Shimmy Chic is my new favorite activity! And inShape is an excellent clean safe space for fitness and dance.
I purchased this off of Groupon. I was very excited for Ariel Yoga. I understand that we are in the middle of the pandemic. I was frustrated, because what I was told was not on the website. I get there the class I wanted was only for members only, and as a Groupon member I was only allowed one class. I did not find this out until I arrived. The owner gave me her personal number to register. I told her that I was upset, had this been online, I would have known. She told me that it would not allow anyone to register for classes. I said yes, but I wasn’t sure why. I tried to call and I got no answer. When I mentioned a refund, the owner proceeds to yell at me saying, “I AM STANDING OUTSIDE TALKING TO YOU AND YOU HAVE NO FREAKING MASK ON. I AM SORRY THAT IT IS NOT ON THE WEBSITE. ITS MEMBERS ONLY. I GAVE YOU THE INFORMATION AND MY PERSONAL NUMBER. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT.”I tried to explain my frustration as in driving and for it to be incorrect is not okay. I was not looking to be compensated but as a customer to understand. The class looks like fun, and maybe she is the nicest person and has a bad day; however, as someone that is in customer service, that put a bad taste in my mouth. I was not impressed.
This was such an amazing experience! Very encouraging and our instructor Jordynn was SO kind!! We did a private party 1 hour class for a bachelorette party and we really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you!
We had a blast !! Girls night out Kim is the BEST!! Defiantly worth it ..
Went for a girl’s night and we will most definitely be going back. So much fun. Our instructor, Brittany, was super talented and so sweet. I loved the variation throughout the experience (chair dance, pole dance moves, and “ground work” 😉) and Brittany was very skilled in helping each of us get our form down so we could do our “own sexy moves.” Absolutely a 5 star experience! Thanks for a great class Brittany!
Overall great experience!! Came here for the first time for a birthday and our instructor was amazing. She made everything clear and easy to understand, and I’ll definitely be back again.
This place is Awesome!! The dance instructors are beyond Talented!! They are kind, helpful and truly know their stuff!The ladies (Newbie’s and Regulars) that go are truly welcoming and encouraging!! I loved meeting them and the experience I got while attending!! Nothing but love for this place!!! ❤️
I enjoy my experience
I love it here! I started as a complete beginner back in May and all the instructors have been so supportive and encouraging. The classes are great, they are challenging and fun and a little addicting. I always leave the gym sweaty and happy which is exactly what I want in a fitness experience.
Brittany was the best instructor! She taught a private party class and broke everything down for those of us whom never tried this before. We all had so much fun and had a great work out. I would def do this again!
I took the pole fitness class with Clara today. She is an amazing teacher. She takes her time explaining how to do the moves without injuring yourself. Within one class I feel I have improved a lot from previous classes. It feels like time goes by super quick because its fun, but you will feel the workout the next day. Half the poles spin, and half are static. The static poles are great if youve had enough practice on the spinning ones or would like a challenge. Ive seen women of all sizes and age excel here, and they really try to help anyone needing extra help.
Joined a Private Pole Party hosted by Brittany for a friends birthday. It was so much fun! She helped us learn at our own levels and pace. 😍
Ive been coming here over a year now and I still love it. I was hooked after performing at one of the showcases. Everyone is always so friendly and the staff is so supportive of your goals. If you you want to try pole dancing or aerial arts in a safe, low pressure atmosphere, I recommend you come out.
My friends and I enjoyed ourselves to the max!!! We all realized how much of a workout we all needed. The place was clean, set up perfectly, and the staff was a blast!!! I would reccomend this place to anyone who is looking to get sweaty!!!!
I discovered this gym through Groupon about 3 years ago and fell in love. The gym provides a unique workout experience, with many of the evening classes focusing on aerial arts and pole classes. I have trained with Clara (one of the owners) for years and she has helped me grow so much! Like anything you do, you get out what you put in. The instructors help each participant access each move at their level, offering many optional poses so each person in class can be successful. Ive always felt challenged in my classes and I love the positive energy in the gym. The women here are truly a supportive community who care for each other and celebrate each others successes. I highly recommend this gym to everyone!
