Free Spirit Yoga + Fitness + Play

Fantastic experience: We had our daughters 5 th birthday here and it was awesome! The party room was very big and they did all the set up and clean up. Easiest party yet! The kids loved running and playing. Definitely a great place for kids with lots of energy!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and attentive staff. Great place for kids to let loose and learn. Creative equipment. Good times.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love, free Spirit. The owners are friendly, attentive, hard-working, and give these kids the confidence to do amazing things. The staff is friendly and always welcoming and attentive!! The place is spotless and I always see them sanitizing the facility. Highly recommend for all those active kiddos!!

Fantastic experience: We love Free Spirit, my toddlers love the open play and Ninja Warrior classes. The facility is very clean and its well padded for safety. The staff and trainers are amazing and my kids are totally exhausted when they get home.

Fantastic experience: Granddaughter had a blast.

Fantastic experience: My 8 year old boy is crazy about this place. It's super clean, and the staff are so friendly. Great option to get the kids energy out on cold days!

Positive experience: Here is one of the best gymnastics class for kids.

Fantastic experience: My 3 year old son's PT recommended this place. We did the ninja classes. They were fun, but I think he would have gotten more out of just the free play times. He didn't like the structure of a class so much, even if I thought it was really cool. This place really is great and encourages kids to move. There is literally something for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Fantastic experience: The kids had a blast! Friendly and accommodating staff.

Fantastic experience: This place is great! Love the diversity of classes, our 3 year old has a blast at open play. Great winter activity the littles. Look for the punch pass but 6 month usage rule is a little restrictive.

Fantastic experience: Free Spirit is AMAZING! My ten year ninja-mad daughter attended a regular Monday night session for three months while we lived in Bend, in addition to every second Saturday Ninja Night. She had a blast, loved all the coaches (especially the owner, Seth) and learnt so much. She had been attending ninja classes in Florida for years but learnt more in three months at Free Spirit than all those classes combined. She could not wait to go!!! And the Ninja Night is genius for parents too … keeping us sane with a few hours alone. Thank you Seth!

Fantastic experience: Super fun place to take the kids when the weather is bad! Staff is so friendly!

Fantastic experience: Such a fun spot in the heart of Bend. Birthday parties are a blast here and their class offerings are great. I did two rounds of Baby and Mom yoga with my youngest and it was a great workout and time to connect with other moms.

Fantastic experience: My son absolutely loves the Ninja classes here. The facility is always extremely clean and the staff are more than welcoming and kind. I recently had a mix up of scheduling on our end and they were able to work with us to get our classes rescheduled with absolutely no trouble. Very helpful and easy to work with. I recommend Free Spirit Bend!

Fantastic experience: Our 6 year old just finished a week of nano-ninja camp and loved it! It was great to have an indoor option when the air quality was bad this past week. Great coaches and she signed up for another week this summer she loved it so much!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best! My kids are completely obsessed, and the teachers are amazing with all the kiddos.

Fantastic experience: Went to their wine and yoga night that was outdoors. It was amazing and so fun!! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: There with my granddaughter at a toddler class, was awesome the staff was great and friendly , clean place, very recommandable

Fantastic experience: Man do we love this place! My little has been coming here since she was 9months (3yrs now) and I couldn’t be more thankful they exist in bend. She has gained so much body awareness, confidence, and little friendships through going here. The weekly classes are so great and structured and open play allows her to feel it out with some the bigger kids. We can’t wait to have our little one grow up going here and we can’t wait until she’s old enough for my husband and I to use the date night! (1x month, kid drop off on Saturday night!!). The owners are awesome people and they make sure to bring in great people to coach. Thanks for being around free spirit! As my daughter says every week “I love ninja!”

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Kids love ninja and yoga classes. Clean gym with friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great location for our 5 year old since he was 2 years old.

Fantastic experience: My children ages 7 and 9, are doing a ninja class. They totally love it, and I love coming to the Old Mill once a week while they are in class. It's great.

Fantastic experience: Kiddo loves this place, and I love its location! Not much parent sitting room for those who want to watch, but enough for a few. Staff are kind and patient, and work well with the kids. For those who don't want to sit and watch the most organized chaos possible, the old mill district offers just about every genre of leisure and shopping.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful environment for kids to play. The staff are beyond amazing and so sweet to my little kiddos. We love the classes for more structured play time and then the open play when we all need to get some energy out. I can’t recommend this spot enough for kids!

Fantastic experience: We love Free Spirit! My kids always have a great time. The space is clean and bright, the staff is super friendly! We have taken classes and attended many birthday parties there and they do a perfect job. Thanks Free Spirit!! So awesome to have a place like this in Bend.

