It's a complete gong show in between two classes, lots of people going in and out, and waiting to use the washroom. That's not a very relaxing, grounding way to start a class. The yoga instructor didn't introduce herself, and didn't ask if anyone is injured. Throughout the class, she didn't provide modification in postures besides chaturanga. Towards the last 10-15 minutes, because people are waiting for next class outside, the wind down and savasana portion was getting pretty loud, definitely not how I want to end a class.

The virtual classes are taught via Zoom and the acoustics are surprisingly very good. I can hear the instructor and the music. So far the Beat Repeat, Bellyfit Flow and barre classes are my favourite -- they are at a good pace with small class size. The lunch hour 40 min and the 5:30pm workouts totally work with my work schedule! There's free 1 hour street parking around the building and also underground parking on Esmond st entrance The Beat Studio shares their space with Life Preservers First Aid, so be sure to look for their signage I can't wait to try the in-studio classes!

A complete waste of my money. I went to ONE workout, my very first, and severely sprained my knee…read moreand ankle. Like, POP and I screamed and fell to the ground in crazy pain. The trainer did NOTHING. She asked if I was ok as I sat on the floor in agony. I was the only person working out at that moment so you could HEAR the pop. I asked if I could have an ice pack or if they had a first aid kit and she said they did not. I asked if I could at least have a water from the refrigerator so I could stop the swelling and she did grant me that (but I had to give it back). I reported this and asked if I could end my contract but they did not allow me so I paid FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. It's a year and a half later now and I'm still recovering from this. I'm still getting, "We miss you" emails from them which has engorged my rage and prompted me to warn others about this. If this doesn't stop you from signing up, check out their hours. They are absolutely HORRIBLE. For a person with regular work hours, not convenient at all. Unless you like live like right next door. Oh, yeah, another issue I had was I moved to Vancouver suddenly, like a week after signing up. Nope. Not convenient at all. They rope you in with this "woman safe space" which is complete BS when they obviously don't care about you, even when you get injured RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

I signed up for the one class and ended up taking 4! It's hard but short and sweet. The movements are hard and the choreography is detailed but the instructors were all incredibly kind and patient.

The classes were all different and extremely engaging. After my week of barre, I was hooked! I highly recommend you trying out this place! It's a nice addition to your workout routine. A bit pricey but a great way to use different muscles!

I've been going to this location of Cardio Core now for the last two month and I am loving it and…read moreworking harder than I have in a year. Seriously. Kim Kirstiuk is the main instructor and owner of this franchise and she is an excellent trainer. She pushes you, motivates you, varies exercises so it's never boring and makes you work every muscle. After the first class, I literally could not get out of bed the next day. But it's nice to know that those muscles all still work and exist in my body! In addition to making boot campers work really hard, Kim is also very sweet and it's really easy to feel included in the whole group no matter what your fitness level is. And talking about added value to your workout, Kim also writes a weekly blog about fitness tips, additional exercises, stretches, healthy recipes. She even sent out a diet plan put together by a nutritionist (I believe). Lastly, what I really love about this boot camp is that it's quite flexible for my ever changing and busy schedule. I've signed up for the morning classes. However, if I miss one, I love to know that I can always make it up by going to the evening class. This is something really important to me, because as a student, my schedule is always crazy.

That being said, I liked that this studio requires headphones so everyone is focused on their own form. It is also a slightly bigger class size (max 16) compared to other reformer pilates class but that doesn't take away the instructors focus on their students! Lagree focus more on toning and endurance so you'll feel yourself growing stronger but not necessarily growing muscles like you're weight training. It is also a lot of core work I love Kiki and Bouse's classes the most, Kiki is super attentive to her students and remembers them by name. She also adds variations so you can pick your own difficulty level to do. Bouse's leg section are a KILLER, it always hurts to walk the next day haha

However, I do understand where they're coming from. It's their job to make a sale. I don't blame them for being pushy. As for the cleanliness, I could only speak for the areas I see. The women's washrooms are definitely clean. The gym floor is also tidy, and the equipment is grouped nicely and well maintained. I did get the 6-month personal training. I did this to make sure I'm doing the correct excise for the right muscles. I'm not gym savvy, so I need help in this area. My PT's name is Elaine. She's wonderful. She does not only teach you the form, she tells who which muscle groups should be engaged and why it is important to work those muscles out. I am very much pleased with my training as I learn a lot. I am making the most out of it. As for my gym membership, I've only managed to take advantage of bodyjam class. This is a dance class and is so much fun. I like Maureen and Glen. I think they're both cool. I have yet to take the yoga class and RPM class (spin class). I'm pretty sure I will enjoy them too. One thing that needs improvement is the reception desk. I think some people at the reception are lazy. When I tried to leave a message for my PT, I was told that it's no guarantee that the message would reach my PT. WTH! Is it so hard to walk over the gym floor, look for the PT, and give the message?! I will not leave a message if it's not important. Duh!? Overall I would still recommend this gym. Oh and did I mention it's open 24 hrs?!!!

Pretty unsanitary facility, the water tastes like there's mold in the lines, the front desk staff are usually pretty good, but anybody operating the rest of their customer service issues are rude, unhelpful, and ultimately just want to charge you for any fee they can. The price is very high for what you're getting. The classic gym that just wants you to sign a contract, and then bill you any and every chance they get. Their system repeatedly said my payment had declined (spoke with Visa, they had no part in this, and I am never even close to my limit, nor do I have this experience with the other dozen auto payments I have on my card). Repeatedly tried to resolve this with them, to no avail. To cancel? More fees, late charges, and additional membership payments due to their "policies". If you want to hit some barbell movements during peak hours, it's an alright gym. If you want a remotely positive experience, in absolutely any way, do NOT go to this gym.
