I took a free first time class here last week. I usually frequent YogaSix but thought I'd try…read moresomething new. Everything in the studio just felt dingy and dirty. The instructor was nice and upbeat. Gave MANY hands on corrections which was appreciated but a bit uncomfortable at times. I did not know she would be touching places such as my chest and butt. Usually in my yoga classes we are asked if we are comfortable being touched and given corrections. However that was not communicated at this studio and the hands on nature was immediate and a bit uncomfortable for someone who was not prepared for it. Especially in more private areas such as the butt. Class was great- very hard and may be tough for beginners. Overall I do not think I will return given the price and the atmosphere.

Disappointing because this was supposed to be my first class. Safe to say I won't be back! I drove 30 minutes to get here and the front desk lady who was there 8/21 was incredibly rude about it.

My daughter has some ballet experience and I have NO ballet experience but we both get in a really good work out. Emily combines ballet, cardio, stretching and some strength training to get a full body workout. She provides weights, yoga mats and bands. We bring our own yoga mats and weights. She offers a class on Saturday and Wednesday mornings. If you RSVP and reply to her Fusion Barre with Emily Facebook page, you get a discount. I like the music that she chooses for the work outs and I also like that her work outs are not always the same. It's a fun work out that always makes you feel good the next couple of days because your muscles feel sore...but in a good way! I highly recommend this class!

It makes the experience feel very personal and almost like a private session. Highly recommend!

I was interested in joining their group Pilates classes, but I was told that I first had to…read morecomplete three private sessions, so I purchased a package of three sessions for about $200. I was actually really excited because I had always wanted to try Pilates. Unfortunately, my experience with the instructor was very disappointing. During my first session, she repeatedly made comments like, "You can't do that," "Your posture isn't good," and "Just try to do it like me." Since it was my first time doing Pilates, I expected more guidance, patience, and encouragement. Instead, I felt discouraged and uncomfortable throughout the session. I went back for the second session only because I had already paid for the package, but unfortunately, the experience was even worse. I felt uncomfortable for the entire hour and did not feel supported or encouraged at all. I still had one session left, but I ended up canceling it because I didn't want to put myself through another uncomfortable experience. I understand that she needed to correct posture and technique, but I think there is a big difference between giving constructive feedback and making a beginner feel discouraged. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed how excited I felt about trying Pilates.

They do fill up the entire class so the instructor isn't demonstrating how to do the moves, but she does walk around and correct form/help you transition. I appreciated this class was so much more focused on making sure you nail the basics because too many trendy studios try to "push" students do harder moves than their core is ready for. I already weight lift so I like Pilates to help me recover and practice good form (especially because I'm prone to not engage my core enough when I lift!). I'm sure their non beginner class is more challenging, but this was a perfect, restorative Saturday morning work out. I also liked the intro course because there were students from all age groups and no pretentious vibe that I've had at other studios where students judge if you're in aesthetic clothes or not (people ranged from cute fits to comfy gym clothes so you can totally do both here). Looking forward to coming back whenever I need a good recovery stretch and to perfect my core strength!
