Hopping Around With StudioHop
Hey, Y’all!
Last month I challenged myself to try some fun/ more unique StudioHop Classes to get ready for the beach and boy was it a challenge! I knew this would push me physically but I had no idea how much trying a new class can challenge you mentally. Going into a new place, trying out something athletic that I have never done before, and just navigating through a different gym all gave me more anxiety than I imagined BUT it was extremely rewarding once I was finished with the challenge. Post Challenge, I wanted to share a little more about the classes I tried AND give y’all a promo code if you are interested in trying out some new classes!
The Ridehouse
Level: Beginner Friendly | Vibes: Fun Upbeat | Equipment Needed: Spin Shoes (They Have them to rent)
This class is always a great time and has become one of my favorite go-to’s!
It is seriously a dance party on wheels. If you have not been you have to go checkout one of their many “themed” rides asap!
Hip-Hop Flow (We Yogi)
Level: Intermediate- Advanced | Vibes: Yoga meets Post Malone | Equipment Needed: Yoga Mat (They Have them to rent)
This one is hard to review because it was my very first yoga class and it was a few notches above a beginner.
If you are already into the yoga scene this is a must! The hip-hop music was still very laid back and the beat gave it more of an energizing atmosphere versus traditional yoga. Once I get some yoga skills I am on my way back!
Pure Barre
Level: Beginner Friendly | Vibes: Energizing Challenging | Equipment Needed: Sticky Socks
I had never done a barre classes before so I really went into this one blind. It turned out to be a lot of fun! It is basically tiny movement that take your muscles to burnout (when I first heard tiny movements I thought easy and boy was I wrong). This is one of those classes you definitely feel the next day and they accommodate every fitness level.
Ballet Burn
Level: Beginner Friendly | Vibes: Fun/High Energy | Equipment Needed: None
This might have been my favorite class to try! I really do not know how to describe it at all. Pilates, meets yoga, with dance/ ballet technique? Not having the most poise and dance skills I was very nervous to try this class out and it turned out to be a fav! The owner was very friendly and made you feel right at home. If something was a little more advanced she was quick to instruct the newbies on what they could do as an alternative. If you are looking for a unique total body experience this is a great option!
Studio 6
Level: Beginner Intermediate | Vibes: Challenging/Upbeat | Equipment Needed: Sticky Socks (They Have them to rent)
I did the “Megaformer” class and it was an awesome high energy workout that focuses on total body fitness. I have only been the one time and would advise any beginners to get there early to learn a little bit about the machine before just hoping into a 50 min class (basically learn from my mistakes…). I have
Edge Fitness
Level: Beginner/Intermediate | Vibes: Challenging/ Fast Pace | Equipment Needed: None
This HIIT Class is one of my go-to’s. It is only a 30 minute class but it packs a punch. Perfect for anyone on the go!
Here is a video about how the workout works:
