Basement studio (straight past the archery range and down, across from the women's 30HIIT & kickboxing gym) MOVE New West offers a nurturing environment with a focus on dance, yoga and pilates. Relevant for covid safety: space is ventilated by cross draft (doors open at both ends) or AC. Tape marks help keep social distancing and cleaning protocols are good, but you have a good chance of crossing paths with a human. If you aren't ready to leap to being around people yet, their new online classes are extremely encouraging and let you stretch, sweat and shimmy from the safe isolation of your home

I've been going here for 2 months and have been extremely happy. It's a welcoming studio with a great class selection and knowledgeable, energetic instructors and students from a mix of ages and fitness levels. The pricing is very reasonable, worth every penny (the two week intro pass was a great deal!). Jenni works hard to get to know the students and bring a feeling of community to the studio. She and Sam have kicked my butt into getting more fit every class. I would recommend this place to anyone, from fellow beginners to experienced fit folks.