Did a drop-in beginner pole class (1st time ever)...it was great! Brittney was so helpful & supportive. Clean facility. Wish I lived closer.
Went last week with a couple of friends had a blast. The instructor was fun and energetic!! Will be returning very soon
This gym was listed on groupon. I decided to give it a try, and I am glad I did. Everyone was so nice to me. Being a total beginner I found the instruction to be easy to follow. I already signed up for my next class!
Love this place! Great vibes! There is something for everyone here. Nothing but positivity and motivation!!
First pole class, teacher appeared to be stoned out of her mind; bright red eyes, forgot what time class ends and what few poses she was about to teach. She allowed us to interrupt the aerial class before-hand. Extremely unprofessional. faulty rigging. Not accessible to beginners, very vague descriptions; I had to keep glancing over to figure out what the hell she was saying. Very quick, no time to explore or really learn anything. Absolute waste of money.
This place is amazing, and everyone is wonderful and professional. They welcome you in as if you are part of the family. I’ve never felt so comfortable in a workout facility. The classes are all fun and sortof addictive. I do the aerial hammock, pole, lyra & silks, and yoga. They are all a great workout but fun to do. I would highly recommend this gym.
I had a great time here with friends for our private Pole party music atmosphere everything was great. Love it!!!
I bought this as a Groupon and always had a great time and experience. The instructors were knowledgeable, helpful, and alot of fun. The studio is clean and professional. I would recommend them to any ladies looking for a new workout and challenge.
I was here about a year ago. I bought a groupon or living social, dont remember. I only went once for the aerial class. My concern was that, I went in as a group came out. I didnt know I have to bring a mat so I was told to used someones dirty and sweaty one. Yikes! In addition, those poles, ladies were coming down as we were asked to hop into and start turning around. To me those things were dirty and who knows what kind of bodily fluid left there for the next customer. I decided to lose my next four classes instead of coming back. I was looking forward to this type of aerobics but not anymore. I think after each class, someone, (staff) should spray some kind of germ killer to prevent cross contamination. I thought it was very unsanitary. Thank you, I hope the owner take my advise.
This place was a joke! Their instructors did not seem well versed on what they were teaching. They did not have many poles and some if them were steal from Home Depot not standard poles used for fitness. Will not be back.
I decided to give pole class a try for the first time. I must say I was very disappointed.. I learned maybe 4 moves, there was no actual pole dancing. I understand its a beginner class but I couldnt hear the instructor at all and just had to watch her to figure out what she was saying. It just wasnt very professional to me.Also 75% of the time (if not more) was just stretching and butt exercises, when she said the class was over for a second I thought she was joking. I was there for about 30 minutes and felt like I learned nothing. Oh and also half the poles dont spin.. which was no fun cause half the girls got to spin around on the pole and the other half couldnt. I talked after class outside to two girls that had went to that class their first time also and were disappointed. They have been to bittersweet studios beginner pole class and said they learned a lot more moves and even did dance routines for the first class and recommended them to me. Ill be trying someplace new.
I had an Awesome time with Karen and Brittany! I will be back for sure😁😁😁
Ive tried many yoga studios in Jacksonville and when I found Inshape Ladies Fitness, I stopped looking. Clara and Sandy are the best!
I love Inshape!It is my favorite escape from work, kids, life, and most importantly laundry. There is a great atmosphere at this gym. Its not just the ambiance and privacy, but there is a great group of girls here. There are 8 poles total 4 spinners / 4 static. The spinners are xpole close to 10 ft, and the static are custom made more than 14 ft high. There is also 6 aerial hammocks, a fly gym,, 1 aerial silk, and a lyra. This place has almost everything. A sauna, suspension and cardio machines, free weights, and hoops. Whether you are want to workout without prying eyes, get zen with yoga, dance in zumba, fly in aerial, get fit on the pole, or join a book club Inshape is there for you. Oh, and did I mention the price? Amazing!
Had a great instructor and lots of fun!!!!!
