Came here a while back before the isolation. Was invited for a freebie class by my fiancé. So we…read moredecided to hit up on a Thursday evening. I still remember it was quite chilly that day. So we got here, signed in as a newcomer. And afterwards we got changed. I like how this place doesn't allow outside shoes in the studio. Anyhow the facilities are in what it used to be a commercial building. Inside the gym area are all the equipment of weights, ropes and punching dummies (for kickboxing). So we were settling in and started our warm up and stretches. Then the HIIT exercises came thru. After a good 45 minutes of workout. I was quite dead at the end. The instructors are encouraging and not overly brutal. It ain't bad honestly. I'll consider signing up with them when the isolation is lifted.

Getting to this location was very easy which appealed to me. During the rush hour traffic can get…read morepretty hectic around these areas. Having this gym on West Beaver Creek allowed me an easy way to get there through traffic and a great escape from it on the way home. The facility was well taken care of when I entered. It didn't have the usual sweaty stench of most gyms. I enjoyed that the gym was more family based rather than the large chain. I find that a smaller more encouraging environment helps me a lot more than being ogled at the larger chain gyms. The vibe was very comfortable for me and my coach had been very knowledgeable of not only the exercises we were prescribed but our individual needs. I enjoyed his ability to deal with me as an individual while maintaining the group aspect of the classes. Since I've started training here, not only has my mother and cousin joined but my aunt as well. I left the country for some odd months to come back and find them in better shape than they have ever been. The best part is that they all seemed to have fun on the way there. The coach and the staff here always set up great family based events on holidays as well that give us both a great workout and a little competition. It's been a great experience growing with my new friends at the gym and bonding with my family as well.

My oldest was recently invited to a birthday party at Wonderful World of Circus. She loved it and…read morehad a great time! The kids had about 45 minutes of trying out different circus equipment followed by time in a private party room where they had pizza, cake, decorations etc. You can add those items to your package through them or bring in your own. There are party add ons you can get such as dog show, clown show, aerial gymnastics, balloon animals, face painting & loot bags. The party room also comes with a dvd player & tv with choice of movies etc. to have on while everyone is in the party room. Instructors were very professional, patient and wonderful with the kids. Everyone had so much and my own daughter loved it so much, we may host her next party there next year! Other services they have available are: circus camp, circus workshops, corporate events, school field trips. Great experience and a place definitely worth checking out!

They taught us how to climb a narrow hanging ladder and do tricks on the trapeze, the trampolines, and the silk ropes. I had so much fun building strength and trying things I have never done before. I can't wait to go back next week and definitely want to sign up for a semester of classes. It's a great way to burn some calories in a fun interactive setting. I found out about this place via geoupon and I'm so glad I bought 2 90minute sessions. This was the best way to spend my Thursday night.

Decided to try out reformer pilates for the first time this year and went to Groove Barre's…read moreintroduction class. It's located on the second floor of the building and once you up the stairs you turn left for the reformer pilates, I believe there's other rooms for other classes on the right. I was greeted by the reception and had to sign a waiver form. You also have to wear pilates socks at this location during your exercises but if you don't have any, they have some for purchase at their studio. Once you walk into the room/ class you're expected to leave all your belongings like purses, wallets and phones at their cubbies since it's a no phone zone when the class is in session. Since I picked an introductory class, the instructor talked us through how to use the reformers and what to expect. During the class, I thought it'd be more useful if the instructor actually showed us how to do certain moves herself so we had a visual, rather than just talking us through the steps. As beginners, it would've been a lot more helpful. Knowing that this was a introductory class, I didn't expect to be sweating and be super sore the next day - which I wasn't. But I definitely felt some muscles being activated that I don't usually target. Overall, it was a great experience and I went back a couple more times after that. Take the introductory class as it really helped with understanding how to use the reformer and how the movements should feel.

Challenging classes, friendly instructors and well-kept facilities. Not very beginner-friendly…read more The classes are a combination of yoga, Pilates, and breathing exercises. They're challenging (I've been going for years and still need to lie down or rest in child's pose), although instructors do offer some modifications. Yoga is supposed to be for everybody, but my friend who is new to yoga felt lost in the crowd and not given accessible poses - and this was foundation flow. My other complaint is that the main room is not cleaned between classes. I know this because I've walked in many a sweat puddles barefoot as I traversed across the studio. The instructors all have something special. Jenny leads an energetic class and is supportive (I did crow pose for the first time in her class!). Cindy is a dancer and makes yoga look beautiful. May is funny and pairs Pilates movements with Top40 music. Susan is badass! Classes are non-competitive, HOT, and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated (unless you go to Guy's Friday night class...10/10 will lie down in shavasana). Have fun!

The location is in Scarborough.. hard to find at night as it is at the side of industrial complex look alike building and even their signs are not permanent... just a banner hanging across. I was welcome in Mandarin with the receptionists.. not surprising since it is a really "chinese" area. Amenities they are quite good.. with 3 showers, 2 toilets and filtered water to refill my water bottle. There are also some mini lockers in the waiting area to lock up your valuables if you do desire! The class I took is one of those yogalates.. with first 30 minutes of standard moksha poses than then last 30 minutes more pilates movement with pilates breathing. The instructor was nice and did make the class quite enjoyable. Hot Yoga Wellness Kennedy is a decent yoga studio.. but if you looking for variety.. and you not into just heated yoga, you might need to look somewhere else...

From the same instructors, I've seen them effectively engage children while being able to challenge older and more advanced students, often even within the same class. Having taken multiple classes of different levels with the same instructors, I can confidently say that they constantly try to teach us more and implement new methods of teaching. I've been around long enough to see the different dynamics between different mini 'generations' of students; most of which have been incredibly positive. The instructors have been able to foster a welcoming environment, and the students have done well to keep it that way.
