In just a few months I've watched myself really grow in confidence and abilities thanks to teachers like Hurricane, Serena, Candy Cane, Nisey, Anesia, Tish and *of course* every single student. If you're looking for a challenging but fun workout, check it out. If you're looking for a good time with cool people, check it out.

I bought two classes for my roommate for her birthday. Nowhere on the website does it indicate any…read morespecification for gifts. My roommate shows up to take the class and they won't let her take the class despite showing proof that it was paid for and informing them that the classes were a gift. Then, they wouldn't REFUND the class or allow a reschedule, saying "well technically it's used" even though they didn't let her USE THE PASS. Then the manager comes out and is rude, saying "I'm the manager, this is MY store." Manager is rude. Tried redeeming the classes before the 30 days. Really, they just want to take your money. Don't come!! Save your money! edit: i appreciate the apology and your independent review of the footage. however, it was communicated that the class was a gift for her birthday and when asked if the class could be rescheduled or refunded, it was indicated that it was technically used despite being denied entry. While i appreciate that a refund was offered after sending an email, i too wonder how many clients were turned away from reasonable resolutions. changing the review to 2 stars for the apology and refund. wishing you a good rest of your week and better luck with communications in the future. edit 2: upon further review of the reviews left before, it seems like a common practice to enforce unreasonable attendance policies and citing "camera footage" evidence that only management have access to when confronted with reports of unprofessional behavior. seems at least some staff struggle to treat customers with dignity and respect (as a customer do your own due diligence to deduce why they may treat some customers better than others). all in all, probably better to take classes elsewhere but that's just my opinion.

This is a great dance studio I'm sure. But I came for the infrared sauna. And let me tell you, this…read moreis probably the best infrared sauna studio I've ever been to. And I've been too many of them. What makes this one special is the attention to detail and the very personal customer service. The studio is extremely clean, I mean, impeccably. All of the towels smell fresh, all of the floors are freshly polished. Everything smells delightful. The sauna is top notch. It has a large infrared light bar, but it also has very strong, infrared light around the sauna otherwise, and on the ceiling of the sauna as well. and this one, you are also able to adjust it to other types of light such as blue, green, Amber, etc.You are also to control your own levels of heat. There is a television with prepaid Amazon prime channels. The Bluetooth speaker inside the sauna is loud and crisp, and of course you can control the levels and channels with the remote. The gentleman who helped me is named Ken. He gave me a nice tour of the studio upon arrival, and then showed me how to operate everything. He was extremely helpful and kind.Another nice thing is this sauna is very large. I was literally able to stretch out and recline. I think this will be my go to infrared sauna spot.

She really helped me by spotting my movements and showing me how to do it better. The studio is nice with 7 poles and smooth hardwood floors. I do find it strange that they allow more students than the number of poles. The instructor doesn't even have her own pole. So if there are extra students, we would need to share the pole with them and the instructor. For the amount of money we're paying for the classes and the limited time we have, I'd think everyone should have their own poles.

SHE IS AWESOME! she made me feel super welcome the whole time and helped me get more comfortable with my skin. I started the 6 week beginner classes and WOOOW! is so much fun! The amount of support and cheers you receive makes your heart all happy and warm! I was terrified of taking a "sexy class" because I am NOT a sexy human, and my body confidence is not.. let's say nice.. but I got out of there with super high energies thinking that this sport might be a life long hobby for me!

This place is amazing. I've been going for a couple of months now and have tried classes with…read moredifferent apparatuses and instructors, and while not every apparatus is for me, all the instructors have been fantastic. Classes are tough but accessible and attitudes are encouraging. I am an absolute beginner. (Or I was, a couple of months ago, when I started. Now I'm an absolute-minus-a-whisker beginner!) Not only that, I've never been particularly strong or successful in physical activity, or well coordinated, or confident. This isn't just the first place I felt a complete lack of judgment, but the first place that has actually let me develop physical skills. Never been able to do a push-up before and now I can do a few in a row. Never climbed a rope, but I can (almost!) climb a silk. Something else that really stands out is how much instructors pick up on your movements. Several times, I've been given suggestions about how to improve based specifically on how my body works, like trying something first with my left side because I'm left-footed, or the fact that I have some hypermobility. I knew there was something different about the way I moved, but that's the first time I had a word for it. Believe is a great place to learn. The atmosphere is welcoming, encouraging, and accepting. While every class is definitely a workout, it's more like an activity. It's fun and challenging, and writing as someone who has join several gyms and dreaded every workout... I look forward to going every week.

