“Let me start by giving some background information. I LOVE YOGA! I've been doing yoga well over a decade and only wish I had found it earlier in my life. I earned by 200 hours teacher certification about 3 years ago from a wonderful local studio. I lived at that studio for a year, going to class 5 days a week. Then COVID. The studio went virtual and 3 things happened - I got used to the convenience of doing yoga at home, I redecorated and made my own home studio, and the local studio stopped offering the classes I loved while discontinuing their virtual classes. On top of this, I had shoulder surgery in Dec. 2020 and then spent all of 2022 struggling with issues resulting from the surgery. So yoga has been difficult to find and only available to me part of the year. Once yoga studios opened as pandemic restrictions eased, I began my search for studios that offered virtual classes at times I wanted them that didn't cost to much. I tried SO MANY one month trial memberships. I found a few that were OK, but the pricing was high, the style of yoga not my favorite, or the class times were inconvenient or too infrequent. I had been looking in Central Ohio - and then looked in Cleveland - and finally started on Toledo. ENTER TOLEDO YOGA!Toledo Yoga was the first studio in the NW Ohio area I had tried. Their calendar looked very promising, offering SO MANY CLASSES throughout the day. Bonus - power yoga was offered during the week at 5:30 - the perfect time for me! I work from home and log into work from 7 AM - 5 PM or so. I want my yoga class to start before 6:30 and 5:30 is ideal. The Friday class is 4:30, but that works out fine. By then, my brain is fried on work and I'm ready to have some fun - and Conni's classes are always great. The one thing I don't absolutely love is the yoga is based on Baptiste yoga. I was trained in Vinyasa style with a focus on Ashtanga (which I really dislike), so at least Baptiste is accessible to me whereas there was so much in Ashtanga I could not do (or do well). HOWEVER, the flows always vary and each instructor puts their own twist on the format and always comes up with something fresh and interesting.On Saturday morning, I started my day with getting my butt kicked by Gi and her sculpt class. And this week I also enjoyed the 9 AM power class and have also taken the 11 AM. Sunday I have fallen in love with the flow class with Nada. Her amazing cues and long held poses is often akin to a yin class.Finally - Toledo Yoga uses Zoom. I've tried other studios that use other platforms - the worst being the Mindybody livestream. I would have joined a prior studio I tried by I hated the Mindbody experience. It didn't work on most of my devices and the instructors didn't know how to use it. Just painful classes with messed up visuals. AND the frosting on the cake - the virtual membership is SO AFFORDABLE! Added bonus - there is a huge online library of on-demand classes you have access to. The ONE time the studio's Zoom stream failed, I quickly pivoted and did a recorded class online instead.If I haven't convinced you this is an awesome value and so worth a try - I'm not sure this is the studio for you! I would have settled for so much less - but I did have to. Thank Toledo Yoga and all your wonderful instructors!!“
“The Yin/Sound Bath class was amazing. That was the first time that I have done both Yin and Sound Bath and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also noticed a remarkable difference in the way that I felt the next day - much more clear headed and focused. I'm plan to attend more classes!“
“Great studio, very friendly staff, class sizes are great you don't feel like you are going to trip over anyone. The locker rooms are clean and with enough space for everyone to put stuff up.“
“The new equipments are top tiers and the stuff are very good quality and easy to use and fun to use! Probably gonna use them every time! :)LOVE IT ?“
“I came in and brought my daughter with me . The front desk staff are amazing and friendly!! The friendliest gym people ever ! I’m a fitness competitor, and esporta , formally LA fitness is typically known to be a “lifter” gym. That being said they are always so welcoming and supportive. We even shot hoops on the court both days , the men playing a half court game were super respectful both days. This gym really does have it all and I’m happy to make the drive from BG to central ave to have the hospitality and the amount of options this gym offers ❤️??“
“My daughters have been attending this studio for three years now. I love how the staff genuinely cares for each and every student. My girls participate with tumbling, tap, ballet, singing, and piano lessons with Miss Jennie. My 8 year old had her first year of singing lessons per her request. She stood up and sang in the recital this year. She was nervous but Miss Jennie worked with and gave her the encouragement to do this and she did so well. I have seen both of my girls excel and their confidence grow so much since they’ve been at this studio. Without reservation, I always recommend this studio to my friends and family.“
