Whether you're a barre elite or just a newbie looking to get in shape while having a little fun,…read morethe Refinery will welcome you in with open arms and show you the ropes! The Refinery is a barre fitness studio that has created a process called BodyREmix: Release. Revive. Retain. to help you sculpt your body in the best and fastest way possible! Their Barre Original classes are one hour low impact workouts that still target the total body. Taking a strong influence from ballet, yoga, and pilates, barre is about performing small movements to strengthen muscles that you didn't know you had! Every strength segment is followed by a brief stretch to soothe your muscles and limit soreness. On my last visit, Sheryl Webster, the instructor and the business owner, took us through a tough but fun Barre Original workout set to some upbeat music that kept you pushing through the pain! I was so glad to see both seasoned barre athletes and rookies like myself out there! I thought I was at least mildly in shape before taking the class, but I was suffering from a special level of soreness that I didn't know was possible afterwards. I can certainly attest to how good of a workout barre is! You may become addicted, since they make it hard to go back to boring ole weight lifting! Seriously, give a barre class a try!

Wow! Yes! Great place to be! Great instructors, great music, clean space. There are two bathrooms…read moreand one even have a shower. I love it here, I walk away feeling good after every class. Good vibes here Update 3/12/20 I still love it here! While it may be easy to make a first good impression, it is more difficult to sustain it and they have sustained it in all ways, earning my trust and loyalty. They are willing to work things out , respect you, and are open to receiving feedback. I think the best woman in Tallahassee can be found here! I feel happy to be a member at this place , and I plan to continually join Refinery as long as I'm in Tallahassee!

She was able to explain all the movements and assist (time after time lol) with fixing our movements to ensure we were during the exercises correctly and precisely. She made us feel very welcomed. Definitely recommend trying out this course.

After 250 classes, the obsession has turned into a lifestyle. Pure Barre is a great workout and a…read moregreat community. There are three different types of workouts all meant to achieve "lift, tone, and burn" during your class. Pure Barre Classic is a barre class that focuses on tiny movements. I love how low impact it is! It made it safe and easy to get back to regular workouts and I have seen many pregnant women able to handle the majority of the class. One of the instructors carried twins to full term and was doing Pure Barre nearly all the way to the end! That is how gentle it is on your body! Pure Empower is a cardio workout with a platform involved. It really gets my heart rate up and I get into the awesome music mixes they play. Pure Reform is a Pilates style class using resistance bands. It was really a game changer in improving my shoulder and arm tone, in particular. It is an excellent total body workout too. All the teachers are great! They each have something that is unique they bring to class. I never even consider what teacher is teaching I just take the class time or format I want because everyone is really fun. You can really tell they all love Pure Barre too. The studios were recently refreshed and the vibe is light and energizing. Each class finishes with a nice stretch and cool down that lets me have a few moments of zen "me time". There are challenges and monthly goals you can sign up for to keep you accountable. They have classes all day starting as early at 5:30am and as late as 6:30pm they recently added a second lunch hour class for those that take a later lunch. The workouts really feed on each other, so you are constantly improving which helps keep you motivated and interested in your workout. I wish I had found out about Pure Barre years ago but I am so glad it is in my life. Give them a try!

I love the variety the staff brings to each workout. I especially like the heavy bag and dumbell workout. Instructors are very dedicated and motivating. I've been a gym rat for a long time. Never have I felt as comfortable as I do at Sweat Therapy Fitness. Great job by everyone there!!

Wanted to try something new and just figured the classes would be similar to and just as laid back…read moreas yoga - not! :-) I reached out to the establishment and received information from the owner, Laura, who was super nice in explaining everything and even informed me of a special that was running at the time. I was able to observe a class to see if I would be interested - and I did give it a try. I did a weekday evening class (Reformer Jump) and a Saturday morning class (Core Reformer); both were a bit intermediate. However, the instructors were patient in helping to make sure everyone was able to keep up and stay on point - or do what is more comfortable for the individual. I probably need to engage strictly in "very beginner" classes, lol! Unfortunately, the beginner friendly classes seemed to only be offered during the weekday morning hours and I work full time. In any case, for those who are interested in Pilates, I would certainly recommend this place. Note, individuals are responsible for sanitizing the equipment after the class is over. Hopefully, everyone sanitizes correctly for the next person.

