Pilates North

Expérience fantastique: From the very first conversation I had with Rachel, I knew Pilates North was something special. The sense of community and warmth is evident right from the start, and that feeling has only grown since joining. I’ve had the privilege of working with many of their incredible trainers (Lisa, Renata, Natalia & Marion), and I honestly can’t pick a favorite—they’re all fantastic in their own unique way. Each instructor brings their own style and expertise, which keeps every session fresh, challenging, and rewarding. Their Pilates mat and reformer classes are incredible, but what really keeps me coming back is the variety. I’ve also loved their Arms, TRX, and core ball sessions—they’re such a great way to mix things up while still feeling strong and accomplished after every class. If you’re looking for a studio that’s supportive, professional, and full of great energy, I can’t recommend Pilates North enough. It’s a place where you feel welcomed, encouraged, and part of something truly special!

Expérience fantastique: Lovin’ pilates! Great way of targeting areas that need strengthening and toning with whatever body type you have!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been taking classes at Pilates North for over a year now and I couldn’t recommend it enough! When I was first starting, I really appreciated the fact they had an introduction class pack. This gave me a foundational understanding of how to properly move and breathe through beginner-friendly exercises that would eventually prepare me for more advanced classes. People may think Pilates is easy but it requires an immense amount of both physical and mental strength. I can fully trust Pilates North to get an authentic Pilates experience. Renata has been my go-to instructor and she is phenomenal! She has curated the perfect balance of instructing classes that push our limits so we can grow but are equally fun and playful. I’ve also had the privilege of attending classes from their other instructors (for make-up classes) and they have all been incredible as well! The studio that Rachel and Lisa have created is so warm and welcoming. No matter what type of day I had - but especially on stressful days, I can always look forward to coming in to do intentional movement that makes me look and feel stronger and helps calm my mind. Thank you so much Pilates North!

Expérience fantastique: Spotless studio, extremely helpful teachers who constantly correct bad form, friendly staff. What else could you want? In just a few weeks I have my abs starting to show and my arms look amazing. Lisa and Natalya are great. Thanks twins!

Expérience fantastique: I was lucky to discover Pilates North two years ago, and began with private sessions, and then expanded to include group classes. Pilates North is a state of the art facility that maintains best in class equipment, with exceptional classes. Both Lisa and Rachel are very professional, honest, and truly care about their clients. They are extremely responsive and very committed to helping their clients achieve their goals. Lisa has unparalleled expertise in Pilates, anatomy, and is a leader within the industry. She utilizes a multi disciplinary approach with her clients to elevate their performance. Their team is well trained, knowledgeable, and the small group class size affords individual attention and feedback. Pilates North has helped to transform my body, increase my energy levels, and rehabilitate my back and wrist. I always feel better after the sessions and feel so blessed to have found the studio. I love Pilates North and it is truly “my happy place”. Rachel J

Expérience fantastique: I *love* Pilates North! I originally saw the studio mentioned in a post on Instagram alongside a video of one of the Core Ball classes the studio offers, and it looked so fun and challenging that I called the studio and signed up for classes. Best decision I made! I started with an intro class once a week and progressed to intermediate pilates, stretching, and the challenging Core Ball classes. The teachers and staff are extremely knowledgeable and the classes are fun and challenging. There is a strong community within the studio and I feel a sense of belonging even as a newer student surrounded by those who have attended classes for several years longer than I have. The foundation of strength I've built up in classes has made other challenging workouts I do feel easier and more sustainable, and thanks to Lisa and Rachel and their team I feel a real sense of accomplishment--seeing progression over the successive weeks...and now years since I began! <3

Expérience fantastique: I have been a client at Pilates North for 18 years. This was the best choice I have ever made in looking after myself and my physical well-being. The owners, Rachel and Lisa, are caring and professional always. They truly care about each of their clients and are always available to help in any way they can. Lisa has been my instructor for all these years and I can't say enough about her knowledge and expertise in Pilates as well as knowing our bodies and helping us to improve in every way so that we achieve our goals. Pilates North has helped me tremendously and if you are considering a studio that really cares about their clients, this is the place!

Expérience positive: I trained at Pilates North for a number of years before, during and after the pandemic. The boutique model is terrific! It's an intimate studio where everyone progresses at the same time. The instructors are very well trained and most are very attentive and corrective as needed. However, from a business perspective the owners (who happen to be siblings) have been on occasion, unprofessional. If you have a concern or complaint, don't expect ownership to be accountable, they will simply blame the client and then exclude you from their business.

Expérience fantastique: Best pilates studio! Classes are small and instructors are all excellent at guiding you through exercises with proper form.Great Covid protective measures with Surgical grade air filtration. Lovely welcoming atmosphere.Has helped my back and knee issues tremendously. Love the flexibility of online and in studio classes.

