I've been coming to Xpose for 2.5 years now, and I still remember how nervous I was walking into the studio for the first time. That nervousness disappeared instantly thanks to the warm welcome I received at the front desk. As someone who's a bit older, I wondered if I'd feel out of place--but age has never been a factor here. The environment is inclusive, supportive, and empowering. I've taken classes with every instructor, and not once have I had a bad experience. Each one brings their own unique energy, style, and creativity to class. The choreography is consistently fun and challenging, and the music always hits. No two classes are the same, which keeps things exciting and fresh. Every time I leave class, I feel stronger, more confident, and completely empowered. I'm not the same person I was when I first walked in over two years ago. I'm completely obsessed with pole now, and I owe it all to Xpose for helping me discover that passion--and for giving me the space to grow into the person I am today. read more

Today I attended Leslie floor/chair class. I've had her as an instructor before when taking other classes here. She is a funny, welcoming, supportive encouraging instructor. I purposely look for her classes when scheduling my class online. I feel very welcome, and I learn more and more each time I attend classes this studio. Thank you Joan for welcoming me. I look forward to more classes in the future. read more

I was reluctant to write a review because this is an extremely difficult time for local businesses. However, in light of COVID, any concerns with COVID precautions should be made known to anyone who goes to Xpose. SUMMARY: After three trips to Xpose, my takeaways are that I feel (1) unsafe with its COVID precautions, and (2) uncomfortable with the environment. As a newbie at Xpose, I'm new to the classes and how the studio operates. My first class was sexy chair with the instructor AJ (who was phenomenal). I didn't know we needed to bring a yoga mat for sexy chair because it was my first time, so the staff kindly loaned me a yoga mat from the studio's inventory of yoga mats located in the bins. When I came to Xpose for a third visit, I signed up for sexy chair with the instructor Leanna. I forgot to bring a yoga mat so I retrieved the exact same yoga mat from last time because I thought that customary practice was permitted. Shortly after, Leanna reprimanded me in front of everyone. She immediately ran up to me, rolled up the yoga mat, repeatedly and sarcastically said these yoga mats were restricted for employees' use only, and returned it to the yoga bins. I. UNSAFE COVID PRACTICES: 1. Leanna (the instructor) did not sanitize the yoga mat after reprimanding me. While I'm completely healthy and have exercised caution throughout the pandemic, she did not exercise that precaution. By returning the unsanitized yoga mat to the bin, she puts her colleagues at risk. 2. Leanna put me at risk by running up to me without maintaining the CDC's recommended 6 feet for social distancing. Afterwards, I politely left before Leanna's class started and spoke to the front desk associate Alex. Alex was very kind and validated that Leanna could've approached this respectfully while exercising COVID precautions. Alex kindly forwarded this to Xpose's management. The next day, Claire from management called me. II. POOR MANAGEMENT: 1. Claire from management stated "I'm sorry you didn't know the policy [that the studio's yoga mats are restricted for employees' use only]. You crossed the line and there are signs and an actual tape lined out between the instructors and those taking the class. And I guess Leanna crossed a line" because I communicated my concerns with COVID. I explained that I thought this was customary practice after my first class because I was permitted to use the studio's yoga mat. I thought there was a "line of tape" because it was to measure 6 feet for the instructor's safety, not to bar people from touching the yoga mats. I also explained that I had no idea what was going on in Leanna's life, especially when this is such a tough time for everyone, but I didn't appreciate this instructor taking it out on me. 2. Claire, on behalf of management, responded with (a) "I have no interest in that," and (b) "I don't know how else to make you feel comfortable at Xpose." 3. I thanked her for taking the time to call me, and then asked if she could help me get in touch with the owner of Xpose. Claire stated "the owner is never or I guess rarely is ever around," but I'll be sure to have the owner contact you. When I asked if Claire had my contact information, she immediately said yes and almost hung up, but I asked her if she could read it to me to ensure they had my email too. Interestingly, there was a long pause and she said she "needed to pull it up" which took ~ 3 minutes. CONCLUSION: Overall, this was an unfortunate experience because my concerns with COVID and the studio's management of this instructor's poor actions were brushed under the rug. I expected bruising and soreness from the classes, but not poor management or bad COVID precautions. Please be cautious if you decide to take a class at Xpose because you are risking your health, safety, and positive vibes. This unfortunate experience taught me not to trust Xpose to respect my health, my safety, or me. read more

