    I do not typically write negative reviews, however I am beyond disappointed with Upside Motion. My class was cancelled on the day itself, 2 hours before, and it was the last day of my ClassPass’s cycle. I am thus unable to book another class to fit into my schedule, which meant that I have lost a class for reasons beyond my control. There is no form of compensation or refund. It is a bummer as I was initially looking forward to try Aerial yoga for the first time and had cancelled plans to make time for it.

    I posted an honest review on their Instagram, instead of solving the issue, they blocked me. What a joke. Misell class package, promises made by their own studio manager was not fulfilled. Initially offered me an exception but few days later management changed their mind, did not want to honour it. Glad that they're gone for good

    Quaint location, clean and comfortable ambience, the studio has a very fragrant & refreshing smell, hygiene level is great as class participants are required to spray & clean their mats after each use. I enjoy each & every class experience! However, I think more Xtend Barre classes should be offered especially for weekday evenings and weekend afternoons. Nevertheless, I look forward to my next class once again!

    Clean and peaceful studio. Enjoyed my pilates mat and reformer classes here. Very attentive, encouraging and highly skilled instructors who help me achieve better form and inspire me to push myself harder for the workout. Will definitely try out their aerial, barre and yoga classes too.

    Sweetly tucked in the hidden corner, the studio is relatively smaller than Shenton's (or at least that's what I feel), but it is smartly designed. Tried the "Evolve" room for Yvonne's Xtend Barre class. It was indeed an outstanding experience for a good sweat.

    1. Poor customer service, didn't try to solve the problem for customer. 2. Unreasonable and expensive cancellation policy.

    Have been an proud Upsider for 9 months, enjoyed every barre/pilates mat & reformer/ aerial class at all three studios - City Hall, Shenton and Orchard. Favourite is the City Hall studio, which is just minutes walk from City Hall MRT. Always look forward to a challenging pilates reformer or barre class in quietness to start my Saturday.

    I’ve been coming to Upside since last August and Xtend Barre had quickly become part of my weekly exercise routine. I attend Jabi’s and Jingjing’s classes regularly and both instructors deliver holistic, challenging and consistent workouts every session without fail. The receptionists are warm and friendly and the studios are clean and they smell rly good (esp the City Hall branch).

    Favourite 'upside' hangout - aerial yoga and pilates! Small classes and friendly instructors are attractions!

    About 5-10mins walk from the City Hall station. Experience instructors for barre, acroyoga, pilates and reformer classes.

    I've been with Upside Motion for about 5 years already and I love the Xtend Barre workout, which works and tones the entire body in a short span of an hour. The studios are also conveniently located in central areas with a variety of off-peak and peak hour workout class time slots. Staff and instructors are very friendly and approachable.

    It was somewhat difficult to locate, especially now that entry points to the building lobby are limited (due to COVID-19) to the more obscure one (from the main road). The studio itself is not as spacious as one of their former locations in OUE Downtown Gallery, but the layout had been cleverly designed to provide a sense of openness and space. The reformers and other peripheral "equipment" were clean and well maintained, and the instructor I had encountered was very scrupulous about cleaning after usage - so that was very reassuring. The class (Reformer - Beginners) was very structured and clearly guided so that absolute beginners would be able to follow along for a good workout without any struggle. Throughout the session, the instructor kept a keen eye out for each single person - possible because of the optimal class ratio (1:6) - to ensure proper form and/or lend a helping hand if struggling with a specific move. All in all, a lovely studio with warm staff/instructors to take clients on a guided fitness journey!

    Pros: Beautiful location. Studio is clean and smells amazing. Went for a beginners pilates class. The instructor was excellent , experienced, articulate and knew her stuff! Cons: Felt the class size was too small. Only 4-5 reformer machines. Class could’ve been longer. The lockers were difficult to use, it was not a standard digital lock where you can just enter a code and lock your stuff. Old system. Required assistance from the front desk several times as my locker got stuck and couldn’t reset on its own. No shower area in this studio. Doubt I’ll be coming back here, as I feel shower areas are necessary after working out as one tends to get sweaty.

    My journey with Pilates at Upside Motion started back in Oct 2021. It has been such a rewarding experience. A lot of body awareness and correction, making me stronger and complemented to my weight training. The studio is very quaint and intimate, big kudos to my instructor Lynda where I do both group and solo classes with. She has transformed both my body and strength and I look forward to every lesson! Highly recommend this studio.

    Great studio offering pilates, yoga, aerial and Xtend Barre classes with instructors who are positive and patient. The facilities are airy, clean and staff are helpful. You'll need to bring your own towel though and only the Shenton studio has shower facilities ($2 shower rental fee applies).

    Jabi the Instructor is very professional and her workouts always hits the spot! 10/10 would recommend

  • 5/5 Hui Yi Reggie C. 5 years ago on Google
    Quiet and cosy studio with ample changing rooms and lockers. The small "Sculpt" room is great for small classes while the "Evolve" room is spacious ans brightly-lit.

    Clean And cozy studio. The instructor is professional and helpful in guiding your postures.

    Visited the place once - no wonder why the other branches closed down.

  • 5/5 YuKi W. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been an Upsider for almost 2 years. After attending 12 months of Xtend Barre and Pilates at Upside, I tried out Pilates Reformer and totally fell in love it. That's the beauty of Upside.... it offers variety of classes to suit evey individual needs and body physique. Upside instructors are a dedicated bunch and will definitely give one a good work out. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

    Started my first Pilates Reformer class last Dec and have since been through 10 classes. Studio is very clean and tidy, Instructors are very professional and motivating! Classes are easy to book via the app~ plus one can earn loyalty points with every class which helps to motivate me to keep practicing pilates~!

    Very poor service attitude by the concerige when I asked for directions to the studio. This was my first visit to the Armenian studio, the delay meant that I was denied entry to my class. The replacement alternative offered after insisting for appropriate actions by the company wasn't sincere in getting me admitted into the class I signed up for. Didnt manage to enter the class thus I reserve my comments on the quality of the instructors. The experience will only mean dropping Upside Motion out of my list of venue for workouts. Unpleasant start to the weekend which could have easily been a fruitful workout. Such a bummer.

    I joined Upside Motion around 6 months ago, following an inconsistent yoga journey, but also aware that i needed to add a mobility type class to my current fitness routine. The service, facilities and classes have been superb and thoroughly enjoying my classes. Attend fundamental and dynamic flow with Yuki, Vingmei, Cheryl and Mariya and their guidance, knowledge and instruction are first class.
