Angela is AWESOME! She has such a unique way of connecting with all her students at one time that…read moreit feels like it's just you and her, even if there are others with your class. She is very professional and gives you the freedom to be as creative and sexy as you want. She doesn't make you feel pressured to be a certain way, so if you wanted to, you could be goofy, sexy, graceful, etc. How you interpret pole is exactly that, your interpretation. She's on time, organized, and really friendly. This isn't just a regular aerobics class. The moves you do are more suggestive and require more athletic ability than you think. It would be really nerve racking for anyone who's just starting out or not comfortable enough with themselves to just strut their stuff on the pole right away, but Angela helps ease that tension. She's got a really cute little studio in her living room with 5 poles. They are all perfectly spaced and she's got sexy lighting and mirrors in their too. Seriously, it's just this awesome girl room where you can just let your freak flag fly! I'll rave about Pole Velocity all day. Had my first class week and was feeling hesitant about how it would go, but Angela is great. She's got credibility, experience, and a nice little set up that makes you feel comfortable there. Plus, she's got these cute fluffy cats that chill out and watch you dance which is hilarious. Love the class, love the prices, love the environment. Great!!! UPDATE 5/30/2014 A year and a half later and I am still going here. Angela is wonderful. She is an excellent teacher and I have learned so much. I have my own pole now and I still take classes because I can always use a little instruction. Her aerial fit class is so much fun. She hosts little "open house" parties for her students so we can all hang out and dance, see each others progress. it's so much fun here! a nice little family.

Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because I actually enjoyed the class I was taking there (stretching…read morewith Linnea) and would have kept going had the administrative staff not treated me like crap. Aloft uses an online platform called VAMP for students to sign up for classes, manage payments, and more. I used to email them to let them know when I would be absent but then noticed on the dashboard that there is a "Manage Absences" button on the online account dashboard. In an effort to be respectful of their time I began using it to log my planned absences instead. I felt bad for having wasted the administrative staff's time before I had made this discovery of a seemingly more streamlined way to record my absences. But after a few months of using the "Manage Absences" button on my account dashboard, I noticed I hadn't received any makeup credits. This amounted to about ~$120 in class credits I should have received, but didn't. I emailed Sarah Tapper, the person who handles this stuff, and she responded with the lifeless and cold bedside manner of an animated machine, not offering any help whatsoever and instead just recited company policies to me without offering any solutions or even partial credit. (I've included all of the emails with this review but Yelp puts them out of order which makes it hard to follow, so I've numbered them to try to make it easier.) She basically told me that despite my efforts to be respectful of her time, Aloft was keeping my ~$120. Any other business would see that what I did by using a button that was clearly labeled "Manage Absences" to *MANAGE* my *ABSENCES* is an easy mistake to make and would have credited me back for the absences I logged but also informed me that going forward I was to do things following their weird old-fashioned protocol that makes you feel like you're back in the dial-up days of the internet, which I'll outline below: At Aloft, you are not to log planned absences in the streamlined account dashboard. That would be too simple and modern. INSTEAD, you have to email back and forth with Sarah Tapper about any planned absences AND log them into the account dashboard. (According to Sarah, logging absences in the account dashboard helps instructors know who will show up and emailing Sarah ahead of time is what gets you the credits, which seems like it just creates a lot more unnecessary work for everyone). It's like this place is run by the same people running the DMV or something. Like they've been doing things the same way since they first opened over a decade ago and are holding their own customers at fault for daring to assume they would be utilizing the very platform they have for literally everything else (registering for classes, managing payments, you name it) to also be able to manage absences and get credit for makeups. Why do things the hard way when you can just cut out all this extra work and make things simple for everyone? And why was I treated with the same understanding and compassion as a protagonist in a Kafka story? I was literally just trying to be respectful of Sarah's time and was instead met with zero compassion. In initial emails with her I was very respectful and understanding and offered to do things in Aloft's weird roundabout way going forward, but would like my previous planned absences credited back to me. She just responded with company policies and not lifting a single finger to help me with my ~$120 that was now just spinning down the drain. So then I got upset and informed her that I would be writing reviews about this experience to warn others as well as reporting them to the BBB because they had taken my money and weren't giving it back despite my logging my absences (albeit not in *exactly* the way they wanted them to be logged). I never called anyone names -- but I did express my frustration about the complete lack of understanding and absolute unwillingness to bend even a little bit for a good customer who had referred others to their business and had been going there for half a year and intended to keep going. It's not like there's an elaborate enigmatic code that Sarah would have to crack that absolutely prevents them from helping me--they just didn't WANT to help me, despite the fact that I only got into this situation because *I* was trying to help *them* out! Finally, the owner decided to get involved and did in fact refund most of my ~$120 back to me but said that it was best if I didn't attend classes there going forward and I agree. I don't appreciate how I was treated--punished for the crime of mistakenly trying to do something nice for someone.

