I LOVE YogaFever! I am a member there, even-though there's a studio closer to my house - I drive the extra distance because I rather have the atmosphere, the instructors and just all around vibe that Yoga Fever offers.

About a year ago, my friend and I were taking random fitness classes just doing new things. I had NEVER done yoga before, but Shannon was so awesome with her instruction during my first class that I quickly picked up each pose and was able to flow with the rest of the yogis. I continue to practice at YogaFever because no matter what class I attend, the instructor is well-prepared, knowledgeable and very very helpful for "newbies" like myself. At the same time, they recognize those in class that can move a little deeper and a little farther as seasoned yogis and will provide variations of each pose according to your comfort level. Its fun to push myself to reach new poses and I can definitely see an improvement in my strength, my fitness level, my flexibility, my asthma, my allergies... all of the above are benefits of hot yoga.

I recommend YogaFever to just about everyone in my life, you will not be disappointed. If you are new to yoga like I was, it is NOT as intimidating as you assume it to be! Give YogaFever a try, you can thank me later. :)

I first visited Yoga Fever a few months back with the goal of increasing and maintaining my flexibility. For my exercise, I typically spend quite a bit of time lifting weights in the gym and was concerned about feeling a bit too tight. Just one example is that I would often get tension headaches, as I perceived, from having a very tight trapezius stemming from my shoulder and back workouts. Since I've started practicing yoga here, I've noticed a distinct decrease in occurrence of headaches. I can't be entirely certain it's the reason, but it seems to be so. Shortly after, I made a commitment to myself by signing on for a year!

Early on in my visits, I quickly noticed the quality of the staff and studio. It has a sharp design and always is well maintained. The staff has yet to do anything but impress me with their courtesy and level of expertise. Instructors have always been mindful of each person and their own developmental stage. There has been no pressure, only responsible encouragement. I have also been impressed by the consideration and knowledge of appropriate movement, especially with attention to creating an alteration in practice when it has been needed. I must say though, goddess pose really gave me a challenge. Maybe if I hadn't done my squats and deadlifts in the gym that day I'd have had a better chance at that one!

Looking a bit more closely at a few of the details of the studio, I had never before attempted hot yoga. Increasing the temperature has allowed for increased flexibility by keeping my muscles and joints warm as I practice. Upon further research, I've found that the warmth also encourages a natural detox, and produces an increased cardio workout.

Considering the health value provided, and all of the people involved, I am happily adding this to my exercise routine. It's only been a couple months, but I certainly look forward to the future! Highly recommended!

So many classes per day, you are bound to find one that suits you! I highly recommend the yin class with Gretchen. She reminds us that yoga is not a competition or a beauty contest. It's a great place for busy people to take some time to themselves and slow down. Deep stretching accompanied with. Beautiful music and dim lighting leads you to rejuvenate and restore your body without being self-conscious. Attend! You won't be disappointed. Yoga bingo going on now to help motivate you with prizes and fun challenges.

Yoga Fever is my favorite studio to go to in Grand Rapids. Their instructors are highly skilled and experienced and they offer a wide variety of classes. I love every class I have attended and continue to return even though I live further away now. I graduated teacher training from Yoga Fever as well and have been able to start teaching in my town with great success thanks to Shannon's excellent and professional training!

I have been to quite a few yoga studios and have practiced for over 10 years and this is one of the best. The people of Grand Rapids have a great yoga studio tucked away in a trendy neighborhood with lots of cute shops up and down the street. I visited while on a business trip and let me tell you, if I could pick up this studio and take it back to Cleveland/ Cincinnati with me I would. It is very clean and relaxing environment for new and experienced yogis. I would go back in a heart beat. The studio was clean and hot, we practiced with the room at 99 degrees Fahrenheit. It felt amazing especially when you are done with the class and the outside temperature is 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The teacher, Shannon was amazing and adorable, she reminded me of a yoga instructor I had out west. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, if you needed small adjustments in your practice she helped. When someone in the class had a good pose going on she praised them. It was a very relaxing environment and for a 10:30 am class on a Wednesday there were quite a few people but it was not crowded. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to deepen their practice and enjoy a true hot yoga practice.

