I met with Nadia the owner, and she has such a classical additional respect in her teaching of yoga. We started this class with restorative yoga using postures to heal the body and create a sense of calm. We moved into a gentle hatha and transitioned to our painting segment for a time and finishing with a beautiful guided Nidra meditation. The studio offers Yin, Vinyasa, Hatha, & Ariel yoga.

All the…read moreinstructors are great and the owner Nadia is amazing and really cares about enhancing everyone's individual practice and experience. There's a good variety of classes, including aerial which is awesome. The only thing that is kind of a bummer is my work schedule is pretty crazy and I would love more late evening classes that aren't only of the more meditative variety, or earlier classes that I could do before work. I feel like I can't go as much as I would like to bc of that, or I miss out on classes I want to take the most bc the schedule doesn't ever rotate and I can only take the same classes that are available with my schedule so it would be nice if things just rotated every now and then so it varied slightly. But again, these are just some simple suggestions and I absolutely love this studio and everything about it. It's really ignited my passion with yoga and given me a safe and comfortable space to enhance my practice and be a healthier, happier version of myself, inside and out. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I always recommend it to everyone and anyone interested in getting into yoga. I just wish I could go more!

In '04 I was injured, flying out of the turret of a Humvee in Afghanistan, leading to a permanent…read morelower back disability since the age of 21. It's been a challenging journey of recovery, surgeries, and physical therapy. Although it has improved over time, my back remains delicate. I joined 7 months ago with high hopes, but it turned out to be a bad fit. The workouts often aggravated my lower back issues, despite the excellent form corrections from Shakira. She was great, but I couldn't always attend her class. Additionally, half of each of the classes involves treadmill work, which isn't suitable for spinal cord injuries. I initially looked forward to using the rowers but they weren't used in the programs as often as I'd hoped. My membership allowed for cancellation at any time (so I thought), and my billing date was the 13th of each month, paid in advance. To cancel, I visited the gym on 8/28, where Marielle was professional and provided the cancellation form. She mentioned I'd be billed again on 9/13. While I was fine with paying for the period from 8/13 to 9/13, I disagreed with being charged $109 on 9/13...weeks after cancellation. I requested Mark, the GM, to call me. Time passed, but Mark didn't call. On 9/17, I spoke with Abby at the front desk and asked her to relay my message to Mark, but still, no response. The following week, I talked to Marielle. These are the games they play. There is no other logical reason for the extra hoops, other than to rip off their members and grab an extra couple $$$ from them. It is estimated that Americans pay $400,000,000/yr in unusable gym memberships and unreasonable cancellation fees. The gym industry as a whole normalizes stealing money from hard-working families as part of their business model, and OTF Lakewood Ranch is no better than joining in on the same unethical practices. That being said, I've run and owned businesses for 19 years, and the first sign of a toxic manager is an inability to address customer issues or return calls. It's a simple yet crucial aspect of building goodwill and should be a top priority for any manager. Anyway, Mark finally called me back after nearly a month and was immediately defensive and condescending. He insisted I should have read the contract, which he said required 30 days' notice given 30 days before cancellation. Confused, I asked, "So, 60 days' notice?" "NO! 30 DAYS! READ YOUR CONTRACT!" he snapped. I responded, "Mark, that math doesn't add up. I canceled on Aug 28th; why should I pay for almost 50 days I can't use?" "Well, you can still come in, so you're not paying for anything you can't use," he mocked. "I can't use it. I suffered a severe lower back injury in the Army when I was 21. It's not suitable for me," I explained. He cuts me off "Well thank you for your service." He replies like a sarcastic teenager. I picture him holding his nose and sticking out his tongue as he says it. "But you should have told me about your injuries before you canceled, but I think you're just trying to scam me now." "So...I'm required to tell you private medical info?" Mark carries on about contracts... The next day, Mark emailed me a copy, but the cancellation policy he described was nowhere to be found. After reviewing it with my wife and an attorney friend, we couldn't find anything remotely resembling what Mark had claimed. I've attached the contract he sent to this review. After several emails and calls from Marielle, I was told I had signed an old version of the contract, and the new version had the cancellation policy Mark described. "So, you should refund me based on the contract I signed, right?" "I'd need authorization from the actual owner to do that," was the response. That was five days ago At this point, I don't expect a refund. If OTF needs the money so badly that they resort to ripping off disabled veterans upon cancellation, they can keep it. My experience with Mark was the worst interaction I've ever had with a business. From the moment he called me, he chose an ego battle over doing what's right.

I've been a member here for about a year now as it is close to home…read more The place is packed a lot of the time. They have high active membership as there are no other gyms nearby to pick from so let's hope more come into town. With the high volume of traffic you would think they would have a larger more active cleaning staff but nope. They say it is due to the staffing shortage but the place really needs more cleaning and often. There are dust bunnies everywhere, over flowing trash cans and paper towel dispensers run out quickly. The temp is higher than comfortable based on the number of people and the activity taking place. There are many trainers working with clients and they seem really focused. It is great they are attentive to their paying customers but they don't really see or recognize the other people working out are also customers. Thus they are not friendly or pleasant or even acknowledge you exist. I have gone over to ask if I could ask a question and nope...no help. This definitely doesn't make me want to hire any of them to coach me. There are a couple who seem to be very good trainers who actively engage with their clients vs standing around gazing so do your homework if you decide to hire and pay for services. The sales safe seem to be very active in opening new memberships but less interested in keeping the members they have. I am guessing because they have the market cornered in this area. The benches and equipment are starting to show wear and need replacing as the seats have splits and cracks. The classes seem to be full and active so although I haven't taken a class it looks promising and know my husband likes the spin classes, instructors and participants. I also wish they had a community where people could get to know each other. I believe it would be wonderful to have a supportive channel but when I asked...the answer was no and their was no interest in it at all. I've gone to the gym for most of my life and know with social media there are ways for members to engage. Back in the day there were bulletin boards but here there seems like little to no interest in creating a neighborhood unity. It is a fast traffic in and out thanks for your monthly payment. I have a Planet Fitness Black card and have driven over to W Bradenton and Sarasota where I find the experience better. The Sarasota location was cooler in temp and cleaner over all. I am really hoping that as LWR continues to grow more and different options come into the area. Would be great to have a Lifetime and another Planet Fitness here. Maybe then they'd be more interested in providing good service.
