| - Have fun while you workout!
This nice little studio above Moda Fina offers spin (Real Ryder - the bikes move side to side), yoga, barre, and core fusion classes. There is also a personal trainer there (Todd) who has had many years of experience. I have only taken Real Ryder classes and a Pilates class so can only write about these classes. The Real Ryder classes are really hard workouts, so expect to sweat, but also expect to have fun! The Real Ryder bikes have very heavy flywheels and also move, which allows you to work your core. I typically work at a higher intensity level than a regular gym spin class. Also, each instructor brings his or her unique music and style to the class. If you enjoy hip hop/rap/R&B, there's a live DJ class on Mon/Weds nights at 5:30pm with Todd and DJ T-Last. I like all the instructors there, and the owner, Grant is very friendly. Most all of the instructors introduce themselves to newbies and help with any type of set up one might need. The barre/core fusion classes seem to fill up rather quickly, and I have heard they are great.
The studio offered almost two months of free classes, which was a nice way to check out what was going on here. I purchased a bulk package of classes, rather than an unlimited, since I belong to other gyms.
The prices are high, but that's typical of any type of nice studio like this. The yoga studio where I usually go is slightly cheaper but does not offer the variety that CoreBalance has.
Other perks include towel service and Sparkletts water. There are towels on each bike, and one can get tasty water from the Sparkletts' dispensers (rather than seeing a gross loogie in a gym's water fountain!) The studio is a cheerful orange and gray inside with lots of light coming into the workout rooms.
The schedule has a lot of different times, and I was happy to have a 5:30 am on some mornings when I have a busy day. Getting there during late afternoon traffic has proven to be an annoyance (it's around 32nd/Camelback, a very busy area), but the early mornings and weekends offer some class times. They continue to expand their selection as well. Another nice thing is there's no false information provided from the gym.
One of my pet peeves is that some gyms go beyond their scopes of practice and offer services (i.e. nutrition) without expert qualifications. It's nice to see this studio focused on their classes and great instructors. However, I did notice that they recently started selling raspberry ketones (non - evidenced based) and some sort of other nutrition supplement products. I realize they're money makers... but don't like those kind of things.
