Fast growing, great culture

Pros

The company is growing rapidly, and because it's still a lean operation there is a lot of opportunity to take on more and learn by doing! Everyone here has a strong passion for the brand and a great attitude. A huge perk is that employees take class for free, which creates a really healthy and fun work environment.

Cons

Our studios are open every day of the year, so in support of our studios and staff we are dedicated to checking in and being available every day. While that might seem challenging for some people, it feels natural when you love what you do!

Pros

The company has an awesome culture and really promotes the health and happiness of both their employees and their clients.

Cons

We are a very young company and with that comes a lot of trial and error. We could be more advanced with our procedures and technologies.

Toxic, cult-like environment

Pros

I loved the perks of discounted merch, free classes, and getting to know awesome customers over time.

Cons

The manager and assistant manager were bullies. Popular teachers were put on a pedestal and praised to the point where they transcended the rules. If I upheld the rules from the training I received in a situation in which a popular teacher wanted me to bend rules for them, I would actually get in trouble for it. It was a clique, so if you were outside it, it was pretty miserable.
