Great teachers, great vibe. LOVE this place.

Worst

The first time I went to this place I wanted to cry. I don't think you are supposed to feel that way after yoga. I bought a Living Social deal and went to a 3:30pm class. They ...

got me hooked on birakm 12/8/2010

""Part of wanting to continue with bikram stemmed from the studio itself. It's not just your standard hot room and changing rooms... Bikram Yoga in the City has the added bonuses of yoga gear/drinks (water, gatorade, coconut water, etc.)/mats and towels for purchase (you can also rent mats and towels for $2 apiece, mat storage ($5/month), SHOWERS (extremely convenient when it comes to the morning classes before work), and freeze pops after class (best bonus!). Also, the instructors here are encouraging and helpful in terms of getting you into the postures... and they're all extremely nice- they make an effort to get to know you. Overall, this studio has got me hooked on birakm. more

it became easier and more exciting to try to go to yoga ever 12/7/2010

I signed up for the $29, 1 month of unlimited classes special for new students to the studio... and I've been striving to go every day. I will admit that bikram may not be for everyone. At my very first class, I was pretty overwhelmed with the heat and humidity, and I wanted to pass out and cry at the same time. Really, the ultimate hurdle is getting through that first class and making it to the second... as my confidence and comfort levels grew, it became easier and more exciting to try to go to yoga every day. more

The freezer pops 12/6/2010

I really enjoyed taking classes here and if it wasn't so incredibly expensive I would definitely be a member. It's in a great location as well. The space itself is well kept and I don't think it smells all that bad, but I did go to morning classes, I'd assume the evening classes smell worse. But my favorite part? The freezer pops they provide at the end of class! Perfect way to cool down and rehydrate! more

Outstanding 11/22/2010

I decided to try bikram yoga at this studio at the urging of my best friend who is an avid believer in bikram and because it's close to where I live. I had done bikram yoga before a couple of times in New York and in Boston, and I must say that my experience at Bikram Yoga in the City far exceeded those at the other studios. more

very enjoyable experience 11/8/2010

I had a very enjoyable experience here. It did not smell worse or better than any other Bikram Studio. I really liked the instructors, and was glad a shower was offered because some studios don't give you that. I loved the popsicles at the end and actually liked the carpet. more

No other studio that I have been to compares?? 8/27/2010

Dear Mike, I have to tell you, I got so spoiled taking classes from your studio the past year and a half. No other studio that I have been to compares to the quality of the teachers and the consistent room temperature. more

Thanks everybody!?? 7/26/2010

I have been coming pretty regularly for 3 years. It has helped with sleep, depressions, overall body image and anxiety. I'm moving to Iowa and there's no studio there! I will be in withdrawal! Thanks everybody!”? more

great place to get pin worm and yelled at 2/16/2010

Yoga is supposed to be the art of breathing and letting go among other things. Coming here is so uncomfortable, I have a hard time breathing, let alone ""letting go"". Some, but not all of the Yoga instructors are rude and inconsiderate to the customers. I've been to Bikram in LA and NY and they are much more relaxing and enjoyable. Stay away from this Yoga studio unless you want a bad experience that includes: uncleanliness, impoliteness, hastiness, and an overall feeling of ""they just want your money"" - just wait 'til you hear the owner advertising he'll ACH your checking account during sabasina! Yoga is supposed to be so much more, and this studio ""takes"" instead of ""gives"". I would not recommend this Yoga studio to anyone even if they lived right next door. Cons: rude and dirty more

Unbelievable Workout & Great Stuido 11/7/2009

I have been a member of Bikram Yoga in the City for over a year. I never liked yoga before because I was a cardio fanatic. I also moved to Chicago 3 years ago and never found a spin studio or gym I liked compared to LA. This is an awesome workout. My back pain has decreased immensely. The instructors and the owner are awesome and are very passionate about Bikram. I don't understand the other reviews. I have been to studios all over the US now and nothing compares to this particular studio. This is a tough workout. This is a great studio which offers over 40 classes a week. The Popsicles they give after class are awesome. Pros: Instructors are Awesome more

THE WORST BIKRAM YOGA STUDIO IN THE CITY 4/6/2009

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST AND I WILL NEVER GO BACK! Let me start by telling you about my 3 tries there. My first experience was great and the instructor took the time to go over some of the moves with me. My second class was crowed, hot and smelled like garbage. Not to mention, the facility is GROSS AND UNSANITARY! For the final straw, I had the owner as the instructor and what an as****e he is! He was rude to newer students and made fun of them for having to sit out. What a way to run a business. Then, I had the pleasure of watching him confront this student after class and he was nasty! Note to the owner-if you want to stay in business with your filthy studio, I highly suggest you be nice to all your patrons! I will never go back there after what I saw tonight! This student handled herself well and walked away when this horrible owner was incredibly rude. best of luck in this bad economy! bad economy + bad attitude = FAILURE! I would avoid this place at all costs! Pros: NOTHING Cons: THE OWNER, UNSANITARY STUDIO more
