TwirlnShape is a hidden gem--and it has completely changed how I see myself. Seriously…read more I came in with zero dance background, just curiosity and a deep need to reconnect with my body. Since starting in March, my strength and flexibility have transformed. I can do things now I never thought were possible--moves that felt impossible in class three are part of my warm-up. My posture is stronger, my core is engaged, and I walk through life a little taller. Literally and emotionally. But the magic here isn't just physical--it's in the people. Black Garnet (Tash) and Kitty are absolutely amazing. All of the teachers are real, grounded, funny, and warm. They meet you exactly where you are. There's no pressure to perform or look a certain way--just encouragement to move, to try, to reclaim something for yourself. Yes, it's sometimes hard, but that's okay! The space itself is gorgeous: mirrored walls and soft lighting that are perfect for dance but still feel intimate--not exposed. You feel seen without being put on display. And the pricing? Phenomenal. Your first five classes are just $90--that's not a huge investment, and it's only a few hours of your time to start shifting how you feel in your body. If you're even slightly curious, it's so worth it. TwirlnShape isn't just a dance studio. It's a sanctuary. It's where misfits, moms, and anyone craving movement without judgment go to remember who they are. Take the class. You don't have to be ready. Just show up. You'll leave feeling more like yourself than when you walked in.

I love it here. It started as a fun thing to do once and became my happy place. The instructors are…read moreall so welcoming and supportive. I've never enjoyed breaking into a sweat so much! There are sexy chair or floor classes, Lyra, relaxing stretch classes, yoga with silks, and beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes in pole. There's absolutely something for everyone to try or master. Explore pole fitness and surprise yourself. Some tips for first timers: - **Don't wear lotion or oils for at least 6 hours before.** (You don't want to be slipping all over the place. I honestly try not to use any all day if I can.) -**No jewelry. Rings, watches or bracelets.** (It scratches up the metal pole and damages it. Plus you don't want to be fiddling with clasps when every one is waiting on you to start OR starting without you. ) - **Skin is in!** It's a good idea to wear short shorts and tank tops under your outside clothes or LESS. (More skin exposure helps with pole contact points.) - **Arrive on time for class or at least 5 minutes early.** (You want to be able to pick your pole. It's important to warm up with your instructor. Plus, you don't want to have to play catch up.) - **Bring a friend.** (It's so much fun I just have to share it. We laugh, get sexy, look great, and learn something new together.) - **Give yourself some grace.** (Pole has so many levels. If you don't get a move the first time, try, try again. I know it sounds like BS, but it's a pole you're doing tricks on. It's not as easy as it looks, but BABY, the muscle you build afterwards is so nice. Plus, at the end of the day, it's always going to be based on what you put into it as well.) - **Bring socks, make sure your phone is charged, and bring water!** (Socks are NEEDED! Your feet will thank you. Some folks graduate or invest in pleasers after they fall in love with pole. Phone charged cause you will learn a routine and want to record it and see your growth. Hydration is obvious. IJS. ) - **Check the studio's website for promotions, especially for new folks.** (I did a holiday package back in 2022 and now I can't stop won't stop.) - **Don't worry about what someone else is doing in your class.** (Pole is about YOUR journey. Of course, you want to keep up, but you don't know someone else's journey. Some folks walk in and will do a trick on their first try that you've been trying to do for months. It is what it is, and we have different strengths in different places. Have fun and if you want to master a trick/move, keep at it.)

This may have been the first, but first doesn't often equal best. Many of the ratings are first…read moreimpressions but after attending the studio for approx 1.5 years, I can confidently say that you will not reap the value of your $190 per month membership. Buy the deal packages if anything. Yes it's convenient but now that I'm at a different studio, I know the drive is worth it. Inconsistent quality of instruction, shoddy equipment that has caused injuries, shady downtime and schedules where you lose at least a month of membership throughout the course of a year (summer maintenance shutdown, series cancellations with no level equal backfill classes, etc) and deeply disappointing and disrespectful leadership who focuses on income sprints vs loyal membership and good communication. A business coach should know the cost of client acquisition is at least 6x higher than the cost of retention; teaching hundreds of thousands of students isn't a flex in boutique fitness unless you have a large, multi-location business. I've heard other horror stories I won't express here. As a client, you won't initially feel it, but as you go on you'll notice that you're treated as ignorant and as if you don't understand business and what clients want.

