeth as a personal trainer. Make the decision to invest in your health and call her today!

I have received two amazing massages from Massage Therapist, Ashley. I suffer from lower back pain…read moreand Ashley relieved my pain completely. On my initial visit I requested the Structural Body Work massage. Ashley discussed my situation at length and devised a whole body massage that addressed my issues. I left with no back pain and remained that way for nearly a month. Today was my second appointment with Ashley and I received the same amazing care. You can tell she cares about what she is doing. She is very careful with any spots that may be tender or need special attention. I highly recommend her. The studio itself is very nice. I have not taken any classes there but it is clean and well cared for. Hopefully I can try the Barre class sometime soon. I am grateful to have found this wonderful place and Ashley. I am a happy camper.

Dear Management Team, I am writing to share feedback…read moreregarding my visit to your studio today, where I intended to sign up for the month-long unlimited yoga promotional offer. Upon entering, I received a cold reception. Rather than a welcoming greeting, I was asked, "Is there something I can help you with?" in a tone that felt unwelcoming. When I explained that I was there to enroll in the promotional special, I was turned away and told to complete the sign-up online rather than being assisted at the front desk. As I observed the studio, the disconnect between its branding and its atmosphere was striking. The space prominently features South and East Asian cultural items and is named after the sacred tradition of "Om," yet there was a total absence of staff or community members of color. Utilizing cultural iconography while fostering an environment that feels exclusionary to diverse individuals creates a deeply unwelcoming dynamic. Yoga is rooted in principles of inclusion, respect, and community. I encourage management to review front-desk hospitality standards and reflect on how OM Studio can build an environment that genuinely respects and reflects the traditions from which it draws. Sincerely, Jenna Lee

Upon arrival I met Sherrie, who informed about where to setup and the props we'd be using for the class. They have all the props you need. Instruction during the class was clear and easy to follow. It was a very clean studio. Overall, the class was perfect for the level I was looking for, which was gentle yoga. It seems the class is made up of regulars, whom were very friendly and welcoming.

I will agree with other reviewers that mention the challenges with facilities upkeep and pool fix timelines. Because that was the reason I chose this location and they do not post online maintenance issues so I couldn't plan ahead. So this made the inconvenience of its location even more of a problem for me. As I was mentioning this to the person at the desk for my cancellation form, which I wasn't allowed to fill out on my own, the woman under her breath was mumbling about the pools not being out of service. It was extremely unprofessional.I just expected a different experience for the high cost they charge and the sales pitch they give during your tour. Things just didn't add up. And since they require 30 day notice I'll get charged for one more month which I'm not mad about just mentioning for anyone considering signing up for this place. Just know that you either have to call ahead or get surprised when you arrive if something is out of service or not working. And maintenance doesn't seem to be a priority here.

Their class selection felt intentional, and for a $37 drop-in, the value was definitely there. I took a 90-minute Bikram class where we move through the full sequence twice. It felt less about perfection and more about understanding the poses and transitions. Coming from my usual studio, the teaching style felt more formal. We were encouraged not to take water breaks out of respect for others' practice, which was challenging in the 108° heat but also pushed me to stay present and disciplined. The instructor was knowledgeable, calm, and easy to follow, guiding transitions clearly throughout. The space was clean and spacious, with dressing rooms, bathrooms, and secure cubbies. I also appreciated that they lock the doors during class. Nice touch that they provided a yoga towel for my mat plus two additional towels after check-in. Overall, a grounding experience that deepened my appreciation for the practice.

It is not easy to find if you are using Google maps. Upon entering the space, I wasn't sure where the front of the studio was. The entryway extends along one side where you place your belongings. I had to be guided to the mats and tools. The large space has uneven floors that might be radiant heated. There is a loose check in process wherein you sign a piece of paper. Although we had registered online, no one ever asked us if we had done so, nor did they confirm our attendance by checking. The first class we attended was taught by a substitute. We set up against the wall for this Therapeutic Hatha practice. The sequence was fine, the teacher was nice and she used the props in creative ways. I modified as I needed to and felt the overall experience was good. The second class was with a male teacher. It was titled as "Hatha Yoga," but it felt much more like an ashtanga style class in regard to the posturing and cues. The teacher got our attention at the beginning by saying something like, "We're three minutes past start time, get settled so we can begin at a reasonable time." There were no introductions or any establishment of connection. He did not greet us as we arrived, check in, nor provide guidance for setting up. He directed us into the first posture, poorly explaining how to use the tools to set it up. As experienced practitioners, at first we felt like the practice had a good vinyasa krama. Then, we all agreed, it's like someone grabbed the wheel and turned it completely off course. The cueing was unclear (he would say "inhale your right leg," and provide no other guidance). The asana sequence did not feel good. The teacher didn't appear to have an awareness of the bodes or needs of those attending the class. Following the closing of the class, the group all said, "Thank you David," at which point we learned his name. While I may return to this studio, I will defintely be doing so with discernment after my experience. I visit Carmel often and have a friend there who is searching for a studio. She has decided this is not the one for her. However, as I said, the teachers and studio have potential to create a truly special place to practice in Carmel (plus you can get donuts and/or cheese afterward).
