In-person

Boomerang Pilates is a staple in the heart of Roncesvalles, Toronto.

Since we opened in 2011, we’ve expanded our teaching team to include some of the best instructors in both Pilates and Restorative Exercise. You can explore movement in ways that build you from the inside out and address your need for healthy movement AND your craving for a workout!

During COVID-19 we’re offering online classes and private sessions along with in-person private sessions. Get in touch for more info!

“Top notch teachers with a wide variety of offerings. Small class size in a bright studio. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

Alison has helped shape my teaching in many ways, ranging from helping me understand technical issues to supporting my confidence when I was struggling. She’s creative, resourceful, thorough and always focused on exploring for ways to help me help my own body and my students, and she’s the person I call to this day when there’s something I can’t figure out.”
