SLT Back Bay — Local services in Boston

Horrible. My sister, friend and I were in Boston for a weekend and we always love working out at the local lagree studios whenever we’re in a new city and have always had GREAT experiences doing so. Unfortunately, this is the only lagree option in the downtown area and was absolutely not worth our time or money. The instructor Katrina did not even take a minute to greet or speak to us (brand new clients) before the class started, thank goodness we have 4 years of lagree background and know what we are doing. My sister is pregnant and knows all of the proper modifications and was doing them throughout. 20 minutes into the class Katrina asked her why she was modifying, my sister told her she is pregnant and Katrina got legitimately angry at my sister for not informing her prior to class beginning. How was she supposed to do that when we were never spoken to?? My sister was modifying a move that involved twisting (twisting is NOT allowed in pregnancy) and the instructor wrongfully told her she can twist and does not need to modify, could seriously injure a pregnant client! Thank god my sis did not listen and knew what she was doing. Made the rest of the class very uncomfortable. I love lagree but I do not recommend this studio, Boston...

AVOID KATRINA BREWER. I spent over $2,000 at SLT in just a few months, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences of my life. Before joining SLT, I strength-trained on my own, and I wish I had stayed with my own routine instead of getting involved with this studio. There are plenty of boutique studios and gyms in Boston, but if you value your health, well-being, and happiness, this is one to avoid. It has been a deeply regrettable experience, and there are no refunds. Virtual Peloton workouts are far less expensive—and far better for you—than becoming the target of endless gossip and negativity. Walking into this studio felt like stepping into a room more toxic than a garbage dump in Fukushima....

I did this workout almost everyday for 3 months thinking I was going to get long and lean. In the beginning that is what was happening but I think I may have overdid it because my body developed and I got pretty big and muscle-y. (And a huge butt😳.) If that is what your going for you should definitely do this class, but if you are going to get strengthened, lengthened and toned I suggest you go somewhere else or only do it a few times a week. I did not receive the results I was looking for but I’m sure that somebody is looking for...
