This review is of an Align 1 class from someone who has done mostly classical pilates for 6-7…read moreyears. Somewhere in between classic pilates and HIIT. Lots of classic/contemporary pilates movements but done back to back in super high repetitions with none of the mobility focus or breathwork in classic pilates. This was extra weird for me since the class was called "align". This class was also really strangely paced. You do a ton of ab work with lots of repetitions for a very long time then a break of doing nothing, then arms the same way, then a break of doing nothing, etc. There wasn't really a flow like in other pilates classes and a very intense focus on a particular body part at a time- often until failure. We were kept in the same positions (on your back with legs in tabletop and on your knees doing armwork) so long that it was kind of painful just maintaining the position. It was a really tough workout if that is what you're after and you aren't hung up on the classical pilates format. Overall I liked it fine and the instructor seemed better trained than at most of the contemporary studios popping up. 2 complaints: 1. Instead of asking each person individually as they enter if they have injuries to be aware of, the instructor just asked the entire class as a whole. I didn't tell her my injuries because it felt weird announcing it to a room full of people. 2. Two different women in class almost face planted when they put all their bodyweight on the back of the carriage while it was on the lightest spring. The entire front of the carriage flipped up like a seesaw when they moved to the back. For it to happen twice in one class seems kind of dangerous. Overall I would probably try some of their other classes, but wasn't in love.

i LOVE THIS PLACE. i wish they had more locations but truly this is the best workout ive done in…read moreforever. You do a 60 min workout consisting of 20 min of spin, 20 min of strength, 20 min of yoga in that order. i've tried so many spin and pilates classes and i find myself getting bored of them but i never get that feeling at Spenga. Liz is a phenomenal instructor, but all of the instructors are so high energy and make sure you have correct form to stay safe while working out. It's pretty beginner friendly, and the instructors offer modifications during each workout so you never feel weird about maybe not being able to do the workout exactly like them. I have made all my friends try spenga at least once and I'm truly obsessed.

The first time I took Spenga, I kept telling my best friend I wanted to come back immediately! We both booked through ClassPass since we wanted to try out a new studio. Plus, 3 - 20 min exercises in one class is super interesting. 20 min of cycling, 20 min of weight lifting, and 20 min of yoga at the end to cool down. The front desk staff are quite inviting! The instructors have AMAZING energy, especially when we first took our class with Sergio. He was motivating, smiled, and just had this high energy that kept me going in my workout. ESPECIALLY, during the first 20 min of the spin portion. I recorded my workouts on my apple watch for each section and booooiiii you basically burn about 400 calories total! You gotta bring your own towel and of course water!! They got you dripping in sweat! There's plenty of parking in the back of the building, plus lockers to put your stuff in and shower. I highly recommend trying this place out! You get everything you need from cardio, weights, to even yoga cool down.

They have great trainers who are focused on truly helping you with professionalism and experience, not like at the big box gyms. Ask for Will -- we've really enjoyed our new lifestyle with his coaching. We're both more toned, have more energy, and the clothes are fitting nicely. Ha! Easy drive from downtown, West U, Montrose, even the Heights. Some of the people who train here drive in from Spring and Sugarland. Great place to focus on bettering yourself without all the distractions. So glad we found this place!

The weights focused classes always seemed to move too fast, other classes too cardio-based,etc. Well BFT has the perfect balance of all of the above but more importantly, it's done right! The trainers/coaches really pay attention to form and making sure you are getting the most out of your workout while staying safe. They also take the time to learn about you and your goals so they can "push" you in the right direction. BFT is more than just a gym, it's a community. You will see familiar faces in the gym and at BFT events you actually want to attend. All this to say, just do it!

Since l cant reply your response, lm gonna leave another as a reply to you…read more 1) You said l was explained by "creepy bold guy" but he never approached to me to say something. I was told by an asian guy at front desk plus he refused to tell me the reason why we can get a free trial so it never happened or creepy bold guy lied to you. He could just approach and talk instead of staring me from the room (which lm okey , hope he learned something from me) And just wanna confirm l got my NASM certificate on 2018 2) l agree about accepting limited people. Of course, that place cant handle more than 10 people same time so you ask 300$ which is acceptable, but not for that dark and old machines. 3)nobody asked for ultra bright lights, but we need to see dumbbell section or plates clearly for our safety. 4) no question about music in the gym. 5) l meant your pricing and machines quality (due to old age) dont match. It is acceptable only with decent price obviously not with your pricing.

It's a Cute & small studio located on the second floor. They do validate parking in garage and valet. If you valet, it's only about 90 minutes, whereas if you park in the garage, it's unlimited time. The parking garage is very spacious and well lit with an elevator. Christina & Nhi are great instructors and made me feel comfortable the entire time. You are not expected to do anything you can't do. The class is to relax and for your body a good stretch. It's very chill and vibey there. I recommend trying the out through classpass or about $38 per class. They also offer memberships.

I've been going hard in training to pass the Air Force ASOS / TACP physical requirements and this recovery method has made a huge difference for me. I'm PR'ing everything at the gym. I also track my light and deep sleep, and the stats from my deep sleep went from about 2.5 hours per night to about 6.5 after partaking in Fire & Ice. How does it work? You spend 3 min in the ice bath followed by approximately 15 min in the sauna. Repeat 3x and do one final ice bath dunk at the end. If you're killing it and feeling run down, check them out and ask for Justin. He'll take great care of you. It's made a HUGE difference for me!
