A giant, multi-purpose, cool-as-hell warehouse space in Waterloo…read more There's a huge variety of different rooms and spaces, from dark'n'moody industrial-chic garage spaces, to wool store-style warehouse lofts awash with natural light and old skool floorboards. There's even a sweet brick laneway. Their motto is Good Spaces For Good People, and they host all sorts of stuff, from makers markets to yoga classes where a donation at the door will get you in. Check out their website for upcoming events, there's always something cool in the works. If you're looking for venue hire, or a kick-ass backdrop for your photography shoot, drop them a line. There's a ton of inspiring and just plain rad spaces to use for your event.

Even after I moved away from Petersham, I tried a local yoga studio and it just wasn't the same and so I came back. Jazz and all the teachers are very engaging and take great pains to ensure that the poses work for each individual. Highly recommended.

Welcoming vibe in class, not too bright and, while it was hot, it wasn't overwhelmingly hot. So central you can get anywhere after class quickly, after you have a shower of course! They have shampoo, hair dryers and straighteners. There are mats in the back of the classroom.

Run by the wonderful instructor Carol, it's $130 for 10 classes or $120 / month unlimited. The times of classes are always up for discussion as well, she tries to accommodate for as many members as she can. Highly recommended.

First class free!…read more After coming here, I don't think I'll like other studios where the lights stay on bright and there are mirrors. It's so relaxing with out them. They have beautiful images of Sydney waiting for you whenever you face forward and the mats are all set up for you at the start of class. At the end they rub your face and neck with lavender cream which was really relaxing. There's also tea which was delicious.

Gorgeous studio with the right vibe. They offer lockers and matts for use, as well as some…read morecomplimentary tea before or after class. The entire place is beautifully decorated to help you feel like you've really escaped the city. There's a screen in the class with some scenery videos playing, it's not distracting at all. And the instructors and staff were very helpful and welcoming! Class was both challenging but also suitable for first timers. I find that I get more out of yoga classes with more of a vinyasa flow. I can't wait for my next class at Urban Yoga!

Seriously, finally, a yoga home. Henryk and Tamar are so experienced and skillful, I know that my…read morebody is in good hands. They deal with all levels of ability, from highly experienced yogis to my teenaged son who couldn't touch his toes (and now can). All bodies, all ages. I am challenged by my practice over the last half year and can see a beautiful difference in my body - becoming stronger inside and out. Love this place. A funny story: from time to time, Tamar would refer to "Guruji" saying Guruji said this or moved his shoulders like that. A gentle, understated reference, clarifying an action or attitude toward the practice. It took me a few months to realize that she was referring to BKS Iyengar, the founder of Iyengar yoga! They learned from the master and it shows.

For those with time restrictions or in need of special attention we also offer Private Tuition. Tamar Kelly has been teaching for 18 years and Henryk for over 25.

I can only comment on the studio pilates classes because I don't attend any of the XTend Barre…read moreclasses (although those girls look toned and ripped!) The studio is clean and hygenic, with quality equipment and great extras (like supplied towels, because as if I can remember to bring my own). Studio classes are a max of 4 students at a time, so you generally get personalised attention unless it's a particularly busy Saturday morning and things are a bit crazy. Teachers spend time learning about each students body and modifying the program where necessary to make each student comfortable - I always feel confident that I'm in good hands, no matter which teacher I'm seeing or how badly my back is playing up. The only down side is being in a studio class when an XTend Barre class is on - the soundtrack is terrible! Haha I kid (although some of the songs should be left in the 90s)

I'd been to Barre Body in Melbourne and Perth, so I knew what to expect at this Sydney studio…read more I used my ClassPass membership to take Megan's barre tone class. Though the website says otherwise, socks were not required (I prefer barre in bare feet when it's done on wood floor as it is here). Barre Body bills this class as "...strong and dynamic." I'd say I found that to be true. If you've done Dailey Method, Pure Barre or Bar Method, you'll feel right at home. And if you've never done barre before but have done yoga and/or pilates, you'll do fine too. This is a small studio with no lobby so you probably don't want to rock up more than 10 minutes prior to class.

I'm a fan of Barre Body in Melbourne and attend classes at least a couple of times a week. I was…read morereally happy to know that during a recent visit to Sydney I was able to use my membership to attend a class at the Surry Hills studio, and could book the exact same way as I do at home via my Barre Body app. This studio is clean and minimalist. It's a serene environment to work out and it's nicely located to public transport for easy access. The classes themselves are varied, with different styles and intensities available depending on your ability and mood. Like my experiences in Melbourne, the teacher at my Surry Hills class was absolutely delightful and had a terrific way of leading the class and encouraging everyone.
