Location offers enough space in the class rooms, lockers and lobby. Super-friendly staff. And fairly clean locker room. Highly recommend it!

i just started to get back into yoga and took their hot bikram 90 class recently. the studio is very nice and it gets very hot and humid! i was sweating just sitting there waiting for the class to start (which was great). the class was a amazing and so was the instructor. everyone was very friendly, including the peers. i wouldn't recommend this class for a beginner though because the heat can be a bit much if you're not accustomed to it. mat rental is free for your first visit. towels, water, locks, snacks and more for purchase. CARD ONLY FACILITY!

Excellent energy and good facilities. Christine was a top Bikram leader. Like the floor and ventilation. Don't like the layout of the men's shower facilities. I'll go back!

I was genuinely traumatized from my experience here, which is a bummer since the other studios are great. Good class--not the best I've had but good--but the locker rooms are unsafe. There is absolutely no privacy. The door is left wide open, the shower doors are clear and don't close, and there is one single use bathroom. You WILL have to strip down completely naked in front of other people if you need to shower or change. So if you have a skin condition, are overweight, were raised religious, have self harm scars, or are a survivor of sexual trauma of any kind, you're out of luck. I've been to a LOT of classes over the years and have never seen a studio like this. I go to yoga to feel better afterward, not to have a panic attack. I brought up this problem with the front desk person, who had a dismissive and snide reaction. I wish I could get refunded for the 3 week trial I signed up for after this utterly terrible experience :(

I started coming to BODE after I had a baby, and after only a few weeks I can feel (and see) that I am rebuilding muscle and the baby weight is dropping off. I also feel happy, flexible, centered and strong. It's a wonderful program!

This studio has become my new home. I take classes regularly having joined last month. Since the 90 minute class is intense and challenging it is great to have a variety of teachers with different styles and expressions - each day is different. It is a wonderful community, the teachers are incredibly generous and caring.

I LOVE this yoga studio! The classes are wonderful, and they have 60, 75, and 90-minute options to choose from. All the instructors I've taken have provided an amazing experience! The staff couldn't be more helpful or kind. Definitely recommend!

Every single time I attend class, I learn something new about my practice and my body. Not only do I feel like I am becoming stronger in my practice, but also in my life! Highly recommend!!!

First few weeks back after a long break. Kudos to all the staff from reception warm greetings, Laundry service is phenomenal. Most of all my instructors have been kind to a not so perfect yogi. Keep up the great work!

Great studio, friendly staff and excellent instructors! This location offers a lot of options from 60-90minute classes. I came here for the Bikram, but eventually tried the hot HIIT class which was great too.

Recently relocated to NYC and while I was sure I'd be able to find a hot yoga studio in the city, I was concerned that it would have a different vibe than the Midwest studios I was used to. Bode is amazing. The instructors, particularly Georgia and John, are amazing. The facilities are clean and the towel service makes getting in and out of a class without having to carry a gym bag through the city so convenient. The new resident special is hard to beat. If you haven't done hot yoga, this is a great place to start. If you're a pro, you'll find a great group that will help take your practice to the next level.

Bode NYC is a wonderful studio. The staff is super helpful and towels are included in the price of the class, which is awesome because you don't have to carry a wet towel around the city after class. The studio is clean and Monday night classes with Georgia are a must in my busy schedule! She takes the time to explain why each pose is good for your health and will help students correct their poses during class. Great overall!

I am a complete beginner (have been to about 8 classes in the last 5 years) and would recommend Bode to other beginners! The instructors (especially Georgia) are terrific-- very encouraging throughout the class! The studio and locker rooms are also very clean, and signing up for classes online, etc. is easy (they always have room in any class that you want to attend).

Hot HIIT with Scott Leiendecker is easily one of the best and most challenging fitness classes in NYC. It's not only a killer workout, it's fun and motivating at the same time. I highly recommend you try this class!

Love the convenient schedules and fantastic teachers!

Changed my life. Been going since 2002.

Love some hot yoga and this place is great, there are classes all the time, the check in process is fast and you can buy/rent anything you need for your class. I wish the locker room was a little larger. Namaste!

It was my first hot yoga at this place! The instructors are wonderful, especially Patrick, he really pushes you to do your best. He makes sure that you get the right poses all the time. I feel so calmer now after doing 10 classes! I'll definitely come back again!

I also placed a version of this review on citysearch. I have only been practicing for 3 months in Chicago so on a trip to NYC, I wanted to check out Bikram in another city. After reading mixed reviews on other places, I set my sites on Bikram yoga nyc's midtown location (which is more like the theater disctrict at 48th and 8th). I practiced two days in a row at the 8am Saturday and Sunday classes. What a fantastic experience. Both days the instructors were so warm and welcoming. Both provided excellent direction and really did a great job of teaching and bringing my practice to another level in just one weekend. The facilities were nice with the office and check in on the fifth floor and the class on the fourth floor. Good locker room for guys which included showers, etc. My 8 am class on Saturday only had about 8 people in it which was really great because the instructor really gave detailed and personal direction to each of us. The Sunday class had 15 people and that instructor was still able to provide specific coaching and encouragement to each of us. One other thing that I liked was that there was lots of mirror space with the studio being fairly long and not too deep. If you are in NYC, I would highly recommend bikram yoga nyc at 48th and 8th. One last note: the west/left side of the room is much less hot than the east/right side of the room so pick your side accordingly (I picked west on Saturday and east on Sunday). Namaste

I like it so much that I maintain a monthly membership here. The instructors are knowledgeable, kind and attentive. Going regularly has really made a positive impact on my body and health.
