Imprint Pilates

I can warmly recommend Imprint Pilates for their services. Having moved recently I needed to find a new Pilates studio and came across Imprint Pilates and I have to say that it is by far the best studio I went to yet. The trainers are all very professional and well trained. My problem with a lot of other studios always was that the classes weren’t challenging enough, but at Imprint Pilates they try to give you a personalized experience and for the first time I was quite challenged by the different moves and felt great after finishing my lessons. Therefore if you search a studio, which can accommodate your specific needs, don’t search any longer and try Imprint Pilates!

I’ve been going here for a few years now and have enjoyed it immensley. The instructors are excellent and really listen to each client’s individual needs (well they always have with me anyway). They are very hands on and strict about doing the exercises properly (which is good) and will adjust you to do them properly when needed.
The studio is no frills and the floors could stand to be improved or replaced but I certainly enjoy myself.

Working out at Imprint Pilates has been one of the best values that I’ve ever discovered. In the course of one hour, and less money than I could have imagined I get a workout that not only makes me stronger for my sport but also works to minimize an injuries that are inevitable for an athlete in her late 40’s. Not that anyone could guess I was in my late 40’s because Pilates also keeps me youthful.
Anita is fantastic as an instructor and clearly inspiring and motivating as a business owner. All her staff are up to the high standard that she has set.
And, it’s such a fun atmosphere.

I bought a 10 class pass a while ago through a Groupon deal. I’ve been to a few yoga studios in this city and what really makes Imprint stand out is the small classes and attentive, knowledgable, and friendly instructors. Furthermore, the instructors have very calm voices and don’t talk too much. I’ve been to a few classes at other studios and the instructors keep talking while you’re trying to do balance poses and I find it incredibly distracting. At imprint I always leave their yoga classes feeling rejuvenated. The pilates class was great too, I loved the focus on not straining the lower back and maintaining your ‘imprint’.
In terms of the atmosphere, it’s pretty no frills and there’s no showers that I’m aware of. The studio isn’t really big but it perfectly fits about 8 people (which is a full class size). I like this more than studios with 30 people in a class and the instructor never gets to see if you’re doing anything wrong. My only gripe would be that the changeroom doors face the reception desk so if someone opens the door then people outside can see right in.

Where do I start?!
I can not say enough about this studio. I have had back problems since I was 18 due to a serious car accident and have tried everything under the sun (many different physiotherapists, massage, all types of regular exercise, swimming, yoga, community centre pilates classes, etc.). I’m currently 7 months pregnant — still rockin’ the classes, but in the first few months of the pregnancy my back was getting worse.
My husband also has back issues (a herniated disk to be exact). He got wind of this studio and decided to make use of the intro class special. He went and was hooked, signing up for private classes. His condition began to improve so I decided to give it a whirl — he was kind of the guinea pig! I’m now hooked too.
Together, we do the semi-​private classes because we both need modified programs. My husbands’ back is healing and I have never felt better. My pain level has decreased dramatically and the work outs are just awesome. Full-​body, kick your butt work. We’ve had sessions with three different trainers and they are all incredible.
I would recommend this studio to anyone who has back issues, wants a safe pregnancy workout, or… well, I’d recommend it to anyone. This place is the greatest!
