I've had two classes of the 4 intro to pole series. I LOVE IT!!! I knew it would be different and a workout but I'm in love and so excited to come back. The studio is so cool. Mood lighting, great stereo, you name it. My instructor is Kelly, she is amazing, especially for those with no experience. I also love how they have you sign a form to promise to love yourself and others and not to bring the negative energy in! Due to the snow/blizzard a class was cancelled and they immediately reached out to schedule us with a new class. Also, the instructor Kelly hand wrote a card about thanking us for joining and beginning this journey. I am super excited to continue. From the moment you walk in, you sanitize, remove your shoes and check in. On the first class we were 15 minutes early and they asked us to wait in the car because they want to limit people at the door, which is nice. Masks are required. Also, they sell out quick when it comes to registering! Another good sign to me. I've learned a lot in two classes and I'm so excited. This place is amazing. I want to schedule a birthday/party here too, they look so fun!!! This business is the stuff !!! read more

Hosted my best friends bachlorette party here and had a blast! We did the BOMBSHELL PARTY package. We were able to bring snacks and drinks and the representative set it all up for us. We all signed the waiver basically stating we won't sue if we're injured. The representative had us do a champagne toast for the bride-to-be before we began the class. Afterwards, the class began. We learned a sexy lap dance routine then a pole dance routine. It was extremely fun. Then they had the guest of honor do a special routine while we throw money at her. Now that was exciting!!!! The guest of honor also got a gift bag and we all got a free class card that must be used in 30 days. The party was definitively worth it! I would definitely love to do this again. read more

I LOVE IT HERE!!! This studio has not only taught me the basics of pole dance it has given me so much confidence. My favorite instructor is Simon in the intro to pole class. The vibe is good, the class is fun and she makes sure you learn! I'm slowing moving on to more advance classes and I appreciate everyone at Bombshell for supporting my pole journey read more

What a fun way to workout! This was a great experience accompanied by a wonderful dance instructor. She was highly patient and she really set the tone for a stress free body-mind connection. She also thoroughly walked us through some safety precautions to avoid injury while affirming everyone in the process. The class was a good value and suitable for beginner, intermediate and even advanced pole dancers. read more

Wow!! I had the most fun I've had in years. From start to finish everything was top notch. Even through the pandemic and all the restrictions in place, bombshell studio was so pleasant and welcoming. The entire place was clean and sanitized. It felt like home but wayyy better. Our party instructor Ms. Kelly was amazing!! She was so fun and made us all feel so comfortable without feeling judged. I felt empowered and glorified when I left. Thank you.. I even purchased a 3 class pass.. I Can't wait to go back!! read more

All I can say is keep any proof of purchase you can. If they send it to you. Please check that they send you proof of payment right away! I've been to several classes, been a guest at a few parties and even hosted a $400.00 party there. I purchased a promotional deal after a party which included 6 classes for $20.00. I shortly realize the classes were not applied to my account. I addressed my concern with the owner. She immediately asked me about a receipt which was sent via email. I went through my emails with a fine tooth comb and no receipt. I supplied the owner with the original Bombshell copy of purchase (pictured below) given to me at the time of purchase. The owner stated this was not enough. I then supplied a bank statement showing the amount deducted, date and business (Bombshell) whom the amount went to. This too was not sufficient. The owner was willing to give me credit towards a party but not the classes purchased. I realized that the business did not send a receipt for any purchase I've made with them and unwilling to admit to the mistake. In my opinion, the owner runs her business like she's jaded and expects every customer to take from her. Find another studio and a better business etiquette. read more

If you are invited to a pole party as a NON paying guest - go for fun and giggles, and an intro tease to see if you would be remotely interested in pole. If you are seriously interested - find another studio. I've had a pole party here myself and been a guest at 2 or 3 others. It is waaay over priced for what you get. You get about 45 minutes of instructed moves (non of your choice) and about 5 minutes of play time at the end. The "champagne toast" is a sip of wine in a teeny cup. The gifts are cheap plastic cups you'll never use again - all for $29-39 dollars per person. I have also done the "progressive classes" for several months. They don't teach you much. The class time is waaay too short. They are 50 minute classes once a week for 4 weeks. 15 to 20 minutes of the class is warm up. Conditioning is another 10 to 15 minutes. By the time you get to learn a move or two- the class is about over. There is no practice time after class or before class. And there is no practice time allowed in the schedule to practice the little you learn. Personally, I think that's the point - to keep you paying and paying, and purposely slowing any progression. I left and joined another pole studio and I've learned and progressed more in 6 weeks than the whole time I was at this studio. The instructors are nice, but their hands are tied. The owner is very hands on, but resistant to customer requests, and seems to be more concerned with her bottom line than anything else. read more

Great experience! An awesome place to be yourself, to be sexy, and to be amongst friends. I Love this studio. It is all about having fun while learning new things. This is definitely not your average gym, this is not your average workout, but we are not your average woman. read more

