  Overall, my experience with Fire Shaper was okay! The most important aspect of the experience, they have covered... their instructors were consistently excellent and their schedule is easy to access through multiple forms of technology... website, app, or phone. I was new to hot yoga and tried it consistently for 4 months. I decided to stop because it was too expensive for only receiving one type of workout. In a gym, you would pay a fraction of the cost and have a choice with classes or cardio. I had a few disappointments that I couldn't ignore. - Although they appear to really embrace the whole yogi lifestyle... the "less is more" mentality, however, even with charging a monthly rate of $135, they will charge you for EVERYTHING. If you forgot a towel, it's $1, if you need water, it's $2, if you need a mat, it's more. - They didn't have a water fountain. How can a fitness facility, especially holding classes in over 100 degrees not have a water fountain? Pretty much you have to BUY a plastic water bottle if you need water. This upset the yogi in me. - They didn't cap their classes. I would always try to arrive 10-15 minutes beforehand to setup my space and relax in the room. If more people arrived, they were relentless on asking you to "squish in". At one point, I counted over 40 people in the room. When your neighbor is literally sweating on your mat, the experience is ruined. If this was a free class, I would understand, but each person is paying quite a bit to be there. - Although the actual studio was spacious, the lobby and bathrooms were too cramped. Sure, they have two bathrooms and a separate shower, but there's no locker room. Essentially after class, you either had to be extra aggressive to get a bathroom or had to wait around, dripping in sweat, in order to have a chance to change. This aspect of the experience wasn't enjoyable. The best parts of this facility are the instructors. I had some great yoga sessions, but it wasn't worth the money to me.

  Word is getting around about this place. Maybe its karma for the horrible owners. They are not good people. Not ANYTHING that yoga should be about. I have a very strong yoga practice. If you are a man in good shape they will tell you "leave your ego at the door". Is this to make room for "doctor Johns"? they tend to discriminate against certain people for whatever their reason. If your an attractive woman? watch out!! it doesn't matter _ the minute you walk in the door Natalie will find a way to make snide comments. They ARE happy to welcome new MONEY and have flooded the internet with a variety of Fireshaper links. I hope they can't bury this one. Way have the reviews form Yelp been taken down? The are trying their luck in the owners hometown in Australia. Trying to create an allure of this being a wonderful company. They want money. As John says , pops Dr. John, he is living the life of dreams. DON'T GIVE YTHEM ONE MORE DIME
