Our call to the club was smooth and informative, with the receptionist confidently walking us through class options and membership details. A bit more personalization—like using our name—would’ve made it even better, but overall, it was a solid first impression.
At the studio, the front desk team was friendly and efficient, getting us checked in quickly and giving a brief tour of the space. While the process was seamless, the interaction felt a little transactional. After class, though, they were approachable and well-informed, answering our questions about packages with ease.

We had everything we needed to feel taken care of—lockers with number locks, free shower towels, and workout towels available for rent at just $2. Staying hydrated was easy with complimentary water refill stations, plus some paid options like bottled water and protein bites for a quick refuel.
The studio itself had a sleek, high-end vibe, with marble counters and floor-to-ceiling curtains in the changing area adding a touch of luxury. The branding was on point throughout, making the space feel polished and cohesive. A little clearer signage at the entrance would’ve made things even smoother, but once inside, it was nothing short of premium.