YogaFever is a hidden gem in Grand Rapids. As a graduate student who is busy with school & not making much money, I decided to try an intro month with a friend to see what the gym was like. We are hooked and will both be purchasing a membership once our intro month runs out. The variety of classes keeps you busy and never bored. There are so many options of classes and the combo classes are a blast! The people are so welcoming and motivating. If you are hesitant to check it out, this is the push you've been looking for! Try it out! You won't regret it!

After talking about getting into yoga for years my first official yoga and cycle classes were at their facility and I can't be more impressed. The ambiance, instructors, and community embody a lifestyle that could benefit everyone in these uncertain terms. They offer variety of classes including some combinations and classes to ease into the practice for beginners as well.

If you're looking to reach that next level (mind and body) joining this studio is an investment you won't regret.

Yoga Fever is an amazing local gem. All of instructors are so kind and genuinely helpful. They even take the time to come up with new routines for each class so it feels like a fresh experience every time. I love that the studio is also decorated by local artists artwork for sale. Highly recommend!

We would be giving this a zero but it doesn t let you. My wife cancelled her account in Dec/Jan when she moved across the country. They continued to charge her for two more months before she caught it. She called to cancel before they charged her a 3rd month and a charge showed up on her account a day after that phone call. They claim to have no paperwork for her cancellation and yet to provide confirmation that they have cancelled after 2 phone calls either. They may be cheaper than other places around but that s just because they continue to charge you for months after you have cancelled your services.

Yoga Fever is my happy place!As a student of the teacher training program, I have developed a close relationship with this studio and love how it centers around community and goes above and beyond in creating an atmosphere of integrity, growth, and acceptance. The physical studio is warm, inviting, and always clean. The instructors are knowledgeable and display obvious care for their students. The teacher training program, led by studio owner and yoga instructor, Shannon Austin, has exceeded my expectations in gaining knowledge of the practice, delving deeper into myself and into the role of teacher of this great gift of yoga!

My favorite location in town. The mirrors and ambiance did it for me. Aside from the warm welcoming smile at the desk and motivating instructors, that's definitely a plus and what keeps me coming back for more of a sweat. Always learning something new each time I come. Thank you yoga fever for helping me find my katumba.

I started going here about a month and a half ago. I started with their intro membership and I loved it so much that I bought a three month membership! A ton of different times for classes, different levels and very encouraging instructors. The studio is gorgeous and has the best vibe. Thankful for this community for helping me find a new passion in having a healthy mind and body. :)

Just wanted to make a shout out to Shannon and fabulous teachers at Yoga Fever. You help us set our intentions for practice and life...which are one in the same. Everyone knows me by name and I feel welcomed when I step into the studio. It s a comfortable environment and everyone is friendly. Each class is unique, and each teacher brings their fullest to the class. It s a great place to practice hot yoga in GR. Thank you!

I have been at Yoga Fever for a week and am loving it. It can be very intimidating to walk into a new place and not know anything, but they really make you feel comfortable and at home. They are quick to learn you name, and help you with any questions you may have. I also love the variety of classes with the different times, I work two jobs and am in night school, so I m always able to find a class that fits my work week

I LOVE LOVE yoga fever!! They have the best fitness instructors in GR. You can tell they all have a passion for what they do. I love the combo of classes. Yoga is my first love but I love the barre and am starting to try the cycling classes. The studio is very clean and they take sanitation very serious with Covid. I would recommend this studio to anyone in GR.

Exceptional instructors and nice sized very clean studio. Nice and hot and those newer to the practice like me will appreciate the instructors because they articulate the postures very well and suggest variations if needed. Try it out.

