The Bar Method Edina

I write this review in my capacity as a visiting client from CA rather than an instructor: I love the ample, free parking next to the studio and its location to lovely bars & restaurants within walking distance- barre and bar! The manager and instructors made me feel so welcome as a visitor; they tend to your needs and make you feel special! They also have very cute retail that I haven't seen at other studios!!!

I highly recommend you make a visit- whether you are a visiting client from another studio or a local needing a regular exercise routine.

The Bar Method has been the only work out I've stuck with consistently and I've been doing it now for 4 years. The instructors are fantastic and everyone there truly cares about you and your fitness journey. It was a great way to stay active throughout my pregnancy and the live stream classes make it easy to fit in to life with a toddler as well. Highly recommended.

I have been a Bar Method Fan for 10 years! I have attended Bar Method Classes in Hermosa Beach, San Francisco, Chicago, Highland Park, Scottsdale, NYC, Philadelphia & Boston. Without a doubt the best instructors are right here in Minneapolis! I love the fact that there is a group of us who have been here from the start and are still here. The Bar Method is a part of our lives and even when life takes an unexpected direction and we may temporarily stray, we always return!  Thank you to all of the wonderful staff and instructors that make me feel like I have a true Bar Family :)

I love coming to exercise at this studio! All of the instructors are knowledgeable, dedicated and supremely gifted. I've met more smart natural leaders in this relatively small space than I have in any other comparable studio or gym...ever!
There is a genuine spirit of collegiality and supportive non-competitiveness. As an exerciser on the other side of 65, I am most definitely a devotee of The Bar Method approach and philosophy. I have seen the results in myself in terms of strength, agility and balance. I love having a place to go where it is safe to  challenge myself--and be challenged--to keep growing in fitness. Thank you, thank you!

The Bar Method stood out to me because the attention to physiology and collaboration with actual physical therapists. I have a background in dance (long ago), yoga, and other exercise. I'm attempting to return to physical activity to build strength after a forced hiatus due to health issues. I have to be extremely careful in how I exercise, and so far Bar Method hasn't caused any issues. It's a place where you will be challenged, but it's low impact and modifiable if you have physical/health issues that make exercise tricky. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful, and the atmosphere is friendly and encouraging. Give it try! Especially if you need a little extra care in your journey back to strength.

Birkenstock & More

Update: got a call from Christy at the Glendale location. She’s awesome, totally made things right and then some! Go see her for your shoe needs!!!

Bought a rather expensive pair of Birkenstock sandals a little over a year ago. Normal seasonal wear, not everyday. They’ve broken. Rep at the store says that’s “common and a year of seasonal wear is normal for a hundred dollar pair of sandals”. So just a heads up, don’t expect more than a year of occasional use for your money here.

I appreciated the great customer service at the time of purchase. I also received my specially ordered items promptly as promised. I then received multiple follow-up calls to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. Allie was wonderful!

Never order from this store for an item to be shipped! We ordered a pair of sandals for my husband that was deployed to be sent to him overseas, paid in store and he NEVER received the sandals and now we’re out $135! I was sent a fraudulent tracking number from the vendor of this store his name is Scott.. they never made it right. I would never shop at this third party store ever again and I suggest if you are a soldier definitely don’t shop here if they don’t have them in stock! You will NOT receive your merchandise!

I was visiting St. Louis when someone decided they liked my 20+ year old Bostons more than me.
I called, and asked if my size was in stock. The nice woman told me they have them, then she proceeded to tell me the store hours, and she was setting them aside for me. I showed up, and bought the new Bostons. Wonderful experience I will only buy birks when I'm in St. Louis, and experience the great customer service I've received here. Thank you for a painless purchase.

I went to Birkenstock & More to buy my son his first pair of Birkenstocks. They had many many beautiful & unique women’s styles in all kinds of colors in styles.  Additionally, they had quite a few options for men in both sandals & closed toed shoes.  Colleen the store manager was incredibly helpful in finding the exact right sizing for my son. She even offered to mail us a pair if we didn’t find what we needed in stock. Luckily they had his right size & preferred style.  I highly recommend!!

