I’ve been coming to this hot yoga studio for about a year now, and it has truly become such a meaningful outlet for me; part of my weekly routine and a place that’s changed so much for the better in my life.

Special shout-outs to Jon, Alex, Lidiia, Caitlin, Neil, and Amanda. They’re not only incredible instructors, but also genuinely welcoming people. I really admire the dedication, energy, and passion they bring to every class. Honestly, each instructor offers something unique, and every experience feels special in it's own way so you cannot go wrong with any class you book!

And of course, I can’t forget Jascha and the entire front desk team for their humor, kindness and made me feel at home from my first class and so on.

Super thankful for this place and already excited to renew my membership in 2026!

Over the summer I was trying to find a yoga studio in Bay Ridge because I wanted to expand my knowledge on yoga and become more flexible. I didn’t really think much beyond that. I then stumbled upon The Furnace - hot yoga? A COMPLETE GAME CHANGER. The Furnace has changed my life in more ways than I would have ever imagined. My body just feels better, which makes my mind feel better. It has been very beneficial for my mental health and I am so grateful to be apart of this community 🧡
The owners are so warm and welcoming and Every last one of the instructors are encouraging and kind, parallel to pushing you to your limits in such an encouraging way.
I look forward to continuing my practice and learning and growing.
Thank you! Much love - Lauren G

the furnace has truly changed my life. every teacher and team member radiates positivity, encouragement, and authenticity — you feel it the moment you walk in. there’s such a range of classes, from powerful and intense to deeply restorative, so there’s really something for everyone. the best part? you can tell the staff genuinely cares about your growth. show up consistently, both mentally and physically, and you’ll feel yourself transform. thank you furnace for deepening my love for yoga — on the mat and beyond. if you’re thinking about going, trust me, just go. you won’t regret it.🖤

Hmmmm where do I start this review ? I’ve been going to this hot yoga studio for a while now, and honestly, it’s become one of my favorite parts of the week. The space is always clean, peaceful, and perfectly heated — not overwhelming, just the right kind of warmth that melts your stress away.

Every instructor I’ve had so far has been amazing — knowledgeable, encouraging, and really attentive to everyone in the room, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. I’ve noticed huge improvements in my flexibility, strength, balance, and even my mood. The classes have this grounding energy that makes you feel completely reset when you walk out. It’s impossible for me to say who my favorite instructor is . I absolutely love taking classes with Alex, Amanda, Aliza, Caitlin, Lidiia, and Maria . They are truly the best instructors I’ve ever had. Their classes are so thoughtfully designed and perfectly structured — every sequence flows beautifully, and you can tell how much knowledge and intention they put into the teaching.explains everything clearly, give meaningful adjustments, and somehow know exactly how to push you while still making you feel comfortable and supported. I always leave the class feeling stronger, more centered, and inspired.

The community vibe is also great — everyone’s friendly and supportive, which makes it feel welcoming rather than intimidating. The front desk people are always so nice and tentative .Alyssa and Kate are the sweetest people I ever met . It’s definitely one of those studios where you can truly disconnect, sweat it out, and feel good both physically and mentally.

If you’re in Brooklyn and looking for a place to recharge, this studio is a gem. 🌿🧘‍♀️ ( PS: It’s worth a visit for anyone just to come here and admire Alex’s beauty🤪)

The Furnace in Bayridge Brooklyn has been a huge help with aiding me towards my personal goals. They offer a variety of yoga/workout classes along with various time slots that fit a busy single mom’s schedule with a full time career like me. I believe I have taken almost all the types of classes they offer, from the FAB workout classes to their Bikram yoga classes. And I have had the pleasure of being led by many of their staff members; shout out to Nancy, Jared, Neil, Alexandra, Jon and Lidiia. Their leadership and encouragement during each class helps me push myself a little bit more closer to a healthy balanced lifestyle.

Furnace Hot Yoga is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, kindness, and an atmosphere that feels like home. The classes are challenging in the best way— always pushing you to grow while also honoring your body and breath. My favorite class is Power Yoga with Alexandra and Lidiia, hot Vinyasa (SOS )with Kale, Hot Pilates with Neil, & Bikram hot Yoga with Jared, the list goes on, their second studio FORGE are absolutely incredible! Both spaces are like best friends, one right on top of the other, offering the perfect blend of strength and mindfulness. The instructors are supportive, knowledgeable, and inspiring, creating a space where you can sweat, release, and recharge. The energy in the studio is unmatched, clean, vibrant, and uplifting. Thank you to the whole Furnace team for building such a welcoming community and helping me show up as my best self, both on and off the mat. I can’t recommend this Studio enough!

