| - PROs: The staff and instructors are really friendly and passionate (Samie may be the sweetest person ever)! Great at offering modifications, motivating, and checking in with everyone.
CONs: Been hesitant to write a review since everyone is so nice, but there is a lot of room for improvement in my opinion....
- The studio is very narrow so does not really have room for as many people as they pack in before considering the class "full". It's really frustrating to show up to an overly crowded class where you have to spend most of your time just finding enough free space to fully extend your limbs as needed, instead of getting to focus on your workout. Part of the onus for this is on the studio for allowing so many people in each class, especially when the owner and instructors come in to already full classes and take away even more space from people paying for the class. The other part of the onus for this, in fairness, is on the other people in the class for not understanding the basic geometry of staggering.
- No classes on Sundays. It's my favorite day to workout, and often one of my most open. I asked an employee about this and she said that a few people have made that request but that the owner has said it's not negotiable to open on Sundays, which is just odd to me.
- The music gets really stale. It has gotten better the past couple months, but a lot of the classes are the exact same soundtrack over and over. Specifically, there is a "Bittersweet Symphony" remix that has become like psychological torture for war crimes with how many times I've had to hear it over the past 2-3 months.
- Abs are not really focused on much. I know they say that "Barre3 is a 60 minute ab workout", but I think this specific studio abuses that notion. Most classes only have one, pretty weak ab-focused set and I've even taken a couple that did not even have a single one. A couple instructors (Katie and Kendall, especially) have helped to make the ab portions more effective, but mostly I've just adapted to do my own ab workouts when I get home.
- The "woo" girl vibe. This is not really on the studio as much as the demographic, but sometimes there is a lot of "woohoo" yelping which makes me feel like I'm stuck in the middle of an Old Town Scottsdale bachelorette party at 1:54am. Not really anyone's fault but not at all the scene I'm looking for when I'm just trying to get a workout.