This review has been a long time coming. I've been taking Pilates classes at Core Aspirations,…read moremainly in Crawfordville and a few in Tallahassee, for almost seven months, and I have had nothing but a wonderful experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and make everyone feel comfortable, no matter their fitness level. The classes are well-paced and challenging in the best way, and they have made me stronger, more balanced, and refreshed. I really appreciate the clear guidance and positive energy in every session. I definitely recommend Core Aspirations to anyone looking for a great pilates workout in a welcoming environment.

When I first moved to Tallahassee, I looked for a gym in hopes to find both a place I could work…read moreout at, as well as a means to make friends. I chose Club Pilates as it's a reputable chain, they were brand-spanking new, and my bad ankle needed to work on balance. I figured it was an all-around win. Unfortunately for me, all that glitters isn't gold. Yes, the gym was pristine and the manager (or is she the owner?) Hannah is a sweetheart. Heck, all the trainers are sweethearts. Ditto with the front desk. I have no issue with their human capital. My issue stems from their app. To sign up for a class, you need to use their app, and depending on what time you select for class, the class may be already full. Yes, there's a waitlist, but the odds of getting off of it are hit or miss. Oh, and if you miss a class, you are charged for it either financially if you're a full-fledged member or you lose a class if you aren't. I understand the concept of being held accountable, but having to call to explain you're in the middle of a traffic jam isn't appealing to me. I suppose what it is is simply that I was spoiled by the gym I was a member of down in South Florida. To me it just wasn't working out, it was a family. I didn't experience the same at Club Pilates, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, that along with the fact that I'm used to more intense exercise made me cancel my membership. Ultimately I was just okay with my experience there, and if I'm paying $199+ a month for that, well... I'm better off seeing what else is out there.

Justtttt when I was heavily considering cancelling my membership (because I didn't feel like I was…read moregetting much out of my membership/the flow sessions), I attended a cardio sculpt class taught by Jackie. She gets 5/5 stars! I loved her playlist, the energy she brought to the class, and the overall representation of another African American woman in this predominantly white space was the extra push that I needed. Because of her enthusiasm and guidance, I'll be sticking around for a bit longer and will likely exclusively do the cardio sculpt classes unless I just want a really good stretch or slow day.

I am leaving this review only because this company uses software that obtains your information…read morethrough it's ads apparently. I just received a phone from them stating that they "Received my information" and wanted to talk about me about joining. When I asked how they "received my information" they informed me I must have clicked an ad or social media post. I do not recall doing so, but its possible I clicked something. Regardless, clicking an ad should should not result in a phone call. I find this to be predatory marketing behavior. It immediately makes me not trust this business. I will say the person I spoke to was very nice and said they call people all the time who do not recall clicking an ad. They understood I was not interested and polite about it. Ultimately this person is just doing their job. Given that we live in a world where data is stolen, sold and people get inundated with spam calls I think its bad practice to use this type of marketing for a "local" business. It feels predatory and out of touch.

There's only six designated parking spots if that, very inconvenient when there's like 100 plus…read moremembers and you have six parking spaces in Collegetown so parking can be horrible anywhere in the area. I can't count how many times I've had to leave without going to complete my workout simply because there was absolutely nowhere to park. you spend the entire day waiting on your workout time and get there and find that it's full of people that aren't even on the schedule that just decided to join Friends or whatever it can be incredibly frustrating. Today is one of those days where I absolutely could not find anywhere to park after waiting all day to go do my workout after work once again drove Home incomplete for the price I pay. They should have a lot more parking than they do. So disappointed!!
