I feel so lucky to be able to go to Blaze, and I go 6 days a week with the goal of getting myself back into shape and staying that way. But it's an "I get to go," not an "I have to go" feeling. The instructors are super knowledgeable, always encouraging; they prioritize safety and help you to work with the body you're in on any given day. I go to get/stay strong. I go to feel the very robust support of the teachers and the other practitioners. It's a special Portsmouth place whose teachers embody kindness and humor!

FABULOUS!

I hit a 7AM Rise & Lift class with Andie and it was awesome!

The room is filled with high energy and strong bodies, which were no doubt sculpted over time at this studio. A nice diverse crowd of folks who love to push themselves.

This is also a beautiful and well-appointed studio.

I will return on my next visit to Portsmouth!

Thanks, Blaze!

Blaze is life changing! They care so much about each client and every class is perfectly handcrafted by the instructor. My biggest regret is not starting sooner. After moving back home, I haven’t found anything like it - my body and mind long for another class. Do yourself a favor and just try it for one month - you won’t regret it.

I recently took a HIIT class with Sarah Rafferty at Blaze Yoga and Fitness, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, the energy in the room was palpable. Sarah’s high-energy coaching style kept me motivated and engaged throughout the entire session.

The workout itself was challenging yet rewarding, pushing me to my limits in the best way possible. I could feel my strength and endurance improving with every exercise. It’s honestly the best workout I've had in a long time! If you're looking for a class that combines intensity with a fantastic atmosphere, I highly recommend joining Sarah's HIIT class. You won't be disappointed!

I feel like I found the cheat codes for winter in New England! I had been doing home workouts for about a year before joining Blaze, and it was ok, but truthfully I was probably over working myself. The last 2 months I have felt better than ever, taking almost every class they offer has allowed me to have a more balanced work out routine and I have way less injury/pain. Kinstretch was my gateway drug and Sara Curry is phenomenal. She will have you working harder than you ever thought possible in a “stretching” class with lots of laughs along the way. Biggest advice to someone would be to just try it. Try ALL of it (yoga, strength, kinstretch) in one week and there is literally NO way you will not feel mentally and physically amazing!

It's hip month! Loved all classes this week from Kinstretch with Sara and Elizabeth and Blaze flow focusing on hip strength and mobility. Killer cardio on the box with Andie! The classes enhance each other and provide a tool kit of exercises for overall health. There is always something to learn here!

I’ve never been a fitness class person and for 3 years my friend has been trying to get me to come. Well I finally did just over a month ago and I’m hooked. The variety of classes offered is amazing, the cleanliness of the studio is top notch and the teachers are awesome! I didn’t know if I could fit this into my busy schedule and now I can’t imagine life without Blaze. I’m putting in the work to feel like my best self and loving the energy and environment Blaze provides!

Going to Blaze has been one of the most intense physical exercise I've ever done! Class is not always easy (sometimes my body just objects), but going to hot yoga and IHP have changed my physical health for the better, and I am more centered mentally/emotionally. Bottom line is that I love the way I feel when I go to class! And I love the community!

After experiencing a year with some terrible shoulder injuries, I knew I had to do something to maintain and further improve my range of motion. I was HOOKED after my first Original Hot Yoga class at Blaze. Since going there, my range of motion has improved substantially as has my strength and coordination. Every class I've been to has been challenging, supportive, and super fun. I can't recommend this place enough. I highly recommend the Original Hot Yoga class, Vinyasa class, and for range of motion maintenance, Kinstretch. Try the weights class if you really want to push yourself. Do yourself a favor, and go get sweaty!

Finding a fitness routine that works for me had always been a challenge. Andie, Blaze manager and instructor, made me feel welcome from the moment I walked through the door. The community vibe is also strong as everyone is friendly and supportive of each other. Hot yoga, weights, and HIIT classes are my favorite, and every instructor brings their own unique style and energy to every class—keeping you motivated to give everything you’ve got. Incredibly thankful for the Blaze Team and to have found a path to a happier, healthier life.

Over the past few years, I had accumulated several overuse injuries/tendonitis at my previous gym and thought I might try a yoga class or two just to see what it is all about. I took a class at Blaze on a whim about six weeks ago assuming it would confirm for me that yoga is not my thing. And...I never went back to my old gym. After the first 15 minutes of that first Inferno Flow class, I was hooked. The class variety is amazing, so there is a class for everyone. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. Joining Blaze is one of the best things I've done for myself and my fitness goals.

