Decided to try out reformer pilates for the first time this year and went to Groove Barre's…read moreintroduction class. It's located on the second floor of the building and once you up the stairs you turn left for the reformer pilates, I believe there's other rooms for other classes on the right. I was greeted by the reception and had to sign a waiver form. You also have to wear pilates socks at this location during your exercises but if you don't have any, they have some for purchase at their studio. Once you walk into the room/ class you're expected to leave all your belongings like purses, wallets and phones at their cubbies since it's a no phone zone when the class is in session. Since I picked an introductory class, the instructor talked us through how to use the reformers and what to expect. During the class, I thought it'd be more useful if the instructor actually showed us how to do certain moves herself so we had a visual, rather than just talking us through the steps. As beginners, it would've been a lot more helpful. Knowing that this was a introductory class, I didn't expect to be sweating and be super sore the next day - which I wasn't. But I definitely felt some muscles being activated that I don't usually target. Overall, it was a great experience and I went back a couple more times after that. Take the introductory class as it really helped with understanding how to use the reformer and how the movements should feel.

I am so happy to have a true reformer studio in this part of North York, and I think the classes…read morehere are really impressive! The studio is a welcome and much needed facility on our neighbourhood. Make note, the visitor parking is tricky to find as you have to go into the underground lot of an adjacent building. On the plus side, parking is free. I recommend calling first to get directions to the lot before you go. Also, it's hard to find information online about pricing. I don't blame the studio for this, as it is a franchise and this is probably a corporate rule, but you might consider calling ahead to find out the details about pricing as well. I think the management of this location is fabulous, friendly and welcoming and the classes are fun and engaging. Definitely worth checking out (and they offer a free intro class!).

Came for a reformers pilates and was hooked!…read more I was greeted by Christina, one of the owners of the studio and she gave me a quick tour of the place, letting me know of all the other workout classes they also offer. The upstairs is where the reformer pilates takes place and is the newer part of the studio. The studio is clean and super welcoming. They have spin, barre classes, mat pilates and reformer pilates. I made my way upstairs where the room was beautifully lit from all the big windows. The workout itself was a 5/5, as it worked me hard! Loved Christina's energy in motivating the class and fixing people's forms if they were off. The music choice was also very good and upbeat. Reformers pilates level 2 is definitely a tough one that will get your body shaking in ways you didn't know it could. I left the class feeling super energized and happy. I can't wait to come back again and again! Would highly recommend this studio for all!

Like other Pilates studios, I think the classes really depend on the teacher and your level of experience. The first class I took was an intermediate class. There were two young girls who had never done reformer before and had accidentally signed up for the intermediate class. I was a little surprised the instructor didn't give them a run down of the machine, I understand it's frustrating to have beginners in a class meant for intermediate students but it's also dangerous to have students on a machine that moves without understanding how the machine works. Other than that instance, I've had good experiences here. Would recommend if you're local!

I tried an intermediate class and the resistance was a bit low but the deep core moves were really challenging.

After the class I felt taller and more lean. Would I Return? Absolutely!
