I have been going to AZ PowerTrain for a month now and love it! This place has everything going for them!
Facilities - The women's locker room/showers are spacious and clean. They provide more than enough room to shower and get ready after a class. There are plenty of lockers if you choose not to leave your items in their cubbies (which they have tons of!) This is great as I've been to studios where I've had anxiety over there being space to store any of my belongings and cringing at the thought of using their showers. This is not the case at AZ PowerTrain!
Their studio sizes are very large and provide plenty of space to accommodate a large number of students. I've been to classes at other studios where I feel like I'm on top of the other students and it consciously disrupts my practice. I don't have to worry about being the last one entering class and having to succumb to the last few feet of floor space in the corner.
Now I've only taken Warm Vinyasa, Hot Powerflow, Set 26, and Barefoot Bootcamp - so I can say in regards to these classes that they are awesome! What makes the difference for me are the instructors at AZ PowerTrain. Every single instructor I have taken here is genuinely nice, helpful and caring. Whoever had a decision in bringing on these instructors I applaud you.
Jen is my absolute favorite- I love that we focus on something specific for each class (arm balances, backbends, etc.) and she's very spiritual- her classes are therapeutic and a great workout! Adam is hilarious - if you need a good laugh and a great workout, take any class he is teaching! He's very informative and I've never taken class where he hasn't made it fun.
In addition to great instructors, the front desk staff is great, too. Always greeting you and acknowledging you when you leave, as well. They set a positive vibe for your first and last impression while you're there.
Outside of yoga, I took the Barefoot Bootcamp class with Destiney and it was AWESOME! I loved the variety and how tough it was. If I took this class every day I'd have a killer physique. I've also heard from lots of students that the TRX classes are awesome and a must. It's still on my list to try here (I love the variety of classes) I just need to take advantage!
I know this is out of AZ PowerTrain's control but I will also add that everyone in class is extremely nice too. I've been to studios where the crowd is very pretentious and cliquey and I truly have never felt that way about anyone else here. (Something I worried about being in North Scottsdale at such a nice studio.) The vibe here overall is just great!
I plan to continue coming to AZ PowerTrain and can't say enough great things! Try the first 2 weeks for free deal and you'll be hooked! See you in class!