I returned to Xpose after a few years away. I wanted to work out, but was scared of any traditional gyms due to COVID. Upon arriving for my first visit, I was greeted by the owner who generously answered all my questions about their protocols and offered to walk me through the studio. My first class (floor/chair) was challenging and I felt great afterwards! It was truly a fun, exciting workout. The instructors have been wonderful at suggesting multiple techniques to accommodate various athletic levels. I highly recommend the classes at Xpose! read more

I really enjoy it here. I had come for a few classes many years ago and enjoyed them. So when I moved back to the area a little over a year ago I purchased a class card and started taking the Saturday morning floor/chair class. I love the instructor. She makes the class fun and welcoming. It's just a very comfortable atmosphere and I look forward to when I can attend the class. I once also took the sexy stretch class that follows the floor/chair. I was pleasantly surprised by that class I like that class as well and that instructor is very nice too. I wish I could go more often. I've taken a few other classes and the instructors personalities can be different which may affect how you feel about the class. Regardless,the workouts for all the classes I've taken have been a good workout. read more

Started taking classes in September 2020 and I've been so impressed with the experience! I was nervous to return to any type of group fitness due to COVID-19. From the safety measures (temperature screen, social distancing and sanitizing) to the welcoming, knowledgeable instructions, it's given me the confidence to try something new, again. Exactly what I need to infuse a little fun and positivity into my week! read more

I love this place. I regret not being able to go more. The vibe is relaxed and friendly - not snooty or elitist. New comers are always embraced. I've been going to Xpose for off and on two years now and whenever a new person comes in, they have plenty of direction in terms of getting "set up" (I.e. place your yoga squares here, chair here, water bottle here, etc.) Ladies if any age, size, whatever, will feel sexy and strong. My favorite class is the chair/floor. I find it easy to get into the grove and flow of all the classes however. The Pole-Fit class will kick your ass. My abs hurt for a couple days afterwards! :) The prices are reasonable, and everything (including other clients) are easy to talk to and happy to help. I would like to see updated lighting in both the chair and pole room. There is a "break room" with a coffee machine that can be used to change/get ready for class. For chair classes: Make sure you bring a cheap yoga mat! (Your heels might mark it up. I got mine from 5 below.) For pole classes: DO NOT WEAR LOTION. You want your skin to be "sticky" on the pole. Oh! And always, make sure you have the right shoes or they will tell you to change/go barefoot. (Understandable, it's an insurance policy thing.) read more

Yes I took a pole dancing class and the overall experience was amazing. New respect to those whom do it and I used muscles I hadn't used before. The answer is no I did not do it in heels.. lol. There were people there and tennis shoes, high heels, and bare feet. Thank you to the staff for making me feel welcome. read more

This is the worst bank I have ever been to. I wanted to apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit, but they kept politely telling me about the joys of pole dance and inviting me to join them for a free class! :D In all seriousness this place is great - check it out! read more

I enjoy every class Xpose offers! There are so many different times that work well with my schedule, the instructors are all wonderful, and the packages are amazing! I have an unlimited monthly plan and go six days a week - xpose has does wonders to my body, flexibility, and I've made so many new friends. I highly recommend this fitness center, YOU WILL LOVE IT! read more

All of the instructors are awesome and knowledgeable. They meet you where you are. Check them out if you're looking for a fun way to get into shape! read more