The Furnace is an amazing place for people starting out with pilates! I had zero experience coming into it. The instructors were incredibly supportive and attentive with me, and all the other first timers. The space is very clean and accessible (especially after their renovations!) and customers service is 10/10! Super fast at solving any issues or answering questions. Their packages are super flexible and well priced as well! They have a variety of class packages that you can try and see what fits for you!

Erin Dacosta’s **Inferno Hot Pilates** class was incredible! 🔥 Her playlist was on point and it gave me the energy to push through even when the heat had me gasping. She kept us motivated the whole time, and I left feeling stronger.

I also have to say how much I love the furnace overall. It’s always a guaranteed good burn and the instructors truly make the difference.

Jon Jones especially is phenomenal — he knows exactly how to push us to our absolute max while still making the class fun and uplifting. Between Erin’s energy and Jon’s drive, this place has quickly become one of my favorite studios. 💪✨

I’ve been going to The Furnace since April, and it’s honestly been a game changer for me. The energy of the place is absolutely amazing, and it’s super clean and well-organized. The owners are incredibly nice, and the instructors are the best—knowledgeable, motivating, and always ready to help with form.

I’ve noticed such a difference since starting here. The classes push me physically but also leave me feeling mentally refreshed and recharged. Plus, they offer weight training in The Forge, which is a fantastic addition to the hot yoga and Pilates.

If you’re looking for a studio that’s supportive, high-energy, and results-driven, The Furnace is the place to go.

“If you need a good place to get your fire burning, this is it!! I was not new to physical activity, but very new to physical health! I walked into the studio in April 2025 and never look back!! Best way to describe the furnace is a family and fun atmosphere . I attend classes all week along with my wife and my daughter, and we have grown as a family.. so if you’re serious about health, this is your wealth!!

This studio has become my second sanctuary. From all of the friendly, intelligent, and motivating teachers, to the welcoming and grounded students who quickly become friends, to the beautiful and clean space, this studio has become a third space I didn’t know I needed. Sure, the classes push you physically and you sweat all your toxins away, but the real work is mental. I can’t sing enough praises for the peace of mind and cognitive clarity my practice has brought me. Much love to everyone at the furnace! ♥️

Flexibility has always been a challenge for me, but I can definitely see improvements in my mobility. All the instructors are fantastic, and the front desk staff is always so friendly. Some of the exercises can be tough, but the instructors are great about encouraging modifications and always remind you to just do your best.

Last year I was suffering from severe back pain. This year, no more! What changed? I started attending classes at the Furnace!

The facility itself is super nice: very clean, well-maintained, and state of the art in regards to the heating!

The instructors are welcoming, deeply knowledgeable, and super sensitive to the needs of their students. Across all different levels of intensity and kinds of yoga, I have not once had a class where I didn't feel like I belonged.

The quality of the yoga classes here are phenomenal. Easily some of the best I have ever experienced. My back pain went away after several of them! It was such an amazing relief.

After doing many yoga classes, I tried their Forge series of weight + aerobics. I was immediately hooked! Now, since my back pain was alleviated by the excellent yoga, the majority of my trips there are for Forge classes!

I love this place. I love the classes, the vibe, and the overall commitment to excellence.

This place is a true gem in the best neighborhood in Brooklyn!

I’ve been a regular at The Furnace for a year, mostly practicing yoga and Pilates. They’ve helped me feel more flexible, but I was still looking for something to build strength and tone my muscles.
Then I discovered Forge — the new class — and I’m in love with it! It’s the perfect combination of yoga, Pilates, dumbbell weight training, and a heated room. I’ve only done it for three days and already feel stronger, tighter, and more energized.
The studio environment is clean, calming, and beautifully designed. The teachers here are not only friendly and supportive but also highly professional. I also love that they constantly introduce new classes and formats — so it never feels boring. Every time I come, there’s something fresh and exciting.
This class is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. No need for the gym anymore — Forge has it all. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants both strength and flexibility! 🔥💪

I am highly impressed with this studio. As an avid practitioner of hot yoga and Pilates for over two decades, I have visited numerous studios across New York City. This studio stands out with its exceptional cleanliness, which is a significant plus for me. Additionally, it offers a range of amenities, including soap in the shower and blow dryers. The teaching staff and front desk are all professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Finally, the classes are of the highest quality and provide a comprehensive workout. The studio’s flexibility in offering classes at various times throughout the day allows for convenient scheduling. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience I had at Furnace. I will undoubtedly return in the future.

