I would not refer anyone to go to this studio. Poetry is one of the most unprofessional people I…read morehave ever met. She was late to just about all of my classes that I actually got to take. I bought a package from her for 10 classes and she told me they expired 6 weeks from the time purchased. I was determined to get them in, but she up and changed her hours last month after me only taking 5 classes. I contacted her for a class one day and she made up an excuse of why she couldn't have class that day. I was only off that day and my other day off her studio is now closed all day in general. That was the only consecutive day I had off every week. I contacted her that next weekend to see if I could come to class, and she tells me my classes expired, but when I tried to use them she was never available. She's a scam artist! Take your money to Expose or Pole Pressure.

I had a blast going here! I always get my money worth. I get a workout and learn some new tricks…read more The owner, Poetry, tailors your class to your skill level and strengths. She usually teaches me tricks that I didn't know my body was capable of performing and I'm always sore in places I didn't remember working out. I get a good work out and she makes sure that she or one of her assistants spots you for tricks that you may not be as confident about. I just had a class this morning and I will be going back soon!

The class was pole flow and babyyyyyy when I say I was sore after class, Mynaaa was the instructor who worked the hell out of her students. The prices are reasonable especially for drop ins and open pole which is $11, the also offer 1 free class to try to see if u like it. They have gained a new student, I definitely will be going back. BTW they offer more than just pole classes, they offer martial arts ,sound bath and much more.

I've been coming to Xpose for 2.5 years now, and I still remember how nervous I was walking into…read morethe studio for the first time. That nervousness disappeared instantly thanks to the warm welcome I received at the front desk. As someone who's a bit older, I wondered if I'd feel out of place--but age has never been a factor here. The environment is inclusive, supportive, and empowering. I've taken classes with every instructor, and not once have I had a bad experience. Each one brings their own unique energy, style, and creativity to class. The choreography is consistently fun and challenging, and the music always hits. No two classes are the same, which keeps things exciting and fresh. Every time I leave class, I feel stronger, more confident, and completely empowered. I'm not the same person I was when I first walked in over two years ago. I'm completely obsessed with pole now, and I owe it all to Xpose for helping me discover that passion--and for giving me the space to grow into the person I am today.

They also offer classes like stretch, yoga, mixed fit, Zumba and more. If you want to build on your skill set this is the studio for you. I focus on the cirque sensual side of the studio (so acro chair, aerial hoop, and pole silks). It's a lot of fun and I have progressed since I began almost 2 years ago. I just wish there were more classes and levels offered within the cirque membership. It's been great working with the current instructors. Though I miss many of the old instructors, each instructor - old and new - brings their own uniqueness and fun to the studio.

I would not recommend this gym. I've been fortunate enough to take classes at/join several smaller,…read morehyper, local gyms. This one, however, left a lot to be desired. I purchased a package of yoga classes from Groupon. The owner was kind enough to apply the package to my account, which I appreciated. Originally, I was supposed to be able to book the classes directly through Groupon, but I was unable to do so. Not a big deal. However, what is a big deal, is the fact that on the same day that the package was applied to my account, I informed the owner that I would be attending a class. I registered for the class and everything through the app. It is nice that they have their own app. However, Things started to crumble when I actually arrived. I register for the class less than two hours before it started. Actually, I think it was within an hour. When I arrived, there was no greeting when I entered the building. There was a young woman sitting at a desk on a computer. I informed her it was my first time and asked what I needed to do. She checked me in, but said nothing else. She didn't indicate if I should wait, go back to the class, what was going on. So, I sat down next to another woman who had a yoga mat. About 10 minutes later, and definitely after the scheduled start of class, another woman came in with a yoga mat and proceeded to walk right through the door next to the desk. At that point, we realize that maybe we were able to go back. So, we started to. However, in order to get to the back room where yoga is held, you have to walk-through to pole/chair dancing classes. I hate walking through other people's classes that are actively taking place. But whatever. It would've been fine if we hadn't been made to wait because they were recording videos of the dancers.Like... I'm already late. PLEASE. So, we eventually find our way to the yoga room, which is really a pole room but it has enough space for yoga. As soon as we entered, an instructor made note of the fact that we would not be needing our yoga mats today. I was immediately annoyed and confused. Why would I not need a yoga mat for a yoga class? It was at that point that she informed us that we would be participating in a "chair one "class because the yoga instructor asked her to sub. Now, remember, when I said that I had just booked the class? You don't think the owner knew this? You don't think she should've maybe mentioned that to me as the person who clearly had signed up for yoga for a reason? And the chair one class was nothing like what I had hoped for. It was not a chair dance class. It was a "cardio" class for people with mobility issues. Based on the looks of things, nobody in that class had mobility issues. I was so tight. I ended up doing all of the exercises standing up because I was already there and needed to work out. I absolutely left with an attitude. However, I try to give small businesses, grace. I came back the next week. And when I did, I experienced a yoga flow that was confusing, and not relaxing at all. In fact, during the entire flow, you could hear the ex excessively loud and upbeat music from the chair and pole classes. And, the instructor kept having issues with the sound during our session. I did not like the flow, I did not like the cues. This wouldn't have even been a good intro to yoga class for someone who has never done it before. There was just too much unprofessional behavior here. And I absolutely would not recommend.

