I am so glad I bought the 2 week trial membership! The class offerings are varied and unique compared to a typical gym. All the instructors I have met so far are friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. The pilates class and the pilates reformer class are a great workout and the arial yoga is alot of fun . Savasana offers a very different experience when held in the cocoon of the arial silks! I am truly looking forward to the next classes i have signed up for!
