I was in Asheville for just 2 weeks and wanted to take a couple private pilates classes. I checked…read moreYelp, and Fusion wasn't actually my first choice because it didn't have the number of reviews that some other place did. Lucky for me, the other studio didn't call me back until after I booked 3 privates at Fusion. After my first session, I signed up for 2 more, for a total of 5 privates while I was in town. I've had a lot of private training and private pilates classes, and Amy is one of the best. Amy is compassionate, knowledgeable and a true teacher. She was mindful of my issues and gave me so many take-aways for me to use on my own. She also used some amazing heated props that helped loosen muscles and bring awareness to specific areas. My husband teased me that I would move to Asheville to continue working with Amy. Everyone should have this kind of training.

Book a class or a private session - I'm not being dramatic when I say it will change your life. Mat or equipment Pilates, even gyrotonic. Super cool place.

A mark of true professionals really tailoring your session to you. Thanks for everything, Fusion!

The teachers are well seasoned and give clear cues so being new to the styles of yoga they teach isn't daunting. I've done hip hop, hip hop yoga, Buti yoga, and a gentle flow yoga and each of them have been classes I would love to take again. They have a motto that your vibe attracts your tribe and I would say their vibe is fun and welcoming. I felt like a regular attendee after my first class.

Anyway you wanna get down is there! The instructors are all very down to earth and sincere, allowing you to have a genuine connection with each of them in your practice. I personally enjoy getting my jam on to Buti Yoga, Buti Yoga Lite, and Old School Flow. Buti Yoga is this beautiful class that combines animal flowing style of yoga with banging beats that gets your heart rate up and really allows you to let loose. It honestly called out to me and while I'm in this class, the primal energy just zips right through! It's nice to really let everything go in such a positive setting, where no one is trying to outdo anyone else- we just join our powers for a bit like Captain Planet to become these Wonder Beings! There is a Lite class available if you want to get a better grip of it before taking a standard class. If you're a little hesitant, Buti Yoga Lite is perfect to get used to moving your body using the techniques of Buti but at a slower pace and with more queues. It's even more of a "coming together" experience as we all learn this new style of movement. Whichever route you go, I definitely encourage everyone to try a Buti class at least once! Finally, I did not realize how much I'd be digging that Old School Flow! Old school hip hop makes everything better anyway, but this class is a great mid week flow that lingers in each pose for a bit and really opens you up. She usually tosses in just a liiiiittle bit of core work for good measure, and if you specify that you'd like it, makes nice manual adjustments and mini massages in certain poses. Oh so good! Lots of exclamation marks, but that's just how much I love Primal Studios. They're prices are unbeatable and they usually run specials for newbies, so be sure to check them out!

A friend of mine who is an avid gym-goer was in town this past weekend and convinced me to give it a try. It was one of the best workouts I've had in a long while.

It's a little pricey per month but the drop in fee apparently is only $15 so I plan to come back at least once or twice a month for a great work out. Highly recommend!

I found Cisco and Alexis when a friend posted her challenge on Facebook in the beginning of the new year. So far, I am on day 36. I just one month, my belt size has gone down 2 sizes. Granted that I have been doing this with very good portion control and other exercise regime but without a doubt, my gains would not have been as powerful without this very non-invasive ab program. I have taken abs classes that last about a half an hour. You do them and you are sick. You are in pain and it just hurts. Generally, you only are able to do them one day a week - and who wants to do them more? This program is fantastic. It is the right way to ease into taking care of your core. I look forward to seeing Alexis' face on the videos that get emailed to you each day. Guess what? If you respond to the email, SHE RESPONDS TO YOU IN THE DAY!
