This was such a memorable experience and definitely worth trying over and over again! Booking was so easy! I inquired for availability and got fast responses. Reserving was also quick and secure. The class is somewhat confusing to find at first. The class is located in a building shared with a church, martial arts, gym, and other business. The class is in building A, to the right side. Don't go to the side where it's next to the main road. Parking wasn't too bad either. Charmaine was our instructor and she was awesome! Not only was she patient with us, since some of us were late, but she made the class fun. She showed us modified moves for those who couldn't do them. We were shown floor choreography as well as pole. Since it's an introductory session, we had pole choreography but not climb on it. The music was great, and it was artists I mentioned the birthday girl wanted. Definitely worth checking out for private session or signing up for classes. read more

My cousins and I took a private class with Charmaine for birthday and we had an amazing time! Charmaine was so warm and patient with us, also made us feel so comfortable! We had so much fun learning some moves together. Highly recommend Magnetic Power Fit. Thank you so much Charmaine! read more

Almost 2 years ago, I walked into Magnetic Pole Fit with zero strength, zero coordination, and zero intentions of making pole my personality. Like... none. Couch was my main sport. Started with the 6-week beginner series with Mayari and somehow never left. Since then I've taken everything: Level 1.5, advanced beginner with Ryker, lollipop lyra, active flexibility, acro, intermediate, intermediate 2, intermediate 3, heels, sexy chair... if it exists, I've signed up for it. MPF didn't just get me moving, it got me hooked. The instructors (Lacin, Mayari, and Ryker) and front desk admins (shout out to Azucena, Yanelly, Charmaine, and Emily) are the most helpful, incredible, and kindest humans. The classes are addictive, and the community is unmatched. Came in sedentary. Stayed for the spins, the strength, and the main character energy. I mean, have YOU ever had COMPLETE STRANGERS cheer you on?! read more

I started the 6 week pole program for absolute beginners with peacha in January of this year. Came into this with no previous pole experience whatsoever... my main forms of working out are weightlifting, yoga, and pilates reformer , so utilizing a pole as a workout was definitely a shock to my system. i continued with another 6 week program for advanced beginners with lacin. a little more fast paced than the first 6 weeks but you definitely start to piece together a lot of what you learned in the first program. in between classes I attended a lot of open pole to understand what my body was actually doing overall both programs eased me into getting comfortable with the pole - learning basic moves alongside regression or pole conditioning if you can't quite get there yet. through the span of three months, I gained a lot of body confidence (and bruises!!). both peacha and lacin have been excellent instructors- they've made my monday nights eventful and lively :) everyone i've met here so far have been nice and encouraging this studio also offers chair dancing and floorwork! I've actually had my eye on them, it might be my next venture here :D read more

I love Magnetic Pole Fit! Such a welcoming place with knowledgeable instructors, friendly front desk managers, and encouraging students. Lacin the owner is the best, she really makes you feel like family. This studio offers a variety of classes, not just pole so there's something for everyone. Try it and you won't regret it :) read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Atmosphere 10/10 - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

I have to give props to the studio where my pole journey started. I had been wanting to try pole for years and finally pulled the trigger and signed up for the 6-Week Absolute Beginners Program. I've never been a sports/exercise person but pole is the perfect blend of fun and challenging! I've also done the Advanced Beginners, Intermediate-I, Intermediate-II, and Spin Pole Programs and they've all been great! MPF is the only pole studio I've found in the Bay Area that offers these types of multi-week courses that keep you accountable and coming back and make sure you're building on moves and skills in a progressive way. You get to build a relationship with the instructor who can really get to understand your skill level. And you also get to see the same people every week, watch each others' progress, and hype each other up! All the MPF instructors are amazing and each bring their own strengths and unique teaching styles. You can't go wrong with any of them! I started pole with no athletic background or ability and now I can get myself upside down and into moves I only dreamed of at the start! If you're thinking of trying the Absolute Beginners Program, take this as your sign to do it! You won't regret it! read more

So happy & thankful to have acted on my curiosity. I spontaneously dropped in on a gentle pole class with a friend just for funsies & found a new exercise & hobby of mine. Since then I joined the 6 week absolute beginner pole fitness program that was then extended to another 6 week advanced beginner program. Best decision for my fitness journey because now I am an active member. Shout out to Peacha for being an amazing instructor & Lacin for always being supportive and motivating. Pole is definitely a sport. It works and engages muscles that I've been struggling to target on my own, while having a great time. This definitely works on your mental health too as you have to have the right mindset to do the exercise. Since joining I've noticed more strength in my abs & upper body and an increase in my flexibility. Things that I'd never imagined myself doing & with my body type I am doing ! It's really awesome & rewarding. What's great about MPF is their variety in classes. If you want fitness, join the pole fitness classes. If you want sexy & fun do gentle pole or a chair dance. They also have holiday themed classes and pop ups. So much to offer from a woman owned business with a supporting and uplifting community! read more

