    We attended 1 combo 2 class here and were beyond disappointed. The whole experience was bad. First…read moreoff the parking situation is a nightmare. Once we got inside it was so crowded with parents and kids bunched in together, you couldn't even get through without bumping into 5 other people. Got to where we needed to be and imagine my surprise that there is no viewing window! I specifically asked about this before signing up and was told we could see the kiddos- well yeah you can see them if you stand up, go to the class door, and look through like a small window on the door (picture a very small rectangle). So you'd have to walk in front of other parents and block this little window in order to see your kid. 100% was misled and I wasn't ok with it- who doesn't want to actually watch their 4 year old take their first dance lesson?! Not to mention the vibe of the whole place was off IMO. Decided we wouldn't be going back, so we called today to cancel and let them know why- was told they'd need a 30 day notice and I'd be charged for an additional week. So I was misled by your staff, wasn't satisfied with the experience, paid for a month (attended 1 class) and the deposit, and that's your response. Get out of here! I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.

    I am a self-admitted helicopter parent and NorthPointe has been a saving grace for both myself and…read moremy daughter. The staff is incredibly kind and patient with me, yet by gently encouraging me to step back and trust them with my daughter's growth I have watched my daughter blossom into a strong spirit, whereas she would barely let me leave her alone in the classroom two years ago. Not only has she developed technique and skill, but also friendships, confidence and passion about the art of dance! My daughter also has true connections with her teachers, so even when frustrated by the challenges of something new she wants to go right back to class the following week. The front desk staff always greets us by name which makes us feel like family; even the fellow parents are friendly and welcoming. Two things I like about NorthPointe: 1)that they can meet your child where he or she is, and take them as far as he or she would like to go, from just-for-fun-and-exercise all the way to Juilliard (a recent past student is now studying there under scholarship!). And 2) it's not just about DANCE-- it's also about building character and confidence, developing the person as a whole. So even if my child doesn't want to go to Juilliard, she is still developing skills that are essential in so many other areas of her life. There was an earlier negative reviewer on here mentioning her daughter having an issue with a class she tried out, and I am so glad she contacted the studio owner about her concerns. The reviewer mentioned that the owner said the instructor was in tears over the parent's complaint, and that is an excellent example of how seriously NorthPointe takes their standards. That the owner herself called the parent speaks volumes alone, that the teacher was so upset about the misunderstanding, and that the studio offered multiple solutions to this parent-- you can see the level of service NorthPointe provides, even when the parent has an alternate viewpoint of an experience. It seems to me that very few businesses operate this way these days, so for me, it's encouraging to hear that these concerns were addressed so appropriately.

    I started dancing in high school and fell in love with the art of dance and choreography in…read morecollege. Although I am not the best dancer in the world, It is truly my passion and I love to learn! Artisan is really the only studio in the area that has affordable, drop-in friendly adult classes. Been going off and on since around 2016 and there are lots of class offerings in all styles on evenings and weekends to try. If you want to work on technique or be helped by the instructor, make sure you start with the "absolute beginner" offerings because most of the classes are choreo based and are fast paced. Don't know what I would do without Artisan! It has been key to helping me re-visit my passion for dance and give me opportunities that I thought would be lost after college!

    My roommate and I have always wanted to take hip hop dance classes, but were never really sure…read morewhere we could take them that was low stakes and relatively inexpensive. Artisan is that place. Not only do they have an awesome new-member deal ($30 for 30 days of unlimited classes), but they have a wide variety of beginner classes that you can either sign up for ahead of time, or just drop in! I agree with a sentiment expressed by a classmate during my last class at Artisan: "This is the best place in Columbus for beginner level, adult dance classes." Because of the awesome deal, we decided to try a variety of different dance classes: hip hop, contemporary, ballet, heels, and jazz! All of them were great! Though each style of dance is different, each beginner class is formatted the same: a warm up at the beginning, followed by a choreographed routine. The teacher picks a song ahead of time and then breaks down the choreography throughout class into easily-digested chunks. The classes move at whatever pace the participants dictate and typically end with a group performance of the routine. Overall, I cannot believe what an awesome find this was! I would absolutely recommended Artisan to others.

