Studio in Details
About the Studio
Carpe Diem Studio – Northeast opened in August 2020 inside the Northwind Lofts building, a restored warehouse in Minneapolis’s Northeast neighborhood. The studio was founded during the pandemic, bringing together instructors and students to create a space built on uplifting energy and community. The goal has been to welcome students of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds. In 2022, the studio expanded to a second location in Saint Paul, but the Northeast studio remains a hub for wellness with its own character.
The space itself is a highlight: a large, light-filled loft with exposed brick and high ceilings. Visitors often mention the beautiful sunset views of the Minneapolis skyline. The atmosphere is described as positive and feel-good, with plenty of room to spread out. The building’s history adds a unique charm that sets it apart from typical studio environments.
Classes and Services
The studio offers a wide variety of movement classes, from high-intensity strength workouts to restorative yoga. Yoga styles include flow, sculpt, and restorative practices. Additionally, there are Pilates, group fitness, and rowing classes—the Northeast location features Rep and Row classes with rowing machines not available at the Como studio. Instructors are described as knowledgeable and friendly, designing authentic workouts and flows to meet participants where they are.
Beyond classes, Carpe Diem provides an array of wellness services. These include licensed massage therapy (Swedish, deep tissue, integrated), reiki, and recovery services: infrared sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, and NormaTec leg compression. The recovery space is open and conducive to relaxing with friends. Memberships are available for classes, services, or a combination. The studio also hosts donation classes on the first Wednesday of each month featuring rotating instructors and mutual aid programs.
Visitor Experience
Reviews consistently note the welcoming community and excellent staff. The Northeast studio is praised for its convenient class times and never feeling overcrowded. Free towels and water are provided—a appreciated touch since many studios charge for towel rentals. The studio has a clean, well-maintained environment. Visitors recommend trying a free week intro offer to see if it fits.
The recovery services are particularly popular: the Fire & Ice experience (likely a combination of sauna and cold plunge) is well-regarded, with staff explaining the process thoroughly. Massage therapists like Sandra are highly praised for their intuitive and skillful treatments. Overall, the studio is seen as a premier wellness destination in Minneapolis, offering everything from vigorous workouts to deep relaxation under one roof.