I've recently had my first ever pole class in this studio and I truly loved it. This is such a fun class, it mixes stretching, dancing and core strength all together. I've been doing yoga for years, and never thought I could do this but I was somewhat ok for a beginner class. This was a private class with the owner and the instructor Lacin and she was also fantastic. She has a very positive vibe and is very motivating. She knows what she is doing, she breaks down the poses, provides levels for beginners and explains which muscle groups are used. I truly enjoyed the class and I would certainly do it again. I also loved that they support other women business owners. Such a cool, positive and collaborative vibe. I highly recommend it! read more

I started my pole journey here a year ago with the 6-Week Absolute Beginner program and have fallen absolutely in love with pole! Since then I have taken several different programs and drop in classes weekly, if not multiple times a week! There is really something for everyone from pole heels to lollipop lyra. What makes Magnetic special is the community of people - the owner, instructors, front desk and students alike. We are cheerleaders for each other's wins in pole and outside of pole. I've gotten so much stronger and more confident since starting my dance journey at Magnetic and won't stop coming back to work towards my new goals. At this point, it feels like a second home, I love Magnetic! read more

The Magnetic Pole Fit community is one that is absolutely worth checking out. I originally found this studio by just simply googling "pole dancing" and taking a big step by registering for my first class! Since then, Lacin has helped me discover and trust my body to flow on the pole. I've worked out at the gym for years but never have I felt as strong as now. Jody has also contributed so much to my pole journey. They are well-versed in the muscle anatomy to help you move the correct way, and they also put you through conditioning that will help you prevent injury (SUPER NECESSARY!). I would really not be where I'm at in my pole journey if it wasn't for Jody. The studio offers classes for every level and every interest! From sexy chair dancing to active flexibility to spin pole, Magnetic Pole Fit offers so much! If you're hesitant to give pole dancing a try, just do a drop in for an L1 class and see for yourself :) read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been wanting to attend a pole class for a while now and finally took the plunge last month! I've attended about 4 L1 classes so far and it's so much fun! Lacin is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. The class size is 5 people max (1 person to each pole) so she is able to keep her eye on everyone and make sure you're using proper form to avoid injury. Even though it is Level 1, there are some people who may be farther along and there are some who are complete beginners, and she is able to give everyone instructions based on their skill level. If you're looking for a fun way to work out and get stronger I definitely recommend coming here! read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

I started the MPF 6-week Beginners Program with zero pole experience, and now I'm spinning and inverting with confidence! Lacin and her team are genuinely invested in their student's individual goals, tailoring each class to be both challenging and comfortable. Whether it's strength, flexibility, dance, or something else - MPF will meet you where you are and help you get to where you're headed! I especially love that this community represents people of all ages, levels, abilities, shapes and backgrounds. I've made so many beautiful friends throughout my 6 months here, and I can't wait to see where my pole journey leads me next!! read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Learning leg hangs for the first time! - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

My instructor was great. However, I have to give Magnetic Pole Fit 3 stars overall because of how their studio is set up. They use stage poles so the poles don't go all the way to the ceiling so the height of the poles are quite short which limits the combos that can be done. They also are lacking mirrors so not all students can see what they look like while doing tricks. There are only a few, thin small short mirrors. This pole studio is also one of the most expensive in the area which I can't justify the price for considering the reasons above, which is unfortunate because this studio is the closest to my home. read more

After a variety of classes over 4 months, this studio has contributed to my overall 15lb weight loss (with active lifestyle + healthy diet). The space is welcoming & energetic, sometimes calming & meditative. Everyone is supportive & encourages creativity. The chair dance series was my personal favorite, built up a lot of confidence over 6 weeks. I've learned a lot of self-love & am truly addicted to how empowered I feel now. If you're willing to learn & work hard, you won't regret it. read more

I started my pole journey around 10 months ago, and while this review is long overdue, I realized early on that this is my happy place. After a long workday, this class leaves me feeling fresh, empowered, confident, fit, and strong, all in a very very comfortable environment. Despite having no dance or fitness background, I'm amazed at how the process & teaching techniques here helps everyone make progress, whether it's mastering climbs or working on the more dance-oriented choreography. The instructors are incredibly supportive and guide you through each move, celebrating even the smallest successes. I highly recommend anyone to begin their pole journey--it's a truly fulfilling experience and it is never too late! read more

