Be warned though, their contracts are designed to take as much as they can from you and the management is slow to respond and not helpful. I've had and heard many horror stories from this gym. Most recently, my wife has made several attempts to settle a situation with them which is one that should be resolved within minutes, not weeks. Her brother was a member while he was staying in town and cancelled his membership before he left town. They told him he would have to pay the remaining dues on his contract. Fine, so they gave him an account action form and he paid the remaining dues. However, recently they began charging his credit card again. It turns out, they gave him a form to pay dues until the end of his contract term, but they did not actually cancel the membership. Now, they are hiding behind a technicality that there was no cancellation form signed. (Because a customer would be familiar with the paperwork that this business works with, right?). So they say that they require an additional 30 days notice to cancel so that they can charge an extra month on top of the two months that they already charged. Is it easy to fix? Yes, cancel the membership and return the unauthorized charges. How long does that take? About fifteen minutes. Get with the times Gold's Gym...

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,

That being said, I liked that this studio requires headphones so everyone is focused on their own form. It is also a slightly bigger class size (max 16) compared to other reformer pilates class but that doesn't take away the instructors focus on their students! Lagree focus more on toning and endurance so you'll feel yourself growing stronger but not necessarily growing muscles like you're weight training. It is also a lot of core work I love Kiki and Bouse's classes the most, Kiki is super attentive to her students and remembers them by name. She also adds variations so you can pick your own difficulty level to do. Bouse's leg section are a KILLER, it always hurts to walk the next day haha

Due to a small size and prolonged hours, classes usually start late by 20-30 minutes. 3) Ancient equipment. You can not learn new moves or perform well with such an old equipment. 4) Hardly any coach has CF level 1 certificate. They can not properly explain you a WOD. 5) Angry and racist coach. As a consequence of point 4), one coach gets angry and starts to make racist jokes. 6) Overpriced. For such kind of money, you would get much better service in DT. 7) People are fun. They are trying to make a friendly environment by asking a "question of the day" at the beginning of the class, which is fine, but for 12 people it usually takes about 10 min of a valuable time of you 60 min workout. The majority of customers are young UBC students, which makes the box an unwelcoming.

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!

I have seen amazing results in strength, core, mobility and flexibility (and I have been doing yoga / dancing for years and this is by far the one that has provided the most sustained and sustainable results).

I watched her barely instruct students while sitting at a far distance looking downward. Post class she left her phone and I saw she was scrolling Instagram. Saw her roll her eyes at me when she gave me a correction. I was told classes are geared towards the majority of the class and was told the majority had injuries. There are 12 reformers and I watched instructors sit on a high chair or table near the entrance giving instructions from afar. Just buy a reformer and take class using YouTube would be better. I was a new student to this studio but not to the practice and I was not impressed. I'll try one more instructor but I was extremely disappointed in such behavior coming from a manager. I'll just go back to classical Pilates where instructors confirm all students are engaging proper muscles minus the eye roll and Max 4-8 students. I waited a week to post this, without any emotions or tone just simple facts. How to improve CP? get off the phone and stop sitting so far from the students you should be walking around and standing the entire time or maybe this is just contemporary practice the new way to teach Pilates is sitting and looking at your phone.

The minute I step into the studio, I know the class is going to be hard and I get excited. Throughout the hour, we participate in multiple exercises in which we strengthen our arms, backs, thighs, abs, and seats. The exercises are tough as you work to fatigue your muscles. The intense exercises are followed by deep stretches. Even after a year of working hard, I still find this workout a challenge and I become more motivated to accomplish new goals. Whether it be more push-ups on my toes, getting lower in thigh, or going into L shape, each aspiration keeps me going. On top of the great workout, the staff is incredibly friendly and supportive. Not only do the instructors take little time to remember the name of each person, but they also keep an eye on you to make sure you are in finest form, ensuring that you get the best workout possible. Taking a class with Emily Goodrich is always fun because while she keeps everyone working hard, she cracks jokes to make the class a little more enjoyable. If you want to become stronger, more toned, or increase your flexibility, trying a bar class is a must!
