They create a very welcoming, inclusive space where I have never felt judged or less than. I have always felt safe under their instruction, knowing that they may challenge me, but that they would never push me to injury. They normalize and encourage the use of props, modifications, etc, allowing everyone to explore each pose in their body without forcing it or feeling discouraged. I have also had several work related injuries during my time at NTY, and the instructors have always helped me to modify my practice, without making me feel like the center of attention. This community is truly one of the best I have ever encountered! I have always loved yoga, and have attended many classes at different studios over the years. As a plus sized person, I often felt intimidated, judged, and self conscious at these other studios. At NTY I felt immediately welcomed, safe, and comfortable. They offer different types of classes, so that you can pick the best fit for your personal goals. There are people at all levels present in each class, and I have never once felt like I didn't belong. If you are at all like me, maybe trying yoga for the first time, or feeling unsure in a new fitness environment, this is the place for you! Looking to take your fitness goals to the next level, or improve your flexibility without hurting yourself? You are welcome here! Maybe you are trying to incorporate more mindfulness into your fitness routine, or maybe you just want a place to relax for an hour? This is the place! I can't say enough about how NTY has improved my mental and physical wellbeing. My life is forever changed for the better by my time here. So come take a class! You won't regret it, and maybe I will see you there! We are happy to have you!

Not gonna lie, I struggled in the last 20 minutes of the class but when we were given a cold, essential oil-infused towel at the end, I felt like it made it all worth it. I appreciated that throughout the whole session we were told different modifications we could do and I felt very at ease. The facility itself is right next to a great coffee shop I worked at before the class and the parking lot has plenty of parking spots. Inside there were showers, lockers to put away personal items, and all the yoga essentials like mats, towels, and yoga blocks. Also went to my first sound bath and it was great - the owner was very sweet and really cares about each person that comes to the studio. Highly recommend checking out a class and/or sound bath!

I was fortunate to have a chance to visit with Ruth and Tina when I arrived. Their vision is exciting! If you have a chance, arrive early so they can share with you their wonderful ideas. Ruth and Tina spared no expense on designing a studio that is very warm and inviting. I did my first vigorous class with Rebekah on October 5th 2022. Rebekah is a fun and very knowledgeable instructor. I love the way she builds on the flow. Allowing your body to warm up before breaking into more difficult poses. Rebekah is also excellent with counter poses which are very important when practicing yoga. Her class was a vinyasa with a few "circus tricks" lots of twists and balancing . Shala yoga loft is now my favorite thing to do on Wednesday at noon. ----- It's now 2023, and I'm now a member at Shala yoga loft. In October of 2022 I purchased a $40 two week unlimited, and I'm so glad I did! It allowed me to try all the different classes which helped me decide if Shala was the place for me. I now go to as many classes as I'm physically able to go to. I love the variety of classes that are offered and the uniqueness of each of the instructors. I honestly believe that Shala's yoga instructors are the best. They are all very kind and extremely knowledgeable. I also LOVE the choice of chilled or heated lavender towel at the end.

Now that she's a teenager, and I'm turning 40, I'm getting back into it and so glad that I found Horizon. Not only are their facilities nice and clean, but the owners and all the teachers / staff are endlessly kind and supportive. I love the classes, always feel incredible after, and have got my friend hooked too so I have a buddy to go with! We book classes on the MindBody app which makes it easy to make sure we have a spot, and I love that I can rinse off in the shower before I hop in the car. If you're interested in hot yoga, this is absolutely the perfect studio to start off, get back into it, or continue a practice if you're already a full blown yogi. So grateful I found them!

When providing this feedback, I was asked if I'd want someone coming into class 2-3 minutes late…read moreand my answer to that is: Yes, because I understand. Because I'm a parent to an 8 month old that I had to hire childcare for just to make this class and I drove from 30 minutes away in ice and slush. But that doesn't matter because it's not my business. What does matter is that I was told there was a 5 minute grace period. Now that I know that there is not, I know that YogaSix does not work for me. Extreme rigidity does not fit in with my life right now. Which is a decision I could've made before spending $300 on a class pack. My hope is that this review provides someone else the transparency i wanted for myself. update in response to management's response: your reply insinuates that we've spoken about more than one incident and that i was late it by more than 5 minutes. was that your intention? the facts are: i have taken 7 classes and was late once. and on that day, i arrived at 12:03 (3 minutes late) and was not allowed entry. why not check the cameras to confirm? that contradicts your statements upon sign up and in your response that you have a 5 minute grace period. i'm also not the only review to mention this and you seem to be defensive in receiving feedback instead of looking at it as an opportunity for growth.

