From the reviews
I love this fitness + yoga studio and what is happening here. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, and they offer great variety in their classes and programs with flexible times. I also love the re-use of a cool building with wood floors.
I began with this group by attending yoga events at Archival Brewing and felt so welcomed by Rachel that I decided to try more classes offered at the studio. I can say that no matter what class or trainer I have been with that they each have made me feel strong and confident about myself and the team is helpful with…
My wife and I have attended several Yoga sessions at Aptitude Fitness and it's been fantastic! We appreciate the insightful guidance that is both challenging and soothing. I lift weights at another fitness place, but we love the classes here.
I love OMG Yoga! Michele is so welcoming. I have had 6 surgeries (5 neck fusions, 1 back). She has helped me when I can't do certain things, and given me options to try. She does such a great job with our whole class! She always gives good advice.
Your first barre class at Aptitude Fitness + Yoga
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
