Boone Studio

Great cute little studio with very friendly staff. So far I’ve tried the yoga, TRX, barre and kettle bell classes. They’re all good and offer different types of workout. I wish there were more yoga classes, though. Street parking can be tricky so plan ahead.

I have been a member of Boone studio for over a year now. My favorite classes are the barre yoga and trx. Though Boone is small, it offers a lot of unique and fun classes that can’t be found anywhere else. Mixing barre and yoga is a brilliant idea for getting us to focus on alignment and deepen our flexibility. The studio is beautiful and clean and everyone is very friendly. Definitely a great place to workout.

I’ve had a membership at Boone Studio for over six months now, so I I guess I should get down to writing a review.
If you live locally and are looking to take studio classes as part of your fitness routine, go to Boone. The classes are consistently challenging. The instructors are knowledgeable and give everyone individual attention to make sure you are actually improving from class to class. The owner, Hala, is a lovely woman. She is always available to her clients to answer questions and make sure that you’re comfortable.
I started taking classes at Boone this summer when I decided it was time to get fit. I was really self-​conscious and nervous at my first class, but the clientele and the instructors are so warm and open that I came back again and again. Boone inspired me to get into shape and take care of my body. I can testify that if you go consistently you WILL see results. Most of the classes are an hour or so in length, and they fly by. I look forward to going all day.

I began my yoga practice with Hala, at a different gym before she opened Boone Studio. She is the real deal yogi. Once she left that gym and opened Boone Studio, I sought her out (I didn’t have to go far). I was blessed with the gift of yoga for the holidays that year, which allowed me to go to Boone 2 x per week for 6 months. Unfortunately, Hala was focused on establishing the studio and exploring different styles and classes, so I did not have many opportunities to have her lead my practice. Nor did I take much interest in the alternative styles she was offering. I like my straight up yoga, the way she first taught me. With that said, I would totally recommend Hala and her studio, whatever classes they choose to teach. I have since moved out of the area, but I’ve heard she also opened up a little café right across the street. I’m sure that would be another 5-​stars, if I were to get over there.

I’ve been taking a few TRX classes at Boone and so far so good. TRX is a good workout and it isn’t offered at the gym where I have a membership (NYSC Montclair). Hala is a great, great instructor– a good blend of serious fitness guru and quirky, bubbly teacher (she’ll break out in an impromptu dance number in a second). We’ve used weights, gliders, and foam rollers so they are well equipped in there. I had taken a TRX class elsewhere and gotten injured. Even though the class is intense, Hala is very careful about form and I’ve been able to work out pain free. The studio is also really nice (as another Unilocaler said, cozy) and modern, and the folks that attend classes here are very chill (this is not a snobby pilates studio– and I have definitely been to one).
The only thing that was a hassle was using the Unilocal deal that I purchased. I couldn’t sign up for the first class using the online system with my Unilocal voucher number so I had to call (and I had trouble reaching someone the first few times that I called and got no response when I tried to email).
I also wish that the classes were a bit more affordable (they are probably reasonably priced to others but I’m a student so a student discount of some sort would be nice).

Tried Boone out in Aug of 2013. Joined on the spot and have been going regularly since then. Great variety of classes. I love that I can take Yoga, Plates, Kettle Bell Training, TRX, or a Barre class with my membership. Teachers are great, always ALWAYS supportive. Give it a try-​you will not be disappointed, and you will feel great!

I had never liked working out until I started coming to Boone. But the small classes, cozy atmosphere, and amazing teachers made such a difference — now I actually look forward to exercising. I love the range of classes here and the supportive, positive environment. I’ve never been stronger or more fit in my life.
The two studios are sunny and airy, and while parking can be tricky certain times of day, there’s a parking garage close by and it’s totally worth it. The babysitting service is great too — my two young kids love coming to boone and getting to play while mom works out. This place is amazing.

Took a Barre class here as part of Unilocal’s Fit Club.
Really nice, cozy space and professional staff.
The pace was a little fast for me at first during the warm up, but I’m not too graceful!
Boy oh boy is this a work out. My legs were sore for days. I think yoga is more my vibe but this is an excellent method for toning up and getting sleek. There were some great exercises I picked up for lower back pain too. It was a pretty balanced work out and I’d recommend trying it once to see if you like it.
I’m definitely going to check out their other offerings!

