My opinion:
The whole place bright and new looking. However, the furnishing used IKEA items and some ubiquitous contractor built in furniture so there isn’t much unique factor to it, somewhat like a typical renovated room of a modern condominium/ flat. The changing room was big enough for comfort and I like how their lockers do not require bringing my own lock. Toiletries and stuff like cotton pads and buds are provided for everyone, which is very thoughtful. However, the lack of a toilet within the studio is a drawback.
The yoga room had laminated flooring which will be noisy when people step around but it’s not a big problem. What I did not agree with was the very limited flow classes on the schedule, with no Hot Flow at all! Vinyasa was only available 4 times a week. The classes they are more towards the basics and beginner’s level, and that could be due to the level most of their customers are at right now, since Vinyasa Flow and Hot Flow are typically for intermediate practioners. In a way this studio doesn’t suit me but it could be great for beginners.
Pros: Good mats, well maintained studio, good facilities.
Cons: Limited flow classes, classes not strong enough, penalty for no show/ late cancellation.
