Flow Shala

I started going to Flow Shala by joining the 30-day Flow challenge. (HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have been out of touch with your body for a while and need some motivation!!) Before this, I had gone to gyms on and on off but hadn’t had a truly consistent movement practice in 6 years. I realized I missed team sports and hoped to gain consistency by encouraging myself with community. It was fun to meet new people and hear about their own journey with getting back in touch with their body, getting out of pain, or how long they have been practicing here. The coaches are all incredibly knowledgeable and empowering. It is a welcoming and non-judgmental space. All I had to do was show up and they gave me all the tools I needed! I feel stronger and more confident in my body than ever before.

Flow Shala is the best! I've taken on-line classes with Brooke, Amber, and Bethany, so far, and they are all excellent teachers, giving clear instructions so we newer students could easily understand and follow along. The warm-up section of the class is fabulous, and for the main part of the class, the instructors gave options for different levels of challenge, so a beginner could get just as good a work out as a more experienced member. Also, Alicia gave me a coaching call and was completely focused on supporting my goals. Summer got back to me quickly regarding emailed questions. All around, a top-notch studio.

A wonderful combination of weighted yoga, HIIT, strength and stretching. This place has it all, and is curated to take you at whatever level you come to them. They teach high level Steel Mace classes, to simple foundation and movement classes (I highly recommend one of Brooke's foundation classes, you won't be disappointed), all with the same level of encouragement, knowledge, and motivation. You will not leave here feeling unfulfilled or like you haven't just done yourself a world of good. The community of people are welcoming, educated beyond the norm, and the space is absolutely gorgeous. The class schedule is a bit limited on times, but if you can find a few classes a week that work, or if you have a propensity for working out in the comfort of your own home, then you will find no better group of people and trainers then here. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to make a positive change in their lives. It has certainly been a positive change in mine.

I was introduced to Flow Shala in 2019. Ironically, I never intended to do more than the 6-week challenge and here I am three years later a dedicated and loyal member. The unique class offerings (Steel Mace, y’all), highly trained and knowledgeable coaches, and beautiful space are really all the reasons needed to keep coming back. That said, Flow Shala is more than just a fitness studio. They’re about creating and cultivating community and it shows. Thank you Summer! Thank you coaches! Thank you Flow Shala for being my constant :)

I started training at Flow Shala when I finally accepted that I had a chronic running injury that hurt all the time, and needed to take a break from running to deal with it. Strength training on my own wasn't helping. I had to wait several weeks to see a physical therapist, but a fitness expert and mentor familiar with Summer Huntington's approach had recommended Flow Shala, so I decided to check it out.Wow. From an initial video assessment, I learned what might be contributing to the injury, and that was the basis for a training plan that not only helped me address the pain, but get stronger.Flow Shala membership offers so many ways to get moving, through live classes, recorded classes, and recorded, comprehensive modules on head-to-toe fascial release and basic movement that I can follow. I don’t have to worry about being motivated to work out, because there’s always an option that feels like the right thing, including when I want to exercise by myself.Something else that's unique is that class formats use different types of movement for specific outcomes, from bodyweight, steel mace or clubs for physical and mental training or intensity, to classes focused on mechanics, mobility or spinal release and postural alignment.And it's unlimited! For the price I would expect to pay for two classes a week, I can take as many classes as I’d like. I have access to all of the coaches through all of the class options and formats. The coaches have different styles, but they have in common incredible depth of knowledge and skill at observing, cueing and correcting form – in person and via Zoom. What Flow Shala offers has been far and away more interesting and rewarding than anything I've experienced with running and working out at other gyms and studios. I can't recommend it enough!

I love the diversity of movement and clarity of all-levels instruction I get in my 6:30am classes at Flow Shala. I have learned positive mindset techniques and advanced understanding of healthy movement from Summer and Alicia. Roxanne, Bethany, and Alicia bring joyful play into my fitness. The coaching I experienced initially with Summer supported me in creating the mindset of a super duper human and I’ve stuck with it with the steady and personal support of my morning coaches.I Am stronger in a way I previously only dreamed of.I love the Flow Shala community- the sweet souls and quirky folks who exude positive gratitude with a welcome and confidence that is clear and grounded. Thank you especially to Alicia for being a Leader of healthy growth as the community rebuilds in 2022! She’s been a fantastic addition to the team.

This actually a review by Maggie Kinsella - I have been a member at Flow Shala for more than 3 years. I appreciate the variety of classes, incorporation of tools and the Flow Fit series. I love the complex movements that challenge me mentally and physically. I have gained core strength, improved balance, flexibility and feel much more integrated in all movements. My other fun activities are more fun! The coaches are all energetic, well trained and clear with instruction and feedback. Summer has built a solid studio based on science with an open heart. I highly recommend anyone give this unique movement studio a try. People of all ages and abilities can benefit.

Flow Shala is a unique amazing studio! Flow Shala is a beautiful fusion of yoga, strength, body movement, core and weights. I loved the incorporation of the club bell and steel mace and the added strength and complexity this added to the movements. If you are a beginner at these movements, they do a great job of walking you through it and giving many levels of modification. I was also surprised at the wide variety of classes that they offer and thought process and science that goes into the structure of their classes, maximizing the benefit to the mind and body. The coaches are very well trained, knowledgeable, and friendly. The studio was spacious, warm, inviting, and had very good quality mats and equipment. They also have other great offerings beyond classes, like their one-on-one goal coaching and other wellness modalities. I am definitely grateful to have this studio and all that they offer, available in our area and looking forward to incorporating this into my fitness and wellness routine.

Summer & her team truly know how to help people, & genuinely care to do so. Thank you so much for my wonderful Flow Shala experience! I really appreciate it & look forward to more in the future.

I just wanted to share the amazing experience of taking Charleen’s classes. It all starts when you walk in, she greets with excitement immediately making me feel welcome. She’s organized and has everything set up, maces, kettlebells etc. so you know what you are doing. Her class is energizing. She is NEVER condescending or patronizing when explaining progressions and regressions. Then she ends class with a genuine inquisitive mindset, asking how we feel, what we loved and can improve on. I just really admire her energy and grace. She’s nailing it.
