Welcome to Our Home
Conveniently located in Downtown Ventura on the Corner of Main Street and Laurel Street in an iconic Ventura Building, The Movement is happy to offer two complete studios under one roof! The ONLY studio in Ventura offering such a wide variety of holistic fitness options for body and mind.
Main Studio
Imagine yourself in a dark room, lit only by neon and candlelight, with music loud and bass bumping. Imagine moving your body to the beat of the music surrounded by a community of positive and uplifting people moving with you. Our Main Studio is designed as a sensory experience to allow you to fully disconnect from the outside world and deeply connect with your mind and body.
Our Schwinn AC Performance Carbon Blue bikes provide an ultra smooth ride and are ergonomically designed for comfort and safety. We use triple link pedals that are compatible with both SPD and Delta/Peloton Clips and also feature toe straps to allow for the use of standard shoes.
Our Main Studio features its own lobby area and lockers for your convenience and fans and air purifiers for your comfort.
Laurel Studio
In contrast to the Main Studio, our Laurel Studio is a bright and calming space filled with natural light, natural elements, greenery and calming vibes. A beautiful and grounding space for yoga and sound baths, an energizing and safe space for dance and barre and a perfect space for focus in Pilates and Body Bands.
The Laurel Studio features calming lighting, ballet barres and natural wood flooring. We provide all the props and equipment you need for all your classes with us and set up and clean up all equipment for you in our full-service studio.
The Laurel Studio is located just off the lobby and includes cubbies for your belongings, fans for your comfort and customizable lighting for the most immersive experience.
OUR POLICIES
NO SHOWS: We hate them. We ask that you always cancel as far in advance as possible. The sooner you cancel, the more likely we will be able to fill the open spot with another client. No shows will lose their class credit.
CLASS CANCELLATION: You must cancel your class reservation NO LATER than 12 hours prior to the start of the class. Late cancellation will result in the loss of the class credit. We do no charge a late cancel fee. Lucky you.
NEW CLIENTS: We love them! We ask that new clients arrive NO LATER than 10 Minutes prior to the start of class to ensure we are able to show you around the studio and make you feel as prepared and comfortable as possible before your class begins.
WAITLIST POLICY: When a class is full, you'll have the option to join the waitlist. If you are next on the waitlist and a spot becomes available, we'll automatically add you into the class. If you are added to a class and do not show up, our NO SHOW POLICY applies unless you are added less than 2 hours prior to class. Note that putting yourself on the waitlist means that you fully intend to join the class.
PHONE USAGE: There is absolutely no phone usage allowed while class is going on. We will freeze your phone in a block of ice.
LATE ARRIVALS: Please try to arrive on time, coming into class late disrupts the flow of the class and the experience of the other clients.
LEAVING EARLY: Again, this disrupts the flow of the class. We understand that there may be circumstances when this is necessary, please try to let your instructor know before class so they can tell you when a good point to leave may be and so they don’t think they offended you.
CYCLING SHOES
WE DO NOT RENT CYCLE SHOES. READ THAT AGAIN.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you wear clip in cycle shoes on our bikes. All of our bikes are compatible with both SPD and DELTA Clips. However, all bikes also have toe cages that allow you to strap in with regular shoes. In the event that you do not clip in, we recommend shoes with a FIRM SOLE.
The favorite cycle shoe at The Movement are TIEM brand. We do offer DEMO SHOES in limited sizes at the studio if you wish to try them out. You may only use DEMO SHOES ONE TIME.
