Best Gyms with Free Parking near Kennett-square, Pennsylvania

This studio is such a sanctuary with classes for everyone. I start to relax the moment I walk in the door; the smell of the incense, beautiful surroundings, smiles and Cara greeting me by name. I’m enjoying more slow flow and yin right now. Cara’s Yin with Reiki and her Yin workshops are so good. She incorporates music, chanting with yin to feed your mind and body. So grateful for this place and the teachers.

I love this studio. They have two rooms for hot and regular yoga. You can enjoy any type of class you wish with all types of super instructors. I have my 200 level teacher training and love this studio not only for the yoga but they did a great job with the layout of the studio... very comfortable and stylish. Not to mention a great community! I have been going to the studio consistently for 5 years.

Yoga Secrets is an amazing yoga studio. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly , trained and vested in insuring every student grows. What’s awesome about Yoga Secrets is they have classes for everyone. Don’t like heat they have classes for that . Love heated yoga they have classes for that also. There are yoga classes for all levels from beginner to life long yogi. The studio is clean and they play awesome music ! And lastly, Yoga secrets is very affordable. I highly recommend this yoga studio !

Yoga Secrets offers a range of classes in a beautiful space tucked in a corner of Kennett Square. I feel fortunate to have started my yoga journey here with Lexa - she is one of the best yoga teachers out there! She is so encouraging, knowledgeable, and mindful of her students. She incorporates the wisdom of Ayurveda and the deeper roots of yoga in each class. This is the place to be if you truly want to be present in your body, move mindfully, and find a deeper inner connection with yourself.

Beautiful yoga studio with wonderful instructors and mindful practices. There is something for everyone, each instructor brings a different style, and I love the variety to choose from depending on how I am feeling. They care about your well-being, and the owners Elizabeth & Lexa are experts in their yoga practice and offer many ways to pass on their knowledge through special workshops and classes. So glad I have this place to go to, I leave feeling refreshed every time!

Anchor has been an amazing experience for me. I’ll start out by saying I don’t like working out, I’m lazy. I had a Y membership for 4 years and never went. I signed up for Anchor and I go 5 days a week now. The app program is a great system for lazy folk like myself, because I can’t not show up for a class I signed up for cause the instructor will know and I’m likely keeping someone else from the class. I love all the instructors; their eyes are on each person making sure everyone is doing the workouts properly and pushing you to finish/go up in weight (they do this mildly and nicely)! I feel so much better each morning after my workout, my posture is noticeably better and I’m stronger. I love the yoga classes for my joints. It’s a real community; everyone (trainers and members) is really nice and supporting. I highly recommend checking Anchor out.

My son Connor has been working out with Jake and Dom at Anchor fitness for the past two years. The sports performance classes have been the best fit for him. Small classes with instructors who truly care about the athletes. He looks forward to going every afternoon! His strength and fitness level have made huge strides and he is seeing all the off season hard work pay off on the baseball field this spring. Not only are they getting a good workout but the instructors are teaching them the about their muscles and how the exercises will help them.

I used to dread bringing our trash cans up our steep driveway. I would be winded and reminded of how out of shape I was. Now, thanks to Anchor, I actually look forward to this weekly task because it reminds me of how strong I've become. I look forward to getting up and heading to Anchor at 6 a.m. every morning. The community is wholesome, and the coaches each bring their own unique style. They help you safely and effectively understand how to lift weights. Even after a year, I still have questions about my form, and the coaches are always there, equipped with the knowledge to ensure that what I'm doing is best for my body. Anchor has given me the tools to transform my life—I now have the energy I was searching for to keep up with my two little boys. Over the summer, I was walking off the beach with my 3-year-old. I had a chair on my back, a cooler over one arm, a bag of sand toys over the other, and another chair. When my son started crying because his feet were burning from the hot afternoon sand, I was able to lift him up, despite already carrying all that weight, and carry him off the beach. It was a moment I’ll never forget, and it truly wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t joined Anchor. Recently, I received some bloodwork results showing my biological age is 9.8 years younger than my calendar age. After turning 40 this year, seeing that I’m biologically 30 is pretty cool. I can’t help but think that focusing on my skeletal muscle and the ripple effect it has on the rest of my body played a part in that result.

I think everyone dreads surgery and the long recovery that often follows. I have to share how thrilled I am that Anchor was there for me when I was able to start exercising again after my bilateral mastectomy this past July. Who would have thought a gym I joined in 2017 would literally be saving my physical and mental health years later! It was only recommended by the surgeon that I walk for exercise the first 4 weeks post op (which I did, with some planks and elevated pushups thrown in, as I usually push myself a bit). I returned to Anchor 4 weeks to the day after surgery and started a program tailored to what I needed for strength and mobility recovery. After that first week my mobility was nearly 100%. I am now almost 8 weeks post op and have about 90% of my upper body strength back. Not too shabby for a 65 year old woman. I can confidently say that I would never have been able to return so quickly to pre surgery levels if it were not for the dedication and genuine caring of all of the yoga and fitness coaches at Anchor Life and Fitness

I've been a member of Anchor for almost three years. I had always been a big cardio guy (cycling, etc), and while I still enjoy those activities, Anchor has made me realize that strength, flexibility, and yoga are just, if not more, important for overall health and wellness. The trainers have been wonderful at providing targeted actions to improve my flexibility and lessen my back pain and offer alternatives and form adjustments during our workouts to place less strain on my back. Anchor's small classes are enjoyable and varied, making going to the gym far less of a chore. The results have been increased muscle mass, increased strength, improved flexibility, and a broader understanding of overall health. More recently, I've been having weekly check-ins and working with one of the trainers, Dom. These more focused feedback sessions have again elevated the service and results I'm seeing. Dom has helped dial in my nutrition, workouts, and lifestyle choices to better achieve my health and fitness goals. The weekly check-in keeps you honest and accountable, while also providing helpful tips and tricks to reach your goals. I'm confident that this extra attention to detail and feedback will continue to help me focus more attention on my goals as I reach the half-century mark.