I received a $100 gift card for fitness. I had been to several level 1 classes. The one I typically go to was booked so I signed up for a pole 1/2 class on Friday at 11:30. They have the same teacher every time so the fact I don't remember her name should not matter. Every time I have gone everyone has been great EXCEPT today. I went to work, wasn't going to write a review than felt like the sting was still around so here I am. We were doing a move that you have to vertically put your whole butt and legs against the pole and then turn over. Well 1) being a trauma survivor you have low self confidence which is why I attend pole fitness in the first place 2) never being in pole 2, I had never done the move and while everyone else was struggling too, I completely felt singled out. The teacher came over to me and said to me directly "You need to actually try!" like vertically attempting to lift myself wasn't trying.... I was vertically on the pole while she was saying this to me. I was attempting to look at her to listen and get her instruction before rolling over and she told me "Stop looking at me! You need to look at what you're doing! You look like you're way too fearful!" Well to that reply I wanted to say No s*** I am wearing 6 inch heels and attempting a move -- MABYE a little more support since it wasn't clicking would have been nice. I was and have never actually asked for one on one help. I take what I can do and enjoy my time there doing just that but for her to say that in front of the whole class while I am clearly attempting to this move made me very uncomfortable. I will not be going back to her class and if I didn't have the pre-paid amount already, I would think second about going back at all. She preached if you need any help with your moves for your garter etc, let any of us know but when I clearly needed help with just a little "positive reinforcement" she was completely rude to me. I am not advising not to go in general, I think you should be aware though which teachers will help you with your growth and which ones will not. There is a difference between being rude and "pushing people" to succeed. read more

P S A --make sure to wear loose fitting clothes My daughter's BFF gave her a surprise birthday party at this location. After handling the paper work and paying,you are lead the a room with chairs. The instructor was so down to earth...between learning new moves for exercising and for happy adult time.... the time went by quick. The poles were fun and the routine they teach is fun and helpful for money making..insider. This is a great idea place for any party read more

I experienced BodyTalk in Baltimore and in Laurel, I've done the Towson Xpose as well, this location needs some polishing as far as the staff is concerened. Only one instructor I had was really nice and enjoyable. I had encounters with other instructors that were less than welcoming, such as one walking past me and randomly telling me I have the wrong shoes (not even introducing themselves first, like who are you? Nice to meet you?) and I experienced seeing instructors "sit in" on another instructors class and usurp the teaching instructors lesson and instruction to the point where the teacher had to ask the other instructor to "stop". The staff needs some polishing, I went for a month and that was that. read more

Love the private birthday, wished it had a little more in it. This location did not allow alcohol but I just recently had my birthday party in tg e Arundel mills area and as long as everyone had Id and was of age it was ok. Needs more room in the pole room read more

It's fun sexy different and a great workout ! Love the booty boot camp and floor chair classes read more

I absolutely love this place! I move a bout 2 years ago and lately I have just been dreaming of being able to go back. I have continued to go to pole, but I haben't managed to find a place that feels like home the way Xpose did! Everyone there is so welcoming and knowlegable! I wish Xpose would move down to DC with me! I miss my Xpose family xoxox read more

First of all, let me start by saying that the staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. That being said, it's the only thing about this store that I liked. I never write reviews, but I was compelled today after an incident at the studio. This is only the fourth class that I've taken here. I went on a saturday and took the free floor/chair class which was fun (I was disappointed that we didn't get to try pole dancing though too, I guess with the free class you only get a demo of what the pole levels are). I was bummed since pole dancing was what I wanted to try out. So I bought a 6 class card which set me back just under $55 and stayed for a pole 1 class. There are only 10 poles in the smallest room ever (more on this later). Therefore pole classes fill up quick. The pole room is painted dark and I think they were going for a sexy atmosphere but to me it just seemed depressing. I had a good time for the first pole dancing class that I took. But while I was dancing I realized how crammed the room really was. I couldn't even walk around the pole without bumping into my neighbor. It was very restricting on my movement and my ability to get into the routine. Flash forward to today, a few pole dancing classes later when in pole 1/2 class we were doing these standing up fan kicks while holding the pole (sorry for not remembering the technical name). Basically I forgot how small the space was and when my first leg in the fan was coming down, the person next to me kicked her leg up and busted my naked foot with her hard, high heel shoe. It hurts really badly! If you're looking to stay at a low level of pole expertise and exercise then this place may work for you. But I don't see how anyone can get really into it or preform some of the more intricate/dangerous moves when you add the dodging your classmates into the mix. I really wish they would get a bigger space, but until they do, I won't be going back. read more

