REFORM Health & Fitness

Fantastic experience: Reform truly stands out as the premier Pilates/Lagree studio. After undergoing a total hysterectomy, my recovery journey was challenging. Thankfully, I discovered Reform and enrolled in their protocol. Attending sessions three times a week, under Heather's guidance, I regained my strength. Heather's emphasis on alignment was pivotal in my progress, and her unwavering support made all the difference. The quality of instruction at Reform surpassed all experience I had. Thanks to the dedicated team, I not only achieved a 5% reduction in body fat but also gained 4 pounds of muscle. Grateful for the transformative experience ❤️

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great facility. Mikylah was a great instructor and did a wonderful job guiding everybody through the workout. It was my first time on this machine so I appreciated the corrections and thorough explanations. I will definitely come back and try a more advanced class! I recommend it for those interested in trying Pilates. There are different levels which is great and approachable for all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: LOVE LOVE LOVE I was headed for a burn out, after recently finishing a competitive double doctorate in a medical field, starting a new scientist position, an international move, and personal challenges - that all happened in a span of one year. Knowing the benefits of exercise for mental health, after researching several fitness programs, I decided to try out the Reform Method. Before I knew it, the classes became my “happy place”. Having had the opportunity to study and work in Europe for over 6 years, I’ve worked-out at boutique studios in Amsterdam, London, Oxford, and Paris. All of them now seem pale in comparison to all that Reform Ottawa Health & Fitness offers. The only thing that shines brighter than Heather’s 25+ years experience and expertise, is her passionate and nurturing spirit. Marcel’s knowledge is remarkably all encompassing, which he generously shares to help one’s progress as though it is his dearest friend. After 4 months, going 4x/week, it is remarkable to me to experience such high standard in attributes in all the teachers and team working at the studio. The studio is aptly named REFORM.

Fantastic experience: After doing all the yoga classes I could for my Hip pain and Sciatica. I started Reform - I’m on week 7 and the pain has gone completely. I feel stronger and longer , my posture is so much better . Heather and her staff are so talented. They are so welcoming and always happy to see you, such Positive energy. I love this studio! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've tried so many programs and specialists for my body pain but Reform is one of the only things that has helped. Heather and her team are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, approachable and professional. It's a great workout that doesn't take too much time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love this full body workout that is physically challenging and makes me feel great after every workout! The instructors are amazing as they provide professional personalized attention

Fantastic experience: Heather, Diana and the team are superb. Really care about clients. Always professional. Been seeing Heather for over 15 years. The studio is impeccably clean. All employees are hyper covid protective. If you want to return to an exercise regime, this is the place to try. Small classes, clean environment and private sessions available.

Fantastic experience: As an aging skateboarder who's collected a lifetime of injuries and is now mostly stuck behind a desk, reform has been the perfect fit to keep me going. No impact, slow & steady strengthening and hands-on personalized instruction on form and goals from the incredibly knowledgable and experienced staff/instructors/ownership. My posture, stamina, and strength have improved significantly, and many of my chronic injuries have been managed by consistent strengthening of muscle groups around "precarious" joints like knees and shoulders, allowing me the ongoing opportunity to see what else I can break skateboarding. The price of classes and membership are arguably high, when compared to other available workouts in town, BUT, the fore-mentioned attention from well trained instructors, even in full capacity classes and the style of workout, for me, have been on par, if not better than my extensive experience with one on one physiotherapy. Well worth it. What else can I say? I came in for a free guest class with a friend 3 years ago and haven't left :) Oh yes.. and I went down 2 pant sizes in the first month or two..but that also came with a diet and lifestyle adjustment. GO TRY IT OUT :)

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for an amazing workout with the friendliest and most knowledgable staff out there - try out Reform Health & Fitness! When I first joined reform I had never been on a reformer or megaformer at all, now the reform method is my favourite workout out there. It truly is the ultimate workout as it combines not only strength training but has a cardio and stretching element as well. I look forward to my Reform classes and always feel fabulous after as well. Thank you to the Reform Health & Fitness team!

Fantastic experience: great staff, great workouts, highly reccomend it !

Fantastic experience: I hadn't been to a reformer class in years, Diana and Heather were so incredible at making me feel welcomed and supported through the class. The classes themselves are incredible and make me want to constantly work out for the first time in what feels like forever but it is truly the environment that they create that make it SUCH a joy to come to here. I won't stop talking about how outstanding this place is and I will be making everyone in my life come to classes with me!

Fantastic experience: I always enjoy going to the studio!! Everyone is very welcoming, the staff is friendly and always available to offer support in class if needed! I definitely recommend this studio if you like a good workout!

