This studio is the shiz. I love coming here, every instructor is a different vibe and leave you feeling great when you're done with class...you really can't go wrong.
Set in a dark room by candlelight, it's a judgement-free, pressure-free, you-be-free zone. There have been classes where I do all the challenges and keep up with the instructors, and others where I just sit it out and chill. It's your hour - you do you! It may come off intimidating since the decor is all sleek, black, and concrete and there are no mirrors or much visual guidance during class, but really nobody is looking and everyone is in the same boat!
You can expect to hear hip hop through the speakers during the main portions of the class. Warm-up and cool-down portions are accompanied by typical yoga, peaceful instrumentals. Wednesdays and Sundays are on theme, announced every week (90's Hip Hop, Lizzo, Bad Boy Records, etc.). Typical class format goes as follows: warm-up, Flow 1 three times, Flow 2 three times, and Final Flow three times, a small cool-down, an abs challenge, and a final cool-down. Each Flow is done in three parts: once slowly and together as a class, once a little faster (breath to movement), and a final time on your own/your own pace/your own style!
There's a parking lot, but it can get full depending on which class you're attending and how close to class start time you come. People wait in lines to park in the lot! There's street parking on Sunset worst case! Mat placements are marked on the floors so popular classes will get to "Waitlist" status if enough people have signed up.
With the class packages, you get a sweat towel, sticky mat towel, mat rental, and bath towel. Classpassers don't unfortunately. It's a great membership if you commute via public trans and don't want to lug your mat around and definitely clutch for when you forget to pack your towels!
Showers indoors and outdoors with everything you need. Only thing is, all the locker areas are completely public, so you'll have to get dressed in the shower area which can be difficult when you're pulling on dress pants and it's 90 degrees and humid in the shower room.
LOVE AND RECOMMEND!
