Spark Pilates

As someone who suffers from shoulder and neck pain due to work reasons, pilates is definitely a part of my life now.I’ve started my pilates journey since last July, and doing pilates improves my physical and mental health. Training with Maureen at Spark Pilates helps me build my core strength, increase flexibility, and more importantly, relieve neck and shoulder pain!Maureen is amazing, knowledgeable and professional. While teaching, she provides cues with accuracy and makes instructions easy to understand. I love how she is always energetic and makes each session fun.If you are looking to experience the versatility of pilates and/or to better understand ‘contrology’, I would recommend taking pilates sessions with one of the instructors here.

Spark Pilates is a lovely studio and it own, Dervola, is a consummate professional. She is highly knowledgably about Pilates and human anatomy, is attentive-to-detail, and maintains a high integrity organization. She has helped rehabilitate my various injuries over the years. I highly recommend Spark, Dervola and her team of professionals.

I started at Spark couple months ago with Herry. He is a nice, attentive, and supportive instructor, and he is strict about the movement to ensure I am working on the right muscles. I have improved my flexibility, lost weight, and shaped my body.

10/10 - I recently started training with Dervola and cannot even express how knowledgeable she is. I was looking to learn Pilates for overall health & fitness benefits and the way she trains and educates you throughout your session is above and beyond. I recently strained my lower back due to moving, she was able to customize our session and completely relieve my pain and discomfort in ONE session. I am excited to advance and learn more from herself or her staff. Her facility has multiple options in equipment - which makes our sessions fun and challenging. She took the time in my first session to go over the foundations, teaching the basics and slowly easing and testing my abilities. In a general, I immediately felt comfortable and could tell she loves passing on her passion through training. I personally moved to Mississauga, but did not hesitate to purchase a package - making the commute is worth it.

Dervola and Halyna are rockstars. They have helped me get stronger with every session and worked around my scolio. I feel toned, strong, and healthy and it’s all thanks to them.

Worked with Dervola at equinox Yorkville before, she is an amazing instructor. She really understands the essence of Pilates and how to integrate the philosophy into movements.I am also recently working with Maureen as well, omg, she is amazing if you are looking for a vigorous and fun session. Both instructors are highly competent at their work, professional and certified.I really enjoy working at this studio and I will never stop practicing Pilates, it is such an elegant and amazing workout to keep as a life goal.

What started as an interesting new experience in the Summer, resulted in the wonderful new world of Pilates.Over tens years, I’m doing weight training (short & tight muscles) and I finally found a way to balance my form and stretch me out.In their private classes, these two amazing knowledgeable ladies have full focus on improving my form, stretching me out and making my body health more sustainable.I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to improve their health with Pilates.

I suffer from long-term injuries and joint pain. I do physiotherapy, personal training, yoga and I have done rehab Pilate before. However, doing Pilate with Dervola is just very different. For someone who has been struggling with regaining normal functioning for the past 10 years, I always feel weak. However, I feel empowered, strong, tall and just energized after my session with Dervola. It is intense but won’t incur injury, and I always feel so light after the session. Great way to start my day.

Very nice and knowledgeable staff. I have worked with Halyana and she is very flexible and understanding regarding time and specific workouts. Halyana also gives very good tips on how to improve overall workout performance, and explains what every workout does to your body. Over the past few months of attending her sessions, I have noticed a very clear improvement on my strength, control, and flexibility.
