YogaFit

Absolutely love yogafit. It was recommended to me that I try yoga & I had been to CPY before & absolutely hated the atmosphere. I had a friend recommend yogafit & I fell in love. The instructors are wonderful — the classes are just where I need them to be. They linkup with local businesses — which is amazing. The owner visits & works at all locations — so just another thing I like to see.

I was excited about a new yoga studio coming to downtown that wasn’t as busy and popular as Core Power. I did the one free week. I first went to a Barre class with a friend. I loved the class and had troubles walk the rest of the week (good thing) but during the class was asked to be quite by the instructor because my friend and I were talking (probably too loud, in the instructors defense) during wall sits. I realize that it’s suppose to be a somewhat zen atmosphere but there was not much excitement during the class. It was pretty quite, with the exception of the 80s songs. I thought I would give it another try since it was such a good workout and I went alone to a Sweat class. It seemed to be defined somewhat like a CPY sculpt class. I was incredibly disappointed. The instructor was new and despite being very friendly I didn’t break a sweat in a heated yoga class, which is a feat all on its own. I think the studio is beautiful and has a ton of potential. It seems to be a much more welcoming atmosphere to people that are newer to yoga than a CPY would be but if you’re already a yogi I would highly recommend the Barre class (as long as you don’t talk to anyone). Also, free parking! Which is hard to find around downtown…

I walked by this yoga studio on the way to brunch over the weekend and they were advertising «one week free,» so I came in tonight to try it out! I chose the fusion class which incorporated elements of cardio and weight training. The studio room was small which I liked. It had full length mirrors on both sides and ballet barres attached. There were I believe 7 people in the class (including myself) and there was still some space. The room was heated nicely for this class. I’m not sure about the exact temp but it was at least in the high 70’s.
The class overall was good. I wouldn’t say it was the most challenging fusion class I’ve taken, but I felt great after the class was over. The instructor came by and adjusted you throughout the class which I love. She also had the option in the beginning of class when we had our eyes closed and doing breathing that those who did not want adjustments could raise their hand without anyone else knowing.
I will try to go to a few more classes in my free week to see if it’s something I want to commit to in a monthly membership.
