This is a serious studio. And it is BUSY. There is barre, there is yoga, there is pilates and there…read moreis a lot of SWEAT happening! The 3-story studio is located just off the main strip downtown. I signed up for the "30 days for $30" and registered for classes through MindBody, a website that lists all the schedules and the availability of each class. Clean changerooms and lots of space to hang up stuff. There are showers available too. I tried out an intro to silks class and had such fun, flipping around and playing with the silks. I also tried a vinyasa class with Ann Green in the loft. It had such an amazing view of Kempenfelt Lake and I learned a lot. Lame yoga classes often involve being told one pose after another, without much structure. Ann made us think about each movement and how they were related each other. She built it up with more vinyasas after we analyzed the structure and foundational concepts of certain asanas. She wouldn't let us move to the next step until she had checked to make sure our knees were all over our ankles in Warrior 2!! Everyone here greeted me warmly, and Ann Green herself even thanked me for coming. Amaaaaazing vibes. Treat yourself to a visit if you can.

Decided to try out reformer pilates for the first time this year and went to Groove Barre's…read moreintroduction class. It's located on the second floor of the building and once you up the stairs you turn left for the reformer pilates, I believe there's other rooms for other classes on the right. I was greeted by the reception and had to sign a waiver form. You also have to wear pilates socks at this location during your exercises but if you don't have any, they have some for purchase at their studio. Once you walk into the room/ class you're expected to leave all your belongings like purses, wallets and phones at their cubbies since it's a no phone zone when the class is in session. Since I picked an introductory class, the instructor talked us through how to use the reformers and what to expect. During the class, I thought it'd be more useful if the instructor actually showed us how to do certain moves herself so we had a visual, rather than just talking us through the steps. As beginners, it would've been a lot more helpful. Knowing that this was a introductory class, I didn't expect to be sweating and be super sore the next day - which I wasn't. But I definitely felt some muscles being activated that I don't usually target. Overall, it was a great experience and I went back a couple more times after that. Take the introductory class as it really helped with understanding how to use the reformer and how the movements should feel.

The upstairs is where the reformer pilates takes place and is the newer part of the studio. The studio is clean and super welcoming. They have spin, barre classes, mat pilates and reformer pilates. I made my way upstairs where the room was beautifully lit from all the big windows. The workout itself was a 5/5, as it worked me hard! Loved Christina's energy in motivating the class and fixing people's forms if they were off. The music choice was also very good and upbeat. Reformers pilates level 2 is definitely a tough one that will get your body shaking in ways you didn't know it could. I left the class feeling super energized and happy. I can't wait to come back again and again! Would highly recommend this studio for all!

I think that this business is now permanently closed. I'm…read moreglad, because several years ago, I worked for them as a yoga instructor. My classes met with approval, but seeing the inner workings of the business, it felt like anything but a safe and calming space. This all happens behind the peaceful shivasana (relaxation) and neck massages. I rarely write this sort of review, but seeing the tense, inner atmosphere of the organization, versus the calm, accepting facade, is just unacceptabe. The classes and instructors are good, and the training is solid. There is a falsity about this place that turned me off yoga once I saw through the facade. Sorry, but this was my experience. I hope to get back into yoga sometime soon, at a different place, for sure.
