I contacted Yoga Roots to ask for a partial refund or some other negotiated solution to this problem, and I included a letter from my doctor. It was also under the recommendation by my physical therapist that I avoid yoga. I needed to contact them a few times to get a response. They finally suggested that I wait until I was recovered and they could extend my pass. However, when I contacted them a while later about this, they--once again--did not respond. One would think that since I had been going to the studio for 7-8 years, that they would be more interested in resolving this issue, but it became obvious they were not. If you are considering them as your yoga studio, you may want to ask them what their policy is for unforeseen accidents and medical issues. You may also want to reflect on the ethics of a business you choose to support. Yoga Roots has some wonderful teachers, but because of my recent experience, I could never recommend them.

Yoga Roots is a charming, welcoming, and peaceful oasis of a yoga studio and I am so pleased that…read moreit is within walking distance of my house! Coming off a long illness and series of abdominal surgeries, I have been anxious about getting back into exercise and yoga seemed to me like a nice, gentle way to get back into shape. So, my experience at Yoga Roots has so far spanned their selection of more gentle class offerings: - Slow Flow: The most vigorous of the classes I tried, this seems like it covers most of the bases of a regular vinyasa class, just slowed down somewhat in pace. - Basics: Slightly less rigorous than the Slow Flow, a good way to get acquainted with the poses and how the classes run. - Yin: My favorite so far; this class focuses on releasing deep tissue and ligaments - which is exactly what I need. I'd go to this class every day if it were offered! - Restorative: The most gentle of all; poses are lying down and utilize gravity to achieve a deep, slow stretch. Because I am so out of shape, I was relieved to find this studio to have a welcoming and non-judgmental vibe across all four of those classes and with all of the instructors I have so far encountered. In every class there is a deliberate emphasis on working at your own pace and doing what feels best for your body. With that attitude, I look forward to using Yoga Roots as a resource as I make my own progress back to wellness.

I will say that you should check out Cleveland Yoga's actual yoga studios because the classes are 100% amazing (Ylonda, Scott, Tami, and Jackie K. are awesome instructors). The yoga studios are in Westlake, Little Italy, Beachwood (main), and Concord Township. Cleveland Yoga has 2 locations in Beachwood. This review is for the Cleveland yoga and barre studio in Beachwood. This studio has strictly barre classes and some yoga classes. Once in a while, they host special classes and events. Yoga Sculpt was one of those special classes. I came on a weekday evening and entered about 5 mins late but I was still allowed inside. Rush hour traffic after work was insane. CLASS EXPERIENCE -- The class was killer and I knew I would enjoy it because I have taken a TON of Yoga Sculpt classes in the past when I lived in Chicago. Yoga Sculpt is a combination of basic yoga postures and strength exercises. Most yoga studios nationwide will incorporate weights (dumbbells) into the yoga sculpt class format. The strength exercises that we did in class were not new (think mountain climbers and jumping jacks) but the increased repetition of each exercise called for a challenging workout. We also used free WEIGHTS and did exercises such as bicep curls. The whole class was definitely a workout especially with all the plank holds and pushups. The instructor was filled with energy and she was awesome but I wish that some parts of the class moved quicker. I don't believe this particular class was in a heated room. As you know, or don't, the majority of Cleveland Yoga classes are taught in a room that is heated between 75-95 degrees heated. I recommend this studio. Try a barre or yoga class and your future TONED body will thank you later. *** - 8 total reviews in 2019. - 218 total Yelp reviews.

Oooooohhmmmmmmm…read more I really like this place. It has a really genuine vibe. Very laid back as most studios.

People there were really friendly too, which made it less intimidating than some yoga places. I walked out feeling lighter, calmer, and already thinking about booking the next class. ‍

Approximately 9 people plus the instructor attended the class and it appears that I was the newbie of a tight knit group, however the class and Erin welcomed me openly. Though I am relatively new to studio classes, having developed most of my yoga skills via dvds, the instruction was spot on and could be adapted to someone just developing yoga skills or to the more advanced and well practiced. I would definitely attend this studio again and if this was my home neighborhood it would be my studio of choice. After class Erin engaged me in conversation sharing a link to my hometown and when I mentioned I was attempting to expand my knowledge of yoga and explore more types of classes she recommended other options for me. I also happened to mention I plan on spending a week in the OC, CA area in September and she encouraged me to attend some of the studios there that she had great experiences with. This has been one of the best yoga experiences I have had to date.

