I've been going to Nafas for almost 5 months now. I love the Barre classes. It amazes me the workout you can get with zero impact. I can see muscle definition like never before in my legs, it's crazy. The yoga classes are great. I really enjoy the Yin class, it's my hour of mental health each week. My friend got me started on Yoga Basics. It's not necessarily an easy class but rather focuses on the right posture. As someone whose journey to Yoga started at bigger gyms this is really important to me. They take the time to explain the proper positions and if you are off they will

I should start this review by stating I greatly dislike pretty much every exercise studio or gym where I have attempted to exercise. Typically, the other people are rude and make me feel self conscious. But I tried a Zumba class here and learned that exercise doesn't have to be humiliating! I loved the class. The instructor was great! Everyone who was in the class focused on themselves and was varied as far as size and athletic ability. I am so thankful to have found Nafas and can't wait to make this a part of my fitness routine!

Loving it so far! I love the variation of classes to choose from. Instructors are nice and motivating. I have attended Zumba and Tighten and Tone so far.
One thing I noticed though is that the floor where the Zumba is held is sticky. :(
I wear an appropriate dance workout/ dance shoes where it’s easy to pivot but even that is very hard to do because the floor is sticky. It’s probably because it’s the same floor where major/sweaty workout classes are held. (I’m one of them now) :)
This suggestion is all with love! I’ll keep coming nevertheless because I think the place is awesome!

I was so thrilled to have found Nafas a few years ago when I moved to RO. I did not like going to traditional gyms and crowded zumba classes in my previous gym membership life. Janel, the owner of Nafas ,goes above and beyond to make you and all members feel comfortable and like family. They recently opened a new yoga studio in the back which is worth checking out since they have all different levels of yoga ( included in an inclusive membership package with fitness classes). Nafas is more than just a great workout studio its a non- judgmental place where all levels of fitness are welcomed. I enjoy

If I could give this place a thousand stars I would!!!!!! Janelle is amazing! Everyone is soooooo welcoming and friendly the environment is so warm. I've been working out for 5+ years now but Janelle literally kicked my butt in class. After that intense class we did some Yin Yoga , it was such a great experience so peaceful. Everything is provided for you. I can't wait till next week's class!

Holy son of a BEAVER. Let's just say I will be paying for today's barre (is that even how it's spelled??) tomorrow.
As "Get-in-Shape-you-are-turning-4.0.!!!" is underway, I have made a number of changes. Eat right. Check. Don't smoke/drink/have fun. Check. Exercise. Errrr... Okay that was the one area lacking in my life. And if you've read through my stuff, the eating and drinking part was a BIG shift. Exercise was bigger.
So today I went to Nafas. Totally not prepared - I didn't know what Barre even was. FYI, lots of leg stuff and band work, kind of like

A wonderful fitness studio that now offers yoga classes as well. The owner is so sweet and also teaches a lot of classes. All of the instructors are very professional, kind, and walk around to make sure you are doing everything correctly to not hurt yourself.
They offer a bunch of classes: Barre, Zumba, all kinds of yoga, and other general fitness classes that follow a theme.
Highly recommend, have been a member for 3 years 💪

I came here for the adult tap classes and quickly got hooked on ALL their classes -- including barre, hooping, yoga, pound (a drumstick workout) and the best Zumba around by far. Classes range from $12 individual to a bargain $49 a month unlimited, and several are offered daily. The studio has a positive vibe and the instructors are energetic and friendly. It's also really down to earth --I'm not part of the "Lululemon crowd" and have often felt uncomfortable in other studios, but here I've felt welcome and working out is actually fun.

I am so happy to have discovered a gem like Nafas! Every class and instructor here is fantastic, and I really look forward to working out and feeling healthy. The atmosphere is friendly and judgment-free, what matters is that you have fun!! The instructors will help you modify to accommodate your needs to make sure you're getting the most out of the class to the best of your abilities. I'd list my favorite classes but you may as well just look at their website because I'd just be listing off all of them! They're also expanding to add on a suite just for yoga, so there are more amazing things to

This is by far the best fitness place I have ever been to! They have the best classes and you feel so comfortable while you are there. Janel and Katherine are so helpful, especially if you're not sure of what to do. They actually tell you from the get go "have fun" and "keep moving". I've been a member of other fitness facilities and this one is my favorite! I feel so great and energize after each class. The prices are great and there is nothing more a person can ask for because they know how to make you break a sweat!

I work out regularly at least 4 to 5 times a week. Out of curiosity, I decided to give Nafas Fitness in Royal Oak a try.
After attended 3 classes there, I determine this is NOT a place for me.
Let's start with what I like about this place first. The price is right, $69 for one month unlimited classes. You can't beat that. They offer varieties of different classes Monday through Sunday from 6:00AM to as late as 8:00PM. Scheduling and paying for a class is easy and convenient through mindbodyonline.com or download the App on your phone. You can also pay $12 for a single drop-in class

I started going here in July after a friend recommended the Zumba classes. Zumba is offered many days including the weekends, I never thought I would try almost all the classes from tap dancing to hula hoop. Everyone is friendly here and its a very nice studio. It is small, but has room for everything and a separate room for 2 classes sometimes. Its ideal for people trying out yoga since they provide mats for you, unlike some of the local yoga studios. All the instructors are so friendly and the people who frequent the studio are very positive. I will continue to refer people to this studio

As someone new in town, I am tickled to have found this place: Nafas is a friendly, peaceful, non-judgmental oasis. Diverse workouts are the unique advantage at Nafas- where else can you find "Hula Hoop Fitness", tap, yoga, and barre classes? They truly welcome people of any fitness level. During a recent class, I saw all ages/shapes getting a thorough workout... at a pace appropriate for each. The instructor offered several modifications for each segment and encouraged students to do what felt best.
The pricing is among the most affordable in the area, with different options

This is an AWESOME fitness studio. Not only do they offer a dozen different classes, but I have not yet found another fitness studio that can beat their prices. Nafas blows everyone out of the water.
To supplement my regular gym near home, I started working out here. After 2 knee surgeries and fresh out of physical therapy for a low back issue, I have found that Nafas offers classes that can help strengthen my body in all the right places and I am not pressured to do more than I can handle. I was at a previous studio that pushed me to the point of landing myself in physical therapy. Just because

I HATE "working out", like really hate it. But I LOVE Nafas!! I came across Nafas when looking for a place for pilates, having only limited knowledge of it, I had been turned away from other places for their group classes ~ all insisting I must purchase a ridiculously priced package of private lessons first. Well, I didn't want private lessons I just wanted to go do some pilates after work. I called Nafas and asked if their policy was the same, Janel (owner/instructor) answered and laughed when I asked ~ 'of course not' she said!
I will be honest, if you're looking

Hands down the best place in Royal Oak to take fitness classes. Not only is it affordable but the instructors are fun, energetic and full of energy. Janel the owner will have you hooked on Nafas after one Booty Bunz class. Which let me tell you.....has my booty looking pretty great these days.
I have recommended Nafas to more than a handful of friends and ALL of them have nothing but great things to say. If you want to try something fun and different..... along with get a KILLER workout in then you should take a class at Nafas.

I don't know if I have enough good things to say about Nafas.
When moved back to Michigan from the East Coast, I was extremely disappointed by my options for dance fitness classes in the Detroit area. Few places had a decent selection of classes and not at convenient times. I went to the gym instead, but I wasn't happy about it.
I sort of stumbled upon this place. I did a drop-in class before I committed to anything and it was EXACTLY what I have been looking for! The instructors are great, they have standards (Zumba, hip hop, etc.), plus some different options (80s dance? Amazing