Earlier in the week I went to Katie's 5:30 AM vinyasa class! Be aware if you arrive right on time early mornings the door may be locked, it seems to be an automatic feature since no one was checking people in the lobby. Katie saw me and immediately let me and another girl in. The yoga studio is smaller than I'm used to but it made for an intimate session and Katie was able to quickly make adjustments. She is pretty hands on, which as a local fellow fitness instructor I am very used to. But it may be something you mention if you are not keen on people touching you. Proper alignment is important to me in yoga, especially a faster paced class, and honestly this has been very healing for me after years of running my body into the ground with ultramarathon and endurance racing. But since I've been training for a fall trail race (!) I am getting back into my namaste practice. They have other amazing things there as well as Pilates and reformer looking machines. They are also on Class Pass so I will be dropping back in to visit.

I think the studio owner is very knowledgeable and grounded in providing a highly principled and safe space for everyone. I have had minor strains and postural issues for a while now that are finally improving and virtually asymptomatic after a few months of one on one private lessons. Other pilates and fitness category studios can be very high energy and are mostly a lot of fun, but they don't offer much individual feedback or correction, and discomfort from old strains or poor posture tends to get worse without someone who knows what they're doing look out for you. Monthly memberships and barre, yoga, etc are also offered here which is a great plus for when your wellness attention span is in need of variety. I've been here off and on now for over 2 years, and it's been absolutely worthwhile. Lela might be the most cheerful front desk staff I get to run into all the time lol. But in general also, everyone here is great.

I have a membership and I don't get to use it often but when I do, it's worth every penny and I truly enjoy that. It's not ever crowded. Not ever packed everything. We need to have a good workout. The bathrooms are nice and clean I especially love that one of the bathrooms has a shower. And if you forget your supplies as a rental vending machine, which I think is pretty cool I like this location is over 24 hours and you can always come in and get a workout. I have used the weight system and it's nice and effective and gets the job done. My absolute favorite part whatever pay the little towels that have essential oils in them for after a workout. Parking is sufficient and I have never had a complaint. The only thing that I hate is it right next-door to Crumbl cookie. Lol the temptation is real. I can't think of anything that would make this location better so for that I'm leaving a five star review. Thank you for your customer service and commitment to physical health.

Extremely disappointing experience at HOTWORX McKinney (University location). I've been charged…read moremultiple times without any notification, reminder, or communication, and every time I've had to deal with the same response: once the money is taken, there's supposedly nothing they can do because they "don't refund." I canceled my membership in February after already attempting to cancel it previously. I was under the impression that it had been canceled, only to find out months later that the previous employee apparently put my account on a pause until September instead of actually canceling it. seven months later, I was charged again. I live over an hour away from this location, and hadn't received any communication about since May. Mind you, I did try to work with them, maybe move to a location near me, so I could use the month that they charged me for, but according that wouldn't work unless I upgraded my membership.... The other solution they offered? A free month at their location. I don't want an "additional month" and like how will that fix anything when I literally live over an hour away. That's literally over two hours of driving plus gas for a 15-30 minute workout. How is extending a membership to a location I'm not near, supposed to fix the problem? The customer service throughout this situation has been just as disappointing. The employee spoke to me in a very sarcastic and dismissive tone while I was trying to resolve the issue. When I called to cancel again, she said, "It's canceled, have a good day, bye!". I was literally still trying to speak to her to make sure I would get a confirmation email of the cancellation, but couldn't even ask because she end the phone call. I called back the next day and was told that I would be hearing from the owner through text regarding the situation. I never received that text. I never spoke with the owner. I was also told, essentially, that they could ask the owner about a refund but that she "probably wasn't going to refund me." If you're going to ask the owner, then ask the owner. Don't tell the customer what the answer is going to be before the conversation even happens. At that point, I had no choice but to let my bank handle the situation. And thankfully I did, because tell me why, after ALL of this, HOTWORX Mckinney attempted to charge me AGAIN today.‍ I have already tried to cancel. I have spoken with the employees. I was told the account was canceled. I was promised follow-up from the owner that never happened. And somehow, I'm still being charged. HOTWORX markets itself around health, wellness, and caring about its members, but my experience has shown me that they don't seem to care much about you as a customer once there's a problem. If they genuinely cared about their customers, a situation like this should have been a simple customer-service issue to resolve. As a business owner myself, I would never let my customers have an experience like this. And mind you, I still never received a confirmation email for my cancellation. And they are still trying to charge me, so I guess it still not actually canceled. Who knows at this point. I'm completely over it. I will not be going back to this location, and I'm not going to say not to go to Hotworx because I know one of the instructors and the workouts are great, but THIS location I would not recommend. If you're considering joining, please make sure you understand exactly how cancellations, pauses, reactivations, and automatic billing work and get EVERYTHING in writing. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this location. Uh
