Although the closest to home and most conveniently located for me, this was the fourth or fifth SC studio I tried and I'm sorry I waited so long.
So far I've been to classes taught by Monique and James J and they've both been amazing. James' class was "assisted" by his protégé and so James didn't spend much time on the bike but managed to be super motivating and upbeat (it was 6am) anyway. I'm looking forward to my next class with him when he actually gets on the bike. As amazing as James's class was, the real star of this location seems to be Monique. She teaches 45,60 and 90 min classes (two 45 min back to back classes on Wednesday) and they're always so booked up that one always feels blessed to get a bike. She's not too talkative which is great and everything she says is super motivating and her workout is great overall. Her motto "we don't wake up to give up" sums up her class and awesome attitude perfectly.
I'll definitely be checking out other instructors classes but I'll going back to Monique consistently.
The facilities here are impeccable, like all the SC studios and that grapefruit scent really grows on you.
The line goes out the door sometimes so I recommend getting there a little early especially if you're not really familiar with the facility and the bike settings.
Update: Olivia A's classes are also phenomenal! She's super high energy and motivating. A great workout and a really lovely person.
