As a runner and fitness lover, I was thrilled to discover The Studio and the number of classes it offered. I had been struggling to find a fitness studio in Ventura that provided high intensity workouts and really struck gold when I signed up at The Studio. I have been involved in sports and fitness from an early age, so I was used to working out hard and challenging myself. Not only do the classes challenge me, but I feel as if my overall fitness has improved. The instructors allow you to tailor moves to your ability, offering modifications or harder versions of each exercise. The instructors are amazing-highly skilled, motivational and never fail to make me work harder. No matter who teaches class, you are guaranteed to get in a great workout. The variety of HIIT, Strength Training, and Yoga ensures there is something for everyone. I even committed to my long-term goal of taking up yoga and started taking the classes at The Studio; it has been so beneficial to my all around fitness. The Studio does an amazing job at providing the high intensity classes that I crave. Another huge benefit of joining The Studio is the feeling of community. It's great to see familiar faces each class and I have really enjoyed getting to know the other members and instructors. The environment is welcoming and fun-everyone comes willing to work hard but there are always lots of laughs. Although I love working out, I genuinely look forward to seeing the instructors and other members each day and the classes have become the highlight of my week. Helya has done an amazing job at creating a positive fitness community! read more

You know that feeling you get when you meet someone but you instantly feel like old friends? Everyone at The Studio is just like that. They make a point to get to know you at the beginning of class, to learn your name and any injuries prior. They keep a non-creepy eye on you and let you know when your left knee is wobbling late in your squats and when you're doing that move they showed you backwards. You can count on them to bring it hard every class, but there are countless modifications for each workout to accommodate all walks of life; couples working out together, parents switching off, new moms, parents bringing their high school aged kids to work out, old friends and new friends, people with weight, strength, or stamina goals- everyone is represented. The owner is amazing and has worked hard to establish a supportive culture. Each trainer has a unique background with very different areas of expertise, making each week fun, exciting and well rounded. The Studio is also pristine. The floors are mopped often and everyone wipes down their mats after use. Even signing up for classes is simple with the app and you check in to class on a tablet. At the end of your workout, when you leave the gym, you know you'll come back the next time and pick up right where you left off. read more

I've belonged and have tried many small gyms. I've never had a bad experience but The Studio has been the best experience. Most gyms are about themselves and not necessarily about their clients. The Studio on the other hand is all about their clients. They go above and beyond to bring you the best experience. Each trainer is so knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness and they actually care to teach you. You would think that's the case everywhere but sadly it's not. When your form needs correction they will come over and assist you and if you need a modification they've got the perfect one for you. They will tailor the workout to make sure it's working for you. Helya(the owner) does these amazing coaching calls once a week. She talks about a different topic each week and you're able to join the discussion and ask questions if needed. And when you wanna work on a skill and have questions about whatever, twice a week they will stay late and help you. Not only that, they actually care about you. They take the time to get to know you and always want to help you. They are motivating, genuine, and accommodating. I feel like I have finally found the gym I will stay at forever. read more

The Studio is such a fantastic place to work out, get health tips, and just overall feel better! I've been working with owner and personal trainer, Helya for about 6 months now and feel so much better. She is wonderful to work with, tailors our workouts just for me, and really listens to my goals and how I'm feeling. She pushes me when I need to be pushed, but knows when to say when. I've worked with other trainers before and they either don't push enough, push too hard, or just don't listen. Helya is the best I've worked with by far! When I told her that I was pregnant, she knew just how to change our sessions so that my exercise was productive but safe for baby and me. (The pricing is also much better than other gyms and trainers I've worked with, FYI) Melissa and the other teachers are also fabulous, and the classes they have look great! I highly recommend the Studio, for its classes, personal training, or other healthy stuff... I love it!! read more

I first was drawn to this gym because of "Animal Flow" and began following them on Instagram. And when their January Healthy Habits Challenge came up I jumped at the chance to check them out. I have had a wonderful experience this past month taking classes (all virtually at this point), focusing on my health, and trying things completely out of my comfort zone. I highly recommend The Studio, they have a great mobility component to their instruction, probably one of my favorite things there because my body feels great and my range of motion has increased in just a month! And I really love the functionality of their classes, from strength building to yin yoga, and animal flow to mobility, it's varied and effective! Plus the trainers are all positive and motivating, and that's just from the recorded classes I have taken! Super satisfied with my experience so far :) read more

I've been a member at other "traditional" gyms and I never really felt comfortable, especially with strength training equipment. Since training at The Studio, I have become more comfortable with working out and the equipment, and it is all due to the trainers -- their expertise and dedication to each member! There is also a real family feel with the members and everyone supports and encourages each other! The Studio is more than a gym...with the individual attention, the various challenges, and the encouragement on a personal level, you can't help but reach (and exceed) your goals!! I am on a life-long journey to becoming the healthiest and strongest I have ever been, and I am very thankful to Helya, the other trainers, and my peers for helping me get to where I want to be!! read more

