The Yoga history and instructions she provided was top notch This was also my first visit to " Shanti Wellness Center " It was a positive five star experience.

Shanti Wellness Center and Fran Candelaria owner, yoga teacher and massage therapist extraordinaire…read morereview I cannot recommend Shanti Wellness Center enough, and even more so, the extraordinary healing touch of Fran. This morning, I started my day with her 9 AM yoga class, which was an incredible way to open both body and mind--especially before the hour-long massage that followed. Fran is nothing short of a wonder--a fantastic, intuitive massage therapist unlike any I have ever met. Her touch is one of love and nurturing, like that of a guardian angel guiding the body toward deep healing. She understood my inner workings better than I did--not only my muscle tissue but also my energetic flow, unlocking and releasing in ways I didn't even realize I needed. At Shanti Wellness, you don't just receive a massage--you experience a holistic healing journey. Fran seamlessly integrates hydrotherapy, cupping, tuning forks, sound bowls, meditation flutes, and singing bowls, creating a truly multidimensional treatment. Her expertise goes beyond the massage table--she has also guided tens of thousands of students into the field of massage, sharing her wisdom and mastery with the world. Beyond Fran's incredible gifts, Shanti Wellness itself is a haven of harmony, love, and balance. The collective of healers here radiates warmth and authenticity, making this the most welcoming environment I've ever stepped into. Shanti is my new home--and I have no doubt you will find a home here as well. If you're looking for true healing, look no further!

This is not a family-friendly facility. My 14 year old tried to come with me as a guest to try it…read moreout (my 16 year old had come once). They said the 14 year old had to buy a package for kids which was $30 for 10 visits (no smaller packages just to try it out). When deciding on it when she was already with me in her workout clothes, we told the worker that she was going to sometimes come with her friend's family, so we would get it. Nothing was said about any rules against this. A month after that, I decided to cancel my membership because of several reasons (class times not convenient for a teacher. Rigid rules about teen memberships, etc). When I canceled, they called to tell me Tessa's membership would also be canceled since she has to come with me. I told them my understanding was that she just had to be with an adult. They would not budge and told me absolutely no refunds for any reason. This is very poor business. Also, their policies are so rigid...a 14-15 year old must work out with a parent. I don't know many teens that want to be glued to their parent's side when working out. Other gyms have much more flexibility. Other businesses would be more flexible with miscommunications. I'm glad we are ending our membership there.

My how Fitness Pointe has fallen in a few short years is a tragedy. The staff that once went out…read moreof their way to smile and welcome you by eagerly offering assistance are today far too busy sitting on their asses texting on their cell phones. They used to take your blood pressure by just noticing you sitting in a chair. Today, they're too lazy to get up off their asses! Don't blame Covid, that's any easy excuse and a cop out. No mouthwash in the locker room any longer! We didn't forget! Fitness Pointe did! Poor leadership that would rather blame someone for complaining about a problem person, in hopes one of them would cancel their membership so Mr Coward manager didn't have to take a stand. Missing leadership! Arrogant! Excellent at being pompous and arrogant! Then there's the therapy pool piranha and the school of disgruntled, mean followers that believe this is their own personal warm water swamp. The pool piranha feverishly splashes about from side to side hogging up three lanes is a message to everyone...I OWN THIS POOL! I COME FIRST! You must kiss the ass of the selfish pool piranha and follow it around, back and forth like a good little obedient fan. No respect for others! You can't enjoy the therapy pool alone because the pool piranha lacks attention and needs your constant validation. Then there's the employee with the strawberry blonde brush haircut that hates everyone including itself. Mean, belligerent and can easily grimace, flip you the finger or tell you to SHUT UP! Excuse me....Is one of it's tired, dated lines. When management lacks the balls to use their authority properly, you end up with sacred cow staff members, laziness and a few angered members calling the shots over the majority. Fitness Pointe isn't the best place to work out or enjoy your leisure. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Not worth the aggravation!

You are getting killer cardio and strength Additional "super classes"...aka class from hell.... pop up Yoga and some really fun events are offered throughout the year. Always something to keep you engaged. The last thing you will be here is board with classes. You can try a class at no charge. The gym has gloves you can use for the class, so no need to worry about buying gloves just to try out a class. There are several morning and evening classes available and classes also offered on the weekend. Ladies don't let the idea of boxing/kickboxing deter you. There are lots of women in here all shapes and sizes and holy smokes do they pack a punch! All off the coaches and front staff are amazing. Friendly and so very helpful!

I've only gone twice, and they are super supportive, allow me to go at my own pace and have a very friendly staff. Amanda is so cheerful for first thing in the morning, love that energy! You will sweat and feel it, but that is the class. It's the best workout and great change from other classes or doing it on your own. In the past two weeks, my weight loss journey has been boosted and really look forward to hitting the bags hard in the future. They help you with the wraps and can loan you gloves. They are encouraging and have a very clean facility. Love it!!

The establishment is clean. I asked for 3 different drinks, but they didn't have the flavors needed for them. I only ordered an Almond Joy shake (extra coconut) on my visit. Unfortunately, this fell flat for me. I have been to dozens of Herbalife Shake locations. One thing they all had in common is the consistency of the shake, smooth and shake-like. This wasn't the case here. It was 'icy', I was able to chew ice in my shake and it lacked any identifying traces of coconut. They do offer 3 different sizes. I see they off sea moss in different flavors, that is a bonus. I think other people will have to make their own decision, as to how they like their shake.
