The facility offers everything from steam rooms, saunas, the Dead Sea salt hot pool, the hot Epsom salt pool, to the cold water plunge pool. There are instructions everywhere - on the walls and in the lockers - telling you the next step in the process. It's very customer-friendly! What stands out is that the facilities are state of the art. The Dead Sea salt pool even has massage water jets, and the water quality is tested several times a day. I personally saw a staff member testing the water quality! This is great for anyone with a cleanliness obsession. Two final points: this is a women-only space, and phones are not allowed. The photos I've shared are from the official website, which maintains a high level of privacy. The service is excellent and the place is incredibly clean! Upon entering, you are asked to fill out a medical history form, and they inquire if you need any medical accommodations. Such thoughtful and considerate service!

I am hottub, sauna, spa connoisseur! My aging body demands quality hot water and saunas. I was…read morevisiting Toronto from the U.S. on a work related trip and was desperate for hot water so paid the full $85 ($90 with tax) to get in for the last 45 minutes and was sorely disappointed. The sauna was barely warm. The main pool was luke warm; albeit relaxing to move in, as I was the only one using it. The supposed "hot" pool was not warmer than my hottub at home that we keep at 104, so must've only been around 101 my guess. And yes, the 2 other women that were there were chatting up a storm, so not your relaxing, spa type environment. The staff, though, were very kind and helpful. I'd say if you have time and the same amount of money, head an hour east to Thermea spa, which is well worth the time and money!

Octopus Garden is radiating with positive vibe. When we checking in the front staffs were super nice and friendly. This is the first time we visited the studio wanting to use our passport to prana but we were advised that the first class is FREE!! and we are more than welcome to come back to use our passport again for another complimentary class! Sweet The Restorative Class was at the maximum capacity on this Sunday afternoon. Mat to Mat and don't even think about personal space...but since it is a restorative class and most of the poses are passive so it was ok. Tons of props: blankets, cushions, straps, blocks, eye pillows... and ACUBALLS!! This is the only yoga studio I experienced the Acuball (http://www.acuball.com/)..and it feels so good and relaxing especially on this cold winter day! I was snoring as usual...Zzzzz Zzzzz.. it was that relaxing! The change room though small, with 2 washrooms with no showers.. but is bright and tastefully decorated. Since there are not lockers, students are encouraged to bring their valuable into class. Teaming with Urban Herbivore providing Vegan and healthy food choices for yogi, Octopus Garden really become more than a yoga studio but becomes a complete lifestyle experience!

Good Space is a yoga and meditation studio located in Parkdale near the intersection of…read moreQueen/Dufferin (on Dufferin). They are located inside the historic Radiator building with many other businesses. The closest door to Good Space is coloured a bright orange. Usually the yoga studio will also have their sandwich board outside as well. You do have to navigate a set of 6 steps before entering the studio. They do offer a variety of classes primarily either "Move" classes or "Ease" classes. The "Move" classes are designed to be strengthening and vigorous. The "Ease" classes are restorative (think yoga, quiet meditation, etc.). Yoga mats and all props for the classes are included. Best to bring your own water bottle to refill your bottle with a water station they have. They also do not have any towels but if you'd like to bring one just in case you can as well. I've never tried Good Space before but decided to sign up for their intro package (3 classes for $50 + tax) with no expiry date on the classes. I stopped by on Wed around lunch. Upon entering the studio I was greeted by staff, who was also the instructor of the class I would be taking. Signing up for classes is fairly easy which can be done online. They use the Mindbody booking system so you'll need to create an account if you don't have one with them. The class I signed up for was a "Move" Vinayasa flow class. I told the instructor it was my first time at the studio and she showed me a brief tour of the place pointing out the entrance area where I should put my shoes + belongings as well as the washrooms, changerooms, and yoga practice room. The aesthetic of studio is light and airy with plants throughout. The instructor already had laid out the mats in the studio and I picked a spot to my liking. Props are at the back of the room. The instructor, Sam, took us through a Vinyasa flow, which was nice as some poses provided some strengthening aspects. I don't particularly do yoga often but I was able to follow her instructions. Moreover, I took a spot in the 2nd row so I could also look at others if I was lost. Once class is over, you're expected to use a spray bottle and sponge to wipe down your mat and hang it back up on the wall. Overall, Good Space offers a welcoming space for all (beginners, intermediate, or advanced) to practice yoga. The instructor was friendly and attentive. I felt welcome and included in the class even though it was my first time there. Definitely will use up the rest of my intro pack classes and would be interested in exploring their other credit packs in the future!

I would definitely recommend this studio for anyone looking for a good space for fitness and community :)

Truly the most special place on earth. This is Othership's first location - there's another one on…read moreYork in Toronto and one in NYC. I'm so glad I was able to do two sessions here and honestly, I think about this place every day. The guides here are so special. The concept of other ship is contrast therapy: there is sauna, and cold plunge. But it's unlike any contrast therapy I've done. It's a 75 minute class where you go in and your swimsuit and it's coed. You take part in a version of Aufguss - a sauna where they break balls of ice infused with delicious essential oils. I took a Gacha class where you do lymphatic drainage and then I also took a heart opener class. They also have free flow where there's no guide. The cold plunge is really special - you get paired up but if the class is small you can go alone. I've cold plunged a lot, and this experience transformed me. I was able to stay really, really calm and have a euphoric experience. The guides also use a tuning fork after the cold plunge to get you to calm the nervous system. The shower and changing room is not ideal for anyone that wants to go about their day after the experience but other than that, I wish I lived in Toronto to do this daily. The staff is also super friendly. They gave me their signature incense for my first visit. I love, love this place.

