Love it here. The space is pristine. The community is supportive. The owner cares so much about your experience. What more could you want from a wellness space?! Can't wait to continue my journey here! read more

I do not much about dance studios, but a friend of mine taught a Nia class here the other night so I paid the $11 or so dollars on line when I signed up for the class. It seems most classes have a virtual option too. Met the owner when I arrived. She was really nice and showed me around. There are several studios and lockers for your belongings. The studio we were in for the class was really chill. Not what I expected. The lighting was dim with blue and yellow tones. I didn't feel as nervous after entering the room and not feeling fully on display. The Nia class was 30 minutes and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will most likely look at the calendar and pick some other classes here and there. I notice they do Pilates, yoga and things like that too. Lots of options! read more

I signed up for their belly dance classes and opted to go in person. The first class the studio was closed when we arrived, the instructor didn't know what room was assigned to us or anything. The following week I tested positive for covid and could not attend the rest of the series, I called the studio and no one ever answered the phones, I contacted them via e mail and let them know of my situation and asked them to allow my credit for the next series that would begin at the end of November. They said they couldn't do that and instead sent me a link for a zoom class, I specifically told then that I was sick and couldn't take the classes and asked to get my money back, no one responded back, did not get a credit. I tried calling and again nobody answers. Their insensitivity to their current situation is horrible. I would not recommend this business at all. Dont waste your money here. read more

Excellent instructors! Best place in town for a variety of Yoga, Pilates and Strength Training classes. Rate plans are affordable and market competitive. read more

I purchased $80 worth of classes and was told by the previous owner that the passes would be good until I activated them. I called the new owner and they will not honor them unless I pay $6.00 per class to reactivate them. read more

This review is long overdue! I threw a pole dancing party and invited all my girls for a night of fun. The instruction called me the night before and make sure we were on the same page with music choices And she was so nice and answered all my questions. I was able to bring my own bottle champagne so all the girls can do a toast together. They did allow one drink per person but that's it. And I understand that because you will be doing pole work and we don't want anyone getting hurt. Overall, the ambience the lighting and music was perfect for my group! The instruction ( I can't remember her name... Christine!) was super encouraging. She even helped us record some moves on our phones while we dance. We all had a little solo moment where you can perform your best. But it's a warm supportive environment so there is no pressure and it's about feeling empower and sexy!! I had a lot of fun and would love To come back to try other classes. They also give you credit ($25) to try another class once you participate in the pole party! I'll Be back to use it soon:-) read more

I love this place! Such a variety of classes, and I love all the teachers. It's probably my favorite place to be... people are nice, there's no judgment, and I can workout to my level. My favorite classes at Nia, Release and Flow Yoga, Pound and Hula Hoop class. So basically most of the classes I've taken. Ha! I can't say enough great things. read more

Great studio space! There are plenty of classes to choose from such as belly dancing, pole, salsa and yoga and everyone here is so nice. Bathrooms are clean, plenty of parking and studios are nice, clean and spacious. I recommend checking the website for classes. You can either drop in or become a member. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family! read more

Ever since I was a kid, my favorite form of exercise is some kind of dance. I have always had a gym membership somewhere and I will do traditional workouts, but when I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do that, I look for a place to dance. The challenge with that is as I get older, I have found most dance studios are geared toward youth. I don't want to be dancing with teenagers doing the recitals! My latest search led me to Movestudio. I found them on a Google search and saw the impressive Yelp reviews. The variety in types of classes & the amount of classes available each week is awesome. The website is very comprehensive. They have clear payment options, clear studio guidelines, and the studio itself clean & neat. The teachers all have impressively experienced profiles - no bumbling newbies. Their options are so vast - I have fun trying classes even beyond traditional dance (Zumba, Nia) like Tai Chi, chair dancing, Deep stretch yoga, hooping, and more. I'm excited for some of the featured "special" classes like Bollywood and Pound. It's a 20 minute drive from my house and the drive is WORTH IT! read more

Move Studio is a perfect location for a variety of yoga practitioners and/or anyone who just wants to incorporate MOVEment into their life. The studio is nicely arranged and the staff have always been super friendly and welcoming. My experiences are primarily with the varied yoga classes - and there a plethora of them - but I have tried the Barre class (excellent teacher, by the way). Aside from yoga and Barre, there are a wide variety of class options for those who want to sample activity outside of yoga or Barre. There's a sound sense of community at Move Studio; I like that. A note for beginners: Louise's series for beginners is a super way to ease into yoga, especially if you've never tried a lick of practice and "down dog" makes you think of a hyperactive Fido. read more