Expérience fantastique: Instructors at Pilates North are attentive, very knowledgeable, and have helped me immensely with a chronic lower back problem. I’m feeling stronger, and happier. It’s a clean, welcoming studio as well. I highly recommend classes here.

Expérience fantastique: I starting going to Pilates North back in 2010. I have tried different workouts and wasn't able to stick to any with conviction. I like that at Pilates North you sign up for a class at a specific day and time so that it becomes part of your routine. I also enjoy the attention the instructor gives each client with the smaller class sizes. The instructors really focus on form and movement so you know you are doing the exercises properly. Pilates North is a community and one that I truly enjoy being apart of. I recommend it to all my friends!

Expérience fantastique: I first started going to Pilates North over 12 years ago on the recommendation of a friend and have not looked back since. Lisa and Rachel run a great studio. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable having gone through extensive training. The classes are small and therefore you get the attention you need to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. The bonus is that I've made some great friends as well! I highly recommend Pilates North.

Expérience fantastique: After trying out power yoga and moshi yoga, I came across Pilates North that offers small classes which was exactly what I was looking for. Being new to pilates, I was happy to follow their well-planned class structure which helped me gain basic skill to explore different type of classes. All instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The classes have improved my body awareness and posture since 2007 and coming to the studio has become part of my lifestyle. I strongly believe that the training help me in other sports, and led to a faster broken ankle recovery. After a long day of desk work, Pilates North is truly a happy place when I can pause, listen to my body, and doing something good to it.

Expérience fantastique: I've been coming to Pilates North for almost 7 years now and the staff and owners have gone out of their way since day one. I felt welcomed with open arms. The trainers are thoughtful and knowledgeable. Concern is taken into account with injuries so that they don't get worse, and instead get better. Reception staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile. Thanks Lisa and Rachel for making this place feel like home. #happyplace

Expérience fantastique: I have been attending Pilates North studio for the past year, and absolutely love the warm and welcoming environment. The studio has a great following of dedicated clientele. Regardless of the class or instructor, the experience has always been positive and fun! I would highly recommend the studio!

Expérience fantastique: Been coming to Pilates North for years and have finally found something I not only enjoy but that has helped me gain confidence in myself. Classes are great and the trainer's make them even better.

Expérience fantastique: only if google has an option to give out 6 stars out of 5 I absolutely love this place!! I started going to Pilates North after my back-to-back pregnancy and I have not worked out in 4 years. My instructor for barre and coreball, Lisa, motivated me to do more than I ever thought I could (which is exactly what i needed). Even though these are group classes, all of us felt as if we got a personal trainer and all of this is because of how much attention Lisa paid to each and everyone of us. Being a mother of two young kids, I feel a lot healthier and confident in myself after attending Pilates North, and I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a healthy change!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing place! Such a great atmosphere. You can tell that everyone who works there really enjoys thier job. All the trainers are excellent and they are always making sure to be aware of your injuries etc. If you require more customized classes they offer private sessions in lieu of classes. I was apprehensive at first to start at "beginner" level as I am an active person but you really do need to learn the basics and understand your body before progressing properly. They really know what they are doing- you have to trust thier system. I have been going for over two years, twice a week. Such diverse class offerings - something for everyone. I love this studio and will continue to refer my friends and family.

Expérience fantastique: I had doubts when I first started, but now I can't live without going there 3 times a week. All the instructors are super amazing, accommodating and no short cuts with them when it comes to working out! :)

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Pilates North for over 3 years now.  I have had the experience to try many different classes and have had many different  instructors and they have never disappointed. I started attending classes once a week and now I attend three a week. My experience at Pilates North has been amazing. Having to deal with a major back issue each instructor has taken the time to help me understand what works for me and what doesn't. From the customer service,  to the instructors, to the classes, I give them all 5 stars. I have never seen or been to a studio that is just so great!

Expérience négative: Was not informed that assessment had a cost when I booked it over the phone. Got surprised with a hundred dollar invoice upon leaving. Last I checked that's called a private, not an assessment. It also means that you should give me exercises for my body, not a preset list you have for your assessment. The attitude at front desk seemed more oriented toward serving the studio than serving the client. Instead of finding solutions this person was looking to find barriers to my getting questions answered.

Expérience fantastique: I have been a physiotherapist working for eight years in the Richmond Hill area and have personally referred many patients to Pilates North. They are an extremely reputable Pilate’s studio with highly qualified instructors offering challenging, fun classes for all levels. Their knowledge and experience in functional movements and core stabilization, and their ability to accommodate exercises for patients recovering from injuries is why they continue to be my top choice for anyone looking for continued rehabilitation or overall well-being!
