I've been a fitness instructor since the 1990's and I've seen all the things and have taken or…read moretaught all the classes along the way...THIS BUNGEE FITNESS CLASS is the best surprise class that will kick your ass while you are laughing so hard you don't even realize what a fantastic workout you are getting. It's exhilarating, it's a little scary because it's so different, but it's addicting. I had muscles hurt the next day that I didn't even realize I was using. The best part about it (besides the fact that you can go flying through the air) is that my knees and ankles didn't absorb the impact like it would in a normal jump or burpee or jog. This is great for all people, big, small, athletic or not, if you try something and you don't quite get it, it's ok you're tethered to the beams above. I made a reservation ahead of time, I did a drop in "Intro to Bungee" class $45 because I was just visiting from out of town, but everytime I'm in the bay area I am gonna come back because it was that awesome. Everyone is required to do the Intro class first, and even though my instructor (shout out Malcolm, he was pure awesome-ness!) said I could move onto Level 1 next time, I would take the intro class again if I had friends that want to try it too. I did get to see some of the Level 1 and Level 2 moves, which looked really hard to do, but THAT IS MY GOAL! I wanna be a flyer! I couldn't stop thinking about this class for the entire plane ride back and then several days after I got back home. P.S. You do have to jump on the scale before class because they need to know how much weight the bungee needs to support. If they went by my drivers license weight or what I *thought* I weighed that day, the bungees would not have supported me and I would've fallen flat on my face.

VRV3 Studios immediately stood out because of their amazing intro package ($79 for 4 classes or $139 for unlimited classes -- both are to be used within 2 weeks), and it ended up being one of the best decisions I've made. I walked into my first pole class with zero experience and a lot of nerves. Nico, the receptionist, was incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. He gave me a tour, explained how everything worked, shared helpful tips for my first class, and really helped calm any anxiety I had before stepping into the studio. In just two weeks, I've taken classes with Melanie, Yifan, Freddy, and McKena, and every instructor has been so patient, encouraging, and accommodating. Each class starts with warm-ups and conditioning to help you understand how to engage your muscles safely before learning tricks and poses. Every instructor has their own teaching style, but they all create such a positive and supportive environment. As someone who is naturally shy, I truly appreciate how inclusive and judgment-free this studio is. I always leave class feeling happier, stronger, and more confident than when I walked in. The studio is clean, has changing rooms, a bathroom, yoga mats, water fountains, yoga cubes and cubbies for convenience. If you've been thinking about trying pole but feel intimidated, this is your sign to book a class. I only wish I had started sooner!

I like the new app, because it makes checking-in a breeze. I've been going to classes here for over 3 years now and the stand out thing is the community. Everyone who trains here is amazing and I'm happy to met so many amazing instructors/classmates over the years. My favorite classes are pole, especially Fluid and Flow and L3+ Tricks. The community is super supportive, welcoming, and fun! I especially love Patricia's and Vix's classes! My only gripe is that the classes do not tell you in advance how filled the class is (I.E it could say XX spots out of 10 filled on the app) before you sign up. When classes have 8+ students, I would have preferred to taken a different class. Otherwise, this review would have been a perfect 5/5.

At the other places I've been (not naming names, as I'm sure they're fine at what they specialize in), the instructors will show you how to do a move and then shrug if you can't do it. Here, they'll show adjustments or a previous progression and help you figure out how to do a move with patience and encouragement, and they won't leave you adrift feeling like you can't do something and not know why. I can't recommend Ascend highly enough!

I tried the bungee fitness class at Wild & Fly. The class costs $35 for a one-hour session…read morescheduled from 12:30-1:30pm. There was no advance notice to arrive early for registration or equipment fitting. We had to fill out about two pages of forms (personal information and a health questionnaire, including weight) and then get fitted for the bungee sling. With three staff members assisting around 13 participants, this process took some time, and the class didn't start until around 1:00pm. Wendy, the instructor, did a good job leading the class and provided clear guidance overall. However, some very simple movements were explained in a more complicated way. For example, when moving diagonally, she described it using specific angles: moving at a 35-degree angle, placing one arm at 90 degrees and the other at 45 degrees, then transitioning the 90-degree arm to 45 degrees: which made a basic movement harder to follow than necessary. The actual workout lasted about 35 minutes, and we finished around 1:35pm. Wendy mentioned that the studio has been open for about a year and that classes are typically around 40 minutes. The workout itself was very low impact: I didn't sweat at all, so it felt more like a fun experience than a real workout. No photos or videos are allowed during class. Participants are also expected to wipe down the bungee equipment at the end as a courtesy for the next class. Overall, it's an interesting and unique class to try once, but considering the price and the shorter workout time, the experience felt average.

Worst customer service and a total mess. The booking system is flawed, and the staff is completely…read moreunhelpful. Having previously taken an initial trial class, I consulted your staff and later purchased a 1-week trial package online. The system allowed the transaction, and I scheduled three classes. At no point during my consultation or the online checkout process was I informed that this purchase was invalid. After attending one class, I contacted the assistant to upgrade to a 10-class package. Instead of facilitating this, the assistant informed me that I was ineligible for the weekly trial, abruptly canceled my remaining sessions, and demanded I pay the full standard rate for the single class attended. It is highly unprofessional to penalize a customer for a system loophole and staff oversight, especially when I was actively trying to purchase a long-term plan. I request a review of this matter and a fair resolution.

I'm so glad I made that decision, because Addie is awesome!!! She's super nice and really good at teaching! The class I was in had 5 other participants. We first showed proof of vaccination and our ID before filling out the waiver. The lights were dim and the studio itself doesn't have many mirrors. I felt that this promoted confidence because I didn't have to feel self-conscious in the mirror, or worry about how I looked in front of others. Because I'm more cautious, I kept my mask on. I appreciate that there was no pressure to have to take my mask off. Anyway, so we start off with a warmup that focused on flexibility and core strength. Spoiler alert: I lack both, but I did my best! We also learned how to crawl and do some sexy leg work. Then we got to pick a pole and we learned some moves: a spin, how to walk around the pole, and how to uh dance around it? At the end of the class, we learned a routine and had the option of recording ourselves. We even got to try on heels! Uh a little heads up on the heels: your best bet is to size up. I normally wear a 5. The 6 fit me fine, but I might've felt more comfortable wearing a 6.5 or something. I'm really considering taking the 5-6 week series.
