True You Hot Yoga
"Sad to put 3 stars, and sad to write this review. I feel it's important for consumers as well as the owner/staff to know what's going on at their establishment so they can correct it. I do enjoy most of the instructors as they are excellent at their craft! I like that I can go in, get my workout on and feel like I got my moneys worth. However, the past few months it has really gone downhill. There have been several times where people have walked in the studio with shoes on, there is a sign posted to be SILENT inside the studio and this is not the case at all. On several occasions the studio has been so packed that people had to use the walk way to lay their mats down (which was fine), but others were laying their mats OVER other peoples mats! That is completely ridiculous. And yesterday's incident is what made me finally write this post. Yesterday at the 10:30a IHP someone came in and smelled the ENTIRE hot yoga studio with the smell of weed. Everyone kind of stopped and looked around then the chatter grew louder about the smell. I don't think someone should reek of alcohol, perfume/cologne, smoke or otherwise, that's stated outside along with take of your shoes. My point is, there is no one enforcing or educating the newcomers or seasoned yogis. I love that most of the instructors will shut down the chatter during class. There are protocols for a reason, and I don't expect it to be policed or so strict that it's not fun, but c'mon man, take off the shoes and if you want to puff before class- don't come in smelling like an ashtray because we already gotta smell hot sweaty ass people, we don't want to smell your crap too! Yoga time here to me is getting to unwind and destress a and focus on my health. Hard when I'm paying over $140 a month and experiencing these annoyances. However, they just added a 6am IHP, I've never experienced any of these things at the 6am class. So hopefully this will help."

"I recently started attending hot yoga here. It's something I have not done before so it was definitely intimidating. However I had a great experience with the staff and instructor here. They are welcoming and don't make you feel less adequate for being a beginner or simply not being able to do some of the exercises. They provide small face towels to wipe down your face. You bring your own mat or you can rent one for $5 a day. They give you a cold eucalyptus face towel at the end and it's so refreshing and relaxing. The reason why I give one star off is because the classes can a bit crowded and I wish they would allow more class times and few people in a class. Overall I highly recommend if you're interested in getting into hot yoga!"
