What to Bring and Wear

Feel free to dress in whatever attire makes you feel comfortable and allows for unrestricted movement. Grip socks or clean (indoor use only) runners are suitable footwear options. If you don’t have grip socks, don’t fret! We offer a variety of grip socks for sale at the studio. Remember to bring water and stay hydrated during your workout.

Getting Acquainted with Our Space

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early for your first class to ensure that you feel fully prepared and confident to move with us. We will provide you with a tour of the studio and help you set up for class. If you’re unable to arrive early, don’t worry! Your instructor will have put out the props that will be used in class in the instructor’s spot, located front and centre, ensuring optimal visibility for everyone attending. You can simply grab your props from our equipment wall at the back of the studio and set them under a free spot at the barre. For mat-based classes, grab a mat and any other props set out and find a suitable space to lay it down.

What Class to Take

What class you should take truly depends on what kind of workout you are looking for. We offer classes that are high impact, low impact and everywhere in between. In a perfect world, the class style of your choice would be offered on the day/time you are looking for, but we all know this world is far from perfect – ha! So, even if you are a beginner and/or don’t want to jump and the only class you can make that day is higher impact, let your instructor know and they will be happy to offer multiple movement options throughout the class. Low impact options will be offered for all high impact movements in every class. If you are recovering from an injury, have a movement limitation or just don’t like doing a certain move, let your instructor know before class so it will be fresh in their minds when calling out the movements. Something didn’t feel right during class? Chat with your instructor after class and you can workshop some different options for your next workout. With that being said, the best classes for beginners are Barre + Stretch, Barrelates, Yoga and Pilates. Middle of the road classes are Barre and Barre Sculpt. Our “hardest” classes are HIIT, Strength + Sweat and Power.