I liked this studio, but have moved on. I fully believe your experience will be based on the classes you take and the instructors that teach it. I did a newbie's week for 15 and tried out a few pilates classes. Each one had a different instructor, and each class title was a tad different. The special is a good way to mix it up and see what you like. They have an email list that sends you weekly updates, and they offer you little price incentives and some free classes after they notice you aren't coming in any more. The website is really useful and gives you all the rates and class schedules and descriptions. I would recommend it if you are in a bit of a work out rut, and need something to shake it up. read more

Got my move on and my muscles are punishing me every time I sit down, especially on the toilet. My thighs are like....what the hell?? I got an unlimited week trial for $25. I first tried the yoga class....meh, not for me...not that it was bad, just too low key after a day of sitting in an office - I need something high energy. So the next night I took the Zumba toning class....KICKED. MY. AZZZ. I'm planning on going back - they have a HUGE variety of classes and ways to move yo body! read more

Ramiro's salsa classes on Sunday evenings are THE BEST in Dallas. The value is incredible (only $10 per 1 1/2 hour class, unless prices have gone up in the past month). If you've never danced salsa before but want to learn from a trained professional in the biz, go to the beginner class at 6pm. If you've already got the basics down pat and you're looking to enhance your technique and learn more turns/footwork/shines/etc. then go to the intermediate/advanced at 7pm. Ramiro's classes are fun and entertaining, I felt as though I was learning salsa and attending a comedy show at the same time. You don't need a partner, just yourself and maybe a shot of alcohol beforehand if you're the type that needs it (jk). After the 7pm lesson, the group normally goes to Al Amir for salsa night at 9pm. read more

This is a very good studio. If you are looking to get out of your gym rut & you dont mind spending a little bit more than usual to get excellent yoga, pilates or dance instruction, you may want to check it out. Its a very friendly & warm, totally zen environment. They have all the state of the art pilates equipment you probably dont want to end up having in your house anyway cos the neighbors might think you are a little too into the whole torture thang. gack! I am taking the beginner belly dancing class here & the instructor, Tamra, is a total success. http://www.tamrahennatx.com/ She has a positive attitude as do most of the participants taking this class. Also, if your class is competent & rhythmic enough they let you use finger cymbals & thats awesome for the frustrated percussionist in all of us! Even if you dont want to sign up for an entire class session, drop-ins are reasonably priced and always welcome. An Aikido instructor is also availabe onsite for individual or group classes. They have a boutique as well where you can check out all their exotic & enticing merchandise as well as the very cute work out outfits. read more

Looking for something to do indoors in this exhausting Texas heat? This place is a perfect spot to get in some fun exercise! If you're like me who needs motivation and direction, Move Studio is the right place. The staff is super friendly, as well as the people who come here. I was looking for a Mommy & Me yoga class to attend with my 7 month old daughter. I was a bit apprehensive at first, not knowing what to expect. However, Mimi is the best instructor and made it so relaxing and enjoyable. My daughter and I look forward to our yoga class every week! It is a great way to start our day and so exciting to see the other babies grow each week. read more

I love Move Studio! Altho I live too far away to take any regular classes, I've been for special events. Recently, I went to a ladie's night and had a lot of fun belly dancing, "exotic dancing" (um...stripper dancing, okay?), and got a free massage and tarot reading. Check out their boutique for all the latest in local handmade designs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Love this place. Started with the $25 unlimited classes intro week. I took Nia with Jule which was weird and AWESOME. It was relaxing but definitely a workout. I took Raise the Barre ballet workout with Victoria. She makes it look so easy! The class is great at targeting muscles we don't use everyday. Plus whether you've had any dance training, or not ballet is a must. I was sore for 5 days after her class! The second time around was much better (for me personally) but still a great workout. Zumba with Jasmine was the most fun I've had in a class in a long time. Intense but fun cardio. I haven't sweat that much in a long time and it felt great. This weekend I'm trying zumba with Frankie and their hip hop class. This place is totally worth the $ you pay. It's a very friendly environment with all shapes, sizes, ages, genders, etc. Definitely not intimidating (which is hard to find in dance studios). Highly recommended! Can't wait to see the fall schedule and try some latin ballroom! read more

