I discovered MonQI in May, 2004 when it had been open about a month. I walked by its sign on the sidewalk and visited it a few days later. At that time, they occupied two floors of the building, but the end of 2006, they added a third floor. Having never taken any sort of classes before, I decided to try a few classes and was hooked. My favorite class (of many I take) is Shwee Chou's ""Pilates Plus"" on Saturday mornings at 10:30. She is very knowledgeable and caring with a good sense of humor. The class members range from beginner to intermediate and she is patient with those who are just starting. I go to her for private one hour session once a week. After three years, I feel better than ever, and though I am naturally skinny, have kept toned, trim, and comfortable. Every few weeks, I go to Tom, a trained chiropractor who ""aligns"" me, as I am a bit off-center - though just about everyone is. I have sent a friend to Tom who has totally transformed him. The entire staff is wonderful, and the owner, Lyn Liao has a darling dachshund (Pinot) who is very friendly too. Cannot recommend this place enough - you will leave smiling.
Pros: Small classes, expert staff, clean areas, great personal trainers, sunny location
Cons: Can't think of any