Fantastic experience: I recently hosted a birthday party at Free Spirit. The kids had a great time. There is a large play room with climbing walls, a slide, and lots of other fun things. They have a large room for birthdays that could fit a large party. The restrooms are "All gender" so safe for everyone! Great place.

Negative experience: My daughter broke her elbow and had to have surgery because of this place.

Fantastic experience: Free Sprit has been such a fun and safe place for our daughter! We have only taken one type of class, Baby Ninja Warrior, but have gone constantly for about 10 months now. Because of this class, my daughter is confident in any active activity and knows how to climb up and down things safely. The staff are all friendly and gentle with the kids and the facility is always clean. This is something my daughter looks forward to every week! I highly recommend taking your little ones here :)

Fantastic experience: Has my daughter’s 6th birthday here, and it was a blast! It was very well organized by Seth and Rachel, and the kids LOVED every minute of play time. My daughter also takes ninja warrior classes at Free Spirit, and she loves those too! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: We've been to Free Spirit a handful of times now for open Toddler play time, a birthday party, and I've done adult yoga twice! Everything we've done there has been SPECTACULAR! It is very clear that the owners Rachel and Seth are passionate and caring about Free Spirit. My 1 year old and 4 year old both LOVE every minute. If it was up to them, they'd go every day :) We love saving it for bad weather or smokey days, but should fit it into our schedule more often because it's so great. My two adult yoga classes have been awesome, too. Rachel is one of those perfect yoga instructors where her prompting seems effortless and sets such a nice tone for class. If you have a chance, I'd highly recommend doing one of the outdoor yoga classes. The indoor studio is great, too. Couldn't recommend this place enough for the whole family!!

Fantastic experience: My kids love this place and the owners are very kind & professional ! I will definitely bring the kids back for more fun!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love it here! Rachel and Kaija are wonderful. We did baby ninja twice and keep coming back for open play times.

Fantastic experience: This place is god sent. Super friendly staff, clean facility and good music too! I appreciate how the parents don’t have to pay extra. I love how few rules there are. The kids play together, the parents chill together. Will definitely be back, probably a lot.

Fantastic experience: We love Free Spirit! We have gone there for camps, classes and love Ninja night - date night - the owner is friendly and responsible - our son has a BLAST there - highly recommend :-)

Fantastic experience: Free Spirit is such an amazing place for kids! The owners are so wonderful and supportive of the kids. The classes are so creative and really give the kids a ton of exercise. And the facility is beyond clean with high quality obstacles! Our kids love it!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality My kids love the games, staff, and music; I love the cleanliness and goes h the kids have fun. Saturday night drop offs and camps are always appreciated.

Fantastic experience: We reserved two hours for my grandsons’ birthdays since they didn’t get to have friend parties. Four grandsons (ages 2-6), three parents, and two grandparents - we had a BLAST!! The grandsons don’t live nearby, but this might become a regular outing when they come to visit. The experience exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this yoga studio! The outdoor yoga with Rachel is dreamy with the epic view of the river and mountains in the background. Rachel is an amazing teacher, so calming and explains each move well. I always leave so rejuvenated. Also, my son loves their Ninja camp! Highly recommend Free Spirit Yoga + Fitness!

Fantastic experience: SO FUN! My kids love this place. We all feel like we're ninja warriors.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication

Fantastic experience: Love the online postnatal yoga workshops with Rachel and love the Nano Ninja camps for my son! Once covid is totally over I can't wait to do lots more indoor yoga with Rachel and the team.

Fantastic experience: Great owners and instructors. Love the outdoor yoga by the river!

Fantastic experience: My children love this place year round. My older son has been attending the ninja classes for the past 6 months and he continues to improve and most of all have fun. The place is clean and staff are fun and friendly. I highly recommend this place for your children to play for some indoor fun.

Fantastic experience: Free Spirit is an amazing indoor gym facility. We have been going here for years for their toddler open play and ninja camps. The staff is professional, friendly, and good at what they do. The facility is amazing and offers a variety of fun activities for children to do. My children have learned great social skills, confidence, and improved their physical abilities through going to Free Spirit. I think the critical reviews over the masks is not accurate and not fair. They have always enforced masks for those aged 5 and up, which is the mandate. This is the same rule that all other kid gyms around town do too! Please don’t put down local small businesses that are trying to survive during this difficult time and actually doing a good job, with your false information.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Free spirit kids camps and Ninja night are absolutely amazing! We take our boys at least one Saturday a month, so we can have a date night. The kids absolutely love it and it's VERY affordable. The staff and the owner are fantastic and love playing with the kids. Good spot for a birthday party as well!

