I came to a pole class while on a trip- I'll definitely be back! Welcoming, supportive, multiple options for folks at different levels. I signed up for a class with experience needed and the studio reached out beforehand to check in with me to make sure I saw that, definitely going the extra mile. The instructor was very available for questions and did multiple demos. I felt right at home:)

Had an awesome experience here for a bachelorette party! We had a private class with Lucas who understood the assignment. It was the best yoga class I’ve ever attended. It was so chill and such a great activity for an active bachelorette party.

I’m so grateful I found this space about a year ago. Hustlercise is such a joyful workout. I feel like I’m sweating out toxins & shaking out the patriarchy! The choreo classes have reinvigorated my love of dance. The studio is full of energy and so welcoming. There’s a sense of community and acceptance. A true gem.

A very old friend told me about a dance exercise class here this morning, and I registered online really easily and showed up and had a blast and worked out super hard, which is exactly what I needed. Steph taught the class and I believe she was the owner of hustle and flow. It’s a wonderful high ceiling room with big wooden floors and a nice group of people, moving together to great music to be healthy. I’m visiting from Southern California and I wish I could take this class there!

I'm immensely grateful to have these varied cardio and yoga offerings conveniently located in the West End of Portland, and don't know what I'd do without them! Thanks so much, Hustle and Flow team! :)

It’s hard to pick only a few superlatives to describe how wonderful it is to exercise/dance alongside the playful, fun-loving steps in Hustle and Flow studio. I’ve never smiled so much while sweating so hard. Joyful, inspiring instructors, body-positive vibes, great music, perfect way to exercise and find community. Love this place.

I have been going to Hustle and Flow for a year and a half and I'm so happy about it. I walk home after class with a smile on my face. Where it's held has great energy with big windows, hard wood floors and the music we dance too is always on point! The owner, Steph, who teaches many classes is a gem! She's genuinely nice, and clearly enjoys what she does and offers her clients. Classes are fun and other instructors are also excellent. It's a positive vibe all around! I'm 'older' and I appreciate the age range and that all are welcomed. Lastly, the extra pop ups such as Sound Healing are special and also fantastic.

I’ve had great experiences in a variety of classes, and really love Hustlercise. Energetic, well paced, and dynamic moves for different body types and ages. Each week inspires me to push a little harder and each week I feel stronger (and catch on to more choreo). Love this space, and the instructors!

I’ve taken different classes with majority of the instructors over the past two months. Everyone at Hustle and Flow is warm and welcoming. This was very important to me. Exercising in public has always been hard for me mentally, when I was a plus size woman. After losing half my body weight in two years, that changed into not wanting to let people see my loose skin. I felt at ease from the first moment of my first class. I will say the full wall mirror was a mental challenge in the beginning. But not anymore!!
I have enjoyed every class I’ve taken so far. I would recommend taking Hustlercise with different instructors. They each teach it a little different and that’s part of the fun. No workout is the same unless you are doing the classes with a choreographed dance. And that changes monthly. Their pop up classes add a twisted flair to what they offer on a weekly bases. Always join a waitlist. People often have things come up and cancel. After two months I have what I call baby biceps, my squats are deeper, my body is more flexible, and feel those abs forming. Take a class, you will not regret it!!!

Awesome place for dance fitness and community. I’ve taken the dance tone flow, trampoline and hustlersize classes, and have enjoyed all of them. The community is open and welcoming for all, and you can just dance and let go while listening to fun music. A great alternative for people getting back into shape, you can modify the steps, and still be a part of the class. Great instructors with high energy as well. Highly recommend!

I love Hustle! I've been going to the studio for almost a year and it's been the best decision. I have met the most accepting and supportive people. It's body positive and completely inclusive. My confidence has grown tremendously since starting with Hustle. It's much different than other studios I've been to in that it genuinely has something for everyone. Want to focus on cardio? Strength? Yoga? Want to bounce on a trampoline? Want to dance with friends? Want to learn pole? Want to perform? Want to do figure drawing? You can do it all at Hustle. Never danced before? Not a problem! The classes are taught at an easily digestible speed and modifications are always an option. Try a class out! You will not be disappointed.

I love H&F!!! I started going to classes about two years ago and they’re my go-to whenever I need a self-confidence boost. They offer a wide variety of classes that range from athletically intense to relaxing and sensual but all share the same positive vibe that leaves me feeling 500% better about myself and my body. I never normally workout with my hair down but the hustlercize dance/aerobics style classes really help me lose myself in the moment and enjoy the endorphins afterwards. First and foremost though, the team of instructors made me feel at home and comfortable from the very first class. Can’t speak highly enough of this studio!!!

