GoogleI booked 3 classes for a week when I stayed at my friend’s place after she recommended this studio. One of the best training experiences I’ve ever had! All the instructors speak English and very attentive to the class. The facilities are very clean, the vibe is very pleasant and all the staff has brilliant energy! They provide shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. There are hair drier, hair straightener and spray deodorant. If you are not a member and just have class pass, you can rent shower towels for €3. Their booking system is working perfectly and they have tons of different types of classes. If you want to build the strong and flexible body you need for long lasting mobility, don’t hesitate joining their classes!
I love this studio! Historically, I haven’t been someone who works out (besides walking), and I was really nervous to begin my fitness journey since it had been a few years. But the instructors here are so encouraging and supportive that I’ve now been coming for about two months, and I genuinely look forward to every class. The environment of the studio feels very safe and welcoming. The staff is super kind. I’ve taken classes with several different instructors, and I truly believe there’s a perfect fit for everyone. Each instructor brings something unique: some offer a more challenging pace, while others focus on breath, form, and mindfulness. I want to give a special shout-out to Anna Luisa for always bringing such a positive attitude and energy—I really love her classes. Sofia and Romina’s classes have stood out to me as well, they are super personable, and always keep things fresh and new! If you're thinking about giving this studio a shot, do it!!!
Obsessed with this place. The classes are challenging but SO good. The instructors are all talented and lovely. Great vibes and super nice front desk team too. I bought a monthly pass and it’s so worth it
Super nice studio! Loved the reformer classes and the booty class. I like the style and the trainers are very nice. You should go there 😍
Excellence & Kindness Lisbon has now a top notch classical dance & Pilates studio that was only possible in cities like Paris, New York or London. You will find the best & most passionate teachers that will lead you into the culture and love of dance. Whether as a ballerina or as a complete newbie you will have an amazing experience. Each teacher gives you unique attention to your level. Don’t be shy to try different classes. Aurelia recommended me to check the Martha Graham style (Modern Dance) on YouTube. I had the most wonderful class with Maria Ana Diogo. Each movement is combined with an energized breath and spine workout and the warm up will leave you grounded. Alexandra will introduce you to Classic Modern Dance and she explained how this allowed her to develop her own personality and essence as a dancer. You will notice more percussion and an evolution of classic ballet. She’s very kind and shared the passion of teaching and dancing Modern Dance. Aurelia’s class is fantastic. She focuses on understanding each person’s capabilities by “putting herself on our shoes” to understand our limitations and correct us. She’s graceful and kind. It’s a privilege to be able to learn from a 30 year experienced ballerina from Opera de Paris. The barre classes are awesome too. You have to try them!! I did The Barre Affair and worked inner muscles that I never knew they could be activated! It’s a great & complete workout given by Nathalie. Sofia will put your glutes on fire. Get ready for that class too! Yin Yoga is also a must try. You will stay in each position for some minutes and enjoy a relaxing playlist. Aude brings pure joy to this class and adds some sound bath in the end. Well.. you will not find anything similar to West Side Studio. Give it a try! Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. The prices reflect their level of quality, perfection and excellence. The room is always clean and organized. They have good lockers with charging stations; great toiletries and accessories available. The cancellation policy is fair. You have a 12hour notice period to cancel a class at no charge.
