As a result, I had all but given up trying to reestablish a routine. My back has been an issue for decades and I thought that I'd tried everything - chiropractics, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, accupressure ... you name it. I'd resolved to just live with the nearly constant discomfort and occasional debilitating spasms. However, Gabriele has changed my perspective by focusing on carefully building core strength while not aggravating other issues. She listened carefully to my problems, asked about my desired outcomes and she designs each workout specifically for my physiology and my state of progress. I can't say enough good things about her adaptive approach and positive energy!

After crossing the one year mark of attending Everfit classes, it feels like a good time to write a…read morereview. This one is for people looking for a little more insight other than the commonly praised music, community, and coach (all which I agree with of course!). Some context, I was a regular to Crunch classes and was looking for a place with heavier lifting and more of a challenge. All of my workouts are morning ones, either the 5:30 or 6:30. The evening ones and teachers I'm less familiar with but everyone is great. That said, I do think these workouts are best for those with some exercise experience under their belts. We do various exercises which helps keep things interesting, but there's a lot of basics (deadlift, chest press, squats etc) that would be helpful to know prior to coming. You can still be a beginner though and even someone completely new to everything will be welcomed with open arms. Also, get the app and be sure to book classes through there. The workouts are fast paced, and the very first few might feel like you've walked into a tornado. The coaches start with a warmup and then will give you a rundown of all the workouts before starting. It's a real test of memory , but if you forget, others and the coaches will always help. We count on each other for that. Each day is a different workout with a unique purpose, but they generally are medium-high intensity and HIIT (high intensity interval training) or AMRAP (as many reps as possible) style. I'll go over them, but keep in mind these are the 5:30/6:30am classes. The late morning and pm classes are probably the same but I can't really speak for them. MONDAY - Upper and Lower - this is a time to get a full body strength session in, and is my favorite day. No cardio, just the opportunity to go a little heavier. The coach is currently Ciera and she's amazing. So fun, knowledgeable and kind. TUESDAY - SWEAT - cardio lovers, this is one for you. It's the most despised one for me and many others , but the highest calorie burner and a key day to work on agility and those fast twitch muscles. WEDNESDAY - Booty Blast - don't let the catchy name deceive you , this will have your whole lower body burning. It's a day when we go heavy on legs. Usually done in an AMRAP style, this one is a good one to find a group with similar experience and weights. THURSDAY - Cardio, Core Chest, and Triceps - this is a good one if you want a little taste of the cardio work, but also get a solid chest and tri workout. FRIDAY - Back, Biceps, Shoulders, Core - another welcome strength day that feels like a nice relief from the higher intensity work. You will still sweat, don't worry. SATURDAY - AMRAP - it's a full body strength and cardio session. Again, the AMRAP style is most optimal if you look for a group in a similar strength and fitness since you will all be using the same weights and moving through them quickly. Expect all classes to start with a 5 min warmup, and then end with everyone sharing responsibilities of spraying down the equipment and sometimes putting it away. Chris, the head coach is really great. He's very kind, easy to work with, and really knows his stuff. I am constantly impressed with how well balanced the workouts are, and how he manages to keep it interesting and fun! The gym is also very clean, and there's ample parking. I haven't done a dexa scan in a while, but in the first 6 months I lost 5.6% body fat and gained 2lbs of muscle. I'm only ~110 lbs for reference. Overall, I recommend Everfit if you're looking for a spot that is consistent yet interesting and fun. The community IS great, and even though there's not a lot of time to chat, Chris hosts social events and I know a lot of people that have found very solid friendships through the classes. Come try it out! There is a 7 days for $7 pass on their website, or some people use class pass to see if it's a good fit. Hope to see you there!

The Vibe: The View From Inside After a full day of driving,…read moreI was ready to move. The room felt warm & spacious. A good place to settle into the body and begin to notice. The Guide: Izzy Henley - Hot Flow: Izzy invited us to begin wherever felt most comfortable in our bodies. From there, she invited us to step into the role of observer. Observe the breath. Observe the thoughts. Observe the sensations moving through the body. Just notice. Then we began a steady climb: Sun A. Sun B. Izzy cued the poses in English, guiding us gently and slowly through each side before we moved breath to movement. The pace stayed smooth enough for movement to follow the breath. Then we began moving around our mats. Long holds had us facing every side of the room, until Airplane was literally flying in opposite directions. Izzy offered options along the way: Arm variations in Airplane. Headstand in Wide-Legged Forward Fold. By the time we began down-regulating, my whole body felt as though it were melting into the mat. Then a cold lavender towel was placed in our hands during Savasana. Complete surrender. The Tribe: After class, I asked Izzy how she discovered yoga. Get this: She entered yoga teacher training at 16 years old and began teaching right away. She now has nine years of teaching behind her. Imagine if every school gave young people a place to observe their breath, their thoughts, and the sensations in their bodies. What a different world we might be observing. The Space & Place: From the outside, Align is understated. Inside, it feels grounded and cared for: Cool concrete floors. Warm wood. Green plants. A wall devoted to community. The yoga room is spacious, with dark wood floors. Bonus upon bonus: Free onsite parking. Lockers, with locks available upon request. A friendly, open staff. And, for a limited time, a free coconut beverage after class. Simple. Pure. Sweet. The Shift: After a day spent watching the road, this practice turned the view inward. Izzy gave us room to notice, time to build, and enough steadiness for the breath to take the lead. Field Note: Observation doesn't take us out of the experience. It brings us more fully into it.

