SHE IS AWESOME! she made me feel super welcome the whole time and helped me get more comfortable with my skin. I started the 6 week beginner classes and WOOOW! is so much fun! The amount of support and cheers you receive makes your heart all happy and warm! I was terrified of taking a "sexy class" because I am NOT a sexy human, and my body confidence is not.. let's say nice.. but I got out of there with super high energies thinking that this sport might be a life long hobby for me!

I've taken 3 flying trapeze lessons…read more At first I didn't realize that this school is actually on the pier which is cool (it has since changed locations I believe). There are always on lookers, and it's kind of nice when they cheer for you when you complete a trick haha. Recommendations: Wear pants, either tight fitting sweats or leggings, and socks. It helps to have slides that you can slip into if you're going to be walking around in-between jumps.

The instructors here are all friendly fun and caring of your safety. It's a large space and entrance is on the right side of the pier's boardwalk. They have lots of different classes here from silk, trampoline, flying trapeze, static trapeze, lyra and you can progress through months and years here as it is a school that can teach advanced levels. I did the flying trapeze class and their grip on the bar is fantastic, they have chalk on the bottom of the ladder as well as the top of the platform before you grip the bar. They do recommend you come here with tight leggings to protect your legs and be able to grip the bar better with your legs. They have lots of shade in the rest and prep areas. The staff here are all friendly and the school is very well spaced out that it feels very private and not noisy from the rest of the crowded pier. Everyone afar on the pier will be taking pictures since it is a sight to see someone fly through and it is quite fun! They sell grips and wraps here along with grip socks too. You do not need to buy the grips or wraps to attend the class here. Dependent on your skill level, you can progress and do many jumps off the trapeze in a 30 minute session or you can stack back to back sessions for more time.

The downside is having to sign up for every class it feels a bit tedious and the $25 no-show fee can add up quickly.

Made my entire trip worthwhile. While drop-in classes are super expensive ($45 each) I can't imagine how much building rent in LA would be for businesses, so checks out. This was a few months ago from writing this review, but I took classes with Christine, Peppa, and Ran. Some of those instructors don't teach at Jagged anymore, but the quality was consistent across the board. First of all, I would not recommend taking 3 classes in a row. I was excited to be there, and it was my only opportunity to visit during my trip. I love how Jagged utilizes their small space to simultaneously teach pole and aerial or stretch classes. Instructors truly cater to the level of their students. They're SO strong and talented! I found each class to be sufficiently challenging, and the community is wonderful too. I walked out, filled with so much happiness and adrenaline! Make sure to bring plenty of water and arrive early because street parking in Santa Monica is awful. I look forward to coming back to Jagged and trying more classes. There's so many different types and levels--something for everyone. They even have a first-timer special so you can try your first class for less than the full drop-in price.

My biggest regret moving from Venice was giving up working out with Bevin at Studio U. This studio…read moreis incredible, the perfect size, clean, welcoming, and it's owner, Bevin, is competent, badass, kind and overall just good people. She made an existing passion of mine, boxing, even more fun and challenging in the right way. I did both group classes and 1-1 sessions and it never disappointed. Even group classes that can sometimes be bleak at other spots were fun and engaging, partially because Bevin builds a community. I never tried the Pilates section, but I only hear great things about it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a stellar local workout spot with wonderful people to brighten up your existence.

I bought the Daily Candy deal for the TRX 3-class package deal. I used to work out with my trainer…read moreusing TRX and remembered how much I loved it. I honestly haven't seen any studios focusing on TRX classes alone and I was pretty stoked when I got the deal. First off, Studio U is located on Abbot Kinney just down the street from my favorite spinning studio, YAS. I'm shocked that I never knew this place existed and I literally drive by everyday. I guess I was really lucky on my first visit t there was one other student beside me. The instructor, Bevin is knowledgeable, patient and very nice...she watched our every move, form and reminded us to keep breathing. The entire session was literally like a semi-private. My body definitely remembered the moves and I'm sure I'll be feeling sore tomorrow. You can sign up for classes online and there is a 24-hour cancellation policy. Bevin was understanding the first time I canceled due to a last minute conference call I had at work with Asia. I understand now why they need such a lengthy period of time for cancellation as the class sizes are really small. Nevertheless, I will definitely be coming back here.

She's so so nice and what amazing service. We had considered purchasing a pole but safety was my number one concern. I'm so glad we decided to rent from Nicole. Thank you thank you thank you!

