Reviews of Water and Rock Studio

Emily Faber

I attended an amazing goat yoga class with this studio! Dawn was a fantastic teacher, and the goats were incredibly cute. The whole experience was well-organized, and I highly recommend it!

Paola Haenn

Thank you to Japheth and everyone at Water and Rock Studio for a great team building event for our lacrosse team! You were all so accommodating and helpful throughout the process! I would highly recommend Water and Rock Studio! Thank you!!!

Missy Lattanze

My daughter and I went together. We picked a hot July day but the fun of yoga and goats made the heat bareable. Our instructor was great but the goats stole the show. Babies at a month old running around were too cute to ignore. We can't wait to go again and will definitely bring some friends

Megan Balmoos

My friend and I had an awesome time attending yoga with rescue dogs. The class and the instructor were fantastic. Great for beginners or those well versed in a yoga practice .. and the cherry on top was all the doggy kisses!

Brandi George

We had a great time doing yoga and playing and snuggling baby goats! The farm is beautiful, the class was organized even with the cuteness overload distractions of the baby goats 😂🥰, is also super laid back and lots of fun! This was my friend and I’s first time and we definitely will be attending more often next year! …

Melissa Dickson

I did for the my first time goat yoga this past Sunday and it was so much fun. Also the instructor was so kind I highly recommend it if you’re looking for yoga and the love of animals too then this is for you.

Isaac Munro

Great experience - Andre was a fantastic trainer and everything was always flexible and smooth in terms of scheduling and logistics. The studio is well located and in a beautiful space, highly recommend!

Jessica Gilpert

We had goat yoga at our university, and Japheth and his team were very responsive, professional and helpful. The students loved it!

Monica Washington

We wanted to do something different for a ladies' retreat and goat yoga was the perfect activity! Booking our class was easy, Water and Rock Studio was responsive to our questions, Dawn our yoga instructor was knowledgeable and pleasant, and the goats were cute and well behaved. We loved the quaintness of the Mountain Pride Farm where the yoga class was held and the goat handlers were fantastic! We would definitely book again.

Jennifer Brinsky

Suzanne is an amazing instructor - wise, empathetic, and encouraging. After taking her 95-Hour TI Kids Yoga Teacher Training, I feel so empowered and excited about working with children! I have every resource I could need at my fingertips, and I feel confident in my abilities to start teaching. Despite the class being fully online, I felt a deep sense of personal connection to Suzanne because of her thoughtful and personal feedback on all of my work, and a lovely sense of community with my fellow classmates as we walked through this journey together!

Cory Bank

Although I have only recently started with self defense training at Water and Rock Studio, I have been thoroughly impressed. The attention to detail from making an appointment (including follow ups from the owner personally checking in to see how my sessions went), to the self defense instruction was top notch. The studio (Chestnut Hill) was clean, organized, and well maintained. If you are in the Philadelphia area and are looking for self defense and/or a good workout, I would suggest trying a class.

J. W. Coffin

I completed a Foundations Kids Yoga Course with Water and Rock Studio and it has been a great experience. Suzanne is a great and motivating teacher! The course was detailed and the resources provided to use for future teaching is super helpful.

Danielle Price

I absolutely loved my experience with Water and Rock Studio for my 95KYTT! Suzanne was incredible to work with. Her willingness to answer questions (promptly) and respond to videos/assignments really made the training feel more in-person than virtual! The training was so well done and structured in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming but more something I looked forward to working on and learning each day.

Jennifer Jackson

This was our second time doing goat yoga at the farm! The goats are not one bit shy so be prepared to share your mat! The instructor is friendly, upbeat, and totally understanding of the fact that we're really there for the goats! The pace is nice for beginners and there are lots of photo ops throughout the session. Very relaxing, peaceful, happy experience!!

Andrea Jordan

I loved the Water and Rock Kids Yoga Teacher training! Suzanne teaches with a trauma informed perspective which I really appreciate. I registered for this course to learn more about yoga and teaching children yoga but Suzanne's background, knowledge, and experience has helped me to improve personally and professionally. I loved connecting with Suzanne for a 1:1 Zoom session. Suzanne genuinely cares for the students she serves and is very supportive to ensure that her trainees can be the best they possibly can be for the children they will work with. I would recommend this course for BOTH personal and professional development. This course is the highlight of my summer and I look forward to learning more in the 95 hour training!

