| - I have always wanted to try Yoga and I was going to try Bikram but all the reviews of how the room smelled and over populated turned me off to that. And the fact that the class is always 90 minutes long was a bit much for me being someone who has never done Yoga before.
I came across Body Heat Hot Pilates & Yoga while on Yelp and all the reviews were great, so i came for a trial class. I wasn't prepared being a newbie but they had mats avail to rent for $1 I think and they had water you could buy for a $1 as well. They provided towels and a very clean and relaxing lockerroom.
My first class was with the instructor Greg, he is the man! Great teacher, he understands everyone is at different levels and insists on you taking a break if it's too tough or you get light headed. My first clas was a bit of a chore but i made it through and felt amazing afterward. I was drenched from the 95 degree, hour long class but it was so great.
I signed up and have now been going for 6 weeks, they just recently started offering more classes because of the demand so now you can pretty much go there and find a class from 8a-7p!
I have tried the body sculpt with weights, it's a fun and challenging class as well, i recommend for everyone. Also, ive tried both 60 minute yoga classes and they are great stretching workouts. I have tried the pilates class and I probably wont go back to that one for a while, because you need to be ready to work for 60 minutes non-stop, i have no idea how all those tiny girls can do it, its a great class and well instructed but very hard for people just beginning, there are not many breaks.
Sheena, Ashley, and Greg are my favorite instructors but everyone else there is very professional, great at what they do, and fun too. I really like that the instructors and all employees take the time to know every members name, that's a sign of unbelievable customer service and needs to be noted!
Finally, bring a change of clothes, i made the mistake the first few times to take shower at home and it was not pleasant driving home in sweat drenched clothes. They have 2 showers in the mens lockerroom and they provide this great coconut shampoo/conditioner/soap. So you smell great after the class. They also can provide you with a lock for your locker but there are no sketchy people there that ive ever seen.
Finally if you like to be around half naked women who are doing amazing stretches all around you, that's just the motivation to keep coming back to try and keep up.
And i must mention Laura, their do everything manager i believe, she will be in a lot of the classes with you, always encouraging you and a very positive and happy soul. If you go there, you must meet her, she always brightens my day with her attitude.
Hope this helps and see you at class!
