Exhale Miami

Very nice place to workout, gym equipments are not so fabulous but certainly not the thing to be worried about for they have the most interactive classes.
The view of the location is beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they helped me out during my first day. High quality of service.

I don’t write many reviews but I felt the need to do so in this case.
I like to write the positive comments first so I will start with Emily at the front desk. I encountered an issue with my car and although there is a 4 hour cancellation policy, she was kind enough to reschedule without a fee. So kudos to Emily! Thank you Emily.
The negative side of my story is that they are in the process of remodeling. It’s not horrible, but this is supposed a zen experience and there is even exposed drywall in the men’s bathroom. Although a small detail, there were no razors in the men’s locker room nor was there deodorant. The place felt unfinished and a little sloppy… just did’t feel right. The facialist then told me that the lift facial is not supposed to be described as lifting anything because they cannot apply that technique to the neck. She was going to check it out. The reason for this review is that I was charged full price ($ 209) for the facial and I thought it would have been a nice gesture for them to discount while under renovation. As a businessman I did that often for my clients. So sad, I probably won’t be back.

My second home. I love Exhale for so many reasons. 1. Core Fusion Barre 2. Yoga 3. Jodi and 4. Jodi. Jodi is such an amazing instructor, she’s knowledgeable, friendly, pretty, and has the most amazing spirit I’ve ever seen.
Quite honestly, all of the instructors are amazing. From Barre to boot camp, core, etc. all the teachers are just great!
I was a member a couple of years ago and was in the best shape of my life. I stopped going because I moved to NYC and couldn’t really fit Exhale into my work schedule. Now that I am back in the 305, I can’t wait to once again be a member of Exhale!
Namaste!

The best spa! Ledys is phenomenal! Thank you for making the most relaxing night. We deserve one massage every week!

This studio is suffering because of the valet. I was a member for 3 years. I love the barre, yoga, bootcamp classes. I still go to them occasionally at the bal harbour and south beach studio but I just can’t tolerate the valet anymore. You have to add 20 minutes to the time to finish class to get your car. It’s disorganized and doesn’t matter what time of day. It’s such a mess down there. Big fail on the Epics part, unfortunate it’s causing exhale to loose members. I’m on class pass now so I can use classes there but I’m so over it. I rather go to the instructors classes I like at the other studios.

I love the classes at Exhale. I’ve tried yoga, barre, core fusion extreme, and core fusion bootcamp. So far I would have to say I like extreme and bootcamp the best, but it depends what kind of workouts you prefer (I like fast/​intense).
Instructors — Julie, Amber and Alexandra are the best! They lead the classes at a good pace, provide modifications if necessary and are always friendly and motivating.
The ambiance is very trendy and zen with peaceful music and a chill vibe. There is a cute boutique that sells clothes, jewelry and skincare products and often offers specials /​sales.
The locker rooms are amazing — lockers, showers, saunas and TONS of products. Can definitely come here before work because they have everything you need to get ready (razors, face wash, brushes, blow dryers, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, etc).
Cons — the classes can get PACKED. By packed I mean literally no walking room between mats. Exhale should limit the number of people allowed in each class so that the experience is more enjoyable and you feel less like canned sardine.
The classroom is long and rectangular with few mirrors and columns that obstruct the view. If you’re at the back of the class, you have no idea what is going on at the front of the class.
In spite of the overcrowding, I overall love Exhale classes and will definitely be back.

This spa lacks some of the elements I feel a high end spa requires including a jacuzzi and other specific stand out options. I will say that my massage was amazing and the nice older Spanish woman was top notch. One of the best massages I have had in a long while. Overall a good experience but if it wasn’t for the coupon code I found online I would’ve felt slightly ripped off for what people pay full price compared to other spa and their amenities.

The massage was pretty good but not as good as I hoped. The facilities were sorely lacking. The bathrooms were too bright and cramped. The tranquil room was my least favorite it was not quiet, felt kinda dirty and outdated and the machine to get hot water for tea made so much noise, not to mention the uncomfortable patio type loungers they had in there made it feel cheap basically I couldn’t wait to get out of there!
The massage rooms were okay but still nothing too special, although the lighting was really nice.
Oh and something really uncomfortable is that before and after the massage when you come in or out of the elevators you are right by the busy hotel restaurant so wearing the robe and slippers back up to our hotel room was awkward because we had to walk right past a big group that was waiting to be seated.
Overall I’m really disappointed that this is where we had massages on our vacation to Miami and I am surprised that it is supposed to be a nicer place!

As you reach the 16^th floor you’ll find yourself immersed in heavenly smells of the spa. I checked in at the front desk of the boutique where you can find anything from bathing suits, workout clothes, accessories, healthy bars and drinks. The young lady is always at the counter is always friendly and in a great mood, which is a great start. I normally go to the women’s locker and change into a bathing suit, grab a towel and head over to the coed sauna. I take my own sandals, but they provide sandals in the lockers as well. The sauna has soothing music and little gleaming lights on the roof– so relaxing.
I got a cool beam facial for 60mins. Sherice greeted me nicely and asked me a few questions about my skin prior to beginning the facial. She did the facial according to my specific skin type, which turned out to be great. I was very relaxed throughout the experience. Definitely ask for Sherice!
My only complaint is that they don’t give robes unless you’re getting a massage. I would feel much more comfortable parading around in a robe instead of a short little towel.
Tips:
Take a bag, change of clothes, bathing suit, etc.
Valet your car and mention you’re going to the spa and have them validate it for you at the front desk before leaving/​paying.