Hustle and flow is amazing!!! From my very first class, Stephanie (the owner and also an instructor) has been sooo friendly, warm, and welcoming. She literally remembers and knows everyone’s name! The other instructors are incredibly awesome and fun as well. It’s a really *inclusive* type of studio that makes you feel comfortable just being who you are/putting yourself out there (and it’s super fun!). Between choreographed dance workouts, trampoline workouts and even sound meditation classes, they offer a lot of variety and unique experiences. 10/10 recommend - I am new to Portland, and I’m so happy I found this studio!

I should’ve written a review long before this. I started taking classes in August 2022 and since then I have become extremely obsessed and try to go to as many classes as I can/ can afford!
Hustlercise was my first favorite, who doesn’t like dancing freely and the feeling after this class is a whole different type of happy/ high on life. I then started the chroeo classes Tuesday nights and love the routines and the time is perfect for after work.
I also branched out and took a few pole classes with Victoria and I love them! Whoever said pole was easy is lying, it works your muscles but in a sensual way. I enjoy feeling more connected and comfortable with my body and moving it in different ways is a different type of therapy.
So what I’m saying is take a look at what classes they offer and take the leap and sign up! It’s okay to go in alone and to be nervous! They will welcome you with open arms and make you feel safe and comfortable to be yourself. I don’t know why I waited so long to go but lord I’m very happy I scrounged up the courage to step into a hustlercise class one summer morning in august 💗

This studio is where a person goes to find themself. I have never entered such a supportive celebratory empowering space in my life. While how your body changes seems irrelevant when you go here (which is a feat for an exercise space) I was in the best shape of my life after attending classes for a summer. Find your people. Find yourself.

A friend of mine referred me to this studio and I was quite excited to attend because I’d heard good things. My friend and I signed up for the same class at the same time. She found out days later that she was waitlisted. I contacted the studio a day before our class and tried to see if we could get a refund or transfer our funds to another class we could take together. I never received a response until the day of about two hours before our class time, telling me that a spot was available but I needed to reach out to my friend about the spot, even though they already had her information. Because of scheduling conflicts and work emergencies we figured it would be best to stick with what we had wanted, scheduling a different class and just transferring my spot to that class. I let the owner know and instead was told that they had a 12 hour cancellation policy, even though I responded saying we had originally asked to refund and reschedule far before the 12-hour window. So because THEY took too long to respond to me they decided it was fair to keep my money for the class. Definitely will not be rescheduling another class with them again unless the situation is resolved.

There aren't enough stars to give or superlatives to lavish upon this special studio. It's an open, friendly, easy-going community of people (both teachers and students) who care a lot about what they're doing and put heart and soul into it, but don't take themselves too seriously. Starting dance classes as an adult was an intimidating prospect, but not after I walked into Hustle and Flow. Right away I knew this was my place when we laughed as much as we danced and learned. It's really special. Whether you're looking for dance or any other kind of movement class they offer, you should give it a shot.

As a Portland transplant, I was just looking for a place to dance. My first time at H&F I was nervous, but right when I stepped in to the warm and inviting studio, everyone made me feel so welcome.

I love this studio and community!! I moved to Portland and was looking for a way to meet people and get a little more fitness in my life, and oh my goodness did Hustle and Flow deliver!!! Everyone was super friendly from the start and the classes are so physically and creatively fulfilling. I highly recommend the beginner special where you can try all different kinds of classes to decide what you like!

I ended up becoming obsessed with the beat drop, hustle heels, and hustle feels classes! Steph and Alyx are incredible choreographers who make learning dance so easy and fun. They also make it super comfortable for any level, because you don’t have to be “perfect.” As long as you feel good doing it, you are doing it right 🙌

Also, the whole class is on your side! Get ready for lots of cheering and woo-ing along with the other dancers. I definitely recommend starting at the first week of the month so you can learn that month’s dance fresh with everyone. They go over it every week, but you’ll be shocked by how much your body remembers by week 2!

If you’ve been thinking about it, give Hustle and Flow a try! We have the most fun 🥳✨

Before Hustle and Flow, I was never very consistent or committed to my exercise practice. I'd stick with something for a season and then it would taper off. These classes, like their instructors, are unique and creative and the right level of challenging. The environment feels safe and welcoming. A variety of offerings allows you to stick with the safe and familiar, or get out of your comfort zone and try something new. I've been coming to classes regularly for over a year now, and the impact on my body and mind is enormously positive.

