The instructors delivery style seems unnecessarily performative and can occasionally come across as louder and more self-important than necessary for the workout format. A bit more restraint would go a long way.

It is hard to miss and is not visible to the street view. As you walk in the place is very cute and very clean. The ladies that work there are very friendly and very informative/helpful regarding any questions you may have. Our instructor was very nice. I totally forgot her name. She was awesome, she's very interactive in the class. She does walk around the room periodically to make sure you are in the right position which is quite helpful because I can tell you I had no clue as to what I as doing. The whole class was awesome, we all definitely felt the burn. By the way, it was the Barre Classic class which is recommended for beginners. It's a mixture of yoga, stretching and ballet moves, which by the way, were awesome practises that you can do at home. Who knew about these ballet moves?? When the class was over she interacted with us for a bit which was nice. They have a lot of specials/deals right now that are awesome. The one class by itself was $20. It was totally worth it. I can't tell you it was worth it because I could hardly get out of my bed this morning. I will definitely be back with my friends!!

I came to Barre Life while I was visiting family in Oakville. I'm a Pure Barre addict, so I HAD to…read morefind a barre studio during this trip. Barre Life had a great introductory special: unlimited classes for two weeks for only $40. Yay! So the studio is very nice and clean on the inside. The outside is not much to look at, though there is plenty of parking. The lobby is spacious, they have retail, and the front of the house staff are friendly. There is also a large women's locker room--always a plus. I took 3 classes at Barre Life: Sculpt and two level 1 classes. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety that the studio offers--I think it's great that there are different classes depending on what you're looking for (beginner, advanced, more ballet-oriented, etc). I enjoyed Sculpt the most, as it was somewhat similar to what I'm used to at Pure Barre. I like a more fast-paced and intense class as well as using different props, such as weights, balls, and resistance bands. I also enjoyed the music, which was upbeat and current. What prevents me from giving a higher rating is related to the instruction. During one class, I was actually discouraged when I challenged myself to hold a pose--I was told by an instructor to stop when she saw that my thigh muscles were shaking. Also, I never saw any of the instructors go around the room and adjust people's forms, and I could see that several people needed adjustments, including myself. I found this to be problematic because if you don't have the correct form, you could easily injure yourself--especially your back. Maybe other instructors are more conscientious about that, though. All in all, there were more positives than negatives, but the instructor contributes heavily to the experience in my opinion. I would still try Barre Life when I visit Oakville again, since it is still a great workout.

5 Elements Yoga & Pilates is not in my hood.. going there makes almost feel like a day trip.. But I…read morehave to say that people in the Brampton area is lucky to have such a nice studio in the community. 5 Element Yoga is in a historical building which used to be "The Old Shoe Factory" and now it is converted into units housing different businesses. A lot of the character of the interior has be preserved, like those brick walls.. the high ceilings all give the studio a really rustic feel. The class I attended is called YogaFusion.. This is NOT my normal yoga classes, but I do want to try something different. The class itself was interesting, the teacher blended Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates into a vinyasa class?? There was some dancing flow involve too.. kind of like modern dance.. and I feel like I have two left feet. The class itself is a mixed level with more experience practitioners and some beginners.. wish there were more variations given.. BTW, the class suppose to start at 12:30 and end at 1:40..and it started late and it did not finish till 2 pm... I like the deco of the studio itself... can I say really "yoga Indian" feel??

Small studio space, with plenty of equipment- several reformers, a Cadillac, at least one chair. Enough room for 8 mats. Great boutique studio feel! Easy to find location in Westdale.
