The Balance Loft

Just left my first class at The Balance Loft and it. was. INCREDIBLE. Kelly taught an amazing intuitive flow that the perfect balance of mind, body, and soul. 10/10, 100% would recommend this studio to anyone, new or seasoned yogis alike. My body feels amazing (thanks infrared heat!) and my mind feels even better..I cannot wait to go back ud83dudd49ud83dude4fud83cudffbud83dudcff

I've been to 4 classes so far and will continue to attend. I love the energy, the space, and the instructors. Hot yoga detox is just about the most relaxing experience I've had in a long time. The heat is great. It's very dry and it makes you feel warmed from the inside out. You get a little sweaty, but you don't feel stung out. Barre is hard (isn't it meant to be?), but it isn't too hard and there are modifications you can make and still get all the benefits from the class. I'm a marshmallow and haven't worked out in 2 years due to going back to school, so if I can do it, anyone can. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try barre or hot yoga. I also love supporting small, local businesses and would rather go somewhere where I can get personal attention from an instructor who is invested in my workout rather than a chain where I'm just one of many.

The Balance Loft is hands down my favorite Barre studio in the area. Not only is the studio beautiful and always clean, the environment is warm and welcoming. And Kelly is an absolutely excellent instructor. She is engaging, extremely knowledgeable, offers explanations, adjustments, modifications and always makes sure that no one is left out or left behind! Classes have an intimate feel, no matter the size and the sense of comradery is always apparent. Classes may kick your butt, but we are all in this together!nI love this studio and the people who teach there, it is definitely one of downtown Troy's gems!

Kelly's barre classes at the Balance Loft are some of the best fitness classes I have taken, ever. They are high energy and the level of personal attention I've received has been amazing. Unlike other barre classes, each class is very different and blends functional training in with classic barre moves, which I haven't found elsewhere. With 1-2 classes/week, I feel like I'm getting into the best shape of my life.nnAlso, stepping into the studio feels like a luxury/escape/place you love being in and the downtown Troy location is convenient...this plus the quality of the classes makes it beyond well worth paying a little more than you would pay for a run-of-the-mill gym in the area. Highly recommended!

The place gets 5 stars for Atmosphere and Energy! Been a client for 1 year now and have achieved amazing results from the variations of Yoga and Barre, with variations from bands, weights, and Pilates. You wont find a better studio in the entire capital district. The soft floor, infrared heat and sound help keep you motivated for results!