Bodiology Pilates

Wonderful pilates studio with a great instructor.  Pilates is a great low impact way to get active - especially if you are just starting out.  And Bodiology is a great place to learn.  The studio is conveniently located off of 394 with plenty of parking.  Inside it has high ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors with boho carpets and a fireplace.  It’s warm and welcoming space.  Not intimidating and cold like so many gyms!  The instructor, also a Catherine, is patient and really cares that you learn and take care of your body.  She is great at explaining everything and matching the speed at which you learn.  I really enjoy working with her!  Check out her Groupon specials for beginners, but make sure the times work for you before purchasing :).

I came across this place via Groupon. I'm usually weary when it comes to places through groupon, but, Bodiology is definitely a place I would recommend for anyone that wants to start getting into pilates. I've taken several classes in the past, but never had an instructor like Kathy who really starts at the fundamentals. She guides you through every movement and makes you feel very comfortable if you do something incorrectly. She will make sure you do things properly before moving to the next thing. I appreciated it very much. Her studio is very clean and welcoming with all the pilates equipment you would want to work with. Her covid precautions are up above and beyond expectations-I felt very safe. I highly recommend booking with Kathy at Bodiology!

TheKey - Formerly Home Care Assistance

We used The Key for our mother in the Spring of 2023.  We gradually had to increase the number of hours per day until she moved into a skilled nursing facility.  There were several times that our mother's circumstances and our needs changed very fast.  The Key was tremendous in figuring out how to meet our staffing needs.  We had at least half a dozen different caregivers and with one exception they were extraordinary in how they worked with our mother and us.  The Key did a great job of assessing the needs before sending someone out.  They were very responsive whether it be text, call or email.  Our mother had specific needs in terms of helping her with toileting, showering, exercises and clothing.  The caregivers listened carefully and followed instructions but also provided advice from their experience to better meet our mother's needs.  I would highly recommend them.

I am so happy I found TheKey to help care for my father! His caregiver is kind, does an excellent job each week of laundry, cleaning, bathing, and food prep. I speak to her on the phone during her visits and she communicates anything my father needs or if there is something that needs further attention. He really enjoys her visits. I love the caregiver log so I can see the tasks that are checked off and any comments. The staff are wonderful and caring and took the time to answer all my questions when exploring the service and we had an introductory meeting as well. Having this service in place gives our family the help and peace of mind that was desperately needed. I highly recommend TheKey!

McKnight Place Extended Care has used the Key and would recommend them due to having good communication, reliable care givers, quick to respond to any needed feed back, and commitment to ensure families are happy.

We have been with The Key for a short time, but already they have proven to be very caring and very attentive!  The first person that we worked with was Sarah (and we continue to work with her as she is our contact person)....she has been fantastic!  She is a great listener and a wonderful problem solver.  She helped us find the right person for Dad and everything is running very smoothly!  Michael is experienced and very knowledgeable...their (Michael and Dad's) personalities seem to work well together!  Needless to say, we are very thankful to have found The Key!

I have worked with Home Care Assistance for over two years now and I have only had positive experiences with the company. They provide flexible options for hours since I am also a student. They also keep an open line of communication with the caregivers and I feel that I can always come to them whenever I am in need of assistance. The staff is extremely friendly and approachable. I always feel welcome and appreciated when I come into the office. The care managers also are skilled in making sure their caregivers' strengths match up with what their clients need. I love working with HCA!

Assisted Home Health Care LLC

I had an amazing experience working with Assisted Home Health Care in getting services for my elderly grandmother. Their services are incredibly professional, and the staff is warm, welcoming, and makes residents feel comfortable right at home. I can't recommend their services enough for your loved ones! Truly the best services, and our family is eternally grateful!

Senior Home Health Care

This health care has cut picking up grocery's for clients this cut in service's is an extreme hardship for those confined to wheel chairs and no significant other to help. In the winter this loss of service is even more of a hardship. The policy change shoud not be forced on those in wheelchairs. Bad management.
the aide do a great job.