I had a blast! I never knew that I would feel so sexy. The studio is cute and cozy and the routine we learned was sexy and challenging. I workout on a regular basis and couldn't believe how sore I was the next day. I can't wait for the next session to start so that I can get my Bombshell fix again!!! read more

The place is sufficient for anyone who has never touched a pole. However, the skill level does not go beyond rudimentary pole skills and the owner is resistant to anyone trying to do anything more than the few tricks and spins they introduce. If you are looking to improve beyond a beginner level, then I would suggest other studios. There are plenty of Chicago studios that have instructors who perform and compete and want to see you soar. At Bombshell, students are discouraged to try new things under the guise of safety and strong foundation. In fact, when trying other moves beyond what was introduced in class, we were told we would be kicked out! In actuality, I just don't think they are able to handle advancing students. Other studios encourage students to suggest what they want to learn, not shut them down for it. First timers and parties are Bombshell's specialty. What kind of representation does this studio have in the pole community or even on social media? Even when celebrity pole instructors come to town, they only let their instructors have classes with them. Other studios allow their students to sign up with professional instructors. If you are okay with dictator type basic skill and drill, then this will work for you. If you feel uncomfortable with your body, then this studio will help build your confidence in that area. I give them two stars for that. But in order to get the other three stars, there needs to be advanced and professional level instructors, a variety of classes, relationship with the national and international pole community and the preparation of students to perform, compete and go beyond a beginner who wants to feel sexy. Although the owner implies the only goal I mentioned in my review is competition readiness, that is inaccurate. I think students should be encouraged to improve (for whatever purpose) beyond basic pole skills rather than told they would be kicked out for it. Advanced level is all relative. What is considered advance here is level 1 or 2 at most. read more

Nothing has ever been so frustrating in my life than trying to schedule a class that I purchased through groupon. No one answered the phone and when they do they are rude. You have to do everything online with the tiny eat print and the intro class is only offered 4 times a year?!?!? I haven't even been there yet I don't know if I ever will buy already I would say AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

Yesterday was my third time at this studio. Each time I was there with a large group in celebration of a birthday. This establishment is a hidden gem located in the south Beverly area. It's a clean, strait forward place with everything needed to bring fantasies to life. Kelly was the instructor two of the three times I visited the studio and she is by far the best. Kelly is super professional, patient and knowledgeable. She is very laid back and down to earth. She really knows how to get the ladies pumped up and fantasy ready. I would definitely recommend this place to those looking to simply host a girls night or looking to celebrate a major event. read more

I'm sore, but it was worth it. I love the professionalism from the owner and the staff. My girls and I had a blast! If you're looking for a something to do for a girls night, this is the place! read more

The class was fun and exciting! The instructor was helpful and patient! I would definitely go back!

I absolutely loved my experience with Bombshell Movement Studio. I set up a pole dancing birthday party. I did the diva party package. The staff was very clear and transparent about their policies making the planning process easy. I was really impressed with their professionalism. The party started off with a champagne toast and afterwards we learned several pole dancing moves. We then put the moves together into a routine. It ended with impromptu routine done by the host (me) while my friends showered me with fake money. The instructor was friendly and full of energy putting my nerves at ease. So much fun. They made sure my birthday was a true celebration. After the party, they sent a thank you card. If I lived closer, I would absolutely take their pole dancing classes on a regular basis. read more

Amazing experience!! The instructor was full of energy and absolutely a blast! She made she everyone was comfortable while also pushing ya to have some fun and let loose. Had a great bachelorette party there and can't wait to return!!! read more

I saw the other reviews that spoke to an unprofessional environment & I can not say that that was my experience. I can however attest to a fun sexy time. Kelly our instructor for the twerk/ pole/ lap dance 2 hour birthday class was amazing. The atmosphere was nonjudgmental with my stiff moves. Kelly kept us on task moving through the routines & keeping the energy up. The champagne toast that was included as well as our twerk water bottles were really nice touches. I removed a star b/c some of the routines were explained more at an intermediate pace than what I personally cared for. Trying to keep the pace I at times felt completely out of sync. Also I understand the intermissions but it would be more professional if someone created a playlist instead of the music switching to potentially the wrong track for the moment. I definitely signed up for the class promotion that was offered & I can't wait to attend. Hopefully someone can help me loosen up read more

I went there for a bachelorette party this last weekend. We did the Diva party package. The instructor taught us a pull dancing routine to dance to that was pretty easy to pick up. The instructor was very helpful and funny. She made us feel very comfortable and confident. The bride had an amazing time and was given the opportunity to put on a show for our party. Overall we had a great time and got a pretty good work out! read more

Awesome experience!!!! Had my daughter's surprise birthday party at Bombshell and was not disappointed. They were very helpful and accommodating. Our instructor was phenomenal and she made sure my daughter was the center of attention. GREAT location....GREAT price....GREAT staff....GREAT experience!!!! Please check them out!!! read more