Small, but cozy facility.
Nice staff & will help you with every routine — the instructors give you tips and will be with you step by step
Terrible parking area, bring lots of coins!~
Various classes to choose from

Took a Barre class as part of the Unilocal Fit Month. The location is smack in the middle of Montclair downtown, walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the area. Street parking is a hit or miss but there are muni parking lots in the area.
The class room sizes are on the smaller side — maximum 10 I think which I think is great so you can get individualized attention from the instructor. It was my second barre class and I am really getting hooked. Barre is very low impact but I was sweating like crazy and I am sore today in those forgotten muscle areas.
Too bad I live 45 min away. Otherwise, I can totally see myself coming here often…

I attended a Unilocal Fit Club Class here and loved it! It’s located in the heart of gorgeous Montclair, in a lovely studio with big rustic windows. I REALLY enjoyed the way the instructor led the class (I completely forgot her name though). I took a barre class which combines yoga, ballet and pilates. Very fun and intense. I felt like I got a really good workout, which is always important when taking a class. I ended up buying a week pass so I can test the other class options before buying any of the bigger packages.
Great spot! :)

I’ve been coming to Boone since they opened in the Fall of 2012. Right before Hurricaine Sandy. (in which they opened their doors to all of us to not just take classes but to just come to shower and recharge your phones). Not only do they have a beautiful studio, but they offer a variety of classes and are always up to date on the newest classes or methods. (TRX, Barre, Pilates, Booty Barre, various yoga classes/​methods. They challenge you but also tell you go at your pace. If the class has a number of students who have been taking the course for awhile, they change the pace/​level so that we stay challenged and get a great workout. Safety is a number one priority for them so you will have techniques that will ensure you are not injured, personally assist you with any injury you may have to recommend alternative methods, and you will always get the appropriate amount of stretching (prevent injury and unnecessary pain.). All of the instructors are amazing and the attendees are fun. No airs about this place. It’s all about getting a great workout and a better/​healthier body. I drive 20 minutes 3 times a week and feel that it is worth it!

I go to Boone on a weekly basis to get my dose of Yoga. The yoga instructors are all different and they each focus on different aspects of Yoga. I have yet to be disappointed on any of my visits!

Great Yoga Class!
Intense sessions. Classy location. Positive atmosphere.

Love this studio. Warm and friendly, GREAT teachers and very reasonable prices.

I have been attending classes at Boone Studio since it opened and I absolutely love it!
It’s a clean, inspiring space located in hip Montclair. There are lockers, a changing room and a lavatory for patrons. For your chosen class you are equipped with all the necessary amenities, from clean towels and weights to yoga mats.
Classes start on time and the instructors are encouraging and very experienced. The class sizes are not too big which allows the instructors to provide some one on one time with you, assisting you with your alignment if you need it or want it.
All classes are considered ‘Open Level’ and variations of moves are suggested for persons with injuries or certain limitations.
My favorite classes are the Barre Yoga and Vbarre but no matter what class you take you will develop a greater awareness of your body and posture as you tone up. I recommend this Studio for the dancer/​yogi in you or just anyone who wants to get fit and have a little fun.

I absolutely love this studio! Not only are the classes unique and challenging, the staff is particularly talented and skilled. Barre Yoga is one of my favorites and can’t be found anywhere else. Hala is a wonderful teacher with incredible skill.
Another great aspect is the child care. There is a wonderful room just across the hall for kids to play in (with adult supervision!) while classes take place. And the prices are great! Finally, the schedule is very friendly to those who work during the day as well as those who are available during the day. I love the 8PM option when I have a long day at work or the early morning classes when I am free. There are also lots of mid-​day classes as well! There is also a Sunday evening class which is led by Jennifer — very hard to find that time slot elsewhere, and Jennifer is a fantastic instructor. I would very highly recommend Boone!

I’m from out of town but decided to drop in and try out Jessie’s yoga class while I was in town for the holidays. I loved Jessie’s class — it was fun and energizing, and she did a really great series — accessible to beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Fun music, great adjustments, and I am a sucker for a savasana massage to finish up class. The studio is gorgeous — drenched in natural light, clean, unpretentious, calming. Friendly check in too — they obviously know their clients and treat them well. I can’t wait to go back!

Great space to get fit and be inspired!
Approachable & knowledgeable teachers help me improve posture and give excellent advise/​exercise for strength training.
Working through some challenging poses using the Barre, I am in better shape and look forward to the classes.

I had never tried a Barre class before coming to Boone. I tried two complimentary classes during their open house week, and after trying the VBARRE class (which was way too advanced for me), I found that I loved the Barre and Barre 85 classes.
I was afraid that the hot classes would make me feel gross and overheated, but it really is wonderfully relaxing. I like that there are also a bunch of different memberships to choose from — depending on how many times a week you think you’ll be going. I’m so glad this klutz has found a place to learn Barre where I don’t feel like a complete dolt! I really want to try the Barre Yoga class!
