The heated classes really help to warm up the muscles & get a good work out. The studio is a Baptiste affiliate studio, which means vinyasa classes are taught in the Baptiste Power Yoga style. Power yoga tends to have a faster led pace so it would probably be a good idea for beginners to let the teacher know you are learning (or clueless - which is ok!!) before class starts. They're there to guide. It's always nice when there's an extra teacher in class to help assist, especially during the busy early morning or after work classes. The space is beautifully kept, clean, and open. The Evolution community as a whole, from the teachers to the Karmi support staff to the folks who come in to practice, all are welcoming, supportive, & friendly. I always feel at home when I am at EPY.

No Pink Dumbbells boot camp at Body & Soul Fitness Studio has been a great find for me. After…read moremoving to Lancaster from D.C., I was looking for something to replace a great boot camp I had gone to in the past to get in shape for my wedding. No gyms in the area seemed to have what I was looking for, or they were way too expensive. I am someone who finds it hard to get motivated to work out regularly, and even if I do manage to drag myself onto the treadmill, I don't push myself as hard as I should. As for strength training, forget it-- I was way too clueless and intimidated to get into an effective routine on my own. Enter Mickey and No Pink Dumbbells boot camp. This is the first time I have ever looked forward to working out. I am seeing great results, but I like that the emphasis is on being able to do more during the workouts and feeling healthier and stronger, not on losing weight. The other people there are all shapes and sizes with varying fitness levels, and although I feel a healthy competition because I'm a competitive person, Mickey reminds us to compete only with ourselves and to challenge ourselves. I really like that. The group atmosphere is friendly and supportive, but folks are there to work up a good sweat. It's a perfect balance. The workouts are intense, which I love because I always leave feeling accomplished, but they are easily tailored to individual needs. Honestly, this is the first time I have ever stuck with a workout routine so consistently. So glad I found No Pink Dumbbells. --Member since 2013

This class fits all ages and sizes and we bond as a group. I've never been bored once because it's never the same. Mickey puts a ton of time and effort into her program. She inspires and encourages us to work harder and not to give up. And here I still am a much happier and more self-confident person. I love that my son told me one day "mom you can tell that you workout, look at your arms!" If you dedicate yourself to this program your body and soul will love you!

My family and I have used several of this YMCA's services and have had an excellent experience with…read moreeach one. We started out just with the regular gym membership, which includes access to the indoor pool and a variety of free classes they offer, including Zumba, HIT, spin, and a few different levels of yoga. The machines have always been clean and in good functioning order in my experience, and I was especially excited to see they added a Jacob's Ladder to their line up of equipment. There's a semi private weights area, which helps keep the lifters away from the treadmills and ellipticals, and there's also a small dimly lit space for anyone looking to do some yoga or meditating on their own. The pool is used by local swim teams and ocassional lessons or aqua zumba, so be mindful of the location's posted schedule (online or at the front desk when you come in) before making plans to visit. Nothing more disappointing than wanting to do laps, only to find the space has been reserved for other activities. After those large activities, the shower rooms sometimes leave a little to be desired, but for the most part, they're decent. We were so impressed with the facilities, that we quickly extended our membership to include the outdoor pool, which is large and offers a variety of options for families -- there's a kiddie wading pool with neat features for little ones, a shallow area for new swimmers, a fun slide, diving boards, and a very large swimming area, usually with at least one lap lane roped off. There's limited food at the concession window (temper your expectations there), but they're OK with you bringing in your own food and snacks. We've even had pizza delivered on the nice days when we decided to stick around past lunch or dinner. My daughter has also participated in youth soccer and basketball teams here. The soccer fields are abundant, and the one that our group always used was in good shape. The basketball area is often split in two to accommodate large classes (like Zumba), but during basketball, they opened the full court up for the kids. It's a decent space, and I appreciate both the court-side bleacher seating they provide as well as the large windows so that parents can watch from the hallway. For the past two summers we've used the YMCA as a summer camp, and my daughter enjoys their activities and field trips. I appreciate that they get to swim every week and spend the majority of their time outside. Pricing is comparable to other summer programs and day cares we've used in the area. Just recently I've started working with one of the YMCA's trainers, and have been really pleased with my experience. They paired me up with an excellent instructor, Desi, who has worked with me to help strengthen my core and balance. She's introduced me to a bunch of different exercises, taught me to use a variety of tools (ball, bands, step-up boxes), and has personalized each session so I have a new routine and new things to work on every week. All around my schedule! All this and I didn't even mention the roller hockey ring, kids playground, on-site child care center, kids play room, or walking path that cuts through the property. This YMCA location really has a lot to offer local families and individuals!

Since COVID, they have marked off spots with plenty of space between myself and other clients. Everyone is really respectful of each other's spaces even in the lobby area. The instructor takes everyone's temperature as they enter the studio every class. All of the instructors I had while in town were super friendly! I really enjoyed my classes with Laura. If you have the opportunity, definitely check her out! She is constantly attending to all of the clients while teaching class. She makes sure you have the proper form, working the correct muscles, and then pushes you past your comfort zone to help get the most out of your workout. I had her for most of my classes in town and I never had 2 classes that were exactly the same! I really appreciated this!