I've had nothing, but great experiences at Bombshell. It's a woman's playground and I encourage everyone to give it a try. The atmosphere is extremely inviting. If you're looking for a new hobby, an escape from life, or trying to find something to claim as your own; Bombshell is definitely the place where you will find it. read more

I celebrated my birthday here and was soooooo glad I did. Oh My God!!!! Talk about fun. None of my friends ever did pole and everyone had a complete BLAST!!!! The instructor Rica was a hoot. Her personality makes everyone comfortable and she's just a bundle of +energy. All my friends are still talking about how we laughed while having such an amazing fun experience. read more

This is a safe place for women to be themselves while having clean, and safe fun. I attended an adult party held here on November 8th, and all 10 women at the party had a the most outrageous fun. We learned dance moves that we can use with our mates to keep the relationship fresh and sexy. The staff is welcoming, professional, and made us feel comfortable in a clean and inviting setting. If you are looking for different ideas for an adult all girl party, or a unique way to stay in shape this is the place. I'm going again for my own party, and highly recommend that you do too. read more

I attended a pole dance class for my birthday party years ago, I recently went to a non pole dance class with my friend. Staff was friendly and professional. Had a great time at the class! Fun way to work out without having to use the treadmill or elliptical. read more

I booked this place for a pole dance and chair class, from the beginning when I booked the class on the phone Jenny was super nice and accomidating with my needs. I had questions prior to the day of our event and the customer service team was superb and informative with answering all of my questions. The day of our event Jenny was also our instructor she was so nice, polite and funny. She did a wonderful job instructing us on both the pole and chair I felt like a superstar once we were done. Jenny did a good job teaching the dance moves and was able to accomidate the group's choice of music....this place was awesome. read more

I scheduled a private party for my best friends bachelorette here! It was perfect!! Rica was super friendly and easy to work with. We didn't have to tell her if we were struggling with a move or needed a small break, she could just tell based off of our expressions and body language. We had SOO much fun with a group of 9 total. Even those who were hesitant to do it got really into it and had a blast! Highly recommend Bombshell :) read more

Staff is extremely rude and hung up on me when I called with concerns regarding rescheduling. I would not recommend booking your event through them because if it was uncomfortable on the phone, I cannot imagine how uncomfortable it would be working with them in person. read more

I've been taking classes here for almost 6 months. I absolutely love how my body has changed and more importantly I love how I feel!!! I'm so glad that I put my fears behind me and started taking classes here. I love the diversity in classes and ALL of the instructors ROCK! read more

A friend of mine and I attended this studio on a groupon we purchased when it was in Joliet back in 2012, we enjoyed it, but it was too far of a drive for us, so we didn't continue going. When another studio opened in Tinley Park (closer to home) we decided to purchase the groupon again. My friend was able to sign up for the Beginner Pole Dance class, but I was getting an error saying I did not meet the prereq's for the class. I called to ask about the error message, and was very rudly told that the "newbie" class was a pre req and that I had not done it recently enough for it to apply. (which by the way, it is stated nowhere on their website that there is a time frame in which you need to do the newbie class for it to count towards taking the beginners class). So now, we've been told we have to retake the newbie class, and can then take the beginners class. The groupon we purchased was for "3 beginner pole dance classes" NOT for 1 newbie class and 2 beginner classes as we have now been told we have to do. Also, nowhere on the groupon (even in the fine print) does it say you need to attend a newbie class first. My friend and I both contacted the Bombshell Movement Studio and were greeted very rudely by a woman who claims to be a manager. This woman has the WORST customer service I have ever encountered! Instead of working with us, she abruptly just told us she was going to cancel our groupons and give us our money back. I would definitely not purchase a class through this business again and would not recommend anyone else to either. read more

Very unprofessional. I will never patronize this studio, nor will I ever recommend it to others. I booked a bachelorette party at their Joliet facility in February for an August party (6 months in advance...!). They called me ONE week before the party to tell me that they closed their Joliet location and they have now moved to Chicago. Due to other plans for the party this completely put us in a jam and there was no way for us to get to Chicago for pole dancing. The owner only offered to remedy the situation by offering my deposit back (duh!) or giving us a $50 discount for the entire party. That is not even $5 off a girl. This bachelorette party was planned months in advance and the party at this facility was very important to the bride. The owner of bombshell said that they moved a month ago but did not think they had parties scheduled this far out and therefore never thought to look at their appointment calendar and call me. What kind of business doesn't check their appointment calendar 1 month out before closing their studio? I had to sign an electronic contract...do they not keep record of this? What a disappointment. Luckily, Tease Fitness in Naperville stepped in with a week notice and one of the instructors cancelled her trip to a regional dance competition in order to host our party at their facility. I highly recommend Tease Fitness and will NEVER recommend Bombshell Movement Studio. ' read more
