Edit:
I also want to share a disappointing interaction I experienced on 3/1/2026. While I was having a private, respectful conversation with instructor Michael and another member, a manager (Erica) abruptly interrupted without introducing herself, spoke in a rude and condescending tone, and responded defensively. The interaction felt unprofessional and discouraging, especially when members were simply expressing support for a valued instructor. The studio risks losing loyal members over decisions like this. I hope the studio reconsiders how it engages with both its staff and community.

I’m giving this studio three stars out of frustration. There are currently no other challenging instructors I can take. Tara and Hydia have left, and it’s disappointing not having options for truly advanced classes.
I leave work early once a week just to attend Michael’s class. He’s the most challenging instructor I’ve ever had, and the only one whose classes I take. He genuinely practices what he teaches, and that motivates me every single class. Michael is a 10/10 instructor and the main reason I keep coming back.
The staff are friendly, which I appreciate, but it would be amazing to have more advanced instructors to rotate with. If you want a class that truly pushes you, Michael is unmatched!🤍
P.S. When I first started in 2022, freezing a class due to going out of town was a one-time $15 fee and could be waived. Later it became non-waivable, which is fine, but in 2025 it increased to $35 per month paused. So if you’re away for two months, that’s $70 just to pause your membership. Two changes, but a big jump.
