I went to my first YogaMix class this past Tuesday evening, and it was a Yin Sound class. The first…read morehalf of the class was a nice and gentle introduction into Yin yoga followed by a restorative sound bowl relaxation half. Having been out of practice of yoga for about two years, give or take, this was a great way to get back in practice. Fast forward to today, and I attended the Mat Pilates class today and it was far more high intensity and high energy. This class was more challenging but it was a really good work-out. The instructors for both classes were super sweet. My only suggestion (and this is because I am used to how things were in the previous studio I use to attend years ago) is that it would be great to be shown modified versions of various exercises - especially if mobility issues plays a factor. I would also appreciate posture correction or assistance in getting into the correct posture for certain exercises I'm less confident in or not quite sure how to perform properly. Beyond that, I truly like this studio. I am looking forward to going to more and more classes here because they offer such a great variety of classes.

I took my first class with Trisha, who greeted me at the front desk, showed me around the studio, and explained how the mini reformer machine worked. She was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I even had a cute little welcome note on my machine! I had never heard of Lagree Pilates before but I wanted to give it a shot and I really enjoyed it. The workout was tough but felt sooo good, and there are options for levels of modifications. I especially loved the incorporation of mindfulness and the guided meditation (optional) at the end of class.

Copying my Google review from about a year ago here…read more. Great clean, well-maintained and friendly environment. Great play spaces. Heads up for TheClubs.com members... For some reason (buyout/takeover?) they are no longer associated with TheClubs.com, so a membership from one of the other Clubs is no longer honored here; a local daily pass or 6 month membership is required. The staff doesn't know why they are no longer affiliated. They just have a notice behind the desk telling them that none of the other Clubs' memberships are honored anymore. They did credit our daily pass fee toward a 6--month membership (4 visits gives you a full ROI). Curiously, their membership cards still use The Clubs logo and they still have TheClubs.com website on their homepage, even though they are no longer part of it. They are in need of some website cleanup.

Wound up canceling and moving on to other big box corporate gyms shortly before the previous owners closed with no notice. From what I understand, they had a couple of more owners after that.. both of which let the gym slide downhill a bit.

Talking to one of the front desk employees, he said, "they Purchased over $60,000 of new equipment and kilogram/powerlifting weights." They also have hand sanitizing stations/towels to wipe down all the equipment after you're done using which is great! Especially post-pandemic I've made it a point to support LOCALLY owned businesses and this is def one of the best gyms in Otown! In addition as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I can say they've always been welcoming to myself and any guests that I've brought with me for a day pass.

The workouts are fire! You don't realize how hard you're working when you are literally moving in inch increments. The instructors are incredibly helpful with your form, so you constantly get the best workout, leading to the best results. Night and day difference. I absolutely love this studio; I love these girls and love this community! If you are looking for something new, looking to be challenged, a new community of uplifting, powerful individuals, then look no further. You already found it. I am not going to lie; these classes are not easy, but you can do it, and no one wants an "easy" workout. People of all ages and all sizes take these classes. We may be at different levels of our workouts, but everyone is 100% capable of doing PB. The magic is in the small, tiny, INCH (literally an inch, think of a ruler, an INCH) movements. The way you build muscle and core strength overtime is insane! I can't explain it; you just have to do it. Each class is different than the day before keeping classes exciting and not burned out. Each class is about 50 mins long and I promise, you will be 'inching' for more, later. If you read this entire review, just take a class. I know you're hooked :)

I started at Pure Barre in December. There were a few discrepancies but nothing that couldn't be…read moreovercome with patience. Like hearing the instructor over the music, understanding how to transition into certain moves, and of course not know that Black Barre Challenge can only be completed if you completed it every month of the whole year. To start with they have something called a "Foundations" class. The goal is teach you the basics done throughout a "Classic" Barre class. Im assuming also that you should have an idea of their infamous position "the tuck" somewhat down by the time you leave. There is a tour and you should leave with a basic understanding of Pure Barre is about. At this class they should probably go over in depth the "Black Barre Challenge". I didn't know about this until I was two months into the studio. I left the class thinking that was simple but I knew they advertised as a gym that is "high intensity, with low impact". Low impact was essential since I am still healing from a spinal injury. Here lies the issue there are tons of bending and twisting motions that have to completed during classes. Which consist of: Classic: Basic Total Body Workout Empower: All about the Cardio Reform: All the Resistance Feels I was getting discouraged because I wasn't feeling a lot of the moves at the bar because I couldn't bend far. Therefore I was happy after talking to my Orthopedic surgeon about the difficulties I was facing. He explained its because I haven't been rehabilitated fully yet. After physical therapy I will be ready to go and could start rebuilding my core with Barre! Happy to hear the news because I specifically went on a monthly membership which I was told I "COULD CANCEL AT ANYTIME". BTW when you sign the documentation it's all on their computer so DO NOT take the representatives word on explaining how the membership works. It's a 31 day process. You will be out of a months dues. To give you an idea if their membership is 169.00. When I first called to email their emails came back with delivery issues and now than there is just a game of phone tag back and forth. Today the pulled for the FULL amount of dues after playing phone tag back and forth the past three weeks. In all honesty I'm just so disappointed with this studio. I would've returned after six weeks of PT had they just cared about their customers enough to call or email us back.