Fantastic experience: My family loves this place! We've done it all: birthday party, open play, ninja warrior class, and adult fitness classes. My boys love climbing up and sliding down- a great way to burn some energy! The yoga and fitness classes are wonderful. Everyone is welcome and they work with you where you are (and help you get where you want to go). This is a family-owned business and I love being part of their community.

Negative experience: This place hosted a series of "ninja warrior" Summer camps. They randomly opened up more spots for these camps after enrollment was already full, which should have been a big red flag. But, like many of us desperate parents trying to find safe childcare this Summer, I jumped on a week of camp that I needed filled. When I signed up for this camp the county had only 9 covid cases. Week of camp rolls around and the camp email midway down has one brief line stating "masks are optional". Yes, it was my fault for not following up on this. But every other camp we were involved at over the Summer required masks, especially indoors! So I didn't think much of it because I'm trusting a business to keep our children safe. When I went to pick my kid up for camp, there were maybe three kids in the whole building wearing masks, and no staff. This concerned me. We had 132 covid cases that day and were into a huge spike. I reached out to the owners and was not met with compassion at all. I was pretty much told they were following "state of Oregon's guidance" about it- which was contradictory to the info I found on OHA saying that kids 5 and over are required to wear masks indoors and playing sports. I was also told that I wouldn't get any part of a refund because they "had a very long waitlist". All this did was reassure me that they did not in fact have the safety and wellbeing of the kids in mind, it was just to cram as many kids in and make a buck. Funny enough, of course two days later Kate Brown made the mask mandate, so sucks for me to pick that week for camp I guess! I hate to be critical during a pandemic when we are all struggling, but this is incredibly serious. Masks are the only things keeping our kids safe. It is beyond disappointing that we had this experience, regardless of the money.

Negative experience: My close friend's son was signed up to attend Ninja Camp this week, something he was excited about as it was a change in pace from the other camps he had been attending throughout the summer.  The camp was also significantly more expensive but she decided to have him attend anyway because she thought it would be special and fun for him. After picking him up the first day she was made aware of the small size of the facility and the large (16) number of children attending, most of which were not wearing masks.  As a parent it is our job to ensure our kids are put in the safest situations possible, when she realized the lack of social distancing as well as lack of mask wearing she opted to pull her child out of the camp in order to keep him safe. The ONLY protection against COVID that children under the age of 12 have is to wear masks and practice social distancing.  When she sent an email to you all explaining her decision, not only was she not offered any compensation for the days her son won't be attending, but the email stated she knew masks were optional per state guidelines and plenty of other kids would have loved to have her child's spot. The welcome email that was sent out by the company does state that masks are optional, but that is actually not in what the CDC or state guidelines had been recommending for summer camps or youth programs.  According to the Oregon Health Authority youth programs are encouraged to REQUIRE that all youth age kindergarten and up wear a proper face cover and when it needs to be taken off that they are properly socially distanced.  While the term "encouraged" is used, which means programs do not have to require masks saying they are otional is a far reach from what the Oregon Health Authority and the CDC are actually recommending. When I first began attending hot yoga they sent me a message saying we recommend you bring a towel and a water bottle. I had done many yoga classes before but never got yoga, so based on their knowledge of the facility and class I followed their recommendation. Had they sent a message saying water bottles are optional, I probably would have though nothing of it and sense I have never needed a water bottle at yoga before I would ha e left mine at home. How we use words matter. There is a big difference between recommends and optional. Making a decision to take your child out of camp is never easy, especially for a working parent.  Working parents rely on summer camps in place of school so they can continue to do their jobs, when she had to make the decision to pull her child out of camp not only was she left with the loss of money from your camp but she was also left with having to scramble to find childcare for the next few days for her son.  Working parents also rely on camps to keep their children safe while they are at work, something that was not happening when young children are being placed together without masks in a small space. I understand saying you are following the guidelines and look forward to them changing Friday so everyone has to wear a mask. Parents should be able to rely on camps to make solid safety judgment calls and should not need the government to step in. My children had attended multiple camps this summer all of which when indoors required masks, this is the first amp I have heard of that hasn’t. We know the science, we know masks are the only protection these young children have, the reason the government had to reinstate the mask order is because people and places like this one are able to put safety first and do it themselves. When she sent an email to let you know her son would no longer be able to attend for safety reasons she was not treated with compassion and understanding given these unprecedented times, (especially for our unvaccinated and vulnerable children) but was told - another kid could have filled that spot - this is a blatant disregard for child safety and clearly shows that revenue is more important to your company than keeping children safe.

