Finding Strength & Beauty at First City Fitness and Cirque
I believe every woman deserves to feel beautiful and empowered in her own skin. However, finding ways to cultivate that feeling can be challenging. Sometimes it's hard to know where to begin, and finding a safe and supportive environment is crucial.
Pole dancing at First City Fitness and Cirque has become that safe space for me. The instructors create a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere where I can explore my strength, flexibility, and femininity without judgment.
This art form has helped me rediscover my confidence and embrace my body. It's a powerful reminder that strength and sensuality are not mutually exclusive. Pole dancing is a journey of self-discovery, and I encourage every woman to find a way to move her body and feel empowered

I have had personal training sessions with Sabrina for just about a year now and truly enjoy her knowledge and friendship! She knows how to keep people engaged. She runs a very successful business and I think she does a fabulous job with it. I also think she is an amazing person!

This studio (particularly its owner and my pole instructor, Sabrina) has made me a stronger person, physically and mentally and has become a very special place to me in the 2 1/2 years that I have been coming here to train. I love it so much, I drive more than an hour each week to take advantage of the top-notch facilities and instruction! The class and membership prices are absolutely in line with the level of service provided. Studio policies are strict, but they are clear, fair, and consistently enforced. Highly recommend!!

Bought a class and called because i couldnt make it anymore and they would not give me credit to take a different class. Woman on the phone said this is because of terms and conditions that are in my purchase receipt however you receive a receipt AFTER you pay for something and it says by buying the class u are agreeing to the terms even though its not stated before you buy it. Tbh its pretty standard practice to receive credit for a class or something when you didnt receive the service so they need to make that policy more clear especially if its a ride or die policy. The picture is a screenshot from my receipt which i received AFTER i purchased the class.

I’ve taken pole classes here for 1.5 years and Savannah Cirque has become like a home away from home! The price is a steal for the caliber of coaches here. If you’re looking for a supportive gym where you can train in circus arts, have fun, make friends and see FAST results - this is the place to be🎪

I’m on month two of my program with Sabrina, and let me just say I’ve lost inches baby!!!! Sabrina makes my custom work out every month and ensures my form is proper every session!!! We have private sessions 3 times a week and I’m so pleased and happy to have her as my partner in this new chapter and journey !! Can’t wait our 6 month mark!

"Owner" is very rude, my instructor was great but the owner is the reason I won't be back along with many others! Definitely rather invest my money elsewhere and with individuals who know how to treat others be professional and have better attitudes

I’ve been getting private aerial silks classes from Samantha for about a month now and she’s wonderful! She’s great at explaining the techniques and she’s a very talented aerial artist/athlete herself. Sabrina and Samantha are so nice and incredibly good at what they do. I’ve developed such a joy from learning silks. Can’t recommend this studio enough.

I was introduced to Bri thru a friend. Along with another friend of ours, we meet twice a week in a group setting. Bri is amazing! She has made this experience so fun. I’ve never been one to work out until now. I look forward to our work outs! Bri is the best!

I want to preface this review with a thank you. Thank you Bree for helping me get healthy both physically and mentally. Thank you for making my 47 yo body stronger and better than my 27 yo body. I sleep better and feel better because of your training and knowledge. And, that is very important when you’re a veteran with PTSD.
Sabrina is phenomenal. I’ve been training with her for 5 years. She has a masters degree in the fitness field. Her education allows her to tailor my workouts to what I need to get the results I want. I have 5 friends who I introduced to the program and they love it.
Sabrina is also on the US national pole sport team and has competed in the world games winning a medal.
If you want to get fit in a healthy way with skilled certified kind people. This is the place for you.

I’ve been personal training with Sabrina for two years now and she has completely changed the way I workout. Running is my first and foremost exercise so it always seemed counterintuitive to spend time away from running doing weights. But after dealing with multiple running injuries I knew I needed something different and Sabrina was highly recommended to me. I’ve been injury free for 2 years now and running distances I didn’t think possible before. She’s encouraging, provides challenging and relevant workouts, and has taught me to how to properly recover and adapt at the first sign of anything going wonky. She is super knowledgeable and even better, shares her knowledge.

10/10 RECOMMENDED!! I’ve been a member for 7 months now and figured it was about time to write a review.

From my first class here I knew this was my place, everyone was welcoming, encouraging and had great energy. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and personable, they really take the time to get to know you and what your body needs to be successful.

After my first week I was completely addicted and started taking an average of 9 classes a week! (They have many different class offerings so you’re not exhausting yourself doing the same training everyday). As far as the classes go, with each class you really get so much individualized attention and instruction, if you have a goal in mind or a trick you’re trying to nail down your instructors will be able to tailor your training to your needs to help you achieve that goal and when you do… the studio erupts into cheers! (Remember how I said it was an encouraging environment? I meant it!).

All in all I truly couldn’t be happier to have found Savannah Cirque, it has shown me things I never knew my body was capable of and given me so many new friends that have now become a second family.

I couldn’t recommend this place any more! My girlfriend and I struggled for the longest time with finding a workout program that we enjoyed doing together. We tried pure barre, cycle bar, the gym, tennis, etc., you name it, we tried it. From the first class we took we both knew this was a great fit for us both. The classes are challenging but rewarding, you get to see clear progress every single week, and both the instructors and fellow students couldn’t be any more encouraging to both newbies and veterans of the aerial arts.

This place has become a second home to me and I couldn’t be more grateful for it! Not to mention I’m in the best shape of my life and improving more and more every day! (Thank you Samantha and Sabrina!!!)

Paid for a class and didn’t receive the class or my money back.

