The yoga itself and the teacher are great! However fully enjoying the experience is hindered by…read morewhat seems to be a no cap on number of people/fit as many bodies in the room as possible. It's very uncomfortable to be so squeezed in and so close to your neighbor that it's hard to do some poses. Also when you're sweating profusely no one wants to be that close together. Especially for $26 a class I expect to have space. Not show up and have to ask people to squeeze together their mats because there doesn't seem to be room for us even though we booked in advance? Also it seems that many people crammed in a room like that has to be against fire code. It is really frustrating that it seems they don't manage the amount of people who sign up for the classes or put a cap on it. Like we easily couldn't not had a spot and we signed up/paid in advance. Please Hot Yoga put a lower cap on classes so we can better enjoy the experience!

So after going to Soulcycle when I was home in NYC in December, I decided to give Purvelo a second…read morechance, and I'm glad that I did. The instructors and front desk reps are so friendly and took the time to get to know me at the cheer station for the 10 miler event last week and before/after the regular classes. I accidentally left my water bottle at my bike last night, and emailed the team. The owner, Kristin, was an angel and alerted the staff. One of the instructors and the front desk advised me of where the lost and found is and helped me figure out which one it was. Thank you for that because that bottle is expensive, lol I am literally sweating my fat away in these classes. I step on the scale every morning and noticed that I have lost three pounds this week. When I went last year, I lost ten pounds in about three weeks. I also feel "refreshed" and like a brand new person after my classes. After my contract ends with another boutique gym in the area and if I stay in the Cville area (I'm out of the area 5 days a week/12 hours a day for work right now), I will alternate monthly between going here and the other gyms in the area (I like to mix up fitness routines because I get bored easily). Parking is still a little tricky in the evenings, but since I signed up for the early morning classes, it has been a breeze (knocks on wood). I'm not a morning person, so not wanting to go back to sleep after classes taken at this studio is pretty awesome. That's how great the instructors are. Please do not change, Purvelo.

I have to preface this review with coming from REV Cycle studio in Baltimore, I have high standards…read morefor cycling studios. I was pleasantly surprised with this studio! I was in town for one weekend and wanted to try the studio and they kindly offer a complimentary free first class. I came for an early Sunday morning class and was greeted with very kind staff members happy to help or answer questions. The class itself was different than I expected, but still an overall great workout. They are very Soul Cycle like with the combinations of upper body crunches and push ups style dance moves, which was the one draw back for me. I am more into the hardcore HIIT style bike work outs and am not coordinated enough to mix in the crunches and moves along with fast cycling. The instructor, Robyn, was great and very energetic and kept the energy high the entire class. Overall I would come back to this studio to try a different classes and instructors!

The space was very lovely, spacious and convenient parking wise. All the teachers and students were friendly. During classes I appreciated each teacher as they all have their own personality and provided a safe place to really re-ground. My last class was the candlelight on Thursday and instantly after class I thought, I'm really going to miss this studio. I hope to visit again when I'm in town. Super clean and cozy. Thank you Caroline, Kira, Megan and Stephanie for providing such great space and flow!

As a beginner yogi, I am always wanting feedback on my form, and I appreciated that the instructors would stay after and answer any questions I had and also give me additional feedback. However, my latest experience after the 30 day trial wasn't the best, and I don't think I'll be returning. I attended my first aerial level 2 class, and I felt like a burden the entire time. It appeared that everyone was already well bonded--which was fine, but there wasn't much explanation behind any of the poses, and it was expected that I know poses that were completely foreign coming from level one. This was really discouraging, and I know I have a lot of room for growth in my practice, but I'd rather do it in a space where I feel comfortable with where I am in my practice.

I started with their 3 weeks for $30 offer and…read morehave since signed up for their three month intro offer with plans to continue as a monthly member. All of the instructors are amazing (I especially love Rachel and Lydia), and Sabine and Aly (the owners) have set up a relaxing and inviting space. There is a beautiful patio outside of one of the studios that you can practice on, but you can also stay inside if it's too hot or cold for you. Teachers teach from the space between, so you have options. Bolsters, blocks, towels, blankets, straps, cups for water, and mats are available at no extra charge. There are also bins to put your belongings in as well as a changing room. The bathroom is stocked with hair ties, bug spray, spray deodorant, and other items you might need. I was initially hesitant to join because NOWyoga costs slightly more than other studios in Cville, but it's well worth the price. The instructors are very personal and are willing to talk before and after class about specific postures or struggles, and I find that the classes I attend provide a challenge without feeling overwhelming. It can be stressful to start a new workout routine or join a new studio, but the staff have really helped my transition into a new routine and to a new city. I feel like I have joined a community. I am always so excited to go to class, and I always feel so refreshed after. NOWyoga is a great studio for people of all ages and levels, and I can't recommend it enough!

I visited upstairs and did the elliptical, some free weights and a leg press. all worked great. I was disappointed to learn that ACAC as a multi-location workout facility doesn't have a membership tier that is inclusive for temporary/non-residents. it's either, you buy a one-time pass for $25; a three-day one; or a full monthly. nothing in between. Charlottesville itself is known for having a very transient, ever-changing population so this policy doesn't make sense to me. When I was there, some weirdo was on the stairclimber making this god-awful coughing noise about every 10 seconds. look, I know everyone has their workout quirks but spreading your germs around knowingly (in the age of airborne viruses like COVID) is a bad idea. I brought it to the attention of the desk attendant and she did not seem particularly phased by the news. ACAC Downtown is within walking distance of my flat/crashpad so I will go back. but I'm just hoping they either bring back the punch card or institute a program for non-residents to make life a bit easier.