Fantastic experience: The perfect little place for mamas to bring their kiddos to let out some energy! As a stay at home mama this place has been a life saver for my super active kiddos! Nice staff, clean facility, fair prices!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place for family fitness. The obstacles and climbing walls provide great physical exploration for our young boys, and the foam pits make for amazing play areas. Add to that the fact that parents can fit in some yoga or functional fitness while the kids play and you have a big win.

Fantastic experience: Love taking our kids here to bounce around and get some indoor exercise. Great facility, caring staff, and a clean environment. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I took my 16mo old for the toddler free play yesterday for the very first time and it was awesome! They have such a thoughtfully designed space to keep kiddos safe AND packed with fun stuff to explore. The staff were great and we will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place! I did their "Spirit Warrior" class last week. The trainer incorporates elements of the ninja warrior course into the workout, also utilizing kettle bells, sand bags, and other fitness equipment for a great all-around workout. I can't remember the last time I had as much fun while working out.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best local find - I've been taking Free Spirit's mom and baby class for several weeks now, and LOVE IT. Rachel is fantastic, and her classes have made me feel so much stronger. I can't wait for my little one to get big enough to dive into the obstacle course! Super clean, kind, and friendly - everything you would want in a big gym but with a neighborhood vibe.

Fantastic experience: The fitness classes are challenging and I love the variety offered. My little guy loves open play and ninja class. The space is very cool and will get your endorphins and creative juices going! Plus a total bonus - safe and fun childcare!

Fantastic experience: Staff is awesome and the yoga classes are wonderful. They have state of the art fitness equipment and the teachers really know what they're doing. Rachel, Max and Petit teach great yoga classes and are great with modifications for injuries:) Fitness classes are on point too. Cute, clean space with a nice community feel. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: We were in town on vacation and stumbled across Free Spirit. My kids couldn’t wait to try it so I signed up for the yoga class with child care. I got to enjoy and excellent class while my kids had a blast in the play area. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. I wish I had tried it earlier!

Fantastic experience: Free Spirit Bend offers such a variety of classes from yoga to strength and cardio fitness classes. The strength class is a great way for me to challenge myself and keep improving. The facility is bright, clean and a wonderful place for children and adults.

Fantastic experience: This place was great fun for my five and seven year old kids! Great indoor space to burn some energy and work on their ninja skills while we were in town visiting Bend. And the staff was friendly and accommodating on our back-to-back visits. We would definitely visit regularly if we lived closer!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking the Mommy Baby yoga classes, as well as a few regular yoga classes where I use their awesome childcare. It had been a game changer for us to have somewhere warm, welcoming, and fun for us both to explore movement and community together. The facility is SO sparkly clean, the staff is really sweet, and the classes are great.

Fantastic experience: Our 4 year old son had his first Nano Ninja class and he loved it. The instructor was great with the age range. The class is a great mix of structure and free time. (Side note, even though the instructor was great, some parents need to help their children understand when it's time to listen!!!!)

Fantastic experience: Rachel is the most knowledgeable, patient and caring yoga instructor I’ve found in Bend! I enjoy her classes so much that I find myself at her studio multiple times a week. Free Spirit is easy to get to and parking is never a problem. I encourage other mature practitioners to sign up for a class as you’ll definitely find yourself stronger and more balanced. Great space and pleasant staff. So glad I found Free Spirit!!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place for kids to get their Ninja on! Great climbing wall as well. We will be back!

Fantastic experience: A fun way to tire out my adventurous and active 4 year old son! He loves the challenge of climbing to the top level and sliding into the foam pit. And it’s nice having the toys to play with when he needed a little break. Chill atmosphere and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the yoga and fitness studio! Started doing my morning yoga here, really enjoy the calm and warm space. The front desk staff are friendly and the teachers are knowledgeable and kind!

Fantastic experience: Great workout and yoga studio with a kids ninja warrior course that will exhaust even the most energetic of kiddos. Worth checking out for sure.

Fantastic experience: Such a fun place for a birthday party! We had our daughters 3rd birthday yesterday at Free Spirit Yoga. The owners were great and very accommodating. The play area was bright, clean and had something for everyone. Even the adults had fun. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great yoga classes with childcare!

Positive experience: We went to the open toddler play and had a great time. The facility is clean and the staff is very friendly. It was a bit expensive, but worth it since there aren't many indoor options in the winter. There is a climbing wall, hanging rings, foam ball pit x 2, slide , rope climbing wall. It's a "Ninja Warrior" training experience. It also has a small little kid corner with a fort/slide combo for the less rambunctious kids. Gripper socks are required, and available to purchase there. I'd go back again for my child to expend some energy!
