They did a great job in decorating - it feels good to go to this studio instead of a noisy, stinky gym. So far everyone I have met has been very nice and welcoming. Rebekah and her staff are super accommodating - I have a herniated disc in my lower back and Ellie has been great in scaling workouts for me. They also work really hard to fit you into their schedule (I needed private sessions to begin with), contacting me by phone, text, and email. Super convenient. Though I was (and still am) brand new to pilates, I have never felt awkward or pressured for being a newbie. I highly recommend this place. Give them a call and talk to someone - you won't regret it.

The space was very lovely, spacious and convenient parking wise. All the teachers and students were friendly. During classes I appreciated each teacher as they all have their own personality and provided a safe place to really re-ground. My last class was the candlelight on Thursday and instantly after class I thought, I'm really going to miss this studio. I hope to visit again when I'm in town. Super clean and cozy. Thank you Caroline, Kira, Megan and Stephanie for providing such great space and flow!

I really enjoyed the 30 day into to FlyDog Yoga. I enjoyed taking aerial level 1 on Saturdays, as…read morewell as the Yin and Barre classes. As a beginner yogi, I am always wanting feedback on my form, and I appreciated that the instructors would stay after and answer any questions I had and also give me additional feedback. However, my latest experience after the 30 day trial wasn't the best, and I don't think I'll be returning. I attended my first aerial level 2 class, and I felt like a burden the entire time. It appeared that everyone was already well bonded--which was fine, but there wasn't much explanation behind any of the poses, and it was expected that I know poses that were completely foreign coming from level one. This was really discouraging, and I know I have a lot of room for growth in my practice, but I'd rather do it in a space where I feel comfortable with where I am in my practice.

I definitely will come back! The room itself is small and there were 7 of us which felt like max for the room. They have all the equipment there including mats. There's a dressing room and bathroom. Parking lot is small and can fill up fast in the front but there's more parking in the back.

The instructors are fabulous--knowledgable and compassionate--and I always leave a class feeling like "that was EXACTLY what I needed...how did they know?!"

We've visited two of acac's C-ville locations (Downtown & Albemarle Square) and they're both great…read more The facilities are immaculate. Machines and free-weights are clean and in good repair and I haven't seen them super crowded. The locker rooms are large and well-kept. Every staff member we've interacted with has been friendly, up-beat, and helpful. The Downtown location advertises a rooftop pool. While it does exist (and is nice), it's very small - basically the width of one lap-lane. Almost like a large plunge pool. Downtown also has a parking garage with free access for members which is excellent. Some other reviewers have accused acac of being too expensive, but we were actually pretty satisfied with the price. Given the amenities and multiple locations, we feel that the membership fee is plenty reasonable. If I had to call something out for being a bit overpriced, it'd be the smoothies at the gym cafes - they're good, but after Virginia sales tax and C-ville meal tax, you're looking at 10-11 bucks a pop. At that price point, I'll be bringing my own shakes for post-workout!

I started at ACAC from PT and I did not continue after my 60 days. It is a very dirty facility…read more You see women cleaning all the time but I don't know what they are doing. The women's locker room is disgusting, it smells and there is hair all over the floor and on the shower walls and floor. The hot tub is dirty too. The locker room is way over due for an overhaul. The lockers are dirty and don't get cleaned out ever. It doesn't make sense to have kids in the women's locker room either. Have a family area for changing clothes. Also, the pool is always overrun by kids and it's loud. Terrible gym don't waste your time or money.