I had my first class today and it was awesome!! Very clean and small class and the instructor was very patient! I highly recommend this studio! read more

They have many great programs and classes for all levels, especially for newbies, and the space is nice and cozy. Highly recommended for fun and fitness! read more

What I like about this studio : - small class size, giving you more individual attention - Lacin is a fantastic pole instructor! She's friendly, knowledgeable, supportive, and gives helpful feedback. She adapts and modifies moves at a pace that suits you. - easy and spacious parking next to the building If you're even just a little curious what it's like to twirl around a pole, I highly recommend taking a class at Magnetic Pole Fit. I've been wanting to try pole for a while and am glad I finally started. I love to challenge my body and moving on the pole did just that, activating muscles I don't normally use. I don't think my upper body has ever been as sore as it felt after my first pole class! In addition to the fitness benefits, it gives me an avenue to express myself in a way I don't normally get to. The pole fit class begins with a warmup before going into the pole moves, then ends with a cool down. I've been taking Pole Fit Lvl 1 classes for about two months now and I'm very excited to see how I progress. read more

I am so happy to have found this studio! I had been wanting to get back into dancing for a while and had always wanted to try pole. I signed up for their six week beginner pole series and I haven't looked back! The series was a lot of fun. I felt I learned a wide variety of moves in just a short amount of time. Our instructor Peacha was very kind and positive and our cohort was really supportive of one another. Besides the series I have also taken quite a number of drop in classes like their chair dancing classes or their gentle pole classes. They even did a one shot Reggaton dance class which I hope they bring back! The owner Lacin is such a lovely positive person and great to work with! I am so happy with the variety this studio has to offer and am looking forward to continuing to improve my dance skills! read more

Love this studio and the people there!!! I came as a beginner and felt so welcomed and comfortable at the L1 classes. Jody is awesome! They are super encouraging and the owner Lacin is so sweet and helpful! Definitely recommend coming here if you are wanting to try out pole :) read more

I've been going to Magnetic Pole Fit for 6 months now. I've tried other pole studios before; but, I always felt a bit intimidated as a beginner. When I came to Magnetic Pole Fit, all of the teachers were truly inspirational which motivated me to keep going. I never felt shamed or embarrassed for not knowing how to do something. The teachers will guide you through each step no matter how many times you ask, "can I see that trick one more time?" Now after 6 months, I can see physical results in myself that would have never happened if I quit going. I'm leaner, I have more defined muscles, and I have strength that I didn't even know was humanly possible. My fitness journey has just begun and it's all thanks to Magnetic Pole Fit for empowering their students to achieve their fitness goals. read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - This pose is called "twisted sister". - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

I haven't been to other studios, but what I can say about MPF is that it is a truly special space. I get the sense that people feel safe here. They are able to channel and express a very different part of themselves--and without judgment or fear. Above all things, the MPF community is so welcoming and supportive. I know that I feel empowered when I am learning in this space. By the end of class, I am spiritually, emotionally and physically enriched and in total alignment with my mind and body. The instructors all have their own style and they leave plenty of room for you to find yours. Lacin, the studio owner and director is truly a gem. She is warm, yet knows how to get you out of your comfort zone and doing things you didn't realize you were capable of accomplishing. She is also pursuing an MFA in dance and somatic movements. She has a profound understanding of motion, body, and choreography. She blends all this and her global citizenship into one unique expression that is Magnetic Pole Fit. So if you want more than just pole tricks and looking sexy, this is the studio for you. You will learn how to reorganize your body, you will work with professional instructors who understand and respect whatever level of pole you are at, and you will be amongst an amazing community of likeminded individuals. *I have been taking classes at MPF since November 2019. I love gentle pole and Lacin's occasional contemporary pole class. read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

Hands down the best decision I've made was to take my first pole class here. Lacin, the instructor and owner of MPF, is the kindest person ever and the biggest cheerleader to her students. She takes the time to really stop and help you gets the moves down; it's like it is a goal of hers to see you doing well. Shes so encouraging, even when I feel like im not doing as well as i want to. My favorite thing she says to us during class is "Youre not trying, YOURE DOING!" And it pushes me to always come back. Since then Ive taken so many of my friends with me to pole classes and we always have a blast. Ive taken one class with the other instructor, Jody, for spin pole and she's amazing too. Watching them execute the moves always has me in awe read more

