I love that the studio is located across the street from metro Mont-Royal so I don't have to walk too much to get there. It is annoying that there are around 5 flights of stairs to walk up to the studio (I lose count every time)!! I really love the energy that the instructors bring to each class but I do find that Harsh brings more energy and difficulty in terms of movements and choreography to the classes. The music is very loud and gets you pumped and there's usually between 15-20 people per class. I've been to the Thursday night and Saturday afternoon classes. The vibe is definitely more rushed on the Thursday. Today we didn't even get to work on a choreography!! Usually that's what the last 10 minutes are reserved for. From beginning to end, we work so hard that we are drenched in sweat by the end of it. Would love it if they could turn on fans though as it gets really stuffy. For $30, you get to sign up to 4 classes and I'm so happy I did! It's a great workout and way more motivating than the gym. Looking forward to the next class and I might even sign up for more!

I discovered this little studio with my purchase of a walk-in class for Burn Bhangra Fitness on a…read moreThursday evening.The studio was conveniently located right across metro Mont-Royal next to the Jean Cotu. It was annoying to walk 4 flights steep stairs to get to the studio- but hey I am here to burn calories through cardio- guess that's not a bad thing! The reception area was cute with a little resto lounge for food purchases and a seating area. The studios are located in the same vicinity. Each studio is equipped with benches and a nearby water fountain. The Burn bhangra class was HYPED! a 5 min warm-up, 25 min & 20 min bhangra session, 10 mins of choreography had me sweating my pores out! Intense cardio but great for level fitness enthusiasts beginning to advanced. Our instructor, Harsh, was fantastic in walking us through the moves and his energy was off the walls! It took me back to my days when i did bhangra during my university days! Great song selection especially the fusion between bhangra tracks and music ft. The Weekend and Bieber! They offer flexible packages 10$ walk in class, 4 for 30$ or 90$ for 12 sessions for first time attendees only. Looking forward to my next session!

I tried 5 classes with them, with 4 different teachers. Teachers all happy, caring, smiling,…read moreenthusiastic, and energetic. (They must be getting so much endolphine from this work-out. Look really really happy, even during hard exercise) They have two categories of classes/clientele. First is for general public, and the second is top atheletes. I tried the first kind. The second kind looked like real dancers, so I didn't dare to try those classes. :-) It feels like mixture of ballet, modern dance, aerobics, and pilates. It's based on techniques developed by Miranda (Classical Stretch). The atmosphere is very supportive. The class size varies depending on hours. Studio holds any many as 10-15 I think. The bathroom clean and generous number (and size) of towels available for free. They give a free trial class. So come see it yourself. Gender ratio is a little higher on women-side, a few guys in each class, but it is a good atmosphere for everyone. Age varies from youth to silver.

What does pole dancing mean to me? A new shot at life…read more Let me explain. (CW/TW: The following contains topics related to suicide, mental health and such.) I've been battling with suicidal thoughts and multiple mental illnesses for years. Prior discovering pole, I didn't see any value in life. Every night, I'd cry myself to sleep hoping that I could end my suffering. I was ready to give up. However, my friend made me join a pole class with him. To my surprise, for the first time in a very long time, I felt happy. All the dark thoughts disappeared, and I was mesmerized by my instructor's skills. I fell in love with how pretty and captivating she made all the moves look. After that one class, I told to myself that I wanted to become like my instructor. In a way, that class saved my life. I started taking better care of myself and picking up healthier lifestyle habits in order to be able to become as good as my pole instructors. I'd highly recommend this studio to anyone wanting to try or get into pole dancing! The instructors are very nice and supportive, and the community is very wholesome

OTF Somerled has literally changed my life!…read more Since the pandemic, I had really let myself go. I was depressed, unmotivated, had zero drive and absolutely no desire to get out of bed to do much of anything. That went on for 3 years!!! I was dreading exposing myself to the world of fitness in the state I was in but knew I needed to get my active life back on track. I have been to so many different fitness centres (the Y, Energy Cardio, Fitness One, MAAA, Nautilus +) and had done countless bootcamp sessions and CrossFit, none of which even compare to what I was about to experience with OTF. Getting back into shape, meant that I would be disappointed with how much my body had changed over the years. I knew I'd need more than just a physical workout. I'd need support, encouragement, advice, structure, and positive reinforcements. Then my sister introduced me to Orange Theory. She said it was exactly what I needed to get my groove back. BOY WAS SHE RIGHT!!! Not only are you encouraged to go at your own pace, but you're also made aware of your progress and the work you are putting in during and after your workouts. It keeps you motivated and on track. The only commitment you are making is to yourself. OTF has a pay per month plan, meaning there are no annual contracts locking you in, and adding unnecessary pressure. So you don't have to worry about biting off more than you can chew. Which helps you set smaller and more reachable goal. If you sign up for a minimum of 3 sessions a week, you also get a FREE heart monitor, tracking your every move, heart beat, and calorie burned. And if you thought that was good, I've got more news. OTF is WORLD WIDE, with multiple fitness centres in every major city. They also have an app compatible with iPhones and Androids, keeping you up-to-date on stats, allowing you to book your sessions directly from your home, and providing you with workout videos you can do from anywhere at any time. And did I mention the 1st SESSION IS FREE? So, if you're looking to make a positive change in your life, and need that extra push from encouraging coaches and a supportive community, OTF Somerled is for you! I promise you won't be disappointed. You think I'm kidding? Just read the reviews. P.S HiiT is highly addictive. Expect to get hooked!