I have been taking hot pilate classes at The Furnace for about 9 months and it has completely changed my outlook on fitness and health! I was incredibly nervous and shy when first coming here but the owners/instructors are incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable in their craft, making it an incredibly inclusive environment for everyone. They also just opened up the Forge (2nd floor) which includes weight training so you don't need to go to a traditional gym anymore. The front desk always greets members with warm welcome, the studio is incredibly clean and safe to leave your belongings behind, and the mobile app is easy to use to book classes in advance. I can't wait to continue taking more classes and continue to challenge myself to accomplish more of my fitness goals here!

I absolutely love The Furnace! Joining this studio has been a transformative experience for me, both physically and mentally. Since moving to Bay Ridge from Hoboken, I've found it to be a fantastic place and a welcoming transition. The classes are diverse, and the schedule is refreshingly dynamic. Some of my favorites are Bikram (both Flow and 75), Hot Vinyasa, Power Flow, Pilates, and Ashtanga. They've recently expanded their offerings and space, now featuring heated weight classes. I just tried FORGE, and I'm absolutely hooked! If only there were more hours in the day—I’d be taking even more classes.

Every instructor I've had the pleasure of learning from has been exceptional, each bringing their own unique touch to their high-quality teaching. The studio itself is always clean and inviting. Alex and Jascha, the owners, truly care about maintaining top-notch standards and fostering a strong sense of community.

A special shoutout to my regular instructors, who consistently impress with their expertise and passion: Lidiia, Alexandra, Adil, Aliza, Maia, Johnathan, Jon, Kyle, Neil, and Jared. They, along with the entire team, make every class an outstanding experience!

If you’re looking for a place that elevates your fitness journey and feels like a second home, The Furnace is where you need to be.

My experience with this studio was extremely disappointing due to the dismissive and unprofessional behavior of both Lidiia and Alex. I wanted to pay with my card but was uncomfortable leaving it at the front desk. When I raised this valid concern, Lidiia arrogantly responded, ‘The card is not going to go anywhere,’ completely dismissing my worries. Her attitude showed a blatant disregard for professionalism, basic respect, and client concerns.

Alex’s behavior was no better. Instead of addressing my concerns, she repeatedly deflected by emphasizing how ‘beloved’ Lidiia is, as if that excused the lack of professionalism I experienced. This dismissive and condescending attitude made it clear that my concerns were not taken seriously.

What’s worse is that Alex only started to change her tone after I removed my public review, proving that protecting reputations is more important to them than respecting and valuing their clients.

If you care about being treated with respect and your concerns being taken seriously, I would strongly recommend avoiding this studio. This experience showed me how little they prioritize their clients.

At first I wasn’t to sure what to expect. I was told to try through word of mouth from my friends, and let me say at The Furnace you will definitely be challenged to push yourself to your greatest ability. Everyone is so warm, welcoming, supportive, and motivating so you never have to feel any sense of judgement. I am always looking forward to every class I take and what new goals I can set for myself. Every instructors style is different, which makes it even more enjoyable every class you take. I am beyond happy that I decided to join, and if you ever want to try Hot Pilates & Yoga, don’t think twice about trying AND joining The Furnace!

Inferno hot Pilates is an amazing class! I love this studio. Every instructor makes class worth going too. It’s challenging in the best way possible. It’s medicine for your body and mind. Single best thing you can do to get yourself healthy and strong (and transform your body). The studio is friendly and inviting. There is no stuck up vibe (which is probably one of the things I like most about The Furnance). They also have a variety of class packages to choose from. If you been wanting to start working out or want to add something to your workout regime I highly recommend signing up for a class. Class is also super fun and engaging (and the best music).

I don’t normally leave reviews for anything, but this place really deserves 5 🌟s. There are quite a few things I love about this place. 1) everyone works there including the owners of the studio would normally know the name of people who come in to practice, and greet them by first names.

2) The variety of classes they offer make coming in everyday not boring(I interchange Pilates and hot yoga)

3) the instructors there are very professional, most them brought their fun personalities into the classroom, making the classes even more fun.

