The training was so well done with the two teachers that I am now considering doing my 300 HR training here. I highly recommend this for new and seasoned teachers. It is warm and welcoming.

I came here twice on a recent work-related trip to Ottawa. The location is fantastic, literally…read morenext door to a great restaurant, town, and close to a lot. The 2nd floor space is really gorgeous -- lots of attention to detail from little potted plants and clean hardwood floors (with stickers, so people know where to line up their mats to maximize space in busy classes -- so smart!). There is just 1 studio but it is spacious with lots of props available. There is a small boutique, and the women's change room has 2 showers as well as small lockable cubbies if you bring a lock. They have filtered water for your water bottle. Washrooms are across the hall. I felt immediately welcome and the girl at reception was really nice. The 2nd time I came, I was also warmly greeted. I like that they have a wide variety of classes, clearly marked on the schedule as room temperature, warm, and hot. I did a warm "go with the flow" class, which was like a vinyasa style and could be as rigorous as you wanted. I also went to a morning community flow ($10 drop-in), which was also great, with lots of hands-on adjustments and relaxing, non-intrusive music. Both teachers I had were friendly and open in their approach. The other students were from all levels and backgrounds. It does seem like a place where anyone would be welcome and if I lived in Ottawa, I could see myself becoming a regular here. For any info, see their website -- it's very nicely laid out and had lots of info so I knew what to expect.

Elevate is one of 2 downtown yoga studios that are the class of the neighbourhood…read more A major reno took place when the current owners took over the studio space from Santosha yoga. The rebrand to "Elevate" and the complete rebirth of the physical studio has made it clean, warm, inviting and super zen. The staff and instructors (I have a soft spot in my yoga heart for Miska) are fantastic. Classes range for all levels and includes classic yin, flow and hot options. There are temperature choices too for those who would like to have a variety of classes. Please note that the hot classes are truly "drip, drip, drip" classes. There is pretty much a class at your fingertips from 6:15 am (hard core types) to 9:00 pm (time to sweat it out and go for a beer). I've found that the class participants are a nice mix of young/not-so-young, men/women, newbies/yogipros. I recommend trying one of the "ball/tuneup" classes. They will change your life ... or what you thought was your life. Ample changerooms, lockers and showers for men and women. Students are welcome. Discounts available. Lots of packages to suit your busy lifestyle. Yoga mats and towels can be rented. Yes, it's on the 2nd floor and there are stairs, so there is an accessibility issue. Close to the great Elgin Street buzz post workout. Lots of parking and bicycle racks. Get Bent. Namaste. elevateyoga.ca

I have to say, it was love at first gym here! The variety of cardio machines is excellent. They…read moreseem to have at least one of everything. The gym is also very well equipped with machines for bodybuilding. There's a great turf area that's perfect for HYROX-style training, cardio circuits, or ab-focused workouts. Honestly, they have pretty much everything you could think of. Each locker room also has a functioning sauna. I also have to give credit to Lyne and the staff because they really pay attention to the details and make the space a comfortable place to work out without feeling bothered. And Koda the pupper is definitely a bonus! Priced fair and has deals! Je dois dire que ça a été le coup de foudre dès ma première visite dans ce gym! La variété des machines de cardio est excellente. Ils semblent avoir au moins un modèle de tout. Le gym est aussi très bien équipé en machines pour le bodybuilding. Il y a également une belle section de turf, parfaite pour les entraînements de type HYROX, les circuits cardio ou les séances axées sur les abdos. Honnêtement, ils ont pratiquement tout ce qu'on peut imaginer. Chaque vestiaire possède aussi un sauna fonctionnel. Je veux aussi souligner Lyne et le personnel, car ils portent attention aux détails et rendent l'endroit vraiment confortable pour s'entraîner tranquillement, sans être dérangé. Et Koda le petit chien est définitivement un beau bonus! Prix justes avec deals!

We've been regulars since the gym opened 13 months ago. Personally, I've seen great improvements in my strength and mobility, and I've even managed to alleviate my neck stiffness and dizziness by receiving guidance and support from the trainers to focus on building my lats to reduce strain on my traps.

They have long hours too and a very attentive staff. The only downside is the price. True training regimes are routinely in the $150 every two weeks range, which I find very high, but they seem to deliver results. If the price were just a bit more reasonable, I would give them five stars. All in all a great little gym that is part of a Quebec-wide network. Loving it so far!

Great Gym and very convenient. However, anytime fitness is a company with some greasy tactics. They…read moretell you that you can pause your membership for as long as you want, then leave out the part that the membership will automatically start up again after 3 months. This cost me and my friend a substantial amount of money. Another thing is that when you want to cancel your membership, they suddenly inform you that once you cancel it, you have to commit to paying for 2 more 27$ charges. So now once I've cancelled, I have to pay another $55 to just get out of my contract. Anytime Fitness (if you're listening), realize that I was a committed customer of yours for over a year that really loved your gym. I had to cancel because I'm out of a town for a summer job, but it's safe to say that I will never return to Anytime Fitness due to your unfair and greasy business tactics.

I started doing Pilates because I hadn't tried it, thought it might help my core strength, and probably wouldn't hurt my feet. I didn't anticipate that it would help my feet. As a result of the core stability that I've gained, I have started running again and am over-the-moon. Everyone that I have interacted with at Pilates Space has been great, whether it's Laura and Charlie responding to my emails, doing private sessions with Charlie and Nataliya, or doing duet classes with Charlie and Jane. Charlie took a particular interest in my foot issues and made some recommendations on Melt Method techniques I could use to alleviate the tension, which I have used at home with great success. At first I didn't like that I needed to complete and Intro program to be able to participate in group classes, but after doing the program I realized it's value: I learned a lot, I met a number of instructors, and now that I know how classes progress, I won't be a nuisance with too many questions. I have always found the space to be clean and the lockers (in the women's change room, at least) have key locks available for free - note: not all the lockers have locks, so you might to have a back-up lock with you. I'm not a Pilates guru but I like being in places where I feel valued and appreciated and where other class members talk to each other, and I get this from Pilates Space.
