    When I first started doing hot yoga (Bikram style yoga), I was with another studio. It was a great introduction for me but I found the people in that previous studio were not very friendly. I would go in, do my yoga, not speak to anyone, and leave. I decided I needed a studio that was closer to me and that perhaps would have a different kind of vibe. Enter Circle Studios Yoga. It was here that my yoga practice deepened and I felt very much a part of the community. I would always have people to talk to about the practice and always a friendly face greeting me as I walked into the studio and as I walked out. Extremely clean and well organized. It's a small studio but that's what makes it better. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I would be going in every day. I haven't been since the pandemic hit because I'm being cautious. Have started doing at-home workouts and yoga. It's not the same and I can't wait for some sort of normal so I can return to my incredible yoga practice at this amazing little studio.

    My husband and I were looking for something to do that was active together, and we stumbled upon the idea of "Hot Yoga", and after attending Circle Studios, I can genuinely say it has changed our lives. Coming from a background in health and fitness, I've done everything from HIIT to Weight training to TRX to kickboxing, but yoga was something I could never get into. However, joining this club and trying their classes has changed my perspective. Ever since joining, I have told ALL my friends and family around me of how life changing joining this gym has been. Not just for the physical benefits, but for overall mental and emotional well-being. I've learnt the importance of rest, and breathing, and meditation, and practising here has made a positive impact on my everyday life. Moreover, this studio feels like a GENUINE community.. the owner (Melanie) is fantastic. She's caring, thoughtful, and intentional. The instructors deliver with high quality and are very experienced. I would recommend this gym 100/100 to anyone looking to try Yoga! nothing but positive things to say about this amazing place.

    I tried the 30 day introductory offer, which is such a good deal to get a feel for the studio and instructors, and I loved it and will definitely continue the classes! My favourite is Alana's Friday night slow stretch class - perfect way to end the week.

    If you're on the hunt for a fantastic hot pilates/hot yoga studio in Hamilton, look no further! Circle Studios is a delightful facility that boasts a generous array of class times to fit your schedule. The instructors truly go the extra mile, creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like an integral part of the "circle family." Personally, I'm a huge fan of their hot pilates classes—the music is top-notch, the instructors are incredibly motivating, and the finishing touch of a cold face cloth infused with essential oils is simply divine! Additionally, the morning yoga classes, with a more spiritual connection, have become a cherished part of my routine. Having showers in the change rooms is a fantastic perk, especially if you have plans elsewhere right after class. Circle Studios has definitely won me over!

    I have been taking yoga classes at Circle Studios since 2017 and absolutely love it! Melanie has done a tremendous job at creating a very warm and welcoming environment and assembling a team of outstanding instructors. The classes are varied, which keep things interesting, and the schedule is always adjusted to meet the needs and availability of yoga practitioners. I'm not sure what I would do without them!

    This studio is fantastic! I had been here a few times prior to the pandemic and really loved the atmosphere, the community and the inclusivity (especially as a beginner!) I have recently been participating in the 4 week intensive hot pilates class with Jackie which has been great! Having never done something like this before, Jackie is extremely motivational and encouraging to push harder and challenge yourself. I've really enjoyed this program, and the other classes I've done at the studio (Hot Yoga 26+2 w/Mel), looking forward to trying more that they offer!

    I have always felt uncomfortable in gyms and yoga studios but since the first time I entered circle studios I felt at home. All the staff and clients are welcoming and friendly. This place truly feels like a community. There are always an interesting variety of classes and workshops. The owner Mel is a delight and always helpful. Highly recommend!

    This studio has top notch facilities and staff! I'm always very impressed with how friendly and attentive all the teachers are how professional and accommodating the owner (Mel) is! The 2 rooms (hot and non heated) give so much flexibility for new yogis and more experienced! The change rooms are always clean and are well sanitized between classes. I recently participated in the 4 week Hot HIIT intensive with Jackie which was so much fun! She drove a sense of community with snacks and prizes at the end of the series which was really thoughtful.

    Brilliant studio with lovely instructors. The space is beautiful and everyone is friendly and welcoming. They offer a unique blend of classes and the studio is small enough that you get 1:1 support in classes. I super appreciate this place and will be coming back after my intro offer!

    This place is great! They have a wonderful variety of classes — Pilates, yoga of different types, warm classes, hot classes, classes at normal room temperature. I also love that they have mental wellness services under the same roof. All of the instructors are professional and personable. The space is beautiful and very welcoming. Try them out!

    Awesome studio! Bought the intro pass and mostly did Pilates classes, they are exactly what I’m looking for. They’re a great workout that I can do a few times a week to tone and get strong!

    Circle studios is amazing. I was hesitant at first because I have tried hot yoga and wasn’t a big fan but I came to this studio primarily for the hot Pilates and wow have I been blown away. Even though it seems hard as you are doing it, it’s very motivating and you always want to come back. The instructors push you but are very encouraging and everyone is so welcoming. Jackie is amazing and remembers every students name even if it’s your first time. You definitely have to try this studio because you will fall in love with it.

    Excellent space and place to experience fairly involved yoga sessions not the least because of the heaters present. Great variety of instructors and great management by Melanie Lourenco. Of course it also offers a great venue for other holistic health modalities like art therapy and counseling.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed the Breathe, Rest, and Restore classes. They are a great wind down (and wind up) at the end of the day or end of the week. The three instructors I have had the chance to be with (Tara, Alicia, and Alana) have all been so great. Each one puts a different spin on the class and so it keeps it fresh. Can't wait to try more of the classes.

