Flight Room Central District — Local services in Seattle

I've been attending classes for almost 4 months, 2 to 3 times a week at all the locations with a variety of instructors. According to my bmi, I am morbidly obese but with the exception of 1 instructor I have always felt very comfortable in the classes, aka no fat shaming vibes. It is great to go to a place and not feel fat shamed. I am actually fairly athletic despite my size. I weigh in at 220 lbs! I have been struggling with a tail bone injury and post covid vaccine neuropathy in one of my legs that has caused numbness, muscle instability, balance issues and often what seems like partial paralysis. I attended pt and had a bad experience so I decided to try hammock yoga to supplement my yoga practice at home. I'm in love with hammock yoga, it provides alternatives for me to be able to safely stretch and it has nearly solved all my neuropathy issues. My back, neck, and jaw pain which I have had my entire life are gone. My flexibility and strength are improving and I feel amazing. I know that I am not able to do all the movement with ease like a lot of other folks but instructors have helped me find alternatives and have given tips and tricks for me to be able to get into poses. I can't wait to continue to grow and lose some weight so I can be able to do some movements that my weight definitely impacts. I thought I was going to suffer with this neuropathy forever and this practice has saved me from...

Edit: I’ve decided to reconsider my rushed review based on the response I got from the studio about my situation and my objective opinion on it!

As I am closing in on my first month here and have had classes with over three different instructors I want to say that they all did amazing at teaching fun, appropriately challenging beginner level classes!

I like that the studio has soft floors and no need to carry a mat. Every time the hammocks have smelled of being washed and that is very relieving especially at this pandemic time.

My wish would be if the studio had better ventilation, temperature/humidity control. It’s a bit too hot and humid now in the summer.

I am considering continuing for another month.

Old review:

I have been to four or five amazing classes the past month. I submitted all their required checks for vaccination and everything. Attended class previously without a mask because of this. I show up today 20 minutes early to class today and they are telling me I have to wear a mask if I don’t show them a picture of the record right there and then. They have no masks available on premises. I was eventually able to find a picture of my vaccination record but after this whole misunderstanding I felt too livid to attend a yoga class. They need to sort out their stuff if they want people to take...

First, the instructor (Theresa) was spectacular! It was myself and three friends for our first-ever aerial yoga class (is that what it's called?) The space is clean, inviting and relaxing. Theresa's energy, enthusiasm and guidance was top-notch; the perfect balance of having you feel comfortable and safe, while still laughing and playing as you swing from these fabric things. We were promptly welcomed and felt very cared for.

However, the reason for a "good" rating (instead of epic), is that I left behind a shirt, and I realized it after the class. There was no phone number to call the studio, just email and a number to text (this is not customer-centric in my opinion). Further, I didn't receive a text back until half way through the next day - when I did, it was something like "our lost and founds box is full of stuff, come back and look if its here". Frankly, the shirt cost more than a membership, so what would've made a difference for me was a more considerate, thoughtful and supportive response. Having that person text/call the on-site instructor to confirm if it was there would've put my mind at ease big time. Otherwise, I needed (and did), drive all the way across town to check if it was there. Luckily, it was! Woohoo! But it was just a poor...