Would love to give this place NO stars. Awful service, rude people, crappy spa, crappy massage. None of it was good. No hot tub, no hamam, a whatever sauna. Just really awful amenities for a spa that is highly considered. Would never come back and do not recommend.

Located on the 16^th floor of the EPIC hotel in downtown Miami. I didn’t care for the layout of the place, e.g. the locker I was assigned was such that everyone entering the locker room would be looking right at me. Not very private.
The staff was friendly. I had the Exhale Flow Massage with Joanna. It was excellent. One of the best I’ve had, and I’ve had them in many places around the world

Did our first yoga class yesterday and must say it was awesome! Was a bit skeptical being a green monkey fan but the place, room, teacher and overall vibe and ambience was superb!
Close to where we live and we are considering becoming members.

I’m one of the founding member of Exhale since it first opened in Miami and I have been a regular ever since. All the instructors are incredible and caring, especially I have become a regular for Julie’s classes, not only because I’ve known her since I started with my Core Fusion journey but also because she has become a friend over time. Julie pays attention to detail, to form and she is the master at taking people to the next level. I can probably say that I am «advanced» in this discipline and her classes are still fun and challenging. She has great music taste, is interested in learning about other people’s backgrounds (I grew up in Venezuela so I help her with her Spanish) which makes her even more personable and likable. Most of the people that take Julie’s classes on a regular basis would agree that she is one of best at Exhale Spa.

Julie’s class is the BEST. she will get you in shape in 1 – 2 weeks. The facility is good– I am a member in NYc trying new studio’s here and simply love exhale.

I have been a member at Exhale for two years now and have yet to be disappointed. Aside from the great staff they have on hand (Jessica at the front desk always has a smile on her face and is willing to go above and beyond to accommodate), the fitness instructors are educated, motivating and inspiring. Between, yoga, barre and CFX, I know that I can get a different work out in everyday that will prove to be challenging. Being a member also means being a part of their fun events, trunk shows, and (my favorite) whiteboard specials on spa services.
All in all, you won’t regret signing up for a membership at Exhale!

Just finished an amazing exhale flow class by Gab Cohen (not related). What an amazing flow. Definitely suggest taking her class. Loved the head massage in savasana.
Will DEFINITELY be back for more on Sunday’s at 10:45!

This spa is absolutely amazing! The employees are fabulous! The classes are outstanding and tons of fun! The teachers are so lively and motivating, and the therapists are incredibly talented! Definitely a must if you’re in Miami!

If I had to rate the spa amenities I would rate it a 2 as basically there is nothing here expect for a «quiet room», a sauna and access to the pool area. However, you can get a great value with a day pass for $ 20 which gives you access to all 3 and includes the ability to take a shower and get ready for a night out. I basically wanted to rest here before going out and was unable to do so because the quiet room is loud. It doesn’t have any doors so anyone walking and talking outside can be heard. They validate valet parking so you only pay $ 5. Be mindful that the valet parking is a zoo in the evenings with everyone coming and going so we waited a long time for our car.

Had the deepest tissue massage ever ! It was so good and highly recommend if a keen fitness freak ! Very calm and tranquil spa.

I wanted to follow up on my recent Exhale spa experience. The manager contacted me via email and she was professional and apologetic about my experience at the spa. I booked an appointment a week ago at the Meatpacking location in NYC where I now live and had a mani/​pedi; my experience was 5 stars and I would definitely return. I am not sure why my nails chipped so badly the first time I was there but my recent experience was nothing short of excellent. Exhale really knows how to make guests feel pampered and appreciated, I’ll keep coming back :)

I attended a poolside event hosted by Exhale Spa. Throughout the day they were giving complimentary massages. I had mine with Victoria. She was excellent, kept asking if the pressure was to my liking, and made me feel very relaxed. I would definitely recommend her.

I posted earlier about a bad experience that I had at the spa and was really upset with my Mani Pedi that I received. Since then, one of the managers reached out to me about my experience and apologized and insisted I come back to give it another try. I made an appointment with Carla and she was amazing! She did a great job and took her time to give me excellent service! I would recommend to make an appointment with Carla for a Mani Pedi!
The manager that contacted me also gave me a complimentary Week of Transformation package to try out the different classes that the Exhale has to offer. Over the week I will admit that I didn’t utilize it the way I should have but I was able to take a 2 classes. The first class I took was Core Fusion Extreme with Alexandra! She was really motivating, it was none stop throughout the entire hour we were there. I immediately felt my body ache as I left the class and knew that I did some work with Alexandra and the rest of the class.
I took Core Fusion Barre with Julie, mind you I was still sore from Alexandra’s Core Fusion Extreme class. In taking this class I had used muscles in my body that I never think I have ever used. There were a couple of people in the class that you could tell were regulars and did awesome! It was hard to keep up and many many times I wanted to walk out and just eat a cheeseburger, but Julie would see me struggling and come over and encourage me! After my Week of Transformation I received an Email from Julie letting me know I did a great job and it would be normal to be sore. I was not expecting Julie to reach out and follow up about the class I took once with her, but she did!
I really recommend going to the classes with Julie and Alexandra. They really care about your own personal goals, and no matter what level you are on they work with you to push you to do your best!
Thank you to the Exhale team for this experience, and for making up one bad experience!