She was so charming and friendly and really made everyone comfortable. She made the class!!! She was a wonderful teacher who made learning easy and enjoyable. I would love to come back but it is quite expensive. Probably good for a treat!The overall studio is very pretty and aesthetic. The aerial room was a bit tight but did the job! Loved the openness of everything. The entrance and signing into the class was a bit messy and hectic, the entrance was under construction and the man at the front handing out the waivers and such seemed a bit overwhelmed. Didn't feel super welcoming. Streamlining and organizing this section would def help put clients more at ease since I was starting to doubt the class in the beginning.-BE SURE TO BRING A YOGA MAT! Otherwise you'll have to pay $4 to rent one. -The overall class was 10 minutes of warmup, 30 min lesson, and then 10 minutes of free time to record and practice what you just learned. -The AERIAL DANCE INTRO CLASS was a great class for those who have never done aerial or those who haven't done it in years. We learned 3-4 positions. - Paid street parking or limited lot parking ( where ABOUT TIME CAFE is , free during the day) - bathroom available - Locker room on the side - They have two cute dogs in the studio - Recording isn't allowed till the end.

First of all, i booked through class pass. The minute I walked in a man told me that the class was…read morecanceled and then he made me sign a waiver, and then they squeezed me in the class, but why even ruined the vibe by saying the classes is canceled and it doesn't make much sense I guess they just cancel classes if their members book all the spots? It doesn't really make sense but OK, already vibe ruined but i took the aerial 1 class. The man followed me around asking where i got my yoga mat and even when i was leaving asked if i am taking my yoga mat and where it is etc- very annoying, bizarre and frankly off putting as hell. he was anything but welcoming so i suggest you remove him from whatever he's doing in the front. never want to come back. apparently you have to pay for rental yoga mat. But even before I get to the class, the entry entryway and the vibe of the whole place is off because it's so worn out. i'm scared the fabric will fall off the hook and it's extremely smelly and overall unstable and worn out looking- not sure if i can trust the hanging to support me but that's the attorney in me talking. everything i see seems like a liability, especially their old hooks and the way the instructor walks around with a huge ladder in a crowded class. Next the class itself- instructor spent majority of the time making us stretch and adjusting our fabric. it was such a waste of time. don't do it if you're trying to get a workout in.

Omg, this place was so much fun. I came here for a pole party for one of my friend's birthday. Of…read morecourse, it was a bit intimidating because 1) it take a lot of strength to get on pole 2) it's a form of expression and some people in our group were a lot more modest than others. Nevertheless, the instructor made everyone feel comfortable during this experience. We went well over an hour, but it was a blast! I would highly recommend doing a pole party for a birthday or a get together! If I was closer to this studio, I'd definitely come back.

I've been coming to Luscious now for about 3 months. I have taken 4 different instructors. I…read moreappreciate the variety in classes and really dig the three studios they have. I feel like this is awesome and allows for such a wide selection of classes. I also feel that the instructors I have experienced are extremely knowledgeable and talented! There is plenty of street parking all day in the surrounding streets. And it feels safe, even at night. I will most likely continue to have this studio in my rotation and I am looking forward to taking other instructors. Additionally, the desk staff was super kind and helpful the first time I visited. Poles and additional items are standard to other studios. One thing to note though, is that there are some classes that get booked super early in advance so you may have to wait about 1-2 months to find an opening.

She's so so nice and what amazing service. We had considered purchasing a pole but safety was my number one concern. I'm so glad we decided to rent from Nicole. Thank you thank you thank you!

Made my entire trip worthwhile. While drop-in classes are super expensive ($45 each) I can't imagine how much building rent in LA would be for businesses, so checks out. This was a few months ago from writing this review, but I took classes with Christine, Peppa, and Ran. Some of those instructors don't teach at Jagged anymore, but the quality was consistent across the board. First of all, I would not recommend taking 3 classes in a row. I was excited to be there, and it was my only opportunity to visit during my trip. I love how Jagged utilizes their small space to simultaneously teach pole and aerial or stretch classes. Instructors truly cater to the level of their students. They're SO strong and talented! I found each class to be sufficiently challenging, and the community is wonderful too. I walked out, filled with so much happiness and adrenaline! Make sure to bring plenty of water and arrive early because street parking in Santa Monica is awful. I look forward to coming back to Jagged and trying more classes. There's so many different types and levels--something for everyone. They even have a first-timer special so you can try your first class for less than the full drop-in price.

He also does a great job of encouraging and pushing everyone to safe limits. Very tight knit and homey environment. Looking forward to learning more here.

Amazing!

Trippy's energy radiates through a screen and I was immediately interested in being coached by him. I had my first lesson last night and WOW!!!!! I left the studio so giddy and excited. I am TERRIBLE at pole but it has become so addicting for me and trippy made me feel so comfortable about my skill level and allowed me to feel safe in my space. Since I've done all the research for this, -no, you will not find a better coach for a better price anywhere near here. Trust me. To be fair, I go to the other studio because it's quite literally .5 minutes walking distance from my house and they offer open pole (so does this place) so it allows me to practice what I've learned with trippy on a regular basis. Otherwise, Opolence is my go to for good now!
