Tough Lotus

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the classes here. I bought a Groupon, the 6 classes, and it's one of the best things I've done fitness ever. Shortly after I purchased the Groupon, I got into a serious car accident with a lot of soft tissue injuries, and Tough Lotus has been a blessing in disguise for the back and neck pain that I have as a result. After a class, I feel alive and awake again. The classes inspired me to purchase my own aerial hammock which I have since hung in my dining room and am using regularly.

Fantastic experience: A group of friends and I came in this morning for the aerial beginners class with Jessica and we had SO much fun! I was really worried about looking silly, but all of us agreed that Jessica was super encouraging, friendly, and patient! The first time we all flipped upside down, we had a laugh attack. What a fun class, can’t wait to try out more!

Fantastic experience: I go here every day, I usually set aside 7 hours a day for getting drinks at tough lotus. I go home pleased after a night of watching the bungee performers. Edit: I’m not sure why the owner keeps accusing reviewers of never having been here.

Fantastic experience: OMG! SO MUCH FUN! I can hardly wait for my next session!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I absolutely love the ladies there. They are super welcoming and it felt like a family/friends environment. I was super nervous at first about doing something new for myself but I am amazed that I felt confident by the second day. They guide you on how to move and place your body and it's up to you how far you want your body to go.

Fantastic experience: I love the teacher/owner Amanda and her staff! I found out about this place via Mindbody, and I have taken some fun classes here. Aerial Yoga (though it's not the fabric that you see used in circuses) instead uses a few dangling pieces where you can slide your body and feet through. This way, you are held in more securely. Amanda taught us some pretty nifty tricks when I took the class, including an inversion. She was very patient and never pushed anyone to do anything- but at the same time, she was super encouraging. I also took an aerial ballet and bungee class there. Aerial ballet incorporated the hammock, and I loved how at the end, you would leave a piece of choreography. Bungee was okay too, except it was a bit tight on my legs (It'll take time getting used too). Great studio. Everyone is nice and helpful. Edit: Cheryl (?) the new teacher there is the best too! Love how she teaches and how positive she is. AJ is great too- she is queen of core- this lady is so strong and has abs of steel; really pours her heart into her classes. PS. Love the cookies/ treats at front desk. PPS. If only there were 48 hours in a day, I would love to come here more often.

Fantastic experience: Cool idea. Fun. Great instructor

Fantastic experience: The best exercise & dance studio! The owner of the studio truly cares about creating community, having fun and providing great classes. I love the studio and the instructors.

Fantastic experience: Really fun place to get exercise in and every worker is very nice and patient. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: I have found a new home for workouts and self-care. My bestie and I have a great time taking classes here, together or separate . The staff is so nice. The new owner is so hands on, and cares so much about creating community in the studio. (you would think all studio owners would have that perspective. But after being in the dance&fitness world, that's not always the case. Thats something I really appreciate about TL. As well as, its not about, size, shape, weight or age. Its about doing something positive to strengthen yourself. ❤

Fantastic experience: It was my first time in a long time going to any gym, and I was nervous since I didn't know what to expect. The instructor made aerials look super easy, was patient, and used humor the entire time. I fit right in! I didn't feel super conscious about my body size like I normally feel at gyms. The place is a good size, and there's enough room for everyone to feel comfortable around each other, and people taking the class were very friendly, smiling, and happy! The ladies at the front were amazing too!

Fantastic experience: Thankful for aerial yoga. It's one of the only forms of exercise that I enjoy and have kept engaged with.

Fantastic experience: I’ve taken four classes in the last four days, both the aerial and bungee classes. The instructor, Turiya, was excellent, providing clear explanations for all the movements. I even dragged my husband to the bungee class, and he quite enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be back, next time we’re in the area!

Fantastic experience: I just had my first class. Instructors are so amazing. They gave me some extra assistance and allowed me to only do what I was comfortable with. I feel very confident that I will take more classes. The movements really helped my back and I am looking forward to more of the same.

Fantastic experience: These people are amazing, understanding and meet you where you're at. I took the beginner aerial class to start increasing my flexibility. My instructor Elyce (I think I spelled that right) never judged and was always happy to help me into poses. Try it if you're looking for a fun way to exercise!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! I just had my first intro to aerial class with the owner/trainer Amanda who was amazing. She made everyone feel comfortable and confident and I can't wait for my next class. this is great for breaking up your daily gym routine, it didn't even feel like a work out because it was so fun but man today am I sore !

Fantastic experience: Looking for a place like this in Tucson but cannot find it. Can anyone help with that?

Fantastic experience: I just did my first beginner bungee and had a blast! Would totally recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had tons of fun here with my fellow Geek Girls. We decided to try it after finding the Groupon. We have all different fitness levels in our group, but there were a ton of different class options, so we all found things that worked for our level. It was a great workout, my arms were so sore! We enjoyed it so much we decided to try the bungee class here too (which isn't included in the Groupon). It was fun and a totally unique experience.

Fantastic experience: Love Tough Lotus! The owner and all of the instructors are fantastic. Great experience from booking to finishing a class. Professional, clean and fun atmosphere. One of the best workouts I’ve ever had! Will definitely be back

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. I started coming this month to work out some lower back issues and improve my flexibility. Within a couple of classes im already feeling better and am amazed with how fun it is! As someone who absolutely loathes working out, this is a nice change and there are so many options. From basic stretching to flipping upside down and decompressing your spine to doing splits mid air; the classes are awesome. The owner loves what she does, is very talented and is taking trainings to teach us new and exciting things. She has the energy of a 3 year old and is fun to watch! All skill levels are welcome and the instructors help make you feel welcome. Although this location happens to be close to me, my only wish is that she had more so all of my friends could come from all over the Valley. Great work Amanda and staff, I'm in love :) Nina

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, facility and classes. Very welcoming and inviting staff and environment......I think I am hooked!!!

Fantastic experience: I hate to work out, but my class was so much fun that I didn't even notice I was sweating! I do hope you expand to north phoenix so I can attend more!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Amanda and Elyce! Plus the classes are so much fun while giving you a workout! Haven't sweated so much in a long time!! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Seriously the most fun I've ever had that had "exercise" attached to it!! This girl HATED working out till I discovered this place!! Amanda is AMAZING and so motivating!!
