It is hard to miss and is not visible to the street view. As you walk in the place is very cute and very clean. The ladies that work there are very friendly and very informative/helpful regarding any questions you may have. Our instructor was very nice. I totally forgot her name. She was awesome, she's very interactive in the class. She does walk around the room periodically to make sure you are in the right position which is quite helpful because I can tell you I had no clue as to what I as doing. The whole class was awesome, we all definitely felt the burn. By the way, it was the Barre Classic class which is recommended for beginners. It's a mixture of yoga, stretching and ballet moves, which by the way, were awesome practises that you can do at home. Who knew about these ballet moves?? When the class was over she interacted with us for a bit which was nice. They have a lot of specials/deals right now that are awesome. The one class by itself was $20. It was totally worth it. I can't tell you it was worth it because I could hardly get out of my bed this morning. I will definitely be back with my friends!!

I came to Barre Life while I was visiting family in Oakville. I'm a Pure Barre addict, so I HAD to…read morefind a barre studio during this trip. Barre Life had a great introductory special: unlimited classes for two weeks for only $40. Yay! So the studio is very nice and clean on the inside. The outside is not much to look at, though there is plenty of parking. The lobby is spacious, they have retail, and the front of the house staff are friendly. There is also a large women's locker room--always a plus. I took 3 classes at Barre Life: Sculpt and two level 1 classes. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety that the studio offers--I think it's great that there are different classes depending on what you're looking for (beginner, advanced, more ballet-oriented, etc). I enjoyed Sculpt the most, as it was somewhat similar to what I'm used to at Pure Barre. I like a more fast-paced and intense class as well as using different props, such as weights, balls, and resistance bands. I also enjoyed the music, which was upbeat and current. What prevents me from giving a higher rating is related to the instruction. During one class, I was actually discouraged when I challenged myself to hold a pose--I was told by an instructor to stop when she saw that my thigh muscles were shaking. Also, I never saw any of the instructors go around the room and adjust people's forms, and I could see that several people needed adjustments, including myself. I found this to be problematic because if you don't have the correct form, you could easily injure yourself--especially your back. Maybe other instructors are more conscientious about that, though. All in all, there were more positives than negatives, but the instructor contributes heavily to the experience in my opinion. I would still try Barre Life when I visit Oakville again, since it is still a great workout.

I popped in last week for a Mat class while I was on a work trip near Hamilton. Adrienne was…read moresubbing for the class. She taught a fabulous, dynamic, thoughtful 55 minute class. Small studio space, with plenty of equipment- several reformers, a Cadillac, at least one chair. Enough room for 8 mats. Great boutique studio feel! Easy to find location in Westdale. I would have spent more time there to be honest, seemed like a great neighborhood. Being from out of town, I inquired through Facebook. Karina was prompt to reply and made payment easy through etransfer. Great experience and I would highly recommend forsure!

I was really looking forward to my new journey in well being as some health issues got in the way…read moreof me moving forward with CrossFit (which I loved). I visited a few Pilates studios as they had post recovery sessions (which I desperately needed). I signed up for private training session, with intention of registering for the classes that my personal trainer would recommend (she was so awesome). I was finally on my way to my live of fitness, not only for my body but my mental wellbeing). My doctor unfortunately caught that my ailment required more time to analyze from a doctors perspective. I called immediate and was told that all is good as it's 10 days until you can't cancel. on January 19, I went in for a refund, February 2nd no refund. Julia who handled the refund transaction was inattentive (very differ than when my money was accepted). Julia, was rude since day one of managing my refund, she continued to give me "attitude " and said "it could even take 15 business days". My bank shared that's too long. She made me feel less than, I feel like a $ sign. no problem taking my money with happiness. She is the reason why I won't go to this studio as she seemed to continuously not care about me nor my situation. This is supposed to be a place for well being and I work in the field so have a vast knowledge of this. Definitely was treated differently when asked for a refund, until cleared by my doctor. I will NEVER go back. I'm happy for all of you who didn't have to experience this. There are some of us who need a post recovery before going back, who are treated less than. No refund yet but a phone call was made for me not to post this. What does that tell you? I went through all the right channel, and still got treated like . I wish everyone well and hope they reflect on how they manage people like me mov forwar. btw got an email that I got q refund, NO I DID NOT.
