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

I was excited to learn Pure Barre opened two locations in El Paso since my last visit here in 2017…read more My sister-in-law lives very close to this Kern Place location and is a regular. She was able to get me a free trial while I am visiting here for Memorial Day weekend/to celebrate my nieces' birthdays. We came here three times already! Friday and today we took the classic class, with Erica Friday and Heather today. We took owner Salina's empower class on Saturday. The workout is very challenging but the instructors were motivating and corrected my wonky posture as needed. They seemed to know all clients' names and called out compliments to people by name throughout the class. The studio is spacious and clean. On Friday, we got free wine after the class! I also got free scented epsom salt as a newbie. I definitely was sore after each class! This is a nice community of women and a great addition to the area!

This studio offers three different classes: classic pure barre; empower (which is more of a cardio workout); and reform (which is more Pilates based and incorporates resistance tubes). I love all three classes. The regular barre class incorporates small movements where you use your own body weight as resistance and then you stretch intermittently throughout class. I've always loved fitness but Pure Barre is by far my favorite work out! Plus, the people at this studio are amazing! I can honestly say being at the barre is my happy place. If you are even the tiniest bit curious, check it out! Worst case scenario you will get an amazing workout. Best case scenario it will change your life! This studio, in my opinion, also boasts the best work out retail in the city! Check it out :)

Also slightly embarrassing is the fact that since it opened up in the plaza with Koze Teppan Grill and Café Italia, I've been getting a regular guilt trip from their sign every time I go to stuff my face with sushi or pizza. Nevertheless, I'm glad I finally got around to giving it a try. This gym is different from most I have seen in the past-- it's a female-only gym that is entirely class-based, with no equipment that you just go in and work out with whenever you feel like. Also, they center many of their classes around something called the MyZone. MyZone is basically a band that goes around your ribcage right near your bra strap. It tracks your heart rate, calories burned, "Effort Points," etc. Effort Points are basically a function of how high you get your heart rate and for how long. It's a whole thing, and there's an app, and I will admit, it's a bit confusing at first, but I will also say that, as of this morning, I've completed three classes with it and already have the hang of it. If you have any questions or hesitation, I would recommend you chat with the trainers on staff there-- they're super helpful in explaining what it's all about. I'll admit I was a little hesitant about joining this gym because the format is so different from anything I had tried before.... but honestly, after the three classes I've taken, I'm sold! I love the fact that your membership fee covers all the classes, with no extra fees. This means that you get a ton of one-on-one or almost-one-on-one time with the trainers for your base fee. At many other gyms I have seen, working with a trainer costs extra, and often costs a LOT more than it does here. The gym, from what I've seen, prides itself on an environment that is supportive, encouraging, challenging, and upbeat. All good things for a fitness studio, whether you are a newbie or a pro at working out! Other pros: - It's clean. Like I-don't-know-how-they-keep-it-this-clean CLEAN. - They run really nice specials on the cost of joining! To give you an idea, the MyZone tracker thingy usually runs about $100 (I'm 90% sure), but I got it for $50. Also, since I signed up after only two classes, instead of taking the full seven day trial that I could have, I only had to pay for the MyZone tracker, and not for the actual membership-- so I got October for only $50! Additionally, they locked me in at a discounted rate of $89 a month because I signed up during a promotion. So price-wise, it's a pretty nice deal. - I believe they even offer childcare by appointment if you have kids. So no more excuses that you can't join a gym because it isn't kid-friendly! - They have a ton of different classes: Zumba, Spinning, Boxing, HIIT, Barre, Yoga, Boot Camps and more! - They switch up their schedule so you don't get bored or have to take the same class over and over, because it's the only time slot that fits into your schedule. Also, they rework the class schedule every month to give even more variety. I'm looking forward to trying all the different classes that they have! Little Known Fact: Envie is an Australian Fitness gym! In speaking to some of the staff, I learned that it's actually quite popular over there, and is just getting started here in the States. So far there are only three U.S. locations, though they do have plans for more. How cool is it that they chose to open one of their three first studios right here in El Paso?! :D

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 ]

The Studio celebrated their one year anniversary and I had the chance to check it out with my sister who goes quite frequently. She has been trying to get me to the studio for some time so it was nice to finally check it out in an open house setting. They have a dedicated pilates studio and a core strength room to enjoy their class schedule from 6am to evenings. I even saw a private training room which was pretty cool. The pilates room had about 10-12 beds and they have a rotating list of trainers which was cool to learn. It was a great opportunity to see what all The Studio has and now it's a matter of coming for my first class.
