The Studio

Beautiful place! I came here because I was getting my peels from Joni when she had her own place. She recently moved to the Studio and I followed her. The Studio is a hybrid of fitness classes and a small spa. I’m so glad I followed Joni to the Studio. She’s amazing and the place is beautiful! I made a day out of it and I used the spa beforehand and then took a class. They even have hot tea that you can drink by the fireplace!

Very, very upscale workout facility, a far cry from 24 hour fitness or that type. Far less people, soothing music and smells as you walk in, friendly & helpful staff members and a wide array of classes to choose from. They offer a free 5-​day pass to check it out which is nice. It is expensive but there is no contract from month to month, like that. If you are looking for a high end facility with all of the bells & whistles including a full spa, then this is the place for you. Free parking, located in a nice shopping plaza right off the 680 freeway. The only issue I experienced is that the yoga classes are located right next to extremely noisy fitness classes so the music, the vibrations interrupt the peace of the yoga practice. It is a building design issue. They could either stagger the classes or move the yoga classes. I wish they had more classes during the day, most are in the morning or late afternoon/​evening. Still, a very nice experience overall.

Going here with my wife for a few weeks now. It’s definitely lunch and pre packaged bliss. A little inconvenient and parking is tough by the facility is top notch. Always clean and spacious. The classes and weights are always motivating. The instructors are happy and genuinely cool. I think this is more of a female centric place but the man cave is a nice touch.

Unprofessional. Scheduled an appointment for massage today. Drove to the appointment and was informed that a therapist cancelled due to some emergency. Did not receive a phone call or anything from them. Do not you have other therapists to replace the person, especially, I did not schedule a specific therapist with you. Ruined my day. Never happened to me before with other companies. Not coming back.

Love, love love this facility! Great people that work there and amazing instructors and classes. Beautiful facility with great amenities too!

I do love this gym. Been here for years. They have a wonderful selection of classes. That’s 5 stars. The setting is beautiful with the spa in the ladies’ room — I assume there’s one in the men’s room too. It is getting really crowded in the last year or so. Not always able to get into the classes you want. Minus 1 star.
They need more HIIT workouts incorporated into the schedule as that’s the new big thing!

Unilocal had one of its «Hot for the Holidays» Sweat Sesh events at The Studio in November. This is the first such event I’ve ever attended through Unilocal,and I must say I was very pleased.
The Studio offers strength training, spin classes, zumba, Pilates, and yoga. The facility has a very spa feel to it. After working your butt off in strength training, you can get a massage or facial. Beautiful location in downtown Danville. You can’t beat it!

I do Pilates and Yoga here with the many instructors here and am pleased. The facility is always clean. The classes are usually scheduled conveniently and the instructors are decent. I like the voyer and the refreshments in the front. The free WIFI is a bonus.
I would suggest the weight room could be bigger as it’s getting pretty crowded over the last year. The staff is always pretty helpful and parking is fairly easy too.

I only just visited The Studio today as a guest, and am completely pleased and happy with my experience today. They give all first-​time guests one pass for 3 days so that you are able to come in and see for yourself what The Studio is all about! Setting up my class was easy. I just called them up and explained that I was a guest, and they scheduled me for the cycle class with Emily for the next morning (today) around 8:45.
When I showed up everybody was happy and energetic, just the thing you need before you endure a workout! The girls at the desk were very helpful and checked me in with the I-​pad and had me on my way.
The class itself was fantastic! The spin room was pretty full say for 2 or 3 bikes. That’s a good sign. Our instructor introduced herself, explained a little about the class, and set me up on my stationary bike. Before I knew it, class took off and I was peddling away. What a fabulous workout! My arms, legs and core will definitely be hurting tomorrow. I had so much fun! The girls in my class were awesome and everybody was working really hard. I can see why people love the spin classes here!
The Studio is also one of the most well-​taken care of gyms I have ever seen. I, for one, also prefer a small gym setting so long as I can access the machines I wish to use. I think larger gyms can become really crowded and throw off your exercise game. This one is spacious, clean, and everybody seems really friendly. I can see how maybe it would become «clique-​ish» as everybody seems to know one another from what I observed.
The bathrooms are so nice, and you feel right at home. I also noticed a sauna, jacuzzi and steam room in the restroom which was good to know. The Studio has a lovely little boutique with really nice apparel, yoga supplies, and health products. AND, to top it off, they have massage services. It’s perfect.
I spoke with Gina whom is the membership representative. She gave me all sorts of great information and also gave me a grand tour of the gym. She was extremely helpful, kind, and I felt like she genuinely cared about the gym. She really was great, and now I get to decide if I want to commit!