This studio is tucked far far away in Frederick. If you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't find…read moreit. It's in an industrial/ office park behind lots of fields. The roads to get there feel very strange! That being said, I went here for some aerial fabrics classes. They have several levels, so you can find the Igor one based on your skill set. They also have Lyra and pole. They have a ton of kids classes. The studio is compact but they get the job done. The folks here are very nice and very welcoming. There are snacks and things if you need a quick before or after class pick me up. There is a little seating area before you get to class in the studio area. The bathrooms are very nice. The parking is a free lot with a few spots in front and more off to the side and back. I haven't had problems parking, but there is only one entrance into and exit from the lot. Anyhow, the class size for aerial fabrics is 6, so it's cozy. The classes are 1 hour, but it's a good amount to get stuff done. I kinda wish it were longer but appreciate the shorter time. They have individual and class packs, so that's up to you what you'd like to do. They are not pushy about classes or anything. Everyone is just super nice and helpful. I like his studio a lot! If you feel like being in Frederick for aerial fabric or Lyra or pole classes, Luna is an excellent place!

They have pole classes and Lyra and fabric - super fun! They may have more, but those are the ones I've seen and considered. Since I'm relatively new to aerial arts, I've only taken a few classes here for Lyra and fabrics, but I have loved the classes. The class size is 6 or fewer, so your instructor has plenty of time to help you if you're lost, confused or, you know, stuck in the air. The instructors are talented individuals who take the time to model the skills and are adept at figuring out how to help you see the skills from different perspectives. They change cues and point out different muscles, movements and positions to cater to the student. There are mirrors in the front of the aerial studio, so, you can see what you're doing. It is helpful, but it can be a little daunting. I've never had a problem finding parking here. The cost is affordable as far as aerials arts classes are priced. There are options for class packages if you are interested in going regularly. Have fun, it's a blast!

I joined this studio in 2021 to support a Black woman-owned business, but I can no longer attend…read moredue to severe safety, hygiene, and management issues. I waited until my membership ended to post this due to a documented pattern of retaliation by the owner. Safety & Environment: * Crime: Multiple cars have been stolen or broken into in the lot. The owner did not warn members and was dismissive when another member and I were personally threatened by a man on-site. * Privacy Violations: Members were filmed without consent for the owner's adult subscription site. It took multiple requests to remove the footage, and one member was temporarily banned for complaining. * Harassment: A member used racial slurs and made death threats toward others. The owner did not cancel their membership until that individual was caught stealing from the studio. Facility Maintenance: * Hygiene: Roaches have been observed on site and the owner failed to notify the community. * Equipment: Poles are poorly maintained--some sway, creak, or have cracks. Chrome-allergy risks are ignored as poles are moved without labels. The bathroom is often inoperable (clogged toilet/shower used for storage). Poor Management: * Communication: Benefits (like unlimited open sessions) were stripped mid-contract without notice, and members were penalized for using them. Different members are provided with different resolutions for the same issue. Many are provided with no resolution at all. She has switched the app used to provide studio updates 3 times within the past year and is adamant about her being the one to disseminate information through it, but not receptive to members trying to communicate with her through it. Despite switching the app 3 times she expects people to inconvenience themselves by downloading the app du jour each time and as an incentive offers benefits to members that use the most recent app, even though we all have the same membership contracts and pricing tiers. * Volatility: The owner frequently engages in disrespectful conflicts with students, staff, prospective staff, and guests. She has threatened to call the police on a member for simply raising a system issue. Supporting Black-owned businesses is important to me, but I cannot ignore the poor treatment Black women specifically have faced here. Many polers around the DMV started their journeys at this studio, because it's one of the oldest in the area. Many in the DMV pole community have left for the reasons I shared and more. Please do your research and ask around before signing a contract. I wish I had this information before starting a membership. I never would've signed up if I had known. The studio owner has publicly claimed that she's always seen as the villain and the only members that complain are those that don't get their way. But I think if she took the time to sit and reflect, listen to the community, and not approach every conversation defensively it would be a valuable experience.

For a while Colleen was the only Lyra instructor, but now they have Elixir and Lyra Bae as well. Each instructor's style varies and so do their difficulty level. With interest in Lyra still building up in the area, I think they'll have distinguished levels soon. I like to alternate between the Lyra instructors. What I love most about the studio is that it's very client/instructor centered. Schedules and class offerings are adjusted based on student interest and what the instructors want to teach. It really makes for a fun learning environment. Since joining I've gotten the opportunity to try many of their other classes, like Floor F@$?ery, Pole 1, Chair Playtime, etc. All the instructors are great at what they do and offer their own flair to each class. I have thoroughly enjoyed every instructor I've encountered. They really have me considering starting my pole journey! But I will say this: I hate their website but love the mobile app! Once you start at the studio, please download it bc it will make your life so much easier. There is also an online members only chat available. Their memberships are affordable and they constantly share specials and events on their IG.

After trying to mitigate the situation, we received multiple more rude texts and then no response. Today, one week later, we received a text about a class scheduled for the next day. Due to the absolute lack of communication, we had no previous knowledge of this class. When I called to ask what this new class scheduled was, I was met with extreme rudeness and was cursed out. All my communication was with Tia, I had tried to speak to her with respect and figure out the situation, but it was clear that she had zero customer service skills.