Theresa Salgado

I love this place it keeps me motivated to work on my health and fitness program they are very professional and kind and careing.

Cassie Rose

Goat Yoga with Water and Rock Studio was so much fun. The instructor was great - she was fun, inclusive for all ages and levels, and made the whole thing a great experience. Special shout-out to the goats! 😆 …

Sara Scholl

I booked a private 8 person yoga class for my friend’s bachelorette party at Water and Rock Studio and it was a great choice! The space was beautiful and overlooked a garden. Our instructor Beth was super friendly and put together a great flow for us. Japheth helped us with the booking and was very accommodating and helpful. Due to a late scheduling conflict in our bachelorette party schedule, we had to change the time of our class on short notice. Both Beth and Japheth were very responsive and flexible and we were able to make the adjustment work. I still really appreciate that! Would love to take more classes here : )

Madhuri D

Not only was this a quality yoga teacher training it was an intellectually stimulating workshop in a relaxing way! It is well paced, there is lot of discussion, and hands on exercises (which i absolutely loved). The lesson plan was my absolute favorite part!! Suzanne's calm and compose approach made this training extra effective, she listens, shares her experience and is very very considerate of any limitations you may have while doing the training. Love her!

Taylor Hitaffer

Goat yoga is a joyful and playful practice that was lead beautifully by experienced yoga instructors backed by a professional team. Wonderful event. Looking forward to the next one!

Emily Delegatto

I participated in Water and Rock Studio's 95-hour yoga teacher training course, and without a doubt it was such a positive and beneficial experience for me. Suzanne was an amazing, relatable and flexible teacher and really knew how to keep virtual classes engaging and relevant for us. She truly knows what she is teaching. I also enjoyed meeting and working with our people from around the country, and I appreciated that the course was self-paced. The couse was in-depth, and covered multiple aspects of yoga, children's development, and trauma-informed teaching techniques. I can't wait to continue my yoga journey and begin to implement everything I've learned from this course!

Diana Benza

Best thing I’ve done for myself in a while. Such a great yoga certification class! It was informative, engaging, and lots of fun! I highly recommend taking the class, you won’t regret it! I can’t wait to use what I learned with my students and in future yoga classes as a side gig to teaching kindergarten!

Dale Lynn

I loved my training with Water and Rock Studio. Suzanne is an amazing teacher! I'm so excited to start utilizing all the wonderful skills I've learned. This is definitely worth it, if you're looking for a life long positive way to help kids and change lives! Thank you so much! I'm forever grateful! ❤

Tanya Restar

Suzanne’s training was fabulous! I am a 200 hour RYT yoga teacher. I am so excited to expand my yoga teaching to children. I am a mother of 3 and have witnessed the positive effects yoga and mindfulness have on children. Thank you for the opportunity.

Valerie Jowett

I attended a kids yoga training this past weekend. As someone who never taught children, I was given the tools needed to feel confident on delivering a fun class for all ages. Suzanne Brubaker was incredibly knowledgeable, organized and delivered such quality information to all of us during the trainjng. I highly recommend this training but Water and Rock Studio overall.

Sarah Mayland

I have been an instructor at Water and Rock Studio for about 3 months, and have really enjoyed working here. The clients I work with are truly amazing people, and I appreciate that I am not restricted to a particular format or modality -- I am given the space and flexibility to help clients meet their goals in ways that work for them. Additionally the owner was very understanding and flexible when I had to find coverage for one of my sessions recently.

Dee Renee

I am a certified yoga Professional with Water & Rock and have been for almost 2 years. The partnership with Japheth and Suzanne has been amazing. They have given me opportunities to share my love of yoga with a number of great yogis as well as become one of the lead farm animal yoga instructors. I’m thankful I found them through Indeed website. Looking forward to many more years of sharing yoga through Water & Rock studio.