Move over crowded, smelly gyms, there’s a new joint in town called The Studio. I’m currently on my 7 day pass for 10 $ summer promotion and am LOVING this place. I feel like I’ve entered a day spa which it pretty much is with awesome classes.
Having done bikram now for the past almost 30 days (3 more days!) I’m trying to incorporate other yoga, pilates and sculpting classes in the mix. I will preface that this is a high end, sheeshy kind of gym. So if you’re not into all the fluff, then this place may not be for you. However, I’ve scoped out the clientele, and if by just coming here I can become that much prettier and a lot more skinny, count me in.
Being unemployed, the class schedules work for now, but if I was a working or commuting gal, I definitely think they would be a challenge. My favorite feature of The Studio is not just the classes, (while I do enjoy them, I think you can find some great studios in the area for drop in Yoga or Bar classes) what sets The Studio apart is its pristine facilities, open lounges, fire places and Women’s Retreat. I venture to say the Man Cave is about the same, but I can not deny or confirm since I’ve never been inside the men’s locker room. The Women’s Retreat is just like entering a day spa. There are digital lockers, vanities stocked with the essentials, beautiful stone accent showers, and my favorite sauna, steam room, cold shower and whirl pool spa.
Along with your membership you can also purchase massage packages, private classes, pilates reformer sessions and the list goes on. As my week trial comes to an end I will have to decide if I can fork out the membership fee and monthly dues. I can definitely see the value, however is it really affordable for all? Probably not

One of the best decisions I have ever made in life was joining The Studio. This is not a gym… but rather a small motivating community that fosters connections and adds more to life’s journey. This community philosophy is integrated in the staff, the members, and the AWEmazing inspiring instructors, and personal trainers. The experience is priceless, and might I add so cleanly, and spa like!!! It’s an investment I feel worthy of, and it generates more happiness in my life. Thank you to The Studio for cultivating an amazing space, and making our community a better place by contributing to its members.

This is pretty much my favorite place in Danville.
We moved out here in February from Oakland and I was really unsure if I would be able to find a good yoga studio after having such an awesome selection in Oakland and Berkeley. I read the reviews on Unilocal and thought I would try the the Studio.
I started by just going to yoga, as that is where my passion is. But I had gotten really out of shape from a very long commute (and not going to yoga for a while), so I thought I would maybe possibly try a «fitness» class… and I was really not planning on liking it. I was seriously happily surprised at how great fitness classes can be! I am hooked. On average, I go to 2 functional fitness, 2 beach body sculpt, 1 TRX circuit, and only 1 or 2 yoga classes per week (the yoga classes ARE amazing, thanks to the great teachers at the Studio, but now I am in love with fitness classes as well as yoga!). I feel great and I am starting to see the results in my body.
Thanks so much Jori for convincing me there is more to life than yoga!

I wanted to wait a couple months before writing a review, so I could get the full experience. Yep, I love it and gave it a 5 star rating!
Not only is this facility beautiful and all the staff are friendly, but it clean and well maintained. It has a very spa like atmosphere.
There is a special area (downstairs) if you want to do tread mills and weights, upstairs you have a lovely sitting area with a fireplace and comfortable chairs. The work out rooms for the classes are located off to the side. I like that you have to sign up for a class, which is great, not only does it make me feel more accountable if I sign up, but it prevents the class from over crowding. The pilates and cycle machines are located on the other side with the lockers, sauna, whirlpool, showers in the middle.
I have been more motivated to work out since joining. They offer a good variety of classes, from yoga to cardio to bar. I’ve even gone just to sit and relax in the whirlpool.
It is a great facility.

