I’ve been a YoBa girlie for years and I love this new location. It’s not far from their original location and the studio is beautiful. I love that they offer a range of class types for a well rounded fitness experience. The instructors are friendly and helpful with form during class. I tried other yoga studios and just never felt as comfortable as I did at YoBa. My favorite class is barre! It’s low impact but still challenging every time.

YoBa is a wonderful place!! The instructors are amazing and encouraging, and the community is welcoming and motivating. The different class types offer good variety while allowing you to build strength, mind-body connection, and functional fitness. It is a great place to improve both your physical and mental health!

OBSESSED! I always get a great workout at YOBA studio. My favorite classes are YOBA and Barre.. and my favorite instructor is Teresa (she is super friendly and takes the time to help the class perfect their form). Every class ends with a cold, signature scented towel - which is the best way to unwind at the end of a hot workout. I love both locations, but the RIW location is BEAUTIFUL.

I really wanted to like this studio because of it's great location and appealing outer aesthetics. First off, I found the majority of their instructors to be very competent and friendly in their work. Unfortunately, I had a few bad experiences in this studio which is why I'm giving them 1 star. I had to miss one class, which I notified the studio the when I realized I had a medical emergency at hand. They still proceeded to charge me, even though I let them know about the medical emergency, and per their general manager, no exceptions are made even if you have a medical emergency at hand because they don't want to give "preferential treatment to anyone". Most studios I've been to excuse an absence if it's some sort of emergency and not a common occurrence. I have two infants and this policy is not family-friendly as I never know when I'm going to wake up to a sick child that has to stay home from daycare. Secondly, for being somewhat of a newer studio here in Raleigh, their equipment is old and not in the most ideal shape. Their barre mats are pretty smelly; mine at least had a very bad smell emanating from it, so much so that it was distracting me during class. The sliders are old and no longer slide on the wooden floors appropriately and their ankle weights are falling apart, to the point that some of their patrons had to switch them out midclass. For the price and newness of the studio, I would hope for better equipment, a more understanding cancellation policy, and an overall elevated experience. Not for me, Yoba studio.

The community and trainers at YoBA are wonderful! The workouts are always challenging regardless of which trainer and I love have they all have their own style and flare. If you are looking for a studio, do yourself and favor & JOIN!!

What a journey! I had never thought to try YoBa because I was strictly a yoga girl. Life changing. That’s what it was for me. I have inflammatory arthritis and the infrared heat has been reducing my discomfort for years. I can also attribute this to the variations of classes. I take them all! And I can’t say enough about the amazing playlists, teachers, and kindness of others in the space. I’m so glad I found YoBa studio.

Yoba is so creative! Their combination of workouts from yoga to cardio are always improving and keeping things interesting. I’ve been to over 700 classes and hoping for hundreds more! Keep up the great work Yoba team!

A great studio, with incredible teachers and class variety. It's a great escape when I walk into YoBa and I have enjoyed the time for myself and moving however I'm feeling that day. The Iron works is a beautiful YoBa space!

Y’all, finding a place you’re excited to come workout at consistently can be tricky - look no further! After two kiddos I’ve finally found something I can stick to with YoBa. The instructors are incredible - Nicola is a fave! The music always rocks. The Barre 45, Strength 45, and YoBa 45 are my fave. I get a full workout (read: super sweat sesh!) in under an hour! YoBa studio is your place!

YoBa is the best yoga studio in Raleigh. So happy I found the YoBa community this year. No matter if you’re a beginner, dropping in, or have years of practice under your belt, this studio is for everyone. My favorite classes are yoga and strength, but I love the variety that is available, the teachers, and the Iron Works studio. Drop in if you’ve been thinking about it!

I’ve been a member at YoBa for several years and this new space is well deserved! I love having the opportunity to take a variety of classes and be a part of a community where instructors and front desk staff know who I am. The space itself has been beautifully curated and the best little perk is the fantastic bathroom/shower for a post-movement rinse off. I recommend YoBa to anyone who wants an inclusive and refreshing way to move!

From the thoughtfully curated workouts to the warm, friendly instructors; every part of YoBa is top knotch! The variety of classes they offer is everything you could ever need.

I first tried YoBa at one of their YoBa in the yard sessions (before their new Iron Works location was open) & immediately signed up for a membership after… that’s how hooked I was! After opening, Iron Works exceeded my expectations. The studio is clean, beautifully designed, and provides the ideal environment to unwind and focus on yourself!

I just finished my first month at Yoba and it’s safe to say that I’m obsessed. I was looking for a space with multiple class types and times because I am never doing just 1 type of workout. Yoba is perfect with all their offerings. The space is beautiful and I love all the instructors that I’ve had so far. I have the 8xmonth membership and I think I have to upgrade because that’s not enough!

I was looking for a studio where I could go ~5 days a week without getting bored and have options for different class types - YoBa is perfect for this!

The Iron Works location is absolutely gorgeous, stocked with new equipment, plenty of easy parking, and very friendly teachers (I low-key want to be friends with a lot of them). An added plus is that they're really invested in helping you stay committed and meet your goals. I love everything about it!

YoBa is a staple in the Raleigh community and the Iron Works location is absolutely stunning. I’ve been a member since YoBa originally opened and it just keeps getting better and better. Sam, Nicola, and Hannah have created this amazing space that feels like a second home.

The entire team takes the time to get to know each member.. and somehow memorizes EVERY. SINGLE. PERSONS name… it’s wild. You’re not going to find a better LOCAL studio and now with two locations, there is so much to choose from.

The cold signature scented towels are the perfect end to a challenging class.

The instructors change up the classes every week so it feels fresh each time you go. The classes have functional exercises and movements that I experience frequently at work and home, and/or they are movements that have helped me with my flexibility and strength (especially core strength). The instructors promote a no-judgment environment so you can focus on how you feel instead of how you look. I love being a member here!

This studio has an awesome variety of classes and is accessible to people of all fitness levels. They thought of everything to make your class experience the best. My greatest fear in group exercises classes is walking into a room and not knowing where to go but Yoba has all the spots marked out and set up for you so if you have anxiety like me, it goes away. Instructors are great and I’m excited to add this to my fitness routine. Such a great addition to Raleigh Iron Works!
