Great studio with lots of classes and options for people of any fitness level. Best place to get a great workout in the triangle IMO. Friendly staff and nice facility. Highly recommend.

The staff is friendly, the space is clean and the classes are always on time. Although I would like a little more variety when it comes to music and poses.

The versatility of the classes offered is what I really like about Arrichion. I have attended Mystery Stone and Warrior so far - both very challenging but modifications are simple to make as needed. Everyone there is very friendly! This is a great place to condition your body and focus your mind. I look forward to trying more of their classes. Highly recommended!

Arrichion is for anyone who wants to push themselves -- physically, but probably even more so, mentally. I feel like I have a personal coach every time I come to a class. I love seeing all of my co-worker-outers. This place is a second home to me.

I absolutely love this studio. The instructors are so friendly and all the classes offered provide a great workout. No matter what your level is they have something for you. The times classes are scheduled works great for my work schedule as well, which is awesome.

Friendly welcoming staff. I have injuries so needed to modify my practice a lot and the instructors and environment was super comfortable to do that. Classes were challenging but there was no pressure or attitude at all. Totally the kind of place its ok to do class even if your injured or dont have matching yoga clothes. Easy parking and convenient drop in classes too. Loved it.

Ive always had AMAZING experiences at Arrichion with top-notch instructors. I still remember the excitement of approaching the facility on a crisp evening, and the exhausted but relaxed and limber feeling at the end of a class. The instructors seemed invested in me as a student to do my best, pushing me to my limit and congratulating me on my progress. Compared to other hot yoga places I think they do a good job of keeping the facilities clean. Not sure what all the hate is about for the prices..you should remember to bring water and a towel because of how much you will sweat.Perfect for beginners and seasoned hot yoga practitioners!

My daughter did the “ 20 for $20” and fell in love with hot yoga. I joined on Monday and feel very welcome as a beginner and am learning a lot!

First off Hot yoga is so Awesome !! This studio is even better. Im very new to the yoga scene but this place made me feel like I fit in . They offer a variety of classes with unique names . The Diamond class is held in the dark with LED lighting, music and limited instruction. I love this class beginners are able to follow along well. Classes are available 7 days a week which is perfect for everyone. I found this place on Groupon , but will be purchasing a full membership its worth it!!!

Like most of us, we join a fitness place, go a short time and quit. This is one place I have been here the longest. I joined 6 years ago so to deal with my injuries and I got more than that. The community is just wonderful. You never a bunch of the friendliest people and every coach in there is there to encourage you and boy, do i need encouragement and push my limits. Through the years, new classes have been added, new or changed format to classes. It is more than a yoga studio. Its a circuit classes, weight class, bootcamp class, some of those yoga classes are intense. You will never get bored. I love everything about Arrichion and I am so glad I found them.

I really love it here. I think the biggest draw for me is how SUPER NICE and welcoming everyone is. Im not a fantastically bendy person, but all the instructors are really sweet and helpful. They also have a great class schedule (I can come early in the morning, grab a quick shower and get to work on time) and challenging-for-me classes that are 45 minutes long -- the perfect length for me.

For years, I would have the reputation of joining a gym, but only go for about a month and get bored and eventually cancel my membership. Not the case at Arrichion, I went a couple of times and was immediately hooked. The variety that is offered throughout the week, keeps me interested and the sense of community there is great. I went on vacation and missed it so much! Working out is something I look forward to daily now. Oh and the transformation Ive seen already in just 3 months is amazing! Thanks, Arrichion!!

When a friend suggested that I try hot yoga at Arrichion, I was very skeptical. I had tried yoga once and thought it was okay but nothing special. Practicing yoga in a hot room sounded terrible. However, I LOVED IT!!! The instructors are incredibly encouraging, which is important if you are like me (clumsy, never been athletic, and as flexible as dried spaghetti). The heat is relaxing not overwhelming. I have gone to Arrichion at least four times a week for the three months. My tummy is now much flatter, and thighs are super firm. Also for the first time since I was 7, I can touch my toes! I highly recommend this place.

