I highly recommend this Martial Arts studio for classes and birthday parties. The owner has…read morepersonally worked on Hunger Games, Star Trek 3, and Warcraft! I've had parties for both my children at Ryouko and the staff here go above and beyond to keep the kids engaged and make the birthday boy or girl feel very special. They start the kids off with a basic Martial Arts class and they move into some really fun activities, which you can choose and tailor to your age group and preferences. Some of these games have included, Parkour tag, tug of war, dodgeball, etc. The studio is very clean and safe. Parents and adults can sit and relax while the kids get all their energy out with these structured activities. The staff help with everything to make for a very smooth party. HIGHLIGHTS: 1. My favourite part of the celebration is when we sing Happy Birthday and staff help the birthday boy, my son, cut his cake with a Samurai sword. 2. The birthday child gets to break a wooden board with a single punch in front of all their friends. Quite the confidence builder. 3. Birthday child gets a special gift from the studio. Ie. A cool t-shirt or hat. 4. The price is super reasonable. The best value I have seen for a party like this. 5. Plenty of plaza parking and right off the highway. Great place and amazing staff!

My children have been attending Ryouko since 2010. We are very impressed with the skills and…read moreknowledge the instructors possess. They are very motivating and committed to the kids. The leadership program is a fantastic program where junior black belts and black belts can learn to become instructors. I have seen my children's self-esteem and confidence grow and have heard nothing but positive comments from teachers at their schools. It is nice to hear that my kids are respectful to others and are great role models. I recommend Ryouko to everyone.

I cannot say enough about Therapeutic Massage I received from West Rough Massage clinic by Raj…read more Raj is a model of professional excellence. Prior to meeting with Raj, I had progressive back pain and difficulty using lower body to complete everyday tasks. Especially trying to do my daily duties with my kids. Working with Raj, my back improved tremendously. In addition, I gained awareness of influencing factors. Every session with Raj was productive. Raj was a good communicator and made sure he understood what I needed in our session. Was very professional and highly skilled. So excited that I found someone I feel comfortable going to and knows what he is doing. I look forward to many more visits. Thank you Raj for providing me true healing experience .....very professional.

My son starting seeing Bonnie when he was 1.5 years old. He had a mix of private and group classes…read moreand I couldn't be happier with the instructors and the way the place was run. Bonnie did everything in her power to ensure that my son was happy and learning at his own pace. He is almost 3 and impresses everyone at the pool with his water skills - even me! If we hadn't moved to a different city I would have kept him there until he finished the entire program. B&C came highly recommended by a fellow parent and I wanted to pass the recommendation forward. If you have any issues, ever, just voice them respectfully to Bonnie and she will always do her best to accommodate. Thank you Bonnie for helping my child be water safe.

Totally agree with Steve B. and Wendy C…read more We signed up right before the pandemic started. They were quick to invoice and re-register you, but then they wouldn't let you book your make up sessions because they signed up a fresh crop and took all the spots. We had our 3 signed up, they had lessons on the same night but only 1 teacher, so they each got a bout 10 minutes every session. Very little communication on progress, on next steps, on areas to focus. Often had different teachers so it was hard to establish any kind of rapport. I was told to email every Monday to check on spots for make-ups, but rarely got an email back. But they sure as heck didn't hesitate to try and sign us up for the next term. Even though we had a balance of make-ups still owed. The owner is a bit rough around the edges in terms of customer service and communication. It's run like a cup cake stand. Also, pretty sure Karen K. in the reviews works there FYI. Steer Clear!

In The Spirit Yoga Studio is a great neighbourhood yoga studio if you do live in the area…read more All the staffs, instructors and even the students are all friendly and nice... You will get to know some friends really soon if you becomes a regular. This helps especially with the spacious and nicely decorated lounge area where you can have a cup of tea/coffee or even a glass of wine after the class and just chit chat! The practice room though is really small... can fit 10 yoga mats (remind me of having a class in my own basement, since there is not windows). With the small class size, you do get a lot of personal attentions....which is always great for any yoga practice. The therapeutic class I attended was just perfect for me as the instructor concentrated on and isolated movement mainly on the shoulder area. Wish the class is a little longer... 60 minute is just too short! If you want to experience a more personal and laid back yoga studio, In The Spirit might be perfect for you. BTW, they also serves food and wine since it is also a Wine Lounge... Yoga and Wine... maybe I just found my Bliss...