Worth every second (and every wrist stretch)…read more I just finished Aza's 4 Week Handstand Series and honestly this was exactly what I needed. The program is structured, intentional, and actually doable even if handstands have felt intimidating or inconsistent before. Aza breaks everything down in a way that makes you feel supported instead of rushed. Each week builds on the last with clear cues, smart progressions, and drills that target the real issues like strength, alignment, balance, and confidence not just kicking up and hoping for the best. I appreciated how much emphasis she puts on form, wrist care, and body awareness. My shoulders feel stronger, my balance is more controlled, and my entries are way cleaner. What stood out most is that this series doesn't just train your body it trains your patience and mindset. I feel more confident upside down and more connected to my movement overall. If you've been wanting to build a solid handstand foundation or clean up your technique without burning out or getting injured this series is 100 percent worth it. Highly recommend.

And I always give up, get bored or complain. I have finally found one that I never want to forget, and the man who has done it all. I have been attending Cuerpaso for the past 3 weeks (10 classes) and already I have noticed more stamina, endurance, and strength in my legs, abs and arms. My posture has improved, I have more energy and I am happier. Tadeo kicks your BUTT and you are exhausted after the hour long workout, but it is so worth it. I have finally realized and truly believe if you want to look and feel great, YOU have to do something about it. Nothing is going to magically change. And while I cant stand going to the gym, I have finally found something that is so much fun, I forget how much I am sweating and burning fat and ENJOY watching the ocean waves and working hard to see these great results. I would suggest CUERPASO to any woman who needs to revamp her workout routine, get some inspiration and get the results you want and have been waiting for! I leave every class glowing with sweat and accomplishment. I guarantee you will fall in love with this program.

I love working out with Tadeo, he's very motivating, he keeps me in check and overall it's always a fun and rewarding atmosphere. Working out with Tadeo shows vast results. My first week, I lost an inch and a half around my waist and noticed that my stomach felt less bloated especially at night. Tadeo designed a fitness program and meal plan to fit me personally. I thought I had been eating healthy and working out hard until; Tadeo sat down with me and viewed my daily intake and my workout plan. I thought the less number of times I ate a day and the more cardio I did (1-2 hours a day) was going to help get me in shape, but WRONG! With Tadeo I work out 6 times a week still, but less strenuous and more effective. My body has more definition, tone and my BUTT looks amazing! Tadeo has me eating 5-6 times a day! I don't feel tired and I don't feel like ripping anyone's head off because I am food deprived, if anything the first week I felt full faster. Overall, working out with Tadeo is worth it! I love the fun workout plans he's designed, I still eat the things I want to enjoy, just in smaller doses and more times a day, he even allows me to have a cheat day ;) and the work out is FUN. For those of you who hate being cramped up in a smelly gym or those videos that you can't keep up with, this is the guy to train with! You WILL get your time and money's worth! Hands down the best trainer!

She has such a brilliant spirit--so thoughtful, kind, and genuinely invested in making the experience meaningful. What could have felt intimidating as complete beginners with zero dance experience quickly became one of the most joyful parts of preparing for our big day. We chose Brown Eyed Girl for our first dance, which isn't the most typical choice, and Lisa completely embraced it. She choreographed something that felt perfectly us--fun, natural, and achievable for beginners while still looking beautiful. She has an incredible gift for tailoring choreography to your abilities while helping you feel confident every step of the way. What truly sets Lisa apart is the care she puts into her work. She spent time outside of our lessons thoughtfully crafting and refining our dance, something we've honestly never seen another instructor do. Her attention to detail and genuine investment made us feel so supported. Lisa didn't just teach us a dance--she helped create one of the most memorable moments of our wedding. We'll be recommending her to every friend and family member with an upcoming wedding. She is truly one of a kind.

She has an amazing, fun, and outgoing personality that made every lesson so enjoyable. She made us feel at ease from the start, and it never felt like a chore--more like a fun and exciting activity we looked forward to every week. One of the things that stood out most was her flexibility. We had a lot of moving parts with wedding planning, but Lisa was always accommodating with our schedules. As a teacher, she is so patient as we worked through new moves. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and choreographed something that matched our beginner skill level, while still being show-stopping for our guests. On the big day, our first dance was a hit! We've received so many compliments from our family and friends who were blown away by how smooth and elegant it looked. We couldn't have done it without Lisa. The dance lessons ended up being one of our absolute favorite parts of the wedding planning process, and we're so grateful for her guidance and encouragement. If you're looking for an instructor who will make your first dance both fun and memorable, we can't recommend Lisa enough. Thank you again for making our special day even more amazing! We love you Lisa! -Adam & Ariela