They pick the best, train the best, and reward nicely for the comment to seniors. It's all about the great care given to the clients. Love working for this company.

Great company to work for, great clients!! Definitely recommend

Training Camp Fitness

I've never been a fan of gyms in general, I'd rather do something active like cut the grass or vacuum the stairs and call it a work out, but I must admit this place is cool for a few reasons.

1. Super laid back vibe with plenty of one on one attention for those who are less knowledgeable about working out. I never feel out of place and I'm never expected to work above my ability or comfort level.

2. I also like that sign ups can be done online, at my own convenience and it's pay as I go. I can do 1 class one week, 3 the next and 0 the next, if I'm so inclined.

3. Work outs change monthly so I do not get bored or stagnant.

4. The owner is some quality eye candy and this helps to keep my mind off the pain of exercise! LOL!

Just a great place overall. Try it, you'll like it!

Great workout, Chris is an amazing enthusiastic trainer!

Pure Barre

If you're looking for an inclusive, positive gym with effective workouts, this is the place! The instructors and staff know everyone by name and really make an effort so that everyone gets the right workout for their body and abilities. Try it if you haven't, you won't regret it!

Pure Barre SLP is a welcoming and positive environment with a focus on community and celebrating everyone’s achievements! The community is incredible with teachers who know everyone’s name and make an effort to get to know people individually. If you are looking for a quick and challenging workout, pure barre is a great choice because of the variety and how it is set to fun playlists. So glad I found pure barre SLP not only for the workout but for the community that makes me feel welcome each time I am there.

Pure Barre - the only consistent movement I've stuck with for going on 4 years!!  I love everything about Pure Barre St. Louis Park - the staff, the workout, the friends I make every time I go!  This is the place for friendly faces and low impact/highly effective workouts!!

I LOVE Pure Barre SLP!! The moment you walk into the studio you are greeted with a friendly staff and the check in process is very easy and convenient! The studio is clean and has a fun atmosphere! The workout, whether Classic, Empower or Reform is EFFECTIVE!! I lost weight quickly after signing up as it's a FUN workout that I never get tired of doing! It's easy to stay committed, plus the community is unlike anything I've experienced at other studios or gyms! The instructors are all amazing, easy to follow, friendly and passionate. Give it a go- it's a wonderful workout!

I'm visiting from out of town and needed to get my Pure Barre in. This studio was amazing. I took Platform today and signed up for the awesome 3 classes for $33 new client special, so I will be coming back for PB the next two days. The owner was teaching and her energy was phenomenal. The clients were all so into the class too and working so hard, so the energy in the room was perfect. And the merchandise at the studio was amazing with some really great deals. Even if you don't do Pure Barre you should check this place out for barre/yoga clothes!

LA Fitness

Good: Convenient location. Friendly staff. I just come in to do my workout and leave, so it's perfect for that. It's not the worst place and not the best. Lots of equipment to use and they have a rower, so I'm pleased. Seems people pick up after themselves in the workout area. Can't say the same for the bathrooms. 3 day pass is a good tool.

Bad: Scheduled for service is frequently on many of the treadmills. I've had some cut out mid run on me. Luckily, I take it pretty easy, but they need a serious update. The row machines need some tweaks too. It gets crowded around the peak times (as expected). I've had to adjust my workouts because there's no space or the equipment is unavailable. I haven't worked out in winter so I'll update if the crowding gets worse.

This is a very convenient location. There are lots of machines available for use and free weights. I enjoy the pool and the hot tub. I also have a personal trainer here, who is very good. Also, the owner, Brian, is really nice. My experiences here have been great!

On my list of “do not go” because the sauna is at 150 in the middle of the day despite being turned up all the way. Never coming back to this one, this is a common theme across la fitness clubs and the only one at 180 as advertised is near Burnsville.

I worked out at this LA fitness to stay in shape for high school sports and got my membership back in 2016 right when I hit the age minimum. The personal trainers practically begged me to take advantage of my 1 free personal training session (I had no interest), and being 16, I eventually obliged. A grown adult male personal trainer worked me (a 16 year old girl) so hard I vomited and then proceeded to make me sit through a marketing spiel about how I should sign up for more sessions. Gross and predatory behavior. I never went back. Sincerely hope things have changed since then.