What can I say! I love Project 7 Yoga!…read more I have been coming to this studio on and off for years (starting back in 2018-ish). During the earlier stages of my time coming here, I'd usually only go to their Yin / Deep Stretch classes because I had a pretty solid work-out regime outside of yoga. So, the deep stretching was a great balance to my primarily cardio-based routine. It was not until last year, that I fully committed to a membership and it's been the best decision I have ever made. Though I am not a complete novice to the practice of yoga (as I have been doing it on and off with no real consistency since middle school when it was recommended as physical therapy to me by my doctor), I am a novice to being consistent with my practice of yoga. Signing up for a membership, has been the game changer. The instructors are amazing. Patient yet encouraging. They take the time to learn your face (and name) which just makes attending the studio feel that just more like a supportive friend group. Though, they offer primarily heat based classes, do not FEAR it. The heat is bearable. It's almost as if with each passing move you are sweating out the negative energy of the day, toxins, and any bad vibes you may have had following you that day. You leave feeling refreshed, inspired and deeply proud of yourself for showing up for YOU. Needless to say, I am a total fan of this studio. The space is clean and there is ample parking. They offer great membership packages as well as reasonable drop-in class prices. They also host various restorative events like crystal bowl meditations. And if yoga is your calling, fret not, because you can also go through instructor training under their tutelage. I say all that to finally say, if you have not been, I definitely recommend giving this studio a go! You won't regret it! Peace & Love. Namaste.

5 Stars for a unique yoga studio run collectively by teachers who volunteer their services to…read morecreate a special community of yogis! I was so excited to hear that Firefly Yoga would be coming back to Downtown Orlando. They used to have a studio next to The Sanctum, then opened their second studio in Ocoee, and eventually focussed solely on the Ocoee studio for a few years. When I heard they were returning, I was blown away by their new model. A passionate group of yoga instructors banded together to create The Collective, where they volunteer to teach classes. With this model, the money they collect goes straight to rental of the space (and tea, if they ever make more than they need to keep the studio open). This means that the prices are some of the lowest in Orlando. The drop-in rate is $8 (WUT.) and unlimited yoga is $60/month (will increase to $70/month for new members starting in June '19). This is absurdly low and only makes sense because this is less of a business and more of a passion project to bring Firefly back to Orlando. Right now, the schedule is as follows (taken from their website): MONDAY 10am all-levels Flow | 7pm all-levels Flow TUESDAY 6am Power | 6:30pm find a Firefly teacher at East End Market for an all-levels flow class that is donation-based WEDNESDAY 12pm all-levels Flow | 6:30pm Ashtanga-Inspired | 7:45pm YIN THURSDAY 5:30-7:30am Open Practice* | 4:30pm Ashtanga-Inspired | 6:30pm Ashtanga-Inspired FRIDAY 6:30pm all-levels Flow SATURDAY 11am Wild Card (teachers will rotate each week, so come for a surprise of personality and style!) I would always check their website because classes are occasionally canceled when COAL (the space within which Firefly is located) is booked for a special event. Parking is on-street and behind the building (plentiful), and the location is conveniently right across from Dandelion (TAKE ALL OF MY MONEYYYY). So excited to be a member and love the classes so far!

I have to agree wholeheartedly with all of the reviews here. FFC is by far the best fitness studio…read morein the Orlando area. This place is really just a cut above every other gym I've ever been to- though it's almost unfair to compare it with any other place because the model is so different. FFC offers one-on-one and small group personal training, that's it. There are no drop-ins or self-directed exercises where you mindlessly use a cardio or weight machine, etc. All of the trainers are friendly, supportive and unintimidating (yeah even you, Wayne!) I started out obese and desperately needed structure, discipline and support. I found all of that and more in my trainer, Travis Sillery. He showed me the patience and encouragement I needed, kept me motivated, challenged my ability, believed in me and always made the workouts fun. I actually looked forward to each visit! I'm not gonna lie, there were times I was pushed to my limits, but I loved it. Travis isn't just another trainer, he is is truly a caring person who will become a friend. Not only does he educate his clients during workouts, but he really lives what he teaches! His positive attitude will permeate your entire outlook and will live on far beyond each personalized training session. Travis quite literally changed my life. Today, I am in the best shape I have ever been in and finally fall into the normal weight category. There is still some room for improvement, but I couldn't have made it this far without him. (THANK YOU!) I only left FFC as a client because I moved out of the state, but had I been able to take Travis and everyone else with me, I would have! If you are serious about getting in shape, check out Travis and FFC! Travis's rate is VERY reasonable, and he will help you succeed! Trust me, you won't regret it!

Better late than never…read more.. I was a client of FFC last year for about 3-4 months and the only reason I stopped going was because I moved across the country. Great studio space, all the equipment you could ever want, cozy but not cramped, and everyone is so darn friendly. You can really tell that the trainers love what they're doing! My go-to guy was Jarret. I can't say enough good things about him! He always made our sessions fun (even though I secretly think he was trying to kill me!), pricing was very reasonable and he was super flexible to accommodate my ridiculous schedule. Jarret is the BEST. TRAINER. EVER. He helped me lose almost 25 lbs and, more importantly, feel better than I'd ever felt! I haven't been able to find anyone who compares out here in California. Booooo! When I win the lotto I'm going to pay him to move to the west coast and hire him to be my PERSONAL personal trainer! lol
