The Two-Week - Fourteen Days New Member Special is for fourteen "consecutive" days. Unless you're prepared to go every day for fourteen days, you will most likely not get fourteen days. I did not get a full fourteen days because it was just not worth attending pre-recorded audio yoga classes for fourteen days in a row at a yoga studio.
It's a great studio if you live nearby and need quick options for a quick workout. If you're a Yogi like me, you'll be disappointed with the "Pre-Recorded Audio Only" Verbal Lessons/Instructions. The young Yoga teachers themselves do not deliver the lessons verbally. They walk around, give hands-on, or join in at the front of the class. They don't understand that verbally giving students directions, instructions, and guidance elements themselves enhances and develops their own ability to interact and engage with students, and become better teachers in their craft. These pre-recorded audio-only verbal Instructions will also eliminate their jobs. Additionally, the Diamond+ Slow Flow Deep Stretch Class is another pre-recorded audio-only instruction class, based on a Bikram/Hatha 26 Posture sequence, condensed to 45 minutes. I wanted to give a higher review because the studio is nice, and some staff were proactive. I also want the young teachers to understand that not providing verbal lessons and guidance themselves is likely to end their careers and limit their experiences in becoming excellent Yoga teachers. I genuinely hope you get this and create and teach your...

I started at Arrichion about 2 years ago when a friend of mine gave me her soon-expiring groupon just before she left for vacation. I went to a few classes, and discovered quickly that not only did I like the challenge, and the fact that it gave me a chance to get in my own head and compete against myself, it also made me a better all-around athlete.
I'm primarily a cyclist, and yoga has helped me to be more flexible on the bike (which means I can get tucked into the drops just a little tighter, and have no back pain after a 4-6 hour ride). I've also dropped a bunch of weight since joining, and have gotten lots stronger, thanks to the group weightlifting and circuit classes offered at Arrichion.
This is all not to mention the people there. The gym is run by the friendliest, most accepting, down-to-earth group you'll ever meet. They'll work with you to help you get better and stronger at everything you do. From elite endurance athletes to triathletes to dancers to hobbiests to runners and people just trying to get into shape, there's so many great people at Arrichion, you'll wonder why you wasted your time NOT going there before.
It's a game changer, and a life changer. You won't want to stop. I haven't, some 200 classes later. And I'll be...
Read moreI've been going to Arrichion Hot Yoga almost every day for the past 3 years. I never imagined I would find a yoga studio that offered a wide variety of classes along with circuit and weight training that pushed me every day, combined with teachers always willing to challenge and support me, and members with whom I would grow close and eventually call true friends. After my first few classes at Arrichion, I knew that I had finally found all three.
The atmosphere created by the teachers and members stands out the most and is unlike any other yoga studio I have ever attended. Each day, you can come as you are and know that you will be surrounded by good people encouraging you to help reach your personal fitness goals, whatever they may be. The workouts are intense and the class schedule is set up in a way that offers a wide range of classes at different times throughout the day to accommodate all types of home and work schedules. Of the core classes that I take Monday through Saturday, each one is different than the other and getting to the studio at some point is never an issue, even with a busy schedule and two small kids at home.
My physical and mental health have never been better. I'm actually stronger today in my late 30s than I was in my early 20s and am excited about what goals I will reach next. I'm thankful every day that Arrichion is such an integral...
