YAS Fitness Centers

I came to this studio through ClassPass, but I wasn’t really impressed. The studio is split up into a yoga room on the right and a cycle room on the left. When I checked in, I asked the receptionist about shoes and she says, «they are $ 2.» To which I replied, «well ClassPass didn’t mention anything about paying for rentals and neither did your confirmation email…» At that point she was pretty annoyed with me but you could tell she was trying to be nice so she said she would give me shoes. The studio doesn’t offer towels or bring you eucalyptus hand towels when you are through with your ride (yeah, that’s right! Check out Cyclelab in Anaheim where they give you eucalyptus hand towels after your ride = amazing!). So after walking into the cycle studio, I asked the instructor if it was open seating and she said yes. The bikes are very very basic. They have no monitor or anything fancy on them. There is no tv screen where you can watch your stats or anything. So I saddled up and started cycling. The music was loud but not too loud; however, the instructor’s mic was a bit too loud for my liking. It was so loud it hurt my ears. The instructor wasn’t very motivational. She would randomly sing with the music and all she would say was «work!» «work!» Every once in a while. Personally it was one of the most bland spin classes I’ve ever been to. The instructor was nice, but since I can go to almost any other studio I likely won’t be back.

Awesome music choice by Sabrina tonight, I think it’s what got me through the work out!!! This was only my second spin class and it was harder than I remembered. A lot of the workout depends on how hard you push yourself, so don’t sell yourself short — turn up the resistance!

When I first signed up for YAS via ClassPass, my first impression was they got their name from the popular way of saying «yaasss.» Turns out, YAS stands for «Yoga and Spin.»
Few things I liked:
–Self-​explanatory, no-​frills studio with a yoga room to your right and spin room to your left and lockers/​bathrooms in the back.
–Plenty of parking in the street lot, which is an oft overlooked yet much-​appreciated plus.
–Even though I was unaware, the class I signed up for was actually 30 min spin followed by 30 min yoga.
–Free locker key rentals so long as you temporary trade them your car keys.
–Yoga mat and spin shoe rentals for $ 2/​each but the receptionist was nice enough to comp me the yoga mat my first time.
If you’re looking for a more balanced workout that’s not solely spin or yoga, fret not because YAS has got you covered. The combo class is great and definitely the first I’ve seen!

I went for the yoga which was really just okay. I have a feeling the spin classes are much better as I could hear them in the other room. I’m not much of a spinner so I went to check out the yoga only. Oh well.

YAS East Costa Mesa has the nicest staff and clients. I always feel so welcome. This place is not intimidating at all. They did a great job helping me get my form right so I won’t injure myself. This is my happy place.

Poor housekeeping, place is very dirty, bathrooms and spin room also very dirty.
I have seen people walking away without cleaning their bikes. Floor is
sweaty and dirty, i have not seen anybody cleaning.

As good as it gets. This is my favorite place. Love both spin and yoga. I really feel at home here. All of the instuctors are terrific; Becky, Anne Marie, Courtney and Susannah rock the spin room… Jason, Happy and everyone are great yogis for both the beginner and advanced. Best part is there are no egos… everyone makes you really feel at home, and YAS is a amazing community of people who care about YOU. I’m addicted. Love you, YAS!!! and thank you.

Today was my first spin class EVER. I took it at Yaz in silver lake LA and loved it. I had Alyssa who was amazing. She took the time to show me my bike and how to adjust it, answered all my questions and gave me advice on how to handle my knee injury. I’ll definitely start spinning regularly and will especially come to this location whenever I can. For those of you intimidated by how hard you may have heard spin class is, don’t worry. You can take it slow if needed, and it’s totally doable :)

When I read the name of this yoga and spin studio, I immediately thought, «Yaassssssss» but apparently it’s pronounced with a hard «z» like in «Yaz.»
Anyway, I visited YAS because my friend wanted someone to go with her for her first spin class. I registered for an introductory class for $ 13 and signed in. Unfortunately, my friend ended up being 20 minutes late, so I went into the class by myself. The instructor was super nice and motivating, but seeing as I had never been to a spin studio before, I didn’t realize you needed special «spin» shoes or else you’d have to put special attachments on the pedals. (Who knew?)
Anyway, the instructor stopped cycling to help me with attaching the pedals, but she still kept motivating the rest of the class. Spin is a great way to get cardio in because you can adjust the difficulty according to your preferences and be motivated alongside other classmates. I like that they have the option of yoga or spin, which are both great ways to get in shape without the intimidation factor of going to the gym.
I think YAS is a great option if you like the class environment for fitness and if you have a good amount of disposable income (let’s be real here). One of the better fitness class experiences I’ve had!

