I just want to share my gratitude for this studio. After having experiences at other studios where…read morethe business ethics honestly weren't great, it's incredibly refreshing to come somewhere that truly cares about their clients. I can't say enough good things about this place. In my opinion, it's one of the best studios in LA. The instructors are amazing, and the management and staff are genuinely kind, professional, and supportive. One thing I really appreciate is how clean the studio is. They ask everyone to remove their shoes at the door, which shows how much they respect the space and the dancers. I've been to studios where people walk around in regular shoes on floors you're expected to dance on, and it just doesn't feel right. Here, you can tell they take pride in keeping the environment clean and safe. You can truly feel the difference when a studio values the people walking through their doors. It makes me want to keep coming back every time.

I really did want to like this place. I've taken several classes and done several "open pole"…read moresessions after deciding to do the lowest tier membership that they offer that includes the unlimited open pole. I am someone who is brand new to the pole world but very motivated in trying to engulf myself in the sport. I come from a bodybuilding background where I found that the community was always very supportive and encouraging. There is zero community here. Everyone seems to walk in, and then pretty much run out of each class. Open pole is full of women of different levels of expertise, but there is an unusual sense of judgement that is impossible to shake if you're new. I don't come from a choreo background, so maybe that's where I'm falling short in the classes. I found myself to get very flustered quickly and didn't feel a lot of patience or encouragement from the instructors, for myself or for others. It seemed like the goal was always to get to the end of what the choreo is supposed to be, so you can use the remaining 3 mins of class to scramble trying to remember everything and practice while the instructor gets lost in themselves flawlessly going through the choreo that everyone else was still very much struggling with... and then that's it! Class ends. After leaving 2 classes in tears because I felt so defeated, I decided to pay more money to get private lessons elsewhere and THAT is where I fell back in love. I am now looking at just buying a pole for my apartment so I can practice at home in peace. Really sad that this didn't end up being the place I thought it was going to be, I feel like pole is a truly beautiful art form and having it be such a woman dominating sport, I guess I was hoping for some more love to the newbies.

I've now been going to The Loft for about 3 years now…read more Between the different instructors, many class options/times and the shows/performances they put on -- it's hard to NOT love this place! I still feel like this is one of the best aerial spaces in Los Angeles, but I could be a bit biased to the high ceilings and making such great connections at this studio. Only thing I would love, is if they offered more hammock classes and open gym slots. It I know they also offer probates with instructors so I'm sure they have to accommodate a lot of that too. Nonetheless it's my home studio now

She is extremely flexible with whatever results one wants to achieve. I train with her at my home and feel so comfortable with her approach. Her encouragement and kindness is what sets her apart for me. She is ever so patient and never makes you feel judged or like you can't do something. As someone who doesn't even like working out (me!), she makes every session new, fun and achievable. I've never felt fitter and healthier! Despite being a busy, new single mom she puts in her heart and soul into crafting each session to my needs and takes copious notes to track my fitness journey and health goals. She is also affordable and flexible in her pricing and doesn't have the typically Los Angeles "Personal Trainer" rates. It's really hard to find a great trainer who genuinely cares about their client's health and well being, so here's hoping she can help you as she has helped me!

A more accurate rating would be 3.5 stars. I found this…read moreplace through Groupon and I have generally positive feelings about it. Pros: The studio itself is gorgeous. Sexily candlelit with crystals glistening in every corner, it's very zen. There are no mirrors, which is good if you're self conscious. The pole classes are basically half Pilates and half pole. The Pilates half is very well run, and there's an emphasis on being "in" your body and out of your head so you can connect to your own sensuality. It has a meditative quality to it which is unique and lovely. It differs from your traditional pole dancing studio in a lot of ways- there's a lot of New Age elements and other classes centered around soul searchy meditatey things, which is wonderful if you're inclined toward that kind of thing. They have a slowly growing boutique in the front with (somewhat overpriced) CDs, crystals, supplements, sage, and artwork for sale, along with some clothing. I happen to like the New Age approach, but it's definitely not for everyone. Cons: This is a relatively new business, and it shows. They've made a lot of changes in scheduling and such over the couple of months I've been here. It seems to still be in flux as they drop and add new classes and tweak the website. They stopped using the Mind Body service for scheduling, which makes it more difficult to cancel/reschedule classes. They push a membership package which is 150 a month for unlimited pole classes, but it doesn't include any of the other classes or workshops (meditation, sensual awakening, hula hoop, etc.) Pole is only offered on Mondays and Wednesday nights, so if neither of those times work for you, tough tits and the membership is not a good investment. I also have similar concerns as I do about the Cirque School I previously reviewed. The pole classes are not structured by level, so the skill level in the class varies wildly from person to person. They take an "individualized" approach, which I find really doesn't work as well as having a class with people who are more or less at the same skill level. It's better in concept than in practice. As a perfectionist and a beginner who's hard on herself, it can be intimidating and discouraging. In my first class, which was also the first pole class I'd ever taken, the other two girls were experienced aerialists. Great. Also- the lack of mirrors does make it harder to observe and correct your form, even though it's freeing in other ways. There are no crash mats, so it's a little disorienting and scary when you're in the dark with no mirrors and can't see what you're doing. I actually really injured a tendon in my leg during a class here, pushing myself too hard to keep up with the more advanced polers. I feel, personally, a little unsafe during the pole portion. I would say give this place a shot, but I wouldn't recommend taking your very first pole class here, especially if you're nervous. Once this place finds its footing, and I'm hoping more time and clarity of business concept will reflect in the structure of its pole classes, my opinion might change.

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.

Yelp Version (Documented + Legally Safe)…read more Unsafe and Unqualified -- Screenshots Tell the Story I've spent years rebuilding my confidence after trauma, and movement has been part of my healing. I signed up for this class believing it would be a safe space for women to reconnect with strength and self-esteem. Instead, I was blindsided by judgment and dismissal from the instructor, Amy. Below are her exact words from our text exchange (screenshots attached): "You don't really seem to be in a good headspace, so I'd rather you come when we can communicate better." No conversation. No context. No compassion. She refunded me immediately and refused to answer the phone. This woman is not a licensed therapist, yet she made a clinical-sounding judgment about my "headspace" based on a few texts. That's not care -- that's discrimination. It's emotionally reckless, and it caused real harm. What's most painful is that I was proud of myself for showing up. I've been doing the work -- therapy, sobriety, healing -- and taking this class was a big, vulnerable step. To be told I was "unfit" by someone without qualifications was retraumatizing. Amy's lack of communication and empathy proves she is not trauma-informed and should not be running a class that markets itself as "healing." If you're a woman seeking empowerment through movement, protect yourself and look elsewhere. You deserve teachers who listen, who care, and who don't play therapist when they're not one. This experience was painful, invalidating, and a reminder that unqualified people can do real harm under the guise of "help." Women like me are working hard to heal. We deserve better. when things like this happen. . Speak up. Show receipts. Protect your peace.

By the way, once you book the classes online for the AMOS Riding Academy, Mae sends you a personalized video intro of what to expect including what gear to get and what classes might be like (she's not one of the teachers but is very helpful and knowledgeable on any questions you might have about the classes).