4) everyone coming in to the classroom are very focused and working very hard, the energy is making me want to work even harder.

For those of you who’s driving, parking isn’t that easy, so you need to make time to find parking. And the classes are filled up pretty quickly, you have to register a few days in the advance to actually get into the classes you want.

I love practice hot yoga at Furnace. I started with their first month unlimited package last month. It's only $99. It's well worth it. The place is clean. The instructors and owners are very nice respecting all members. I am continuing with their monthly package. Highly recommended.

I’m so happy I found this great yoga studio. The minute I walked through the doors I felt a kind, warm, friendly, positive and energetic environment.
The owners Alexandra and Jascha are so nice and very welcoming. They make sure their studio is running smoothly and efficiently to meet all our needs. All their Yoga and Pilates instructors are full of energy , fun, qualified and supportive. They all lead a diverse array of classes. Since I joined 1.5 months ago I feel physically and mentally better after time spent there. There classes have helped me so much with my back issues(I have a genetic issue with my spine). One of their instructor’s noticed I wasn’t doing something right and she corrected my form and showed me. From that class on , my back pain is dissolving and I have no need to rush into surgery. Form and Alignment is what it’s about. I am very grateful to have found them.
“The Furnace “ is an oasis of calm in a busy and often chaotic world.
Definitely give them a try! You will not regret it 😊.

I have been going to the Furnace for a little over a year now. I came back to Yoga studios after a three year hiatus and I can’t say enough amazing things about this studio, the owners and the amazing teachers. Before attending The Furnace - I went to every Manhattan studio you can think of - none of them compare to the warm environment of this studio, the incredible range of different classes and variety, the beautiful and clean facilities, and of course the next level workout and zen combo you get here. There is something here for everyone. The inferno Pilates class is better than any barre class I have taken, the vinyasa class is a beautiful balance of traditional yoga poses alongside a very deep and engaging stretch, and of course the bikram yoga class is everything you could want and more. I have taken classes with Alex, Lidia, Adil, Aliza, and the Farfan brothers. All excellent. This is also not a complacent studio - they’re always trying to add new classes, genuinely listen to their community and adjust, and constantly better their facilities. I wish them continued success and hope everyone has the chance to take a class here! You will come out of it feeling a sense of peace, accomplishment and a lifted spirit.

I wouldn't have gotten through wedding planning stress without The Furnace! A true gem in Bay Ridge, with passionate, knowledgable and motivational trainers. The workout is flat out amazing, with a variety of class types and times throughout the week- literally can fit into anyone's schedule. Music, vibes and overall aura of this studio are exceptional. One more thing: get ready to sweat..a lot! Welcoming atmosphere, run by kind people who make you want to come back. I don't think anyone can ask for more out of a yoga studio.

Fantastic studio with amazing teachers! I’ve been attending for a few months now and find myself constantly looking forward to my next class. The leadership team is always innovating, adding new options and making improvements to keep the space exciting for members.

While my ideal scenario would be having this studio in my home so I wouldn’t have to walk 9 blocks (one can dream!), I happily make the trip because of the incredible physical and mental strength I’ve gained. It’s truly a great space, and I can’t recommend it enough!

It was my first yoga studio experience ever, in The Furnace and it was aaaa-maaazing! 🤩 I’ve only practiced yoga at home following youTube vids online and yoga apps. If you’ve only practiced at home like me, I highly encourage you to enroll in this studio, you can easily book and track your class schedule in their app. Practicing yoga in a heated room is an absolute must try, feels so refreshing and detoxifying right after class. I took the 75-min original hot yoga class with teacher Janice. She was incredible and motivating. They’re all very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for bringing hot yoga to the neighborhood. 🧘‍♀️

Update: 4 months later, I’m still having the best yoga studio experience in The Furnace! Trust me, All the yoga teachers here are ze masters of their craft. 🙌 Start your yoga journey and join the fun!

9.11.2024 I was passively aggressively denied access to train at Furnace. I was told that they don't babysit and my 9 year old and I weren't welcomed if there was no care taker. Im a single homeschool parent with a child with no behavioral issues. My child is welcomed at all the cross training facilities I train at. She would quietly sit in lobby doing school work till class is over. I would respect if this was a policy or an interview with manager or owner to make this decision. The nasty response that they don't babysit, requires front desk training. I am a international professional athlete in dance looking to expand my cross training and a native to this neighborhood. I will take this cold rejection as a redirection from god to seek a top notch hot yoga training from top professionals. Based on my experience with front desk, I decided to inquire about the faculty on website and theres no communication of credentials. From my understanding this facility recently reopened and it is a fragile time to be unnecessarily condescending to potential clients. Quality over the neighborhood travel convenience.