I liked Arrichion a lot! The yoga classes. The only issues I had were having unwarranted charges to my bank account and some of the attitudes of the instructors. The classes though, I love. Very different and unique.

This studio meets all of my fitness needs with a fantastic community of instructors and members that are very encouraging and fun to be with.The system they have designed offers a variety of classes from hot yoga to circuit training and Pilates, to address strength training as well as flexibility. Great for athletes as well as beginners.The instructors are professional, and know how to challenge the professional athlete as well as support the beginner. These classes, are HOT and aggressive, but accessible to all, as you build endurance, strength, and a tolerance for the heat. Understanding which classes do what can seem a bit confusing at first, but Ive come to understand and see the physical benefits I get from each of the individual classes, when used as a system together.I found Arrichion through a Groupon when I moved to the Triangle, and after trying studio after studio, I was immediately hooked and never left. Their approach is so different from any other yoga experience in the area. Ive been a member for over three years, and I still feel challenged every day, in every class, with every instructor. I am a certified yoga teacher with a degree in dance performance and an extensive background in running. Im over 40 now, and can honestly say, that Im probably in the best shape of my life as a result of training with these guys.

Arrichion is always challenging. I often go to the 6:15 classes on Thursday morning and am always welcomed with a gentle smile as I check in. The instructors do a fantastic job of teaching consistently and of managing a really challenging role...teaching a crazy early hot yoga class while also managing check-ins and check-outs. Ive always felt welcome and will continue to go back when i can pry myself out of bed.

I LOVE Arrichion :) While I have been going several times per week for the last couple of years, Ive visited many times since Arrichion opened and they just continue to improve! The facility is in great condition and I love the new floors (hardwoods are much better than the old carpet, great improvement!). The environment is very welcoming and I love the little extras (like little popsicles to cool off after class in the summer!). The instructors are wonderful to work with. I always feel comfortable yet challenged. I love the variety of classes - theres something for everyone! They have everything from classic stretch classes (topaz) to high intensity flows (bloodstone); its great to personalize my workout routine each week. I also love when they do community events like classes at Athleta and at local breweries. This is a fun group and a great workout!

I purchased a Groupon for 20 sessions that lasted almost 3 months. It was wonderful! The facility is extremely clean and the instructors are very welcoming and helpful. If they know its your first time they will explain how the class works and what classes you would enjoy depending on your level of yoga. The website was very helpful as well. I have practiced yoga before in my own home, but this was my first experience with hot yoga, and Arrichion has set a high bar for my satisfaction with a yoga facility. I wish my Groupon lasted longer, I would love to come back! The prices for regular sessions arent in my budget right now, but maybe eventually. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :)

I am a professional golfer and started doing hot yoga years ago to improve my core stability and felixibility and I can say that Arrichion is the best place I have ever done yoga at. They help you push yourself further both physically and mentally in a friendly and supportive environent and Arrichion has helped me to improve both my strength and conditioning significantly and in turn has allowed me to improve my golf game as well

I bought a Groupon for 20 classes. I walked in today for my first class and they would not allow me to do class. Because I had done a drop in years ago on a business trip they said I was not a “new client”. They offered to take the money I spent on 20 classes and apply it so I could do a drop in. Groupon gave me a refund. I don’t recommend doing anything on Groupon with this facility.

Beware of Arrichion. Arrichion is not Better Business Bureau accredited, the staff is totally unprofessional, and I would not recommend it to anyone. There are a few places downtown that are worth the money, but not Arrichion.

