After trying out several classes, I worked with the instructors to determine what would work best for me as I was recovering from a back injury. Sean Waldie's Eldoa classes became my go to. His knowledgeable and passionate approach to his craft made the difference for me. He made sure we all knew what the exercises were that we were doing, why we were doing them and how to get the most out of each class. He even filmed me performing my personalized stretches using my phone while explaining each step, so I could do these exercises at home. Sean is an inspiration, and I can't recommend his classes enough... no matter who you are. The Loft is one of the things I will miss most in the Junction when I move. If you are curious, drop in and I promise you won't be disappointed.

The instructors are amazing and every class that I have done has fundamentally changed my approach to Pilates. They are so excellent, and can detect the minute corrections that you need to make to have the biggest impact on your practice. This studio exposed me to ELDOA, which I am sure will be the next big thing in Toronto. Check them out, challenge yourself to get in tune with what is happening with your body and believe me, you won't regret it. LOVE this studio and all of the instructors. Sean and Riikka are super fantastic!! I totally love their approach. They do group (mat and reformer), private and semi-private.

I have only ever gone for restorative yoga and only ever with Leslie so I can't comment on different class styles or teachers, but the hour and a half of those classes are not only my most relaxed version of myself EVER but also just the nicest experience. I brought my mother (usually very high strung, not a yoga fan) and she LOVED it too. Please book a session, especially restorative, it's amazing !

The studio was pretty hard to find inside the church, but I eventually found it. I was under the impression that it would be a reformer class, but it was all on the mat. There was only one reformer, maybe two anyway. When I walked into the studio, the sub was using the reformer and asked if I could give her a few minutes since she hasn't had any time to herself all day. I didn't arrive super early; this was just two minutes before class was scheduled to start. I wasn't going to bother her; I just wanted to get my mat set up. As a fitness instructor myself, I would never ask a client to leave the room two minutes before class so that I could have time to myself. But I guess everyone is different. The class was decent. Not really very challenging, but the instructor's cueing and correction of form was excellent. I can tell she has a lot of Pilates experience.

But I'm thinking of switching gyms for the following reasons: - issues with signing up - unsuitable washrooms - volume of music To me, these are red flags, but you decide if they bother you. Here are the details: 1. At first, when you talk to them about signing up, they'll give you one price, but once your credit card is out, they come up with this bs "maintenance fee" that you have to pay 3 or 4 times a year. This is after I had explicitly asked her if the initial price she gave me was "the real price", and if it really included everything. "Absolutely!", I was told. That's just plain dishonest and doesn't bode well for how they run their business. 2. You should be aware that there are only 3 individual washrooms -- each washroom has a toilet, sink and shower. That means that it's not possible to use the washrooms at all sometimes. People have to stand in line to wait for someone to get out of the shower before they can use the restroom. 3. The music if often way too loud. I've been to many gyms in my life, and I've never found music volume to be an issue. People typically wear earphones with their own music or podcast, so why does the gym's music have to be blaring? I find it strange to complain about something like this, but I honestly can't hear my own music over the gym's. Sometimes, they put a radio station on, which is even worse since the commercials are even louder than the music. I've told them about this three times, and I've gotten contradictory responses: "We don't control the music, it comes from corporate." "Whoever is working decides what they want to listen to." "This is a gym, we need to have music." (as if I asked them to turn it off completely). I did notice that in the little staff office, there are no speakers; they might have to crank it up in order to hear it. If that's the reason, it points to another issue altogether.

From the very beginning of tango lessons at Rhythm & Motion Dance Studio we realized that for the…read morefirst time in our tango experience we were getting not only lessons with just different combinations of tango steps but we joined a well designed system of tango education. Especially it became clear for us when we went to Buenos Aires on the trip organized by Elizabeth to see and feel the origins of tango. Our trip to BA has changed our attitude and understanding of tango. Elizabeth was sincerely trying to show us the best of BA tango flavor. Her dedication to tango and her tremendous efforts to get us to every tango related activity and place really made a difference in our understanding of tango origins and culture. During our BA trip with Elizabeth, we saw her from a different side, not only as a skilled teacher and accomplished dancer but also as a caring person who was trying to make sure that we love everything about tango. We tried BA food, did shopping, and lived tango-house life, with lessons every day and milongas every night. We were astonished by the level of energy Elizabeth could maintain through the days in BA, the main source of which is her love and contagious passion for tango, so we got tango bug too and it looks like forever...
