Wicked Barre

Expérience fantastique: Best instructors,as a member ,I feel inclusivity in the classroom. I have been trying many studios.still it’s the number one.

Expérience fantastique: My class with Masha was a perfect blend of static pose, dynamic movements for resistance training, core engagement, and stretching. It was challenging but the instructor was always aware of all participants and constantly explained and encouraged us.

Expérience fantastique: I really enjoyed the space. It was clean, staff were welcoming and the instructor was really good. I will be back!

Expérience fantastique: targets muscles you didn’t even know existed! definitely feel the burn. i had absolutely no core when starting off with the classes and now i have pretty decent balance/core strength. switched from a gym rat to a full time pilates/yoga goer. also, the workout space is aesthetically appealing :)

Expérience négative: I recently visited your establishment that left me a bit underwhelmed, and I feel it's worth sharing my honest thoughts. First, the reformers and accessories seemed pretty standard, but honestly, not impressive. They didn't feel as durable or polished as other studios I've been to, especially when compared to some top-tier spaces in Montreal where every piece of equipment feels well-maintained and thoughtfully curated. The overall vibe of the studio didn't do much to elevate the experience either. The space reminded me more of an old ballet studio—stale and a little outdated. The walls had an unfinished, worn look, and the poles seemed like they hadn’t been properly refreshed in a while. The music setup also left a lot to be desired. There was a single speaker in the back, and the sound quality was poor, with no bass, which made it hard to get into the rhythm of the class. In contrast, I have access to two Pilates studios in Montreal that set a much higher bar. The attention to detail in every aspect of those places—whether it’s the music, the quality of the merch, the careful scheduling, or the highly attentive instructors—really stands out. The experience at those studios feels intentional and well thought out, making each class feel special and personalized. I was surprised to discover this studio felt rushed, almost like it was trying to fit too much into too little space. It's not a bad spot if you're just looking for a basic Pilates session, but if you're someone who values the atmosphere and overall experience, you might be disappointed.

Expérience fantastique: Bianca truly kicked our flow’s butt! She paid close attention to the different muscles used and differentiated her workouts to flow into eachother with ease. It was challenging, but that’s what you look for when you’re trying to feel good about your body mentally and physically! Definitely a must try class for anyone looking for encouragement, openness and warm environment spaces

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love this studio. I had the reformer class with Luda yesterday. It was fun and are a great workout. Staffs and instructors are all very nice and welcoming. Would highly recommend!!

Expérience négative: They should start labelling classes based on level. Went to a class and it seemed like it was the instructor’s first time teaching, she kept referring to us as beginners.

Expérience fantastique: I recently attended the Pilates class with Mahsa as my instructor, and I am truly grateful for her dedication. She takes the time to connect with each person in the class, giving individual attention to everyone. Thank you, Mahsa, for your time and care!

Expérience fantastique: Great place for training and nice atmosphere. The trainer was great. Good place with parking

Expérience fantastique: Great environment, excelent trainers !

Expérience fantastique: Anet is a great instructor, accommodating and modifying her instructions as needed. The gym is very clean and well kept. The staff are very welcoming.

Expérience fantastique: Wicked Barre has a nice, cozy, and modern environment, which makes working out here enjoyable. The instructors vary in style—Yolanda and Payge are fantastic! They're both very patient and take the time to guide you through each posture, creating a supportive atmosphere, especially when students start feeling tired. Mahsa, on the other hand, tends to focus more on her own practice during class. She might be a better fit for students who prefer a more independent experience. Overall, it's a great studio, just be mindful of the instructor that best suits your style."

Expérience fantastique: Luda is the best instructor - love coming to her Reformer classes !!

Expérience fantastique: Love this lovely place! The girl in front desk is sweet and polite! Take springboard and barre with Yolanda, very comfortable!

Expérience positive: I am extremely disappointed with the philosophy of these reformer classes at Wicked Barre. I contacted Tina (owner) 3 times to discuss my concerns but she never called me back. It just makes no sense to me at all. Wicked’s barre is local and I really wanted to do the classes. There is no beginner classes it’s just go and follow everyone else and pray you don’t get hurt. I am 65 with some knee problems and need proper instruction. The Instructors are great but these machines can be dangerous and they can’t watch everyone. As long as you come to classes 5 days a week this is the place for you. There is nothing there for me and no one really cares because I am not experienced in using the reformer. . Beginner classes just don’t make sense to Tina . I just don’t get it!!

Expérience fantastique: LOVE!! Discovered Wicked Barre during my ClassPass free trial and fell in love with the aesthetic, the friendly staff, and the classes. First time I ever did reformer Pilates and I knew I’d have to do it again. Been going ever since and been loving the reformer and the springboard & barre classes. The instructors always switch it up so you’re never doing the exact same routine for each class. They also make sure you’re doing everything mindfully and not pushing on any injuries. I love the reformer classes with Shanyn and the barre classes with Mahsa! Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: The instructors are knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring proper form and technique throughout the session. Great instructors, challenging workouts, and a welcoming atmosphere make every session enjoyable and effective

Expérience fantastique: Love this studio. Laid back atmosphere. All levels welcome. Anat is the kindest, warmest, most knowledgeable instrcutor!

Expérience fantastique: Great studio and welcoming community! The instructors are all really nice and I especially love Yolanda’s classes. She demonstrates moves if necessary and helps correct form. I also like that she suggests modifications to make movements easier or more advanced to accommodate different levels. Overall, fun and challenging classes!

Expérience fantastique: Super convenient and clean. I’ve tried a few instructors and love them both. Tina was great. Anat’s classes are challenging but probably the most unique classes I’ve taken on reformer. She really thinks through muscle groups, breathing, and balance for impact in every class. Def give this place a try.

Expérience fantastique: Anat's Reformer classes are the best!!! Her classes are always different, yet challenging, and cater to an advanced level—not for beginners. The hour always flies by. I highly recommend her classes!

Expérience négative: It's honestly a great studio for the most part as it is reasonably priced, and it's local. It's rather a fun group class, depending on the instructor.. I've tried it with all the instructors, but I think it is a hit or miss with some of them. I gave them a one star as I feel not all their instructors are properly trained. One of the instructors with a very quiet voice she is inconsistent with her numbers. For example it would be 7 on left and 3 on the right side. Through out the whole session I feel my posture is becoming lopsided.. She also isn't clear in telling us thorough instructions. People end up facing all over the place and bumping into each other as we end up the side of the machine where we both clash. Overall, all instructors (except the most experienced one instructor) are not hands on, plus they aren't fluent in English, so it can be challenging to understand.

Expérience négative: Great pilates first time I was here, second class with anat she was extremely aggressive with me, she grabbed the straps from my hands because I wasn’t holding them right (I couldnt see because I was at the front of the class) and she said “look what you’ve done! now you’re working twice as hard” Another time I put the springs in the way I thought she said so did another girl in the class and was like “ugh not blue I said white” definitely don’t recommend coming to her classes if you want to be called out in front of the class and spoken to rudely. I had to leave mid way because I felt so uncomfortable. Writing this to inform others on the experience I had especially as a beginner.

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love this place! The instructors are all 10 out of 10!!

Expérience fantastique: Best classes ever , along with great instructors. Each and every class is different and exciting. Tina the owner is awesome as well.

Expérience fantastique: The best pilates & barre place in Thornhill. I love all the trainers at this place, the owner has built such a great community with very nice people. I absolutely recommend this place to everyone.

Expérience fantastique: Wicked Barre’s instructors all have such care for their clients/guests and take the time to get to know us. They cater their workouts to our abilities, and always help demonstrate where needed! Mahsa is amazing. She is always pushing you to do your best, and it’s even better when she demonstrates what to do on the machines before we start. Super encouraging. Anat is wonderful. She has years of experience and her philosophy behind Pilates makes the class both educating and full of exercise! The owner is so welcoming and this place embodies what it feels like to be comfortable in your own skin !!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing place.

Expérience fantastique: Thank you Tina & Staff for professional, knowledgeable and pleasant studio !!! Not to mention so very clean!!!

Expérience fantastique: Been coming to this studio for a little while. All the instructors are pretty great, however Yolanda is def one of my favourites! Her classes will definitely get you sweating. While some of her moves may be challenging for beginners, she offers different levels of modifications so that you can do the exercises at your own pace. I love that she comes up with unique moves, that I’ve never seen elsewhere, using all parts of the reformer so that attending multiple classes in a week never feels boring or repetitive. Would definitely recommend checking out this studio and signing up with Yolanda if you haven’t before!

Expérience fantastique: So far I have taken 2 classes at the studio. While there are a lot of beds, the energy was incredible and I really got a great workout in! I tried several Pilate studios before and in this one I felt the most relaxed. Yolanda was the instructor and I appreciated how fast paced the class was. Her instructions were clear, and there were a lot of moves I’ve never tried before, and made me become more aware of different parts of my body that I didn’t know could be sore from a workout. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and I’ll be coming back!

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love this studio! All the instructors are kind and very accommodating for all levels. I recently went to a class with Yolanda Chen and my legs were shaking (in the best way) afterwards. She really helped me focus and improve on form which I very much appreciated. Really loved her class and def will go back again

Expérience fantastique: Literally my 2nd home at this point. Love this studio, classes and all the instructions especially Masha Mohsennezhad, Yolanda Chen & Dekkel Bachar . Tina, the owner, and everyone are super friendly, kind and welcoming and care about their customers. Highly recommend!!

