I just finished my fourth day of classes at this gym and I LOVE it. This is a smaller gym and is…read moreall about personal attention and doing what is right for you. Amanda Riley, the owner, is all about whole body health and healing. My personal experience: I just finish four days in a row taking the 6 AM class. And I can't wait to go back tomorrow. The first day I went because a friend who has gone here for a year had been begging me to join her for months. ("Please, just try it. I know this will hep you!") I have struggled with pain (psoriatic arthritis, an autoimmune condition) and I was worried about a whole body fitness workout (I tried cross fit, not for me). I was and am stunned that I hop out of bed now to make it to Amanda's class. My son commented this morning about how cool it was to see me with energy in the morning again. Amanda recommended the infrared sauna (set on pain relief) for me and, while I started hugely skeptical, I wouldn't miss it now. Day three I got up at 4 AM to go BEFORE class and get an additional session in the sauna. I am shocked at how much better I feel. I have taken classes at a number of larger Twin Cities gyms and I like this better. Amanda modifies some of the moves for me without making me feel like an outsider. Everyone in class is so welcoming. I know a lot of people come here for weight loss, but for me, it has been all about pain relief.

I was having a bad day at work earlier this week but went to class and was reminded why I continue to love Major Body Fitness. It is the people & because I have fun every time! It seems like Melissa & Chloe's (owner/instructors) purpose is to make every single one of us in class laugh, smile, & let loose each time! I feel re-energized, more centered, powerful, & feminine every single time. I also usually feel sore the next couple days which means I'm workin it. You'll learn a lot about different exercise moves, stretching, & even some dance moves. I honestly doubted I would ever be able to twerk but one day I shocked myself (& Melissa lol) by finally learning how & if I can, then it's within reach for everyone! About the New Space: Major Body is no longer in its stand-alone studio. All classes now take place at the Oxford Community Center. This means the instructors spend less time on building maintenance & more time in designing our classes. The building has a free and open parking lot & locker rooms that we are able to use. Note that there aren't single stall showers tho and are instead like middle school where there's a bunch of spouts in one room. The class is on the second floor. You don't need to sign in at the front desk, just go up the stairs on your right when u enter & follow the music and flashing lights. To get in the locker room, just tell the front desk ur with Major Body & they'll buzz u through the doors. Go to Major Body's website for the latest class schedule. Right now the classes are weightlifting (Major Power) on Mondays, Major Bounce on Wednesdays with a follow-up class that differs from week to week, & strength-building at 10am on Saturdays. It's super easy to sign up for class online. You can pay for classes in a bundle online too which is a better deal than paying for a single class. You should also follow Major Body on Facebook & Insta. This will be your best bet in knowing about any free classes or special events they offer once in a while. The instructors still love what they do & that feeling is infectious. If you're looking for motivation to workout while loving your body & having fun, you've got to try these classes out! Thanks Melissa & Chloe & the whole fitfam for creating this unique space! Here's to more health & healing & loving ourselves and each other in the new year!

Took the BUTI Yoga class and man was it a great work out. I'll be honest, it was intense,…read moreexhausting, and I was watching the clock the entire time. However, when it was done I had a jolt of energy. The class fused dancing (like Zumba) to Caribbean, Latin, Hip Hop and Dance music, with yoga stretches, and moves like planks and pushup to build muscle. While it may seem like a lot (to some), it all came together well and with the intense dancing, the other moves provided a bit of rest...while still working out. The instructor, who had lots of energy, had us kicking high, whining our waist, jumping...and for some of us nearly crying (feeling the burn). It was a fun, impactful class and a lovely studio that I would DEFINITELY recommend. A few things to note: -there is a parking lot attached -bring your own yoga mat, but if you forget there are rentals -bring your own water bottle...already filled as there's no drinking fountain, but they sell water -there isn't a locker room (or I didn't notice one), but if you need to change there is a bathroom -come with a positive attitude as it really help(ed) make the experience that much better -they also offer spin class (and other workouts) which I heard is fun

The Tuesday morning classes are at the golf club in North Oaks, very convenient for me, and the East Rec Bldg is a great space with natural light on Wednesday evenings. The instructor is very supportive and takes a hands-on approach, wich I find very helpful for achieving the right poses and technique. Breathing is hard to master, but once you get it, it makes a big difference, and this instructor was especially helpful in taking me to that next level. Five stars!