Been with the Studio for over a year now and the results have exceeded my expectations. Helya is an amazing instructor and keeps me accountable to my goals. She always made herself available to all my questions about health and fitness. I am enrolled in her corporate classes and they've been very flexible with scheduling. They also tailor the workout to the needs of the class and have worked with first time participants and seasoned enthusiasts. You should come check out one of her classes... from HIIT (high intensity interval training) to Yoga and everything in between. I think she offers 2 free classes before any commitments. But I can assure you that you'll be hooked! read more

I started going to The Studio about a year ago. It has be an AWESOME experience since day 1. The owner, Helya, has provided multiple alternatives to exercising in-person since the beginning of the pandemic. I appreciate her doing her best to provide a safe space where I can get a great workout 7 days a week. The amazing trainers at The Studio create a workout each day & post a video on The Studio's social media so you can follow along if you miss it! The Studio's emphasis on body positivity, mobility, and strength have become essential in my life. This is a place I trust to accomplish my goals and feel motivated to do so on a daily basis. read more

I've been going to The Studio for a year and it has completely transformed my perception of exercise, fitness, and health. Working out is no longer a chore - I genuinely enjoy going to a workout because The Studio is a fun and welcoming environment. Helya is such a fantastic trainer, mentor, and coach and all the trainers are so warm. The Studio has challenges throughout the year, and many of them are team challenges. This has allowed me to harness my competitive side to improve my personal health and get to know a great group of fellow members. The workouts range in difficulty and style so I appreciate the variety during the week. read more

The Studio is such a fantastic gym! If you don't like the feeling of working out in a big, cavernous, chain-store-type gym, but instead what to get the one-on-one attention of a boutique workout studio, then you need to check them out. They offer a full range of group classes, with both early morning and after work hours, as well as personal training sessions. The owner Helya N. is not only extremely knowledgeable about fitness and personal training, but also about nutrition. She understands all the different factors that go into fitness and will work with you to help you achieve your health goals. read more

When you walk in, you can tell they really care about this place and the people who come there to get a good work out/feel accomplished and healthy. I took a HIIT class taught by Helya the owner and I LOVED it. She was down to earth, inspiring, extremely knowledgeable, and great at giving modifications if needed. I was challenged but not destroyed and it was actually kind of fun. ( I can't believe I am saying that!) I got a good vibe from all of the other people in the class - a nice community feel without being nosy or pushy - and would give this business 6 stars if I could! read more

It's like my second home and the people in it are family. From the trainers to the clients, everyone is so supportive of each other. It's easy to get there 6 days a week between the workout the friendly and knowledgeable trainers and the friendly clients. I have been attending classes at the studio for about 2 1/2 years. It is the first gym I've found that I have been able to notice the changes in my body, my mind, and my attitude about healthy living. Helya has created a great place for people who want to make a big change and need the guidance. read more

The Studio is such a great place to exercise, feel better, and get motivated! I have been working one-on-one with Helya, and can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is encouraging, positive, and knows how to customize a workout just for YOU. I haven't personally taken any classes (yet!), but hear from friends that the teachers are amazing, and the workouts are fantastic! Whether you are just starting your health journey, starting back up, or continuing on your path to greater health, The Studio is the place to be! read more

Helya is committed to excellence in everything she does! She is a motivator, a leader, a source of strength both physically and mentally. She makes you feel at home in her studio so that you can go away feeling stronger and empowered! She will tailor make your workout to suit your needs and goals. When I take one of her classes it is not only fun, goes by quickly, but you always get something you weren't expecting. An all around awesome place to go and I cannot recommend it more! read more

I'll never get used to the idea of being sore and feeling great at the same time. Every time I'm here, that's what happens. Just sore enough to know I worked my tail off, but not so much that I don't come back. Helya is phenomenal when it comes to judging what a person needs to stretch themselves without breaking down, mentally or physically. If you're serious about your health and fitness goals, what she'd call lifestyle changes, do yourself a favor and check out The Studio. read more

The Studio and its trainers are truly a hidden gem of Ventura. I love the close knit community feel they have created with in the gym setting. At the studio you are greeted by name and with a smile. I primarily train with Helya. She will always challenge you to reach that next level ( and make it look so easy and graceful) but she is also very conscious of teaching proper technique and will happily help you with modifications when and where you need it. read more

I am new to weightlifting. Although I am an athlete and am active, I typically hate gyms, and hate working out indoors! I tried out a free class at The Studio, and have been coming for 2 months now. I absolutely love the atmosphere at The Studio and have really appreciated each of the instructors taking the time to help me learn proper form. I am starting to really enjoy strength training and can't wait to learn more from The Studio. read more

There are so many gyms in the area but why did I pick this one? I picked it because it has a wide variety of exercises, doesn't focus on one particular type of workout, is welcoming of people of all fitness levels, has a variety of trainers, the gym owner is very responsive and helpful, has a non-stuffy atmosphere, the workout schedule accommodates me, and the studio has a fun group of good people who all push and motivate each other. read more
