I found them through ClassPass and noticed on their website that first-time clients are required to take the Luxe Fundamentals class, which I appreciated since it helped me get familiar with the studio and teaching style. I already had my own grip socks, but they do have grip socks available for purchase if needed. The studio itself is spacious, bright, and filled with natural light. They have eight custom Balanced Body reformers that felt incredibly comfortable to use. The reformers are slightly longer than standard ones, which was my personal preference. I'm sure others would like this as well! The layout is thoughtfully designed and never felt crowded, even during class. I also caught a glimpse of one of their private rooms, which looked lovely. I took Luxe Fundamentals with Myra, and she was fantastic. She incorporated a 10-pound Pilates circle into the workout, making it a surprisingly challenging full-body class while still offering modifications for those with back pain or other limitations. What stood out most was how she took the time to learn everyone's names, which made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The music was upbeat without being distracting, and Myra's instructions were easy to hear throughout class. There's a small bench near the entrance for personal belongings, though I would have appreciated a bit more space for bags and other items. One thing to keep in mind is parking. The lot is fairly small, so I would definitely recommend arriving early to secure a spot and settle in before class. Overall, I had a great first experience and can see why people love this studio. I'll definitely be back.

I already work out regularly and primarily do weight training, but this class challenged me in a completely different way. It was a fantastic workout! I'm definitely feeling it today (in the best way ), so be prepared to be sore afterward. The class was 45 minutes long, and honestly, it flew by. The energy stayed high the entire time, and the trainer kept everyone motivated and engaged. I had a lot of fun and would absolutely come back for another class in the future. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, challenging workout with great instructors!

It is very sleek and clean with mirrors along the side to check your form. As for the instructors and class levels, they provide clear instructions and watches the client's form. However, the classes are not that challenging. All the classes are labeled the same so it is unknown whether the instructor is teaching and intro class or advanced class. I am looking forward to the grand opening.

I was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and beginner-friendly the studio was. Lagree seemed intimidating at first, but that feeling disappeared after my very first class. Since then, I've been coming regularly and have taken classes with Stephanie and Jenny as well. Every instructor I've had has been knowledgeable, encouraging, and attentive. They take the time to provide form corrections and hands-on adjustments to help prevent injury, while also offering modifications for different fitness levels. There is never any pressure to keep up with anyone else, and you're encouraged to work at your own pace. The studio is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully maintained. I also love that the classes include people with a wide range of experience, from beginners to seasoned members. It creates an environment that feels welcoming, supportive, and never intimidating. I've enjoyed my experience so much that I signed up for a membership and have happily made Lagree part of my weekly routine. One of my favorite touches is the cold eucalyptus towels handed out after class. After a challenging workout, they are incredibly refreshing and such a thoughtful way to end each session. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to refresh the music playlists from time to time, although I know that probably varies by instructor. Overall, I couldn't be happier that I found Elevé Lagree Studio. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who has been interested in trying Lagree, especially if you're feeling a little intimidated by it.

It's definitely not as easy as it looks, but that's what makes it so addictive. The burn is real, and I started noticing results much sooner than I expected. I honestly can't wait to come back every week. This has officially become my new obsession!

There are a total of seven reformers, signing up for class is super easy and straight forward on their website. There are several different class packs you can buy if you don't want to commit to a membership. I parked at the Schoolhouse parking garage on Green St. $1 for up to two hours and it was only about a three minute walk to the studio. Quick, safe and convenient. I had Sheri as my instructor. Even though it was an intro class, we had a mixture of people with all different levels. Sheri was awesome to give different options to those who are more advanced or simply those who would like a challenge. If you're thinking of taking your first reformers class, don't be intimated because your instructor will go over each functionality/part of the machine. One of the things I look out for when determining how much I'll enjoy the class is whether or not an instructor will be hands-on in correcting your form. Like yes, please correct me so I will know what's the correct way moving forward. So thank you Sheri for being hands-on. I was back home for the holiday season and I'm glad Yelp helped me discover this studio.

Christina was our instructor, and she did a great job explaining the MegaPro and making everyone feel comfortable. She was encouraging and challenging at the same time. Layla, also an instructor did the class alongside us, demonstrating the movements so we can follow. My first time friends felt completely at ease, which I really appreciated. At the end of class, Aaron brought our cooling towels for us to freshen up-such a thoughtful gesture. Plenty of parking in the lot. Their sign is not up yet, but they are located between Baja Fresh and Golf Galaxy. Amazing service, beautiful setup and friendly people! Love this new studio!

They're open daily - Mon to Fri - 5am-11am & 3pm-9pm - Sat & Sun - 8am-11am & 2pm-6pm Parking was easy since they're plenty of parking! Booking is so easy since there's online booking. Definitely recommend taking advantage of their deals currently! - $17 intro class - $29 - class & socks - $25 - class & smoothie The receptionist, Aaron was so friendly and welcoming. So impressed that he does front desk and runs the entire place on his own! Really enjoy that they didn't cancel my booking this and last time since I was the only one enrolled on Sat for the 2pm class! Love how spacious and clean the studio is, as well as the cubbies in the back for my belongings. Also, really enjoy the newly opened cafe that offers refreshing smoothies for $11 and complimentary matcha yuzu shot before every class! Took Mikhaela's class both times and she was very patient and friendly with me. I love how her classes are always fun and challenging. I love her enthusiasm and how she always pushes me. Her cues are so helpful and love the tempo of her class. I never feel like I'm having trouble keeping up because she's always so accommodating. Really enjoy how supportive and encouraging she is! Definitely recommend taking her class! She's the best! After class, Aaron gave me a refreshingly cold towel, which was much needed since I worked out a sweat! Aaron was so nice and provided me with 2 samples of the smoothies since I was so indecisive. - Tropikale was very refreshing and tarty. It consisted of kale, pineapple, apple, oat milk, coconut water, lime, and honey. Really enjoyed how it wasn't too sweet and how fruity it was! - House Protein Smoothie consisted of whey, dates, oats, chia seeds, vanilla, and banana. It tasted very nutritious and was slightly thick in consistency. It reminded me of a healthy version of a cookies n cream milkshake. It wasn't too sweet and it was very delicious! Definitely recommend! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely recommend and return!

Wow I should've read my own review from 2 years ago because I came back to try Jing yoga again and…read moreI really regret it. Why it was bad: 1. The location has MOVED. Yelp and Classpass addresses are out of date. I went to the old location and the signage was gone, no one was there, and when I called, she told me the new address 2. The new location SUCKS. It's old, dirty looking, messy, there's equipment everywhere, and the sound system is bad 3. The instructor really hasn't grown out of her habit of barking orders. I really don't like that style of teaching - especially when I'm looking for a peaceful yoga class. 4. My yoga class felt more like cardio yoga / mat pilates because of how intense it was. There was no warming up your muscles, you just go straight from pose to pose and it was not fun at all 5. The instructor made no attempt to say hi, introduce herself, get to know me/my body/my injuries at all. Even when class ended, everyone just left without saying bye. Class size was only 3 other students.
