I’ve been taking classes since AKT opened in March 2023 and love these ladies! I’ve never felt passionate about working out, mostly did it out of guilt which meant that I didn’t do it consistently and didn’t enjoy it. This is the first time I can say I love working out and I think there are several reasons. First, the dance inspired content is fun and allows you to take the class at your level. Maybe that’s your fitness level or maybe that’s your intensity level based on your mental wellness that day. The team here celebrates that you showed up in whatever way you did and encourages you take the class in whatever way you need. Second, is the culture this team has created. For the first time, I feel like I belong, like I can be myself and be comfortable. They’ve got some magic way of making us all feel that way. I love watching them do it, making each individual feel like just showing up matters to them. The people who come here are all different shapes and sizes, cultures and ages, of all varying fitness levels. The AKT culture truly is inclusive and diverse and brings people together to belong to something positive that builds up your self confidence for just being your authentic self and not for trying to turn yourself into something better. And maybe that’s the big difference! I feel like I am enough just the way I am so now I workout for the positive energy and self love they’ve taught me. And they don’t know that many days I’ve shown up on the verge of tears and their kindness has helped me through some tough times.
And lastly, the music and lights and mirror ball are so fun!! I love the theme classes! And I burn a ton of calories! My arm muscles are showing up and my butt looks great! I cannot thank all of these AKT ladies enough! They’ve changed me in more ways than they’ll ever know. Lots of love to all of you!!

I took the Bollywood class with Komal and had SO much fun!! It didn’t even feel like I was working out and it provided an opportunity for me to try a new style of dance! Specially classes like this are an awesome way to appreciate other cultures - I’d love to see a salsa or Brazilian Zuke class on the schedule next ;)

Absolutely LOVE this studio! Such a positive environment with a sweet, welcoming team at the front desk. Kate and Allie, the studio managers, will make you feel like a celebrity every time you walk in.

The workouts are SO much fun but also challenging in the best way! I’ve tried three of the class styles — Dance (my favorite!), Tone, and Bands. Each one is great for its own reason!

After taking my first free class I signed up for a monthly 4-pack and I have been going consistently enough to consider bumping it up to an 8-pack. I’ve told many friends about it and they’ve all loved it, too!

All of the instructors are amazing, but I especially love Komal’s classes. Her high energy really keeps me energized throughout class!

Thanks, AKT team! You guys are amazing and have something really special going! 🪩

I took the free introduction class. I found it wasn’t quite intense enough and the studio was a bit too far from my house. I walked away thinking that was it and I would continue with my normal fitness routine. No harm, no foul. I expected roughly one or two follow up emails or texts from AKT.

It has been weeks since I took that class AKT has called and texted me numerous times during weekdays, trying to get me to sign up for their membership. The volume of the marketing feels invasive. I’ve never experienced this level of chasing.

They also, unbeknownst to me, gave my cell number to the Cyclebar location connected to their studio and Cyclebar called and left me a marketing voicemail. I NEVER indicated I wanted AKT to give my information to Cyclebar and did not sign up for any cycling classes or marketing materials. When I visited AKT, I mentioned I already go to a locally owned cycling studio that I enjoy. I find this very unprofessional and outside the realm of marketing professionalism. I was able to have myself removed from their contact list, but want others to know what to expect. They won’t give up!

Love all the different classes here. I really like the variety and the intensity, and the trainers are great. I take most of my classes with Tara and Sophie, and both of them are fantastic. Would 100% recommend.
