I took their 60 min Hot PIlates class and it was very challenging with the heat. At this point, I have only done two hot yoga classes also at the same temperature of 105-110 degrees but doing pilates in that level of humidity and heat is a whole other story. The studio is very spacious and I have not sweated so much in my life until this class. I could really feel the heat continue to compound for me at the last 20 mins of class.

Decided to try out hot yoga and Hot Yoga Plus offered a deal for 2 weeks of unlimited classes for $50 so I decided to try it. I took two classes of 26&2 BIKRAM YOGA. It was definitely a challenge as someone who is not a fan of the heat. The first instructor was a bit strict and didn't explain the movement which was fine, I just looked at the students around me. My second instructor, Yuqin Wen, was very beginner friendly. She explained each movement, why it was beneficial, and very encouraging. I would consider taking more classes with yuqin wen but I think hot yoga is not for me.

Good studio. Those who leave bad reviews based on things like parking, thick accents, and strict teaching style are likely people who had certain expectations coming in plus are not experienced in bikram. Bikram's extremely difficult, forcing you to climb a real endurance mountain and face your mental self doubts constantly for an extra long period of time compared to other disciplines. Those people don't belong in such environments and are not athletes who persevere, they're nothing but complainers. Use discretion while reading reviews! I was welcomed and challenged and that's what I came for. I'd say the heat was too high/congested.