The owner is a stickler for a policy that leaves a bunch of her clients paying with no product. (Read the reviews this is a repeat thing.) Seems like a racket to me. Especially since she is the one who cancels the class and the one who writes the policy.

Great time if you happen to get what you pay for but sort of a $25 dollar gamble. She might cancel your class and keep your cash!

My wife and her friend bought some classes here. Not only did they not get what they paid for (the class) the owner is now trying to call out my wife on somebody else's review. The reason stated by the owner was she has to maintain the integrity of her business. Well maybe don't cancel classes and then expect people to work around your schedule. They sign up for classes on their schedule, if you cancel the class, which you did, you should at least honor the or refund the money paid. That would be real integrity. Also, Incase you didn't realize, Ray is not Michelle. Don't worry though, I will let people know what kind of business you run.

I took my first pole class here with Sabrina while I was on vacation and I got the opportunity to sit through a few classes to observe. I cannot say enough how sweet Sabrina and her instructors are. Every class I encountered such a diverse group of individuals of all strengths, body types and ages. There is something at FCF/Savannah Cirque for everyone. Sabrina has brought together a group of very talented instructors who are extremely client focused and keep their classes small. Unlike a lot of other places, Sabrina runs a tight ship and allows a 9 minute grace period for tardiness, which is time spent stretching and getting you to prep your pole to your liking. Don’t be late and enjoy your upbeat class. You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to get back on the pole at FCF!!

I live out of town and had some time on my trip to check out Savannah Cirque and was really impressed with the studio!! It was my first lesson, so I arrived early to make sure I had plenty of time to stretch and get ready. Veronica was my instructor and she was FANTASTIC! I was nervous because it was my first class, but she made me feel so comfortable! Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and extremely supportive even though I was new!! If you’re looking for a great workout and an amazing experience I highly recommend Savannah Cirque!

As a lifelong dancer who had an extremely rough year. I’m absolutely heartbroken by my experience at First City Fitness & Savannah Cirque. I was turned away by Pole Dance instructor Veronica Jones for being 2 minutes late citing a policy that was not in the booking form or confirmation email. To make matters worse, Veronica and the staff were rude and treated me like a criminal. And the owner did nothing to help the situation and REFUSED to refund me for a class I didn’t take. I waited all day to take this class, even traveling an hour in the rain just to be turned away. I’ve never felt so unwanted in my life. I would not recommend this studio due to the lack of professionalism ☹

The strenuous exercise part beforehand made the actual pole dancing part of the class harder for me when it began. My issue is the instructor moved my iPhone away from a pole with her feet. Thank God for growth because a year ago I definitely would have cussed her out. But yeah, don’t put your sweaty feet on a device that someone puts on their face. Other than that, I didn’t take much issue. Wish we could have worn socks.

Savannah Cirque (First City Fitness) is a large, well maintained, and dedicated space for those who want to explore and expand their abilities in circus and pole arts. Memberships are reasonably priced and include many class options. The instructors are kind, encouraging, knowledgeable, and well trained in providing proper warm ups, conditioning, and cues for safe and productive training.

I discovered First City Fitness shortly after moving to Savannah last year when googling where I could learn silks, lyra, and pole. Lo and behold, this oasis where I could learn all in one place opened its doors to me, and I quickly became a member! The community Sabrina has built here is remarkable and so supportive. I’ve advanced in each skill quicker than I imagined I could thanks to the impeccable instruction from their roster of teachers, all of whom bring their own fun, unique style to each class. I highly recommend First City Fitness for any fitness goal: strength, stability, mobility, flexibility, and SUPER COOL abilities!

My family surprised me with an Ariel class for my 50th birthday! There were 8 of us taking the private class and it was AWESOME! Everything was done so professionally. The owner, Sabrina, was our instructor and she is amazing! We had the best time! Half of our group were men, and they loved it, and did an amazing job with the instruction that we received, even surpassing the women with their skills. It was everybody's first time doing ariel. I would highly recommend Sabrina and her studio, especially for private events. Thank you for a fabulous experience!

Our instructor Anna was amazing. She was very kind and helpful.
The three stars rating is for our whole group feeling uneasy as when we first got there all we heard was barking from two closed doors. It definitely was odd for a fitness place and a lot of girls were dog lovers so it made them a little uneasy. It would have been nice to have signs on the doors or know why the dogs were there beforehand because that definitely darkened the mood of the group for a little while.

I tried to book the same class twice , it was cancelled twice due to not enough people signed up , when I tried to book the class with my credit for a third time , I was told I would not receive a credit for the class I didn’t take because I was 6 days past an expiration date that I was not aware of. So instead of being an understanding business owner and giving me a credit for a class that they cancelled .:: they chose to not only lose my business but the business of my friends that I coaxed into to taking the class to make sure that I would not be disappointed for a third time.

Oh and if you live an hour away , like I do , beware that they cancel classes frequently. I have been told at 5:40 that a 7 o’clock class was cancelled after I was already on the rd due to traffic and trying to make sure I make it on time. So I had to turn around wasting time and gas.

Rude, unprofessional behavior from the owner!!! The other Instructors were kind considerate and willing to help. My 10 year old daughter was spoken to as though she was an imbicile by the owner.

Traveled over an hour to participate in the hoop class and was told we would not be able to participate in the class because we were 15 minutes late. This is to avoid interruptions during the class, which is totally understood but me and my guest were the only ones signed up for the class. Called Sabrina, owner, and she said sorry you were late but no class. I informed her that we were in traffic and drive over an hour to be here. All she said was “sorry.” Again I totally understand no class interruptions but there was no class to interrupt. So took my money and no class. On the other hand the ladies working at the site were nice and tried to be helpful.