I discovered Magnetic Pole Fit about 5 months ago and I am so grateful that I did. Before I joined I didn't have a hobby and struggled to exercise regularly. I fell in love with pole from the moment I started. Every week I learn something new, challenge myself, and see improvements. I am so much stronger and have much more energy than I had before. As of now I have lost 10 pounds and gained beautiful muscles! The owner Lacin and the other instructors are extremely professional and provide never ending support. They are always there to help you no matter what level you are. The studio is a beautiful community of kind people who uplift one another. I always feel comfortable and welcomed. Pole fitness/dancing is one of the best decisions I've made for myself. I cannot wait to see how much I can learn in the months to come. read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

So I started taking classes at MPF in the beginning of September, and now I'm addicted and can't stop! Here's a brief overview of all the great things I have to say about this studio: 1) The owner/instructor Lacin is extremely supportive and encouraging, but also pushes you to achieve your potential in a constructive way. 2) The studio is inclusive of all body types, yay! Lacin treats everyone, exactly the same. 3) Everyone I've ever met here is very nice, and it's great to be part of a community that uplifts, and cheers each other on through our journeys. It's now mid-October as I'm writing this, so about a month and a half since I started coming here, and I am very happy with the results so far-not only in terms of physical appearance, but I also feel much stronger, more energetic, and confident because I'm doing all these things I never thought my body could do. Currently I have the unlimited package, and come to the studio 4-5 times a week to take a combination of gentle pole, pole fit L1, and flexibility classes, as well as practice on my own during open pole studio hours, and I would highly recommend taking some combination of those classes if you do sign up for unlimited. Anyway, overall I am very happy with my experience so far, so for anyone who is hesitant about trying pole fitness here, I say just go for it, you won't regret it :) read more

Magnetic Pole Fit - Thank you Lacin for your guidance and mentorship! Major milestone reached on 11/11/19 - Pole Dancing Classes Near Me - San Jose, California

Amazing pole rental! I loved it because the stability comes from the bottom, instead of having to screw into the ceiling! I loved how the pole is portable! Traveling with the pole was very easy and the owner was so sweet! Just make sure if your ceiling makes the height requirement! The short extension covers 9 ft and the long/regular extension covers 10 ft. Extremely happy with Magnetic Pole Fit! read more

Been going to a couple classes at magnetic pole ! Not going to lie coming to my first class was a bit of an edge for me. "You are a mom, you can't twirl on the pole" "You are too heavy" "Not flexible" I tend to resonate with my more nurturing mother aspect of divine feminine energy. Thank you @magneticpolefitca for creating a safe space for me to explore my sensuality. YES mommas we can still be BOTH nurturing momma and SENSUAL, SEXY, and SEDUCTIVE at the same time. Thank you Lacin for that reminder read more

I love working with Lacin! I've been doing her private classes and L2/L3 for about three weeks. I've been poling for about a year and she's helping me progress quickly. Her new studio has two poles in an art warehouse building . The parking is easy and it's easy to call her so she can let you in. The small space currently allows her to give you a lot more attention than a bigger studio. She is so sweet and fun to work with and she pushes you just enough to challenge you but you still feel safe with her spotting and attention. Her feedback is really "on point" to target what you need to correct quickly. Overall, it's an amazing value and I look forward to continue working with her to progress quickly in my pole journey! read more

Lacin and her instructors are incredibly knowledgeable about all things movement! I took a class that tested my strength and mobility to its full extent... I was so sore the next day and it was awesome! I felt empowered both physically and mentally, being surrounded by wonderful people of all skill levels. I would highly recommend this studio for a fun and full body workout! read more

I attended the 6 week beginners pole program and it was absolutely amazing. In the beginning of this class I was easing back into regular exercise and this class was perfect for that. Lacin is incredibly patient but also pushed me past my mental limitations. The environment in her studio is very warm and welcoming and I felt very comfortable taking pole there. At the end of class I was stronger and could do moves I never thought I would be able to do. I am a first time mom and my body changed a lot after my pregnancy and this class helped me reconnect with my body. I would definitely recommend this studio for anyone interested in pole. read more

I received a warm welcome from Lacin and the beautiful studios at Magnetic Pole Fit! I have been eyeballing this place as I follow this studio through social media on Instagram and FB! On one of my available weekends, I noticed there was a workshop offered and that I would try it since I was still rehabbing my ankle. This was the perfect fit for me! These studios are super clean and organized! And I received A+ service when I had called the day before to ask about the workshop! I attended the Acro Pole and Flow Workshop! What a treat! I'm pretty sure all of the workshops are pretty awesome like what I experienced! If and when I have time, I would like to attend a regular pole fitness class and hoping my friends won't be so scared to get down with the pole! This place rocks!! read more