I joined this club within the first 6 months of opening. It’s in a former day spa, and all I can say is, wow! The facility is amazing, the classes are wonderful, and the staff attentive. They do not skimp on anything – all accessories are provided – the lockers even lock themselves– and they have tons of towels.
It is definitely pricey, but worth every dime.
My only request would be to have a couple more therapeutic yoga classes. I can’t think of anything else.

Manicure Mondays! Eric Urban is now doing nails at the Studio. He just did mine and he’s extremely detail oriented & meticulous. Gentle yet thorough! And, I was just about to get my nails done outside the Studio. Talk about convenience!

If you hate gyms with a bunch of muscle men sweating & lifting weights, then The Studio is definitely the place for you. The Studio completely changed my idea of working out. The staff is so personable, so welcoming and friendly. They offer tons of classes at almost any time of the day.
You can use the cycle room any time when they are not having a class. You pick a workout, the projector drops down and you basically have a one-​on-​one. Classes don’t usually get too full. One Friday I was the only one in a class and ended up working directly with the instructor.
The child care here is $ 5/​per hour. I feel completely safe leaving my 10 month old here (who doesn’t go to day care or stay with anyone but myself).
I can go on & on about the great things The Studio has to offer. Definitely come check it out!
A++

The older I get, the less patience I have for overcrowded, dirty, cheap gyms. In my 20’s it would have seemed absurd to spend $ 100+ a month on a gym. I loved my $ 20 a month 24 Hour Nautilus (yes, I said Nautilus and yes, I know this shows my age).
But now I’m at a point in my life where I want to be able to take a shower at the gym without fear of getting a foot disease and I like to be able to sit down on a chair without worrying that I’ll sit in someone else’s sweat…
In comes The Studio. It’s just beautiful. The locker room is amazing with a steam room, sauna, cold shower, whirlpool and beautiful showers. There are 3 different rooms where classes are held on a regular basis in addition to the cycle room and a pilates room.
The «living room» where you can sit and relax is very calming. There’s always hot water and tea bags for a hot cup of tea and free wifi throughout the club.
Classes are wonderful, especially the yoga instructors Malia and Kelli B. The yoga room is beautiful and you forget you are at a «club» and really get that yoga studio feel.
The downstairs free weights and cardio area isn’t big, but it’s big enough and gives you what you need.
Very happy here and so glad to have joined my first «grown up» gym. :)

I joined The Studio as a Charter Member when it first opened and I can honestly say that it has been the best investment that I have made in myself in a long time. From the moment I first walked up the stairs and was welcomed by the friendly staff (many of whom greet me by name) and beautiful, serene atmosphere, I knew that this was the place for me. Each and every time I enter The Studio, the stresses and hectic-​ness of life are lifted and I get to concentrate on doing something just for me.
The knowledgeable instructors are inspiring and encouraging, the wide variety of classes keep fitness fresh and fun and the diversity of the members (all sizes, shapes, fitness levels & ethnicities) make The Studio a welcoming place for everyone. The recent addition of The Zone has been an added bonus and I look forward to seeing what else The Studio has in store for us in the future! I would passionately recommend The Studio to anyone looking for a new fitness retreat. With each returning visit I truly feel that I have nurtured my mind, body & spirit.

Unfortunately they are now offering classes within the workout weight room and cardio area now. They have an entire upstairs with many rooms and facilities and the small cardio weight room.
It was already cramped and have such limited equipment. I was challenged to create programs based on the limited equipment and space. But now it’s practically impossible to get in get around and get out with a decent pump with all the classes inside the weight room. Who ever made this decision pls change it.
@$ 110 per month. I don’t think I can recomend this facility unless its a second gym anymore.
One star for staff. One star for man cave. One star for location.

I’m in Zen mode every time I leave. LOVE the classes and the cardio area is perfect for my needs – rarely crowded and always low-​key. The Edge facility they just opened is beautiful and compliments the workout area very well. I just recently participated in the Transformations program and was so happy with the whole experience. (Transformations is an 8 week program that includes nutritional counseling and small group training.). LOVE the trainers, LOVE the staff, LOVE the classes. Complete Zen.
