Wow! All I gotta say is, Wow!…read more I have never been to a Yoga studio like this one since moving to Canada. First off, this studio is literally in the same strip mall as my daughter's dance studio - Um, yeah... Why did I not go here last year rather than sitting on a couch for 2 hours every week? So let's get the cons out of the way - It's located on the 2nd floor and there isn't a washroom in the Yoga studio but there is one in the hallway you can access with a key. It's a nice washroom and there is nothing wrong with it but I would just rather prefer a washroom inside the Yoga studio itself. Okay, on with the AWESOMEness! When you walk in the door, it's like you are walking into an beautiful and bright Indian inspired oasis with gorgeous fabrics and silks draped from the ceiling, brightly coloured walls, comfy couches and chairs and a beaded curtain leading to chagne rooms. I don't think I've ever walked in without being warmly greeted by at least one person if not two or three. There is a Sun room (hot and warm) and a Moon room (room temperature), They offer classes ranging from hot ( flow, yin, etc.) to relaxation to Hiit (yoga and interval) and many more that I haven't even tried yet. Their website breaks down each style of class offered: http://www.lahariyoga.ca/classes-description/ So far, I've gone to three of the Blissology series by instructor Michellene Kandert and have fallen madly in love with her style. First off, she's hillarious and sometimes makes us dance - yep, dance (especially on Friday night Happy Hour). She is real, supportive, and empowering - pretty much all you could ever ask for from a yoga instructor or human being! After yoga classes, you can sit and enjoy fruit/herb infused water, tea, coffee and snacks at their kitchen bar or lounge in their comfy couches in the "Om Kitchen & Lounge." If you go to a Happy Hour Friday class, there is literally a mini potluck afterwards and wine. Yep, that's right. Yoga followed by wine and treats! Does life get better than this? Me thinks not! Lahari also offers Men's only classes on their schedule (way cool) and kiddo classes as well. Definitely check out their website and live schedule to see what is coming up and give them a try! Your first class is always free - You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Prices are comparable with all other Yoga studios in town with drop in at $10 or a punch pass of 10 classes currently for $90. They also offer monthly, three months, and yearly memberships which are the way to go if you practice 2 or more times per week! I really can't say enough great things about this place and look forward to continuing to explore this studio and the instructors here! http://www.lahariyoga.ca/

We came here recently to meet up with friends to work out. If you're looking for a gym for weight…read morelifting, this place is likely a good bet. It doesn't have machines the likes of which you might find at other types of gyms, but there are great options if you are going to be doing strength training and we had fun creating our own circuit training workouts and spotting each other while lifting the barbells. The changing facilities are pretty small but the showers are large and this feels luxurious compared to some other gym facilities. There are only three shower stalls so that's a bit limited -- I doubt that many women use the change room at any given moment. There are also a lot of offices where professional services can be performed or where you can visit these professionals. I had a good time at my workout here and would return again if my group of friends wanted to do some lifting/circuit training here again!

I went to Evolve for the first time. The instructor gave us…read morea series of activities as our workout. We pushed and pulled a cart, worked on ropes, throwing medicine balls, abs and jumps. They have lots of equipment for a complete workout, from beginner to professional. They offer personal training sessions if you prefer to have an structured workout plan. As for classes, they have yoga sessions available but that's it. No aerobics, kickboxing, or anything like that. They have their own parking spots available and also have additional street parking.

What you get from NME are workout classes (Strength, Spin, Tabata, Zumba, Pound - to name a few). You also get an AMAZING community. Aside from classes, NME frequently plans outings (white water rafting, axe throwing, etc) and events in the gym (meal prep, workshops to promote wellness). They really care about the WHOLE person, not just the packaging..... and I love this!! The last thing I want to add is that Cheryl, the owner, cares - about everyone. You'll see what I mean, if you try this place out. It's WAY more than a gym, it's a community. Everyone is welcome.

I have been going to this gym for a little more than a year, and I really like it! As soon as you…read moretake your first class you can feel the different vibe as compared to other gyms or group fitness classes. They will notice that you are new and help you get set up for class, and all the instructors make working out feel fun and inclusive. Regardless of your fitness level, you will fit in and feel welcome. The owner, Cheryl, cares about each member and takes the time to learn everyone's name- plus she's funny and entertaining to take class from, she helps you forget the pain of the workout (at least a little bit)! The only downside I can say is that it can feel a bit pricey if you're comparing to a monthly gym membership, but if you work out the per class cost it is really reasonable and definitely worth the extra money. Paying in advance for registered classes is great motivation to keep going to class, something I always struggled with when I had monthly memberships. Definitely check it out, especially if you are just getting started or getting back on track with your fitness/exercise journey- you won't regret it!

I had previously heard about this place from a co-worker, and thought I would check it out as part…read moreof a Yelp event. The class I did was a combination of pilates, yoga, and cardio, which got the heart pumping in the 30 min introduction. It was fun, but at a hefty monthly fee of $160 a month, it's a little out of my price range. That, and it's located pretty far south (8708 51 Ave) for a northsider. They do offer a newcomer promo for $40 for 2 weeks, and then you can decide whether this workout is for you. Check out their website (http://thesurfstudio.ca/), as they offer a bunch of different classes. I came here at night, and the place was really easy to miss. Ample free parking out front.

Oh! Wow... this is WAY harder then I thought it would be, but such a novel and really neat way to…read morework out and get in shape. At first I thought this would just be a easy and fun way to get a little workout in, but after doing it a few times I am really blown away by how this is a complete, full body work out that you really work hard at - but not in that "I hate this" kind of way. The studio itself is really beautiful and gives you that "I just rolled into Southern California" vibe. With cool blues and Hawaii/Cali chic decor. And then there is not enough amazing things I can say about the owner, Natasha. She is cool, fun, positive and amazing at Surf Set fitness. I caught the tail end of one of the kids classes; amazing! Kids from 3 - 10 were woking out and having a blast - this is definitely a wonderful way for children to work out in a small class setting. Time to Hang 10 Edmonton!

A couple of months later, I have to return to take off a star. If you'd like to see my thoughts on…read morethe workout experience at Orangetheory, please expand my previous review for more details. Since doing the single class in August, I've been bothered by weekly phone calls asking me to come back for more classes. The voicemails left have varying details, with some saying I can have more free classes, others saying I can access an introductory rate, and even others saying that I signed up as a lululemon practice member, but then didn't attend the class. Many other studios I have visited called or emailed with follow-up, but left it at a single call or message. Pro tip for management: if I didn't call you back after the first, second, third or fourth calls, then a fifth probably isn't necessary. I really hate high pressure sales tactics, and the predatory nature of some private gym chains. I'm pretty unimpressed with this business model, and won't be returning for more classes, free or otherwise.

The staff is super friendly at this location. I ended up forgetting my gym shoes here and…read morethankfully they don't throw anything out at the end of the night! This is an insanely busy location. I'm honestly not used to the sheer amount of people who go here. I thought downtown was busy but this is nothing. Almost every class is waitlisted! I think there are people here signing up months in advance which is totally admirable, but makes it hard to get in. The classes that I recommend are in the afternoon, and that works for me since I work from home. If you're trying to get in before work it'll be tough... not going to lie. The layout of this OTF is old-school. They have that back area where it just feels like there isn't enough room for the weight part of the classes. You feel very cramped when working out and the TRXs are not aligned with the benches, so you need to use them at an angle. There is, however, parking! Which I love! Can't hate on parking.
