Having the combo of strength and stretch under 1 membership is also a nice add to compliment my exercise. I signed up for the trial membership for cheap and was hooked.

While most gym's will try to attract customers with new equipment and cheaper rates we have thrived by focusing on the quality of your workout. All classes are run by full-time experienced coaches. We don't use machines. We use barbells/dumbbells/kettlebells/medballs and your own body weight to provide resistance. Our focus is to teach you how to move well first, become confident in your movement and once that has been achieved increase intensity. We have helped hundreds of people break out of the typical gym setting and find out that "working out" can be so much more!

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!

Purchased a 10 class voucher on Groupon to get back into yoga and try a new studio…read more I went to one class and enjoyed the session. Went back a couple months after for a second class (extremely busy with two toddlers, moving, life, etc.) only to be rudely told by the owner that my voucher was good for one use, had to be used within 90 days (was 100 days), read the fine print lalala... The only fine print on my end was that the voucher expired in December (not November). Although there was a bit of discrepancy on both ends, she could have cut some slack since I had already driven all the way there (and called ahead to reserve a spot!) Instead, she turned me away and didn't seem to care about any kind of customer service. They should never offer trials if this is the way they treat people. Very prude service and would never pay full price for a business that doesn't offer the least bit of empathy toward potential clients.

It was fun to try, but for me personally, probably not something I'd continue. For those of you interested though, there are different levels of classes (not just pole dancing, but also aerial yoga, etc.) to do. Sometimes hard to find parking since the lot is small. But there's lots of residential parking nearby (2h limit during the day).
