    After moving to Illinois from California, I was extremely excited to have found a pole fitness…read morestudio in my area so that I can continue my journey. However, after taking 5 classes (3 of them which I had "injured" myself in which has almost never happened for the 1.5 years I've been training), I was extremely disappointed instead. Each class I had left feeling like there was no progress and in fact, I felt like I was back pedaling everything that I have trained and learned over the last year. I actually started to dread the weekly class membership I signed up for but since it was already paid and scheduled, I continued to go. The pole instructor Kyli was not very instructive in my opinion. She would demonstrate a move on the pole, stand back, sometimes even continuously checking the time on her phone, giving the impression that she was uninterested in really being there, awhile me and other students kind of just struggled to repeat what she had just demonstrated. When I would ask for further assistance...it was just demonstrated again. There is no coach to student engagement, no individual constructive criticism, or correct form. There wasn't even words of encouragement or affirmation when somebody would ace a move. After a few classes, I actually started clapping and giving affirmation myself to the other students of the class since nobody else, including the "coach, was doing it. However, when it was about talking about herself, it seemed like Kyli would be completely present. Which that alone was confusing. She would demonstrate part 1 of a move, tell a story for 5 mins about herself or how it relates, then continue on with showing part 2 of the move. Leaving me confused and distracted. In fact, often times I felt like I could have had more progress by simply pulling up a YouTube tutorial. I mean...nobody is receiving any feedback and we're just watching demonstrations so what exactly am I showing up for? Mind you, this class is only 60 mins long. It would be great if 15-20 mins of that class wasn't being spent on talking on things that aren't really going to interfere with what the students are here for. Even when looking at the social media pages and I'm seeing students being showcased, I'm seeing the moves in completely bad form...which if this was being corrected and there was actually engagement and wanting to see the students progress and perform at their best, it would showcase exactly just that. My "injuries" that have happened can absolutely be "my fault", however if there was more of a relationship and criticism being built, the chances of me executing a move correctly and safely...could of been higher. Hell, when I did have to repeatedly ask for correction of form (which was mostly always met with visible annoyance), look and behold, I would Ace it! No enthusiasm given with it though of course. To the owner and the instructors who are reading this feedback Please, start coaching. Not demonstrating and standing back, but COACHING. I understand a lot of us students are there for an outlet and to build community but it would be great if progress was being built as well.

    I love love love Body! Tara is awesome to work with - friendly, professional and very good at what…read moreshe does! I've taken classes at Body, but primarily went with personal training. Tara was great at adapting the workouts to my fitness level and injuries, especially some unique challenges that arose postpartum. I felt like she kept it challenging and new, but also didn't push too far resulting in injuries (like I had happen at traditional gyms). I'm moving out of state, otherwise I would be keeping up my regular 1-2x/week visits for health, sanity and lots of laughs! Also check out her unique couple classes, when offered. Husband and I really enjoyed couples yoga around Valentine's day!
