I've tried a few spin studios in the area and a couple in other states and this one is one of my…read morefavorites. I started with the Groupon for five classes for $25 (awesome deal) and wasn't disappointed. You likely wouldn't actually notice the place if you didn't know it was there - it's not on the main road. The facility is well maintained, there are showers and a bathroom and some lockers. There is water only for purchase and they provide a free towel for the class. For my first class, the instructor Rusty (no longer there) was nice and encouraging, even though I sat for a lot of the class. It is good to come 10-15 minutes before your first class to adjust on the bike and ask any questions. These instructors feel more "real" than in some other spin studios, which is nice; they are also very high energy. I don't like places where the instructor gets up off the bike and just runs around giving encouragement and wanting you to reach back to them - I want the instructors work up a sweat alongside the class, and these instructors all do that. I especially enjoy Nikki's classes - she plays more modern music than the other instructors and she does a great job motivating the class. Lyndada puts on a fun class and Carolyn's class is varied, too. I didn't feel as if the owner was super friendly, maybe just not to me, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to come! I do wish that spin classes were a little bit cheaper but they all seem to run at about these same prices.

I am extremely disappointed with the way Orangetheory handles its membership cancellation process…read more Back in May, I requested to cancel my membership because I knew I would be out of the country for several months. I was told that management would be able to handle everything over the phone and that someone would call me. That call never came. While I was away, I discovered that I had still been charged for July. When I called to resolve the issue, I was told that cancellations had to be done in person, despite what I had originally been told. Today I came into the studio and explained the entire situation to Hannah, who introduced herself as the manager. She assured me that because I had already been charged in July, I would not be charged again on my next billing date (August 14). Based on that assurance, I signed the cancellation form and left. About an hour later, Hannah called me back and completely changed what she had told me. She informed me that I would still be responsible for paying for another full month, despite her earlier promise that I would not be charged. I am leaving again in just a few days and will not even be in the country to use those classes. Charging a customer for services they cannot use after repeatedly providing incorrect information is incredibly frustrating and feels unfair. This entire experience has shown a complete lack of professionalism, communication, and customer care. Instead of working with a long-time member who made every effort to cancel in advance, Orangetheory chose to hide behind its policies while giving inconsistent information along the way. Do yourself a favor and find a fitness studio that values its members, treats them with courtesy, and doesn't look for every opportunity to squeeze another month's payment out of them.

I first saw an ad…read morefor a free introductory class at this location which is how I learned of them and then I saw that they also have a location at Penn station. For my introductory class, I signed up for their Core Pilates. It was really difficult to sign up. I had a hard time getting in contact with anyone (it took about 4 attempts). But when I finally did, the sign up process was easy. They had a lot of classes to pick from, including Pilates, Barre and cardio classes. I didn't realize when I signed up that this was a reformer class. I usually do mat Pilates, but there were a few other beginners in the class and the teacher was very patient and nice. The great thing about the reformer machine is that you can turn up or turn down the intensity of the workout according to where you're at. It does take more coordination than I'm used to being on the machine, but it was fun! The teacher helped make adjustments so I could get the maximum benefit, which I appreciated. The Hackensack facility was really nice and big. They had complimentary lockers and towels and the changing room and restroom were both clean. The membership is kind of steep at $279 per month, but they do have discounts for 26 years old and under an 65 years old and over at their other locations.

For the new people: make sure you wear leggings at or below the knee and a top or shirt (you can't wear just a sports bra). I also recommend grip socks! They sell them there too.

A little better customer service would go a long way.

I have never taken a rowing class before, and decided to do so at Row House in Washington…read more Currently, the complex is under construction but it was still easy to find. There is plenty of parking in the lot. I took the Restore class with Francesca, and it was great. I was given a little intro to rowing before class started, and she gave me all the props I needed for class. The energy was great and I was surprised at my rowing ability. I had always been nervous to try but Francesca was great at encouraging me. They have various themed music classes which seem like so much fun!

I took my 2nd class today, and I can't really stop thinking about how much I'm loving these…read moreclasses. I have rarely enjoyed working out in my life, and I'm not exactly in great shape. I've found workouts that I've tolerated over the years, but I always end up falling off. But something about Row House just feels different. Firstly, it's so close to my house and fits so well into my schedule, so that is really what prompted me to give it a try. I've taken two classes with Lynn, and I can't believe how good I feel. The rowing machine addresses so many of the issues I usually deal with - primarily knee pain and lower back pain which usually prevent me from being able to work my core properly or to do floor exercises well. Because the machine is so low-impact, I got an incredible full body workout without irritating any of my usual problem areas, and also without feeling like I wanted to die during the class (which is how spin class makes me feel). I like that there isn't any change in resistance to contend with. The difficulty of the workout is ENTIRELY up to your body, based on how fast you row and how hard you push with your legs, so I never felt like my body couldn't handle the machine. My body literally only did what it was capable of, and left me with a very healthy but not overwhelming soreness the next day. After trying two different class types, I decided to buy an 8 pack of classes. I've already scheduled my next 3 classes, and I'm considering adding on another one tomorrow. I'll probably end up buying a monthly unlimited plan. Thanks to Lynn and everyone at Row House for being so welcoming and encouraging. I almost cried today in class because I feel like I finally found something I can do with confidence. It really means the world.

I responded to the text noting that the excessive amount of phone calls in such a short period was not appropriate or a good way to gain business and did not receive a reply (but the phone calls did stop, which means the text was likely read and there was simply no reasonable excuse that could be made for four phone calls in a two minute period). I have not visited this location and it may very well be amazing - but I'll be finding a different studio to join after today's display of how potential future members are hounded to schedule their first class.