The hot flow class is the challenge I ve been looking for to push me to my next level. The space is so welcoming and peaceful, and the staff couldn t be more friendly. I can tell after one visit, this is a studio where I can truly grow in my Yoga practice. I m so excited I found Yoga Fever!

I have been love love loving Yoga Fever
I started out this year with what seemed like one health concern after another (beginning with Covid itself ) which made it difficult for me to feel motivated and physically comfortable to exercise. But the variety of classes they offer made it easy for me to choose one that fit my body s needs each day! Not to mention the awesome mindbody connection I have been cultivating since beginning my membership.

I also am so happy they are open right now despite the pandemic because I, as many of us are right now, am working from home & therefore spend endless hours in my house. It feels amazing to get out & interact with this community. This membership has been worth it not only for my physical well-being but for my mental health as well!

I m very happy & grateful to support and be supported by this studio.

This is an exceptional studio and space. The clean white walls really open and invite each individual. The owner/instructor is amazingly skilled in her teaching practice. The NATURAL light in the studio is so inviting I could stay all day and bask like a cat.
What I love most about this studio is the attention to the spirit body as well as the physical body. Too often we humans only focus on the body and that can lead to unbalance. This studio is grace-filled place where body and spirit are actively merging.

I have been a member of a few different small business studios in Chicago + GR and have taught at one as well. The Yoga Fever studio + ALL instructors have been my favorite! They re motivating, positive, inclusive, workouts are challenging but DOABLE and efficient... effective on the outside, AND, the inside in terms of mental health + self confidence. I started attending before everything was shut down due to Covid. I miss cycling the most. Can t wait until they can reopen and until then have been following them on Instagram for information. They have hold safe, socially distanced outdoor community workouts around GR. I ve made several great friends just through attending their classes. I m so grateful for this studio team and their community. Shannon has built something wonderful.

The Best Yoga in Grand Rapids! Not the same old routine week in and week out like some studios (most in GR if I m being honest). Instead, Elaina moves you out of your comfort zone and pushes you to the edge- where growth takes place. Not for the faint of heart but still a totally judgement-free zone where everyone has permission to try... and fail... and try again. I especially like the free-flows that she does. It takes much more concentration and causes an inward journey toward new strength and calm. Thank you Elaina for bringing this style to GR! Namaste.

I've been looking for a studio/teacher for over a year and I'm so thankful to have found Yoga Fever. The breathing cues and flow sequences are spot on, and I especially appreciate the attention to the actual history and philosophy of yoga. The practice is respectful and mindful at all levels rather than focusing on the new lulu lemon pants or pseudo yogic chatter. Thank you!

Love this place! Getting back into fitness after the year we've had, and feeling really intimidated to start exercise again is tough. But YogaFever makes everything positive, fun and inclusive.

Don't feel intimidated to join, and take some control over your own movement!

Even with the pandemic going on, I really love that I feel I don t have to worry too much about it because they take preventative measures such as spacing people apart at appropriate distances!

I would like to start by saying the reason I'm leaving this review anonymously is because i feel bad for saying it as I love to support small businesses. However, when the owner and staff pressures everyones to leave a good review, it's uncomfortable being the only honest one.

Did not like the ambiance of this yoga studio at all. There was no music playing whatsoever and the room was very bright. It didn't feel like a relaxing place to be. It's hard to tune everything out when the room is so bright and quiet that you can hear cars outside. I don't remember our instructor's name, but I have literally never felt less interest from an instructor. Yoga is an expensive investment, make sure you choose a place that fits your needs.

AWESOME hot yoga! they focus on alignment, not just flow. i took the slow flow class and was actually given time to settle into my warrior 2 and hold it for a few breaths. i had misty as my instructor--she was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and gave us a great work out.

the studio is bright and clean with plenty of cubbies for your stuff. bring a mat and a big towel and a bottle (or 2!) or water and get ready for a good time.
