This is based on a three day visit to Traverse City, and I also went to the studio five separate…read moretimes! This is a lovely studio with multiple options of classes, friendly staff members, nice selection of clothing and accessories, plus a cute lounge area to sit and drink tea or eat a snack.
This studio has a Weekender Pass for $50, which allows a person to attend unlimited classes for three days, sold! I went to five classes, so that's a good deal! Otherwise, $5 for first class, or $20 drop in. Prices are similar to other studios.
The staff members are so friendly and helpful. Each class I went to, except one, the instructor introduced him/herself and asked questions, discussed the class, offered assistance, etc. I have been to numerous studios across the US, and this does not always happen, but should. Also, as I talked to the instructor, other members would overhear and chat too - so a friendly group of members too!
I went to: cycle class, slow flow, Lavender Chill, INSPIRE yoga, and a hot yoga / slow flow class. I liked all of them. With cycle, the instructor lead a very long warm up and cool down and stretch, which is rare, but necessary. She also helped me set up and explained the class. I could tell a group of people always went to her class and enjoyed it.
Amenities: There are free yoga mats to use -but they are thin and also kind of slippy. There are free hand towels, but for a larger towel, rent one for $1.50. I liked this, since I was at a conference and needed a mid-day shower. The shower/locker rooms had four showers, cubbies, mirrors for make up / hair, plus a hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron, hair bands, and shampoo/conditioner/soap/lotion.
