There is so much equipment to use! I loved how there was equipment available to use! (Compared to the gym I go to back in Orlando where I have to wait a while to use some equipment because of the younger crowd hogging it) The treadmills are so cool! Love the wireless charging and ability to pick what I would like to watch on the screen. The equipment and weights are all newer and well kept. It's nice and bright inside. They have so much to offer! I am really jealous this isn't my gym back in Orlando. They have cycling classes, HIIT classes, and many others. There is also a pool and hot tub. The sauna was so relaxing. They have a wet sauna and a dry sauna. There is this neat machine that will spin your swim suit to get the water out of it. The locker room is massive and has space to get ready for work. What's also impressive is there is a separate workout room just for women!!! So a woman can workout and not feel uncomfortable for whatever reason. They do have a kids room! So you can bring a kid and still get your workout on! There is a Hair Venue and a place to get a nice drink or coffee. Overall this place rocks! Hours were 5am to 9pm during the week and the weekends the hours are 7am to 4pm. When I come back to Cedar Rapids to visit, I will certainly make this my place to workout even if it is just for a day or two.

I was traveling and wanted a week gym membership. This place offered a 45$ week pass or a $20 a day…read moreor $90 a month. There were some places offering $10 a day pass but didn't have a sauna or steam room. This place had both plus an ice room. Which was more like a really high air conditioning room. Nothing like serious cold. They also had a pool which seemed like only a bunch of old people use. The training area with turf was really nice but if that stop light is red (I posted a picture) that means the trainer is there with a client and you're not allowed. If it's orange you are allowed but to be careful and green it's a free for all. Not many people use it but it has bunch of cool equipment to use there too. The gym had everything and I was only able to find one thing broken which is rare at a gym this big. They also have one of those dryers for your bathing suits in the mens locker room if you do bring a bathing suit for sauna or pool. It's a bring your own towel like most gyms but for such a high gym membership I thought they may include that but nothing I could really complain about this gym except pricing.

I am all for trying new workouts and when I saw barre3 not far from my house I knew I had to try…read moreit! I partook in one of the free classes they often offer and man I was hooked. I can say that this IC location is top notch. Maureen and her staff are freaking delightful and the workout itself is addictively not like anything else around town. PLUS, parking is a non-issue. But I don't actually have set in stone time to make it to a gym. (The minute I plan on a 5AM workout is the night my son is in my bed because of a bad dream. So when I attempt to stealthily get out, I of course wake him. And I can't just leave the four year old awake at home?! And how rude would I be to wake up anyone else catching z's?!) Ugh. It's a never ending, maddening problem. ANYWAYS, barre3 has an amazing online membership for a great price! The first two weeks are free. But what I like most is that the classes range from 10 to 60 minutes. They include what equipment you need in the description. I found favorite instructors and have taken all of their classes (multiple time)! Barre3 makes me feel good about myself. And the staff at this location does, too. If you haven't found a workout that is for you yet, try stopping in here!

I've worked with several of the instructors now (being a month in) and each one has put their own spin on the routine and able to assist and make suggestions respectfully in real time to help improve my strength and flexibility, I am already noticing results. And although this wasn't my main goal, my last doctors visit said I'm down 5 lbs, so BONUS! I just feel so much better in my own skin and remember how strong and capable I am! Thank you to Maureen and her whole team!

Today was Heat level 2 and I was graciously reminded by my heart and lungs that this is a practice and I have much to learn. Facts as I see them about this studio (Cedar Rapids): -The Teachers love what they do! -The fragrances or aromatherapy that are utilized in this studio are subtle which is a nice touch without being overwhelming. -The heat disbursement in the studio is very even. I've been in studios where that is not the case. I feel like every spot is a good one! -The Sanitation is great and there are ample spray bottles. My Inner GI Jane was handed to me today, and for that I'm thankful. I come to my yoga mat to learn how to balance my life, my body, and my spirit. I'm thankful for Heat Yoga as I continue in my practice.

Just went to Barre 563 for the first time this week! Was back in Iowa visiting family for the…read moreholidays and was thrilled to see we have our first barre studio! The studio is small a small mirrored room with ballet barres on all walls. It is clean and organized, and there is upbeat music playing throughout. It probably fits about ~20 students. They offer several classes a day. I've only taken the barre amped so far - which is a pretty typical barre class. We started with a series of arm exercises (small movements, light weights), moved into thighs/glutes at the barre and then moved to the floor for abs (planks, high curl etc.). At $15 a class, it is reasonable for barre. In LA and Chicago, I've seen barre cost $25 a class. The class flowed well and Sarah strikes a nice balance between instruction and encouragement. Looking forward to trying the barre amped bootcamp!

I am a muscular, in shape woman & my body still convulsizes during the exercises in class. If you want long, lean, toned body this workout is for you. Membership is a little pricey due to the small classes & individualized attention from the instructors however I think it's in line with or cheaper than Barre classes in other markets. Plus, she often runs email deals & promos. The instructors really pay attention to your form & posture offering little modifications & corrections. My only compliant is there is not water fountain to fill up from. Refill your reusable water bottle before you get here because it won't fit under the sink faucet in the bathroom. Overall, a fun workout that compliments my more traditional strength & cardio program.

I mean, what if they don't?! (We've all seen that meme of our summer body post coronavirus. Ya know, the one of a circle?! Ugh.) Well. I personally have tried to keep my fitness routine up as a way of de-stressing. Because trust me... global pandemics make me anxious. Crashing economies make me fearful. Homeschooling my kiddos makes me nervous. (And on a lesser note... the fact that pool days and summer are indeed approaching makes me both uneasy and thrilled.) Luckily, so many local businesses are offering virtual classes. Hothouse Yoga has two classes a day on Zoom. Heck yes! This review is strictly on their online services during the pandemic. On day nineteen of my distancing I partook during the lunch hour. I adored the sense of community. Even though I could really only see my instructor, Sarah, just knowing others were doing what I was doing was oddly exhilarating. What a fabulous vinyasa class-- I could feel my stress leave my body. Hothouse Yoga... in a normal, non-distancing time... is in a super convenient location right downtown. A parking ramp lives across the street. (First hour free.) The folks that work here are very passionate and knowledgeable. Pricing is... standard? ($100 a month unlimited classes for non-students, $70 for students.) Thank you, Hothouse Yoga. You got me to feel like everything was semi-normal today. I can't wait to vinyasa with you again soon.
