I tried out Root because I live nearby, and was lured by the $50 unlimited first month trial membership. And then, I quickly fell in love with this place. The instructors are all really wonderful, there's a great variety of classes, and the staff and surroundings are warm and comfortable. (It's so nice there, swanky yet unintimidating.) There's a nice variety of clients, too... old folks and youngsters. I bought a year membership, which was a big investment, but I am glad I did so. I always feel great during and after my visit to Root.
Pros: instruction, nice facility, showers and sauna
Cons: pricey, no midday classes