Mimi's Yoga for Childbirth class was an absolute delight. We learned a lot of concrete strategies for dealing with labor, medicated or not. My husband absolutely loved the class and felt that the atmosphere allowed him to connect to other dads; the lesson was not all mom-centric. Mimi's weekly prenatal yoga class is the best part of my week even when I have to drag myself there. This week I went in absolutely livid about something probably induced by pregnancy hormones, and left with a renewed sense of calm. She keeps the class engaging enough to keep me interested and mindful, but not so brutal that I leave the class wanting to hurl (It's a fine line with exercise these days. If you need to feel super challenged, I suggest hitting up prenatal pilates. That worked out poorly for me.) The yoga practiced in this course is not general yoga; it's specifically geared toward childbirth. Much of what Mimi talks about comes from her experience as a doula, and much of it is backed by recent research on childbearing, even if it sounds unconventional. She's not a fan of epidurals, but respects those who do want them and gives tips for making the process easier. I've seen moms come in here happily even past their due dates, and I'm hoping to keep coming here through Mommy and Me yoga. ALSO: They don't mention this up front, but you can pay to try a single class, and then go back and pay for the whole series at a lower per class rate. I ended up buying the whole pilates series up front and ended up having to quit early. Luckily I spent my remaining balance on continuing with yoga. I know with the non-prenatal programs they have certain days (mostly Saturdays; check the website or call in) where you can try before you buy. read more

I love MoveStudio! If I didn't live in Denton, I would totally join this studio. I have taken Pilates, Nia, Deep Stretch Yoga, and Hula Hoop classes at Move, as well as used their wonderful Infrared Sauna and come to regular meditation sessions (with a third party that rents their space, the outstanding Art of Living Foundation), and I cannot rave enough. The staff and faculty are outstanding, personable, and professional. The locker room and all of the other facilities are well maintained, and their equipment is in clean, fine working order. I LOVE MoveStudio and highly recommend it, esp. classes by Candace! read more

My wife goes there twice a week for prenatal Pilates with Teresa, she loves that place! Nice place good instractur read more

the 'mecca' for Nia classes in North Texas! Walk in and sense the serene artfulness....a place that says, "I am here for YOU....to dance, to move, to play, to heal, to love, to enJoy, to find community, to explore, to BE". TREAT yourself to Nia at MoveStudio NOW! read more

I have been searching for forever for a great yoga studio! My soon to be god mother introduced to this place! I went today and the price per class is steep ($17) but for your first week you pay $25 for the week and have unlimited classes. I am not sure on prices but I will definitely be back for more. read more

Excellent teachers. Friendly staff . Clean, inviting environment . A North Dallas gem ! read more

Dallas is truly lucky to have a place like MoveStudio. From yoga to ecstatic dance to Nia to ballroom to pole dancing - MoveStudio has it ALL. Its four rooms allow for a wide variety of movement practices and classes of all sizes. They have regular weekly classes as well as a rotating schedule of workshops, events, and trunk shows for local artists. I've never taken a class at MoveStudio that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Do yourself a favor and give one of their many classes a whirl! read more

I love this studio. They offer several classes from chair dancing (which is a WORKOUT!) to Pilates to Meditation and Yoga. It's a nice way to start my week. The environment is peaceful and the staff is friendly and I have always felt really welcome here. read more

My favorite yoga studio in all of Dallas. The classes are amazing and you can tell the instructors are very experienced. I originally found this studio while looking for a prenatal yoga class in Dallas. The instructor is very experienced and really cares about her students and whole body wellness. I've learned so much from these classes and they have really helped with my pregnancy more than anything else I've tried. I can't wait to try the other pilates and postnatal classes. One of the best things is they offer single, drop in classes for a good price in case you are busy and can't commit to a full series. The series are 6 weeks and are very reasonably priced. Their classes are flexible - they offer weekend and evening classes and allow for you to make up at other locations if you miss one in the series. I took a prenatal workshop here and brought my partner and we both loved it. They send emails and are easy to get in touch with for questions about classes or availability which is also really nice. The rooms are beautiful, clean, cool, and spacious. The studio is nicely decorated which makes you feel comfortable and relaxed as soon as you walk in. I love the super cute locker room which adds a level of convenience to your visit and they also have a lot of bathrooms too. They also have a water machine in the back, and even provide a lot of equipment like yoga mats and blocks and balls which adds another level of convenience to your visit. They have a cute boutique in the back with clothes and jewelry, and even had some local artists stop by one day. read more

Great place! I recommend it. I've taken different classes there over the years. The teachers are well trained and excellent. Give it a try. read more