So after going to Soulcycle when I was home in NYC in December, I decided to give Purvelo a second…read morechance, and I'm glad that I did. The instructors and front desk reps are so friendly and took the time to get to know me at the cheer station for the 10 miler event last week and before/after the regular classes. I accidentally left my water bottle at my bike last night, and emailed the team. The owner, Kristin, was an angel and alerted the staff. One of the instructors and the front desk advised me of where the lost and found is and helped me figure out which one it was. Thank you for that because that bottle is expensive, lol I am literally sweating my fat away in these classes. I step on the scale every morning and noticed that I have lost three pounds this week. When I went last year, I lost ten pounds in about three weeks. I also feel "refreshed" and like a brand new person after my classes. After my contract ends with another boutique gym in the area and if I stay in the Cville area (I'm out of the area 5 days a week/12 hours a day for work right now), I will alternate monthly between going here and the other gyms in the area (I like to mix up fitness routines because I get bored easily). Parking is still a little tricky in the evenings, but since I signed up for the early morning classes, it has been a breeze (knocks on wood). I'm not a morning person, so not wanting to go back to sleep after classes taken at this studio is pretty awesome. That's how great the instructors are. Please do not change, Purvelo.

I have to preface this review with coming from REV Cycle studio in Baltimore, I have high standards…read morefor cycling studios. I was pleasantly surprised with this studio! I was in town for one weekend and wanted to try the studio and they kindly offer a complimentary free first class. I came for an early Sunday morning class and was greeted with very kind staff members happy to help or answer questions. The class itself was different than I expected, but still an overall great workout. They are very Soul Cycle like with the combinations of upper body crunches and push ups style dance moves, which was the one draw back for me. I am more into the hardcore HIIT style bike work outs and am not coordinated enough to mix in the crunches and moves along with fast cycling. The instructor, Robyn, was great and very energetic and kept the energy high the entire class. Overall I would come back to this studio to try a different classes and instructors!

Also he insisted that due to late timing for my cancelation I will be charged any how, so I should have to take the class. I went and lasted for about 25 min. The instructor had no clue of my back problem although Bryan said the instructor will work based on the knowledge I had provided to him over the phone when he insisted me to attend the class.I ask her if she was aware of my back injury and she could not respond anything, she seem confused and did not any thing about my condition. I asked her if she knew how to work with the pain in my lower back and she said there was nothing to prevent the pain. So I left. Seems to me as it is was more important to take my money from clients than to act more responsible and ethical way. Business is not just about money but integrity.

You can rent shoes for $2 cash, or a little more if you pay with card. Bikes are assigned in advance, but you can change it at front desk. Now onto the class! Studio is dim lit - which is great because you don't really have to worry about anyone but yourself. Music is loud and bumpin'. The instructors are all super friendly as well and give great cues. Rides are rhythm based - so you want to try and stay on beat to maximize the workout! The best is during pushes - the mirrored wall lights up club style! Workout is well balanced with flat roads and hills, there's always a solo song and an arms workout song! I always end up sweat- I mean sparkling after class :) My favorite part of the entire Zoom experience however, is once class is over, there is an absolutely splendid tiny cold wet towel. Let me tell you, after a hard an sweaty workout, this small treat is absolutely godsend. To top it all off, there is a minty touch to the towel - no doubt a product of essential oils. Even though it's a small touch, it is HIGHLY appreciated and really refreshes! Overall, Zoom is a wonderful studio! I go via classpass, but they have student specials! Check it out!

This studio is highly professional, inspiring and fun! I cannot say enough superlatives about the manager Juanita Franke ! She is extremely professional, engaging , kind and generous . Her mastery in anatomy , physiology and exercise science is exemplary! I love attending her classes ! She explains the exercises so well and clearly , as well as the benefits and physiology of w he at she is doing . As a client and a PT every session with her is a party for me . The majority of the instructors at this studio are also highly professional , knowledgeable, motivational and engaging . Some newer instructors require more supervision and training in my opinion but as I said the vast majority of them are extremely qualified and well versed in exercise science and quite creative in their approach . Especially notable in addition to Juanita , are Chloe, Sofia and Wendy . Pilates is a great way to keep in shape in a very fun way . I hope I can continue this wonderful exercise modality forever and I highly recommend this studio in Charlottesville under the masterful management of Juanita Franke .