Expérience fantastique: Thank you to wicked barre for making me strong and truly redefining my body! This studio has the most amazing instructors who get to know each and everyone one of us and knows when to push us to our fullest potential. This studio is filled with kindness, support, encouragement and truly inspires us to be our best self! I am so strong because of you and so happy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Best studio EVER!!!!

Expérience négative: I was really excited to take my first reformers pilates class, especially since this is the only one in this area. However, would not recommend. My review is as follows: STUDIO SPACE Wicked Barre stuffed as many reformer pilates machines in a small space as possible, which I understand is necessary to keep up with demand, but in turn, it was crowded and some machines were facing different directions so instructions were not clear. When the instructor would tell us to face left, two machines would require the clients to face the wall and could not even see what was happening behind. INSTRUCTOR Yolanda Chen... where to start. I'm going to hope (fingers crossed) it's because she was having a bad day or because it was the last class of the night (8:30 to 9:30), but she wasn't very.. pleasant. Even when I called to confirm the hours because my class was at 8:30pm but google hours stated the studio was closed at 7:30pm, she sounded annoyed and agitated. It was my first time and she was incredibly aggressive and impatient, and that's coming from someone who asked zero questions. She was showing myself and another newbie how to adjust the springs and because the music was on and the space was echo-y, I was mirroring what she said to ensure I heard it correctly. Her response "Well that's what I said, isn't it? Please listen." Afterwards, per her instructions to add "3 red springs", I did so, but I wasn't aware I was supposed to remove the existing white spring. She notices this and proceeds to say (paraphrasing): "Well that's wrong. I told you to put 3 red, I never said white. You should listen". I'm not sure where this tone came from or how it was warranted considering my interaction with her began from the moment I was eagerly listening to her instructions, but it happened and it left a very sour taste in my mouth. Additionally, the instructor verbally tells you what to do without enough visual cues and immediately goes into starting the exercise. You have half the class looking around trying to copy what others are doing and by the time it's figured out, Yolanda is counting down the last few seconds. I was able to keep up for the most part but I noticed many were struggling (myself included) to get into position. A portion of the time the class was doing different workouts because each were interpreting to the best of their abilities. WORKOUT I haven't worked out since before COVID so I am very out of shape but more than half the workout was on my back and I didn't feel any resistance or a "workout" until we got up and started incorporating arm/back exercises. VERDICT It was lacklustre and disappointing considering it was my first experience and I was really excited. I don't have high expectations but basic manners and understanding, especially when you're working for/operating a business that caters to various people at once with different abilities and experience. I'm glad I tried this class once before committing as I was able to get a proper sense of the business. To each their own but this was my experience and I hope it helps anyone interested in reading it. Cheers.

Expérience fantastique: The cleanest Pilates studio ever. Mahsa, Luda, and Amat are just some of my favs. I’ve noticed great results, their workouts are so unique and different!

Expérience fantastique: After trying many different pilates studios, I am so happy I finally found my home. This place is the best and I love that their are many instructors which all have different styles. If you are anything like me and love when the studio is cute then this is the place for you! I love the washroom/change room and overall the energy and aura. Not to mention, Tina the owner of this studio is so sweet and welcoming! They have a 2 class trial deal usually which is nice if you want to just try. Personally, thats not enough for me because I do classes everyday, sometimes twice a day. 11/10 !!

Expérience fantastique: Love this studio! Welcoming, clean, inclusive and fantastic instructors, specifically Luda and Anat. Tina, the owner, is warm and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Been coming for over a year now and it’s hands down the best studio in the GTA. All of the instructors are amazing and so caring. There’s classes running all day long so it fits into my busy schedule… management always responds promptly on the phone as well. Love coming here

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend this studio. I have been taking Reformer Pilates classes for 1+ year at Wicked Barre and really love it! I have tried tons of different work out methods in the past (e.g., spin, yoga, strength training, etc) and Reformer Pilates has definitely made the biggest impact on my strength, well-being, and physique! You will get a full body workout in one hour (arms, core, legs, glutes) and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The staff/instructors are all very friendly and accommodating. Your first class might be a bit intimidating but the instructors are very supportive and encouraging and will give you alternatives based on your fitness level at the time. Give it a try!

Expérience négative: cancelled night before the my first Pilates sessions - but they had a 24 hour policy. It was my first trial session I booked. Had an actual emergency, called and asked the lady on the phone that I had an actual health emergency so I had to cancel am I able to rebook She said three people called they have emergencies and this is policy so basically no. Very “screw you” attitude I said what if it’s an actual emergency, her response - this is policy, sorry - no empathy what so ever - and they clearly don’t care even if it’s a health emergency you pay and lose your money!

Expérience fantastique: Great studio with professional team