Subject: Best Yoga Instructor in the DFW Area! Review for Tida Chambers' Gentle Flow Yoga on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at Move Studio: Tida's yoga flow class is the absolute best yoga class I have ever taken. I have practiced yoga in many places in the DFW area. Tida's teaching techniques are insightful, wise and inspiring. Tida exquisitely choreographs the yoga flow movements making it seamless from one asana to the next. I have never experienced a yoga flow class that has been developed with such great purpose and meaning. My back has become stronger and my entire body more flexible. Tida also instills subtle spiritual teachings in the class and provides a serene, yet confident atmosphere catering to the advanced and beginner students' needs. If you want to try Yoga for the first time or you are advanced this is the class for you!!!! read more

Valerie's chair yoga (choga flow) class is best I've found in 30 years. I attend regularly and learn something all the time. Great for me at 60 something but all ages participate. read more

Review based on the prenatal yoga series... I am taking prenatal yoga classes and am 31 weeks. This series is great for those that need a gentle and conservative class. For me it was way too "crunchy granola". I feel as though it is a great class for ladies who like a slow, maternal, feelings type of class. This was just not for me! I can only rate this class based on the fact that it is a great class for ladies who are comfortable at this level. Mimi is a great and caring instructor who is passionate about what she does and will benefit prenatals greatly with her way of teaching. I ended up swapping to We Yogis because it was more my level of yoga, studio, location, instructor, and crowd. I take this with Karen and have even added in her "We Slow Flow" class which is a regular yoga class that is for beginners or those who want to get back to basics and emphasize correct form/posture. Prenatals are welcome in this class and it was a good level of intensity to add into my fitness regimen since I am an experienced yogi but needed a slower pace at this point in my pregnancy. Again - great studio but wasn't for me! I can't downgrade them for that :) read more

My partner and I have been trying to shift into a healthier lifestyle and found MoveStudio while looking for local yoga classes. We got started shortly before the pandemic and were able to enjoy a few weeks of classes before everything shut down. I tend to be a bit socially anxious and self-conscious about the extra weight I'm carrying. However, everyone at MoveStudio has been warm and welcoming and quickly put me at ease. While hubby has has enjoyed the yoga classes (and I enjoyed those too), I really fell in love with the Nia classes. Until they closed the studio, I was quickly shifting my schedule to make sure I could attend Nia at least twice a week. They've been offering online classes, but I can't wait until I'm able to start attending in-person again. read more

I want to preface this review by saying, I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS however Move Studio in Richardson deserves a million+ stars. In the past 7 days I have attended 5 classes -- Zumba (twice), Yoga to the Core, On the Ball, and Ballet Barre. All of which were excellent, intense workouts with even more phenonmenal instructors! It's such a vast difference when comparing generic gym class instructors with the ones at Move Studio. Literally each instructor came up to my friend and I (as we were new to every class) and introduced themselves and remembered our names as well. They come around and gently help with proper form or get close to give you a better view of the instructions which is so helpful for a beginner like myself. Alright now to brag on the classes that I actually got to try out... *First Zumba experience with Frankie was awesome! That chick can move! She is super high energy and got my heart pumping while I barely noticed because we were having so much fun shakin it! *Yoga to the Core with Meg was very serene. There is something really tranquil about her as a person and that really comes through in this intense yoga class. We focused on alignment and proper technique while engaging the core the entire time. Hello Abs! *On the Ball with George was downright FUN! That dude has a great personality and rapport with all his regulars. This was a challenging workout (not necessarily super sweat inducing but one of those deep burn kinda classes). I actually learned some things about my own posture and flexibility that I will bring to other classes in the future. Can't wait to check out his Pilates Mat class next! *And finally, Ballet Barre with Kris... Oh. My. Gosh! First of all, I just left this class a few hours ago and the soreness (in the best possible way) is already setting in! Ladies I swear if you do this class with Kris just a couple times a week I can't see how you you wouldn't get amazing results! I mean it is definitely challenging and my heart was racing at some points but at the same time it's a good burn that you can just feel tightening in all the right areas! Their introductory special $25 for 7 days of unlimited classes & sauna truly is a great way to get started and try out several of their unique classes. Thank you again to Frankie, Meg, George and Kris for making my experience at Move Studio both painful and pleasurable at the same time :) See ya'll soon! read more

This is a great place for any level of fitness and any type of activities you prefer to do. It has yoga, pilates, dance, belly dancing, etc. I personally love Jasmine De la Cruz zumba class, it doesn't even feel like a workout, it feels like a party in the middle of the day, she is super fun, active and her dance moves and energy are amazing read more

All 5 stars go to MiMi and her PRENATAL YOGA SERIES. I tend to stress easily and my whole pregnancy was filled with worries about everything. I started to take her class during my 3rd trimester and I wished I have done it earlier. I immediately noticed a drastic difference, I became more relaxed and peaceful. It helped me to slow down mentally and as a result, think more clearly and my productivity increased. Mimi has an incredible light positive energy, very thoughtful personality and great sense of humor. You can see how passionate she is about women and her work. read more

