I really appreciated her telling me about the socks instead of me having to buy them at the studio. She was very helpful. The instructor Taylor L did a great job and asked me about my injuries prior to class. She had excellent accommodations and remember what I told her prior to class. As a former fitness instructor(and someone who used to hire them) she is an excellent instructor. Her explanations were clear, the class flowed well, and she provided multiple options. I also liked the number of participants in the class. Sometimes it feels so crowded but I feel this studio has the right number of participants. If I lived closer I would buy a membership here. I would 100% pay for another class if I'm in town

I am reluctant to make this review because I don't want the classes to be so full, but honestly…read morethis place deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Nestled by the Wheaton train station (where they have a French market every Saturday), this small studio is impressive. I've been going to tribalance for some time, but found this studio that's closer to me and more my vibe. I used to practice Bikram (before the scandal) in Cali and this place has that cool Cali/city vibe. It's immaculately clean and the showers have such good water pressure. The classes are what you expect them to be, HOT, intense, and oh so rewarding. My joints and back always feel phenomenal after class. And the staff are so warm and friendly. Shout out to Becky and Agata for their continued support in my yoga journey. Pro tip: On Saturdays (while the French market is open), give yourself a half an hour extra from the time you usually leave your home as parking can be challenging, and you don't want to be late. Though I've always found parking, it did take more time.

Debbie (who turned out to be one of the owners) was the instructor. The class was great. Debbie gave tips to modify poses for more and less difficult variations which I find VERY helpful. She had a calming and pleasant demeanor. After class she said that maybe I should try traditional yoga (Next's version of bikram) since she felt it would suit me better. She was right!!!! I've been going twice a wwek to the Wheaton location and love it! Casey and Sarah are fabulous instructors. If you are thinking about returning to yoga or trying it, you will not be disappointed by Next. It is a great place!

If you want to work on weight loss, getting in shape or even train to be a professional body builder Nilsa is your key to success...and of course YOUR HARD WORK! Losing weight is not easy folks, there is no magic pill, no QUICK way to get to your goal! Come in, like I did, overweight and I'm desperate need of a transformation. Change your diet, Nilsa can provide you with a specific training session built specifically for you with planned meals that you can make once a week to eat as the week goes on. Food is really our enemy out there folks...along with sugar and salt! It is too easy these days to eat poorly and guess what...that is at least 70% of your journey! Throw in working out 6 days a week, some cardio each day and the right diet and you will have the keys to the size you want to be! This IS NOT A SHORT OR QUICK JOURNEY!!! Do not have expectations that are not possible to meet! When you start a program look at it the terms of AFTER 12 MONTHS where will you be. I said it right, after 313 days(I took out your days off) is what you want to put in your mind. The people at this gym are amazing. There are some actual body builders here...I am, cough cough, not one of them but I serve H2O better than Bobby Boucher Jr! They will talk to you and encourage you when they see that you are consistent in your commitment. They have helped me already and folks I am not much more than a month into my transformation. Am I where I want to be..no way. Do I see improvement? Hell yes I do, I already lost a full pants size. It is your health, your life and your future. Stop thinking about it, call Nilsa and get your ass in here! You will truly thank yourself for the person that you have become when you get to your goal...and on the way to your goal is actually pretty freaking sweet too!

I have been taking Agnes classes for 2 years ( took a break while pregnant ) and started back up a month post partum. In the beginner class, you can take it easy as you need if you're starting out and gradually add more to challenging yourself. She changes up her flow and class every week, so you are consistently working different areas of the body. I took yoga classes at random and used to feel it a slow boring waste of time more or less a relaxing class that does "stretching". I love to lift and do intense endurance cardio. It wasn't until going here consistently that I was blown away with the fitness aspect of yoga- the strength/flexibility/core stability/etc. involved. You will be challenged more than you possibly think and I promise the health benefits, both mentally and physically, will surprise you! I highly recommend Melt and the classes here. Side note: The owner rocks.

So, it's practically two months. In my case I had conflicts and extended travel that quickly changed my ability to attend. I went a total of five times and cancelled and the total bill was $594. They refused to allow any credit for my circumstances. I reluctantly agreed to pay what was contractually due, but when I asked for my credit card information to be erased they actually became quite rude and belligerent, hanging up. I'm very disappointed and can't recommend their services.