I've really loved this studio and have had great experiences in the past which is why I was…read moredisappointed by what happened today. I arrived about 10 minutes before my scheduled class but no one informed me which room the class would be in or what equipment we needed, which is usually communicated. When I walked in I noticed there was no one in the room and started wondering if something had changed because classes are normally full. I heard people asking about weights, so I assumed they were attending a different class. I stepped outside to use the restroom and waited to see if anyone else would come in, but I was still unsure of where my class was being held. When I went outside again, I saw someone rushing out for a block and realized the class was actually happening in a different room. By that point, the class had already started, and I was scrambling to figure out where to go and what equipment I needed. I had to carry everything from the other room into the correct class area while trying not to interrupt. I'm not sure if it was because I was perceived as being "late," but the instructor, Kylie Gifford, told me the class was full, even though there appeared to be one open spot in the front. I had woken up at 6 am, driven 25-30 minutes to get there, and had already taken my pre-workout in preparation for the class. Being offered to take the 8 AM class instead didn't feel like a practical solution after already making that effort and arriving on time. I left feeling upset, embarrassed and disappointed by the experience. I understand things happen, but I hope the studio can improve communication especially with class pass members to ensure they feel welcomed and know exactly where to go and what they need when they arrive. I truly enjoy this studio and hope this feedback helps create a better experience for future guests.

They would not take cash nor would they just charge my credit card. I will not give any business my card to keep on file for one purchase. Should I have signed up, then if course I would have given my card. Who in the heck is in charge there? They are just throwing business away.

I even liked the music she chose which was a sort of EDM/country mashup, and that is saying something because I generally dislike country. And she actually said during the class that she was trying something new and doesn't usually do country and probably wouldn't again. But! It was surprisingly good. The studio was also very clean. It is one of the studios that if you don't have the upgraded-studio type of membership that some locations have, you have to pay the $10 extra fee. They had a small selection of things like spray, deodorant, tampons, makeup remover cotton pads, the standard shampoo/conditioner/shower gel in the shower... Speaking of the shower, it was such an amazing shower. Their water pressure is incredible and felt so good after the workout. The studio itself felt really spacious. They have 16 stations (whereas my home studio has 14) and it seemed like I had plenty of room on the floor, and there was a little more space between the rollers, then at my home studio, which was really nice.

This studio is stellar in every regard - leagues above other barre studios I've attended. I began…read moretaking classes here in 2012. At that time, I was either dancing and/ or running every day of the week. Once I began taking class, I noticed a difference in how my body held itself up; my core strengthened and my performance in my other activities improved. The Bar Method strengthens the entire body through small isometric movements, using your own body weight, as well as small handheld weights. After you work each body part, you stretch it; the practice leads to increased muscle strength, as well as greater flexibility. The practice focuses on alignment and posture, so while the hour long workout is rigorous, it is also low impact and exceedingly safe. In 2020, I moved back to Walnut Creek and had my daughter. Two years later, I returned to Bar Method and felt the classes helped me reconnect to my body. Making carrying around a squirrelly toddler much easier. Not only that, but the studio brought with it a sense of community, and the onsite childcare made my re-entry to Bar a possiblity. The co-owners, Chelsea and Audrey, are delightful human beings. They set the tone for the studio. The instructors are brilliant, many of whom have been teaching there for over ten years. It's an inclusive, welcoming environment. I could not recommend more whole heartedly.

Honestly the sequences are all relatively similar but it's something about the instructors alignment of their music to their sequence that resonates most with me when I practice. I generally do sculpt and so there's more beat to movement but I do love the C2s as well. I was a long time member until I moved out of the area. I would say that this studio gets a 4 star is because the time I attended the most, their heat was broken for a good 3 weeks and so classes were canceled. It made it difficult for a few weeks but also the studios are upstairs then the 2nd downstairs but you can't exit that way, you have to go up and back down to exit. I don't mind a few more steps added to my daily goal but it didn't make much sense. I did appreciate that it was handicap accesible though so maybe that's why.

I think the woman was just used to folks who are pretty familiar with their setup, so she spoke at lightning speed and didn't really leave much room for questions. But once she asked if I had take a hot yoga class before, I was a little puzzled. I have, but I now have a medical condition that prevents me from feeling totally comfortable with taking that risk, so I specifically looked for yoga classes that weren't heated. (You wouldn't believe how hard that seems to be to find these days!) Once she let me know, I had to leave and unfortunately, I never got the credits back from ClassPass. The lack of cooler classes aside, the space was clean and sanitary. It seemed like it could be a nice place for a workout if they had something available that was up my alley.
