I haven't been to Ananda yoga and was looking to reviews to decide whether or not I should patronage, as a professional business who is looking to protect themselves from liability, they should and have the right to deny or accept your participation of practice. I have come to this conclusion that you are bullying this small business and you and your other 1 star wife have a poor basis to give them a 1/5 stars. If your wife being that she was pregnant a seasoned and experienced yoga instructor doesn't give her the right to have an exception, this is black or white. She should understand the liability involved of those who don't have the knowledge, background or training to do yoga, so fortunately she does, so why not do perinatal yoga on your own?? Better yet , with your wife's passion why not develop a perinatal yoga class to support your cause? Build up rather than break down. Ganging up on Ananda with yours and your wife's 1 star reviews, I find that targeting, ganging up on, disrespectful and misuse of yelp. I have no connection with Ananda again nor do I know the owners. I'm just a normal person looking at reviews and think that you and your wife have aggressively misused this services and should take one of your posts down to accurately reflect the one experience you are referencing. I'll be updating my post after I attend a class, 2 or 3. Respectfully, Jana

Club Pilates El Paso West - A 10/10 Experience! From the…read moremoment I walked in, the customer service at Club Pilates El Paso West stood out -- friendly, upbeat, and so genuinely helpful. The front desk staff, Bianca made me feel welcomed before I even set foot in the studio. I ended up doing a one-on-one intro session with Kelsey, and she was fantastic. Even as someone who's taken plenty of Pilates classes elsewhere, I learned so much. She took the time to tailor movements to what my body needed that day (I was sore from a long run) and walked me through every detail -- from equipment to memberships and even local fitness talk. The studio itself is spotless, beautifully organized, and full of top-notch equipment. My favorite part was the strength and stress-control segment -- challenging yet incredibly grounding. Overall, an exceptional experience with great energy, great people, and a seriously great workout. My only request is some Club Pilates "El Paso " swag ! There wasn't a lot of retail to choose from other than grip socks and I love retail !

Hello Club Pilates Team,…read more I ended my membership at Club Pilates West on August 7, 2025. At that time, I was informed that because I canceled on the 7th, I would either (1) be charged for the next month, or (2) choose immediate cancellation, which would end my membership right away and prevent me from taking any more classes for the rest of the month I had already paid for. I clearly chose immediate cancellation and did not attend any further classes after August 7. Despite this, I am now receiving emails stating that I owe $300 for September, which is not accurate. Since I canceled immediately and forfeited the remainder of August, I should not be billed for an additional month. I want to make it clear that I truly valued my time at Club Pilates. I left positive reviews because, for the most part, I really enjoyed the studio and the classes. However, one unfortunate experience led to my decision to cancel. During one of my first Flow 1.5 classes with an instructor named Kelsi, I was made to feel belittled and unwelcome. She commented in front of the class that I "looked miserable" while I was attempting a workout that was new to me. Later in the same class, when I tried to step out of my comfort zone and attempt another exercise, she told me to just sit out instead of encouraging me. This was discouraging and hurtful. I was bullied throughout high school, and my boyfriend encouraged me to try Pilates as a way to improve my mental health, get out of the house, and socialize. Instead, I was met with the same kind of belittling treatment that I had hoped to escape. Pilates, in my opinion, should be about support, therapy, and recovery -- not judgment and humiliation. The most disappointing part is that, despite bringing this behavior to your attention months ago, I never received a single apology or acknowledgment. Because Kelsi teaches multiple classes per week, I ended up avoiding at least eight classes per month, even though I was paying $300 for an unlimited membership. That is not fair to me as a paying member. Given all of this, I believe I have a very valid reason for leaving your studio and for not owing any additional fees. I respectfully ask that this $300 charge be removed and that my cancellation be honored as immediate as of August 7, 2025. Thank you for your time and understanding. Sincerely, [Luisa Paola De La Llave ]

