Bikram Yoga – Mainline

I have been coming to this studio since it opened. I decided in the new year to get back to it and focus on myself. Which is exactly what this yoga and 90 minutes are for. It’s like nothing you have ever experienced. In fact it’s a love hate relationship. Actually it’s not but it’s not easy but the after effects are pretty incredible.
This yoga is about ‘you’, listening and finding inner peace and strength.
Every instructor is unique and has something to offer you each and every time you go. So it’s important to try different times.
I come early to collect my thoughts and brace myself for the 90 minutes. People are friendly. I’d give this place five stars if it had showers. Give it a try and you have to do it more than once. The $ 20 weekly challenge is the best way to roll. Erin the owner is welcoming and inspiring.

Place is above average, yoga room is really good but the energy and the instructors are some of the best. People are very nice also. They are some of the best I’ve seen, been pushed by ! I’m definitely committed. Again — I had 2 different instructors, they were different from each other but both extremely well trained and very very good. If you’re thinking about going … Do

I’ve wanted to try Bikram yoga for a long time, and when a friend invited me to go here with her, I was happy to try it out. I had no problems with parking, the studio is well located and the space has nice natural lighting. I disagree with the other reviewers who claim the studio is dirty– I found it generally clean, though the workout room did have a rather sharp smell– like dirty feet. But– you got used to that quickly. I’m giving it 2 stars against my better judgment. The problem I had was with the instruction. Perhaps the instructor (Leo) had an «off» day, but I found his attitude to be very rude and off putting from the moment I walked in. Reading several other Unilocal reviews on here, it seems that’s his SOP.

Great Bikram studio but parking might be a challenge if you’re cutting it close to class time.
I used to take classes here as I used to work out in Malvern. This place was a bit challenging to find at first since it’s a little off the major road but not a big issue.
Once you’re in the building, the check-​in is right by the door. The changing rooms are a bit small and no showers but teachers here are so nice, welcoming to new students and always accommodating. The studio is large and clean.
The studio offers really good intro courses to try it out for a week.
I’d definitely would return if I was out in the area more often.

I come to this studio whenever I am in town for work. They have a good variety of class schedules. Parking is a little weird but it isn’t that difficult to find parking. Because I only come to the studio during my 2 – 3 trips to PA per year, I have to pay the $ 17 drop in class fee. I hate that I can’t buy a package that has to be used within 3 months. It annoys me that when studios force you to use your classes within a prescribed period. I supplement my gym membership with bikram yoga, so I don’t go as often. The studio I go to in Phoenix doesn’t let the class packages expire. I LOVE that.
Kind of weird that there aren’t showers given the workout. Other than that, it is a good class and good studio

I don’t know why nobody has expressed the nasty smell the begins the second you open the door to enter the building… it’s sharp and nasty. After 5 minutes you get used to it but each time I left class, I woke up with a headache and the smell of chlorine still in my lungs. I LOVE the class but I can’t stand entering a building that stinks that bad. Sweat pit is a nice way to describe the smell… dirty socks… also a nice way to put it… this smell reminds me of the Seinfeld episode!!!

This place is disgusting. Never had I even imagined someone would design a Bikram yoga studio with carpeted floors. The place smells like body odor the second you walk in door and only gets worse as you walk towards the front counter. I felt gross walking through the room bare foot and my feet and hands never left my mat after I was set up. I can’t even imagine how much bacteria is living in that carpet. To make it worse, the instructor Leo made it very uncomfortable for me to practice my poses. He was constantly disrupting me in savasana to tell me very loud, unamusing stories. He made it seem more like boot camp then yoga (as if we were all there to loose weight). At one point he even walked right on top of my mat which I found to be disrespectful and gross. I should have walked out and I can promise you that I will never practice yoga in one of his classes again. I also can’t believe they don’t have showers! I’ve never been so unimpressed by a yoga studio before.

If you want knowledgable instructors who graduated from Bikram’s college before it became fashionable, instructors that help make your practice the best that it can be by moving through the room during class and helping with postures where needed, then this place is for you. The owner and all teaching staff are very friendly and helpful. They’ll know your name after only a class or two.
Parking is free and easy in the large lot or covered garage just to the left of the studio.
The size of the changing room is small, but not a problem for me as it is fairly typical of this type of yoga studio and seems to accomodate even the largest class of the day
For only $ 20 for a full intro week, it’s worth checking out.

Pros: Ample parking. Amazing staff. Close-​knit community.
Cons: No showers.
Drop-​in class is $ 20 or $ 15/​student which is standard. Do take advantage of the Intro Week Special: $ 20 for unlimited yoga for 7 days! After that, compared to other studios, the class-​cards are a bit more expensive, but Erin, the director, regularly offers deals and specials, so sign up for email notifications!
Extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful staff. Each instructor has his or her own style, but I haven’t had a bad one yet. Chris, Kyle, and Kathi (that I can name at the top of my head) are really good at helping newbies. Chris Robin and Simply Beth are my absolute favorite instructors! Don’t come in expecting it to be a calm, quiet yoga class. Bikram isn’t the place for that. The dialogue is continuous and at times militant, but you’ll learn to find peace and refuge in that chaos.
Namaste.

It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to attempt Bikram Yoga again. Four and a half years, to be exact. Previously, I had taken several sessions with my mom at a facility in NJ. I considered it to be an intense workout, but I had trouble focusing and the minutes (all 90 of them) dragged by as I shifted from pose to sweaty pose.
When my boyfriend recently came home after his first Bikram class, sweaty and exhausted, I knew I had to give it a shot. Leo, one of the instructors, is a friend of ours and has been trying to persuade us to take the class for ages. I was pretty nervous when we arrived on Friday evening. Especially as I mentally prepared myself for the class ahead while trying to adjust to the 115 degree heat.
The facility itself was nice, and the practice room was bright and had motivational words on the wall. My only issue was that the entire place was carpeted. It was the short kind of carpet that you usually see at shore houses, but carpet nonetheless. This freaked me out a bit since there are undoubtedly so many germs festering in the heat. The other facility I went to previously wasn’t as nice (as in, no decent bathrooms or changing rooms), but it did have hard wood floors.
As for the class itself, once I got through the initial breathing pose, which I’ve always considered to be one of the hardest, it wasn’t so bad. Difficult, yes, but not impossible. I surprised myself by being able to recall most of the positions and I was able to hold my balance better than I anticipated. I’m not sure if I’ll be signing up for any 30 day challenges anytime soon, but I am going to attend another class this week and see how it goes.

This place is phenomenal!
And why not check it out – unlimited classes your intro week for only $ 20!
Leo, the Friday and Saturday instructor is hysterical, accomodating, and a great instructor.
The 90 minutes flies by and the sweat pours off you! So come hydrated and with a change of clothes.
1 note of caution, classes run about 15m over.

Hard to the core. This spacious studio boasts a whopping 115 degree straight through the session. Huge studio with plenty of room for everyone.
The teachers are great and the practice is hardcore. This is what it is all about. The only downside is the changing areas are a bit small and the parking sucks unless the stores across the street are closed. It is a bit hard to find since it is off the main road just a bit. But I LOVE the place.
