YogaSix Milwaukee — Local services in Milwaukee

Updated Review - January 2020 A year later, we’ve re-upped on our Annual Membership deal for YogaSix. We are continuing to enjoy our membership there, as well as all of the studio perks. We’ve branched out to some other classes, including Y6 Slow Flow and Y6 Sculpt & Flow. I feel with the return to YogaSix from Yoga Squad, the classes and variety have improved. The instructors continue to be excellent and engaging, making classes enjoyable. The studio has added more specialty one-off classes such as arm balance workshops, which is great to see.

We continue to mostly take Hot Yoga classes, now referred to as “Y6 Hot”, which some of the instructors have done a nice job of adding their own spin on. The sequence is still the same, but it is always awesome to switch it up a little! This is a good class for beginners and experienced yogis.

Y6 Slow Flow is a great option for beginners or those looking for a little more stretch. The sequences change each class and with each instructor, which is nice. The Y6 Sculpt & Flow has been fun and challenging to try. It’s definitely more of a cardio/fitness class than the other options, incorporating free weights and more challenging sequences. If you’re looking for a class that will leave you sore for days, this is it! The Y6 Power is great as well – this is probably my favorite option, with a lot of variety and more of a vinyasa style. The only class we haven’t tried is the Y6 Restore.

I do still wish the weeknight schedule was a little more varied as the Y6 Hot can be a little repetitive, but we’ve tried to change up our schedule a little to attend more of the other class options. Regardless of your yoga style or if you’re a beginner/experienced, you’ll find something enjoyable at YogaSix.

Original Review - December 2018 We have been attending classes at Yoga Squad (formerly known as Yoga Six) for a couple of weeks now. We were looking for a new studio after our old one changed their schedule and things just weren’t compatible with going there anymore. After going to one studio for two years, we were hesitant to commit to another so soon, but Yoga Squad lured us in with their fantastic deal of $799 for a year of classes (sadly this was a limited-time option but maybe it will be back).

The studio itself is bright and modern. The facilities are phenomenal; two spacious, heated practice rooms, plenty of merchandise, yoga clothes and accessories, etc. for purchase in the entry area, and something that sets this studio apart from others – beautiful, modern, and fully-stocked locker rooms. The free lockers have temporary lock codes available, there are showers, as well as any of the toiletries one might forget. The locker rooms are extremely impressive, and easily the best we’ve seen at a yoga studio.

The schedule is excellent as well. There is a wide variety of classes available, and the class schedule runs throughout the day, including on the weekends (another rare find). So far, we have just been taking Hot Yoga classes, which have been pleasant. The only downside would be the format of the class is always the same; instructors may tweak the routine; however, they are all the same flow. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but more variety would be nice. Presumably the other classes (such as Vinyasa and Yoga Sculpt) have more variety, so we plan to take those as well. The instructors are all very helpful and friendly. Students are able to sign up for classes online ahead of time, through Yoga Squad’s application or Mind Body. I always appreciate being able to plan ahead with being able to sign up for classes in advance.

The only downside is parking (of course) as there is no lot and only street parking. Depending on the time of day, Prospect Avenue can be pretty busy so it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead. We have found success parking in the nearby neighborhoods, so this hasn’t been...

I've been going to Yoga Six for several months now, after getting hooked through a Groupon. I purchased the 2 months of unlimited yoga Groupon for a very reasonable price and decided to really take advantage of it. The space itself is really fresh, clean and inviting. They have everyone take off their shoes before heading upstairs to the lockers and studios, which keeps the studios themselves very nice.

They have a number of different classes, many of which are heated, with varied times for each. During the week classes are spread out between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM. While weekend classes run from 8:30 AM to noon, usually. There are lots of different teachers to choose from, so you can really find the teaching style and class that will be a good fit for you. All of the regular teachers are well-versed and personable. I've asked several teachers to help with specific things before or after class, and they are always willing to give extra guidance. Most of the teachers are also very helpful with hands-on adjustments. But they will certainly honor your space as well if you prefer not to be touched. Also, music plays during every class; the teachers all play their own playlists, which go along well with whatever class you're attending. Going back to the heated classes, this may be my only complaint - sometimes the heating isn't quite right and a class that wasn't supposed to be heated ends up being overly warm and one that is supposed to be heated ends up cooling down half way through.

I highly recommend the monthly unlimited membership, as it is really easy to get your money's worth. But, if you know you're only going to go a few times a month, they have memberships for 4x a month and class cards. Also, if you are new to yoga six, they have $20 of unlimited for a week or you can do a Groupon (great option!) They will walk you through everything you need to know when you arrive for your first class. If you don't know which class to start with, they are also really good about answering the phone and taking questions. Though this studio is a chain in the States, it certainly feels local with the many things they do to bring the community together like monthly challenges and workshops. If you're looking to start somewhere, Yoga Six is...

I really enjoyed the Power, Sculpt & Flow, and Hot classes during my couple months practicing at YogaSix. There are some really wonderful instructors like Katie and Mary, and the staff/assistant manager are really welcoming at the front desk. Their class pack pricing makes practicing from out of town very practical, too.

I had some unfortunate interactions with upper management regarding membership cancellation. They charged me a full membership fee for a month when I was to be out of town, despite my giving them more than a week prior notice. This left me with the impression that YogaSix is more interested in a short-term financial gain, rather than a long-term relationship with a client. They did not budge on the policy of providing a month of prior notice before cancelling membership, and they will not offer you a refund, regardless of your...