The Furnace is a true gem in Bay Ridge. Absolutely everyone is welcoming, supportive, motivating and knowledgable! The studio itself is beautiful, clean and inviting! The classes are never the same twice and the playlists are always rocking!! I myself have been on a journey back to my own wellness this year and The Furnace has been vital in helping me reach my goals! I am down over 50 pounds this year and am coming off of medications Ive been on for years because I’m finally at a healthy weight!! I used to be very intimidated by gyms/studios, but let me tell you, the heaviest weight at any gym/studio is always just the front door!! Walk through the door, you will not be sorry! In fact, you’ll have the best hour of your day!! I look forward to going everyday, I block it off on my calendar, sometimes I go more than once in a day! The Furnace is a treasure! I am so, so grateful to have them here in the neighborhood!

From my first class at The Furnace I knew it would be a special place!
So far in my first 2 months since joining the studio I gained muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and a great way to regulate my stress.
I initially joined The Furnace to grow into my yoga practice, but I have found so much more. I always feel welcomed and part of a great community!
I love the cleanliness of the studio, the variety of yoga/hot Pilates classes and the highly trained and motivating instructors.
I appreciate how easy is to book a class through the app, and even better how easy is to get into waitlisted classes thanks to the late cancel and no show policy. Which allows all members to attend every class!
Overall, you can just tell owners Alex and Jascha put a lot of effort to provide members a great experience!
I’m so OBSESSED with the studio and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! 🙌🏼

I don’t like heat. So, it didn’t make sense when I first saw The Furnace’s giant orange HOT YOGA wall and it seemed to call out to me. I managed to avoid the Call of the Wall for months – I was too busy, it would be too expensive, it would be too HOT, I would faint! I made up a new excuse each time I walked by until last April, when having gained enough weight to make my hips hurt and my clothes almost impossible to squeeze into, I grabbed a flyer and changed my life. Owners Jascha and Alex (& Blueberry!) take the stewardship of their members’ health seriously. To that end, they have created an incredibly beautiful, functional and immaculate practice studio that offers myriad classes weekly. The instructors are passionate, charming and experts in their disciplines. I also learned that controlled heat in an exercise practice is not only therapeutic, but cathartic. And, as I have lost weight, gained actual strength AND inner strength over the last 4 months, I know that I have found a practice that anchors my life in ways that I couldn’t do on my own. Thank you.

It’s been a great journey for me restarting my practice at The Furnace after a 12+ year hiatus from in-room Bikram and 4+ years without regular Pilates. I was hesitant at first—it took me a whole year to gather the courage to try after first discovering the studio—but since I started, I’ve maintained 3-4 classes per week and have greatly enjoyed all the benefits.

In the past six months, I’ve lost 30 pounds of fat while maintaining muscle and strength on top of quieting my mind and practicing my patience. I initially took Bikram classes five days a week. It felt amazing to be back in the room, surrounded by the communal energy and guided by a skilled instructor. The heat and sweating create such a powerful detox, while the poses build strength, flexibility, stability and stillness.

However, I quickly realized I didn’t have the leg strength I needed to fully engage in the standing series. Although I was nervous to try "Inferno Hot Pilates" (which sounds terrifying!), I knew I needed the class’s focus on strengthening the legs, glutes, quads, and hamstrings.

The Pilates class is a full-body workout, including cardio, core, and upper body segments. It’s definitely challenging, but I’m always happy to see the diversity in class—people of all ages and fitness levels. The key, I think, is to focus on yourself and go at your own pace. While the class is structured around HIIT, taking slow and steady movements helps you get through it and prepare for the next one.

Together, these classes have helped me tone my body and refocus my mind, boosting my confidence for additional training and conditioning outside of the studio. I wouldn’t have regained that confidence or adaptability without The Furnace.

The studio itself is one of the best hot yoga studios I’ve ever been in—clean, well-ventilated, and spacious. The class offerings are wonderfully varied and ample. The lighting is perfect, and the overhead fans provide a much-needed blast of air now and then. Plus, the changing rooms and check-in area are great.

