I recently visited Palooka's with a group on pass. Impressive views and typical gym stuff like…read morecardio and weights but this gym also has several heavy bags and fitness classes. I also saw people getting personal training as well. I took a cardio fitness class and it was great. We did some weights and a cardio workout. Overall I am pleased with this gym and if I lived closer by I would consider buying a pass.

I am new to Halifax area and I have been searching for a gym to call home. I dropped into…read morePalooka's as an alternative to Goodlife. Wow, not only was the staff so friendly, helpful, and nonagressive, but the gym itself is amazing. The view of the bedford basin is beautiful and worth the membership alone. But the gym is not only the cleanest I have ever been in, but well maintained, new equipment, breathtaking change rooms, and an overall great vibe. I have also had the chance to observe some of the trainers at work. I can tell you that I will definately be using their services. Not only do they watch and take care of their clients but they push them. I have seen trainers just tell a client what to do and while the client is performing the task the trainer is looking around and not paying attention. I am excited to start my membership there. I highly recommend going to check this place out if you want a gym that cares about you after you have paid your dues.

Emily is a gentle spirit & a very good teacher. Niki Smith is nurturing & a powerhouse instructor. As you can tell, I am very happy to be part of this yoga community & I look forward to many more classes. Come out & join us & you will see what I am talking about. Namaste

From the owner: We are a Yoga studio specializing in Hot Yoga. We also offer reduced heat classes as well as…read morenon-heated classes in our schedule to students.

I'm not really a yoga fan for some reason. I think I get too antsy when I do it and just want to…read morebounce and flop around. Moksha is different because it is hot. The room is so warm that you sweat like crazy, actually detoxifying your entire body. This aspect of the yoga makes it more challenging and easier for me to concentrate. I like the schedules they have because it's usually available to anyone's schedule. I you have free time during the week I recommend going then; the weekends are just too busy. I went on a Saturday once and the entire room was full. It was so full that I couldn't even stretch out all the way without hitting someone. The dude behind me touched my foot because we were so packed. The instructors here are great. They are very informative and helpful. If you're doing something wrong they will correct you. One instructor in particular, Melissa, is cool because, in the more awkward poses, she asks if it's alright that she moves you. I liked the respect that she's showing when she does this. Just a quick tid bit. Ladies, don't be afraid to change in front of each other... and stop taking up the toilets to change your clothes! Some of us really need to pee after drinking 1.5 litres of water in an hour. If you're just looking to increase your exercise a bit, maybe try going once or twice a week. That means that buying a whole month isn't really worth it. Unless you plan on going more than three times every week, the monthly pass isn't worth it. I stick to one to two times a week, since it's quite a work-out and my muscles usually hurt the next day.

I've been hitting up the hot yoga since December and I have to say I do love me some Moksha…read more It's a super busy studio, which can be kind of trying on the patience sometimes, but busy= good. One thing I wish they did though was post which instructor was teaching which class. While the majority of the instructors here are amazing, everybody has a different personality and some people jive better than others. Overall though, a great place to sweat it out!

I went to a class at this studio for the first time about two years ago, and this summer bought an unlimited pass and practiced daily. I am currently enrolled in their Yoga Teacher Training program, and have nothing but good things to say about all of the wonderful people who work and train here. If you're thinking about doing your teacher training in Halifax, I recommend their weekends-program. It spans about 9/10 months and gives you a lot of time to practice teaching while going through the course. Mike, Maxine and Leslie focus a great deal of time on proper alignment and anatomy education, which is essential if you're going to be a safe teacher. The studio's focus is Hatha flow yoga; as well many of the teachers also implement principles from the Baptiste tradition. There is a weekly mediation class, as well as a couple of classes dedicated to the Ashtanga tradition. You will also find family yoga, yoga-dance and prenatal classes. The studio has been around for quite some time and you will find regulars and newbies alike attending classes. I recommend giving this studio a whirl. It is a very comfortable and inviting place to further your practice.
