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.

Came for a reformers pilates and was hooked!…read more I was greeted by Christina, one of the owners of the studio and she gave me a quick tour of the place, letting me know of all the other workout classes they also offer. The upstairs is where the reformer pilates takes place and is the newer part of the studio. The studio is clean and super welcoming. They have spin, barre classes, mat pilates and reformer pilates. I made my way upstairs where the room was beautifully lit from all the big windows. The workout itself was a 5/5, as it worked me hard! Loved Christina's energy in motivating the class and fixing people's forms if they were off. The music choice was also very good and upbeat. Reformers pilates level 2 is definitely a tough one that will get your body shaking in ways you didn't know it could. I left the class feeling super energized and happy. I can't wait to come back again and again! Would highly recommend this studio for all!

I think that this business is now permanently closed. I'm…read moreglad, because several years ago, I worked for them as a yoga instructor. My classes met with approval, but seeing the inner workings of the business, it felt like anything but a safe and calming space. This all happens behind the peaceful shivasana (relaxation) and neck massages. I rarely write this sort of review, but seeing the tense, inner atmosphere of the organization, versus the calm, accepting facade, is just unacceptabe. The classes and instructors are good, and the training is solid. There is a falsity about this place that turned me off yoga once I saw through the facade. Sorry, but this was my experience. I hope to get back into yoga sometime soon, at a different place, for sure.

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. I would have spent more time there to be honest, seemed like a great neighborhood. Being from out of town, I inquired through Facebook.