Kimberly Gates

My husband and I have been coming to Water and Rock for almost 3 years for primarily their yoga and fitness classes and we love it. It has become essential to our weekly routine. Aside from helping small business owners which is near and dear to my heart, I really like the personal touch the studio offers, such as offering suggestions for improvements to poses, challenging you to achieve your intentions/goals each practice, and allowing you to adjust based on what your body is feeling without feeling any pressure or judgment. The studio's owners, Japheth and Suzanne, often work with us to adjust class schedules/times, which is very important to us due to our hectic work situation and consistent travel. They are very understanding and willingly offer suggestions for improvements. They also hire wonderfully experienced teachers in addition to themselves to teach the classes, which offers variety and keeps the classes fresh & new. I would recommend this studio to anyone who wants to get back into shape or maintain the shape they are already in!

Jaja Jarra

The owner, Japheth and my personal trainer, Sarah have been super supportive in my physical and mental transition into a better verse of myself. They have a spiritual energy/vibe that energizes and motivates me to give 110% each training session and at home. I am happy with my decision to invest in myself and I know that the team at Water and Rock Studio will get me to my goal!

Mr Schiffman

Water and Rock studio is a great place to work and train! Classes are well organized and taught by qualified instructors. They have both group and private lessons available to suit your health and fitness needs. The Studio is always clean, comfortable and well organized. I highly recommend Water and Rock Studio for individual and family training!

Daryl Dancy

This pandemic has been challenging for us all, but for those of us who depend on fitness in all of its varying forms, it has become even more so. Adaptation is the key, Water and Rock Studio's use of Zoom to continue my fitness routine has been an essential link in maintaining my physical fitness as well as mental my mental health. Twice a week, I have looked forward to Zoom classes as an outlet for me, and thus far I have not been disappointed. I had some intense workouts within the confines of my basement, and have adjusted well to my new normal. The personalized instruction that I have received from the Studio has greatly assisted in this area.

Ina Dye

I thoroughly enjoyed Water and Rock kids yoga training. Suzanne Brubaker is a compassionate and awesome instructor and I learned quite a bit about teaching yoga. I am ready to begin my business and help make the world a better place. I can’t wait to take the teen training. Imagine a world where all kids are grounded, happy and healthy!

Amanda Tiberghien

I loved the kids yoga training I went through. I learned a lot that i can take with me even after already teaching kids yoga! I love how professional but even more personal Suzanne was! I cant wait to take another training with her!

Susan Friel

My daughter loved the experience with this studio! They were very good to deal with 🐐🧘🏼 …

LeeAnn Kindness

I started with Water and Rock doing prenatal yoga with Suzanne. After a couple miscarriages, practicing with Suzanne made me feel grounded and centered in what felt like the longest scariest pregnancy ever. After having my little one I continued to practice at the studio and added their amazing functional fitness classes into my routine. Loosing the baby weight was just an added bonus to the strength I found. Their holistic approach to health and fitness served my mind and body perfectly. If you're seeking a studio that exudes kindness and love into every aspect of what they do, they are it.

Rick Kates

Japheth and Suzanne provide training for total body and mind. Great focus on fitness, eating, stress and sleep and the results I've seen in the last year are incredible. Body fat reduction, flexibility, strength and ability to cope with work stress have all been amazing. The environment is low key and the group of instructors that have come on board provide even more opportunity for diverse sessions. The unlimited membership also gives me flexibility I need. I could not recommend Water and Rock more highly Could not ask for a better environment!

Stephanie Ostroff

I have been attending the yoga classes at Water & Rock and thoroughly enjoying them! Jamie's vinyasa flow class gets my heart rate up, while at the same time offering some serious stress relief and relaxation on Thursday nights. I'm so happy to have found this little studio in Chestnut Hill. As a recently certified yoga teacher myself, I would definitely recommend Water & Rock's yoga classes, both hatha and vinyasa!

Meg Nolan

Great instructors and variety of classes. They quickly adapted to social distancing by offering zoom classes. The yoga, fitness, and kick-boxing classes on zoom are really good. Being able to exercise with others in a small group keeps it fun. Highly recommended!

Jessica Nixon

I started working out at Water and Rock Studio at the free community workout sessions on Saturdays. I was having a great time and wanted to do some additional work, so I inquired about learning yoga in order to better deal with work-related stress. The total package that I have received from working with Japheth is above and beyond my expectations. In addition to yoga Japheth has incorporated functional fitness, nutrition guidance, and general lifestyle coaching that has not only improved my physical performance but has had a noticeable positive impact on my job performance. I feel significantly less stressed and am in the best physical shape I have ever been.

