Hart Fit

I’m so sad to say that Hart Yoga officially closed their doors yesterday. They are not relocating, according to Lisa Hart, but are closing permanently. I’ve been to this locations many times, and will miss the friendly atmosphere, and amazing teachers.

My love story ended with Hart Fit — and I am heartbroken.
When I first started joining, I have never been to a yoga studio or a spa so my comparison was limited. Now that I’ve branched out, I can do a better review.
I had to cancel my membership because I moved away from the Plano/​Frisco area — and I am frantically looking for an equivalent.
Hart Fit is wonderful. The entrance and rooms are so serene. They dim the lights when you start and there is running water playing. Soft music in the changing room and just an overall relaxed spa feel. My favorite instructor is still Kristin Gonzalez. She does hot power yoga. To a few people, she can be too tough. For those that prefer a more strenuous practice so you can feel as if you’re actually working out, she is your gal.
During her class, she provides modifications — but she has to know your level. Don’t pretend you’re intermediate to save face. Tell her it’s your first time or you don’t do yoga often so when she does weird things, she can give you an easier pose. There is no judgment in that class. She knows that it’s YOUR practice. The other people are too focused trying to handle what Kristin is throwing at them that they don’t even care if you choose to opt out and child pose it.
I thoroughly recommend gym-​goers to give her a try to change up your workout. I used to be one of those people that think yoga means breathing and lying down, but Kristin converted me into practicing regularly and it’s been life changing.

I love the facilities and the staff– bought a groupon and it was a good deal since it came with a massage and a month of classes. the massage was really nice and the classes are taught by knowledgeable instructors. This place isn’t for me since I have limited time and prefer much more intense workouts. It is great for what it is but I need more hardcore strength training. It is just my personal preference… but this place is really nice and they have a steam room. If you are looking for yoga or pilates type workouts this is a good place. The barre class they offered was more beginner level. I like barre classes where I am in agony and my legs shake for the majority of the workout. That is just my own thing though and if you are looking for something milder then you need to check this place out. Extremely clean bathrooms.

I love the staff, instructors, facilities, steam room, yoga classes and massage services. Bette is wonderful for Swedish massage, and Jenna is an outstanding greeter/​office assistant. All of the yoga instructors are great. I especially enjoy the Hatha Yoga classes.
I would continue pay my monthly membership if only to use the steam room as much as I want. The steam room is my happy place! I love doing a yoga class and then steaming for 20 minutes. It’s heaven! And the yoga studio happens to be right next to a Kroger, so it’s extremely convenient for grabbing some groceries after class before you head home. I love Hart Yoga and can sincerely say that my participation there has substantially increased my quality of life.

I’ve been practicing yoga for years. My previous instructor moved to Dallas and I hadn’t found anywhere comparable until now. I have tried every yoga studio in Frisco. Hart Yoga is my new home. The instructors are wonderful. They are challenging, observant and offer correction and modifications for all levels. The staff is warm and friendly. The studio is very clean. A variety of classes are offered at times that accommodate most schedules. Customer service is a priority and it shows. I bought a Groupon and it expired before I had an opportunity to take advantage of all of my classes. They extended the expiration date on their own.

I am new to yoga, and found this studio that offered a beginners class. The studio looked nice, felt comfortable, I was looking forward to it… but then, I get to my «beginners» class, and soon realize I was the only beginner. Apparently this is a beginners class that the same group of people have been going to forever. The instructor didn’t give any introduction, just jumped right into yoga. Everyone seemed to know her routine, but me! There were several very difficult poses that I was unable to do. So I just stood there and watched. The instructor offered no assistance or alternate poses for a beginner. I felt very awkward. It also didn’t help that there was a seven year old next to me, who did not want to be there, so he played with his water bottle, did back flips and ran in and out of the studio all hour. I definitely won’t be going back and do not recommend this for people who are new to yoga, but then, they do not seem to want new yoga seekers.

Ive been to all the other yoga places but Hart… ohhh mmyyy… its another level! The experience is almost spiritual. Occasionally you can get a groupon for this studio and its worth it. The instructors have been very easy going and eager to offer assistance to people who appear to be struggling. The studios are smaller which makes the class sizes smaller but more intimate.

I love Hart yoga! The staff and instructors are super nice, very welcoming and helpful. Classes are wonderful. I’ve tried several: Hot Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, etc. My favorite instructors are Leisa and Joyce. I like Nicole a lot too, but I am not experienced/​good enough to keep up with her routines. I find her very challenging, but she does offer modifications. Actually, most, if not all of the instructors I’ve tried offer ways to challenge yourself in each pose and ways to modify if you need something less challenging. Every class has it’s own feel and style, and as you would expect, a lot depends on the kind of yoga and on the instructor, but truly, it is a great place to start or continue a yoga practice. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience at Hart. Try it out!

This is an amazing yoga studio. The staff is fantastic, the instructors are top notch! They offer a variety of classes to suit all needs. I leave feeling like I’ve had a powerful fat burring work out. It completely rejuvenates your mind body and soul.
