I *LOVE* this studio. I'm not typically into yoga or yoga studios, because a lot of the time I get done with the class and think "well, that was an hour of stretching, I guess" but at Hot Spot you WORK OUT and they somehow make it super fun.... more
I took the six week weight loss class with Katy at Vita and it has completely changed my life. I cannot recommend this class enough to anyone interested in getting the support and information they need to start eating better and feeling better.... more

This is the best place. The staff are very attentive and informative about muscle use and modifications. The mat classes and the reformer classes that I have taken are challenging, but very do-able because Krista and the rest of the staff modify and make sure you are in the correct position.... more
Premo is a poet of touch: never before have I met such an intuitive healer and never do I feel more cared for than when I am in her presence. Not only does she bring the physical body back from ache and fatigue, she reawakens the spirit at the deepest level.... more

Flex is a great, no frills, neighborhood gym. The space is much roomier than it looks from the outside with a studio, spin room, and weight room in the back. The weight room has two squat racks so there is rarely a line.... more
The inviting staff, friendly gym-goers, and lack of massive crowds more than makes up for the limited and aging selection of workout equipment. There are four squat racks, multiple treadmills and ellipticals, and a decent variety of targeted machines and pulleys.... more
