Hotbox is a special place—cultivating a sense of engaged community and mindfulness through its excellently delivered classes, facilitated by a relentlessly wonderful roster of teachers. Of course, "rating" a yoga studio for these characteristics kind of feels like rating a gym based on the obvious merits of exercise; but, the interactions here—from the very first time I walked in the door—have made my trips there feel like highlights of the week. Sign-up is easy; classes start on time; facilities and equipment are functional and well maintained. Can't recommend highly enough!

I love the room and the light that came in. I loved the heat but then I also loved the fan that goes on. I love the teacher Julie Basla. I thought she was terrific and I really liked the people who go there ..so the only drawback is it’s in Manayunk and I live in Center City, but other than that, I would definitely come out again!

There is no other yoga studio that compares to hot box the quality of yoga that is done there is like no other . The teaching directions alone are not Implemented in some of the other Yoga studios that I’ve tried. The only reason why I tried different places is because my sister recently has gotten into Yoga and she doesn’t like the hot part. I’ve tried three different studios and I won’t continue to go there especially after going to the hotbox Yoga it’s like no other !!!!!

Amazing first class! Kicked my butt but I'm excited to do the 40 classes and sweat it out. I learned a lot the first class and can't wait to see improvement in my balance and stability! The instructor Sarah Panetta was awesome!!!! More fast paced than I expected but it was so worth it and love the energy.. glad I’ve joined!.

Update review: Hotbox Yoga never disappoints, no matter who the instructor is. Each instructor has their own unique flow, but I always leave feeling good and better than went starting each class. Love it here.

Hotbox Yoga is a lovely community that is a welcoming space for beginners and experts alike. I started attending classes when I first moved to the area nearly 4 years ago, and I’ve made sure it’s remained a part of my routine. Each instructor offers their own unique twist on the flow that keeps things interesting. Some of my favorite instructors are Steve Marshall, Ava Samuel, and Sarah Panetta. My yoga classes are something I look forward to most in my week. Be prepared to sweat and work hard!

I joined Hotbox in January 2022 as a new resident of Manayunk, Philadelphia.

Since then, I have re-found a love for yoga I had thought I lost forever, fell in love with a discipline that is more than a difficult and rewarding exercise and made wonderful friends. I am so grateful for the calm (and fun!) that Hotbox has brought into my life and for the truly exceptional instructors. I can’t recommend Ava, Sarah P, Steve M, Larry, Molly, Julie and Coco enough, however, all the instructors are fantastic.

I recently moved to the suburbs of Philadelphia and now enjoy the Ambler studio. While the “vibes” between the two locations are different, I love both equally.

Thank you, Hotbox! You are so loved.

Larry Five Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Larry is a gem at Hot Box. A gifted and talented instructor.

This studio has completely changed my life. I remember my first day here pre-Covid where I got a chance to try out a class. I had been trying a few things to see what I could be consistent with and this practice has brought new meaning to my life. Both physically and mentally I have grown into someone I didnt think existed. Words fall short of expressing my gratitude for this space and the people in it. Special shoutout to Sarah, Tim and Ava who have helped me take my practice to new heights! You guys are amazing and Im so grateful. If youre thinking about trying it, stop. Just do it. You’ll never look back.

This is Deborah, not Oscar my son. His google account hijackes my computer. Hotbox is one of THE best places I've ever been to for hot yoga! The front desk staff were excellent and informative, and made for a smooth registration experience for a first time participant. The instructor was excellent! I had been searching for Larry ever since he left another facility during the pandemic, and as soon as I heard he was a hotbox, I signed up. He has high standards so I knew your place would have to live up to them. He's worth following and his guidance is always sublime. He is so challenging, and I need that in yoga (ex ballerina, current fitness instructor: barre, pilates, aquatics, zumba and a total type A who pushes herself). I also asked about the instructor training after I met two current participants, one in class and one observing the class, and they were also open and generous with their time and information. The location is perfect for me, since I live relatively close, and I hadn't found a studio I really "loved" even though I've been practicing yoga for 3 decades at various studios and even gyms I had access to like the YMCA, and JCC, as well as boutique studios. The space was clean, simple, modern, and safe. I felt welcomed all around.

