Originally designed by the founder of Pilates (Joseph Pilates), Reformer Pilates is a type of Pilates using a special machine called a reformer. This machine consists of a sliding carriage with adjustable springs that add resistance or support to an exercise. Reformer Pilates never gets boring as there are an infinite number of exercises and variations possible. Come try a class.. We’re confident you will be hooked.

Industry Studio is located on the southeast corner of Dufferin & Dundas Streets. Our street address is 1481 Dundas St West but our entrance is on Dufferin street.  Enter through the double doors on Dufferin just south of Dundas (South of the TTC bus stop). The studio is up the stairs.

Free street parking is available on Dufferin Street just south of Dundas. There is paid street parking along Dundas. Please read signs carefully for time-of-day restrictions.

Our studio operates during the class times found on our schedule. Doors unlock 15 minutes before a scheduled class and lock 5 minutes after the start of each class.

We believe going to an exercise class should be an escape from your everyday life and a special experience. Our studio has clean lines, contemporary décor, wood, plants and natural light.  Our lobby floors are heated to keep your feet cozy. We love it, and we think you will too. Check out our Instagram page for more.

Our classes are conducted on premium Allegro 2 reformer Pilates machines. We utilize a variety of both classical and contemporary Pilates exercises and flows, with an emphasis on strengthening. Our workouts are high intensity and low impact. We want you to get a great and effective workout, while minimizing the risk of injury. The class typically begins with a warmup, a sequence of curated exercises, and a cooldown. The instructor may use a variety of props during the class. The jumpboard classes will give your cardiovascular system a workout.  Our classes are fun, dynamic, and challenging and set to music - all while respecting the founding principles of the Pilates method (breathwork, alignment, centering, control, balance). Our classes generally work your full body (unless you attend a specialized class).For full class descriptions please click here. Still trying to figure out the best class for you?

If you are new to reformer Pilates, we recommend you start with our Foundations classes. Even if you regularly exercise at the gym or do yoga, it is helpful to learn how to use the reformer machines, and set up for different exercises. If you have any questions about what class to take, you can ask your instructor or contact us at hello@industrystudio.ca.

We recommend wearing comfortable exercise clothing that allows for ease of movement such as leggings, shorts, tank tops, sports bras or t-shirts.

We do require you to wear grip socks for safety and hygiene purposes - you can bring your own pair of socks, or we have some available for purchase for $10.)

It’s always a good idea to have a reusable water bottle (We have a water refill station on site). Water is also available for purchase.

Remove your shoes and look for the iPad at the front desk. Search for your name and click “Check In”. Please note that first-timers are not able to self check-in.

We recommend you try to arrive at the studio 10-15 minutes before class. Our doors automatically lock 5 minutes after the start of each class for the safety respect of other clients at the studio. Our exercises are sequenced to safely prepare your body to move, so joining a class more than 5 minutes after the start time is not advised. If you are joining a class a few minutes late, please do so quietly in order to minimize any disruption to other students.

If you arrive more than 5 minutes late, you may be charged a late cancellation penalty for the class.  Half of the proceeds of these fees go to charity. Please refer to our cancellation policy here for further details.

Any body can do reformer Pilates. As long as you are able to safely exercise, reformer is a great way to build fitness and strength. Exercises can be progressed or modified depending on your fitness level. Our studio is inclusive and beginner-friendly, as we recommended starting with our Foundations class. Whatever your fitness goals, reformer Pilates can help get you there.  We are confident that once you try one class, you will be hooked.

Our studio is equipped with a surround system and music is played during our classes. While it is never overpowering, if you are sound sensitive, then you may prefer to bring Loop earplugs. You can expect a killer playlist and good vibes. Looking for a specific vibe? We do themed classes!

Pilates is for everyone and our studio welcomes men. Pilates was originally created by a man (Joseph Pilates) and first used to help injured men rehabilitate their injuries. It is a great exercise form for improving core strength, mobility, posture, mental state, injury prevention, and improving your performance at the gym and at sports. You do not need to be flexible to take part in classes, and we have beginner-friendly Foundations classes if you are new to Pilates. We find that most men who try Pilates end up falling in love with it, and wished they had tried sooner.

Though Pilates and yoga have similarities such as a shared propensity for breathwork and mind-body connection, they are very different disciplines. Reformer Pilates uses a machine with adjustable spring tension to exercise, while yoga is typically done on a mat. Both exercise methods have stood the test of time, and are here to stay.  If you have a regular yoga practice, reformer Pilates can be beneficial to spice things up in different ways.

Kindly remove your shoes before entering the studio.

Grip socks are mandatory for safety and hygiene. You can bring your own or we have some available for purchase.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes before class.

If the class before yours is still going on in the studio, we ask that you refrain from loud conversations.

If your injury is mild or stable and you are cleared to participate in exercise by your medical professional, modifications can be provided to accommodate you. The Foundations class may be a good option if you are getting back from an injury. Be sure to arrive 10-15 minutes early to discuss the nature of your injury BEFORE class with the instructor.  If you have a severe injury/condition, acute pain or are recovering from surgery, we recommend you consult your physician before participating in exercise.  We do offer private one-on-one sessions where the instructor can focus solely on you and your injury.

Yes, you can do Pilates while menstruating.  Everyone is different and it’s important to listen to your body and adjust your practice as needed.  If you’re feeling fatigued, experiencing cramps or low energy levels, choose the baseline exercise in a series rather than a progression. You may choose to take a restorative or foundational class depending on where in your cycle you are. Take breaks during class as needed. Remember – listen to your body and modify.

Yes, with your doctor’s clearance and the right modifications. Certain movements (like lying flat on your back, deep twists, or high-impact work) should be avoided, but Reformer Pilates can be safely adapted to support strength, posture, and mobility during pregnancy.

Yes. Reformer Pilates is excellent during peri-menopause. It helps build strength, support bone health, improve posture, and reduce stress. The combination of resistance training and mindful movement can ease common symptoms like stiffness, fatigue, and stress, while supporting long-term mobility and overall well-being.

Reformer Pilates is an excellent adjunct to strength and HIIT classes.  Some clients use reformer Pilates as their main form of exercise, and others use it to supplement their gym workouts.  Pilates can help you improve mobility/flexibility, core strength, posture, and enhance your performance at the gym. It also helps to future proof your body by addressing any side-to-side muscle or flexibility imbalances, and recruit stabilizing muscles you may be neglecting in your other workouts.

Yes. One on one sessions can be booked with several of our teachers when classes are not going on in the studio. Everyone can benefit from one-on-one sessions to get individual attention and improve your form and technique. Private sessions can be especially beneficial if you are a first timer to reformer Pilates, if you have a medical condition/recovering from an injury, or if you are pregnant/post-partum.

This depends on your lifestyle, other activities you do, and your availability. Most clients benefit from coming a minimum of 2-3 times per week to reformer Pilates. This is an individual decision and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Remember that rest and recovery are as important as strengthening so you may wish to explore a variety of class options in the week. For instance, consider doing a Restorative or Foundations class the day after a heavier strength class.

We recommend clients be 16 years of age or older to attend our classes.  To discuss an individual case, please reach out to us at hello@industrystudio.ca.

Industry Studio is formed by four founders, each who are knowledgeable, reputable and successful in their respected domains. Our mission is to continue to push the Industry Standard of Reformer Pilates and to build a strong community amongst both clients and teachers in Toronto.
