Very relaxed, welcoming environment , Donna is great

by red_sk

I went to the Ecstatic Dance class and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a bit fat and uncoordinated so I was very happy to find that this class was at your own pace and movement. It is a relaxed class with no pressure. Donna is very friendly and genuinely cares.

• Pros: welcoming, easy, relaxed atmosphere, clean location,

Wonderful workout

by itsabeautifulday

I had no clue what "Nia" was. But I was desperate to find an exercise class that I would stick with. I tried a Nia class and couldn't believe what a fantastic and fun workout it was -- a combination of dance, yoga, and martial arts. The music varies from funky to world music to ethereal. And you get to choose the level of intensity that's right for you. I don't really think of Nia as an exercise class but as my fun time, my therapist , my time for me. I've been to lots of different exercise classes, and NiaSpace's Nia class is the best and most joyful workout I've ever had. As a "regular" in Nia classes, I lost ten pounds over three months, gained muscle tone, and feel great! If you enjoy listening and moving to music, you gotta try Nia.

• Pros: Great workout, great music, nice folks, South Austin jewel
• Cons: Zip

Best Place to Start or End Your Day!

I never knew "fitness" could be so much fun! The music, the people and the space is great! The diversity of classes is nice. Some days I want a slow dance like Tai Chi and other days I want a real workout like Nia - it's great that they have something for everyone.

• Pros: No competition, friendly teachers and staff.
• Cons: Allowing time for traffic on South Congress
