Twisted Fit

This was the first pole studio I ever went to about a 2 years ago. So take things with a grain of salt because hopefully they’ve changed but seeing them gain popularity on tumblr made me want to make people aware of what I now know was a very unsafe experience at Twisted Fit. I’m lucky I only minorly hurt my shoulder while there instead of seriously injuring something
When I was there they had me and my friends inverting after only a month of classes. There is no way any of us were strong enough and tina was actually teaching us to kick up instead of engaging our lats and transversus properly. There was no corrective action for our poor form and this is how I hurt my shoulder, and later threw my back out of alignment from falling, but I’ll get to that later.
They had us learning bracket grip in the beginning of first class, which isn’t terrible hut they were teaching it improperly which could have contributed further for my shoulder injury and still leaves me with wrist pain today. I don’t know if they were actually teaching it wrong or if in the 3 months of my classes there, they never actually bothered correcting something so important.
Finally, crash mats!!! You CANNOT let people do laybacks and inverts with NO spotters without crash mats. Its so irresponsible and the number of times I fell on my back its no wonder I was left with back pain for a year after that I’m still in the process of fixing after 3 months at the chiropractor. I have no idea how you have insurance. Just because you are good at something does not mean you should teach it.
For a while I thought all of this was good and fun and not a big deal but as soon as I moved to a safe, anatomy based studio in dfw, I learned how terrible the conditions I first learned in were.
Now that was two years ago and I hope that’s changed for the sake of their students but PLEASE call and ask about safety related questions before you go. I am so lucky I didn’t get hurt worse than I was. The teachers are nice but their safety is abysmal.

I wanted to try pole class for at least a year and a half before I finally took the plunge and signed up. I’m so glad I did! I was instantly hooked. The instructors are all very nice, very helpful at any level and make you feel very comfortable. I never once felt embarrassed or stupid trying to get the hang of the pole. It was a lot of fun, very rewarding, and a serious work out! I am sore in places I haven’t ever felt get worked doing traditional workouts. I’m very excited and motivated to workout now. This is just my kind of workout. The atmosphere is very laid back and everyone makes you feel at home. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow!

This is such an awesome place! There are people of all shapes and sizes supporting each other’s accomplishments and doing something they love! The classes are well structured and the staff makes sure everyone gets the attention they need. Everyone is friendly and helpful and I just love learning new moves each week!

I bought a Groupon last year for ten classes ($ 49) and redeemed it before the December 23 expiration date. I attended one class in December at 11:30am. The reason I purchased the Groupon was because of the daytime classes, as I have a toddler at home, so evening classes will not work for me.
However, as of the January 1, there are only evening classes on the schedule. I feel as though I have been completely ripped off. Yes, I have a whole year to do the remaining nine classes, but the only way I could learn and do well at pole dancing is to do it regularly and consistently each week. This, however, will not happen now that there are no daytime classes. I am extremely disappointed, more so that there is no way to get my money back.
Also, the one class I took that day, the instructor brought her three kids with her, ages 11 months, 2 and 4. I can’t emphasize how dangerous it was for them to be running around screaming while we are trying to swing our legs in the air. More than once I had a child at my feet holding onto my pole. I honestly don’t think I got much out of the class other than frustration and a bunch of bruises because I my form was constantly off as I was trying to avoid hitting a child. I have a two year old, so I know how it is to try and get anything done with them running around. Children that young do not belong in a pole dancing class, especially when we started doing some sexy moves. I felt really torn by it. It was not the experience nor the workout I had expected.
Now I’m stuck with nine more classes to do and no idea when I can do them. Honestly I would just like a refund for the remaining classes and take my business somewhere more professional. Twisted Fit has killed my desire to learn pole dancing.

I’m not sure if it’s fair to review since I’ve never been to a class here, but … that’s kind of the whole problem.
I registered for my first pole class in advance. When I arrived at the correct building for the class, on time by the way, all doors were locked. I tried knocking — no one answered. I couldn’t see inside due to the blackout curtains. I tried calling their number multiple times with no answer, and was unable to leave a message because the voicemail box is full. Still hoping for some explanation, I messaged TF via the contact form on the website. I still have not gotten a reply days later.
The website looks very professional and I had been looking forward to a fun, new experience. I don’t know if anyone else has had the same problem as I have, but I have been disappointed.

I have taken Zumba, belly dance and pole dance here. Excellent instructors and great workouts. Always feel comfortable and never intimidated. I would say try it because you will have fun while working out!

I LOVE this studio! The prices are great ($ 70 for unlimited pole classes) and the instructors are high quality. I am pretty new to pole dancing and find the classes challenging but really fun. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid back, not intimidating at all. I’m hooked!!! Plus there is something just awesome about a pole studio in the middle of a cutesy little place like old town spring!

After hearing about Twisted Fit from several of my friends, seeing it on Groupon numerous times, I FINALLY decided to check it out. This is a ladies only fitness studio (sorry guys) that has a variety of workout programs to choose from. I tried for the first time tonight the pole dance class. It was so much fun and a great workout for your whole body. Forget all the stereo typing and the judging because it’s not a strip class. This is a real art and a great workout for everyone. There will be sweating involved and you might even be sore the next day! :) I highly recommend Twisted Fit to any and every woman who is looking for a comfortable, laid back but serious place to workout. Their website is
and it has all of the classes with the costs as well. Call ahead and let them know which class you want to try at least 12 hours before the class starts. The first class is free to try it out to see if you like it. It’s a great place that I will now be visiting as much as possible.