I love Xpose Fitness. I am addicted. This is one of the best ways to workout and have fun! It's a mixture of yoga, pilates and exotic dance. It is SO MUCH FUN! I went to the Xpose Fitness center in Towson (even though this place is listed as Parkville, it is in Towson) because it is 5 minutes away from my home. I arrived at 12:02pm for the introductory class. I was afraid because I was a little late that I would be turned away but I wasn't! I was greeted by Kristen, the class instructor, and she was all smiles. Kristen is the best instructor ever! She has a really great happy and bubbly personality and she is very fun. She had everyone in the class at ease and enjoying the workout. At the end of the class Kristen taught us a routine to Flo-Rida's "Right Round" to practice at home. After the class my body ached for 3 days. I am so excited! I plan on going back every week to get my fitness in order. It's such a fun and loving environment. The women who work there are truly about empowering other women to love and appreciate their bodies. Not once did I feel like I was an outcast or not apart of the group. This place is extremely clean and organized. The floor/chair class requires that you are barefoot or in socks. I am very paranoid about cleanliness and this place is very clean. I highly recommend Xpose Fitness and Kristen as your instructor. I will be going back again and again. I'm so glad I found this place! :) read more

Great instructors, fun classes. I only gave 3 stars because I am 5'9" and I can not comfortably take the pole classes without worrying if I'm going to stab my fellow pole classmates with my shoe because the pole room is TINY! I agree with other posters that I'd wish they'd expand. I feel like I am missing out on the best part of Xpose. read more

VERY poor business practices. You know in small print where companies state policies may change. Well they fully take advantage of that when it comes to buying packages. So read carefully and don't trust the word of the salesperson! read more

I was really excited about the booty bootcamp class, but found it very disappointing. The class was overcrowded and the instructors seemed preoccupied with the fun they were having. I thought this class was going to teach me how to pop, but there was very little instruction on technique...just a lot of yelling and screaming about 'shaking it fast' and 'picking up dollars' and such. And, not to be mean, but sexy-walking around a chair and shaking my butt fat around is hardly a workout, I don't know why the instructors treated it like it was so intense. I've been to a class with better instructors at the Arundel location, so I hope they're still around at Towson. Personally I don't think it's worth the drive...both the area and the facility are sub par. read more

Xpose fitness makes me feel strong and sexy. I feel good about my body after each class. I also enjoy the diversity of the women

I took a booty pop class here and a few other classes at the Towson location. The booty pop class was packed and there wasn't ample floor space for everyone. I feel like we were on top of each other, but we made it work. I would suggest limiting the number of people in a class like that. The instructors for the booty pop class were great! I had a lot of fun and learned a few things like how to twerk. Thanks ladies! LOL. The energy level at the Towson location is superb. It's also nice to have fun working out because you forget you are actually working out. I also love how empowering Xpose is for women. They cater to all fitness levels. read more

I've taken classes at Xpose before (they were all a ton of fun & SUCH a great girls night out idea) so when my good friend was planning a bachelorette party, I immediately thought XPOSE! We booked a Saturday evening session and set a date. Unfortunately, the day came and Mother Nature decided ice was a better idea than learning how to chair/pole dance :( You would think this is where my experience takes a turn for the worse but what happened next is what drove me to write a review (because I typically never do this). Teagan was 100% understanding and accomodating- she offered to move our date which is not required! She was professional and understanding that weather was beyond our control. I could not have asked for better service! Fast forward a few weeks, to right now. I'm hanging out at home when I should be out enjoying my night at Xpose. Why am I home? Because two of the attendees have the norovirus aka stomach bug and another sick with what we think is food poisoning! What horrible luck we are having! To say the least we were all bummed that we were missing class BUT again the staff at Xpose was understanding. While we will still be paying for our cancellation ( as we should, they need to pay their bills too :-P) I cannot stress enough how great Teagan and the rest of the staff are. I would recommend Xpose to anyone looking for a fun night out, bachelorette party, or just a place to get fit without getting bored! read more