Othership, located along Adelaide and Brant, is a transformative experience that you won't…read moreunderstand until you try it. It's not just a sauna and ice bath facility, but a place that fosters community and inclusivity and a sanctuary for when you need to get away from the stresses of life (or when you need to relieve all that stress). The facility and it's staff, along with other participants, provides a safe and welcoming space for you to let go and look inward where you feel like a completely different person once you finish your session or class. I have always been interested to try Othership but was afraid to take the first step. I was able to try one of their guided classes recently as I received a free credit. I booked a deep stretch guided class around noon mid-week. Not knowing what to expect I went in with an open mind, allowing myself to explore and be curious about the experience, as well as try new things. Prior to the class, I probably was most anxious about the cold plunge part of the class. Upon entering Othership, you are greeted by staff where you are checked in. I did tell staff it was my first time there and they gave me a tour of the space. I was also given a wristband to wear, indicating that I was a first timer there - this is done so that it is easier for the instructor to identify the newcomers in the group, just in case we needed extra guidance or direction. Facility wise, Othership is a nice sanctuary in the city. The changerooms aren't terribly big but they do have private change rooms you can utilize. There are lockers you can store your belongings and shoes are not allowed in the sauna/cold plunge area. They provide you with 2 towels and there is tea as well as water (and cups) available. The bathrooms are at the very back past the cold plunge area. In regards to my class, we were able to settle in and the instructor explained the guided class and what we would be doing as we settled on the couches. She was aware that many of us were first timers in the class, knowing that we would be anxious about the cold plunge. She told us to embrace our own journey, with the understanding that everyone is starting at different places with different levels of experience. This pre-class talk was quite reassuring and I felt a sense of comfort sharing this experience with others, knowing that we were in this together. In the guided deep stretch class, we were first in the sauna for about 25-30 min where we did a series of breathwork and stretching, focusing on different parts of our body. The sauna was quite hot after a while and I was dripping sweat but the focus on the breath was a key factor in managing how I was feeling and the heat. After the sauna we were split into 2 groups where we did the cold plunge for 2 min (prior to the plunge you have to rinse off your body using the communal showers). I was so nervous about this part of the class but I was able to stay submerged for the whole 2 min. Having a focus on your breathwork was crucial. After the cold plunge we all gathered in the sauna again where we did several more breathworks and had a sharing portion to the class where we could talk about our experience if we wanted to. Last 15 min of class we were invited to do another cold plunge, stay in the sauna, or relax and drink tea/water. Overall, I had an amazing first experience at Othership. Will definitely return to try more guided classes in the future!

I wish they had shared the schedule with us because we didn't know the order of our services but it ended up being a fun surprise. We started with an hour long salt floatation which was very relaxing. They dim the lights and play quiet music. I think an hour was a bit long so next time I might book 30-45 minutes. They had hair caps which I wish I had seen before but it was so nice to float. They decorated the ceiling with little stars which was very cute. Next, we had the red light sauna which was relaxing and very warm. We then had a quick massage which I wish we had booked for longer. They used great pressure and it was very rejuvenating. We then had the hand and foot salt detox which was a really unique experience. I've never done that! We finished off in the salt cave which was calm and a great way to end off. Overall, it was a fantastic day. The staff is incredible and we enjoyed each step of the way. I'm excited to return but might switch around the timing of the experiences. They really put in a lot of attention and care!

This spa has a lot of unique services that I don't normally see at other spas. I've been to a…read morenumber of spas and found the experience here just okay. I came with a group of 5 friends, each with different packages. ( I myself booked the 210-minute jade stone massage package). They sent a confirmation email with the times of each experience, but it wasn't clear who was doing what time (e.g. there were 3 jade facial times but it wasn't clear who was to go at what time). When we arrived, the front desk had us change and ushered us into the salt room. I was confused as all the other spas I've been to before gave an overview and a tour so we knew what to expect. It was a bit jarring to not be told what to expect. After I asked about it, though, she said she'd guide each of us through as we had to switch over to different activities, so that was a relief. The salt cave was probably the best experience. It can fit 8 people, but it was only our group there, so we chatted and took pictures and relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Afterwards was the massage, which started off with a bit of confusion. The massage therapist thought I was booked for one thing while I was booked for another. Eventually we got it sorted out, so that's all right. This was my first time getting a massage from a non-RMT massage therapist (they don't offer that service) and the experience was very different. After this experience, I wouldn't do a non-RMT again, but that's my personal preference. Next was the jade sauna. It was nice to have it all to myself, and you can make it hotter as well if you want. My package said it included access to the lounge as well, but the lounge is available for anyone and is just a small waiting room. So it was a bit misleading to say this was "part of the package" when it didn't involve anything other than a seat. Overall, I think it's fine to try if you want to experience something different.