I've done hot yoga before but BLAZE? THIS PLACE BRINGS OUT THE FIRE in you. The instructors know their stuff, everyone beside you in class is encouraging and you leave SWEATING WITH VICTORY. I have only been there 1 month but the differences in my flexibility and stamina are noticeable. If you're looking for that next level in fitness - go. If you're just starting out and you're nervous - go. Nobody is judging you. IT'S YOU VS. YOURSELF, and you'll be amazed to find that you're stronger than you think you are. See you on the mat!

Blaze previously stood for tolerance, questioning the "status-quo," open-mindedness, freedom of movement & positive energy. It is now the exact opposite of this. They've turned into materialistic (refused to refund me close to $200), intolerant of opposing views (& unwilling to discuss them), Big Pharma & Big Government-loving, negative energy & discriminatory place. There is no more "express yourself!!" or love of individuality. If you don't fall in line, get injected, cover your face, get tested every week...then you're not welcome there. I'm so disappointed in this once-strong & unique place. What happened to My Body, My Choice? What happened to questioning authority? Blaze used to be edgy, smart & fun. Now it's a stifling regurgitation of unscientific & moronic rules which are lining the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies. So sad.

Interesting how Blaze responds to honest feedback.
This was not a settled conversation - they ignored my last 2 attempts at communication, their 1st statement is a lie.
Instead of addressing the issue on a professional level they chose to make assumptions about my race, life experiences & current feelings. None of which they know anything about.
Unfortunately it's indicative of what they've become.

My husband and I have been traveling to Blaze Studio for classes for 15 years! It’s a 30 minute drive to the Studio and 30 miles back home. Could we find another place to do yoga or Pilates that’s closer to home? Sure ! But we wouldn’t think of going any place else! We love Blaze ; the classes, the teachers , the owners, the atmosphere. We love the expertise, the intense care for the community and the acceptance of any and all . Blaze is a blessing to a lot of people. It’s a huge part of our lives and we’re so thankful that Blaze has continued to flourish. If you come to the studio for a few classes, you will understand.

I was running a lot of road races when I first was introduced to hot yoga. Whenever my running was a source of pain or injury a very wise person would tell me "you need yoga". More specifically I needed Blaze Yoga and Pilates. I cannot imagine going to any other studio. It's like theme song on the TV sitcom Cheers (yeah I'm dating myself). Truly, the lyrics say it all and it IS where "everybody knows your name". Each and every teacher is Inspiring and soooooo knowledgeable in their teachings. Also, Blaze Yoga and Pilates attracts an awesome mix of people showing up for themselves. It is inspirational and motivating! A sustained practice will change your life. You need yoga - Blaze Yoga and Pilates.

I've been practicing with this community since 2010 and there is one reason why I have never left: consistency in community care. I always know I'm held at this studio. They live their values loudly. I've walked in there in excellent shape and health, as a dumpster fire, and everything in between—practiced in tears, in times of joy, major stress, through pregnancy and on my due date, and in pandemic. What you learn here is: We all show up for each other when we show up for ourselves. You feel it and need it even if you weren't looking for it! When the studio shifted from all classic 26+2 to add hot pilates, hot vinyasa, etc, I struggled hard as someone that doesn't deal with change well! But I knew why they did it: to serve more people in the community in more ways. And I respect that because, yeah, we all need glute bridges..and I'll do them, though I would still rather do a 3rd set of triangle. You want the most amazing workouts, sweats, moments of peace, laughter, and a community that shows radical love? This is your spot.

Well once again my wife was right in convincing me to join her at Blaze. Janice became a member months prior to myself joining and as usual, I went with much reluctance, but we have never regretted a moment. We have a long history of gym memberships together. We met at a Boston area fitness center 37 years ago while I was running a road race, Janice was passing out water to the runners. While passing out water, Janice met my parents and it was love ever since!! As members of various fitness centers in the past, we never exercised in classes together until Blaze. The Blaze community has created such an embracing atmosphere and allows you the opportunity really challenge yourself. Since we have relocated to the Seacoast area and joined Blaze, we have developed friendships within Blaze. We feel so fortunate to have become members of the community and look forward to what lies ahead.