    I signed up for a 30 day trial and really enjoyed every class I took! The instructors are all lovely and their schedule is great with a variety weeknight classes and weekend classes available. I’ll definitely continue taking classes here :)

    Signed up for the introductory offer and fell in love with the inferno Pilates and warm slow burn hot Pilates. These classes are great for low impact and a good sweat! Can’t wait to continue to improve in both of these classes!

    This space is just wonderful, the warm vinyasa classes are my favourite. Booking is simple and all the teachers have been so kind and warm. The lights are off for most of the classes I’ve taken, which makes it so calming. Can’t wait to take more classes this year, highly recommend this studio!

    Been coming to Circle Studios for over a year now and it's honestly my happy place in Hamilton💟 Love the variety - hot yoga, Pilates, and the unique Aerial Yoga classes. The instructors here are super friendly and really know their stuff. It's not just about fitness; they've got great wellness services too. The vibe is so welcoming and community-oriented. Every class feels like a mini-retreat. Can't recommend it enough to anyone looking to boost their physical and mental health in a chill, supportive environment🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

    I’ve been attending Circle Studios since September 2019. I started on the unlimited introductory offer and took the opportunity to try many of the classes on offer at the studio. My favourite classes include: Inferno Hot Pilates with Jackie, which is an intense workout but, somehow, Jackie always makes it superfun at the same time; Warm Yin with Mel, which is the best class for a relaxing stretch that leaves you feeling amazing afterward; and Warm Pilates & Yin Mix with Jen, which is the perfect combination of the hard work of Pilates and the relaxing, deep stretches of Yin Yoga. All the teachers are very encouraging and motivating during classes, and they plan/lead classes that are enjoyable yet challenging and make you want to come back again and again. The studio is always immaculate as well and is an overall pleasant space to practice in. I use the MindBody app to purchase packages and book classes, which is convenient and easy to use. 10/10 studio and teachers!

    With new 'exercise environments' I tend to be fairly anxious. But I've been to 10 classes in the past month. The warm yoga really calms me, and it gives instant anxiety relief. The team at Circle are really kind and approachable.

    Excellent studio. Good variety of classes and times available, and very welcoming instructors. Parking is not easy to find, better to walk if you can

  • 5/5 Jel 1 year ago on Google
    I purchased the introductory class pass which allows for unlimited yoga for a flat fee for 30 days. This introductory pass is a great idea as I learned there are so many different types of yoga and each instructor is unique in their way of practice. The studio is very clean, inviting, they have mats for rent for a low cost if you need one, and the schedule was descriptive so I knew what to expect. The various classes definitely allow for a variety of practices you are looking for from contemporary Pilates, to breathwork, restorative, yin, the list is robust at this studio. As a newbie, whos never done yoga before, some of the instructors went a bit fast and I couldn't keep up, however it's repetitive so you catch on. They do explain each movement though. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and I appreciate their soothing voices during classes. I realized quickly that I am not flexible at all, but the instructors advise it will come with time. I would definitely recommend this studio. There is only street parking and a paid municipal lot across the street so if you are driving give yourself enough time to find parking as there is no designated lot for the studio.

    Very professional yoga Stadio. Atmosphere is great, calm , positive and energetic. I love warm Yin Yang class and kundalini yoga class there. If you would like to concentrate on yoga development, this is a good one for consideration.

  • 5/5 Jessica O. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a very lovely experience at Circle Studios. I had the pleasure of taking a few classes with Chris over the last month and had a great time. The first time I attended a class I did not eat or hydrate enough and that almost didn't end well. Thankfully, after the class the owner of the studio, Melanie was incredibly encouraging and gave me some tips that helped me the next time I came to the studio. The instructors and team were incredibly hospitable and I would strongly encouraging anyone looking for a studio to visit!

    Circle Studios yoga studio is amazing. The ambience is lovely. I was warmly welcomed by staff and other yogis as soon as I walked in the door. They offer a variety of classes and workshops. I purchased a 30 day pass to try it out and am going to continue with their very reasonably priced 10-class pass.

  • 5/5 Leanne S. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently discovered this studio in my adjacent neighbourhood. Clean, tidy, fresh, and welcoming public space, washrooms/change rooms, and practice space. After driving out of my area in past for yoga, I’m so thankful to find this gem of a studio within walking distance. Happy to join the community!

  • 5/5 Katie P. 11 months ago on Google
    I’ve loved all the classes I’ve attended the past month at Circle Studios (and I’ve tried a lot of them!). Lots of variety, all challenging in their own way, but I leave feeling better every time. Highly recommended!

    I love coming to Circle Studios! I decided to purchase the 30 Day Introductory Offer and tried many classes including Pilates, Hot Yoga, Warm Vinyasa Flow and Warm Gentle Hatha Yoga. It was my first time practicing yoga at a studio and every instructor was so kind, encouraging and helpful. The place was also very clean and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone.

    Absolutely love Circle Studios! The diversity in class selection from all levels of Yoga to Pilates is top notch. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone starting out. You will not want to quit after your first class! Friday night restorative is my favourite with Alaina 😊

    I initially bought an introductory pass to Circle Studios and loved my experience so much that I am compelled to buy a 10 class pass. I love it here. The vibe is top notch, and the smell of Palo Santos after class is so soothing. Most importantly, all the teachers have been so welcoming, supportive, and their constructive feedback is very appreciated.

    I can’t say enough good things about Circle Studios. The studio offers a very relaxed atmosphere, is spotless, and cozy. The front desk staff are lovely, and all of the instructors are absolutely wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. I also really like the variety of classes and levels - the perfect mix of challenging and restorative. I am so thankful hot yoga is available in a studio like this in Hamilton. Circle Studios is AWESOME! THANK YOU for helping me heal and grow!
