Dorothy taught us as humans that "there is no place like home", highlighting love, peace, and comfort of one's own world.Similarly, there is no yoga environment in NJ that exists like The Movement.A place that produces and showcases unparalleled experiences, instructors, and vibes.I am very grateful to have found a place that checks off all the boxes -- this place becomes a sanctuary for each visitor who chooses to practice here!

The Movement is a wonderful, magical place with alchemical vibes. Your workout will be more than a workout, it will be a transformative experience. Their teacher trainings encourage you to find your own style and give you exactly what you need. The owner, Chrissy, puts a lot of thought into the studio and instructors and it shows in the classes, the design, the plants, and the people. There is also a variety of classes to keep you engaged and consistent. The gift/plant store has all kinds of goodies to treat yourself after a great workout!

The Movement is wonderful! The studio has a warm, relaxed and inviting feel. The classes are terrific! I'm new to Yoga and Pilates. Chrissy and her staff guide me through each movement with detailed instructions and positive energy! Thank you!!!

Thank you for your lovely studio. It really is great. The variety of offerings is unmatched anywhere I've practiced, and everyone is so supportive and kind! In my one-month, new-student trial period, I had 5 teachers in 6 different classes, plus a sauna. I went out of my comfort zone a few times and found it was all good.

Obsessed with The Movement! My partner and I were looking for a yoga studio in NJ and we happen to find this hidden gem right in our backyard. Since day one we have been impressed with the studio and all the diverse classes they have to offer. We are now there probably 5 times a week supplement to our gym routine. In addition to a zen atmosphere what we love most about The Movement has to be the instructors (the owner even teaches a few classes). Chrissy, Heather, Francesca, and Eric to name a few all have been amazing they are true instructors and coaches. Starting our mornings and ending our work days at The Movement are our new ritual. Thank you Chris and Chrissy for being amazing owners and sharing this experience with us here in NJ!

I’ve been to plenty of gyms and workout classes. NOTHING COMPARES! I’ve been coming for about 3 weeks now and I love it here. All the instructors are so nice and welcoming. The environment alone makes you want to come back. Very relaxed feeling which is great while working out. There’s also a coffee shop below the studio to grab a coffee after your workout, win win!

The classes are rather non-engaging. I had gone twice, and the instructors did not greet me. It felt like I was taking a YouTube class. I also did not feel incredibly challenged - there were no major modifications suggested, and corrections weren't given frequently.The cycling class format was also a bit odd. It was much easier than other cycling classes or even Peloton recordings. The room has a small TV that plays an outdoor video as you cycle and has maybe 5 bikes, but you're essentially just biking at leisure for the 30 minute session.At either rate, both times I went I came and left dissatisfied. I wasn't greeted or asked my name, there was no one present at the front desk when I arrived the first time and was lost, and nobody noticed me there or asked how either of my classes were. This wasn't the boutique experience or challenge I was hoping for. I plan to just use my trial month without extending, if I do return.

I cannot say enough great things about The Movement! Chrissy and the rest of the staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable. I have truly found my “me” time through the movement fam. The atmosphere is so welcoming and peaceful. The classes are so versatile and available virtually or through recordings for a later time. If you are looking for something to be part of I highly recommend joining the studio :)

I did a drop in studio session for Breathe In Yoga and for my first time doing Yoga, this place was top notch!! The environment felt very comfortable and relaxing, the instructor ( I believe her name was Lindsay) was phenomenal as she guided easily and briefly talked to me before the class about how it works and made it very smooth to follow. This place offers so much more as far as sessions in spin studios, Pilates and even a sauna machine! The vibe here felt extremely welcoming and very at ease. The end of the yoga session was followed up by a nice meditative lay down with relaxing music which ultimately allowed me to reflect and shed a tear ;') .... if you want to give Yoga a chance, I recommend coming to this place for its relaxed environment with experience instructors!

Just went for my first class and excited to be a member of this studio. Great open space with lots of greenery and good vibes. The class itself was great. Awesome poses and a supportive and descriptive teacher. Coming from nyc this kind of space was exactly what I've been hoping for so I really hope I continue to enjoy it!

This studio is really one of a kind - the atmosphere is full of life (lots of plants!) and relaxing. The instructors are welcoming and genuine, which has allowed me to feel comfortable going outside of my comfort zone in taking classes I've never tried before. They offer fun and unique events as well!

Mixed feelings about this place. The owners and teachers are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I love how many types of classes they offer - plus they are offered several times throughout every day. My issue with this place is how expensive it is compared to other studios which offer much better classes. I'm a long time yogi and every other independent studio I've been a member of has offered hour/hour and half long classes for half the price of The Movement. The classes here are usually 45 minutes and it costs $20 for drop-in which is completely uncalled for. Memberships obviously save you some money but again, the rates are much higher than average for sub-par classes here. I feel like this adds an air of elitism and makes it inaccessible to the larger community in a space that intends to be community-driven.

I joined The Movement before it even opened. Great impulse decision. What Chrissy, the owner, has created is nothing short of magical: A welcoming work-out environment that makes folks of all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities feel comfortable. When Chrissy says, “We want you well,” she means it. Even through the pandemic, she continued to expand classes and services to meet the needs of the community. We are incredibly lucky that she chose Allentown as the home for her studio. Its location in the Old Mill building, above the adorable vegan coffee shop, The Moth, is just an added bonus. I tried yoga at every decade of my life. But it wasn’t until I joined The Movement that it really resonated with me. I have a monthly pass which gives me the ability to try new classes without the risk of feeling like I’m “wasting” money. By exploring ALL of the offerings in the schedule, I’ve discovered some new interests…who knew I would enjoy barre class? And, this summer I decided to enroll in the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training offered through Chrissy. Something unimaginable 3 years ago! I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that The Movement has changed my life.
