Awakenings Pole Dance Fitness, Philadelphia PA

Had a ball with my good girlfriends! It was so much fun and definitely not what I expected. Our instructor Mell was phenomenal and really made us feel at ease and very comfortable. We will definitely do it again!

Everyone here is so nice and welcome! I always have a blast with Lo she is a great instructor and the hammock classes are such a fun and effective work out. I am sore for days

The whole experience at Awakening’s Pole Dance Fitness was fantastic. I found Heather (the owner) to be very approachable, down to earth and very responsive.

These instructors create such a positive atmosphere and are so welcoming to everyone! The variety of classes that they offer are awesome. I have done a few classes (beginner level) so far and I already feel encouraged and empowered! If you haven’t tried a class yet, definitely do so. I highly recommend it, You won’t regret It!
Thank you for making my Soul Happy!

I was really excited about coming here to learn aerial arts. The place was easy to find with easy street parking. However the building smelled like mildew but the studio had and overwhelming smell of funky feet that greeted you upon entering. The instructor was incredibly nice and talented. But I was extremely disappointed with the quality housekeeping. The cushioned floor was visibly dirty and smelled and the teacher wanted us to get on the floor and stretch without yoga mats. The aerial silk smelled like funky armpits and it felt like it had been overly sprayed with disinfectant spray, instead of being washed gross. The rug by the couch looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in I don't know how long. While I enjoyed the class the studio could use a deep cleaning and the silks really need to be washed. This studio has great potential and offers many classes that I would love to take but.

Took my best friend for her birthday and we had a blast. Definitely planning a return visit.

Nice studio, kind instructors, but not completely beginner friendly. I’d recommend going in with a background in fitness, dance, or strength training or else you’ll find yourself unable to keep up.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I have truly loved attending Awakenings. The inclusive atmosphere paired with phenomenal instructors creates a wonderful sense of community. I cannot recommend enough. Not only are the instructors excellent at what they do, they provide encouragement and each new step you take along your journey which is awesome for someone like me who is just beginning. Thank you Teil Thank You Brisa and Thank You to everyone at Awakenings!

We did a pole party for my best friend's bachelorette and it was such a great experience! We were all a little nervous at first, but our instructor made us feel so comfortable and we all had a blast! Would definitely go again!

Loved the aerial hoop class. Great teachers, great community, and can’t wait to start my pole series!

Take the chance and go to a class, you won’t regret it! It was the best thing I ever did for myself.

All the instructors are phenomenal, you can’t go wrong! I started out with Tiel’s Pole beginner series and Amanda’s Aerials beginner series. I highly recommend them.

And if you’re worried about strength and coordination— don’t. I started with 0 body strength. Fitness at awakenings is “sneaky fitness, ” it creeps up on you. The instructors are excellent at making things fun and accessible. They built my strength stealthy!

Highly recommend.

I came to awakenings for a private pole, dancing class with Tiel, and it did not disappoint for myself, and my girls! It was for a bachelorette party surprise for my sister-in-law, Kaitlyn, and she absolutely loved the experience. Unfortunately, we’re not normally from the area and live about an hour and a half away or we would totally be back a lot more often. Tiel was so nice and caring and made us feel so sexy and free with our dance that we learned. We absolutely loved it! Thank you so much again.

Great experience! Empowering and uplifting for all genders, shapes, and sizes. Also very beginner friendly:)

I booked the pole dancing class for my friend's bachelorette party and it was a BLAST! The booking process was easy and Tiel was very helpful with providing all the necessary information. Our class instructor was FANTASTIC and every girl had such a fun time, especially the bride. At the end of the class everyone was talking about how they would do a class there again! Would recommend for anyone looking to have a fun and unique bachelorette experience!

I’ve taken one class so far and I’m really excited to continue. So far it is every welcoming, inclusive, and empowering environment.

I love it here. I'm two weeks in and I already feel like this place is home. The instructors are friendly, warm and welcoming and the vibe is so chill and inclusive. Cannot recommend enough

Such a fun place to be! Everyone is very friendly, instructors are great, and I love all the classes they have to offer:)
