R-evolution

Do you find crowded, enclosed areas relaxing? Do you enjoy being talked down to by receptionists, one after the other? Is your idea of a fun weekend afternoon circling up 4 – 5 flights of a mall garage, looking desperately for parking? If so, R-​evolution is the studio for you!
My friend and I wanted to try out the reformer class on a Saturday afternoon. It was our first time going and we could not find it, thanks in part to the wrong location provided on the studio’s own website. The map directed us to one end of Vivo City mall, when in fact the actual location is on the other end.
If you have ever been to Vivo City, then you know it is a behemoth mall jam-​packed with masses of people on the weekend. Good luck pushing your way from one end to the other.
We arrived about 10 minutes late and were told by the staff that they would not let us attend the class. Since we had driven for 35 mins just to get there, we asked them to at least check with the instructor. They refused.
They helpfully told us that we should have known because their policy is stated on their website. We booked the class through Guavapass which made no mention of this policy. We were told that this is our problem and not theirs.
Another staff member felt she needed to pile on and came over to tell us that directions are on their website. I showed her on my phone that their own map is wrong. She grabbed my phone from me and scrolled down several pages before coming to the directions. What an idiot I am for assuming that the first map was accurate — I should have known I needed to scroll down several times to get to the true directions.
A week later, I see that the studio has decided to bill me $ 20 for «missing» the class — a penalty for wasting THEIR time.
I later spoke with a friend about this experience and she assured me I didn’t miss much — the facilities are dirty and poorly ventilated (she could smell other people) and the instruction is third-​rate.

Just about finished with week 3 of a 1 month unlimited trial and I am really pleased with R-​evolution. I have mainly been taking Pilates and yoga. The teachers are very professional and experts in what they teach. They all seem to also be experts in muscular anatomy. Because has been only open since January the classes are small and the teachers really give you a lot of personal attention. They all ask if you have former injuries or areas to watch and they really help make sure you work to strengthen the needed areas and make sure your form does not cause you to further you weakness. You get a massage with the 1 month unlimited and the masseuse Belle was fantastic. She knew with her hands exactly where I was tight. I didn’t need to tell her. She knows a lot about acupressure and uses it. I have gone back for several more times and made my husband go to her also.