Aloft has been like a second home to me. The coaches are always welcoming and encouraging and always pushing you to succeed.

I highly recommend Aloft to everyone regardless of abilities and if you're not interested in training, Aloft always puts on amazing shows.

The studio is adorable, she loved the tiny door to enter through to start class...45 minutes of spinning, jumping on her toes, dancing to different songs was pure joy for her and pure joy for me to watch! They incorporated a lot of different props from feather boa's, tiny rabbits, a cute cat costume with ears and ended with a story book and stretches. The instructor was patient, sweet and obviously had experience with small children. I highly recommend this studio for your tiny dancer!

My 2.5 year old has been attending the toddler class and loves it! The space is absolutely…read moreadorable and the teacher, Miss Alaina, is so great with the kids and leading them through the class. My daughter's listening skills improved as soon as she started taking this class. Following directions and doing everything the teacher asked was difficult for her at first but now she listens to the teacher and follows along with what everyone is doing. I really like the structure of the class as it helps keep the kids attention and it always goes by quickly. There are also very safe COVID measures in place. The class only has a handful of kids in it and everyone, including the kids, has to wear a face mask. Hand sanitizer is provided for everyone to use prior to beginning and every single prop that the kids use is then placed into a special bin afterward so that it can be cleaned. Social distancing is also easy with the large space and low capacity. My toddler also became much better at wearing her mask (and keeping it on) because of this class. And if nothing else, the precious pictures of your kid doing ballet in this cute ballet studio are worth signing up for. :)

I booked this session through ClassPass, and the class was canceled after the doors were already…read morescheduled to open. I understand that transportation issues can happen, but it's unlikely the instructor found out at the exact last minute. This was very disappointing, and it doesn't seem like a viable option for me going forward. On top of that, the cancellation came by email with no apology, just a note to "stay warm," which felt dismissive. I'm disappointed with how this situation was handled and hope this can be addressed more professionally in the future for other customers. Update: The manager responded and offered free classes after I replied to their initial cancellation email. An apology was not provided until after I mentioned that the situation felt unprofessional. If I did not provide feedback, there would have been no additional interaction. She also noted that the instructor arrived around the class start time, and I am not sure whether that was meant to suggest that I should have waited despite receiving a cancellation notice. My phone number is listed in my ClassPass profile, however, I cannot control what information the business is able to access on their end. I understand that transportation issues happen. I understand that weather can be a factor. For example, in order for me to make the class, I also had to clean off my car and shovel. If I had cancelled, and they were open, I most likely would've been charged a fee. I was frustrated that an apology was not initially offered. That simple gesture of acknowledgment shows that you respect the time and effort of others. I did not respond to their follow-up emails because I do not plan to take classes there. The delayed apology and the way the situation was handled overall do not align with the type of interactions I look for in a business. Overall, I just did not appreciate the tone of our interaction, and free classes does not make up for that. I've been appropriately refunded and there is no other action for the business to take on their end regarding me. Stay Warm.