Lastly, my favorite thing about joining The Furnace has been the community. I’ve met some incredible people who inspire me every day. From the knowledgeable, passionate instructors and dedicated owners to my fellow students, yogis, athletes, and first-timers—the studio truly is a community of warm and welcoming people. My favorite part of the day is walking from my home office to and from The Furnace, seeing familiar faces on the street, and feeling grateful for my time here in Bay Ridge, feeling genuine gratitude for the present moment.

Namaste.

If you're reading this post, you've likely considered taking a class at The Furnace. Don't hesitate—take one! You'll thank yourself for it.

They offer various styles of hot yoga along with pilates and pop-up classes with many classes from early morning to late evening. All the classes are heated and challenging, but there's a welcoming atmosphere for all where you can come as you are and do the best you can do for yourself that day.

The lockers and showers are very convenient and the studio is maintained well. I feel that Alex, Jascha and the instructors have created an amazing space to practice yoga and each visit is refreshing and invigorating.

Finally two things I love the most - sauna and pilates - all in one place! If you are still hesitating, definitely try it. You'll get addicted. The way you feel after, the way your body looks, the way your skin glows - you can't get it from any other kind of workout. You'll be coming back! You are sweating and working hard but at the same time you are relaxing and getting a major detox. Don't worry about not being at the expert level - I feel like just being in that room already does the job. You can skip some difficult parts without feeling guilty. I got hooked up on it myself and got a few of my friends hooked up!

I was never previously a fan of working out until I started going to the Furnace - I have tried many other gyms and studios in the past but have never been able to stick to a workout routine until now. The mental and physical benefits I have gained from these classes is truly amazing! I had several lingering injuries and joint problems and taking classes regularly here truly healed me in a way nothing else has.

The entire team at The Furnace, from the owners Alex and Jascha, the instructors (shout out to Adil, Jon, Jared, Amanda, Nancy, and Sarah!) and the rest of the team are so great and encouraging to truly create a welcoming environment for students of all levels and make the studio a great place to be. While I started only wanting to take the Bikram yoga classes, I soon checked out the other classes they offer, like Inferno Pilates and Hot Vinyasa and quickly became hooked on those as well.

Thank you to The Furnace for making me a believer in hot yoga - it has truly changed my life!

My friend found this place in my neighborhood a month ago and we both signed up and now we're hooked. The studio is well maintained and kept clean. The instructors are fantastic and always work with you to better your practice. They acknowledge that we all have our good days and the no-so-good days. But they continue to motivate you so that you can finish your pose and honor your practice.
I have never tried Hot Pilates classes before here but I'm hooked too. When I just need the mediation and stretching I always go for the Hot Yoga (90 mins 26+2). I take the Hot Pilates classes when I need to work on my core. Classes always fill up and that's OK because we're all in the class to work towards a similar goal.
Bonus is when Blueberry 🐶the studios's canine greeting committee stops in to pay a visit. That is the moment when you realize all else is all right. 💛💖🙏🪷🧘🏻‍♀️

The instructors their is professional and passionate, i m very motivated by them and slowly I become a member and going there three times a week. Also love the music they choose for the class which pushes me went through these Pilate cardio workouts. Hope this studio could open up more locations and let more people experience what I love 🥰🥰🥰

I absolutely LOVE this studio! The space itself is gorgeous, clean and welcoming. There is a class nearly every hour, 7 days a week, so regardless what my schedule is, I can always work a class into it. The classes themselves are challenging, yet welcoming for all levels- and the instructors care and make sure everyone is moving properly. The practicing community there are so kind and welcoming as well- feels like a second home. Also important to note that it is owned by a beautiful couple who prioritize satisfaction, enjoyment and safety- they treat the patrons like friends and not payouts and are always coming up with fun challenges to keep the community engaged. I really could go on and on because how much I love this place- stemming from what I’ve previously listed, and how good I feel about myself from the workouts (and the heat 🔥)
Really happy I found them 🧘🏻‍♀️❤️

My second review, which means I feel compelled to share this experience. I appreciate the care that Alex and company are taking to ensure that there is a sense of community-respect and purpose. The details don’t go unnoticed. I’m glad that Adil, Jon, and Lidiia are available multiple times per week. Each one has particularly impacted my practice.

