4 /5 Nicole Trujillo: I have attended several different classes at The Strength District via Class Pass. I like that they offer so many different classes at one location. It’s very convenient and I like getting to know the staff for a more personal experience.
There are two main workout rooms. One room offers yoga, barre, mat Pilates, strength and TRX. The other room is for reformer Pilates.
I have tried Vinyasa yoga. Lynzy was is amazing with the flow. Not only was it a great workout, I also felt the benefits of a full body and much needed stretch.
I took mat Pilates, reformer Pilates and barre Pilates fusion. I’m new to Pilates so I’d need to try different Pilates classes at other locations to provide more insight on what I would expect to feel after these workouts. I’d probably try the mat Pilates before the reformer Pilates because of the visibility to see the movement instruction. In the reformer Pilates class all of the reformers are in a single line and there’s a pillar in the middle of the room. I. The class I took it was hard to see the instructor if she was giving instruction on the other side of the room with the pillar blocking the way. There are also some things I didn’t know if I was doing right and I don’t feel that I was given much guidance. I was watching other people in the class to see what they were doing as were other women around me.
Barre Pilates was great for working on core strength but some of the Pilates pads weren’t holding air. The instructor mentioned that they aren’t the best quality. She also said she came in early to add more air to the pads so it sounds like they need to be replaced. This left me feeling a little weary that they’re not updating their equipment often enough. My pad held air but I would be disappointed if I showed up to a class and couldn’t get a proper workout because the equipment was lacking.
My favorite class by far is the TRX class instructed by Nikki. Wow! She is awesome in watching form and giving alternative moves to those in need. I’m active and do strength training regularly. Her workout left me sore in places I haven’t been sore in a very long time. Her workout targeted areas I’ve been trying to work for quite some time, like bra bulge areas. I look forward to going back to her class!
The descriptions on Class Pass tell you what you need to bring. Overall, this is a great place to experience several different types of workouts. The staff are friendly, encouraging and enthusiastic. I observed that a majority of the clients are women so if you’re a woman looking for a place to feel more comfortable I’d recommend The Strength District.