Joy Isabelle

Water and Rock Studio is a great little studio in Chestnut Hill. Japheth and his team are friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging in reaching your wellness goals. I've done 30 minute personal training sessions the past 6 months and I appreciate the holistic approach that Japheth implements from Day One. I'm eating healthier, am more active, and appreciate the support as I try and make these lifestyle changes. Japheth also worked within my budget and found a way to make the most of what I could afford. I highly recommend Water and Rock Studio!

Kellie Rizzuto

A very therapeutic experience at goat yoga on a Sunday morning. Beautiful farm, we had beautiful weather, and the goats were too cute!

Gabriel McCorkle

Japheth and Suzanne are the industry's best! I have been training with Water and Rock Studio for four years and learn something new each session with Japheth. Whether obtaining new certifications, taking classes, or attending seminars, Japheth is always on the cutting edge, giving his clients the competitive advantage. And, the prices are fairly and competitively priced. I would highly recommend Water and Rock Studio to any person looking to take another step towards their optimal health/ healthy lifestyle!

scubamom59

Had an amazing time at Goat Yoga last Sunday!! The class was thorough but not overly difficult for a novice like me and my daughter. And the goats!!!! So cute and well taken care of. Just a fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning!

Amanda

I purchased a certificate for a Christmas gift for Goat Yoga classes. I am very excited about gifting such a unique and memorable experience. Suzanne and Japheth both helped me out along the whole ordering process since I do not live in the north east and I appreciate that they were willing to make sure everything was perfect. Will update after gifted and the classes are taken. :)

Jennifer Keenan

Suzanne was very informative answer her passion behind what she does is evident. She provided us with information on lesson ideas, development groups and business outlooks. Suzanne opened up communication behind her training for support as you move forward in your Path. Quick and easy two weekends! Recommend if interested in working with children on own or through other programs

Pattie Jo

The first "Alpaca and Llama Yoga" session held at Mountain Pride farm in Quakertown was a wonderful experience. The animals were beautiful, friendly and curious. The farm setting was lovely. The instructor had good energy, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Kathleen Megahan

Goat Yoga with Water and Rock Studio is not only relaxing and good for your body- it’s fun to interact with the goats!! Highly recommend!

Michelle Vandenberg

We had a great time at goat yoga! The goats were adorable and the instructor was so much fun

ShuKraNS 81

We are about to start our first cat yoga session in Pasadena with Water and Rock Studio and we are beside ourselves with excitement and admiration! Not only do we get to express movement and bond with kittens through this class, we are also supporting a great cause as 50% of proceeds are donated to The Pasadena Humane Society. I can definitely speak for their admirable customer service. It is second to none. I reached out via social media and someone replied right away. We communicated my concerns onward. I will update after yoga session.

Shahriar Eskandari

I found Water and Rock Studio with high reviews close to my workplace. Since I started working with Japheth, I am happier and more confident. I had high blood pressure which was unusual for my age but after several months of hard work with him I could control my blood pressure and my weight. He gave me guidelines for healthier eating which was a huge challenge for me.❤

Tim Latham

Japheth is a fantastic trainer with a wealth of knowledge to give! Each session, whether a 1 on 1 or small group, builds on the last session and I always leave with new knowledge/skills. I highly recommend Water and Rock Studio for anyone looking to take their health/fitness to the next level!

Dionna Rinaldi

I attended kitten and cat yoga at the local animal shelter run by Water and Rock Studio. The entire team from Water and Rock was so friendly and made the process when I purchased the ticket seamless. I really loved that they have a true passion for the animals and donated at least half of the proceeds to the animal shelter. I hope to attend another event by them! Thank you!

Makenna Piaskowski

Loved goat yoga!! 10/10 would recommend, so cute and fun!

Ruchi Kumar

Suzanne's 16 hour kids yoga workshop was fantastic! I learned the joys of being playful and silly and also encouraging good mental health for the kids

Jandrea Engle

Working with Japheth and Suzanne over the last year and a half has been a true blessing. They're the perfect balance of personalization for your specific needs, utilizing training that's focused on all aspects of your life – fitness, stress management, and healthy sleeping and eating habits. As life has thrown it's curve balls, Water & Rock Studio has been the constant in my life that gives me the reinforcement and motivation I need to stay on track! Definitely check out the studio if you have a chance!

