I just started going here consistently and I LOVE IT! I really don't enjoy cardio but I feel like…read morethese classes totally trick me into loving it, plus getting strength in alone the way. The class formats are really fun-lots of variety and each week builds on previous classes so you feel like you're learning and getting the hang of things after a week or two. Walking into the studio is also just FUN- so inclusive, fun music and lights, and super supportive instructors. My favorite classes are Bands with Elise and Dance with Chris! I feel like even after 2 weeks of consistency I already feel like my endurance is improving and I was able to advance to a more challenging resistance band in the Bands class. Looking forward to seeing results once I keep up the consistency!

I went to my first class a few weeks ago and this was the first fitness class that I thought about walking out before it ended. Don't get me wrong, the studio is awesome and has a nice vibe - the staff is super friendly as well. But this didn't feel like dancing...it was more like...how would I describe it... choreographed fitness steps for suburban housewives with no rhythm. Ah, there we go. Instructions were super fast and hard to follow, the music didn't match the vibe of the dance.... ie: attempting to dance hip hop style to a Jackson 5 song. (I use the term hip hop style loosely because I *think* that's what they were aiming for.) I'm glad I went though..I'd been wanting to try AKT for a while but learned it was not for me. I think this could be a great place for a specific demographic, though.

If you're looking for a place that offers high intensity fitness lessons while also having fun, then look no further! Love the high energy and positivity that every instructor brings to each class. After every session, I get to go back feeling so pumped! I have already started seeing results (improved energy, stamina and sleep) just after attending a few sessions. In addition to these high intensity fitness workout sessions, they also offer choreography classes where you get to learn a dance routine with step by step guidance. They are so fun-filled and helps bring out the dancer in you, irrespective of the level and build muscle memory. Overall, I am super glad to have found this group and hope to continue my fitness/dance journey with them long term.

The fact that that was a five minute argument was absurd!! so customer service goes a long way if you don't care about that then this is probably your place. it's very cute,and I loved everything about it except for the people that run it and that is the god honest truth. also don't go here if you don't want to feel bad about being 'poor' (less than 100k per year) .... not being able to afford a class when they're offering a scholarship to you but you're made to feel guilty and bad about it everyday. (the little backstory behind that is also we are exposed to start paying after this semester when we got back on our feet after moving here and spending all our money moving out here!) Our daughter would've loved to go back. And now I feel like she can't because of these people. Just really poorly mannered. Aside from that the classes were great.

Aria is a great, great place for dancing - both to learn and for social dances. I am part of Swing Kids at UW, and one of the current instructors here (Ben) manages the place.

Details I love: the bathrooms are spacious and single-use only, which is a relief. As someone who positively hates using a cubicle with huge gaps at the door hinge, this is great. They have little lockers to store your belongings, and also a coat rack. The designers of this place clearly put a lot of thought into planning it! I also like the occasional free cake when it's someone's birthday :) Thanks a lot for all the fun music and dance.
