Yoga near Islip

“Ive been training at this gym since I was 8 years old. Theres not a better MMA gym around. Long Island MMA has the most experienced instructors who will help you reach whatever goals you have. There is tons of space in the gym and there is no equipment that they don’t have on hand. I love this gym, you won’t be disappointed!“

“My wife and I just moved from Colorado and were desperately looking for a facility that obviously catered to our fitness needs but also felt like a second home. We found ALL of that at FitLife in East Islip. Not only is the gym in impeccable condition (I could eat off the seated squat machine) but the staff is beyond reproach, extremely friendly and an essential aspect of why we chose FitLife. The ability to make a couple feel so welcomed and at home after having their entire lives uprooted is an extraordinary gift and FitLife has that shot in the bag!! ?️“

“This is a place where I find my peace. It’s wonderful how good the practices have been to me physically, and especially mentally.“

“I joined my first hot yoga class today, and I would highly recommend this as someone new to yoga!! It was such a great experience, instructors are clear and easy to follow along with, and you are free to go at your own pace without judgement. I’m excited to go back!“

“Working with Robin, Regina, Nick and Audrey Rose was an amazing experience and education for the 200 Hour YTT! I found all the materials, course work and teaching sessions to be very informative and everyone was so supportive! I originally was just looking to expand my knowledge of all the various modalities of Yoga to learn more about what you normally don't get exposed to in a typical Yoga class, but now feel I 'm ready to head out and teach...can't wait to start!Invest in yourself and do the 200 Hour YTT!Namaste“

“I had the best massage ever! Jimmy’s skilled hands worked out every knot and tension. The ambiance enhanced the experience. I felt like a new person and I am planning my next massage in the very near future.“

“Fox Dog Yoga is AWESOME! One of the only studios on Long Island with a Mysore style Ashtanga program. The owner, Harley, is so knowledgeable and makes her classes accessible to all levels of practitioners. They offer a variety of classes with a great team of teachers. Come for the yoga, stay for the cute pups and cozy cafe!“

“I am so eternally grateful to have this beautiful facility so close to home. It has been life changing! I highly recommend all programs and workshops. Some of my favorite are Michelle’s yoga class on Wednesdays, Sunshine’s inner child workshop, the meditation on Saturday morning and any of the sound workshops! Also Melissa is an absolutely wonderful therapist!“

“This studio and the community that attends it is warm and accepting. I can’t recommend it enough.“

“Essence of Yoga is not just a yoga studio. It is not just a business. For me, Essence of Yoga is a family. From the very first time I walked in the door, over 8 years ago, I felt like I was home. I was very hesitant, as it had been recommended to me during a very difficult period of my life and I said, " That's not for me. I can't do it. I don't like exercise. I'm not flexible. I won't like it." Well, here I am, over 8 years later, still practicing and can't picture life with out yoga, but more important my EOY family. From Shirley, the owner, to all the teachers, and the amazing fellow yogis that I have met here, it has become my happy place. I started the practice to relieve stress, not realizing the benefits to my body and spirit as well. Yoga is for EVERYONE!! There is no competition, no judgment, and most importantly, you will find a group of supportive, loving humans. There are classes for everyone and teachers always modify to meet you where you are. So please come visit Essence of Yoga. You will love it! ?‍♀️??“

“I’ve been seeing Linda for over a year now. I’ve been to other therapists before but my favorite thing about her approach is that when you need to be challenged, she will challenge you, she isn’t one to just justify you or agree with everything you say. She asks all the right questions, not leaving me to talk the entire apes soon. I’ve referred her to several people as I truly believe in her approach.“

“My experience has been tremendously more than I could have imagined. It is an experience that any person of any age will benefit from. Gina accommodates all practice levels, from beginning to beyond. Her guidance, support, along with the teachings of not just physical yoga, but for your spiritual senses as well, is just incredible. She is who you want to learn from if you are looking to create peace inside and strength outside. Her classes are fresh and new. Constant learning new variations. Her prices are reasonable, especially if you just want to try it out & see if it’s for you. I am 5 months in and look forward to each class.“

