Pop Physique

The work out you get isn’t very intense. The few exercises that I did actually feel some burn on were dropped after only 10 or 8 reps for a rest break (there are a lot of those). If you really want to sweat, burn, and get your detox endorphins going, Cardio Barre is a much better option. Pop Physique would really benefit from adding an Advanced level or a Cardio Sculpt. Also, two stars for how dirty the floors here are. People walk through with shoes on tracking in all kinds of stuff, and instructors require you to put your hands on the actual wood floor for some things. Every time I visited I was frequently taken out of my work out zone by stranger hair and for some reason DOG hair sticking to my mat and clothes. Would really appreciate if they took the two minutes to sweep after each class.

This studio is not great compared to the other Pop Physique locations I’ve been to. I feel that barre studios generally tend to be impeccably clean and well organized, but this one could use a little refresh and cleaning (bathroom rug/​studio wood floor were EWW). Also the hand weights are really worn out.
The ballet barre is set up in an interesting way. The front barre along the mirror is set up too closely to the mirror. During barre stretch, I couldn’t point my foot because my foot was literally touching the mirror. I haven’t tried the back barre.
Another drawback is their sound system. I couldn’t tell if this is the speakers or the microphone, but wow their sound system sucks. Maybe I’m too used to the state-​of-​the-​art sound quality at Pure Barre and other studios.
Instructors are great here. I’ve only tried 2 classes here, but both were far above average and I especially liked Ashley W. Fantastic instructor!

I loved this place. I felt physically and mentally challenged (especially with the right instructor). I always looked forward to attending my barre class. The only thing is I could’ve used more changes in the class structure. I got a little bored and hit a plateau. With that being said, I did have unlimited classes and was going about 4 – 5 times/​week so that might have been why. It’s a good class to add to another routine.

Pop Sculpt: awesome class! Super hard and fun!

I was really excited to come try out this class, but quickly realized this was not for me. The workout is comprised of very small movements which did not feel like much of a workout to me personally. Let me caveat by saying that I love places like Barrys Bootcamp, Pulse, Crossfit boxes and Corepower Yoga. This workout felt very casual and not challenging. There was some bar work which could have been way more difficult and when I tried to up the intensity the instructor came and made my movements smaller, in turn way too simple. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get in shape. This place seems to be more about the aesthetics than the actual workout…

I love the concept, I usually get a good workout. really just depends on your workout style that you do best doing. I like the teachers that actually show the steps and do them with you over the ones that tell you the steps, since most of the time I don’t know what they are describing unless I see it. I’d say most of the teachers show the steps which is why I like it here.
Cindy M is my favorite. she’s only there on Mondays.

I’ve been coming for a month now and can already see a difference in my strength, my flexibility and my body. I started with the one month unlimited special for a $ 100 for new clients and went almost every day.
All the instructors are great, the workout is really nice, I love stretching in between the exercises, the music motivating, and the place in itself is really nice and charming.
I always sweat and my muscles always shake like crazy. Never felt my muscles working that much. No need to take heavy weights, the exercises are hard enough !
My favorite instructor is from far Charlie as he always changes the routines so you never get bored from a class to another. He is really attentive to the people in his class, really close to his students as he gets to know your name or asks it if he doesn’t before each class. He is really helpful, always behind everyone to push you and correct your positions if needed. The way he makes his class make you wanna challenge yourself ! I highly recommend him !
Dustin is really good as well, Ellie too, she changes the routines often as well, really really motivates you and corrects your posture when needed, and recently discovered this new instructor Amy and even on her first class she was really nice and attentive to the positions of everyone.
All the other instructors are good as well, I just had more classes with those since my first class with each of them made me wanna come back.
Overall I just wish they were more late classes but other than that, every thing is really great. I love coming here and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone seeking for a great and fun workout you will enjoy to assist !

Overall I love the workout from Pop Physique.
The Good:
–The routine targets every single muscle in your body. I can feel my self get stronger with each class
–In less than a month my butt looked amazing
–The instructors are really great and most of them will introduce themselves and learn everyone’s names
–If you get on their mailing list, they will email out discounted classes packages every so often
–Customer service is amazing. I had to sit out a few weeks due to a foot injury and when I emailed them they happily extended the expiration dates on my classes
The Not So Good:
–It’s street parking only. If you go early in the morning or after 6pm at night — make sure to read the signs. I definitely got a parking ticket by being dumb. During these times the only free parking is a couple blocks away.
–The music can be so loud it drowns out the instructors words. Luckily for me, I know the routine by now, but when I was first learning I had no idea what they were saying a lot of the time.
–They provide mats, but I feel like they purposely make the mats too short so you have to buy their $ 15 grippy socks.
–The merchandise is way too expensive. The shirts are super cute and I would buy every single one if they weren’t $ 45 for a tank top.
–I really wish they had showers.
Dustin kicks my butt the most, and I also love Alisa and Meagan!

Great place. Love the workout. But I wish the instructor didn’t rush though everything so fast. I think she forgot that we are not all professional dancers like herself. Other than that I had a great time, even when I was confused as heck as to what I was doing with all the moves. I need to make more time to go back on a regular basis. Oh! I do wish that the workout incorporated more cardio.

I’ve been coming regularly for nearly a year now and it amazes me how SORE this workout still leaves me! I have seen a noticeable difference even from going just once a week. My favorite thing about Pop Physique is that I have never paid full price for a class. I initially visited with a Groupon deal and was pleasantly surprised to see that once you’re a customer, they regularly send out sales to purchase additional classes for about half the listed price. I previously went to Cardio Barre and loved it, but since there were no discounts after my initial Groupon it just wasn’t sustainable for my budget. Alisa is my favorite instructor, her Sunday morning classes are great. Super challenging workout but you’ll feel so accomplished afterwards!