I have been going to Exhale for the last 3 years now and I have to say I am hooked.
I used to have the gym membership and now I have the spa membership. I started doing Crossfit; so that’s why I switched over. I feel like their spa membership is a little bit of a well kept secret. You pay $ 150 a month and that includes a facial or a massage, a monthly manicure, and a $ 50 credit that can be used on a class, merchandise in the store or more spa services. Kind of amazing, right?!
As for manicurists go, CARLA BRITEZ is my go to manicure girl. She always takes her time, cleans my nail beds perfectly, and always leaves my nails looking perfectly painted. I am really picky and she does an awesome job. When you arrive, you will get a heated neck pillow for some relaxation. Then you have Essie, Sparitual or Gelish polishes to choose from. They have a nice variety. Not a billion colors, but enough. My favorite part of the manicure is when they do the scrub on your hands and forearms following by a lotion massage.
As far as the facility goes. It’s always clean. I wouldn’t say it’s the most luxurious spa in Miami, but defintely gets the job done. My favorite part is that the products that they use are awesome. Check them out if you haven’t already.
Since I still attend some gym classes, I do have to say that Jodi Carey is a goddess when it comes to yoga. Her classes are always never dull or repetitive, and the way she describes the poses really helps you perfect your positioning. If you haven’t tried her, you are missing out in life. She only teaches on Tuesdays at 12:15 pm (1h class) and on Saturdays at 10:45 am (1h15m class). Sign up in advance because these days, her class is always full and you will be waitlisted. The yoga room is pure zen too: warm, but not hot, floor to ceiling windows, and taller ceilings you don’t feel claustrophobic. You can bring your own mat or use one of theirs that they clean after every class. Also Julie Weisman is a blonde bombshell who will keep you motivated and moving, if you are looking for something high intensity. Seriously she looks like Barbie.
PS There are always raw almonds stocked in the spa waiting room which is next to the women’s locker room. They are the perfect post-​workout treat.

This place almost lost a star but luckily Leo the front desk reception fixed what the older, unfit, Hispanic female attendant didn’t carry out for me the night before. I took three classes during my trip which were all worth the commute from South Beach. The Barre & Yoga class were taught by a lovely sub who taught the entire class with a smile on her face and provided corrections even the classes are very full. The 7pm Wednesday boot camp class taught by Julie was very intense. I saw some guys in this class who could not hang! I will go back on my next visit because the facility is clean, the classes are challenging & the instructors are great at what the do. I did not use the spa or the vallet. It looked terribly packed & I like to be in and out. I parked on key biscayne and took a short walk to Epic.

I’ve been due for an Exhale review for quite some time now. I’ve been working out their religiously for the past two years and I absolutely love it. I mostly do Core Fusion Barre but I like to mix it up with their Core Fusion Sport and Core Fusion Cardio + Barre classes.
Alexandra Shepherd and Julie Weisman are both really good at selecting playlists to get you pumped up and the classes seem to fly by quickly. Everyone there is very professional and pleasant.
Membership also allows you pool access and 15% off your bill at Area 31 plus 20% off all spa services.
I used to live next door and could walk there with ease each day. My only gripe is that since I live a few miles away now, using Epic’s valet has become a necessity and If you’ve ever visited the Epic, you know what a pain it can be.

In a city with tons of spa options, Exhale Spa is one of the best options in Miami. My wife is a member of Exhale for the classes and I have been going regularly for over a year now for massage work. I’ve been to several spas in Miami and other cities as well as many resort spas during vacations, but Exhale has been the most consistent for me. Service in Miami anywhere can be very unpredictable, but Exhale has always been run very well during my visits.
The Spa itself is situated within the Epic hotel and the treatment rooms are all appropriately secluded from the rest of the hotel traffic. I have found the desk staff to be really helpful when I call or come to check in… The spa areas are really nice, but I’m personally not all that concerned with décor, etc as I generally only appreciate quality and value.
I’ve had treatments (mostly all deep tissue work) from several different therapists and received solid service from all. However, Patch is incredibly talented and is my first choice when she is available. Patch clearly «gets it», is very knowledgable, incredibly professional and personable. She has a genuine interest in curing what ails you and is a master of her craft.
I’ve found Exhale to be fairly priced for a high-​end spa and the annual 50% off coupon for your birthday month is a nice kicker. Tip: Pre-​pay for a massage package of 6 and you can receive 25% off for the set!