“Tried Yoga for the first time.Enjoyed it immensely.The owner, Roberta, made me welcome right from the start. Within minutes, I was a Yoga person!Very impressive place, absolutely spotless.I will definitely be back.“

“A raindrop session with Debbie feels like a million warm hugs. It was one of the most relaxing and restorative experience in my life.I flew in from NY to Debbie’s studio in Florida to enjoy a Raindrop session and it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a way to relax, unwind and heal.“

“I usually frequent the Thursday night (6:45-8pm) Vinyassa session with Lisa. Always excellent, engaging and varied.“

“Great service, wonderful product line relaxing atmosphere and not over priced Deb rocks!“

“Wonderful! I have gone to Kathy for her yoga classes, both classes and privates, for years! I've gone to other yoga studios here and there but Kathy's is BY FAR the best, and the ONLY place I would go on Long Island! The yoga studio is located in a converted garage in her home - a little yoga oasis with a peaceful atmosphere and relating music upon entering. She is so knowledgeable and has about 40 years experience that she shares with her students. Whether you are more advanced or just a beginner she gears the class toward the needs of those attending, reminding them that there are multiple levels in the class - focus on your own body and not what your neighbor is doing. She has always made me feel extremely comfortable, no matter which level I was at, and there have even been one or two poses which my body just won't allow me to do, so she would give me an alternative to make sure the area of the body we were working on can still benefit. Her years of experience kicks in there! With her help I have grown so much in my yoga practice, which certainly helps as I get older and start to notice new aches and pains which yoga can help! She truly cares for everyone, available to discuss ANY questions afterwards (Over the years I've personally discussed questions about yoga, health concerns, diet options, motivation, etc. where her knowledge and experience was able to contribute and expose me to new options and ideas), and even offers a lending library of books for students who may be interested to read up on any particular topics as they explore yoga and health more deeply. I'll also share that when I first wanted to start yoga I didn't know exactly what I was looking for but that I'd know it when I heard it. I didn't want that "cookie-cutter" and "watered-down" yoga that you might find in gyms... I wanted the real thing. When I called Kathy and asked her about the classes she offers and how they were run, I could tell that she had tons of experience, an organization to her classes, and a personalization in making sure you try a class that's right for you and what you were looking for. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone reading this review and would say to CALL HER and LEAVE A MESSAGE to begin your yoga journey!“

“Lora Anderson is truly the best of the best. Her Acu sessions are more like spa sessions, but don't let that fool you. They work. She also usually adds Kinesiology to the mix! I recommend her to others no less than two times a week!!!“

“I have been going here for 4 months now and this studio has changed my life. Every teacher/class has their own flair and they are all amazing! I also love that the monthy pass works for all 3 locations, so convenient!“

“I walked into Metro in crutches and could barely get out of bed on my own. I just had knee surgery for the first time. Their bedside manner was top-notch. Not only did they have some of the most knowledgeable people working for them but everyone truly cared about my physical recovery as well as my mental as well.“

“My experience at this gym is incredible. From the staff being amazing, from the customer service, and the training they offer. I couldn’t be happier with my experience here. An absolute phenomenal job they do here.“

“Jessica is amazing she truly cares for all of her members and makes the place feel like home away from home“

“I go here every day very good environment and community very helpful and very nice gym and service I n point“

“Only reason im giving this place a 5 and not a 3 is because the staff is awesome.Doesnt have any soft handles and only 1 rope. I dont think its the managers faults but this is pathetic lol. I think people steal the stuff.Either way, expect a busy gym at almost any hour of the day. Expect not to be able to use cable ropes or handles cuz they are usually occupied. Some of the Cable machines are broken so doing chest flies is near impossible.That being said, the maintenance people are friendly and keep the gym pretty clean. The weights are 3/4 racked lol. The one manager is a super cool dude and you can catch him working out at the end of the day. Probably one of the better LA fitness locations on the island next to Patchogue.“
