I came here with my friend to do a vinyasa class while in town. While I have no complaints about…read morethe instruction or the actual yoga, the atmosphere of this studio is very unusual. It's in a sort of industrial warehouse space. Very high ceilings and little sound proofing between the studios. While I was attending the class, I was really bothered by the amount of noise coming from a group of teenage girls who I think were doing aerial yoga in another studio. Really killed the vibe of the vinyasa class especially during the relaxation portion in the last 10 minutes. Also, this studio is very dog friendly, so folks with allergies please note this. Especially in the entry way, there were a couple dogs including one that appears to belong to the owners. Not sure I'd come back here which is not something I say lightly about a yoga studio.

I have been going to this studio for a year and there is nothing like it! Jessica (owner and…read moreinstructor) teaches both yoga and aerial strengthening classes. My personal favorite are the aerial classes, which have changed my body in ways that other fitness classes have failed. Jessica challenges and pushes you in every class, but if you are a beginner or have injuries, she modifies the exercises specific to your needs. Also, which is extremely important for me, she changes the classes every time to avoid boredom and so your body doesn't get used to the same movements. Other great pluses are the Rockband class - an hour of nonstop cardio hitting wood blocks with drum sticks and Aerial Cirque d Soleil class - performing aerial acrobatics in the swing. She also coordinates a team for obstacle/running events held locally (i.e. warrior dash, urban raid, inflatable 5K, etc) and has a couple weeks out of the year teaching kids specifically. Overall, the atmosphere at the studio (and owner) is warm, welcoming, fun, and challenging. A MUST studio to check out!

This class was by far the best barre class I've ever taken! The instructor, Juliana, was so welcoming, motivating and knowledgeable on proper form and technique. The class was a perfect mix of barre work, mat work, and weighted exercises - the hour class flew by. I feel like this would be a perfect place for barre beginners since it's much less intimidating than the typical vibe at pure barre, but is also an incredible, advanced work out for people who have taken barre previously. I'm so sad I don't live closer to the barre effect. I'll definitely be coming back to this studio any time I'm in the area!

All the trainers and owners were really friendly (most of them knew me by name) which was surprising and a great atmosphere to be in. I tried several classes as well as participated in personal training for a couple months before I moved back to Boston. The classes were challenging and they definitely accommodated all types of fitness levels especially the spin classes. Kickboxing wasn't my favorite but that probably because I'm coordination-challenged. The other people in class were nice and overall it was just a great atmosphere to work out in, and the instructors were incredibly motivating - cheering on individuals as they work harder. Your hard work won't go unnoticed. The personal trainer that I got to work with was Jamie who was chosen because his schedule worked nicely with mine. Jamie is an outstanding trainer and overall amazing person to spend time with. I had so much fun training with Jamie, he was funny, optimistic, smart, and he definitely challenged me every time I came in. Additionally, he was super accommodating to my changing schedule, and personal needs from a trainer. Even when I wasn't in the mood to work out or was having an awful day/week - training with Jamie always helped to turn things around. And beyond the gym and my physical well being, this guy helped me a lot mentally and with situations that had nothing to do with my body. I really can't say enough good things about this guy. I feel blessed that I got the opportunity to meet such a great guy and sorry that I had to leave Western Mass.

She is a positive, motivational leader who pushes you to give your best each and every class. She is knowledgeable about technique and form, and cares deeply about your progression.

Each and every session leaves me feeling exhausted and sweaty, yet stronger and motivated to come back-- and push myself further the next time. There is a great group of folks that make up the Tribe family. It's a group that welcomes and encourages no matter what level you are. Do yourself a favor and try Tribe.

The instructors Susan, Donna, Sarah, and now Liz are motivating, kind, and very tuned in to where you are at in your work out.

I vote for Core Barre as the best place around not only for the expertise in fitness they have to offer, but the family friendly feel Susan and her instructors give to the place each and every time you go.

But from time to time I get shin splints and in general I think I have weaker shins. So I looking for other ways to get exercise and stay fit that wouldn't be putting so much pressure on my shins, until I can start my PT treatments. I luckily came across April and Charlene From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed and felt like I belonged in the community. Everyone was so friendly and positive. I absolutely love April's energy and her positive, fun personality She always makes me laugh in class and makes sure to encourage everyone at all levels. I have taken Zumba classes many times before and I've enjoyed them, but I've never met people like April and Charlene who were just so down to earth and personable and made me feel so comfortable and right at home Last week we did a fun XMas playlist which was super cute and incorporated great moves, and working different parts of our bodies. I love how April incorporates core and muscle work into her songs I always end up leaving the class smiling and in a better mood then when I started, so that's definitely good thing! Not to mention that post workout glow I really wish April taught more Zumba classes during the week. I would definitely go to her 3x/week for Zumba if that was an option!!
