    Move East is a very welcome addition to Halifax! It caters to everyone — you’ll find a mix of yoga, barre-inspired classes, low-impact, and high-intensity. You can diversify your weekly workouts and never feel bored. As someone with lots of yoga and pilates experience, I was nervous to try the strength-training classes in “The Field”. But the Move East team and community were so welcoming! Each instructor is knowledgable, approachable, and engaging. Get ready to be challenged but leave feeling better every single time!

    Great fitness boutique, good options for aerobic and strength workouts, the best feature being their hot room (called the "Cabin"). They provide equipment for you so it's super beginner friendly, I'd recommend starting with the FLOW-MO yoga course then up your game to the A+B workout. Only downfall is extremely limited changing and showering space (there are only 2 single washrooms for mixed gender use).

    Been working out here almost few months. Great place to workout. Instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, guide us throughout the session. I recommend to give it a try.

    Move East is the best fitness studio that I have visited. I love that they offer a variety of classes under one membership. Their Cabin classes are my favourite because the the heat feels amazing and the music based moves make class fly by. Staff and members are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

    If you're looking for a community feel to your workouts you have to try Move East. You feel part of the team as soon as you walk in the door - even if you don't know anyone else in the room. It is so welcoming and the variety of classes are great. I have yet to try a class I didn't love. All of the trainers are A+ and give great feedback along the way. No matter your fitness level or experience, there is a class and spot for you.

    Modern facility, fabulous and knowledgeable Instructors, phenomenal community! Move East offers such an array of classes to suit everyone's desires and goals. The instructors take the time to explain the workouts and offer advice on form and accommodations. Hannah is a wonderful woman and business owner, wearing her heart on her sleeve and striving everyday to make her gym accessible, inspiring and respectful. Happy to have this space in our community!

    I’ve had memberships to other class style gyms in the city but can honestly say nothing compares to move east. I’ve felt comfortable and part of a community ever since I joined! The instructors take the time to get to know you and genuinely care about making everyone feel welcome. The workouts themselves are challenging (in a good way!) Move East is really the full package and I am happy to be a part of it!

    All of the instructors are welcoming, and provide a safe space to work out regardless of your fitness level. I can't recommend this gym enough, it has become my "third-space," during a time where a lot of our third spaces were taken away from us. The community, and people at move east have made me feel very welcomed and I hope you consider joining or trying a class.

    I didn't exactly know how I would feel about joining Move East full-time and cancelling my other gym memberships. Once I attended my first class and got a taste of what the community, atmosphere and family was like - I didn't leave myself any other choice. I rarely miss a morning class and I can honestly say that it feels like a little family with the best instructors in the city helping me achieve my sweat goals and to get stronger. I love everything Move East has to offer and have been recommending it to anyone who will listen!

  • 5/5 Emma L. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried Move East with a 1-week intro pass and instantly fell in love with the classes and community. Wanting to weigh my options in the city before investing in a membership, I tried out other class-based gyms. While I enjoyed aspects of those other gyms, I found myself missing Move East the whole time. The classes, staff, space, and vibes are tough to beat. It was an easy decision coming back to sign up full-time and now I can’t imagine my week without it! Love this place and the people who fill it :)

    The first time I walked into Move East, the owner (Hannah) went out of her way to give me a full tour of the studio. I think this says a lot about the values and goals of Move East! I personally love the A-list and B-list classes and have never been to one where we did the same exercises, they are continually changing it up. I look forward to every time I am able to step into The Cabin! Overall, Move East offers great prices, an uplifting and inclusive atmosphere, and a workout that continually pushes you to overcome challenges and push your limits.

    This is my favourite place to workout in all of Halifax. Check out their Powerhouse class! All the instructors are super knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I enjoy the variety of classes offered - there’s something for everyone. MoveEast offers a super welcoming environment whether you’re a new client or an unlimited member. I highly recommend checking this place out 🏋🏼

😠 I've been going to gyms my whole life in various cities, and Dalplex is the worst gym I've ever been a member of. The renovations were completed for aesthetics and not functionality.
