From the reviews
First time ever doing Pilates. I took a 9am Hot Pilates class on a Sunday. The class was full but there will still spots available to put down my mat. The room was warm and the lights were low. The instructor did such a great job of explaining the moves and I was able to keep up with everyone as a newbie.
The environment is so welcoming for anyone who is new, has a lot of experience, or just trying to experiment with Pilates. The workouts are simple enough and if you ever get overheated or can’t do an exercise you can take a break or step out with no judgement.
I’ve been a part of body alive on & off for the past 5 years, while living in Cincinnati. I’ve been enjoying coming to BA Westside so much!! The instructors are so fun & exciting and staff is super friendly when welcoming you. The classes fluctuate pretty diversely each week. I strongly suggest giving BA a try!
I have had a GREAT experience at Body Alive Westside! The studio is always clean! The staff very helpful and supportive! Shout out to Mariah! ~ She is really intentional before, during and after workouts! She is super focused on our form and is very clear and concise during class!
Teacher training at Body Alive West Side
Body Alive West Side comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Body Alive West Side
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
