My wife has been here a few times and she really wanted me to try it with her one day so Saturday…read morewas my first Anjali experience and contrary to some of the previous reviews I couldn't have been more pleased! When we checked in we were given complementary towels as well as yoga mats Since we didn't have any of the supplies necessary. Our teacher for our class, Susan was there to welcome us and since I was a first timer she asked me questions about my previous yoga (which is basically nil) so she could ensure I got the most out of my experience that morning. She was able to offer me individual help during the class as well since I'm not nearly as advanced as most in the class appeared to be! Even before the class started some of the other guys in the class were offering encouragement to me as a first timer, it's a hot class and boy do you sweat!! Like I said Susan was there to offer me options for some of the moves that I couldn't quite handle and after it was all done I honestly felt like I was gonna have a great day! It was super invigorating and I can't wait till were back in Avalon and I get to do this again! Btw, this is a hot yoga so the sweat was pouring off me but when the class was done they sanitized our loaner mat and did likewise for the floors which is great, it doesn't smell like an old gym in here, they do a nice job of keeping it clean!!

I've been to this studio once before, end of last season 2013, and had a pleasant experience…read more Unfortunately today's experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I registered early online and thought that I was set for a great morning practice. Upon arrival I saw it was going to be crowded- no prob, it's the weekend and I knew plenty of yogis would be at the shore! I set up my mat and was ready for class to begin. After a growing line of people arrived to register , the teacher told us we had to move our mats to touch the person beside us and now expect a "modified class" because "that's just how it is." I didn't move my map quick enough or close enough I guess because the teacher told me to get up so she could do it right. She was also just picking up other peoples belongings and moving them that she thought didn't register yet. At $17 a class, i did not sign up for a modified class where I was literally sweating on top of my neighbor. ( you need at least a 3 inch buffer around the edge if your mat- what if you needed to use the bathroom during class? You would have been walking ON people's mats since there was not an inch of flooring left) I know that this abrasive, money hungry attitude of the manager really made me think that perhaps the experience was not about the practice but rather seeing how much money she could rack in at the start of the summer. I've practiced in some tight spaces but today's class, in the hot environment, would have been completely unacceptable( and not to mention, against the occupancy code for a building). I quietly asked the owner for a refund since I was not staying to be a part of this and she had an attitude with me. Being that she was clearly making more money than normal with the sea of sardine yogis spread across the floor, I thought she would have said no problem. Not so. She told me to wait outside to see is she could pack more people in and then "she would see." I'm just really taken back by the un yoga like behavior of the manager and teachers. Beware of this potential environment if you choose to practice at this Avalon studio in the summer months.

Last weekend we schedule a private beach yoga session with hipAHA and had such a great experience…read more We were down in Fenwick Island for a bachelorette and scheduled a yoga session with Rhonda. Rhonda was a great instructor and understood that none of us really have done yoga before. She explained as she went through the motions and showed us difference moves so we really could get a feel for yoga. Having 7 of us in the class was really nice because Rhonda could walk around and fix our poses if we were doing them incorrectly. Rhonda also provided mats and water bottles which made the 7:30am much more relaxing not having to get that stuff together. I visit Fenwick Island often and am excited to try their Boot Camp and other beach sessions. Thanks hipAHA; we had a blast.

The heater motor burned out on Tuesday and NO repairs have been made and there is no information available regarding status. It is COLD in the gym.

So here we go - my pros and cons Pros - Friendly and welcoming owner Mel greeted me and chatted while we waited for the class to begin. He is a very nice man and even made me laugh a few times. Plus for not having that 'gym machismo' factor. Pro - This workout is intense - I'm pretty fit, but I got my butt handed to me so much so that the next day I went out and purchased a fitbit heart rate monitor so I can see how close to cardiac arrest I am should I ever go back. Pro - This is a total body workout - strength, cardio, balance, they hit all the zones. Pro - First three classes are free - that is very generous, most places offer your first class and then you're on your own. Cons - There was no stretch what so ever. The class ended and everyone just left. I was kinda left there looking around like "is this it?" Mel said I was more than welcome to stay and stretch if I like, but they dont do it. I felt kinda odd since other's were coming in and so I just left. Cons - I am a person who need a class card. I travel a lot and so I purchase class cards so that I can use them when I'm in the area. This is the type of place that you need to buy a membership. I don't live in the area, but would love to work out here if I'm working in this part of Jersey. Cons - I hate putting this down as a con, but here goes. When this class was taking place we were just told to which exercises to do, there was no demonstration. I know what almost all of the names of things are but even so, there were two or three things that I wasn't sure what they were and I had to look at my fellow exercisers to see what they were doing. It would have been good to see something demonstrated or to have received some correction and adjustment to prevent injury. I would be back if they sold class cards and used something like #MindBodyOnline so I could see their schedule and book classes - but that is only if they sold class cards. If you are very very new to working out, you may find this to be an intensely challenging class.

Quite possibly the best butt-kicking money can buy. No two workout sessions are alike, and expect…read moreto get a full-body workout each time. Mel definitely knows what he is doing and genuinely care about each and every person in the class.
