There are so many adjectives of adoration that I can use to describe Mandee, the woman who runs…read moreYogaHeart. She teaches with such love, presence and warmth, that it is impossible not to find her at once lovely and inspirational. Mandee often teaches out of a church hall in Dartmouth. The space is wonderful, with vaulted ceilings and natural light. The classes are open to anyone, of every physical fitness level. Her classes can be physically challenging, but for me, have been more about residing in a sense of peace and awareness, opposed to a rigorous workout - which is a challenge in itself! The vibe is one of gratitude and happiness, fostered by Mandee's ability to draw people together. Her genuine joy and palpable love for yoga makes taking her classes a treat and a privilege. The cost is very reasonable; far cheaper than standard studios throughout the HRM and there is a sliding scale if cost is an issue. YogaHeart is wonderful way to start out your yogic journey, or perhaps to add to your already advanced practice. Classes are peaceful and centered, all guided expertly care of a loving and patient yogini.

Two words meet and make the perfect marriage: Yogaheart. Its true that this little yogic journey is…read morea spot that thrives on heart and soul of good founding structure. With another location in Dartmouth, Yogaheart is a well spread outlet for Haligonians to try. The classes are gifted with high regard, expertise, and with the steady goodness for inner and outer experiences. Summertime means that the class schedule has relaxed a bit, but this is a great time to go and get comfortable with your practice. YogaHeart is the home of a few fantastic instructors-- the combination of passion, kindness and expertise transcends into high caliber classes. I'd recommend this venue to all interested in pursuing yoga times. Experts, beginners, or those just looking to add a new element of practice, YogaHeart is exactly what the yogi mentality stands for.

I have recently joined Nubodys in Clayton Park. I went and had my first assessment which Janice who…read morewas just amazing. She is the supervisor of the trainers. She gave me great pointers and some helpful hints to help me along my way. Great equipment and about 10 pieces of each so that you are not waiting around to be able to use it. As well there are great classess happening each day at all different times to fit your schedule. One thing that I wanted to say that completed frustrated me to the point which I really do not feel like go back to this location is one of the trainers was putting on a class which I signed up for really had no idea what she was doing. I showed up and she said that special class was cancelled. Oh I did not get a call. So she then continues to say well let me see what I can do for next week and I will call you. Well that did not happen she did not call me and I have not been back to this location since.

I used to come to this gym on a regular basis a couple years ago and ventured it a couple days ago…read more The great thing was that they renovated some of the areas and got new machines, etc. I went in on a Saturday one time at around 9:30 - after like 10-10:30 - it started to get really busy as more and more people kept coming in. Good thing that there's plenty of machines to use. Staff was pretty pleasant and willing to help me with any questions I had. I give it a 3 star rating because I find the Burnside location is much better and newer!

Nubody's in Clayton Park is an all women gym facility. I've been a member for a few months now, and…read moream having great success. I've had an opportunity to work closely with a personal trainer by the name of Lisa Tilley and wouldn't trade her for the world! Lisa is motivating, educated, patient and understanding. She helps me with my work out and also gives me great advice for my diet. When I first met with Lisa, she asked me a number of questions to ensure she understood my fitness needs and goals. She truly did listen to what I struggled with and has since motivated me enough to stick with an exercise program! Nubody's is a little more expensive than a few other gyms, but it's well worth the money. I pay biweekly which helps me with my budgeting and I get to pay through payroll deductions. I actually receive a corporate discount. Being a member of an all-womens gym seems to be less intimidating and I really enjoy it!

This Nubody's, one of two in Clayton Park, is a women's only facility and is one of the newer…read moreNubody clubs. On the plus side, the gym is modernly designed and is very clean, and is a nice looking place to work out in. On the downside, in comparison to some of the other gyms, this gym is overly crowded with equipment and people, and could greatly benefit from an expansion. The gym tends to get uncomfortably warm during busy times especially the upstairs yoga studio. Also, the gym does not offer all of the same equipment as some other Nubody's - for example their is no stand up calf-machine and only one set of 20 lbs hand-weights. Overall, a nice club, but for practicality reasons I would choose to do my workout at another Nubody's.

Today I went on a recommendation from a friend to the Massage Addict. This is not my regular…read morelocation to go but I thought I would give it a chance. Walking in I was greeted by a friendly woman, rude of me not to get her name but she was very helpful. Massage Addict is actually a membership based massage therapy location which long story short means $50 for a 1 hours massage. Yes you have to sign up for 12 months but you can leave at any point.. This location is actually pretty new. Nice decorated with a vibrant green wall when you first walk in which is very eye catching. Nice white leather coach to relax while waiting. Micheal actually gave me my massage and he was very good, very strong I did not know weather to cry or hug him. But the most important thing my back feels 100% better and this was my first one. I have already booked for March and I can not wait. Oh yeah they are starting the week of Feb 21 with Esthetics's services as well and the prices are very reasonable. Some of the services that they offer are Beyond Brazilian I can just imagine but other then waxing they will do Facial care as well as Nails. I will post a picture tomorrow for you..

Only this year did I discover that I have $500 on my medical plan at work for things like massages,…read morechiro, etc. This benefit extends to my spouse as well. Having felt quite frustrated with my insurance company as of late and getting more so as the months go on, I decided this was a nice way to relax and also "avenge" myself by ensuring that we are sucking every last dollar out that we're entitled to on our plan. I haven't had a lot of experience with getting massages (none in fact) but as a business these guys are solid. Friendly front desk staff, and the therapists are professional and friendly. I always walk out of there feeling a little more relaxed and a little less tense. The introductory rate can't be beat and the monthly membership is definitely a savings. And as with all benefits I put it on my credit card for the points and then have my insurance company reimburse :) #winning

Her warmth and gentle manner create a safe and nurturing environment. I love the setting - a great room in the United Memorial Church that is spacious and adds to the spirituality of the class. She gives classes several times a week at the church as well as at Halifax Dance on Barrington and whether you're a yoga old timer or wanting to try it out for the first time, I recommend Isha.

I have been going to this location since shortly after it opened & the reason I am so committed to this studio is that it is never boring. It is fresh, always new & invigorating.

This clinic is located right inside the Canada Games Centre, in the hall next to the gym. Here is what I liked about my experience. The receptionists that I met were welcoming and professional and made sure I had all the right forms to fill in. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. My appointment with Mark Hansen, the physiotherapist, went very well. He was very gentle, very thorough and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions and has great knowledge of your muscles. He told me how to get rid of the pain through certain exercises. I would highly recommend this clinic to others because it was professionally run. Just ask for Mark at LifeMark. Easy name, great results.