Lacin is a very kind and enthusiastic instructor. She is very professional and has a background in dance. She is patient and very kind so I felt super comfortable when attending the class for the first time! I'm a complete beginner. My preference in pole is more on the fitness aspect as well as being graceful in dance. The studio appears to cater to both. If you have similar tastes as me, I highly recommend this environment! I also had trouble signing up for more classes and got helped on the same day through email! Helpful Tips for going in the first time: 1)Studio is inside the Genesis Fitness Studios (Sign-in the front) 2)Try to be there early to find good street parking nearby (I prefer to get to my car right away when dark) read more

Starry eyed and nervous, I walked into the studio and began my bucket list wish of starting pole 3 months ago. All the instructors, and I mean all (Lacin, Jody, and Ellen) harbor all the core elements needed for teaching art: passion, joy, kindness, and above all, an unwavering sense of community. Each instructor makes their student feel heard and helped gently. There is zero judgment from other classmates, and the best part is that everyone cheers you on. Each class gives you the chance to get in tune with your body and feel the muscles getting stronger. The intro to pole series gives a great foundation into the pole world. In a course of 6 dedicated weeks, one can learn how to do simple spins, sits, and climbs up to the top (which, to my surprise, I was able to do eventually). If you're nervous about pole, start with this!! Overall, the price is worth the time, energy, and love that this studio embodies. If you give this journey time, energy, and love too, no one can stop you either. Make the dream a reality, and come over and dance! Cheering you on!! read more

Wonderful staff that is patient, understanding, and technical. I started my pole journey here without any gym or fitness experience and I'm proud of how far I've come in just 6 months. I feel more confident, stronger, and capable than ever and it's all thanks to Magnetic Pole Fit. The instructors each have a wealth of knowledge and do a great job of challenging each student in a way where the class grows together. I have recommended this studio to everyone I know. Love it here! Keep up the good work, Magnetic Pole Fit! read more

I started my pole journey nearly six months ago taking the 6 week program for beginners with Peacha. I had very little previous dance experience or flexibility whatsoever. Peacha is such an amazing instructor and really went in depth with the basics and made sure no one was left behind. I continued to the 6 week program for advanced beginners after that and then continued with drop in classes from there. Lacin, the owner is so caring for all of the students here and personally meets with them to get an understanding of their skills and which classes would help us excel the most. I've learned so many tricks here while building my strength and flexibility that I never would have thought I'd be able to achieve. I've also built a sense of community here with all of the instructors and students. Walking into MPF every time, it's clear that the instructors truly care about their students and strive to build that personal connection, which I haven't experienced in many other fitness studios. I highly recommend taking classes at magnetic pole fit if you're looking to try something new and meet some amazing people! read more

It will be a year in August since joining MPF. I joined to learn a new skill and make friends, and I continue to make the 2 hour drive to see my pole sisters as we take time for ourselves. The 70 minute classes really make the drive time worth it. Here are classes I've taken: 6week beginner - highly recommend for first timers. The owner, Lacin, taught my cohort. She is a hardworking and bubbly intellectual who genuinely enjoys teaching. She continually pushes is to be our best while also teaching us to work safely within our limits. L1 and L1.5 - taught by Lacin and Ellen. Ellen never fails to make me laugh as hard as she makes me sweat... anytime i book a class with her I know that I'll be challenged and have lots of fun. She can teach any level, and her vibe is so cool and sassy. If a cat could pole dance, it would be her. The conditioning she has taught me has really improved my posture and pole experience. She's open to teaching combos and poses that we bring to her, and she will add her own beautiful style to it. I love watching Ellen dance, and I love being her student. Spin L1/flow - taught by Jody. I have a special place in my heart for Jody. They're quiet, funny, and enjoys challenging us and helping us safely push our limits. I have an old injury that Jody has been able to coach me through into cupids bow and figure head. Their classes are always so much fun! The warm ups and conditioning that they have us do is incredibly helpful. Active flexibility- taught by Jody. A mix of pilates, yoga, and as many push ups as Jody feels like that day. Great workout, highly recommend to anyone. Lollipop - also taught by Jody - this class makes me feel like I'm 7yo at the playground. It's so fun! I've only done two classes, and am already really proud of what I accomplished. Magnetic is a happy place for me. My pole sisters leave their egos at the door, and we all just have a great time learning new skills. Everyone learns at their own pace and that's totally fine at magnetic. All the instructors are really nice people who just want to be there and have fun with us too. I performed in the showcase in April, and kind of messed up the whole thing from nerves, and was never made to be embarrassed. Everyone was just happy that I tried, and I look forward to the next one. Xoxo Samy read more
