Oxygen Yoga & Fitness brings a unique experience to Hamilton

Barely two months into 2024, many are holding themselves accountable to the self-care resolutions they made as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve.
With a variety of options for fitness studios and classes in the Hamilton area, the recently opened Oxygen Yoga & Fitness promises something a little different.
Located at 1374 South Service Road in Stoney Creek, the yoga studio offers 16 different class styles led by certified instructors for all levels of experience including hot yoga, toning & sculpting sessions, pilates, fusion classes that blend multiple workout styles, and beyond.
But what really makes Oxygen unique is that its modern facilities use FAR Infrared heating during classes: a technology which directly heats the body rather than the air around it and is said to carry numerous health benefits including improved circulation & blood vessel function, stress relief, reducing inflammation, skincare benefits, and cellular health.
Oxygen originally launched in 2011 in Canada’s west coast, and has since grown to over 100 studios across the country, with some popping up in the United States.
This is the first in Hamilton; and according to Evangelina MacPhee, who co-owns the location with her husband, the road to opening it was not quite smooth.
“In the summer of 2019, my husband and I signed our franchise agreement. That fall, we began scouting for the perfect location for the studio within the Hamilton area,” she says.
“Months went by without a signed lease. Then the pandemic hit.”
Nevertheless, they persevered, and Oxygen finally opened in Stoney Creek in November 2023, readily finding itself a hit among locals looking for a unique fitness experience.
“Within less than 3 months of our opening, I’ve witnessed our members getting stronger, telling us how much this studio has helped them in more ways than one: physically, mentally, spiritually.”
For those intrigued by the offerings at Oxygen, the studio has an attractive trial rate. For 14 consecutive days, newcomers can try out Oxygen’s classes for $14 plus tax, or a little more than $1 per day.
Finding a fitting fitness studio isn’t always easy. But with Oxygen’s variety of classes hosted in a motivating communal setting, it’s not hard to see them becoming a prime pick in Hamilton.
