North Movement Studio

Anna and her team are the best! The classes are fun and challenging and always make me laugh. The studio is always clean and bright and the perfect size. Started the classes in the Muskoka studio this past summer and followed Anna back to Leaside. One of my favourite studios in the city and up at the cottage. Love these guys!

Just got home from my best Pilates class w/ Anna! We did some Pike moves and I felt secure and wildly strong- and I recalled first doing these and how difficult they once were. It was an exhilarating sensation. To become aware of your strength is an awesome & powerful feeling. All thanks to Anna and Vanessa! If you are at all curious, you got this, especially w/ such expertise guidance!

We love North Movement - Anna is really energetic, delivers a great workout, and was able about to work around my various ailments/injuries. She was able to reduce my pain substantially - it is clear that she genuinely cares for her clients. And to top it off, her studio is bright, clean, and welcoming - I always look forward to her workouts!

North is a boutique Pilates studio in Leaside. The bright and airy studio is a welcoming place for students new and advanced. As a non-athletic person, Pilates can seem daunting, but the classes are really fun, quite challenging and customized to individuals skill level. It's the best place to do Pilates in Leaside and BlogTO agrees. P.S. I'm a big fan of the retail section. There's everything from healthy teas to stylish hair ties to home Pilates equipment. I picked up some grippy Pointe Socks, and I love them for class.

Before I started Pilates classes at North Movement, I was struggling with low back pain and was having frequent massages to help with tight muscles so that I could get through my work day sitting at a desk. I have only been attending mat classes for just over a month and my low back pain is gone. I went for a massage recently and my therapist commented that she could feel a real difference in my muscles and to continue whatever it was that I was doing. I let her know that I’d been taking Pilates 2 to 3 times per week and loved it. I signed up for the first free class at the prompting of a friend and I’m hooked! Thanks North Movement!

The best thing about NORTH Movement Studio is Anna Harris. She is a skilled Pilates teacher who is dynamic, knowledgeable, caring and a ton of fun to be around. Anna makes everyone feel important and valued. She allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginner to advanced and will adapt to her clients specific goals and/or limitations. It's been almost a year since she opened her dream studio - a combination of high tech equipment, calming environment and a fantastic team. She has changed the way I feel about myself and how I approach fitness and health. Anna thank you for inspiring me every week!

The studio is BEAUTIFUL - clean and fresh. Anna is a fantastic instructor - her classes are a true pleasure to attend - always dynamic, fun and they fly by. I often find it difficult to do any sort of exercise after a long workday, however I always ALWAYS look forward to attending Anna's classes as I feel like they negate all the harmful effects an office job does to my body. So happy I found this gem in the heart of Leaside!!!

I've been going to North since it opened (and have loved doing both mat and equipment Pilates for years with Anna). The whole team is great, friendly and you're in good hands - everyone is there to get strong! If you've never tried pilates, this is a great place to start!
