The first half of the class was a bit tough for me to get a hold of everything as these were new techniques to me but Claire was very kind and helpful to me and everyone else, fixing our form and helping us when we got stuck. Towards the second half of the class, it became super fun and relaxing towards the end. Highly reccomend and will be back :)

Worst customer service and a total mess. The booking system is flawed, and the staff is completely…read moreunhelpful. Having previously taken an initial trial class, I consulted your staff and later purchased a 1-week trial package online. The system allowed the transaction, and I scheduled three classes. At no point during my consultation or the online checkout process was I informed that this purchase was invalid. After attending one class, I contacted the assistant to upgrade to a 10-class package. Instead of facilitating this, the assistant informed me that I was ineligible for the weekly trial, abruptly canceled my remaining sessions, and demanded I pay the full standard rate for the single class attended. It is highly unprofessional to penalize a customer for a system loophole and staff oversight, especially when I was actively trying to purchase a long-term plan. I request a review of this matter and a fair resolution.

They have a number of different classes and you can cross train as much as you want! I have found joy in trying new apparatuses and challenging my body in different ways!

BE WARNED - you will get bruises and be sore, but its one of the most rewarding experiences ever! All the teachers are wonderful! Celeste is my go to lyra hoop teacher.

She runs the studio more like a friend group that fosters encouragment and positivty throughout the business.

Nicole is great, along with Jensen. They were attentive and offered options as naturally in a big group there are people with different levels. I purchased a package 4 class pack for $135 ($33.75/class). I used one on Oct 12 for Aerial Silks with Joanie. I had a positive experience as I felt she was a natural at silks and leading a positive class. I wanted to attend Nicole's Partner Acro on Oct 17 but I had issues paying for a drop-in class online. Their booking system defaulted to using a class from my class pack ($25 vs $33.75). I did not book it. I called a left a message with the business number the website for someone to help. I described exactly what the issue was. I received a text confirming that I was booked. I was confused and thought maybe the studio saved a spot for me but I just needed to pay later. Then I figured out that one of the classes were used from my package. After class I asked Nicole who I can talk to about billing. And to my surprise Ly was there. It was my first time meeting her! I explained my issue and she kept pointing out that it was the fault of their booking system or something that I did. (Keep in mind that I did not book it. Meaning someone authorized manually booked it on the business side.) I was going to let the price difference go. I asked how I can book next time without experiencing the same issue. Ly told me to reach out to her or Nicole to book it manually. But did not offer me her phone number. I asked her how to reach her, after she gave it to me I realized it was the same number on the website. I told her that was the number I left a voicemail on that day regarding the booking. Ly said something along the lines of not listening to it yet. I was thrown off because she did not offer me a refund or price adjustment. I had to initiate how to move forward for next time I pay for Partner Acro (indicating that I have interest in returning). I also had to ask for her phone number as it was my first time meeting her, surely she did not expect me know her phone number! Now I know her cellphone is the same one listed on their website. She did not have any common curtesy to acknowledge my experience. In places like this studio people come to with the intention to learn and create positive experiences. Often times these places become like a second home as community gets built. Also people come here to spend their discretionary income which needs to be acknowledged because of how much it cost to live in this area. Its not the few extra dollars that I spent that left me with a bad taste in my mouth but it was the indifferent response.

I've been a fitness instructor since the 1990's and I've seen all the things and have taken or…read moretaught all the classes along the way...THIS BUNGEE FITNESS CLASS is the best surprise class that will kick your ass while you are laughing so hard you don't even realize what a fantastic workout you are getting. It's exhilarating, it's a little scary because it's so different, but it's addicting. I had muscles hurt the next day that I didn't even realize I was using. The best part about it (besides the fact that you can go flying through the air) is that my knees and ankles didn't absorb the impact like it would in a normal jump or burpee or jog. This is great for all people, big, small, athletic or not, if you try something and you don't quite get it, it's ok you're tethered to the beams above. I made a reservation ahead of time, I did a drop in "Intro to Bungee" class $45 because I was just visiting from out of town, but everytime I'm in the bay area I am gonna come back because it was that awesome. Everyone is required to do the Intro class first, and even though my instructor (shout out Malcolm, he was pure awesome-ness!) said I could move onto Level 1 next time, I would take the intro class again if I had friends that want to try it too. I did get to see some of the Level 1 and Level 2 moves, which looked really hard to do, but THAT IS MY GOAL! I wanna be a flyer! I couldn't stop thinking about this class for the entire plane ride back and then several days after I got back home. P.S. You do have to jump on the scale before class because they need to know how much weight the bungee needs to support. If they went by my drivers license weight or what I *thought* I weighed that day, the bungees would not have supported me and I would've fallen flat on my face.

I've been coming to Inspiration Studios for many years now, and it's one of my favorite places to…read moretrain and unwind. They offer both Pole and Aerial classes, each with their own vibe and energy. Pole classes are held in Suite N and tend to have a bolder, more expressive atmosphere. Aerial classes are in Suite O and are usually calmer and more focused on flow and form. Make sure you head to the correct suite depending on your class. When you arrive, just check in with the instructor, or follow the lead of others in the room. Some instructors like to check everyone in personally, while others are more casual about it. It's a no-shoes kind of space. For Aerial, you're usually barefoot or in socks. For Pole, you're either barefoot or in heels depending on the class. I've taken a variety of classes over the years, but these days I'm more focused on Aerial. I especially want to shout out KC, who is my favorite instructor. She's clear, encouraging, and just a great teacher overall. Her classes are the perfect mix of supportive and challenging, and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. I've been a student since the studio was called Poletential, back when it was under different ownership. It's been great to see the space evolve while still staying a welcoming and empowering place to train.

As a life-long runner, I have no flexibility at all and didn't know how I'd fit in with all the graceful aerialists I saw online but it just looked like so much fun and I wanted a way to shake up my fitness routine! The community at RMF has been so inclusive and welcoming of myself and everyone I've seen come through the doors over the years. Learning aerials has allowed me to feel strong and confident in a way I never had before while having a ton of fun in a great space. All the coaches are great, patient, kind, and put safety first in everything they do. Whether you've been wanting to try an aerial class, or think it could never be for you, I highly recommend giving it a try and you'll become hooked for life!

At the other places I've been (not naming names, as I'm sure they're fine at what they specialize in), the instructors will show you how to do a move and then shrug if you can't do it. Here, they'll show adjustments or a previous progression and help you figure out how to do a move with patience and encouragement, and they won't leave you adrift feeling like you can't do something and not know why. I can't recommend Ascend highly enough!