Awful Customer Service & The Equivalent of Bad Car Salesmen for Fitness Studios:…read moreTheir equipment itself isn't bad, it's more so the ambiance, lack of care from staff (notably Fred) that destroys the experience leaving you mentally and emotionally drained rather than the physical high that you're supposed to feel when you leave the gym. I was scouting around for gyms as my current gym membership is ending. I reached out to Club1 for a free trial and they sent me quite a few trial promos for about 2-3 months. I eventually got a trial message for a free month promo. Given the fact that they've been actively trying to get me to try their gym for 2-3 months I finally decided to go. This is when I met Fred Hempstead - arguably the most unprofessional and unseasoned salesperson I have ever encountered. When I entered the gym to meet him, he asked me what I was looking for in a gym and I told him on multiple occasions that I'm looking to trial gyms before committing and I jumped on this promo as it would give me a good sense of what the gym is like. He made me sign waivers (standard for all gym passes/trials) However, he NEVER let me know that this was a membership that I was signing up for, NEVER let me know that there was a 10 day policy to cancel before terminating. Quite frankly and most alarmingly, he NEVER went through any terms of this false "membership". You are supposed to go through and explain all terms and conditions of a contract with a potential client - this is a standard of care that was omitted and never ever performed by their "managing director" Also, why would you send an advertisement stating one free month pass when it's truly just a 10 day pass..? Mind you, there's not even fine print on the ad either. I was also offered a 3D Body Scan as a "value add" promo booked on July 4th at 7pm by Fred. I go to the gym at that time on a tiring Monday after work and low and behold the staff member has no idea what I'm talking about. She doesn't see my name she doesn't see anything booked and I tell the lady here that this is a value add service for my free month trial. I ask her what this service is anyways and she tells me that it's rare that they do this for free month trials - it's usually for only more serious customers. Then she tells me she knows nothing about my trial or the booking and she'll talk to Fred tomorrow. Key things to note now: 1a). She has no idea about the terms of my free trial/promotion 1b). She could have looked to see what kind of promotion/membership status I have on the system to let me know that I've been mislead by ads, coerced into signing, and let me know right there what I have unwillingly and seemingly unlawfully signed for. 2. There's clearly a lack of care on booking appointments or letting people know appointments are cancelled also given that this was booked by the managing director, Fred, and there's no notice or responsibility - what is he really managing?! Fred calls the next morning, and given the fact that the representative yesterday said that this service is for more serious clients and I'm still trialing - I actually ask Fred again to confirm that this is just a month free trial as I am still unsure if I'm going to commit. Fred doesn't confirm or deny he just says its a value add service. Let's Recap! At this point this is now THREE times that someone could have told me that this was a full membership I unwillingly and was completely unaware that I signed up for (in the beginning with Fred, with the lady working on July 4th, and again with Fred on the phone the morning of July 5th) Mind you, only 7 days after I unwillingly signed. I visited the gym maybe 2 more times, but it's not my vibe. There's not a lot of people in the gym so it feels slow in there sometimes, there's no air conditioning, and the determining deterrent for me was the large group of people standing outside (mostly old men) lingering and basically having a whole parking lot party at 8pm - it didn't feel safe. After my month trial ended on July 27th I got an invoice for roughly $140. I emailed told them I won't be proceeding after the month, called them and asked what this was about given that I only had a free month trial. The lady had no idea either and of course she sent it to Fred who seems to be the only person who knows about these supposed free trials. Fred emails back and he tells me it's now my 1st invoice for my membership. I'm honestly SHOCKED out of my mind as I'm seeing this invoice before 8 in the morning and beyond annoyed because as mentioned earlier why wasn't this membership mentioned earlier?! There were 3 times that this could have been addressed, the ads were completely misleading, and his staff clearly had no idea who I was, what their promos entail, who is receiving what promo, and why is Fred the only one in charge of this? BBB and the Competition Bureau of Canada have been contacted for negligence and misleading ads and Club1 still doesn't have a solution
