After experiencing a year with some terrible shoulder injuries, I knew I had to do something to maintain and further improve my range of motion. I was HOOKED after my first Original Hot Yoga class at Blaze. Since going there, my range of motion has improved substantially as has my strength and coordination. Every class I've been to has been challenging, supportive, and super fun. I can't recommend this place enough. I highly recommend the Original Hot Yoga class, Vinyasa class, and for range of motion maintenance, Kinstretch. Try the weights class if you really want to push yourself. Do yourself a favor, and go get sweaty!

I found Blaze 5 years ago when I was moving from Nashville and knew I’d miss my hot 26. I found so much more than that. They have a huge variety of classes and instructors are amazing! There are a lot of choices in Portsmouth, but what sets Blaze apart for me is the culture. The vibe is so uplifting. You can feel they truly care about the whole person.

Finding a fitness routine that works for me had always been a challenge. Andie, Blaze manager and instructor, made me feel welcome from the moment I walked through the door. The community vibe is also strong as everyone is friendly and supportive of each other. Hot yoga, weights, and HIIT classes are my favorite, and every instructor brings their own unique style and energy to every class—keeping you motivated to give everything you’ve got. Incredibly thankful for the Blaze Team and to have found a path to a happier, healthier life.

Over the past few years, I had accumulated several overuse injuries/tendonitis at my previous gym and thought I might try a yoga class or two just to see what it is all about. I took a class at Blaze on a whim about six weeks ago assuming it would confirm for me that yoga is not my thing. And...I never went back to my old gym. After the first 15 minutes of that first Inferno Flow class, I was hooked. The class variety is amazing, so there is a class for everyone. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. Joining Blaze is one of the best things I've done for myself and my fitness goals.

I love going to Blaze and I do almost every day. The beats, the fun lighting, the hot room, and the whole studio is very welcoming, clean and spacious. Jenna is my favourite teacher, I love her guidance, dynamic power flow routines, and the playlists! :) I also enjoy the Original Hot Yoga classes as well, Sarah is wonderful. I'm so glad that I get to practice here almost every day, getting into shape after having 2 kids in a row, with two months in I can already see results. Thank you Blaze!

I've done hot yoga before but BLAZE? THIS PLACE BRINGS OUT THE FIRE in you. The instructors know their stuff, everyone beside you in class is encouraging and you leave SWEATING WITH VICTORY. I have only been there 1 month but the differences in my flexibility and stamina are noticeable. If you're looking for that next level in fitness - go. If you're just starting out and you're nervous - go. Nobody is judging you. IT'S YOU VS. YOURSELF, and you'll be amazed to find that you're stronger than you think you are. See you on the mat!

I am new to this studio and can't get enough of it! I've tried most of the classes from most of the instructors and have a hard time deciding which are my favorite. I love the variety of classes and class times. I leave every class feeling like I got even more than I expected out of it!

I absolutely LOVE this studio!! The heated classes are my fave, but every instructor has a unique gift or nugget to offer. So much knowledge and love and care are present in class…I was honestly blown away by how much each individual instructor knows about what they’re offering and how lovingly that expertise is offered. Great to have a shower after a sweaty session, and be on my way! Blaze is the bomb!!

I am so happy to be back at Blaze and a part of such an awesome community. The team is amazing, they share so much knowledge and body positive messaging; it always makes me feel included and motivated. I missed the workouts and have loved trying some new classes in recent weeks. Thanks for all you do Team Blaze!

I have been coming to Blaze for quite a few years on/off though in the last 2 years with consistency, always saying I should be this, should be that. Blaze has given me the opportunity to be part of my body, learning, accepting its needs and challenges. While on the trail through mental and physical challenges, its Yoga I come back to, its technique and strategies. I utilize stretching, breathing practice while bringing in confidence and strength to keep going. Focus, commitment, strength, and loving myself has been empowered by the compassionate, honest and selfless professionals at Blaze Yoga. Come change your mind, body and life one day at a time.

Blaze previously stood for tolerance, questioning the "status-quo," open-mindedness, freedom of movement & positive energy. It is now the exact opposite of this. They've turned into materialistic (refused to refund me close to $200), intolerant of opposing views (& unwilling to discuss them), Big Pharma & Big Government-loving, negative energy & discriminatory place. There is no more "express yourself!!" or love of individuality. If you don't fall in line, get injected, cover your face, get tested every week...then you're not welcome there. I'm so disappointed in this once-strong & unique place. What happened to My Body, My Choice? What happened to questioning authority? Blaze used to be edgy, smart & fun. Now it's a stifling regurgitation of unscientific & moronic rules which are lining the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies. So sad.9/24/21Interesting how Blaze responds to honest feedback.This was not a settled conversation - they ignored my last 2 attempts at communication, their 1st statement is a lie.Instead of addressing the issue on a professional level they chose to make assumptions about my race, life experiences & current feelings. None of which they know anything about.Unfortunately it's indicative of what they've become.
