From the reviews

So happy to have found Makai. I actually look forward to exercise again. Eden and her team keep workouts exciting and varied which makes each class fun. I seriously think we utilize a new piece of equipment each time! They give great instructions, include modifications, and encourage you throughout each class.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Aug 2024

I’ve been going to Makai fitness for about 2 years now and I love this studio so much. It’s clean and smaller so the instructors can give you proper instruction. I’ve been doing Pilates and Lagree for about 7+ years and this is my favorite studio!

★★★★★ — Viva, Aug 2024

I love Makai! Eden and her team of instructors are kind and understanding! Not only will moves be modified if needed, but classes have intensity levels that you can mix and match to your needs. Also there are separate rooms for the reformer pilates classes, and the mat work.

★★★★★ — Cynthia, Aug 2025

I am so glad to have found this studio. I’ve attended 2 sculpt classes so far with Eden and I look forward to coming again and again! The space is beautiful and clean and Eden is an exceptional instructor.

Teacher training at Makai Fitness - Pilates, Yoga, Wellness

Makai Fitness - Pilates, Yoga, Wellness 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 Makai Fitness - Pilates, Yoga, Wellness

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.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