What I like about them is that they let you take a FREE demo class, which is a really good mix of all the different classes they have. I then took a stretching class called "Align" that I actually fell in love with. It's the perfect mixture of yoga and resistance training, and it helps you with your posture and alignment, while still getting your heart rate up. The facilities are clean and modern, and the instructor, Erica, is high-energy and super kind. They also provide you the equipment like bands, mats, and weights, just need to clean it afterwards. They only offer classes on certain days, and the schedule is uncertain because they're in a transition period. The owner of the franchise sold it to two different owners, so now you have to get a membership at each studio, instead of being able to go to the Pure Barre here off Redd or Kern, when it was under the same owner. Other than that, the classes are high-quality, and I enjoy them. I just wish they offered more, but I understand they're a small, growing studio, and it's really close to my house, so I can't complain. I also like that there's no judgment, and you can go at your own pace. I usually modify the exercises so I don't hurt myself, because I'm so out of shape. A lot of the people who take the classes come from Pilates, which I also wanted to try, but apparently the reformer machines are kind of unforgiving, and they suffer a lot of injuries. Pure Barre is a more natural and more forgiving way to lengthen and tone your body without hurting yourself, so I'm glad I took this instead. If you're interested in trying them out, they have demos you can try. And now that the kids are going to school, I'll be going to take more classes, because it makes me feel so much better and really helps me with posture and hip and back problems that you get as you age. The classes are also pretty affordable if you buy a package, and they always run specials. -TODOELPASO

Pure Barre kicked my butt. I signed my boyfriend and I up for the Love Your Body class on…read moreValentine's Day and I still feel the burn in my abs today. PB gave us a great workout in a fun environment. I'm usually more of a studio jumper (I like going to different types of studios like yoga and pilates and kickboxing and... well, you get it). Signing up for a single class is only $20 right now. I was lucky enough to have a discount code for a free class, but I would've taken the class regardless. You can purchase single classes or memberships online, but I'd check at PB first because they might have some kind of discount going on. Our teacher was Courtney. She was awesome! She started the class by making sure we understood the lingo ("tuck" was the big one that day) and as the class went on she made sure we had the right posture and we weren't taking the easy way out any chance we got. "Find your shake" was said a lot and I did find my shake. A couple of our friends came too so I think that helped to keep us on our toes... literally. PB classes are a mix of yoga, pilates, and ballet. The ballet portion of it is more isolated standing and sitting stretches... so no, you won't be doing any pirouettes during PB. The workout wasn't so strenuous that I was near death, but between pumping weights and holding a small PB ball between my legs, every muscle in my body felt like it was working. The whole studio is in tip-top shape. In the very back there is a small locker room where you can leave your stuff and pick up weights, a band, and a ball for the class. Before the class we also picked up some "sticky socks" in the front shop area. They actually have a lot of women's apparel available like shirts, capris, and leggings. Great class, awesome instructor, and wonderful studio! I'll be signing up for more classes very soon! Oh and they sometimes have different types of events so check into those.

I dropped in for a hot Pilates class, and from the moment I walked in, everyone was smiles, greetings, and genuine warmth. The vibe was welcoming, the energy was high, and the class? Next level. I've taken a lot of hot Pilates and yoga over the years, but never with a male instructor -- and wow, he absolutely delivered. From start to finish, the class was intentional, challenging, and perfectly balanced. We used bands, dumbbells, blocks, and towels -- everything was provided, which I love. The room was dark, the music was vibey (think transient EDM that keeps you in the zone), and the heat was real. This isn't infrared -- it's that old-school, steamy, humid heat that pushes you past your limits. Pro tip: hydrate hard 24-48 hours before you go. Bring a big water bottle (or two). I had to sit out part of the squat series because I started to feel lightheaded -- but the instructor immediately noticed, turned a fan on me, and checked in multiple times. That level of attentiveness is rare. He even handed out chilled, essential-oil-soaked towels at the end of class and pressed them gently on our eyes and temples while cueing deep breaths. All the senses were hit. There's no shower (well they've removed the knobs so you cannot access the shower , when I asked about the shower the owner explained how hard it would be to manage 1 shower and 2 classrooms full of folks wanting to use shower- which I totally get ), but there are three bathrooms -- two downstairs and one upstairs , plenty of places to change clothes after class-- plus a massive room & cubby area to drop your stuff so it never feels crowded. The studio itself is beautiful, with a bold mural at the front and such a great community vibe. A regular even helped me out mid-class -- total team energy. This is not a beginner-friendly class, and I mean that in the best way. It's intense, sweaty, and humbling -- exactly what you want when you sign up for something called Hot Box. I've practiced yoga for about 20 years all over the country, and this studio officially made my top three nationwide. The drop-in fee was $30, and it was worth every penny. My only regret? Not snagging that cute Hot Box sweater before class (front desk was empty afterward). Lesson learned: buy your swag before you get drenched. If you're looking for a studio that's tough, authentic, and packed with good vibes -- Hot Box is it. Come hydrated, come ready, and come to sweat.
