RateYourBurn | Fitness instructors & trainers, reviews of Kira Stokes

A truly amazing class. It never gets easier and this is because Kira never does the same thing. Just as you master something she changes the workout. This is why your body keeps working. You are...

Just as you are about to walk out and quit from exhaustion the class is over. thirty minutes of intense moves that are fun, a bit silly, but killer. After just a few classes you can feel yourself...

Kira Stokes is one of the most creative instructor in NYC that I have found.  I have workout my entire life, 53 years and I consider myself to be in very good shape but I have never seen Any...

DISCLAIMER: I hate "Spinning". Like, a LOT. But I had been lucky enough to have the "Stoked" experience with Kira from taking her Stoked in the Park series last fall, so when she told us she would...

I am convinced that the RIP ride with Kira Stokes is the single best spin class in New York City. I do a lot - I mean a lot - of classes and this one has got the rest beat.
Kira is fun,...

I have taken Kira at Revolve as of late. She quickly became one of my favorite fitness instructors in all the land. The technique, the personality, the body. I mean she is the total package and is...

Okay, now I understand the appeal of revolve-Kira! She is absolutely fantastic. This is the combo of everything I look for in spin class with a combo of hills and flats-all interval based. What I...

This is the format, in my opinion, where Kira totally shines. She is so freaking creative. In all the classes I've been to/watched Kira teach, what stands out every time is that she is constantly...

I have to caveat this review by saying that I think Kira Stokes is one of the more creative instructors in NYC, and she is NOT a 2.5-star instructor. But to me, this was a 2.5-star class (I'm...

KIRA IS AMAZING. Hands down my favorite spin instructor that I've found in the city!

Her class is HARD. Three songs of spinning, three sets of weights, three songs of spinning, three sets of...

Kira’s classes regularly sell out at Revolve (and everywhere apparently) and it’s for one reason only: girl is a cold, hard pro.  The RIP Ride is one of the most challenging spin classes both at...

I've been forcing myself to go to spin classes even though they are not my favorite workout because I know that my body needs a break from running.  However, I didn't love it...until I found Kira. ...

Stoked Primal is THE ONLY workout available to bring me back to my deep roots as a gymnast. Primal demands it all. Total body engagement. Bounding across the studio floors, and pushing my...

I just have to start by saying that i  have been spinning since 1994 when Johnny G came and introduced spinning to Crunch. I have taken so many classes over the years with varying intensity, energy...

Kira's Rip Ride (which she created) is the perfect mix of spinning and strength. Unlike other classes where you slow down for one song and lift some weights on your bike, this class alternates...

I kinda feel like Kira's classes are the best thing to happen to the spin scene since clip-in pedals. Her classes are outstanding, and she a big reason I came to Revolve. I've been to several of...

Kira's 60 min RIP ride is exactly what it says.  Will get you RIPPED.  Right mix of cardio and weights.  She also knows how to push you to your limits without you realizing it.  Been doing spin for...

Kira gives her all in every single class she teaches. She spends a ton of time planning out each of her classes and it shows. The most amazing thing about her classes however is that aside from...

Kira is by far the best instructor. Taking her class is like a personal training session. She combines moves in the best way to maximize results and her cues are always super helpful. I follow Kira...

So, I didn't do my research before class about who Kira Stokes was. If I had, I probably would've been terrified outta my mind because she's basically some kind of New York fitness goddess. Girl is...

Kira Stokes has converted me to the awesomeness of Spin!  I've taken a spin class here and there but always left the classes feeling like I needed to go for a run outside.  I have taken Kira's RIP...

Don't be fooled by those who try to imitate this type of class. Weights and dumbbells in a cycling class have to be done PROPERLY and SAFELY. Why would you put yourself at risk with someone who...

The Rip Ride at Revolve taught by Kira Stokes incorporates intense cycling and light weights.  I just took it for the first time and loved it!  Kira's energy was contagious and her variety of hills...

Kira's Stoked Primal is one of the most effective, challenging, fun, and ingenious classes ever.  Half an hour of travelling across the room on all fours via various animal moves.  Inchworm,...

Kira teaches the best class in town! I have tried many classes throughout the city including a lot of private classes but nothing compares...

Kira Stokes is what most trainers aspire to be. fabulously fit, fierce & always on fire.Friendly?...well only if you give it your best and try above everything to keep proper form. Form...

This class is the only one that keeps my core strong and honestly, shows my ab "Boxes" as I call them. Kira's style and layering of movements really fatigues the muscles to their maximum...

Stoked 360 is an amazing class taught by the one and only Kira Stokes. I have been taking this class for over 3 years. I'm telling you no one compares. My body always changes when I stick to...

Simply put this is the class to creat super strong core and abdominal strenght.  Through Kira Stokes guidience you will make your abb muscles pop and be seen by all!

Truly an amazing class.  Each minute brings you better strenght, stamina and better range of motion.
This is the best class on the planet!

How many times have we all been in a class where we are moving, working hard,...

Kira is an excellent teacher and motivator. Stoked 360 is extremely challenging, physically intense, yet when class is over, you walk out of their knowing you just got the BEST total body...

 Stoked Primal was incredibly challenging on all levels. The animal walks targeted different muscle groups, but they also raised your heart rate to give you an all around great total body...

I've been lucky enough to have been taking Kira's classes for a LOT of years (I live in Boston, where she started teaching).  She is such an amazing person and instructor that I have...

i will take ANY class kira teaches.  why?  because you know that when you take kira's class you are going to leave completely satisfied.  completely worked to the place where you...

can create a class based on animal moves.  holy shit, i have never seen 30 minutes actually work.  for those who know, this is the best warm up for 360.  She has coined the names...

cardio sculpt, whippe, 30/60/90, boot camp...you name it, i have done it.  nobody is like Kira.  her class actually works.  it transforms your body.  in a room of 50 people,...

Kira is probably the fittest trainer I know. I took her class the first time on a rec from a good friend. Before her 360 class, she was doing one that was another ass-buster for 30 minutes. I...

Kira Stokes' Stoked 360 is a fantastic total-body strength and cardio workout.
It's long, but with the great crowd of loyal regulars, the music, and Kira motivating you, you'll get...

Kira Stokes will kick your butt with her Stoked Primal class, and in only 30 minutes!
Primal is all about body weight exercises and it is hard--so hard that most of the super-fit folks...

Kira leads this killer class with her powerhouse body and always a bit of pink to show her girly side. She is funny, focused and keeps you moving so that you barely notice time is almost up. She...

I always see hoards of people going to Kira's classes, so as a former dancer I decided to try "Stoked at the Barre." I found Kira to be completely condescending while leading the class.  She was...

If you want  to revolutionize your fitness level, then come to a Stoked class, especially Stoked 360. Kira is devoted to every student getting as much as possible out of every minute of her class. ...

I have been going to kira for a few years now and I can honestly say she single handedly changed my understanding of what it is to work out and train.  Take one look at Kira and you will see that...

Since 2009, I have been going to Kira Stokes "Stoked 360" at Reebok Sports Club.  Every Monday night, I will NOT make other plans, have told work I HAVE to leave at 5pm, and now that I am the...

Ok...this is THE class to take if you want to feel that you had the workout of your life and "emptied out the tank" . This is a level 2-3 class and Kira expects that you are ready to work at that...

you've worked out with Kira Stokes.  I am a runner and have also been taking my share of classes for years.  The first time I stepped into Kira's class, I knew it was something different.  She...

I shuttled into Kira’s abs class after she had already taught both the Stoked Primal and Stoked 360 classes, and I was approximately the only person there who hadn’t spent the last 90 minutes under...