Tracey Inman

Goat yoga was so much fun! The instructor was very good and of course the goats were awesome. I hope to try one of their other classes.

Megan Tobias

Goat yoga was an amazing experience, that I will definitely be doing again! Everyone was so friendly and professional. I highly recommend Water and Rock studio.

Antwyne Jones

I've been using the services of Water and Rock Studio for just over a year now with tremendous results. My initial weigh in was at 217 pounds and 22 percent body fat. I was also on pre diabetic medication. Through hard work and guidance from Japheth, I'm now 180 lbs with 14 percent body fat! My waist size went from 38 to 34. I haven't felt this good since my teenage years. If you commit yourself to modifying your food and water intake and hard work, you'll definitely see results. I highly recommend people at least visit the studio for a consultation . It can change your life!

Shannon Sommers

Suzanne is lovely and infectious! She teaches a wonderfully trauma informed approach to yoga for children… very friendly and a pleasure to work with… Highly recommend!

Judi

This studio is super close to my home in Mt. Airy and backs up to a stunning garden in the back. Having private training classes in the mornings here were especially lovely with the sun rising from their giant windows facing the garden. Also really love the yoga teacher Jaime, she is sweet, kind and patient. And she does aromatherapy and hands on adjustments which I truly appreciated.

Steve Levin

I started working with Japheth at Water and Rock 18 months ago. In that time I have lost 35 pounds, become much stronger, more flexible, and have greater endurance. This summer I climbed 14,000 foot Mt. Bedford in Colorado with my son. I couldn’t have come close to achieving that two years ago. My blood pressure and cholesterol are lower than ever. The training he recommends and the diet work. It’s not magic, but if you work at the program, and work hard, you can reach your goals. Japheth is a great motivator and trainer, and he’s fun to work with. If you’re thinking it’s time to get healthy, working with the folks at Water and Rock is a great first step.

Jason Livingood

I have had a great experience with Japheth at Water and Rock Studio and highly recommend them. They are worth your time and money, but be forewarned as a side effect you will probably become too small for your wardrobe and need to invest in some new clothes! ;-) I am totally serious, I dropped some weight and a couple inches off my waist and just bought my first sleeveless workout shirt in 30 years since, all while getting stronger. Prior to Water and Rock Studio, I was an avid bicyclist, runner, and amateur sports car racer, but suffered a major injury while cycling that required an extended period of inactivity and rehabilitation. I also had a pretty weak core and not much upper body strength. Following physical therapy / rehab for a shattered clavicle (now plated & screwed back together), I wanted to increase core and upper body strength, build endurance, increase flexibility, and learn a bit of yoga. After an initial meeting, we also identified a need to reduce my stress level and take steps improve my nutrition. My regular one on one sessions tend to check in on personal health, stress levels, and nutrition, and then engage in a wide variety of functional fitness work. It is always changing, so you never get bored or find it repetitive. This can't be understated, as I hated trying to go to a traditional gym and using whatever machines were available - that never worked for me. I have also attended a few of their group sessions, especially the free ones on Saturdays, and find them good as well - to round out my activity each week. They also work with an informal local network of other health & wellness professionals, which is nice. And they have periodic special events that are interesting. Reflecting back on the last six months of working with Water and Rock studio, I have to say I have been highly impressed with the result, and it has been worth every penny spent and every minute invested personally. That said, the results depend on **your** commitment and willingness to try new things and focus on fitness and nutrition every week between your sessions. Although I was often skeptical of some of the dietary and health recommendations for example, I have tried each one just to see and saw some surprising results that have motivated me to keep up with the changes (nothing like positive reinforcement!). I am now stronger and in better condition that before my injury, my nutrition has improved, my health has improved (for example - my cholesterol was high before hand and is now substantially lower and in the normal range again), I have learned and regularly practice yoga, and my stress level has dramatically diminished. I have not felt this good in many years, and friends, family, and co-workers have all noticed. I highly recommend Japheth and Water and Rock Studio - give them a try and see what you think!

Lntracy1

I cannot say enough good words about Water and Rock Studio. Working with Japheth over the past few months has changed my life. His advice and instruction are always spot on. He is sincere in his approach, motivating, sometimes tough ;) and has a great sense of humor. For anyone who has been searching for that perfect trainer, give him a call. He is a true pro.

