Terrible as that will leave the only Goodlife Fitness downtown where there is little to no parking. They also offer very few classes, Bodyflow, combat and so on. They do offer a lot of Peak classes but of course they are more money. I used to love Goodlife but not such a fan anymore and will be leaving them on the 12 November. Downtown does not work. Getting around downtown will not be easy and then the no parking does not suit me.

I knew I was going to be in Kingston for the weekend so I decided to check out the local climbing…read moregym. I was a little bit worried about how to find the place. The photos on Google Maps of the building I think must have been for another location. This is just located in the plaza next to the Dollarama. The entrance is next to the giant mural on the outside of the building across. It is very noticeable. If you haven't been here before, you have to fill out a waiver to use the facilities. You can do it before you first check in with the desk because they'll ask you to do it anyways. I was climbing solo so I was informed the desk I would be using the auto belays. After taking care of the waiver and payment ($23 and change for admission), a staff member walked me around the facility and did a quick orientation. Even if you aren't bouldering, you have to do a quick fall test with them. I also had to do a quick auto belay test for harnessing in and a fall. The Boiler Room has it all - a speed route, top rope, lead climbing, bouldering, and auto belays. The only problem is that it's only a tiny bit of everything that isn't bouldering. The top rope area was extremely small and squishy. It was right against the wall of the building and next to the changing area. I want to say it was around 6-7 feet between the wall of the building and the climbing area. Speaking of, the changing rooms are individual stalls like a fitting room in a store. They each have a small chair and a mirror in there. There are washroom stalls that are individual use and for all genders. They have some lockers at the back. They're the cubby hole sized ones and you need to bring your own lock. This is also a squishy area. There aren't a lot of auto belays. They use dry erase tags to label the difficulty of the routes. The big problem with this is that a lot of the levels were rubbed off so if you are a beginner, you might not have any idea of how hard a problem is. In terms of the difficulty, the routes here don't have a lot of options for how you solve them. It honestly seemed like a tall person set these. There were some holds where you'd either have to jump for them if you weren't long enough. The one other thing about the auto belays is that for some reason they swung a lot. Not sure if it was an issue with the mounting. If bouldering is your thing this would be a good gym for it. Other than that I really wouldn't recommend it for a repeat visit.

A small gym with both roped climbing and bouldering (unroped climbing on shorter walls)…read more Disclaimer: I only came her to boulder so that's what my review will be on. For the space limitations, I think BR makes good use of what's available to them. The route setting for the boulder problems range from easy to very hard and keep you engaged no matter what grade you climb. In my opinion the setting is thoughtful and creative. However, I would imagine that if you're a frequent visitor who climbs harder grades then you would get bored. Granted, I'm not sure how often the routes get changed. The grading is based on colours and not V grades and there's a variety of walls from vertical, slab, to roof/overhang. There's a small shop at the front desk that sells harnesses, shoes, guidebooks etc. What I will say about the roped climbing is that the walls appear rather short so not sure how much you could do if you wanted to lead climb. I've also been told by friends that there are a lot of rules around lead climbing at the facility. I think bouldering is your best bet here. Free parking is available at the lot outside.

Not sure why Studio 330 isn't listed on Yelp yet. My…read moreone-and-only favorite yoga studio. If I remember correctly, my first yoga class was a gentle, restorative class with Dallas. And from that moment, I was hooked. I can't remember the last time I've been to a restorative class, because I'm a little obsessed with the power classes. All the instructors (Dallas, Jen, Kathryn, Russell, Jael) and the space is amazing. I used to have an unlimited monthly membership but they are now Kingston's first donation-based yoga centre. The suggested donation is $14 but they really do stress that there is no top or bottom. Check it out - maybe I'll see you there!

I spent 6 weeks in the county this summer and was lucky enough to stumble upon this studio where I joined in on a group class twice a week.  I am recovering from a pregnancy-related injury to my lower back and Vivian was just incredibly knowledgable about the sorts of exercises and stretches I needed to do to engage the correct muscles instead of continually injuring myself.  I've worked with two physical therapists postpartum and while they were both very helpful, the pilates classes ultimately provided me with the most pain relief.   PEC is incredibly lucky to have someone with so much experience, training and empathy.  I hope I can find someone even partially as wonderful now that I'm back home.

The hot room is seriously HOT (which I love!). There is nothing more disappointing then showing up for a hot class that is more like warm or hot-ish. Not a problem at Samatva!

I was encouraged by friends to check out the FORT Strength Performance Centre on Cataraqui Woods Drive, which I did, and it has turned out to be the best decision I have ever made for my mind and body. Strength training is for everyone, regardless of age, ability, body type or even disabilities. I have a traumatic brain injury from multiple concussions. I also struggle with chronic depression and social anxiety disorder. My anxiety does not like change and starting over in new places with unfamiliar people. From my first visit until today's 17th workout, I have felt safe, welcome, and understood by owner Jeff Dawson and his team of experienced coaches. They will safely guide you through Hybrid and Lifestyle workouts that will challenge you mentally as well as physically. Whether your goals are small, big, or yet to be determined, let the staff and members at FORT Strength help you achieve them. We are a small community of caring individuals who will support you and encourage you along your journey to better mental and physical health. Take a chance. I did. You will not be disappointed. We are STRONGER together!

I also needed a gym where I could book sessions à la carte, and the app they use makes scheduling really easy. Overall, a great place to train with knowledgeable coaches and a flexible setup.

There's a good variety of mysore classes as well as lead classes, and the price is reasonable!