I came to Arrichion four months ago, and I was at the end of my rope following the completion of my fifth year as a law enforcement officer in south Raleigh. Five years on the streets wearing thirty pounds of gear for twelve plus hours at a time had left my body in shambles. I was in constant pain, especially in my lower back. I considered myself far too young (27) to give up my active lifestyle (hunting, fishing, golf, wrestling, etc). Quite simply, I was out of options.I had been aware of Arrichions excellent wrestling program, and had heard that they offered hot yoga classes. Like many, I thought that yoga was all about wrapping your leg behind your head while finding inner peace while chanting in Sanskrit.I was wrong.Arrichion is a place for athletes, soccer moms, college students, hardcore yogis and everyone in between, including broken down law enforcement officers. The common theme amongst all the members is hard work. All that is required is that you push yourself a little farther every class that you take. If you want to get stronger, thinner, more flexible, or less stressed, Arrichion is the place for you and can guide you to accomplishing whatever it is that you want to do.Arrichion offers multiple yoga classes, each of them offering different challenges. There is also Warrior (Circuit Training), Sparta (Crossfit/P90x/Olympic Lifts), and the hardest workout in Raleigh, Tigers Eye, which consists of thirty minutes of intense circuit training followed by thirty minutes of even more intense yoga. I take a combination of all of the classes and have throughly enjoyed all of them.So what have my results been?I have taken approximately 60 classes in four months. I have gained fifteen pounds of muscle while maintaining 8 percent body fat. I am more flexible than I have ever been and I have no more back pain. Zip, Zero, Nada. I sleep better while rotating shifts, I have more energy while working the streets and am in overall as good a shape as I have been since I wrestled year round in high school.No matter where you are physically, (see aforementioned range of members) come to Arrichion and make the improvements that you want to make. All you need is a towel (or three), a large water bottle, yoga mat and the desire to work hard. You will see the results you want if you stick with it.

I really wanted to like this studio, but I just cant recommend it. I got one of their Groupon month passes and was really pumped when I arrived for my first class and found out that the founder had gone through teacher training at my favorite studio in Texas, which I have been missing since I moved. Many of the routines in the classes were very similar, and while this place lacked the expert instruction that Sunstone had, I though it would still be okay.However, over the 20 or so classes I attended, I have had a enough negative experiences with the teachers that have given the studio a very negative vibe. For example, when I have been trying to enjoy the final savasana, the instructor for the next class will open and close the door to see if I am still there. I never stay more than five minutes after class, normally only three or four, so not only is this distracting, but it feels unnecessary on their part. This happens basically after every class if I dont immediately leave.I have also experienced very later arrivals to class (20 minutes or so) which totally disrupt the whole thing. This is also against the stated policy of the studio. However, when I have mentioned it to the instructors, they have basically told me so what, we didnt want to turn people away. If the people are going to be that late, frankly they should be turned away. That is what other studios do, and what this studio says it does. And the instructors shouldnt be rude when I ask about this after class.I think the instructor attitude has also contributed to what I feel is a bad culture in the place overall. I often feel that I am being pushed to my limit in each pose every class, which is great some days, but not what I need on others. Effectively, I dont feel that I am respected by the instructors wherever I am in my practice that day. Despite signs on the doors asking people not to talk inside the yoga room, people routinely have loud conversations. Also, they need to set smaller student limits for the classes. When they get very busy you literally have about one inch between you and your neighbors, which makes many of the poses hard to do.TLDR: Frankly, I stayed longer than I should have because it was convenient and I really wanted it to be good. However, the instructors create a bad culture for the studio and it is hard to relax here. Would not recommend.

Pain, muscle imbalances, overweight, lack of strength, lack of motivation, that was me when I first walked into Arrichion 3 years ago. I have been running. I have been to bootcamp classes but I still find myself suffering injuries and in constant pain. My massage therapist urge me to take hot yoga and this has helped tremendously. I went from running 1 m stopping in pain to 11m and in little pain. Today, I continue running and now I have a new goal. With my shoulder injury and bad knee, I was never able to do weight lifting - now with the help of the coaches I am slowly getting there. My focus is to become stronger, leaner and hey maybe those muscles will show...All I can do is keep at it...Approaching 60 years old, I am going in the right direction with arrichion - Thanks so much
