| - I just got my BUTT kicked here. You know, in a good way.
This studio opened in May 2011, so it's kind of a youngin' but the teachers there have been on the job for a while. I heard of the place via a recent living social deal. They do yoga, pilates, contemporary dance, and some private stuff if that's what you're into.
Pulling in the area looks kind of industrial and warehousey. I think there was a sign in front of the fitness complex that said "Hawthorne Mills". It's next door to a place called the Fitness Factory. Anyway, do not be deterred by the scruffy exterior. Move Studio is a clean, bright little studio on the inside and that's what counts.
I was the only one there for class (like I said, it's a pretty new place) so I got a personalized pre-natal oriented intermediate yoga work out. I said stretch me out and sweat me a little, and that's what my instructor Katie did. She pushed me, but pulled back whenever things got close to too intense. Now I feel like a Gumby doll in the best way possible. I will certainly be back next week for more gentle punishment, though I'm sure if you showed up and asked for a relaxing routine she'd be able to do that too.
The place is SUPER family friendly, as in the instructors bring their own kids in and usually alternate watching them. So if you've got rug rats, bring them in for I think five additional bucks while you stretch and sweat.
Speaking of five bucks, if you come in for their "grand opening" week (see website) classes are a mere five dollars a pop (down from 15 a la carte, 10 with a pass). Private or duet lessons cost a bit more.
