Reset Studio

I have never been more impressed with the professionalism, kindness and individual attention from instructors as I have been with Eric Douglass (Acro fit) and Lolo Minako (Yogafit and Yoga Vinyasa flow). I’ve been attending classes at the Reset Studio for the last five months and it continues to be my favorite studio in the Bay Area. The studio offers a unique mix of classes — Belly dancing, cirque conditioning, movement training and yoga. Try the Acrofit and Yoga classes if you are looking for new but safe ways to challenge yourself!

Joining as a yoga newbie is an incredibly intimidating choice to make, and I got lucky enough to find this gem of a studio. The instructors are all extremely friendly, nonjudgmental and endlessly encouraging… something crucial to boosting my confidence and sticking with the work outs. The feedback is very personal, very one on one, and makes me feel accepted even though i have no idea what im doing. Such a great studio, i cant compliment it enough.

Very weird experience. It was like the Monty Python argument clinic. I went for the first time for the ‘Cirque Conditioning’ half an hour early as requested for the newbies. The teacher had a private student and did not query about my level or expectations. She asked me if I knew how to stretch and when I said ‘Yes’ she said that she expects me to be fully stretched in the next 10 minutes. I have never gone to a class where you have to warm up separately so I waited. So she asks me the same question and now I know to say ‘No’. To my surprise instead of showing me what to do or wait to finish with her student she asked me if I had done ANY PHYSICAL exercise AT ALL before. I explained that I did Yoga and I did not remember the sequence of poses and I would rather follow whatever instructions she had to give or wait for the class. From that point the conversation became surreal. I would expect that a class is a place of ability assessment, tutoring and support and not assumptions. We never did downward facing dog in Bikram Yoga and I always followed the poses with a teacher. I do not want to hurt my body. I did Aerial Yoga too and the teachers explained in detail the first time how to do everything in a very safe way. I stopped because the hours were not suitable for me.

This is such a hidden gem! Literally. The studio is all the way in the back of the office park but once you make the second right, you see the studio on the second floor.
The place itself always feels nice and intimate. Class sizes vary from 4 – 6 people and it’s the perfect size to get proper attention from instructors. I always feel like I’m doing a private session — it’s the best deal ever!
I’ve taken Daniel Spencer’s Acro-​fit class for 2 months now and I LOVE it! It’s just an interesting and unique method of preparing for more advanced elements such as handstand or going upside down if you’re into acro yoga. Daniel implements a lot of body weight movements, balance, and locomotion that helps with mobility. At first glance they look like such basic moves but the second I get on the floor I feel a full body work out! I absolutely love it I leave each class wanting more the next week.
That being said his class (as well as all the other classes offered) are open to all levels. There’s no «advanced» class– so no matter what you’re background is, all the classes have a fun and challenging twist to them. I don’t know any other studio that provides such unique classes like Reset Studio.
Payment is also super easy– they have options of pay-​per class or buy a package and come to class whenever you want. No obligation to come every week or worry if you miss one or two weeks. I think their policy is your first class is FREE. Uhm pretty epic. For all you FitMobbers out there I’m pretty sure you can find Reset on there and attend a class and check it out!
If you’re looking for a new form of exercise or want to try out a unique, fun class I highly recommend Reset Studio! Support an awesome local business :)

This studio has it all, whether you’re interested in yoga, cirque conditioning, Acro-​fit, Zumba or Belly Dance. Very well run and quite affordable compared to some out there. I like that a person owns the business and not a large corporation. Highly recommended. Give it a shot. It’s in the rear of the complex if you have trouble finding it.

The Bollywood Freestyle class at Reset studio is simply awesome! The fact that it is on a Sunday evening works out well as weekdays is not possible for most people to attend. And working out on Sunday evening brings in the energy and enthusiasm for the next week. The dance teacher, Kinni Mistry, has good coaching skills and is a good choreographer. She pays attention to details and gives you personalized attention. Her dance class is definitely fun! The environment is vibrant and full of energy. She has choreographed songs for some wedding reception parties that I have attended and it was simply amazing. In a nutshell, I would highly recommend joining this class and dancing to the tunes of Bollywood music and getting a great workout, all at the same time! Win Win situation…

Our ATS/ITS/SGI/don’t call us late for chocolate Belly Dance class was getting too large for our old studio. Petra found Lauren, or vice versa, and decided give the place a try.
The studio has a spacious bathroom with sauna tiles & river rock flooring, adding to the comfort level there. There are dressing alcoves with curtains, so that you don’t have to use the bathroom to change. The parking is great, and there are places nearby to catch something helathy to eat or drink, before or after your session.
There is central A/​C – important for a woman who is always overheated, and given that it’s a second story suite, heating might not be needed. There’s a balcony, a sound setup, and the main room features wood/​woodlike flooring and one wall full of mirror, so that everyone in the class can be seen.
It feels lovely in the studio. One climbs the stairs, removes shoes, and puts them in a shoe caddy, and proceeds on to class. There is a laptop setup for signing in. You can pay by the class, or for a package.
I’m enjoying using this space. Just because it’s a workout/​dance/​yoga studio, doesn’t mean the folks in the classes are all slender, limber, and at the top of their game adults: all kinds of bodies (that can climb stairs) and all ages are seen. People don’t come here to be seen, they come to work with good teachers who will help them accomplish what they desire.
PS: I take the Monday evening (7−8pm) bellydance class with Petra, of House of Inanna. We’re not all shiny/​sparkly costumes, we wear comfy clothes in which we can move. This class is suitable for all ages, and provided you can climb stairs, all levels of dancer. Come have some fun with us in this great studio that fits us all!

Great studio and great teachers! A hidden jem; lots of variety in classes and a good vibe.

Beautiful studio and interesting schedule of classes! Not just your run of the mill yoga and pilates studio. They just opened so I’m sure the schedule will only get better with time. Highly recommended a great space with great instruction!