This studio is helping me to be the quiet warrior I have to be in other settings and I’m forever grateful that I live only a block away. 🖤

I have been doing Hot Yoga now for over 7 years, and I have become experienced with certain aspects of yoga studios. The Furnace by far is the best yoga studio that I have ever been to. The Furnace has the best floor , the best heating system and by far the cleanliness studio I have ever been to. It such a pleasure coming to The Furnace. I am happy here and happy it’s in my neighborhood in Bay Ridge. Alex and her husband are very professional and always on top of the business. I highly recommend The Furnace to people, hot yoga has changed my life for the better and it could do the same for you !!

Love this hot yoga studio and their classes! Really enjoy the classes with Arturo and Aliza. Both the heated vinyasa (60 mins) and bikram yoga (90 mins) were a perfect balance for a beginner like myself. The studio is very clean and well maintained. The owners are super nice and welcoming. Really appreciative that there is a hot yoga studio in Bay Ridge so it's convenient for me to go regularly.

Also, the best part is after attending the hot yoga classes for over 4 months I don't need to go to the chiropractor anymore which is a big change for me.

Highly recommended it for individuals who wants to exercise with lower back pain and just want to find some zen in their life.

I had the pleasure of stepping into the hottest yoga studio in town, and I have to say, it was an absolutely mind-blowing experience! From the moment I entered the studio, I knew I was in for something extraordinary.

First and foremost, the ambiance of this place is unparalleled. The moment you walk through the doors, the warm, inviting atmosphere envelopes you, creating an instant sense of tranquility and comfort. The dimly lit room, provides a perfect sanctuary for relaxation and self-discovery.

The instructors here are pure yoga gurus, passionate about their craft and dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. Their expertise and guidance throughout the practice are unparalleled. They create an environment that is inclusive, supportive, and non-judgmental, making it perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike. Their attention to detail in correcting postures and offering personalized modifications ensures a safe and effective practice for everyone.

Now, let's talk about the heat! Be prepared to unleash your inner warrior as the studio cranks up the temperature. The hot yoga sessions here are intense, challenging, and incredibly rewarding. The heat helps to enhance flexibility, and deepen your practice. Trust me, you will leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and completely invigorated!

What truly sets this hot yoga studio apart is a variety of classes they offer. They have something for everyone. The class schedule is diverse, allowing for flexibility in fitting sessions into your busy schedule.

Moreover, the studio is well-maintained, impeccably clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. The changing rooms are spacious and fully stocked with all the amenities you could need.

First off there is an amazing energy here as soon as you walk in. First class? No problem... you’ll feel welcomed. As for the classes, I honestly can’t express enough how great I feel after each class. There are a variety of classes offered too. I’ve been able to strengthen and heal through both the Pilates and Yoga classes. Doing this can keep your mind and body healthy and it’s fun too. Instructors add their own flair to their classes, and for yoga they manage to do it without straying from the traditional practice. The space is clean. Staff and members are friendly. It’s easy to feel comfortable here. I’ve been at this a few months now. I was new at it and I love it.

The Furnace will challenge you to the core and hook you so you come back for more! It'll crush your ego and rebuild it even stronger. I took my first Hot Yoga 90 class over the summer when the heat and humidity outside were constantly unbearable and the thought of purposely practicing yoga in a room heated to 100+ degrees was enough to make you faint. Your body acclimates to the heat after a few classes and eventually all you notice is how good you feel when you float out of the studio. Be sure to regularly check their schedule as new classes (ashtanga in Bay Ridge!!) are continually being added and alternated so you can try different classes without needing to adjust your schedule.

I was looking for something to compliment my half marathon training and this checked the boxes. I tried the studio pre-Covid and was pleasantly surprised to see that a wonderful remodel (no more carpet!). Another notable change is that if you are a novice like me- you can attend most classes (precovid they had varying levels). I love the late 8pm classes during the week (I can hang with my kids after school and then go). The studio will help achieve my goal of lengthening, mindful breathing, and carrying some less weight from the stresses of the outside world. I always leave the studio with feeling lighter and happier, glowing skin (ask any dermatologist, they’ll tell you sweating is how to get rid of toxins), and proud of myself that I took an hour to take care of myself. Such a wonderful treat. Owners are wonderful. Stay local , support local.

The Furnace is a gorgeous studio with the most welcoming community. Alex is warm and motivating - a phenomenal teacher. You will be comfortable as a beginner or an avid yogi - the environment oozes warmth, healing & empowerment.

The studio itself is pristine. The floors, locker rooms & showers are all immaculate.

Join a class & you won’t be disappointed! 🧘‍♂️🙏
