Tru For U

Having recently moved to St. Thomas, one cannot imagine my delight in finding Yin Yoga classes being offered at Tru For U.

My memory of the first visit, was that my welcome was as warm as the yoga room, and the instructor was wonderful.

Read all you can about Yin Yoga.

I am an active senior (65 years) reaping the benefits of this practice.

Enjoyed the class very much.

My favourite class so far! I love how Anne takes the extra time to make sure every member in the class is getting the most out of each pose.

My daughter and I signed up for  the introductory package and we’ve gone to nine hot yoga sessions so far and we are enjoying our time there.  After a busy, stressful workday, I am finding that it’s just what I need!  The facility is clean welcoming.  I encourage anyone who has not taken up a hot yoga class to try Tru!  The instructors are all qualified and so helpful with suggesting accommodations to make poses more challenging or less challenging for individual students.  My daughter and I have completely different skill levels and we are both enjoying our time at Tru so much so that we will be signing up for unlimited term passes.  I  have not tried the spin classes or other « gym » type classes since I was really just looking for a good yoga studio so I can’t comment on that part of the facility.

I highly and whole-heartedly recommend Tru For U. In the month since I started going there (and eating more healthily) I've lost ten pounds and feel full of energy. I actually look forward to every fitness and yoga class I attend - never, ever the case in the past - and I want to go every day. It just feels good. I'm disappointed when my schedule precludes dropping in. The classes are offered with a good range of times and the ability to double up on back to back fitness and yoga sessions, if desired, which I've noticed people do. The instructors have all been excellent, the desk staff informative and helpful, the other members friendly and pleasant, and the price is very reasonable. I like that there are members ranging from their 20s to retirees, women and men, at all levels of fitness. The physical space and atmosphere are inviting and, being a yoga studio, are at the other end of the spectrum from a big gym or the YMCA, which I don't care for. This is a cozy, pleasant, attractive place; it has a spa atmosphere and somehow makes me feel welcome and comfortable when I walk in the door in spite of being an overweight, middle aged gal without sleek workout wear. To give you an idea of the scale of the studio there is an entrance foyer with front desk and kitchenette for getting water, a separate, heated yoga room with laminate flooring and a mirrored wall, and an exercise room with a cushioned rubber floor where the fitness and spin classes take place. These rooms are not small, not big - just right. There is also a separate section at the front of the building where spa and chiropractic services are offered, but I haven't explored these options to date. I was able to try unlimited free yoga and fitness classes for a two week introductory period and within a week knew I'd found, for literally the first time (at 51 years of age), a place to exercise and work on improving my health where I felt at home and where I actually wanted to go. The classes have let me strike an effortless balance between gently challenging myself and not overdoing it, and that is entirely due to the skill of the instructors, who are conscientious about including modifications for newbies and those with physical constraints. I'm made to feel like I'm an integral part of the class along with the fit members who are bending like pretzels. And I am seeing and feeling definite results. What else can I say...the facilities are clean, there's free parking right behind the building, and with my membership plan (there are various options) I can just borrow a provided yoga mat, water bottle and towel every time I go - I like this convenience. For me an added bonus is that I live close to the studio, so I'm glad it's located where it is on Talbot St., and I'm thankful I took the step to check it out. It's well worth a try : )

I began Tru 2 weeks ago and am hooked!
I love the people, facilities and overall “feel” of TRU! You definitely don’t have to be a pro (I am for sure an example of that), yet I think I’m catching on quite quickly!
This place is amazing ... the people that take the classes are diverse, easily makes everyone feel like they belong, and everyone from staff to students are unbelievably kind and welcoming! Most the time I’m not sure exactly who is works there because all the people are simply amazing! Thanks so much for making me feel like I have place where I can be me and and feel good about what I’m doing!

Dr Derek Nash was very caring and really listened to my problems. He addressed  and treated all my concerns and sent me an email outlining my issues with stretching exercises and plan to follow to improve and get stronger. I have been feeling much better following his plan. I suggest you make an appointment. You will feel better for it. He has true healing skill!
