Exercise and vacation are two words that do not go together, at least in my book…read more Amazingly, I was able to convince my friends to partake in physical activity while on vacation (too much seafood), and I zeroed in on Studio by the Sea since it was close to where we were staying, $10 for a drop-in class was a steal, and Wendy the owner promptly replied to my questions by text. Courtney the teacher was helpful and friendly. There was something calming about hearing the waves purr in the background while doing chaturanga. Arms and shoulders were varying degrees of sore the next day. We peeked at the Zumba class going on after yoga, and it looked like a high-energy party. If we were staying in PCB longer, we definitely were up for trying out more classes. So yeah, exercise being a highlight of our trip sounds very strange but it was!

3.5 stars I would…read moregive this studio 3 stars, but it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a studio that will watch your children while you do yoga, or if you would like your child to take dance instruction, then this is the place for you. If you'd like a quiet setting to practice yoga in, then you should probably look elsewhere. Said children and dance lessons will be all you hear while you're trying to focus. They do also offer yoga on the beach though, so that is also an option if that's your thing. All in all it's not a bad studio, but it's not what I'm personally looking for.

This is my home pole studio, & I average about 2-3 days/week here (wish my schedule allowed for…read moremore). The studio has an excellent dark/sexy aesthetic with flattering lights. They've been adding tons of new classes to the schedule since the owner Shanaine took over (Summer 2024). She has put a lot of work & heart into the studio & fosters a warm, welcoming, & inclusive community that is amazing for beginners, experienced dancers, or visitors (as a beach & military town, we get lots of visitors & we love it!). Highly recommend. My personal fitness philosophy is to find a physical activity that is intrinsically fun & it will never feel like work or a chore. We are so lucky to have a pole studio here in Panama City. I always have a blast at Steel Roots, it truly is my play time, & I have been able to get incredibly fit in the meantime. I lost 20 lbs last year when I was able to consistently show up for pole. It's such a good workout, & so much fun, you don't even realize how good of a workout you are getting!

This studio is intimate and stunning. Great variety of classes and expertise! I absolutely…read morerecommend Steel Roots!