Veronica Smith

My family and I do the virtual training at Water and Rock Studio and we love it! It is personal and professional. After just a few weeks, we have seen tremendous results. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to become healthier and happier!

Kristin Tracy

I have a disability, weakness on my right-side up and down my body. I love yoga, but the balance stuff can be scary and I never get the full benefit of the arm extensions because I always have to hold on to something to maintain my balance. Suzanne changed all that! She comes over to hold me steady so I can really stretch. I've never felt so safe in yoga before - ever! I can't wait for Thursday's now! I'm so excited to keep going back!

Gabriel McCorkle

I have been training with Japheth at Water and Rock Studio for almost a year now and have had an awesome experience. Japheth is extreemely knowledable, has years of experience in a variety of athletic sports, and most importantly makes being healthy and active a fun and attainable lifestyle. I have experienced results that have put me in the top 1% of Spartan Races and other event that I compete in thanks to Japheth's athletic training, diet advise, and lifestyle habits coaching(dealing with stress, sleep habits, ect.) Definitely the best in the industry!! Gabriel

Beatrice.

I have signed up with Suzanne for the Kids Yoga Training and I don’t regret at all. She is super professional and caring. Don’t hesitate a minute, it’s worth it. Thank you Suzanne 🙏🏽 …

Christina Frei

Water and Rock Studio ROCKS! In all seriousness. Without the help of Japheth and Suzanne I would not be on my way to health. Indeed, their personalized integrated approach to wellness, health, and fitness certainly works from the inside out. And perhaps, this metaphor of "inside out" describes the underlying principles of the Water and Rock approach to a fit lifestyle and wellness. I cannot say enough. Here are the facts: I am a 60-year old professional who works hard. A year ago, I was at 210 pounds, at 39% body fat, taking medicine against high blood pressure and not feeling well at all. Within a year of integrating a multi-facetted lifestyle approach, I lost 55 pounds, dropped my body fat to 22% and no longer take any medication. In addition, I can keep up with my 8-months old grandson with delight and ease. Thus, my prime motivation to be an active, fit and contributing member of my family is becoming true. And who would have thought that I enjoy boxing! A year ago, I could not imaging that cardio-vascular fitness could be so much fun. My point, explore yourself and trust that you can get excited about life. Indeed, I recommend Water and Rock Studio to anyone who is serious about making a lifestyle change. If that is what you want, do not hesitate. Sign up today with Japheth and Suzanne.

Michelle Khalili

I've been working with Japheth since the new year. Because I experienced such amazing results for the first few months, when he asked if I would try virtual sessions with him, I decided to give it a go. At first I was wary, but I have discovered that it is an even better use of time than the training sessions we used to have, and I thought those were great. Being able to talk to him about my diet, nutrition, sleep, health, and other daily habits at an in-depth level allows him to design workout schedules that are better suited for where I am right now in my state of health/fitness. He can also provide better guidance on lifestyle tweaks I need to make almost real-time. Meeting with him weekly has helped me to remember how each and every little decision I make about what to eat, when to go to bed, how much water to drink, etc., impacts my overall health and well-being, not to mention any fitness goals I may have. Best of all, Japheth is a great guy who is very k knowledgeable, passionate, and positive about my potential (yet firm and honest), so he makes me want to keep up my workout schedule and try to make those changes that otherwise would be so hard to do. If you are looking for a trainer who takes it to the next level, Japheth is your guy!

Brian Butash

I have been working with Japheth for about 5 months now and am continuing with the virtual sessions. He continues to challenge me with different workouts that are attainable given my busy schedule. During this time, he has also continued to provide sound nutritional advice. I have had continued success thanks to Japheth and would highly recommend his services as you will not be disappointed.

Life is Good

Japheth took the time to teach me in every class I attended with him. I had fast results mentally and physically. If you listen to his direction and focus he will lead you to health. Japheth keeps thorough assessment of you progress or lack there of, I would recommend him to persons who are serious about getting results.