I love this place! From the start the instructors made me feel at home. I am by no means a good dancer, but they've offered some really great guidance and it's allowed me to learn a lot and become stronger. I've brought a lot of friends here, too, and they've all enjoyed it. I do think that a larger pole room would be a big improvement. I try to steer clear of classes that I know will be crowded (like $5 fridays). read more

I really enjoy this location but not as much as the arundel mills location. The classes are great just as a tall girl I feel I don't have a lot of space in the pole room however the prices are great and even better when they have the sales! read more

I took a few classes here when I was in town and they were really good! I totally appreciated the free intro class because that gives you a good idea of what they offer (I ended up taking 6 classes over the next 4 days) I wish more places did that. The instructors were really nice and knowledgeable; I plan on going back the next time I'm in Towson read more

Xpose is great! I have so much fun taking pole classes here, I'm always learning something new. Even better is the Co-Ed class they have on Saturday afternoons, it's a great workout for both my boyfriend and me! read more

I Love the class, the instructor made you feel and comfortable. It was my first time and will go back again, when I have some time

Had an awesome time in the chair dancing class... not only fun but a true work out. Will attend again.

I love that there is no pressure to attend. I'm a pole princess in my mind but I cannot come as often as I would like. My schedule has to catch up with my dreams but until then, the ladies understand that we are all busy women. I have an idea! Consider online classes. Or even an instructional dvd for floor/chair, booty ball bouncing beauties, sexy stretch. The instructors are good at showing us student sexies how to transition through different moves and tricks. Think about it. Maybe even give fun homework, like 2-3 moves to improve on. read more

I loved taking the Sexy Stretch class with Janice at the Towson location -- I went out of my way to take the class. But with some recent changes at that location, including Lauren (woman at front desk who greeted you by name) and Janice no longer being there, I won't be going back. The concept and the classes are great but definitely check out the instructors before committing - and keep an eye out for schedule/instructor changes. No matter how good the routines are, not having the right instructor can change that. It's a shame too because rarely do I find something for myself that I'm willing to spend my money on. Unfortunately, they won't let you use your class card at other locations even though I believe they are the same company so now I'm stuck with some newly purchased classes. And at least one of the senior management at the company is pretty rude . read more

So bummed that the Arundel Mills location closed. Towson is just too far for me to travel since I've relocated and I still have classes on my card. read more

Instructor was welcoming and taught us a creative phrase incorporating basic and challenging moves fit for the level. The studio is clean and spacious and I enjoyed the ceiling height. I wish the instructor took a little more time to show a move because I believe that the pole community is still new enough where names of moves aren't universal; as a new student I felt unsure of whether or not I was in the proper level because the instructor asked us to do a move without always showing it. read more

I always go to this xpose, but today was different. I went to the 9:30am pole 1/2 class with carmen. I went in & started to follow directions but wasn't getting the steps correctly, I was standing right behind the trainer and she could see that I was having trouble and continued to go on the next steps. I don't want to talk bad about the trainer but I just didn't like the technique and didnt like the fact that she didn't help and clearly seen I needed extra attention read more

I used to attend classes at the Arundle location and wasn't informed of the closing and email pertaining to unused classes that I paid for that guess what weren't TRANSFERABLE!! So needless to say regardless of who owns certain locations you all fall under the Xpose name! Never using this company again! read more

Loved the Sexy Stretch class when it was in Arundel Mills. I thought it was their intent to find a new place when their lease was done. There are lots of open facilities in Glen Burnie, Pasadena and the Severna Park area so the management could take a look at those locations. Now it's only Towson and that's too far. It was fun, not too crowded, well worth the price and I'm sure they would have no problem filling up the classes. read more
