GoogleI really love ERP. Kate, Brian, Stephanie, and Cansu are all amazing. The cardio classes are the perfect warmup to run back home to Queens. As an instructor on my way to being fully certified, I’ve received nothing but clear, concise cues, intelligent sequences, and good feedback with all these teachers. The studios I’ve visited are clean, and I love their socks (I know—weird). Normally, I have clients every time there’s a cardio class, but when I don’t, I will be visiting.
I’ve been to a few different studios in different cities, and nothing compares to ERP. I first joined in 2022 after my first pregnancy. A year later I was pregnant again and took the prenatal classes. This was a huge help physically and mentally as I went through this time and it absolutely helped me w the birth and recovery. I highly recommend these classes and all their other classes too! The neighborhood is very lucky to have ERP.
Great first experience at ERP with Kate. The prenatal class was both gentle and challenging. She took her time to explain and support. Will definitely be back!
Updating my review since I originally only left stars. I like this studio and took a few classes. The place is clean and maintained. I feel safe and usually the instructors are clear and have good music. The 12 hour policy and app is super easy and convenient. My only complaint was feeling like I wasn’t pushed enough. I will say I’m a personal trainer so I’m fit. But even with going higher on the resistance some of the classes were just too easy in my opinion. That being said this place is likely great for beginners. But the only instructor I really liked was Sarah Diamond. She was energetic and pushed everyone in the class while still giving modifications if needed.
Love love love! You have to try Yunny’s class. She is hilarious and so tough. A 10/10 workout. Will be back!
