text: A friend and I went to our first workout here last night. The staff are super friendly, and its a chic place, not to mention super convenient, if you're always zipping around to Whole Paycheck (otherwise known as Foods) as I do.\n\nI'm not sure exactly what it was that we were expecting, but it wasn't... quite this. It's not an aerobic workout, in that the exercises utilize very small movements, so it's great for people with joint problems. But, we did hope that it would be more... ballet inspired. This seemed only vaguely related to ballet. \n\nSo, the good: Your muscles burn. Both my friend and I are in reasonably good shape, and we were having serious issues with some of the exercises (in a good way). My hip flexors are still sore. So, if you want to focus specifically on your butt and thighs, this is an excellent workout for you. But moreso than a spin class? Hard to say.\n\nThe bad: The music is so loud, you often have trouble hearing the instructor over it. And, it is sometimes really hard to see what the instructor is doing, because they turn the lights down (maybe they want us to have a dance party vibe in there, I dunno). And, most importantly, for the amount of money they are charging, it just seems ridiculous how little hands on time you get from the instructor. Since so much of the workout relies on technique, it seems like a waste to spend that kind of dough and not know if you are doing it right.\n\nSo, if you're curious, I encourage you to try it out. Take advantage of the free try out special that they are running. It may very well be perfect for you. I may try another class, but it's unlikely.
