    Sweatshop
    Dawn A.

    Sweatshop's barre class is a game-changer! Instructors are super knowledgeable and really push you to your limits, making it a must-attend for anyone looking to challenge themselves.

    I came here because of Hannah! Thanks for inviting me and letting me know of this gem of a studio. I can't wait until sweatshop opens more locations. The whole concept is amazing. They were really nice and accommodating . I came here for yoga and really enjoyed my experience. After being a CorePower girlie I might just never go back to CorePower. The music was all vibes!! I loved it! I can't wait to come back. Also the instructor Justin was really funny because he asked us if he wanted us to open up the windows since it was a little hot inside. We all laughed because it's way hotter outside #ArizonaThangs lol

    **REVIEW FOR VISITOR DROP IN CLASS EXPERIENCE** I was visiting Phoenix for an extended weekend, and looking for a local yoga spot that offered to drop in classes. Luckily, I found sweatshop and can confidently say that the drop in process was so easy! They recommended I download the sweatshop app to view the schedule and show up 15 minutes early to sign up and fill out additional paperwork. So thankful I didn't have to create an account! Upon arrival, I was promptly greeted by the owner and instructor, filled out some paperwork and rented a mat for class. FYI: if you're from out of state, the drop in fee was only $15, and your first mat rental fee is waived! They also offer towels and showers - perfect set up if you're traveling and didn't bring gear. The class itself was engaging, amazing music, hardcore flow class, packed and sweaty (room is heated to 90°). 10/10 recommend this spot. It's so we'll organized, clean, and offers so much and then some. I believe they also offer spin & barre classes but didn't try that out. Thanks for a lovely traveler / drop in experience sweatshop! **ps: lots of parking!

    The Sweatshop on Central is a great local yoga, barre and spin studio at the Uptown Plaza on Central Ave and Camelback Rd. The teachers are great at leading challenging sequences that can also be modified to make it easier are more strenuous. Ashley, Kristin, Kandi and Bex are the yoga instructors that I normally go to, have not yet tried the spin classes or a barre session. Afterwards, treat yourself to a cold brew or iced tea at Aj's.

    I love the location of this studio and the fact they offer a broad selection of workouts. You can do spin, yoga and barre. I signed up for the unlimited 2 week offer they have for first time clients and only did spin as I don't like yoga nor barre but those classes were packed so I'm guessing people love them. Spin classes were good and my favorite instructor was Aeisha who really made the studio live up to their name and made me sweat a ton with her upbeat spin class. The schedule is flexible and you can come to classes as early as 5:30 am. I love that they have showers on site in case you come to an early class and want to head straight to work. This is the first studio that I've gone to that has hair ties for us girls in the bathroom and I loved those little details. I will likely sign up for more classes soon.

    What a great studio! Awesome location, excellent space, and kind instructors. After class, E and I snuck over to watch the Suns at Huss Brewing. City living at its finest. The music is tasteful, teachers are kind and meet you where you are, and are always very friendly. Drop in prices range from $18 to $22, very reasonable. I'm so happy I found this place. I worked as a fitness instructor before Covid and have missed the studio environment. This studio is a great place to start again after a long break. This studio is a great place for beginners. I have yet to take their spin or barre classes. Hot tip: they are not doing lockers so if you bring a lot of stuff to class or like to change in studio, make sure to bring a small bag. I am usually coming from work and have bulky shoes and need to change my outfit. I will definitely bring a pair of sandals in the car so I don't have to bump my doc martens as I'm practicing.

    After barre... garage doors open on a nice day!

    This is my new neighborhood studio for all things fitness!! They've got yoga, barre, and spin and so far all the teachers have been so fun and energetic. I also love when the garage doors are open! Definitely called sweatshop for a reason because I always feel like I got in a good and sweaty workout. Also it's location in uptown plaza is so nice bc you can grab brunch or any other food right after your class to reward yourself :)

    I stopped here this morning for my daily sweat sesh! I found this spot on ClassPass and was really excited to try. The location was in the Uptown Plaza in Phoenix and it was too cool. The yogi was very kind and helpful upon arrival and thoughtful explained to me how the studio was run. The studio adhered to CDC guidelines and was very cautious about protecting themselves and their guests. The yoga class was incredible and I definitely got my stretch and sweat in. It was perfect! I'd totally recommend trying this spot out.

I can't do exactly every position the younger people do, but I give it my best. I follow up at home with swimming, hiking, walking depending on the season.

I…read morecanceled my membership March 2025 based off experiences with other members, not the staff. I rejoined last month, May 2025. I had my first class back, Align, at a different time of day from what I would normally attend. Staff was still great & they greeted me by name when I walked into the studio. The, I don't want to use names, manager is the one that got me to sign back up. She called since they were running a special, and she wanted to see if I might want to re-join. She apologized for the experiences that ultimately made me quit. We discussed the discount options, and what kind of schedule I thought I could have if I joined back up again. I let her know that the four pack class option is best for me, as I work two jobs and do strength training elsewhere. The class was pretty full when I arrived, but I walked in and grabbed a spot in the middle of the room. My favorite spot is the back bar, it is the first location I took a class at back when I became a member and it is the spot I prefer. Class was great, although I let them know Align was a little tougher than I remembered back in March 2025. I checked in on Yelp after class, or before, and I saw some awful reviews. They are what led me to update my review. The owner is great and has been able to expand locations. She really worked with me in the past, like when I originally enrolled and was going to quit due to cost and class times. When I quit back in March they asked why, they tried to get me to come back, they offered different class options. While I was quitting, I kept thinking they were just contacting me so they would not lose a member/money. I realized they actually wanted feedback, to know why I did not feel comfortable in class and what happened to make me want to quit. I should add, when I quit there was a lot going on- someone had driven through the front entrance, so we had to enter through the back of class. I like routine and that threw everything off. Honestly, I should have paused my membership and then just restarted once everything was back to status quo. Back to why I quit- I had placed my water bottle at my spot at the bar- someone completely disregarded my spot and took it over. I felt slighted, things were already off and that was the last straw. As you can see, it was not because of staff, it was because I am particular and routine oriented. Give this place a try. If I remember correctly, the owner of this location has three other locations. That allows you to take classes at any of them, rather than just this one.

Huge shoutout to Sal at the front desk -- genuinely welcoming, helpful, and the kind of energy that instantly elevates the experience. Customer service like that really sticks with you and honestly makes me want to come back. I took the hot HIIT class with Sidney and it delivered. Ambient lighting to start, then lights dimmed, music up, and suddenly it was go time. Great playlist, clear mic cues, and a seriously effective workout -- weights, core, warm-up, cool-down, the whole deal. Packed class but Sidney stayed very attentive, offering modifications, keeping everyone engaged, and bringing strong, motivating energy throughout. Only small note: shavasana felt a bit quick, but overall fantastic class. The studio itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed -- two large studio rooms, appreciate the mirrors to watch form, plenty of lockers and cubbies, multiple showers/restrooms, vanity areas, rental mats/towels (huge when traveling), tons of heated class options like yoga, yin, Pilates, barre, and HIIT, plus a separate red light therapy room that felt amazing afterward. I've actually never seen a studio that had mat drying racks out for everyone , nice touch . Friendly members, great retail selection (yes, I shopped), and booking through ClassPass made everything easy. Definitely a studio I'd return to.
