I went tonight to try the gym for the first time. The poster on the street advertised " free…read moresession" as a trial. When I enquired at the desk the staff quoted me $21 drop in fee. I was with my teenage son so it was going to cost $42.... She said it was because it was busy, which I saw one person on the cardio equipment through the window. I feel like I didn't fit their standard for a desirable customer. Not sure what other reason they would have to turn me away. Don't believe the advertising. It is based on the staff's bias of you,

Allow me to make myself clearer, during the 1 year I was a member they've changed managers over 5 times and all of them turned out to be Incompetent, immature and also poorly trained, the later one specially which I believe still manages the space today, Milos, tried hard at the beginning to please me into leaving a better review but turned out to be yet another useless member of Gold's Staff. Not only useless, when I last complained about their system charging me a late fee even though I paid the membership on time, Milos became extremely condescending, laughing at my face while saying "I never make mistakes, if It was someone else charging your fee, I would believe you" All that, while I had a receipt in my hands proving my payment time and date. Milos won't last long, but Gold's seems to keep on sucking no matter the manager they seem to find. Do yourself a favour, NEVER JOIN GOLD'S GYM! Their payment system is predatory, they will charge you without consent, fake times of payment so to make you pay extra fees which are also extremely overcharged coming to be twice as big as the original biweekly charge and they will make you feel as if you are the one at wrong. So to my last try at Gold's Gym of Terror simply to keep myself from having to pay yet another fee which I actually already had paid, I've had to argue for hours with them, compelling to all the hours they've made me waste over the 12 months in order to get myself out of the gym without further charges. DO NOT REGISTER AT GOLD'S GYM, ANY OTHER GYM IS BETTER, SERIOUSLY, ANY. All that is my opinion though, register at your own risk.

The studio has a great buzz of energy and it's a boutique style setting (hip, trendy, clean with bright orange walls and colourful cycling photos). The smaller class size was particularly helpful with the details of proper Yoga poses. I've taken two yoga classes so far (one with Tianne and one with Alan) and they have both been great. I've done a number of different styles of Yoga over the years and I especially enjoyed the classes at Fit Fx because they are specialized toward athletes. I'm not an elite athlete at the moment but attending the yoga classes has helped to stretch out problem areas and muscles that have been tight for years from different sports. In particular, I have a tendency toward tight shoulders and upper legs and in the two classes at Fit fx, I learned variations on Yoga poses that were wildly more effective than I had learned in other Yoga studios. Everyone was so friendly and inspirational that I may actually get caught up in the energy of the full program of classes and get back into training for an event. It was fun to hear the buzz about upcoming races as people were chatting before and after class. I walked out feeling like I'd just had a sports massage and also a workout. I fully recommend it!

UPDATE: Everything I listed in my review below was the truth…read morefrom my interaction & experience with The Hot Box Yoga. I have all emails & social media screenshots to back me up in case of any legal dispute. I will not be updating or responding to any further attempts by said biz owner to bicker publicly. After I had posted the original review below, biz owner Chris left a public response, in which he made up lies about our interactions, and posted up my private personal info (full name & Instagram handle). In his response, he was deflecting from the real issue (that they made a mistake with the pass expiry date, said they fixed it, but never did). He did NOT address or mention this mistake in his response at all, instead choosing to focus on an earlier denied pass extension request that I had already accepted was denied. He also stated (for all you future customers) that The Hot Box Yoga Sale passes are for people who "cannot afford" to use their studio at regular prices. His abusive & customer privacy-violating response was flagged & has since been removed by Yelp HQ. In all my very little (3 short emails & 2 Instagram comments in total) communication with The Hot Box Yoga, I have only been polite & stated facts, hoping they would fix the pass expiry mistake they had made. I have never requested for any compensation, nor have I ever expected any from them. When the mistake was never fixed despite my attempts to reach them, I left the review simply to let others know about my personal experience dealing with this studio. I'm sure anyone who sees this will have a better idea of their operations & customer service standards after reading this. - Original review below: Used to be a fan of The Hot Box Yoga for a few years now, but this recent incident has showed me how their operations are and how they treat customers. They made a mistake on a Black Friday sale pass, which wound up expiring two days before the advertised date. Both my friend & I had bought this pass. When I reached out to them via email, the owner Sarah claimed to have fixed the issue, but did not actually do so. As a result, we were unable to book classes on the last 2 days. Upon trying to reach them politely again on social media to get the issue fixed for good, they blocked me. (Funny thing was, they were even following & interacting with me before, because I was always posting positive pics & tweets about their classes & events. My social media followers will know this for a fact.) Issue was never resolved, emails sent were ignored. We were unable to use the remaining classes on our class passes. It is obvious that they did not want to fix the mistake, nor did they want this legit customer issue to be known anywhere public. Terribly disappointed and never returning back here again. Fellow yogis, always be sure to check your pass expiry dates - even if they made a mistake with the dates, they will not fix it!

Their online site is easy to use and at the checkout there was an option for first timers. I chose a 4 pm class but plans changed and we needed the 10am class. Unfortunately I couldn't get ahold of anyone on the phone but read walk ins were welcomed so I figured we'd give it a shot. I was right! We were greeted by Sarah and she kindly welcomed us into the 10am class (which we got there with minutes to spare). She assisted us with mat rentals, water, and reassured my partner that though this was her first time, she'll be fine. Sarah is a great instructor, even helping my partner with some poses. We would absolutely get a membership if we lived here or were even staying longer! Very clean and pleasant. She also suggested taking the scenic route back downtown--which we did. Great experience!

There are many botanical decorations inside the nest, making it so comfortable to study here. I love coming here especially in the grad lounge because it has a wonderful view to the mountain. The 4th floor has a bar with nice view too. If you just wanna study outside, there are tables in the balcony of 4th floor that you can study and enjoy the sunlight at the same time.
