TRUE HOT YOGA ARROWHEAD RANCH

I have been practicing yoga and moving type meditations for over 50 years, the last 16 some type of hot yoga. True Hot Yoga has become my “Go to”, when visiting in Phoenix. There are no “Bells and Whistles” with large dressing rooms, showers etc. That is not what practicing yoga is about. It’s about a solid, rhythmic, well sequenced practice incorporating strength, flexibility, rest and focus. These are the “True” principles of a solid yoga practice, in my opinion and experiences. Thank you “True Hot Yoga”. For being my Phoenix retreat ♥️ Dr. Dawn M Macy, Ed.D.

I’m posting this today because I’ve put it off and hoping things will improve. I’ve been going to Marta’s classes for at least 3 years she was always one of my favorites. Over time her classes have died down with less and less people. The energy isn’t as fun, music always the same, and for the 1st 40 minutes no music at all. I enjoy the background music with instruction the best otherwise I’d go back to Bikram yoga. I’m in the fitness industry myself and feel you always want to be getting better, not stagnated, and take customers feedback. It isn’t to be mean but make the whole experience great every time. I’ve been going to Scottsdale classes Patti, Heidi, Chrissy,Jenna’s classes because of the contagious energy, music, pace, and overall experience. I do compare because I’d love for more consistency. I’d want to know why people aren’t coming to my classes anymore. I hope things improve and get better!Best Regards,Natalie

Terrible studio. Overpriced and the teachers are extremely rude. The locker rooms are too small and the fans slamming open and turning off and on in the studio are so loud it destroys the entire practice. I’m not even kidding go try a class and see how loud the vents are. I have been to maybe 20+ studios and this was the worst in 3 years. There was one teacher named Jinna who was great. But the rest were distracting and not good vibes.

I love this place! Sure there is only one toilet and sink, after reading some other reviews, but I really like that it’s smaller because it feels cozy, everyone is always so welcoming here. I’ve been to a few other studios and they don’t have the room hot enough to make it an actual challenge and they aren’t as welcoming. After 6 years of not doing hot yoga, I returned to this studio and still got the same at home vibe I got the first few times I went 6 years ago.

I have such a horrible experience today at this studio. I was trying one of their classes they have on special and see if i wanted to sign up but after today no way. I know is supposed to be a hot room for yoga but this particular room is way too hot and humid no air, i felt like i wanted to pass out, only one toilet to use n one shower and one sink for all the sweaty and stinky people coming out of class. I felt like throwing up cause i couldn’t take it anymore. I had to go to the bathroom i felt nauseous and after all that the rudeness of women complaining why im taking so long after explaining myself i need to throw up and she didnt care her answer was there is people that need to pee and that i shouldn’t be changing in the bathroom and if i wanted to throw up there is a sink and a garbage can i can use. That was so rude. Where is the kindness of this people. I will never come back and im glad i never sign up. Horrible experience after i left

Ive been coming to this studio for 4 years. Ive visited both locations. Its where i started hot yoga and it feels like home base 😌 …

I absolutely loved every experience I had at True Hot Yoga. I was pretty new to yoga when I started there but felt welcomed immediately and truly appreciated all of the direction and support from the staff. I practiced Tuesday and Thursday mornings with Serena. She always had the most calming voice and presence, not to mention soothing and uplifting music. I’ve since moved out of state and really miss True Hot Yoga! I haven’t been able to find a comparable class near my new home.

Really do not like the fact this place shut down the Yoga classes at EOS. Only so they don’t loose money and they said it’s competition. EOS doesn’t do Hot Yoga they have normal yoga for someone like me who doesn’t want to sweat while doing yoga it was prefect! I just signed up for EOS and one of the reasons was because I wanted to attend the yoga classes. Hot Yoga is selfish and only wants money they don’t care about anything else otherwise they would let EOS have yoga classes again. After reading the other reviews I wouldn’t step foot in this place if someone paid me too!!

It’s really too bad that small businesses took such a beating from COVID but when they won’t help themselves shame on them. I spend $86 on Groupon for classes for my wife and myself. And COVID hit limiting our ability to use them (we used 3 of 15). We were gone for the summer and now having returned they won’t honor the Groupon. Now they’re missing a full price 3 month membership which is what I would have bought after the Groupon. I would probably have met in the middle somewhere as well but they don’t have time to talk on the phone, don’t take walk ins and don’t respond to email.

Yoga - hot or not - is supposed to be a practice of focusing mind and body as a singular unit through mindfulness and extending existing capabilities through practice. Why then is this discouraged at a studio that represents itself as "True" Hot Yoga when when the instructors do not stay true to the practice of mindfulness concerning their participants? No one should be shamed by an instructor for mindfully recognizing their own limits and quietly excusing themselves. Not only does my experience with one of their instructors indicate that they are not trained on accepting or assisting participants in where they are at, but the shame they put you through when being told you can't leave until the very end demonstrates they are unprofessional and care more about their own standards than participant safety.If you want Hot Yoga, go somewhere else that will be "True" to the participants.
