Hotworx was my favorite place to go for stress relief, detoxing, alone time after work and weekend peace. Now, I have to make myself go because I am paying for the membership and feel guilty if I don't go. It all has to do with the staff. I'm completely surprised by the way the owners have allowed this new manager to create social media with her tatas out every time she posts something. The content she puts out is just distasteful and her husband in every video- it's very off putting and not "on brand". It reflects poorly on the company. The other young man is social awkward and I don't feel comfortable with him. He doesn't know how to interact with people, he bombards new signees the minute they walk out of the sauna, right in the middle of the isle and immediately asks what membership they want? What a turn off! Yet, if he is close to his lunch hour or it's too soon to closing time and someone new wants to sign up, he tells them he's off and to come back tomorrow. I, personally, have never felt comfortable with him being there if I'm alone at the studio because of his awkward presence, lack of knowledge and social skills. I don't know how a business has gone through so many different employees in such a short period. Additionally, this new staff doesn't seem to have the work ethic to clean and maintain the same level of sanitation that the previous staff has always done. I've only seen them sit or stand at the front desk. I've had to clean broken toenails out of my sauna AND I had left my sweater in a cubby for a week and no one had noticed it!

In 2012 I desperately needed a new outlet for stress, and an activity or hobby that I could do on…read moremy own. I was slightly firmilar with pole fitness and thought it would be fun to try out. I called The Toy Box and the spoke with the owner. She invited me to the studio the following week to try out a class & ask all the questions I needed. When I arrived I was greeted by the owner who instructs all the classes. The other women in the class greeted me too, and they all were encouraging and welcoming. The prices for classes were affordable. I signed up for 4 classes a month (once a week). That was 2 years ago and I still look forward to going to my weekly class at the Toy Box. You can sign up for multiple classes a week. The studio does not have windows and is private. Students are on their own pole for the whole hour. Classes are limted to 7 students Due to small classes the instructor is able to provide one on one instruction. Classes focus on teaching the sport of pole dance with a focus on acrobatics on a verticle pole. Individual instruction is given based on a students level: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The instructor and other students are encouraging. The other women in the classes are fun supportive and at times silly. I had hardly no upper body strength and absolutely no formal dance or gynamstic ability when I walked into the studio my first day. The instructor started me with the basics, gave me tips on what I was doing in error and making moves more difficult for myself, and encouraged me. Through pole fitness I gained muscle tone, strenght, flexibility, confidence (it feels incredible when you are able to master a challenging move and do combos). I also gained friends and a sense of empowerment. The studio has offered special event workshops that are in addition to classes for students who are interested. These workshops are at the Toy Box and hosted by Pole Fitness Champions. The most recent being Veronica Solimano and Natasha Wang (have you youtubed these women, wow!). The classes here are great for anyone who wants to learn pole fitness, improve skills they may already have and be in a supportive fun enviornment.

My stars are lowering even more because the owner cannot take criticism well based on my review. Now she is claiming that I had never taken a class with her. My original review was how I felt and how I still do feel about my experience with Kristen and her ToyGarage as a paying customer. Do not let her fool you into the whole "pity me, everyone is out to get me" act. Also, if you do decide to check it out. Do not join the "dance team." She will try to get you to buy matching lingerie with everyone so she can make more of a profit off of you. Not to mention, not everyone is very comfortable wearing lingerie at public events! This is suppose to be a sport... not a strip club :)

I went to a few classes, they were ok. But The owner Sold me some eyelash growth product that I…read morereacted to and I returned it within the month as she said I could. She told me I could use it for class credit or get the money back. I planned to return to a class but then I broke my back. When I got back to her she told me it was too late for either. She had not said there was a time factor or I would have just got my money back. But the worst part was she was unkind and showed no concern about what I had been through. So I would say do NOT trust your body and health with this kind of person.

I have so much love for Core I hardly know where to begin. I started going here about a year ago…read moreand am now fully addicted. First of all, the owners, Patrick and Crystal, are just about the nicest people ever, and they definitely know their stuff and have a passion for their business. The studio is built around private sessions--before you can sign up for classes you must go through 1 or 2 private sessions with one of the instructors. Some people might be uncomfortable with this, but it helps to ensure that when you're in class you're actually doing the moves correctly and that the instructor can tailor some of the moves to suit you. Their classes also rarely have more than 3 or 4 people, which means you get plenty of personal attention. They work on a points system, in which you buy a package of points and then sign up for classes of varying point amounts. It can get a bit pricey, and is probably a good bit more than your run-of-the-mill chain gym, but the personal service is well worth it. After just a few classes the instructors and other customers begin to feel like a family and the overall atmosphere is extremely positive. This is the first workout program I've ever managed to stay on for any length of time, and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon! Edit: I forgot to add that they have a very convenient online system for purchasing points and signing up for classes.
