If you’re a complete newbie like me, do NOT book your first free class with Lexi. My son and I were beyond excited to try our first class. We had done floor Pilates before but had never used a reformer machine. It was a complete foreign object that was very intimidating to someone who had never been near one before. When we walked in, I made sure and let her know that we had never done this before. The “welcoming vibe” was set to extremely low, so that should’ve been my first clue. She told us to pick any machine, so we picked two next to each other. We got there early enough that we were the first two people there. Lexi proceeded to go to the back, chat a little bit with one lady that had arrived, walk around, turn on the music, then finally came and sat down between us to “explain” the machine. There are about 10 objects laying inside the machine that we got no guidance on what to use them for. She told us to just be listening for her to shout out what we would need to use on the machine and look left and right at our neighbors to see how to do what she was calling out to do. There was no “walking us” through the machine or how to actually use the dang thing. Just “here’s the foot board, there’s the straps, and hold on to the bar when you stand up”. Not even an instruction on HOW to lay down on it! We looked at each other like “what the hell did we just sign up for”? So the class begins. She laid on a machine that was behind us, said “grab your round hoop” (which was never even mentioned in the so called orientation), put your feet in the straps, put the hoop on your ankles, and pull!” I’m still trying to figure out how to lay down on it, wondering how in the hell am I going to get both feet in a strap that is literally behind my head while looking backwards to see what she’s doing. I got so dizzy and frustrated, I look over at my son and he’s just as confused as I am. I sit up and tell him. “I can’t do this”. She’s going 90 to nothing on with her class of “well educated” people who have obviously been taking these classes for a while. I stand up in frustration and am so beyond embarrassed that we begin to grab our things and leave. THEN she gets up and decides it’s time to ask if we’re ok. Oh NOW you wanna teach a new person?!? I just wanted to laugh in her face. Absolutely no! We’re not ok!! There was nothing in the way of instructions for a new person from the actual INSTRUCTOR!! It was humiliating and on top of that, I wasted 40$ on non slip SOCKS that you have to buy there. I was about to pay these people a monthly membership for both myself and my son, but not after that TOTAL lack of consideration for our inexperience. Of which she was very aware of. She behaved with such an attitude of superiority that it only reinforced WHY I dislike working out in front of others, and why I’ll never try this again. I felt like a complete fool. We both did. Offer a BEGINNERS class for god’s sake! Or if you KNOW that it is someone’s first time; actually spend some time showing them how to use the machine. That experience felt like the complete opposite of someone CARING about HELPING us succeed. It was absolutely ONE of the most embarrassing and humiliating moments of my life. That may sound dramatic to some, but when you’re someone who is already struggling with her weight and wanting desperately to find something that will help my entire body, the last thing I needed was to...

I almost don’t want to write this review because I’m afraid to let the secret out and make it harder for me to get into the classes each day!! I found Neaumix in late 2020 when gyms were permitted to open again due to my long-time Pilates studio shutting its doors.

I knew that anywhere Lexi Luciano would be teaching was exactly where I needed to be.

Since September 2020 I have logged about the same number of classes as there are days!! Not only did I get Lexi back into my life and to help me shed the 2020 excess and re-tone my muscles, I gained so much more.

I added spin to my routine - something I previously loathed but now I love. I’ve made a whole group of new Neaumix friends and I’ve finally found a place, people, teachers and challenge to make me WANT to get up and get my sweat on every day rather than having to talk myself into it.

It’s just big enough to not feel awkward and small enough to get the focus necessary to make it worthwhile. We laugh AND sweat each and every class and everyone is nice, welcoming and non judgmental. Every class welcomes every kind of person with open arms - men, women, pregnancy, post-partum, you and old. It’s pretty awesome.

I just finished my 44th Neaumix class in 37 days (Melissa’s spin/Pilates killer combo). My goal was to try and make it to a class a day in January and then allow myself a break but I didn’t want the break once the month was done.

Kudos to Becky, Melissa, Lexi, Lauren, Michelle, Stacy, Stephanie, Cezie, Elbe, Berna, Elisa and Sara for creating such a special place for so many of us in a sea of gym options in Orange County. I’ve tried A LOT of Pilates studios in OC over the past 20 years and I would recommend this one over any of the...

I LOVE Neaumix Fit!

I was looking for something different after attending Core Power for a year and I came across this studio that offered a variety of different fitness classes. I took my first class with Jenn and she was super sweet and helpful. She took the extra time to make sure I had proper form and felt comfortable on my reformer.

I have been with Neumix Fit for a couple months now and I LOVE Melissa, Heather, Jenn and all the gals that I have taken a class with. Melissa the owner is HILARIOUS and her classes are always booked but with good reason! She really cares about her studio and clients and it shows.

They mix up the classes every few weeks based on clients requests. So they are always adding in new classes to try. You do need to book in advance and reserve your spot. I love this business practice because it holds me accountable to be in class at 6am and not miss out! If there is a waitlist, most times you can get in because peoples schedule changes.

I feel the bad review on here isn't a true representation of the studio. I feel like the clients that have been here will tell you those are one offs and their experience has been completely different, including my own.

Would definitely recommend this to family and friends with different fitness levels and goals. They have a class...
