Matthew was a fun, energetic, patient teacher. Even when my kids and a few others were running around, it did not bother him one bit. I really enjoyed partnering with my son and daughter to create a dance or set of movements. You do not have to be an experienced dancer to enjoy the class, as the movements are very easy to follow and create. I broke into minimal sweat and felt like I had completed a light workout after 90 minutes. Good for all ages and levels or fitness. This is a good class for families, seniors, and kids all at the same time.

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.

Here's a recap of why I do not recommend personal training at Crunch Fitness College Park: - I have email screenshots that the fitness director offered me comp PT sessions due to a promo - I was stood up for my first two appointments. The director said she'd add another comp session as an apology. - I later requested a new trainer due to schedule conflicts. I just wanted to hurry and finish my package. - It took 6 weeks to assign me a new trainer and I had to repeatedly ask about it - The new fitness director said there was no record of comped sessions so I owed them for using more sessions than my package. I just want others to be aware that their mouth is writing checks their hands won't cash.

Keeping in mind, I go to the gym during the week before 6a, I wouldn't expect everyone to be chipper that early in the morning. The equipment and machines are rarely broken. My only issue besides the showers is the paper towel dispensers not being refilled and the broken cleaning solution spray bottles. I will down equipment and machines after each use. If there isn't paper towels in the dispenser, I have to walk halfway or across the gym to get paper towels. It's a small thing to gripe about, but for someone else who doesn't want to wipe down machines and equipment, it depends them from doing so. The spray bottles nozzel drips or squirts the solution instead of spray. Again, another cleaning deterrent for those who really don't care to clean. The "pay to play" concept fir for reviews is hilarious and genius at the same time. I appreciate a good incentive. If you leave a 5 star review and tell them, you get a prize. Lol Edit. I mistakenly left an empty water bottle earlier in the week. It's still there. As I was about to grab it, I figured I'd wait to see how long before it's removed and the showers were cleaned.