Unfortunately, this salon doesn't seem to operate with high standards for customer service OR…read moredoesn't have a supportive culture. When my standards haven't been met when paying $200-300, I have been met with tears and attitude. They took it personal, and I only needed slight 'edits' to the original service to feel comfortable with the outcome. I even dealt with tears once, and I was super kind AND tipped well for the 2nd appointments. I work in leadership and assume this salon culture doesn't nurture it's employees, so they are sensitive and 'touchy' when feedback is given or new challenges are put in front of them. As the client, I am left feeling awful for asking for what I want at a high standard! Yuck!

I brought this up to my injector, and they tried to say it was from dust mites... this was back in October, and it's now April and the Botox is clearly worn off at this point and so is the eye twitching. It would have meant more to me if they were just honest and said yes, that can sometimes happen, but instead of taking responsibility, they tried to pass it off as something else. Overall, it's a nice spa and the diamond package is great if you're looking for Botox every three months and monthly skin rejuvenation. I just decided in the end that I would like to save my money for more invasive and aggressive procedures like Co2 lasers which end up costing less than a yearly Medspa membership for mediocre skin procedures (facials, chemical peels, microneedling). The owner and majority of the staff are wonderful though and I would return if I were looking for more low key maintenance skincare.

I get much of my exercise in my home gym and outside when it's nice, but MN winters are not nice. It's hell out there. If you feel the same, you should checkout this place. I was browsing Groupon fitness deals and found Shape Me Group Fitness and went on their site to find out what classes they offer. There's a good variety from Zumba, Turbo Kick, Latin Hip Hop, Mat Pilates, Yoga etc. I went through with my purchase. I was nervous my first time, I went with a Zumba class. All of the instructors are really nice and don't make you feel like a beginner. They make it a point to let you know that no one cares what you look like doing it as long as you're doing it correctly and not injuring yourself. They want to make sure you're getting a good workout, and you're having fun. Which was great because I totally thought I had the moves down, then looked at myself in the mirror and I'm pretty sure I was just running in place and flailing my arms around. It doesn't matter though because everyone else is too busy keeping up, they're not watching you. The classes are always filled with a decent amount of people. You always have room, but you're never looking around like "dang I'm the only person in the mirror." The studio is a good size and you have clear views of the instructor. It's very clean, and there are bins for your personal belongings. My favorite classes so far have been Zumba in the Circuit with Ritzy. It's one minute of Zumba and one minute of machine for 50 minutes. Good stuff. Ritzy is super energetic and motivating, take one of her classes! Turbo Kick with Bao it really good too. I've learned I need to practice kicking higher. I'd never win in a kick off. Dani also works you hard in Zumba, but you feel great about your workout afterwards. All in all you won't be disappointed with any of the instructors here! P.S. For my male friends, there are men there too. Don't be shy!

Rather than being part of a chain, it's a family business, with owner Ritzy teaching many of the classes. If you have a question or a suggestion, she is always available to talk. The instructors always invite you to talk with them after class. The instructors really set the tone for relations among the customers. Their kindness and equal treatment of all means that there's no snobby competition among the students. I've seen everyone from slim, toned model types to plenty of chunky gals like me to people who are badly out of shape and only able to participate for a few minutes at a time. There is a lot of ethnic diversity, too. The studio is clean and comfortable, the cost is reasonable, and there is ample parking. The only downside is that there is not a dressing room, although there is a bathroom where you can change if you need to.