A great choice for spin and yoga! Bikes are in great shape, class variety and times are extensive, studio is clean and well ventilated, instructor’s playlists are all over the map and not just techno, and finally restrooms, shower and changing rooms are clean! Best of all, purchased classes never expire. My schedule allows me to use my classes only during a few weeks each year, however, because my classes don’t expire, I can take advantage of special promotions, but am not required to immediately use the classes. First class studio with great instructors and customer friendly policies!!!

YAS Fitness has definitely changed my life for the better. My body, mind, and spirit has been transformed. Since joining, I have also found a community that constantly supports me! From the moment I walk in I feel like I’m home! The front desk staff is so friendly and the instructors are always energetic and fun! I love YAS!

Love yas! Great instructors and you get a real workout. Both spin and yoga are some of the best I’ve been to. Nice equipment.

Perfect combo –spin and yoga. Jason had great energy during spin. Room is bright and the vibe is not night club. No ear plugs needed. Good for all levels of spin and yoga!

New to this place so far I love it. It’s supper clean and a cool atmosphere. Very friendly employees as well. I highly recommend this place !

This is a great spinning place — there are always bikes available and the music is generally pretty good for an old rock n roller like me. Excellent smartphone app too!

As someone who still considers himself to be an «athlete» I honestly love how the combination of spin classes and yoga either add to my other activities or help me recover. I moved to the area about 2 years ago and started practicing here shortly after that.
The spin classes have been a major help in training for ½ marathons along with building my leg strength for the rugged climbs that OC has for mountain biking. Having the mostly constant format for the workouts helps you judge your progress and continue to challenge yourself. Having the great music selections that the instructors mix up make it easier to continue the push. I usually can only make the 6:15 on tues or thurs with Emily who has fun mix of rock beats to keep the legs pumping!
Having the ability to cross the hall essentially and go into a Yoga class is not only beyond convenient but also a blessing at times! Somedays the legs just can’t handle the beating and the body definitely appreciates the yoga workout. There are a few different level classes some of which go into some more advanced posses while still have the all-​levels base if you arent up to that speed just yet. Most importantly for me is that the classes are never overly crowded which is nice to have good space to relax mentally as well as decompressing the body!

I enjoy the signature YAS classes. It feels good to get your stretch on with a little yoga after sweating/​working your butt off spinning. The regular spin classes are great too. Upbeat instructors, motivating music, and a big studio. If you don’t like working out in cramped, claustrophobic conditions you will definitely appreciate the YAS cycling room. It has high ceilings and plenty of natural light from a wall of windows. I also have found the instructors and staff to be very helpful and welcoming. There’s none of the pretense, cliquishness, or attitude that you find at a lot of other fitness studios in Costa Mesa/​Newport.

Solid! I was looking for something to kickstart my workout routine. After my first visit I came away extremely impressed. Right away I felt a positive vibe in the building and noticed that all the instructors are motivational masters and willing to go out of their way to help. Now with the new upgrades made it’s even better.
The thing I like is that I can take a variety of classes depending on my time or what I want to do. The 45 minute spin class with Emily is my go to but I definitely feel pretty sound after one of the two yoga classes too; stretch or core. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Fun format; love the yoga at the end. A good way to spend an hour if you want to get a bit in on both exercises.

I absolutely love and am addicted to YAS. I am there nearly there ⁵⁄₆ times a week! It is such a fun work out and makes cardio easy and fun. Even though you’re burning hundreds of calories a class, you forget that you’re working out. I push harder than I ever thought I could. At the end of every class, I am dripping with sweat, my entire shirt is completely soaked and I feel like I am on top of the world. The staff is fantastic; from the people who greet you & sign you in, and especially the instructors! Oh, did I mention Yoga — the Yoga room is right next-​door. Nobody that I know of has a Spin and Yoga room (s) in the same studio.
My favorite teachers are: Happy, Anne Marie, Jen L., Jamie J., Shaunna, Becky, Katie, Marnie, Joanna, Christine, Michelle and of course Whitney!
Tip: bring a towel you will sweat!
