The Gym Project

This week I visited the Embora Wellness and Movement studio in Brooklyn. http://www.embora.com/. This cosy studio at 900, Fulton street is smaller than you expect.

Score card

Facilities: 6/10
There is a tiny changing room, two toilets and I am not sure if there is a shower room or lockers. You also need to bring your own towel.

Variety of classes: 7/10
Given the size of the space, there is a number of classes you can attend: Yoga, cardio-kickboxing, capoeira angola, belly dancing, pilates and strengthen & stretch and a few others....

Rate of difficulty: 8/10
I tried the strengthen and stretch class. Although it seemed too easy in the beginning, it turned out to be challenging enough. Some movements and postures reminded of pilates but they were far more difficult to perform. I liked the balance exercises with the ball – too hard even to think about! Overall, a fun but challenging class. You will be sweating in the end. Try it out if you visit Embora!