GROOVVERYDE WOODMERE IS NOW RYZE + GRIND…read more I cannot say enough about Ryze & Grind .. every time I'm in Cleveland this becomes my home gym. Todd runs this place like a well oiled machine without creating a cold environment. It's located on the second floor of the building, up the stairs and on the left (across from the water fountain). Just follow the sounds of music and laughter. COMMUNITY Everyone at this place is so damn friendly! My very first visit here an older lady with beautiful white hair (another member) told me exactly what I would need for the class and welcomed me personally. Every time you enter you're greeted (by name if Todd is behind the desk). They even hosted a community happy hour last week, providing food and drink tickets to everyone who went. I met so many new people who attended classes at different times so it was great! VARIETY No matter what you are into they have a class at a time that works for you: Barre, Spin, Bootcamp, Weightlifting, Circuit Training, Yoga, etc. My personal favorite is the REVOLUTION class, which combines spin and bootcamp, it is not for the weak lol. Beth and Todd usually teach this class and it is challenging every time. You typically need 3 sets of weights (light, medium and heavy) and you'll do as instructed in the allotted time before hopping on and off the bike for sprints and climbs . INSTRUCTORS When you enter you'll see some lovely new photos of every instructor. Todd is my favorite with Halley (yoga) a close second (her goose is very soothing). I love that they are all diverse, with unique styles and all have great playlists to push you through class. ENVIRONMENT The space is very well lit and I love the spin room with the LED lighting. With fresh paint and their recent rebranding, the place looks awesome. The large room they use for Circuit Training and Yoga holds assault bikes, row machines and a variety of dumbbells. They even have awesome merch, I'm interested in getting a shirt next time I go. Lockers, towels, hair ties, mints and ear plugs are always provided / available. Energy drinks are available for purchase. If you're looking for a new gym give this place a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Come ready to work cuz you'll definitely be a sweaty mess when you leave. ‍

This review is specifically for the downtown location (which doesn't have it's own listing)…read more I came here with some friends to try out a spin class. This place may be one of the best places to do it because you can get your first class free, how amazing is that? I have never been to a spin class and I was lowkey terrified. My goals were as follows: 1. Don't fall off the bike and 2. Don't stop pedaling until told to stop. Right from the start of just walking into this place everyone there was very friendly and accommodating. They relieved me of my nerves, answered all of my questions, and helped me set up my bike to my height and strap my feet in. I rented shoes for $2 because of the aforementioned, possibly irrational, fear of falling off of the bike. Kaitlin was our instructor and she was great, very energetic and encouraging. She also showed variations to some of the movements for those who were less experienced with spin classes (because let me tell you the getting up and sitting down movements are a lot harder than they look when you do them while pedaling) which I really appreciated. I was happy that the class also incorporated arm exercises and wasn't just leg focused. Did this class kick my butt? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. If you want to try a spin class - definitely come here. If you don't want to try a spin class but looking for something else? They have a number of different classes that all look fantastic - check out their website!

Located in the Van Aken district, it's really an idyllic location. After class, you can grab a healthy bite at the neighboring Nature's Oasis and stroll the area to shop. Bonus: FREE garage parking! As I've stated in my Woodmere GrooveRyde review, SO many fitness studios claim inclusiveness but don't always practice it. GrooveRyde does. When you have a physical limitation, it's a giant leap to try something new and you almost always are disappointed. After trying my first class with Zosimo in Woodmere (and having him be respectful and kind towards limitations) I felt confident to come back and try Shaker Heights. I did a class with Jessica and she was beyond helpful. I arrived early and she was sweet enough to help me set up my bike and answer several questions. She was a great instructor and really loves what she does! Overall, the facility is generally bigger and sparklier because it's so new!

I can only vouch for the 50 minute cycling classes but reckon I may try yoga or other class offerings soon. The cycling room is a smidge tight (you can/will definitely hit whoever is next to you when extending your arms on the bike so be careful) but still comfortable. I love that the lighting is kept dim and the wall fans are strategically placed in all four corners. I also appreciate that you get to choose your bike of choice when signing up for your class online. The bike assignments are also posted on the class door so there shouldn't be any confusion upon arriving. Towels are provided (another amen!) which is incredibly helpful because you WILL SWEAT. There are also lots of lockers and cubbies to store your crap while you're cycling your heart out. Highly recommend you give this great workout studio a try.
