PROS: * Convenient location * Total body workout * Friendly service * Clean studio * Good sound system * Exercise equipment provided * Complimentary Sage products in the washroom for use CONS: * Carpet in studio (causes rug burn on the palms at times!) * They only offer two types of classes (classic and power). I usually attend the weekday classes after 5pm and they only offer the "classic" classes between Mon-Thurs evenings. I would love if they could throw a power class into one of the Mon-Thurs evening time slots. * Not much variety within classes themselves. It's the same exercise routine every class - I would love if they could switch things up a bit. Some of the cues that the instructors provide seem robotic and you can tell they are just going through the same motions every class.

This barre location has a big studio. It's carpeted, which makes it nice and soft, but also a bit…read moreweird for a gym where people sweat. They have fans going for temperature control, although I imagine if you are on the side of the studio where you are in the sun, it probably gets warm fast. They has two instructors at the open house class, which I tried, Kristin and Connie. This was kind of nice because it meant there was always one instructor free to correct people's form. Everyone working here was friendly. I found the method here was more like pilates than other barre classes. The class used lots of equipment and it was all provided (mats, ball, bands, weights, cushions). A nice touch is that towels were provided for working out. There are showers but only one washroom. The locker area is pretty small and there ends up being a bit of a line to change/access them. Since I attended an open house, they had a clothing pop up, mini facials and fresh juice. Epsom salts were given after the class to newbies and a one month deal. Newbies also were strategically placed between people with previous experience at the studio so there was a lot of thought put into making the experience good. Staff and instructors made sure to introduce themselves to newbies and to watch them during classes to provide extra assistance. They also checked in after the class ended. The negatives are that there is a dress code for this studio that includes no shorts and no midriff showing. I appreciate that this policy applies to all genders, but it is also a bit much, especially the shorts part and not great if you overheat easily. It is also a bit comtrary to body positivity. Another thing to note is that there is no instructor doing the moves with you so it is hard to follow if you are a visual person. The instructions are all verbal and that can be tricky.

Would never have known about this studio if not for finding it on Class Pass. The studio is not…read morevisible from the street, but the entrance is off a parking lot in the alley. Maybe it would be worth trying to put a sandwich board out on one of the main streets so people are aware. This is a small business and the owner, Jade, teaches many of the classes. She is super friendly and you can really see the effort she put into making the studio a nice space. There is tasteful decor that a lot of bigger studios can't be bothered to do. After entering, you go up some stairs. If there is a previous class, you will need to wait in the stairwell until the class is let out as the door is locked. Not a great waiting area, but also a common thing to do to prevent theft so I don't mind it. The reception has a couple of chairs and a shoe rack to place your shoes. There is also a water cooler and towels to use during the workout. This studio does require grip socks, so bring your own or you can purchase branded ones at the front desk (props to the owner for branding these socks!). Otherwise, all equipment is provided including mats, weights and Pilates balls. There is one washroom, which was nicely decorated and had towels instead of paper towels (plus for sustainability). The washroom also had a few toiletries like hairspray and Kayne a spray deodorant? There are two cha ge rooms, a coat rack and lockers with provided locks and keys. It's a small area but functional. The studio itself is a really nice airy space with hardwood floors. There are tons of windows and bars all around, plus a mirror on one wall. I would be concerned about being in the sun on the window side, but the studio has pretty decent AC so it didn't get that hot. The instructor stands in the middle but also moved around to either end during the class, so there was good engagement. Sound system worked well. The class was unique from other barre fusion type classes because we did a bunch of planks and push ups (did not expect this!) and then sections with weights and abs on the floor. I would say there's probably 40% full barrel and the rest is either not barre, but might incorporate some barre concurrently. There was a lot of time under tension, which was good. At the end, there was disinfectant spray and towels to wipe down equipment. The demographic here is pretty mixed across ages and body types. I think it's a pretty welcoming space for people of all abilities. It shows that Jade really puts a lot into this studio and business and I encourage people to give it a try as they seem to have a lot of promotions. I hope it gets more exposure!

Sculpt your body, feel the burn…read more Sculpt Intervals with Jade was, by far, one of the best classes I've taken! It was a fast-paced workout with minimal breaks and great music to push my limits and keep me pumped throughout. Jade, the owner and our instructor, took us through a range of low impact, isometric movements, at times with weights added. My muscles felt like they were on fire (a lunge and curtsy combo is no joke!) with each interval. Jade's energy, enthusiasm, and clear instructions made the pain more bearable though. If it's your first time, I suggest doing a class through ClassPass like I did and perhaps trying the Intro Offer ($69 for 2 weeks unlimited) after. Note that the studio is quite small and hard to find, and you'll be waiting in the stairwell to be let in. It is a very clean and cozy space though, with lockers, change rooms, a washroom, and small towels provided.

The minute I step into the studio, I know the class is going to be hard and I get excited. Throughout the hour, we participate in multiple exercises in which we strengthen our arms, backs, thighs, abs, and seats. The exercises are tough as you work to fatigue your muscles. The intense exercises are followed by deep stretches. Even after a year of working hard, I still find this workout a challenge and I become more motivated to accomplish new goals. Whether it be more push-ups on my toes, getting lower in thigh, or going into L shape, each aspiration keeps me going. On top of the great workout, the staff is incredibly friendly and supportive. Not only do the instructors take little time to remember the name of each person, but they also keep an eye on you to make sure you are in finest form, ensuring that you get the best workout possible. Taking a class with Emily Goodrich is always fun because while she keeps everyone working hard, she cracks jokes to make the class a little more enjoyable. If you want to become stronger, more toned, or increase your flexibility, trying a bar class is a must!

This gym is unequivocally the worst fitness experience in the lower mainland. Equipment is…read moreregularly taken over by personal trainers. In fact, several times throughout the week, at peak periods FW staff trainers hold classes that uses the entire gym making it impossible to train independently. There's only one set of pretty much any equipment which means your often waiting for weights and benches. The washrooms are never cleaned and often in disrepair. Equipment is rarely wiped down by members even if FW actually filled the hygiene stations. It's disgusting. More importantly, it is not a safe space and there's no staff on site if aggressive individuals are present. People regularly fob in large unpaying groups. When asked about this, FW says "there's nothing we can do". You're better off doing pushups in your living room.
