OUR THOUGHTS

Overall, we loved the class! 

It delivered as promised — it was a low impact workout with tons of moves to really feel a burn. Our class started on the floor with a variety of moves to target the abs. Then, we stood up and targeted arms and legs using P.Volve weights and exercise balls. Melanie was super descriptive and showed every moevement — and gave plenty of modifications for us to turn up the workout or dial down depending on ability. Plus, her playlist was absolute fire. 

The studio was adorable. The front desk attendants were very friendly and welcoming and the lounge areas were well lit and well decorated — very ‘gramable, TBH. Unfortunately, the studio doesn’t have showers, but they do have mood lighting in their studios, so your pics will have a little oomf.

As mentioned above, masks weren’t required and there were no Covid vaccine checks, which was unfortunate.
