Yoga Factory & Fitness Fort Lauderdale - Hot Yoga Studio

I found this little gem of a studio in Fort Lauderdale and I am happy I did! The staff is friendly and kind. The instructors care about the students in their classes. I am especially a fan of the PIT classes. I leave there with a huge sweat feeling accomplished. I met Lori, the owner, who is always looking for ways to make YF a place people can’t wait to go! Highly recommend!

I love coming to the Deep Warm Stretch every Tuesday! Nya is the best instructor and she makes the days’ stress melt away. I would 1000% recommend this class! The staff is absolutely amazing as well from my first class to even now they are beyond welcoming!

I love this place but I’m giving them four stars because they seem to have a constant rotation of teachers and I can’t find any that compare to Molly who is no longer there on my favorite Monday night 8pm class. I would say Amy and Judy were my other go-to’s when Molly isn’t there, but unfortunately it seems like I have difficulty catching their classes as well due to my schedule. Amy and Judy are great instructors and have an amazing flow but Molly has everything I look for in an instructor. She’s kind, energetic, motivational, and really helps you through the poses doing only what your body will allow you to do. Her music choice is my absolute favorite. I enjoy the big warehouse space and I love the infrared lights, however, I don’t think I’d be coming here anymore without Molly!!

My favorite studio in all of Fort Lauderdale. This place is feels like family. They offer amazing yoga classes plus other classes that feature weights which makes my membership worth so much more. Love it here! Highly recommend ❤️

I went to this studio less than a hand full of times because one of my favorite instructors taught there and was leading my teacher training. I have been to many studios in the Fort Lauderdale area as either a transient CLASSPASSER (as the owner of this account has so endearingly named some of the students leaving reviews) or as a full member of a studio. One of the last times I stepped foot in this studio, I had the pleasure of being invited to audition by that instructor. While sharing my love of yoga with others and leading a flow is something I enjoy, my life was not hinging on instructing in a studio. Midway through my audition, the owner of the studio cut me off, completely throwing me off then proceeded to tell me in the lobby that I was so boring she could slit her wrists. I never thought it was possible for someone to speak to a stranger that way in a yoga studio but here we are. After losing my dad traumatically and going through a rigorous teacher training, I knew what kind of energy yoga is supposed to embody, and that was not it. Running a business is tough and no small yoga business in South Florida is perfect, but kindness and compassion are always free. I read some of the responses by the owner of this google account, and it is very clear how this studio feels about classpassers who are either utilizing classpass as they are not local and would still like to enjoy the benefits of yoga away from home, or they simply cannot afford the exclusive and costly membership. The responses also validate for me that this studio is not lead by the type of loving energy that is needed to create community and permanence desired by yogis when joining a studio, nor are they open to feedback to improve or even offer what many other studios do. Hope this helps! EDIT: to the owner's response. I can't even remember how many times I went to this studio, perhaps it was only once for class but many other times for various reasons (final TT class with Molly was hosted in the loft upstairs, then for the audition). To be more precise, I did Molly's teacher training which wasn't being offered by Yoga Factory at the time. I will never return foot here because of how I was treated and how it seems the owner of the studio treats many others. To gaslight me and say my experience wasn't real is just another example of how awful the owner is. If you don't believe that I am truthful, look at how they have responded to my review and every other negative review on Google.
