Alt Fit Jax, Jacksonville Beach FL

We had a blast at my pole birthday party! The instructor Claire is one of the most talented and supportive instructors of this very challenging sport/dance.

I will definitely do it again!

The studio has become my second home. Everyone here is super welcoming, body positive and just pleasant to be around.

I have been training here for almost a year and all the instructors have been so patient with me, as I do sometimes get frustrated when I do not get a skill right away. They will show it a million times and try to give different queues for everyone. As well, they will differentiate any skill to make sure that you can excel at your own pace.

Another bonus is that it is very well priced.

I am a bit surprised by the 5- star reviews here but I guess I will have an unpopular opinion, which I am totally okay with. Not the best gym experience. They train mostly competitors and when you go into an intermediate class, it feels like they expect you to do multiple inverted combos. Most of the people in the gym have been training for years and I just stood out like a sore thumb. I prefer another fitness gym that I am starting to go to. Maybe differentiate a bit in your instructional strategies and cater to non models or non competitors for once. Welcome
Them. Ask them about their physical strengths and limitations when you sign someone in. I do appreciate the grace they give for being late to class and I have given them a benefit of the doubt but every time I go there, it’s a competitive experience. Not every gym is for everyone. Sorry to rain on anyone’s parade and I am happy for those on their pole journey and have grown tremendously. It wasn’t for me. Plus the packages were too pricey. I will say Juliana is a great instructor there and so is Jessica.

Edit in response to the owner: I too have trained in separate studios where there are beginner/ intermediate classes. I have trained for about one year and have done the foundational classes (inverts, climbs, genies and Jasmines) but I was not expected to do an inversions class where you have to do various aerial combinations and classify that as “intermediate. ” In my opinion, that is considered advanced and it really brings down women of various body sizes and shapes who can’t master those skills in one class. I am a taller, full-figured woman who needs extra time and differentiated instruction where jumping from an invert and then expecting to do an aerial genie/ Jasmine is Herculean to say the least. Also, none of your instructors are tall (over 5’6”) which gives them more center of gravity to work from than your 5’”-5’3” women who can probably master an Ayesha in less than 6 months. Additionally, the class package that is unlimited is over $100 and I was looking for at least a $100 a month/ 5-class deal. But okay, thanks for your business and time.

Alt Fit is a fabulous supportive community of awesome people encouraging each other to grow.

Came here for my Bachelorette party. This place is AMAZING! We had a fantastic time and our instructor was very patient and made sure we have a great time, would recommend!

The instructors all have a different style and all of them are fun! It’s such a comfortable environment. I highly recommend giving this a try. The first timers pole with Ali is a blast! You’ll have so much fun!

Juliana was the instructor for our private pole party and we all had so much fun. She started by teaching us a few fundamental pole techniques and then added some advanced moves. Though all of us were inexperienced, we left feeling so sexy and confident. Juliana is awesome and was such a great instructor. I’m signing up for more classes and bringing my friends.

Additionally, the venue was clean, spacious, and the lighting and music created a sexy, yet inviting atmosphere.

I just started at Alt Fit and it is amazing. The instructors are so kind and helpful and the classes are so fun!

This was amazing! Julianna was our instructor for a private class for a bachelorette party and it was exactly what we wanted. You have to try it!