Britt B

ELITE fitness & training for First Responders! When I came to Water & Rock 3 months ago, I was a walking zombie from shift work, poor diet, and job stress. I received coaching in fitness, (tailored for the dangers and demands of my work!) diet, and stress-reduction.12 weeks later, I'm in the best shape of my life and sleeping better than ever; I feel healthier, more energetic, and more positive. I am stronger, faster, more flexible, and less susceptible to injury! The improvements to my quality of life are worth a fortune - but didn't COST a fortune! :-) If you are Police, Fire, EMS, or ANYONE wanting better health, strength, mobility, and positive outlook, try Water & Rock. You will not be disappointed. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. I can't overstate this: If you give Water & Rock some time, energy, and a little bit of dedication, you will emerge a new person. Good luck! Britt.

Brian Krause

I recently retired and signed up for mixed martial arts with Japheth Brubaker. The self defense instruction is invaluable . Japheth also reviewed diet and my total exercise program; fine tuning both. In 4 weeks, I lost 4 pounds and 2 inches off my waist. He is committed to his craft and offered tips to help me stick with the program. If you are looking for a fun way to get healthy, give him a call. I'm glad I did! Brian Krause Elkins Park Pa

Ania Albino

I have been taking the semi-private Self-Defense classes, including several private sessions, at the Water and Rock Studio for about 3 months now. Just after several sessions, I felt more confident as I walked down the street. Especially when you keep taking the classes, you notice that you are building muscle memory and the moves become more second nature. The instructor,Japheth, focuses on what I call practical self defense. In a different MMA class I tried, the focus was on remembering a long series of punch and kicking combos, which in a real life situation, I could not imagine being helpful. In comparison, at the Studio, I've learned a series quick moves designed to help me get away as quickly as possible. Which is what I would prefer to do rather engage in a fight with someone twice my size. We do also of course cover situations where you have to engage a bit more. And that to me is practical self defense. Not to mention that Japheth has a great sense of humor which makes the class fun and up beat. You do get a great work out. One of my favorite things to do is practicing punching and kicking because it relieves stress better than any work out I have ever done. Another favorite: at 5'4" tall, I love taking a 200lbs guy and flipping him over my back. Or, realizing I can pick up my also 200lbs husband and carry him over my back in case I needed to get him out of a burning house. Just knowing you can do that will make your day. I highly recommend you try out the classes!

Steve Levin

I have continued my weekly sessions by zoom with my trainer since the studio was temporarily closed due to COVID-19. To my surprise, the sessions have been various and challenging. I’m so glad I continued training with Water and Rock. It works!

Ben Daniels

Holistic health experience. Like anything else, you get what you put into it. I describe Japheth as a hippie in the body of a personal trainer. He will encourage you to make changes in many areas of your life, and many of them resonated with me (physical activity, sleep, stress, what I eat), while others did not (supplements and essential oils). With regards to the negative reviews, Japheth will assertive state what he believes will help you, but he has always been fine when I assertively state that I am not interested in something (this included when I decided to end my contract renewal). I spent two years with Japheth and learned a lot that I still carry with me. Working with Japheth helped keep me accountable, and I believe that I am a healthier person because of it.

Kara Steckel

We had so much fun at kitten yoga! It was a unique experience that I suggest everyone try! Hoping to try the other classes in the future.

mary jo crone

We had a great experience at the rock and water studio for our small group self defender class! Would highly recommend!

Sara Terry

Water and Rock Studio provides innovative and individualized training that is both professional and fun. I look forward to my sessions, and feel motivated and challenged by the excellent and expert training provided by Japheth.

My friend and I signed up for goat yoga, but we messed up our time slots. They were super accommodating and worked with us to get everything straightened out. I’m even more excited to take the class now!

Having contracted the rare condition of amyloidosis after being a vigilant fitness buff, I sought help at W&R. Japheth & the other trainers gave me mental & physical tools to cope with treatment & look forward to recovery. They exemplify the "personal" in personal training. Thanks to all. John

I contacted them after hours about a class that was sold out online. Not only did they respond promptly to my inquiry, but they helped me register for the class I wanted. Very helpful and kind in the interaction!

I recently participated and completed Water and Rock Studio's 95-hour yoga teacher training course; it was an amazing journey! I loved every moment from the self-reflections and the personal study to learning all about teaching children yoga from a trauma perspective. Suzanne is truly a wonderful teacher, who was extremely positive, encouraging and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this course and I am looking forward to taking another course with Suzanne.