Hot Box Yoga is a Premier Philadelphia Institution. It is world class. It’s stood the test of time as a place where Americanized Bikram Yoga is always testing the practitioner’s limits. CrossFitters, Bikers, Yoga Freaks, gym rats, and Athletes know - come to Hot Box and you better bring it. You can always dial it down if you need. Thank you Hot Box Yoga for being the Heart and Soul of Manayunk for so many years. Peace and Namaste.

Enjoyed the “Gentle Yoga” (hot yoga) session, my first time doing yoga and my first visit to your studio… great instructor and ambiance. It was a different and challenging “mindful” experience for sure (especially for my aging body). Learning the yoga “lingo” will help. :-) Thank you! Looking forward to joining and engaging more regularly.

This is a wonderful studio to practice in. I am in love with this place. I had never done hot yoga before coming to hotbox, and I was completely out of shape. From my first class until now, I have been treated with nothing but kindness. Everyone in the studio is very kind. If you are looking for a place with great energy and no body shaming to practice yoga, look no further.

This is a wonderful hot yoga studio. The space itself is gorgeous with its tall vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Especially in the winter, the bright space elevates the practice. My first time going, I forgot my mat and they very kindly loaned me one and a towel.

To the negative reviews below, in any business a singular event can happen that really sours that clients experience but I wish people didnt run to google reviews to leave unscathing reviews that stay permanently attached to the business. This is truly a well run, clean studio with a great schedule, agenda and instructors and have delivered a consistently wonderful yoga practice when I attend.

My first experience here was average however my second interaction not the greatest. I had access to the studio as a ClassPass user and was running a little behind for my class this morning. Two women staff were at the front one was extremely nasty and cold while the other was helpful. The entire interaction happened to quickly to get names but thank you the the woman who found the time to be helpful. The other woman was so rude I decided not to stay for class and will not be returning. Customer service here could be better!

I've been a competitive athlete for 10 years and I'm appalled at the HIIT class I just took. There is no benefit to running a high intensity class in a 98 degree room (yes, I looked at the wall thermometer) that's packed with 30 people. It will not improve your fitness. It will not build strength. It will not help your cardiovascular health. 22 burpees in a row at that temperature is doing nothing but making you sick.

Here is what it will do, though:
-cause heat stroke
-cause electrolyte imbalance
-negatively impact form
-make you feel like you are working harder than you actually are, which is a gimmick gyms use to make you think you are getting a good workout
-cause injury

People threw up. People couldn't fully participate. And for what? The whole 15 minutes of actual work that we did that would have been better spent as 30 minutes of work at an appropriate temperature? It's a poorly thought out gimmick.

At best it's ineffective, and at worst it's negligent.

I wish I could give zero stars here but it's not an option.

For lack of better words, I am EXTREMELY angry regarding your business practices.

First of all, I try to call and your line goes straight to voicemail and leaves an option to either a) leave a voicemail b) email the email address provided or c) text the number provided. Well guess what? I have done all of the three items listed above multiple times and to no avail, have been unable to reach anyone or have an email or phone call returned.

Unfortunately, bank account information was tied to the monthly subscription, and subsequently, that bank account had to be cancelled. So guess what now? You aren't getting your payments in the future. Ever. For lack of better words again, you people are a bunch of inconsiderate scam artists who should have the business shut down as soon as possible for your behavior and horrible business practices.

You have already been reported to the better business bureau and your studio has a very bad review on their website as somewhere no one should go or trust with their hard earned money.

I can't say enough horrible things about this place. Do not go here, provide them with banking information and please warn your friends.

Very welcoming presence through the whole facility. I always go solo and everyone is very friendly. The staff is always happy to help and have great attitudes. I find great value in compassionate staff so their flow could be bad but I'd still go. BUT THE FLOW IS AWESOME. Brad has a kick-ass, balanced persona and has a talent for reverse-engineering positions to optimize your flow. Great instructor. Jane has one of those fascinating classes that just change the way you think about things. Makes you go "Ohhhh I have never had that thought." I've always appreciated mind-expansion in classes and instructors. Kim Luby will make you laugh and think and is great at pushing you to push yourself without being pushy.

Anyway, I just wanted to help any of you fellow travelers looking for your next studio following a move. Get after it! (with love)

TL;DR - 10/10 - Exceptional experience