    I've belonged to LA Fitness now for 14 months. I visit regularly, and I have to say that I'm a…read morelittle surprised at all the negative reviews! Hopefully this review will change it up a little. I joined in January, 2018 and am able to visit any location. Polaris is closest, and I love their walking track and resistance weight machines. I recently started taking a water aerobics class on Thursday nights, and my dad and I also do some open swimming when classes aren't offered. I feel like for all that's available and the minimal monthly payment, there's quite a bit of bang for your buck. People keep mentioning how disgusting this place is. From what I see, it's the actual clientele who are to blame! Paper towels not making it to the trash can, machines not being wiped off after each use, etc. Pick up after yourself! But, this unfortunately happens everywhere. They do have a cleaning staff, but I'm pretty sure they are after hours. I, myself don't want someone cleaning up around me while I'm trying to workout. "Excuse me, can you move while I run this vacuum?" Anyway, they have shorter hours than other gyms, but still convenient enough. The staff is friendly and they have an app for the Apple Watch, which I think is very convenient for quick check in. There is a women's area with weight machines, for the more reserved. There is a complete schedule of fitness classes and tuition is included in your membership. There is a sauna in each locker room, and the pool is a short course, so 1/2 size to Olympic. Swimmers are always very courteous with sharing lanes to accommodate everyone. All in all, I love being a member here. I split my time between here and another gym because the amenities are different and it gives me the variety I need.

    I want to start by saying that I am an extremely passive and non-confrontational type of Customer…read more I did not go into the gym with the expectation that there was going to be an argument or especially to be berated. Last Wednesday, my friend and I signed up for the 3 day pass at your 2100 Polaris Parkway location, in Columbus Ohio. We went and were greeted by Tyler who at first introduction seemed very kind. My friend and I worked out and loved the gym. Tyler told us he would be sending up offer emails, and to expect prices to go up by Monday, as "the gym is switching back to LA Fitness." We saw this as a ploy to get us to sign up faster, but it didn't deter us from joining. The plan was to use our 3 day passes and then sign up. Tyler called me on Friday, I explained to him that I haven't had a chance to come in, but we were very interested and I would sign up through the offer email. Later that night, I attempted to sign up with my American Express card. I received an error on the next page. I retried with my routing and account information, signed the documents, and went on with my busy weekend. The following Monday (4/1) I walk in and attempt to give my phone number because I haven't received a badge. To my surprise I'm not found in their system. Tyler takes me and my friend back to his office and says that he told us to sign up within the timeframe, as prices would increase. I explain to him that I had. He then asks to check my browser history, as if I'm lying. I show him, which proves I was in fact on the website and received the error and continued to re-attempt. He continued to question my search history and stated that if my search history had shown thecorrect URL that he would have been able to honor the price. My friend and I both questioned the point of the browser history interrogation, and explained in detail exactly what happened: that I signed up, received the error, and retried, but something must have gone wrong. We asked that he please honor the price as it was a system error and not a human one. He continues to badger us, and tells me I should've come in if I had issues. Again, had I known the system wouldn't process the signup, I would've come in; it was a complete surprise that it did not process. This goes on for about 10 minutes. Where I feel he is completely chastising us, and accusing us of lying, and he offers the jump in price of $29.99. I tell him it's not about the $5 difference. It is about his treatment of us. That I'm extremely uncomfortable by the confrontation, and because of his conduct, that I'm leaving and signing up for another gym. As we are walking out, he proceeds to call us clowns and walks away. My friend and I are in disbelief. I have never in my life been treated so disrespectfully by a staff member, let alone a manager. All for voicing our concerns. I am dumbfounded and chose to walk out. Again, because I don't like confrontation. Because he called us "clowns", my friend asks to speak to the Gym manager who is on a phone call at the main front desk. She waits. All while Tyler is throwing a temper tantrum right there behind the front desk, in front of all the incoming customers, loudly complaining about the altercation and making snide comments about us, all the while my friend is still waiting for the manager and is standing right there, just two feet away, overhearing all of it. That it itself is unbelievably unprofessional. His manager, who is still on the phone with a customer, motioned for him to stop (multiple times), but he continued. This went on for 10 or more minutes. There were two other colleagues who were there and can attest to this behavior. I am appalled that someone like this is in a customer service position. A gym is supposed to feel inviting, and that's not how we felt. Our excitement for the gym quickly dissipated. I will never sign up for a membership here as long as Tyler is working there. As a gym in such a competitive environment like Columbus, there should be more thought into who you hire and who you choose to keep on. Especially with a planet fitness right across the street. My friend and I quickly crossed the street, signed up for planet fitness and had a great workout, contrary to how Tyler treated us.
