We hope that the MPCC will be a great fit for your routine and activities!

Same Pilates principles. A completely different pace. 🔥

Not sure which Pilates class is right for you? Here’s the difference:

⚡ TOTAL BODY SCULPT PILATES
A faster-paced, higher-intensity, full-body workout combining controlled Pilates movements, core work, and functional strengthening. Classes may include light weights, resistance bands, Pilates balls, and magic circles to keep your whole body challenged and engaged.

🌿 PILATES FUNDAMENTALS
A slower-paced, more instructional class focused on learning proper technique, improving core stability, mobility, and control, and building confidence in each movement.

Ready to turn up the intensity? Total Body Sculpt Pilates begins TOMORROW!

📅 Tuesdays, October 6 to December 22
⏰ 6 to 7 pm
📍 The Studio, 1805 Gaspé Avenue
🙌 Open to everyone ages 16+
🎟️ Full-session and drop-in registration available

All fitness levels are welcome, and modifications are provided. You do not need to live in Manor Park to join us!

🎃 It’s Pumpkinpalooza with our first After 3 PA day camp of the year! Our friends lobbed, chucked, and rolled pumpkins until they were barely recognizable. It was great! Extra points for style :) A pizza lunch swiftly followed and was devoured by our hungry bowlers. “It was the best pizza ever” says one of our campers! What a great day!
