This was such a unique and cool experience! I had two hours to kill before a wedding and learned a…read moreton about glass art in this short period of time! This is a fun activity for the whole family. The owner, a former teacher who turned her hobby into a business, is great with kids. There are small bits of glass around, so it's not for super little ones. Optimal for a group experience or making a gift for someone special. Tip-If you're visiting from out of town, they will mail you your creation (it needs to be fired several times and takes a few days).

This is my second time being here and I always enjoy it. I will definitely try to come back if I'm…read morein the area again. They let you select a glass base and they design the colors in any way you want. Then, you can pick it up or they will ship it to you. My friends and I just shipped it together and picked it up at my place. They also provide great suggestions of designs and even have some pieces to buy. Overall, great place and wonderful customer service!

Absolute gem of a place to train. Stopped by to see if I could train a day or two while visiting…read morethe area from out of town; their morning crew and training vibes were so awesome I trained with them the entire week - even bought some merch to wear once my trip was done. Not only recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid gym to learn, but will be coming back if I find myself in the Charlottesville area again!!

I am continually amazed at how spot on Casey is when planning my sessions. She keeps updated with…read moreGyrotonic advances by going to trainings and bringing specific adaptations for certain body parts that then globally affect my body. Gyrotonic is a superb system to address joint concerns and build flexibility and strength throughout the body. After menopause, recovering from injuries has been more complicated but Casey has been steadily and consistently helping me with patience and nudging me to go further than I would on my own. Very little feels sore after her workouts and it has been compatible with my PT and now yoga again finally! Besides that we laugh a lot! Call her up and give it a few visits and you may be hooked too. My body insists on going even if my head is saying you just need more cardio, and boom, I build up a sweat the next lesson!

Casey does an excellent job of increasing my flexibility and strength. She tailors each session to…read moremy specific needs which has allowed me to improve more quickly than if I were in a class setting. In addition to my enthusiasm for the Gyrotonic method and Casey's instruction, another element that sets Movement Barn apart is the setting. The ambiance of The Movement Barn is calming and relaxing, The one on one session takes place in a small rustic barn. Views are of wild flowers and pastures nearby. Despite the proximity to downtown Charlottesville, you feel as if you have escaped into the countryside. The calm atmosphere allows teacher and client to focus on the exercises at hand without distraction. I enjoy every session and remain impressed with Casey's commitment to and knowledge of her craft.

They'll work around it and help you heal/improve. They train serious athletes, young kids, harried parents, and oldsters trying to stay mobile and fit. They will push when you need it, lay back when you're having a bad day, and switch it up to make sure every part of you gets attention. Definitely recommend to any and all comers!!

It was fantastic and I cannot recommend this class enough. The workout was tough but Ann guided everyone through the motions and kept the class aware of the timing/rounds for the entire workout. The facility is very clean and everyone was more than welcoming. Overall it was a great place to get a workout with absolutely no sense of gymtimidation. If I lived closer I would be a regular.

I went to the gym here when I lived in the city and I absolutely loved it. Sure, it was small and…read morethere weren't a ton of classes, but the price (for those that live in the city) cannot be beat! Plus, they are always doing specials and you can purchase month to month or longer contracts which is rare to find. I loved the cycling classes taught by Laurie. She is to this day my favorite group fitness instructor, and I wish I lived close enough to still go to this gym and take her classes. There are also a great offering of classes for children here like tumbling and dance which I plan to take my child to when she is old enough. I look forward to updating my review then! They also hold events, which I've been to a few, and they are always very well put together and well run! Overall, such a versatile venue that is a great part of C'Ville!

The yoga itself and the teacher are great! However fully enjoying the experience is hindered by…read morewhat seems to be a no cap on number of people/fit as many bodies in the room as possible. It's very uncomfortable to be so squeezed in and so close to your neighbor that it's hard to do some poses. Also when you're sweating profusely no one wants to be that close together. Especially for $26 a class I expect to have space. Not show up and have to ask people to squeeze together their mats because there doesn't seem to be room for us even though we booked in advance? Also it seems that many people crammed in a room like that has to be against fire code. It is really frustrating that it seems they don't manage the amount of people who sign up for the classes or put a cap on it. Like we easily couldn't not had a spot and we signed up/paid in advance. Please Hot Yoga put a lower cap on classes so we can better enjoy the experience!