This is a convenient location for me, but most of the time I go out of my way to the Edina location. The equipment at SLP is dated, often dysfunctional, and sometimes dangerous. The treadmills are not evenly weighted on the floor, so they wobble. I’ve had two separate occasions where a treadmill cuts out on me in the middle of a run. Both times, I felt very lucky that I didn’t hurt my knee. I reported it to the staff both times. They put signs on the treadmills saying that they are “scheduled for service” (there are currently several of these signs on treadmills) yet it keeps happening. The staff is friendly and the place is relatively clean, I just don’t think that the equipment is consistently safe in its current state. Be careful.

Visiting Angels

I have the best caregiver, Brittany Porter, whom has made my life much better as she makes it her mission to find out my needs and she considers how my needs and efforts affect my family and she fills in the gaps with a pure heart.  Also she is like so efficient, multi-spatial, like a ninja that can leap over obstacles she can leap into all circumstances and be a help to me and it helps my family too.  Brittany adjusts to my energy, sometimes she knows just what I need before I do, and I'm not afraid to ask her for help in any way.  From basic necessities to her going above and beyond and she aims for things to work so when she leaves life is better!! The small and big pictures, her laughs, her giving nature, her personality shines along with her heart.  As we all wish for a helping hand I hope to have her for a very long time. Thank you Visiting Angels for Brittany!!

I am wanting to share my sincere appreciation and gratitude for my mom's Visiting Angels caregiver.
She has been with my mom since September 8, 2023. During the past 8 weeks/2month time period since she has started care giving with my mom, she has helped my mom with so many things. She makes sure my mom eats very good meals each day, as well as, makes sure my mom stays hydrated with fluids throughout her visits. They take walks together, read and discuss articles/events happening in the world via the Star Tribune newspaper, enjoy wonderful conversation and just being together. The caregiver is very helpful to me, too, as she will inform me of what groceries, items my mom may need replenished weekly. She also helps my mom with various tasks around the house, if/when needed. The caregiver informs me if anything is out of sorts with my mom while visiting and also sends me a very detailed caretaker notes report each and everyday, after her shift ends.  This is so helpful for me to know how the afternoons go for the two of them and to read what my mom ate/drank throughout the time the caregiver is with her.  If ever I have anything I would like the caregiver to do for my mom or me, while there, she is always willing and does so. She goes out of her way to make sure things with my mom run smoothly and that she is well taken care of each and every day. The caregiver is also very flexible if I need/“ask her if her schedule can change at times. My mom feels very comfortable with her caregiver, as do I. I couldn’t have asked for a more loving, caring, compassionate caregiver and am so thankful the caregiver was placed with my mom. Thank you to Lindsy for making a great placement and to Visiting Angels for the wonderful help that they provide families.

I want to especially thank her caregiver for the care, time, love and compassion  she provides my mom, and me, as well,  each day she is present. Thank you!

Visiting Angels have been such a positive experience for my Mom the past couple of years! All Mom's caregivers have been wonderful, but we'd like to recognize Alvivian Pearson specifically. She has been with Mom the longest and is always pleasant, reliable, helpful, and takes care of everything that needs doing. We just love her! Appreciate her kindness and communication always!

The whole experience was a positive from start to end!  Intake discussion with Lindsy was informative and transparent (no surprises regarding logistics, responsibilities and billing).  In-home care with Brittany was a joy.  She is a great listener, friendly, attentive, and has a kind heart.  We will miss her.

I would love to share our thoughts and gratitude to all for our wonderful caregiver Ivy Anderson from Visiting Angels. She’s been with us over a year now and is truly a blessing to my mother. My mother is in the later stages of Alzheimer’s dementia and can’t perform any tasks for herself so Ivy’s presence is always welcome.She is always here on time and ready for whatever the day brings, as soon as she says good morning mom greets her with a smile which warms everyone’s hearts. Thank you Ivy for all your hard work and dedication.🙏
