The space is lovely and super tranquil. The class itself was challenging as somebody who practices yoga frequently but also accessible to my friend who was pretty new to the whole thing. The instructor was lovely (don't remember her name unfortunately) and I'm still feeling it in my muscles 2 days later. Due to the location, I probably won't be a frequent visitor here, but I wouldn't hesitate to make the trip again if the opportunity presented itself.

excellent instructors, beautiful space, great neighborhood, lots of parking. LOVE LOVE LOVEread more

I also saw people getting personal training as well. I took a cardio fitness class and it was great. We did some weights and a cardio workout. Overall I am pleased with this gym and if I lived closer by I would consider buying a pass.

I am new to Halifax area and I have been searching for a gym to call home. I dropped into…read morePalooka's as an alternative to Goodlife. Wow, not only was the staff so friendly, helpful, and nonagressive, but the gym itself is amazing. The view of the bedford basin is beautiful and worth the membership alone. But the gym is not only the cleanest I have ever been in, but well maintained, new equipment, breathtaking change rooms, and an overall great vibe. I have also had the chance to observe some of the trainers at work. I can tell you that I will definately be using their services. Not only do they watch and take care of their clients but they push them. I have seen trainers just tell a client what to do and while the client is performing the task the trainer is looking around and not paying attention. I am excited to start my membership there. I highly recommend going to check this place out if you want a gym that cares about you after you have paid your dues.

Since there are no reviews yet for Therapeutic Approach Yoga Studio I feel much obliged to share my…read moreexperiences. This is a fantastic place to practice! I went to a class at this studio for the first time about two years ago, and this summer bought an unlimited pass and practiced daily. I am currently enrolled in their Yoga Teacher Training program, and have nothing but good things to say about all of the wonderful people who work and train here. If you're thinking about doing your teacher training in Halifax, I recommend their weekends-program. It spans about 9/10 months and gives you a lot of time to practice teaching while going through the course. Mike, Maxine and Leslie focus a great deal of time on proper alignment and anatomy education, which is essential if you're going to be a safe teacher. The studio's focus is Hatha flow yoga; as well many of the teachers also implement principles from the Baptiste tradition. There is a weekly mediation class, as well as a couple of classes dedicated to the Ashtanga tradition. You will also find family yoga, yoga-dance and prenatal classes. The studio has been around for quite some time and you will find regulars and newbies alike attending classes. I recommend giving this studio a whirl. It is a very comfortable and inviting place to further your practice.

I have been attending yoga classes here for a year, and will continue to take classes here for many…read moremore. They have a variety of yoga classes offered every week; all-levels, beginner, intermediate, vin-yin, vinyasa, yin and slow-flow. They even have different types featured throughout the year (massage, acupuncture, sound bath, etc.). Also the instructors are so helpful and very passionate. Today I tried their Infrared Sauna, and it was amazing! If you get a massage or attend a yoga class, you get a discount on using the sauna so that is a huge bonus. I have tried different saunas before and had trouble breathing, but that wasn't the case with this infrared sauna. I'll definitely be using it for this upcoming winter!

It should probably be made much, much bigger to accommodate the crowdedness that one often encounters here...this is especially true of the upstairs weight room where it can be near impossible to get a decent fast paced workout due to the crowds. For such a busy gym, the change rooms are much much too small and smelly, with rather inadequate facilities. What I do like about this gym is the convenient location, relatively low-pressure sales associates (emphasis on relatively), most of the trainers are highly qualified and great at what they do, the front desk staff are very friendly, the gym seems pretty clean and theres a ton of great cardio equipment. That about sums it up for now...I will keep posting updates as my workouts progress.

Been coming here since the Stadacona gym shut a few years ago. I had an excellent personal trainer…read morefor half a dozen sessions to get me started, but sadly he moved out west, so haven't bothered since. A very decent number of cardio stations on the ground floor and plenty of strength machines, benches and weights on the upper level. They have two sets of machines for basic, beginner strength training, one on each deck. I tend to go early, around 0900 and while it can get quite busy, you can usually get to everything you want if you're prepared to vary your routine. Maintenance and repair are a bit of an issue, but I guess they are at the mercy of the manufacturers/suppliers. There used to be a lot of young mothers in the forenoon, with a supervised creche available, but the lockdowns and other restrictions seem to have killed that off. Not even sure if the creche is still running.
