Noon class staff February 25th were all amazing; helping me get situated for my first class here. Front desk staff were both super nice and helpful. Facilities were clean, fresh and class was a fantastic midday sweat. Would recommend and will be back 🤞🏽

Come EARLY, even 15-20 minutes before class, not only to be able to find parking but also to check in (there is a screen by the front desk) and, most importantly- to find and secure a spot for your mat!
All the other reviews pointing out how packed the class is are correct.
Sweat Yoga needs to change that. Especially in a hot room, you want enough space to move your body freely. They maximize profit by squeezing as many people as possible into a hot, sweaty, medium-sized room. I've tried CorePower Yoga (both locations, on 2nd Street and Wilshire), and their classes are much less crowded.

The instructor, Isabel Galler, was excellent; she knew what she was doing and how to keep us motivated and focused. She guided us with her voice soft but firm voice. Are you in good shape? Hot Yoga will humble you really quickly! I had to leave the room for a minute about three times to catch a breath and cool my body a bit.
At the end of the flow, you get a cold, wet, small towel to help your body cool down and recover. I definitely felt rejuvenated after the session.

The women's bathrooms and showers can get crowded. There are lockers in the women's restroom with a lock and code.
The customer service at the front desk could be better. As I walked in, I wasn't greeted in any way.
Street metered parking: If you come to the 6:30 AM class, you will find parking quickly and can put money in the meter at 8 AM so that parking will be free.

Did a yin class the other night with Angela! She is a great instructor. Will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends. Thank you sweat!

I love sweat yoga. I have been doing yoga for over 10 years and was not very interested in hot yoga. I started going go sweat and fell in love with it. I think the temp of the room is just right and not too much, I love that it is dark in the room (helps you be less distracted and feel more relaxed), and the music is good. I also appreciate that you can do your own thing and don’t feel pressured to follow the teacher. I recently moved and still drive 20-30min just to go to sweat because I have not found a yoga studio I enjoy as much. I feel great when I leave sweat and it has helped improve my overall health and mindset. 🙏🤸🏼‍♀️❤️ thank you

Sweat is the best yoga studio I’ve ever been to. From the challenging and expressive workouts, to the brick wall and candle-lit ambience, to the small details that make the studio unique like the cold towel at the end of class and being able to bring your dog (you leave them in the lobby and the front desk workers keep an eye on them). I really love all this studio embodies and joined after my trial. I highly recommend trying this place out, you won’t regret it!

In A Nutshell:

-Sweat Yoga in Santa Monica is good yoga studio.
-I like the fact they offer several classes throughout the day so you should be able to find one that fits your schedule.
-As far as sweating goes, yes you will sweat your a** off!
-The Sweat Flow classes are very tough due to the fact that holding poses slightly a bit longer than I am used + the 105 degree heated environment.
-If you are a seasoned yogi & need a challenge these classes are for you.
-If you are just starting out, I think doing these classes will be tough for you, but only you know yourself & limitations the best.

Overall, they have a nice new customer deal for $30, where you can sign up for unlimited classes within a 10 day period.

This place is amazing, in all the ways, and has really helped keep me motivated on my yoga journey this past year.

In the past, I have never consistently stayed with yoga in part because the experience I had at the studios I frequented was just okay. At Sweat, however, from day one I have loved my experience, super clean, friendly, great music, dark, and no mirrors. My practice here is all about me. Olivia the manager, is the best ever, and I love all of the instructors as well!

I waited a long time to write a review because it's already a popular studio, and I sort of want to keep it to myself, but really they are epic and everyone should know about it.