The fitness instructor for the class I attended made an inappropriate comment to me during the class. He announced to me, for the group to hear, that we will "lose that baby fat and I just need to change my eating habits because I have a lot of energy!" My two children are 6 and 3, which he knew.....really beside the point though. I'm sure he was trying to "motivate" me, but he's clearly not educated about how women are best encouraged. It's a good thing I have a good self image and am at a point and age in my life that I have the self confidence not to let that bother me as much as it would a young girl. I would STRONGLY discourage young females from attending any of his classes. I'm all for encouraging participants to push hard and strive for their best, but humiliation tactics are not what will keep women motivated or participating in his programs at Move Studio. I was excited that there was a drop in class option, as I am a recent member of Texas Fit Chicks, and was interested in the drop in class schedule for the days I can't make the TFC class. I can't speak for all of their instructors or different classes, but I can speak about my experience with George at the Tone and Sculpt class on Monday evenings. I assume people who attend classes at Move Studio are striving to improve themselves, and how embarrassing for their facility/company that their Instructor is not able to support that goal in a meaningful, positive way. Please do not automatically assume I'm an obese, angry female. I'm a very happy 38 year old woman, wife, working mother of 2 amazing boys, whom I am striving to raise with positive self body images and teach them that exercise is important. I am 5 ft 1 & 1/2 in (which is important when you're short!) and weigh 139. Not ideal, would like to be about 15 lbs less, but most importantly I'm strong and energetic for my kids, but would like to look a little better while doing it! I have been there before, and know I will get there again, but will continue to chose a more supportive environment to do it!! read more

Cardio Salsa with Sherif - It's a fun class where you learn different moves that result in a long combination at the end. He speeds up the music as you go so you can work harder and really get your heart pumping. My only complaint is that the combinations are very basic and he doesn't vary them up much class to class. So it might be boring for an experienced dancer. But if you're goal is to just mix up your cardio routine, this is perfect! NIA - with Jule and Shannon (Nia stands for Now I Am). It's a dance/ cardio/ karate/ kick-boxing / crazy, wonderful medly. Don't be shy when you come to this class. It's all about enjoying the way your body moves. There are some free movement parts where you are encouraged to be creative and move around the space. I came in skeptical, but left feeling sweaty and energized and very positive. Both teachers have a different style/ music taste. I enjoyed both. On the Ball withe George. An awesome pilates workout. I was so sore the next day. It's a really great way to change up your regular cardio and weight workout routine. After just two classes my core felt stronger and my posture improved. I can't wait to go back to take it again! I would recommend this place to everyone! I think they have membership packages or you can pay per class. They also have some good deals for the month of January for people that want to try it out!! read more

I have recently taken several of Michie's Zumba classes and really enjoy her teaching style. As a new student to Zumba, you just kind of have to try to make your body do the right moves and hope for the best! As Michie says, as long as you keep moving, you'll be fine. She takes song requests and makes class fun. She has all kinds of energy and makes me want to keep going (even when I don't really want to)! I don't think I've ever sweat so much in my entire life. The studio is clean, with restrooms, changing area, lockers and a water cooler to refill your water bottles. They have all kinds of other classes here as well. read more

My favorite part about MoveStudio is their Zumba classes!! They have wonderful Zumba instructors who are energetic, motivating, and excited to teach! I've taken some Zumba classes where the instructor doesn't really seem into it and this never happens at Move. One of my fav instructors is Michie - you definitely want to take class from her. She teachers regular Zumba on Tuesdays from 7:20 - 8:20 and Zumba Toning on Thursdays from 7:20 - 8:20 (awesome workout!!) Once a month she also does a drop-in, special class called Zumba Sentao - Zumba with chair that is a totally different, and wonderful workout!! I love the music played during these classes...always a balanced mix between latin and top 40 music that keeps you moving! My only complaint would be I wish they offered Zumba more times throughout the week : ) I definitely recommend going to check it out ASAP!!! read more

Hands down, my favorite yoga/pilates studio in DFW. Have attended for close to 10 years (on & off) - and I love the teachers, the students, everything! Most recently I've been attending Mimi's prenatal yoga classes which I would highly recommend. You get SO much more out of the class than just "a workout." She really helps get you informed for labor & birth. read more

Great place for classes and even better for an infrared sauna! I would highly recommend coming here! SUPER friendly environment with genuine people. read more