This is by far the best studio, in Portsmouth, for the best whole body work out you'll ever need, physically and mentally. Every teacher knows you as well as what injuries you may have and how to best handle them. I persuaded my husband to try to the hot pilates classes (he's always refused) and now he's addicted. You will not regret giving Blaze a try, . there are so many classes you can always find one to fit your time schedule. Without a doubt you'll enjoy and have fun and be excited for the the next one:)

I have been coming to Blaze for quite a few years on/off though in the last 2 years with consistency, always saying I should be this, should be that. Blaze has given me the opportunity to be part of my body, learning, accepting its needs and challenges. While on the trail through mental and physical challenges, its Yoga I come back to, its technique and strategies. I utilize stretching, breathing practice while bringing in confidence and strength to keep going. Focus, commitment, strength, and loving myself has been empowered by the compassionate, honest and selfless professionals at Blaze Yoga. Come change your mind, body and life one day at a time.

This is a busy studio for good reasons. Committed, talented and enthusiastic teachers push your limits, but also respect your limitations. The classes are a great mix of yogis, all practicing at their own pace. Newbies and veterans will feel comfortable here. When I first started, my back was pretty “fragile”. Yoga has clearly made me stronger and more flexible. I’d be a fool to stop doing this. Blaze provides classes throughout the day. When I started, it was only “Bikram style” classes. Now there’s lots of choices. The IHP class is a real workout, but it’s fun and the energy/music is terrific. Owners Sara and Jaylon are constantly growing/improving the studio. Despite its constant use, they manage to keep the studio meticulously clean. They clearly hold their staff to a high standard. Teachers are able and willing to answer questions. Blaze is an upbeat studio. I recommend it without reservation.. Change your body, change your life. Just go!

On the recommendation of my counselor I tried yoga at blaze. I started off doing a challenge for 12 weeks, I thought what did I get myself into. At the end of 12 weeks I was thinking where has this been all my life. The next step was applying yoga to improving my life quality which included helping me remove alcohol. I’m proud to say I am a sober Yogi. The entire staff at blaze are there for you To help you and see you succeed what ever your goal maybe. They’re kind words have gotten me through many a rough time in the last three years I can’t imagine life without them. Check out another blog at blaze labeled sober yogis.

Most accepting, encouraging yoga/ fitness environment I've ever experienced. I've been doing "aerobics" fitness classes since 1988. Have joined almost every gym / yoga studio in the seacoast. There are people practicing at ALL levels, all ages, all shapes, levels of flexibility & strength. It's NEVER too late to feel good, really good & this place can help.

Best yoga and pilates on the Seacoast! Lots and variety in times and types of exercise, a beautiful and welcoming studio, and a fabulous supportive community. Each of the teachers has his/her own style, but they're all wonderful and supportive. And Sarah and Jaylon are responsive and responsible studio owners--I love all they do in the local community.

There are no appropriate words to describe the amazing healing, compassionate, professional environment created by Sara & Jaylon and team at Blaze. You'll find physically challenging workouts like no other, physical healing, emotional healing, recovery from addictions, nutrition counseling...the resources available seem endless. Continuing research and education is at the forefront of their mission to restore your health, and maintain it.

Love this studio, all of the classes, teachers and the overwhelming sense of community within it. Their hot pilates class is so much fun solo and with friends. I always end up dancing and having a blast while also getting my a$$ kicked in the best way! I’ve introduced many friends to this community and am constantly talking about it. Absolutely love it!! Plus the teachers are hilarious and very motivating :)

The best collection of Hot Yoga and Pilates instructors are right here in our community. I have practiced in over 30 studios around the globe and I keep coming home to Blaze - its the best! A nice clean facility, expanded class offerings, kombucha on draft. Watch how quickly they learn your name and you start feeling better than evah!

Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. I am managing multiple injuries as an adult athlete...some are temporary, some are lifelong. By incorporating hot yoga at Blaze into my recovery routine, I was able to minimize my athletic degeneration as I healed, and managed some of the best performances of my career recently. Blaze will now be part of my lifelong routine.

Beautiful, friendly and homey studio. What an amazing, supportive community. The owners are knowledgable and so welcoming. I am an experienced practitioner of hot yoga and I highly reccomend the benefits of healing and overall heatlh the practice of Hatha yoga in a hot room provides. If you have injuries or haven't exercised for awhile, your joints can move more easily to start the healing process. It is also the best work out I have ever had and it has changed my life!
