I love this location so much, but I wish the parking situation was better. I’m fine validating my parking, but I don’t like having to walk up the parking garage entrance ramp to get to my car. I wish I could walk through the apartment lobby to cut through so it was a little bit safer.
Victory Park has one of the best spaces in the city, the heat always works and there are minimal technical problems, parking is easy and stress free, and it's very close to work so it's convenient.
Most of that has always been the case though, what's changed to put them up over the top for me is the rapid and consistent improvement in the teachers and the class quality!!!
Tess P is one of the best sculpt teachers I've ever worked with in 550+ classes and going on 3 years of coming here- very high intensity which is what is needed in sculpt, and she rivals a lot much more experienced teachers. (Accenting b/c I just took her class, but Carly S, Kiana K, Kaitlyn R, Julie H, are all excellent as well and have raised the quality level in this studio massively). But the key point is it is all about the teachers and giving them the space and ability to succeed
The instructor Julia was great, heat in the room was perfect and the class was challenging. My only issue was a new client who came in 8 minutes late and was directly next to me. She was on her phone typing loudly/scrolling frequently for long periods in the class, not doing the exercises, and it was incredibly distracting. She was even taking selfies during savasana which was incredibly uncomfortable, and then left during savasana making a ton of noise stepping over people. Might just need to reiterate the phone policy, as I am sure I was not the only one thrown off by this. Not my normal experience at this studio though, and not the instructors fault as I understand it can be challenging to address clients like this in class.
I love CP!! The only thing I would change is sometimes when there is a fast turnaround for classes, the room smells so bad. Other than that, love the studio and instructors!
My first instructor here was so informative about store policies and led a very relaxing heated yoga session. Her demeanor encouraged me to continue building health habits in a safe environment like this. Thank you!
Olivia’s YS class was great! I really love how spacious the studios are…tall ceilings, huge windows, and plenty of space for my weights, water bottle, and towels without feeling like I’m invading my neighbor’s space. Everyone is always super friendly, and the studio always has a great positive energy. Also, for a city studio, the attached covered parking is fantastic.
Fantastic class, instructor Claire did a really good job welcoming me in and making me feel right at home. Perfect level of difficulty where you feel pushed and challenged
I really enjoyed the instructors that I take classes with. I love the proximity to my apartment. I love the ease of scheduling and moving times around if I have a last-minute change, I’ve built good relationships with the instructors.
Really helped me get back to a good workout routine, love the different variety of workouts and music. Carrie and Keena always bring it on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and then I find a couple other random workouts that fit my schedule!
