About

Pinewood Pilates & Movement is a small Pilates studio in Old Toronto near Christie and St. Clair, run by Kiri, whom many reviewers credit for its tone. Group reformer classes take four people, with semi-private and private sessions also offered, and the timetable includes Sunday morning mat Pilates, a mixed mat and hatha class and candlelight yoga. Mats are provided, the room is airy and bright, and parking is easy. Members stress that instructors watch everyone's form and modify for knee or wrist pain without making anyone feel singled out, and several describe a body-positive, judgment-free community. Andrea is singled out for classes that are funny and fast-moving yet hard work, and Ashley for a well-balanced mat and hatha class. The reviews contain no complaints.

    I look forward to going to Pinewood every week! Everyone has been so welcoming, supportive, and kind, and after going regularly for the past few months, I’ve definitely felt the physical and mental benefits of Pilates. It’s always a judgment-free zone, from the instructors to the community. Andrea in particular is so positive and funny that you forget you’re actually working pretty hard, and the classes fly by. I love this studio!

    The studio is a real gem in the neighbourhood. The classes are effective, and the instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive from start to finish. There’s a great variety of classes to choose from — I especially love the Sunday morning mat Pilates sessions, and I recently started trying Reformer Pilates for the first time. With only four people in the class, it feels very personalized and the time flies by! Thank you Kiri and all the teachers.

    We recently started at Pinewood Pilates My husband did extensive research, and we thought Pinewood was a great fit for us. Well, we couldn't be happier with our choice. We absolutely love it. Kiri and her team of instructors are knowledgeable and professional, and they all make sure you get a great workout using the right positions and techniques. They try their best to accommodate everyone's schedules, which we greatly appreciate. The classes are small and intimate. All the instructors watch your form to ensure you are doing all the exercises correctly, and if not, they help you. Pinewood, thank you for taking such good care of us. We are thrilled. We both hope to be clients for many more years to come.
