| - High quality Pilates and cycle classes with abundant parking and good pricing!
Parking: Loads of parking. This is near the Starbucks north of Missouri/7th St.
Hours: excellent! There are classes seven days per week. They have classes that begin at 6 am, all the way till 7 pm.
Instruction: Depends. I now have determined for Pilates, I prefer Tyler, Kristina, Ariel, and Jessica. Reason? They are very very observant, and they correct people and provide instruction that makes sense. They will help a person modify if she needs. When my mom was in town, I wanted to take her here. I chose a class by Jessica, since I knew she would help if either of us were doing something incorrectly. Body alignment is imperative in Pilates. Tyler is especially observant and helpful, and he also specifically states the muscle groups, which I like. The Jump Jump classes are a lot of fun - it's not jumping on the ground, but low impact jumps on the reformer. The Reform classes provide core, leg, and upper body. Instruction is provided before one completes the exercise. Other instructors did not provide as specific instruction as the four individuals listed above, and I have been to numerous instructors' classes.
Spin: I mostly participate in Kaitlin's spin class and enjoy her positive attitude and friendliness. She gets to know people. Other instructors did not bother to learn my name. Her classes are high energy with fun music. She recommends specific speed, but not necessarily power. The spin classes are on Kaiser bikes with the computers on them, so one can view his or her RPMs or power.
Price: They always have deals. I got a Labor Day deal where I got 10 classes for $100 for Reform. I got some other deal for spin where they were maybe $6 per class. There are holiday sales, black Friday sales, etc. The regular prices are not that bad, either.
Ambiance: Nice big windows and mirrors line the studio, so it's light and lovely in there. The cycle studio is too dark for my taste. I know that's the cool thing in spin now, but it's hard to see if one wants to leave early. I also hate how the two bathrooms are in the back of each studio.
