| - Overall, this female-only workout spot is a great place to be a woman! No matter your age or progress in life, there is support and healing (both physical and emotional) to be found at this wonderful place.
Staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in a wide background of fitness styles, nutrition advice, body image, etc. There is a strong community among the regulars, much support and not snobbish or clique style. Instead open and friendly to the newbies.
I have seen women of all ages (18-60) and sizes attend these classes and they all have one thing in common: they come to find themselves. Some are seeking a new body image, others re-discovering confidence and still others to learn the sensual aspect of their feminine nature. What better way to gain confidence and make friends with your body than to learn the age old art of seduction? Brilliant concept that works very well.
I do recommend trying out as many different classes as possible, not only to get a feel for the different teaching of the instructors but also the difference between the more cardio classes vs. sculpting classes. The cardio dance classes, while able to increase difficulty, are more level 1- perfect for the newbie or entering back into exercising. They make it fun to pick up the habit of exercising again by their wide and varied styles, rotating class offerings. The sculpting classes are more intense, level 2 and 3, more focused on really getting those muscles to burn.
ATTENTION!: My only caution would be that already having experience attending dance/cardio classes or gym would be advised as proper form, technique and safety is not always mentioned (the classes are too short at 45 min. to cover that each time).
Also the classes are mostly in the evening, so if you were looking for early morning or pop-in-during-lunch type club, this is not it. Normally an early morning exercise type person, I surprisingly found the evening classes to be a fantastic way to unwind from the day, the often sultry nature of the dances blending well with cover of the night.
I also agree that it would be wise to supplement with a gym membership of sorts. While there are constant specials and the occasional groupon coupon, the classes are a bit pricey in comparison to other traditional fitness centers. But what you are paying for is the ambiance, the community and unique classes. For some, that experience is priceless. :)
p.s It's located on the backside of Trader Joe's shopping complex, follow the road around the back of the shops past the cardboard boxes and trash cans to discover this gem's hidden entrance.
