| - I used to love this studio. It's very pretty, some of the instructors are good, and they do all seem to really care.
What dropped this down to a 2 star review for me is the scheduling. Yes, they offer tons of classes. So how is it I can never seem to get to the class or instructor I want? I'll rearrange my week (I schedule my time down to the hour), only to find the schedule changed after I figure everything out. Also, some of the instructors are fantastic, but a couple of the best ones have left, leaving some who's classes I prefer to avoid. If anyone knows where Dominique went, please let me know!!
What finally pushed me over the edge is the cancelling of the kettlebell and Zumba classes for 3 months. Those are my favorite classes, especially with it being so hot out. I really don't care to do hot pilates or yoga during the summer. Now I've got this monthly fee for a membership that has no value to me. I really wish I had just bought a 10 class pass or something like that.
Also, depending on the time you go, the classes are SUPER crowded. These guys run groupons like crazy, so you get lots of beginners packing it in. If you're looking for individual attention or to avoid getting someone else's sweat on you, you're probably out of luck.
Bottom line - do not sign up for the annual membership. The studio, schedule, and instructors you see now will not be the same in 6 months or a year. Go with a monthly or drop in rate, so if you become dissatisfied you can easily cut your losses.
