As a disclaimer, I was a big fan of barre workouts before ever coming to this studio. That being said, this barre studio is def one of my top faves. What I like: - Staff is always super welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Very supportive to first timers and veterans alike. - Incredible workout (barre is by far my favorite way to workout). - Various class formats and class lengths to choose from. I also appreciate that they offer multiple classes at different times each day. - Uncrowded classes. Always plenty of space to stretch out, even during busy classes.

Since working out at FIT for about a year I finally reached my weight loss goal that I've had for 5+ years. Unfortunately, Christmas got the best of me and I gained a little back but I'm back in the saddle and doing one of there challenges.

It did not really focus on the postures of yoga. If you want something quick, louder music, high energy instructor there is a class for that.

The quick feet movement on the yoga mats gave me a blister on the bottom of my big toe, but I could feel the workout for a couple days after. You are greeted when you walk in, you check in and get a mat or towel if you forgot yours. You can kick your shoes off or make your way down the hall to the changing/shower/bathroom. There is lockers,but you'll need your own lock. Then you make your way to the smaller room built for your class. Its was aimed to be hot, but just a mere 92 degrees. I had a few moments to enjoy the sauna room before we starting moving. Then it was all downhill. I dont know how you are to workout, sweat, and not loose your grip on the slick, sweaty yoga mat as you jump up and down and lift weights and move your butt off I felt good after the long class.
