StudioTimeOut, and the people who work there, have helped me change my life - no exaggeration! Four years ago I attended a nutrition class that was being hosted by Jeanne (the owner) and Lucy (certified health coach). As a woman in her early 50s I was resigned to the inevitable weight gain I was experiencing - regardless of how active I was and how healthy I ate. The basic principles of nutrition I learned helped me begin a slow journey to MUCH improved health. Not just 20+ lbs weight loss, but fewer digestive issues and increased energy and well being. THEN I began attending group exercise classes and discovered Nia. Nia combines movement and music in a way that is truly rejuvenating for both the mind, body and spirit! It lifts my mood and grounds me plus its a great workout! Most recently I experienced a significant issue with my shoulder. For months I was trying physical therapy and acupuncture to try and decrease the pain and improve my range of motion. Nothing seemed to be working until I began to do pilates with Heidi. She is encouraging, patient and knowledgeable. My shoulder is slowly regaining range of movement and there is significantly less pain! The instructors at this studio are excellent! Ive belonged to many health clubs and attended tons of group classes and these are absolutely some of the best instructors around. Kendra teaches a number of classes and routinely calls out to help correct our form so we dont injure ourselves. She also makes class fun with a great sense of energy and humor. Same goes for Lauren - great cueing and energy! My favorite is Nia with Jeanne, the owner. She cues very effectively and concludes each of her classes with some visioning/affirmation work that rounds out the experience and makes me feel wonderful - physically, emotionally and mentally! It is not the least expensive studio to belong to, however it is worth EVERY PENNY! I would honestly recommend it to anyone!

I am still very new to Studio TimeOut but so far finding this studio and this group of people has been like a breath of fresh air. Everyone is so attentive and welcoming and make exercise, nutrition and overall taking care of yourself accessible and fun. I have been to a few fitness centers where I felt like I was just viewed as a walking dollar bill. At Studio TimeOut they offered me an affordable and accessible way to get to know the studio, the classes and the instructors without immediately jumping on me to get my money. All the instructors took the time to get to know me and took a genuine interest in me. I have a knee injury and everyone has been so accommodating to make sure I get the most out of my experience. When I first started going to Studio TimeOut I was very nervous and intimidated. I am very much out of shape and I find big crowds of people intimidating. But everyone was very understanding and made me feel at ease. This is not your usual fitness center where everyone is super fit and pretentious. Everyone cares about you and your experience and value you for who you are and what you want out of your experience. I find it to be an empowering and motivating space where I can be myself and really invest in myself without being judged or compared to others. I am so happy to have found Studio TimeOut as I have already started going regularly to fitness classes and can already tell that I am stronger and have much more energy. Considering the wide variety of classes and how great everyone that works there is, the cost is definitely worth it!

As a recent transplant to the Twin Cities, I feel very fortunate to have found Studio TimeOut. I first came to the studio while on an apartment/job scouting trip. At the end of that week, I knew a few instructors and the front desk staff by name and they knew me. I already felt like a part of the community and couldnt WAIT to come back for good. Some fitness studios have one outstanding instructor whose classes are always full. One of the most impressive things about this studio is that ALL of the teachers are amazing!I I honestly havent tried a class I didnt like. Each instructor has their own personality, but they all put in extra effort to get to know the people in class and to give you the best experience for your fitness level. Though many of the class formats are new to me, I have really enjoyed the variety. The instructors cue the classes so well that I never feel like I dont know what to do or what is coming up next. Studio TimeOut also offers nutritional and detox services that I have been able to take advantage of. If you are looking to include nutrition into your plan to better your health, this is the place to do it. My nutritional appointments have been so enlightening and motivating! I strongly recommend including them into your plan. I have spent more money monthly on a gym membership to run on treadmills and lift weights at a machine. However, I have never had such a fulfilling workout experience as the one I have at Studio TimeOut. Finding this community has been the best part of my relocation.

I recently signed up for the unlimited summer special and I love it! Although summers already seem jam packed with activities Ive been attending at least a few classes a week. From the moment I entered the studio everyone there (staff and other guests alike) has been super kind and supportive. The receptionists all seem to know my name and are genuinely friendly. All of the instructors have gone out of their way to welcome me and to take the time to help me feel comfortable in my new surroundings as well as to go over special instructions for each class. The instructors have all checked in with me already on numerous occasions to see if Im enjoying my new classes or if I have questions. Its so easy to sign up for classes! Ive used the website and the app with ease. Both of these great options give excellent info and I absolutely love the reminders & the automatic calendar adds as I sign up for my classes. Another thing I have appreciated is the informative emails Ive received from the studio that seem to answer all my questions and give real & informative info & ideas. The best news is that in less than one month, I already notice positive changes in my body. I have more energy, I sleep better and I feel better. I notice that I want to make better choices at meal time and my clothes fit me better. My friends & family notice the changes too and this is encouraging. I feel really comfortable at STO!!!! The people, the classes and all the positive changes keep me coming back. Thanks everyone!

Studio Time Out became a second home to me about seven years ago after returning home from a family reunion in North Carolina. At that event, the families all gathered on the third floor of my nephews home, their family room. Several times that weekend I had to make the painful trek up those three long flights of stairs... It was my knees which had to carry my 70 pounds of extra weight. On my return home, I saw a commercial on tv about Time Out, which was a short distance from my house. I stopped in and signed up for their tryout special. Next, I met a woman named Beth (who turned out to be an instructor there) in the spic and span clean ladies room. She was dressed in a layered look. (I wouldnt ever try that at my 210-220 weight.) I wanted some of that! Well, it worked! I started counting calories and taking pilates there. Within a year and a half I lost those 70 pounds!!! They are still off and they will continue to be off! So several times each week now I still visit my second home for a great workout. The friendly staff greets me and every other client by name and keeps the whole place immaculately clean!!! I am now lean, flexible, a lot stronger than I used to be, very healthy, and many tell me that I look a lot younger than my 71 years! What could be better than that!
