text: To any guy on the fence about joining a hot yoga gym: Try it.  Don't not try it.  In fact, to ANYONE on the fence about it.  You can do it!\n\nI started at Arrichion about 2 years ago when a friend of mine gave me her soon-expiring groupon just before she left for vacation.  I went to a few classes, and discovered quickly that not only did I like the challenge, and the fact that it gave me a chance to get in my own head and compete against myself, it also made me a better all-around athlete.  \n\nI'm primarily a cyclist, and yoga has helped me to be more flexible on the bike (which means I can get tucked into the drops just a little tighter, and have no back pain after a 4-6 hour ride).  I've also dropped a bunch of weight since joining, and have gotten lots stronger, thanks to the group weightlifting and circuit classes offered at Arrichion.\n\nThis is all not to mention the people there.  The gym is run by the friendliest, most accepting, down-to-earth group you'll ever meet.  They'll work with you to help you get better and stronger at everything you do.  From elite endurance athletes to triathletes to dancers to hobbiests to runners and people just trying to get into shape, there's so many great people at Arrichion, you'll wonder why you wasted your time NOT going there before.\n\nIt's a game changer, and a life changer.  You won't want to stop.  I haven't, some 200 classes later.  And I'll be back for more.
