| - You know you're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, and I would use that same rationale with Move Studio Charlotte. Cassandra G. has it right - the "scruffy" exterior is slightly off-putting, but inside, the studio is modern, bright, and relaxing. I have taken a Cardio Funk class, which provided a good sweat, although I felt like a rhythmically challenged cheerleader throughout (probably my own problem, not the class). But I have head-over-heels fallen for the Pilates Mat class. Taught by the owner, Pilates Mat is a great, deep stretch and a full body workout. At the start of class, April asks if there are any particular areas someone wants to focus on, so you get a tailored experience for your individual needs. And as someone who typically eschews yoga classes as boring, I definitely feel a burn and leave feeling limber and live I've worked my body.
I have been super impressed with the level and quality of service I've received. When I wasn't able to use the full amount of classes from my Groupon before they expired, April extended it for a month. And although I haven't used it personally, I understand there is childcare available for some of the classes, which is unusual for a small, non-YMCA size studio.
Move Studio Charlotte seems to consistently offer good specials, which is nice for those of us who can feel the penny pinch. In addition to last year's Groupon deal, there's also new customer special (with 7 classes for $49) and a current January special (3 months unlimited classes for $50/month); December's deal was one free class for every class you took. And Saturday mornings they offer a $5 yoga class! Single drop-in classes are $15 each, and there's a 5/10/20 class or unlimited month pass.
