| - I hate to have to do this, since I appreciated the chance to check this place out courtesy of the Yelp Ladies Appreciation Day.
The studio itself is nice and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I received a tour and the bathrooms and studio were clean.
Now, anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to workout. I LOVE to sweat. I workout for over an hour 4 times a week and longer on weekends. I can run 12 miles no problem and do so most Sundays. However, I'm not the strongest or most toned person in town, so I do like to try different classes to mix it up and work my muscles.
Hence my excitement when I saw the description for the GI Jane class here. I love words like "intense workout", "burn mega-calories", and "hard core workout". It gets me all excited inside. And I was excited, until about 10 minutes into the class when I hadn't even started sweating yet - yet alone burning the "mega-calories". The energy wasn't high and the pace of the class was slow. When it ended, I felt like I needed to go to the gym and get a real workout in. Talk about false advertising.....
I can see where those who like dance-y classes would love this place, as most of the classes seem to incorporate some form of dance. That's where Express MiE should keep there focus - since other reviewers seem to be pleased.
Following the class, Sarah G. (just realized that was you!?!) inquired about the instructor's qualifications. Turns out she has no fitness certifications, just a "dance background". Exactly my point....stick to what you know.
I realize this place is just not a good fit for me and my fitness routine, but if you're looking for a more low key workout incorporating dance then this is most likely for you!