The community is great with the other students as well. They're super supportive, and encouraging. Class wise: - if you get an opportunity to take SLAP with Ava, absolutely do it! Don't walk, run!! She is soo sweet and each class is like an adventure where we get to try new things and build off of previous things we've learned in class as well! It's never boring, and her music is on point! Also, the chair work, floor work, and gloves are chef's kiss! It was a challenge for me to really lean into my feminine energy, and she made it possible for me to do that! I adore her soo much, and I appreciate how comfortable she's made me feel. - if you see any spin classes with Jennifer that are open, run to register as well! She is extremely supportive, and I've been raving about her class and teaching style since I got in with her. She also focuses on some great stretches and body warm ups at the beginning of class to ensure that you're good and ready. - if you don't know of Red yet, you will! Run to her classes as well! I've been in her Bae'B Stripper series, and whew this class almost gave me a run for my money, but I look forward to every Monday with her and the girls! She's an amazing teacher, and I appreciate the energy she brings! She's gone put you to work, but you're gonna feel amazing after/during, and for sure sleep well lmao! And don't forget about her splits classes! I still have to attend more of those, but for the class that I did attend, those stretches were great!

It felt like I walked into a class that had started weeks ago and I was way behind. There was little instruction on how to do certain moves or twirling. It felt as if there was an assumption I had a background in dance even though this was supposed to be a beginners class. The instructor also was giving off a vibe like we shouldn't have been there and that we were annoying. She also had an attitude and made snarky remarks about our ability to catch onto the choreography. I thought the class was a fun experience to try but the environment was not very welcoming for people new to pole and people without a dance background.

I've taken a few twerk and poll dance classes but for the others in my group this was there first time.

Prestige was patient and taught us the routine step by step when we weren't 100% she encouraged us to keep going. The Studio was clean,organized and very spacious. By the end of the class, she felt like one of the girls in our crew. I will definitely return to take classes with Prestige and for me it will be the poll classes.. for strictly exercise purposes only. lol

I'm 270lbs, and have gone through a really long journey to learn to love the body that I'm in, so the weight loss culture that exists in gyms and workout studios really isn't for me. Enter Closet Poler!! I live in Atlanta, and there are plenty of studios that are closer to me, but it was 100% worth the drive down to Newnan for their Intro to Pole class. January(Crimson Goddess) is a phenomenal teacher. She started the lesson with some great affirmations about loving our bodies, and stressed that every body is different, and that we shouldn't get caught up trying to make our bodies do what other peoples bodies do. During class I was deeply thankful for January's detailed instructions, and how she would break down each thing we learned into it's essential movements, and how she took the time to go over things more than once if I was having trouble following. I really loved how she encouraged us to be our sexiest selves, both verbally, and by example. By the end of the class I was doing things that I never thought I'd do, and it was only my first class!! I can't express how amazing it was to really work my body and muscles in a place where I didn't feel like I was being judged at all. I will absolutely be coming back to Closet Poler when my schedule allows, and I'll definitely be recommending it to friends!! Can't wait for my next class!

It began at 7pm and the class was 1 hour long. The building is a bit hidden from the main road but is off of Peachtree Industrial Blvd in Suwanee. Maggie was absolutely phenomenal. I had to speak to her on the phone because I had some trouble signing up for the class and she helped me so much and was so patient. She greeted us when we came in and made me feel so comfortable. The class had 4 people. There were 2 silks with mats set up in the center of the room. (Maggie mentioned that she recently ordered 2 more mats so she can have 2 more silks set up). The room was pretty big but because there were 4 of us, it was intimate and not as intimidating. Because it's a beginners class, there needs to be a lot of help from Maggie to show and spot, so I can imagine- the smaller the class the better ! We started off warming up with various stretches. I loved how quickly she moved from one stretch to another. It was a really good warm up. Haha. I broke a sweat from that alone. Then, we paired up on the mat and Maggie showed us one move/pose and we'd try. We were able to try a lot of different poses. Overall, it was a GREAT workout from head to toe. The arms, core, glutes, legs. I usually don't get sore until 2 days after working out but I'm already feeling it as I walked out of the class. Very good experience and workout!
