I love how Natali looks at her clients' health holistically and cares not only about your fitness goals, but also about your mental and emotional health. She's so experienced in all aspects of health and I love how her background in bikini competitions makes her the BEST trainer for women looking to firm up those thighs and that booty! I LOVE her customized meal plans-- the recipes are delicious and it's such a luxury having a trainer tell me what to eat to help me reach my goals! I had been going to the gym and dieting for five months before I started training with Natali. I wasn't seeing the results I wanted and was feeling so frustrated and lost. But after just a few weeks of working with Natali, I finally started seeing the results I've been working so hard for! Natali is fun, funny, and super supportive. Regardless of your fitness or diet goals, Natali will meet you exactly where you are and help you on your journey to get where you want to be. I can't recommend Natali enough!!!

When we moved here from another state, I immediately looked for a Pilates studio. The Grant Ave…read morelocation is convenient, but I also went to the downtown location a few times. Both studios have organized and well-trained instructors. The music is a nice touch - very motivating! and there are a lot of classes to choose from each day. I rarely had to be on a wait list and even then, I always got in. The classes always start and end the same (at least the ones I took) which was odd to me at first, but then I started to really like it. It is a nice relief to know you are getting feet in straps after a challenging class!

Update ! Speakeasy…read moreSpin review ; Ok saw the cure on the playlist, huge fan so of course I booked this asap . Alright like any speakeasy , there's some things you should know before coming to your first class ... Parking - OMG This lot is tiny and very limited. There's now QR scan codes to pay for parking , DON'T PAY - use scan codes for FREE parking at front desk. Check in - You will check in around at the newly remodeled front lobby . It's gorgeous ! At the front desk you can scan code for FREE parking . It's not a quick process , so come EARLY. You will have to input a card & plate number , yada yada & of course it's not the go Tucson parking app , it's metropolis ughhh. Entrance - speakeasy spin is located through a side door adjacent to parking , look for a small sign in window . Go in and up the stairs after you check in at the front lobby . Restrooms - UGH You need a code and it's down a hall , then down another hall and it's shared with showers . Of course I walked in on someone nude and changing ! Whoops Equipment - ask what you need before spin starts it's not listed on a board or anything , halfway through I had no idea I needed a band so instructor gave me hers but it was light resistance, didn't feel much . Bikes- Hello Kaiser bikes ! Most spin studios in town use stages bikes but this studio has true Kaiser cycling bikes with universal pedals , cycle shoe clip ins on one side and sneakers will fit into the other side . Kaiser bikes are known for being tough to adjust sometimes but they're a smooth ride . DROP IN - $21 , not bad for a fuss free drop in. Overall- the class I took overall was a bit mellow to be my vibe at 7am , I do prefer a drill sergeant ready to party on a bike in the morning . However this instructor was sweet and helpful . The studio is a lofty speakeasy vibe and I love the lighting . Sound and microphone were on point . Would I come back - ABSOLUTELY

Of course, this won't always be the case for every situation, but after spending lots of time, money, and effort seeking for relief with other modalities, she knew exactly what to do.

For those who love to move and dance with no judgment from the teacher or others, try Nia. It is quite unique. Animas as a facility is the perfect setting for intimate yet high-quality yoga, dance, or pliates. The people who work there are incredibly friendly and the teachers are professional and well-trained in their fields. Classes tend to be small so you get lots of personal attention. This is not an "exercise mill" in any sense of the word. Highly recommended.

They start you slow - classes aren't always at a consistent level- I wish they were but new people come along and the teacher is pretty good about helping them and keeping others going too. Classes are good deal. Reformers, chairs, matt classes-- slower and more basic- which is good if you have never had a Pilates class. You learn the micro moves and good form. WIsh they had more aerobic choices. All in all- worth driving East for!

I walked into PowHERHouse fitness completely hesitant. I had no idea what to expect. I wasn't sure…read moreif my body was capable of the workouts that would be offered, if I would fit in with the women that were in attendance, or if I even had the motivation to stick with it. Two years ago I signed a three month contract. I wanted to just "test the waters". In the last two years my body has proven to be capable and powerful. The women I have walked shoulder to shoulder with, have been the greatest support through physical achievements and mental battles. The motivation is something that came naturally. I look forward to beating personal records, to being a cheerleader for the women who are breaking through barriers, and to having a minute away from the chaos of life. One thing I can say about this program: you get out of it, what you put into it. Kelly, the gym owner, has proven to be a professional in her field, and with time a personal cheerleader. She takes time to understand each clients limits, and always has a way of helping us overcome them. I'm on my third contract now. Hopefully when I have to sign again next year, she has a lifetime option. If you are ready to make a commitment, push yourself to do the hard things, and get out of your comfort zone to connect with a diverse group of strong women.. this is the place for you.

I joined the gym and attended two trial sessions and one paid contracted session…read more After experiencing some unexpected adverse effects due to past injuries and trauma, my doctor advised me that, for medical reasons, I needed a different type of fitness environment. Now, I do need to mention here that the owner would have known about my preexisting conditions if there had been any onboarding. In my experience, getting a new client's baseline fitness level, diet, current goals, and injury history is the minimum expectation when paying a premium price for semi-private coaching. While absolutely no information about me or my history was obtained, she did make sure that I signed her contract--twice. A fact she immediately pointed out upon notification of ending my membership early. I honored my contract and paid the full contractual buyout of $1,000+ despite being only one class into my contract and having to leave at the instruction of my doctor. Although gym members were actively encouraged to speak and communicate directly with the owner before posting anything less than a five-star review about the gym, there was no similar invitation for a conversation with me about my gym experience, health, circumstances, or decision to leave. A communication that could have been mutually beneficial. The cancellation process was cold, impersonal, transactional, and at times even downright curt and accusatory. Ending the working relationship was stressful not supportive. Within moments of paying my $1,000+ balance and receiving confirmation that it had been paid, I requested that my saved checking account and credit card information be removed from the Members app because I was unable to remove them from my end. I never receive a response to that request, and my payment information was not removed. This gym advertises itself as a supportive all female community. I have been in supportive all-female environments my entire life: All girls boarding school, all women's college, employment at a different women's college, multiple female coaches training me for three triathlons, and volunteering in Guatemala and Africa for years supporting and promoting girls' education. I know and understand the supportive female environment. This gym experience was not at all in line with my decades of previous experiences. And the irony is that if she had been kind, understanding or supportive in any way with me, she would have gotten that five star review she covets and actively lobbies her clients for. Instead, she made it all about money. Now not only does she now have a negative review, but if she loses even one prospective client because of my post, she financially will have lost twice as much as she gained with my 50% buyout. She took what could have been a win-win learning situation for everyone and made it a loss for both parties. Short-sighted and a little sneak peek into her true character. An observation worth noting (I may as well get my money's worth at this point! ) of the 3 classes I attended, none were operating at capacity. Out of 6 slots, one class had only 1 other client, who was leaving. One had 2 people, including the person leaving, and the last had 3 clients, including the one leaving and someone doing a make-up session from an early class. I also know other classes and one-on-one slots are operating at less than capacity as well. There could be a myriad of reasons for that, but it is an interesting discrepancy. It's hard to reconcile a gym that has been in business for five years that provides a genuinely supportive women's environment, great results, perfect five star reviews, operating in a wealthy area, but is operating far below capacity. It makes me question retention, or those who try it out and don't join. Or maybe there are more people out there who had a similar experiences as me.
