This is the only studio in the area that offers Cryotherapy, PEFM therapy, stretch therapy, and Infrared Sauna. Literally an athletes haven! Quality of care is amazing, Kendra loves what she does and hires the BEST employees! Melanie handles all the office and billing and the experience is always great. Would recommend this place, over and over again! We are a forever customers for as long as they are here.

Its super close to where I am. This past Tuesday night, I took a hot pilates class with Jay Houston and that class was packed like sardines. There was probably 60 people in the class and it was a very hard class. Im in decent shape and man this class was really testing me. And it was beyond hot. Im glad I got thru it but not sure I wanna take this class on the regular. I just no longer feel like thats what my body needs. Tonight, I took a Flext class with Scarlett Salem and wow this class was soooo good and definitely my speed. It was heated and we did a lot of really great hip and low back stretches that I love and need. Instructor was very good, very clear and I enjoyed every minute of this class! 10/10! The heat was set just right and I still sweated a lot but also got in a really deep stretch session but not to the point where I felt it was overwhelming. I will try to come to more of these Flext classes before I leave. Really great intro offer and Im really loving my yoga practise here! Thank you!

Adding onto the bounty of good reviews below. I started doing yoga at home to find peace and time…read morefor myself in a hectic and stressful life. The random ten minute videos on YouTube were fantastic starters, but I realized that I wanted something more so I found Grace, a studio local to me. The first session was free, so it was a good way to get introduced to the place and the people there. So let's start there. I almost had enough time to say hello to the receptionist when she recognized that I was a new face, smiled, and introduced herself to me. She offered a tour to me, which was friendly, but I was surprised that another attendee offered to take me on a tour herself! It was clear to me then that the friendliness was contagious. I really appreciate that the equipment is available at no cost. Having the mats, the blocks, the bands, and even blankets there meant that I could participate at the same level that more experienced yogis could. This first session, I rolled out in the back as Jade started speaking. The whole experience was wonderful, but something she said stood out to me: when someone's phone rang and they apologized, Jade responded with a smile and said "Don't be sorry. This just means someone's thinking of you." And then I knew that the community was eager to share their wisdom and peace with others. On the community board (which highlights members, friends, and local services) I saw that the first month was available for a reduced price, and after such a wonderful first experience, I knew I was going to sign up. I'm almost done with this month and have practiced under different instructors but have found them all incredibly welcoming. I also appreciate the ability to participate from home, which I've done on several occasions, and an equal level of engagement from the instructor. I've had a really positive experience thus far and am excited for many more months of good yoga and community!

I've attended several classes at this studio…read more Lenore's sunrise strength class was a great way to wake up my muscles while watching the sun come up through the studio's picture windows. I've also taken rise and rest yoga with Lenore. This was a relaxing way to wind down from a busy day. I recently competed a yoga strength class with Amy. This was an all-level class and she offered us options to modify or intensify each move. Amy played a nice mix of songs from her phone during the class; however, the music kept being interrupted by notification dings, which was distracting. Overall, I found Grace Studio to be a decent place for a yoga workout. The studio is equipped with mats, weights, blocks, resistance bands, and bolsters. Instructors offer verbal assists rather than hands-on adjustments for yoga moves. Instructors are welcoming, the studio is bright and inviting, and classes are not crowded.

Walked in out of curiosity, only to be greeted by a kind and friendly staff. Whadda ya' know, I actually had on yoga pants, so they invited me to stay for the free session that was starting at 4pm. So, I did, and It was awesome! The class was 30 minutes and provided a comprehensive full-body workout, explaining what the reformer could do and we did simple exercises with our legs and arms on our back, and used the colored cords to control the intensity. The instructor gave us clear instructions and was nice to work with. The class had all ages and sizes. The class was effective; I could feel a little soreness in my arms and hamstrings. I truly enjoyed my experience and after looking at the deals, they had options for just about anyone that were flexible in times and location. I plan on joining at some point. Parking is free nearby in the garage. The facility is clean and they appear to be well-organized. I'm aware of complaints lodged against their other locations, but I am willing to give them a try, as they have been in business for a few years now and seem to have ironed out a lot of their previous kinks.

I walked…read moreup to the door where a woman inside who worked there (and seemed to be expecting someone who was not me) stared back through the glass door. I pulled on the door- it was locked. It's a pandemic, I get it. But she stared for a few more beats from behind the glass, our faces a two feet apart, looked me up and down, and then reluctantly opened the door and said "YOU are looking for the hardware store. It's 'OVER THERE' ..... there's a *SIGN*" and in a passive aggressive tone that was really unnecessary gestured toward a big sign on the door that directed people looking for Ace Hardware to go nextdoor. I said "nope, I'm actually looking to learn about Pilates," but it was such a turn off that I turned and left. I assure you, lady, I can read the sign. And your judgments about who you think and perceive to be a potential customer was very disrespectful. It says a lot about the biases and prejudices you don't mask very well. Good luck!

OVERALL: good workout but it's more like stretch Pilates…read more PROS: - small studio with I believe only 7 reformers = lots of individualized attention - if you're new to Pilates the individualized attention is great and adds to a safe and welcoming environment - clean - friendly staff - socks on pilates (they sell sticky socks) - great 3 class for $79(?) promo CONS - fills up quickly bc there are only 7 reformers - it's not as hard as solidcore. I did both beginner classes here and solidcore and found that while I got a little burn/soreness the day after, District Pilates felt more like a stretch Pilates class. Solidcore was harder and I really felt I was working my entire body - wish they had followed up after my 3 day promo was up Overall a good starting point and would recommend for starting out.

With the consistent practice, I've noticed an improvement in my breathing during class. I'm starting to get a hang of flowing my breathing in with my movements. My sun salutations are starting to feel more like a flowing dance than a start and stop sequence of poses. I look forward to deepening my practice with all the yoga teachers and learning more about yoga philosophy. Mimi's Power Flow gives me so much LIFE!!! I've never sweated so much in my life, not even when I visit the sauna! When I'm in Mimi's class, I have no choice but to be present and stay present on my mat - because if I don't... I will get lost really fast. This might sound really intense, but for me, it's a form of mediation. I have trouble staying focus and present. My mind normally wonders and I think about my to do list, what I want to eat after class, and a thousand other things. But being in Mimi's class, I am able to shut down the busyness in my head and spend an hour practicing and flowing on my mat.