I’ve been coming regularly for about 4 months and I absolutely love this place. My favorite instructors are Ellie and Alexa but that’s mostly because my schedule has allowed me to take more of their classes than anyone else. The other instructors have also been great I just don’t remember their names.
What to expect:
If it’s your first barre class it may seem a bit awkward but in a few classes you find the groove of the small controlled movements. It’s basically: warm up with leg lifts, planks and dips to start, followed by arms, then thighs at the barre (this part is brutal if done correctly –get your booty low and stay tall on your toes). Next you’ll work your booty either at the barre or on the matt and you’ll end with the best ab sets ever. After you work your abs to complete fatigue you’re DONE and its stretch time!
what to bring:
Don’t worry about a mat, they are provided and if you forget your socks they’ll lend you some, or you can buy a pair of sticky ones for about $ 13.water running low? they have a cooler for you to fill up for free! It doesn’t get better than this folks
Why I love it:
It’s almost always all women. The music and choreography are always different and upbeat. I love that my favorite instructors turn the music way up right at the point when you think you have to release your muscle and give up. This really helps you push through it and make it through (thanks Alexa and Ellie)!
I can’t rave more about this place if I were to only workout at one studio this would be the place. I LOVE Pop Physique.

Classes are pretty good. They have good deals too for packages. If you take it seriously you will get in shape. It is pretty hard classes though. I don’t like that you have to wear socks but i guess that’s not a big deal. Parking is sometimes challenging too as it is street parking. But overall the work out is good. Very low impact.

I’m fairly athletic and in pretty good shape so Pop Physique is something I use more as a «stretch» to loosen up tight muscles, etc.
Having said that, most of the instructor are great and well versed — stumbled into a few classes where it was overly easy but you can truly make anything more difficult.
My only issue with a few of the instructors is that they don’t correct your alignment /​tell you what you’re doing wrong which can lead to injury (Melissa J is great with correcting — she doesn’t hesitate).

Marathon/​half marathon runner here and this is a great cross training exercise. I am an athlete, I’m not flexible nor do I have ballet skills, so for me this is just what I need. My only complaint is that I prefer more abs and arms, less legs and barre but that’s just the structure of the class. It would also be nice to diversify the choreography a little so that people who take this class often can change it up but other than that the facility is nice, instructors are great, music good and energy is on point. Recommended for runners looking for cross training :-)

This workout was great. I am still sore from 2 days ago. Studio is very cute, and everyone working there was nice and helpful. I see a few reviews that say the work out is only good for out of shape people, and I am someone who is just getting back into the groove of working out so this could go for me and anyone who isn’t working out all the time.
BUT I did see some ladies there who frequent the place and had amazing bodies! So I don’t think its fair to say that. It seems like the type of class that you can make as hard or as easy as you want!
It is fast pace, not many breaks, but got me sweating right away. The only thing I wasn’t into was the really loud music, microphoned instructor, and no warm up really. I felt really overwhelmed at first, but want to try it again. Might just be my preference though, I usually do pilates and yoga.

This location has a decent selection of classes. I wish they offered more 8:15pm classes on the weekdays, but thankful they have the ones that they do.
The studio size is good and the classes are averagely filled. My experience with the teachers have all been good so far, too.

This Review is long overdue, I have been coming to POP Physique for a little over half a year now and I could not be happier. I love this studio!
The instructors are great, and if you are looking for a seriously intense workout I suggest trying out there new instructor Charlie on Monday and Wednesday nights.
I highly recommend this studio you will get an amazing workout!

This is the only exercise class that I’ve ever been excited to go to. It tones and works out your whole body with medium cardio level. It’s so fun and encouraging too :)
I’ve finally found the class that is perfect for me!

This class kicked my entire booootaaaaay!!! I was disappointed that the time spent on the barre was only about 10 minutes of the 60 minute class, and what we did had very little to do with ballet and much more to do with kicking my entire booootaaaaay!
That said, I know anyone masochistic enough to commit to this class, will have a BANGING body! Expensive to do regularly (a couple of hundred a month), so if you can find a flash deal for it, do it! You will sweat, your soul will bleed, you will curse at the moon, but it’s a GOOD workout… those heifers!

I went to my first class yesterday with Dustin & I was in SO MUCH PAIN throughout the whole class. It honestly felt longer than one hour. I thought he felt nice and was making it 2 hours, but the class felt extremely long! But boy, did I walk out feeling amazing! During the workout, I wanted to cry, as it was extremely painful. That damn ball… whenever Dustin told us to get our balls, I knew I would hate the exercise. The class incorporated a lot of exercises for strengthening the thighs and arms. At the last 10 – 15 minutes of class, we did a lot of ab workouts as well. It was an all around great workout! The class literally kicked my ass so hard. I fell asleep at 10PM last night because I was so exhausted from the class.
I honestly can’t wait to go back to my next class. They have a new client special for $ 100/​month for unlimited classes. They also have an autopay special for $ 150/​month for unlimited classes. I think the unlimited classes is a bit much for me. I think I’ll probably need a day rest in between classes. I bought a living social deal for 3 classes for $ 20. Even after the first class, I was thinking of when I should start signing up for regular classes.
Let me warn you though. It’s not an easy class AT ALL. I thought it was painstakingly hard, but I’m excited to get stronger. Honestly, when Dustin told me to grab 2 dumbbells 1 pound & 3 pounds I laughed in my head. Boy was I wrong. Go with the 1 & 3 unless you’re extremely strong. That 1 pound destroyed me.
Dustins also a great instructor. He was really motivating and helpful. Whenever my form was off, he’d come over and correct me right away. I liked him so much I don’t know if I want to go to a different instructor…