Fantastic experience: First of all, this is not Eric Honey, it is his wife, Suzanne. I don’t have a Gmail account. If you want to see a difference, feel a difference and be amazed at what a full body workout on a mega reformer can do for you, you need to join Reform. This fitness studio is unique and unparallelled in the city. You will fall in love with the Reform method, and you will work out at your own personal fitness level. The classes are small (max 12 people), and the movement coaches are amazing: positive, helpful, personable. You will NOT regret trying it. I have been a reformer for about three years. I was terrified at first but quickly became addicted to it. I lost several inches in total from my bust, waist, belly and hips within the first 5 months. Visit their website, read about the Reform method. There are many different packages and memberships to suit everyone. I simply cannot say enough about it. Join Reform and become body strong!!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Reform for many years and would highly recommend them. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and caring. The studio is spotless! The reform method has improved my flexibility, balance and strength significantly. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending reform since 2018 on a regular basis, including while recovery from a pregnancy and an illness. At every step they have tailored my workouts on a personal basis during regular classes when I let them know what was going on. I have gotten to know the different instructors and found them all to be wonderful. They are quite focused on avoiding injury and keeping everyone safe as they learn to use the reformer machines. The workout is as challenging as you make it on any given day, whether you are in top shape or just looking for a total body tone. A big misconception is that this is "just pilates", which is just wrong. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I can type an essay but you have to try it to know how amazing the workouts are. Yes they are difficult but within few sessions it gets better. I don't think there is anything else out there that will do what mega reformer can :)

Fantastic experience: Just completed a 42day challenge at Reform to challenge myself and work on stability and strength. I typically attend a lot of cardio focused gym classes so Reform is such a great addition to work on my resistance training! It’s a great total body workout:) I learned the importance of taking my time and focusing - physically and mentally the challenge was enjoyable and certainly helped me focus! Would do it again :)!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending the level 2 classes for 6 weeks now and I'd strongly recommend this workout to anyone trying to get stronger, more toned, and flexible without getting injured from weight lifting. The instructors are very helpful, knowledgable, and motivating. I love the fact that a group of folks of different levels and strengths can enjoy the same workout and receive a personal touch for spring load weight from the instructors. Let's not forget the music...the best!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, very clean facility and an amazing full body workout ! Our friend Ashley recommended we go take a look at the studio. We were nervous at the start but after having our introductory private sessions with Megan, Diana and Heather we really look forward to our Reform adventures.

Fantastic experience: Honestly I'm legitimately shocked at how much I've fallen in love with this workout. I just finished the 2 week unlimited (can't wait to keep going), and it's truly crazy how fast it has almost completely realigned my body, building the right muscle structure for what I'm working towards. I'm more aware of my posture which is one million % better/stronger, and chronic knee/hip pain is completely gone. Wizards? I think so. Could not rank this workout and the amazing teachers at this studio high enough.

Fantastic experience: I had chronic neck problems and was seeing a physiotherapist nearly every week. My neck was so bad that I could not knit (something I love to do to relax as my job is very demanding and stressful). I have been doing the reform method for about 4 months now and I love it. My neck pain is gone and I can now sit and knit without pain. The last time I saw my physiotherapist she asked me what I had been doing because my neck is in great shape and I no longer need to see her so regularly. I am stronger and I feel great. I am a huge fan of the reformer method and have been telling everyone about Reform Health and Fitness! I also love the staff who are all welcoming and very helpful. Its nice to go to a studio where everyone knows your name!

Fantastic experience: I am 67 years old with severe arthritis in both knees. I had to stop my walk/run exercise because of the pain. My daughter suggested that I go with her to Reform. I was hesitant as, I had never done this type of exercise before. After three months, I now attend my classes faithfully every week and find it easy to integrate into my schedule due to their numerous class options. The expertise expressed by their movement coaches unparallel in the city. This has been a great investment in my health & fitness. I strongly recommend people with physical discomfort to try this workout method.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING workout! A fantastic combination of stretching, resistance training, and cardio, all in 25min. Worth a visit!

Fantastic experience: So addicted to this place !!!! I’ve been here for a little over a month and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my strength . The staff are amazing love them all and the studio is so clean ! This place is a GAME CHANGER !

Fantastic experience: For years I've been the kind of person that likes the idea of the gym more than workout itself. The thought of lifting heavy weights, pacing the room endlessly waiting for a machine to open up, or the feeling of constant intimidation from those around me was enough to make me give up on ever being a part of workout culture - until I found Reform. First of all, the environment at the studio has yet to be anything but graciously welcoming, you couldn't ask for better coaches. As for the classes, they are perfectly sized, surprisingly challenging, and so conveniently condensed. For the first time in my life I am actively waking up and thinking "how can I get to Reform today" rather than making excuses to avoid the gym. If you're on the fence, this couch potato at heart would HIGHLY suggest giving it a try

Fantastic experience: What a great alternative to a typical gym workout. Friendly staff, clean and felt fantastic to slow down. Thank you and tickle to Jake the dog

Fantastic experience: A good friend of mine told me about this place and it did not disappoint. For someone looking for a safe, intense, effective workout that Isn’t your typical “lift the weight and set them back down” workout - then you have got to give this a try. I was sceptical but I could not believe how quickly I saw the effects of this workout helping me in other disciplines and in my every day life. Not to mention the reform team of instructors are all amazing, welcoming, patient and committed to ensuring you have a great workout! Want to move better? Check out Reform. This workout is no joke!

Fantastic experience: I've loved this workout from the first time I tried it, and saw how strong I have become after a 5-day ski trip to Whistler. My entire family was complaining after day 3, but my legs were not sore, or even tired! The studio is beautiful and every member of staff is a joy to be around. Reform is amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Since doing the classes a couple times a week, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in myself, especially with my lower back pain, now the pain is gone for good. I would recommend that everyone try this and see the benifits it can have for them as well

Fantastic experience: Excited to finally have this workout in Ottawa! I managed to squeeze two classes today and I feel awesome! Heather’s snergy is great and she’s always looking out to make sure you’re doing each excercisw right! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing results! Love everything about this place.