I have been attending classes and events through H+F for a year, and I am not being hyperbolic when I say that it has changed my life for the better in ways I never expected. I'm stronger, more flexible and more physically capable of all kinds of movement than I've been in years - at 40, I'm in better shape than I was for most of my 30's. I love taking the Buti, Abs and Assana, Hustlercize and Yang Bang classes, they are totally brutal and totally fun at the same time. What was unexpected was the mental and emotional effects of showing up to H+F - this kind of workout does wonders for alleviating depression and anxiety, and having this community of powerful, interesting and supportive women is comforting and empowering. I just *feel* better. Steph, Carla and the rest of the leaders at H+F are very body-positive, but in a way that does not feel contrived or forced on you. And of course, it's just fun as hell to move around to crazy loud music, no matter what. This studio is all about honoring both the light and dark - and every shade in between - of your inner spirit, and instead of a bunch of rhetoric about being our "best selves" or "living our best lives," it's just more about being authentic and moving and laughing and enjoying your body, drawing the hidden forces from deep within to guide us in our daily lives.

Hustle & Flow is soooo much more than a yoga studio. There are a variety of classes from high energy hip hop dance to buti yoga with body rolling. With fabulous instructors & music, you will never get bored with your workout routine... plus it's a really fun place to bring friends;)

I've been lucky to call H&F my second living room for over two years now and I'm pretty confident in saying it has changed me body and soul. I was no stranger to a good sweat before, but these classes have culled out a strength in my body I wouldn't have known I could possess before. Sweat, wet and going like a turbo jet is what you get and that's not even delving into the endorphin strut you take out with you, empowering every aspect of yourself, and literally everything you do. If you want an incredible workout that is also super fun with complete inclusion (read; ZERO yoga ego) and non-judgement, this is your place. Every time I leave it's with, some miraculous how, a different and new appreciation for the people who make this place so special and exciting, the fun of the class itself and for the heights my body and spirit reach derivative of being here. Namastizzle!!

It’s hard to describe all of the ways that going to this studio has moved my life in positive directions. I began coming here a year and half ago looking for a different way to get a full body workout. Buti is not only an amazing work out but has transformed the way I live in my body each moment with more presence and more confidence. The yoga classes and dance classes are also amazing ways to connect with my body and with the community at the studio. This is an amazing space and welcoming community with extremely knowledgeable and helpful instructors. All of that being said, it’s also just a really good time.

I took tap, jazz and clogging for years as a kid, but stopped once I reached middle school.
For the past ten years I have mostly remained seated. I’ve been sitting on the couch watching movies or shows, and sitting in a computer chair working on producing music and discovering new music to enjoy. Music is my passion!
The only exercise I have received in these past ten years has come from working in the automotive industry and food industry, and has consisted mostly of heavy lifting, walking, and running up and down stairs.
My whole body had begun cramping up and experiencing increasing random pains daily. I decided it was time to change my health status, and being 31 years old, I knew I couldn’t afford to sit around for another ten years.
I began my journey into Buti Yoga by searching online for a hip hop style dance class. I knew I found the pace and style of movement I was looking for after seeing the promo video for Hustle and Flow’s studio, which featured the type of high energy music I am motivated by. I figured that while dancing to music that energizes and motivates me I would not only learn some dance moves but would also get a good exercise! I bought the 10 class pass and made my best effort to attend all 10 classes offered with the pass. Some days I even tried two classes! However, from the very first class I attended, I knew I was moving in the right direction.
Nearly two months later and I’m hooked. I’ve finally found something I enjoy that pushes and challenges me!
I now have an increased interest in dance and a growing interest in basic yoga; and in health, fitness and overall wellness. I’m drinking straight water now, eating smarter, and focusing on removing toxic elements from my body and environment.
I am also able to discover new music while in class!
The instructors at Hustle and Flow are vibrant, inspiring and welcoming. Each has a unique take on Buti, and each has excellent taste in music that is played in class. Through Buti yoga I have discovered a deeper connection to the music that I listen to and have discovered a love for dance and yoga style workouts.
I can only imagine a studio better than Hustle and Flow that I could attend because there isn’t one.
Thank you Hustle and Flow!

I could write a book about how much I love this studio, but I'll try to keep this review as short as I can! I recently moved to Portland, ME, and I was introduced to Hustle and Flow (formerly Bhakti in Motion) by a friend. From the very first class, I knew I had found a real gem of a studio. The space itself is open, earthy, and filled with light, and the West End location is really convenient. However, what really keeps me coming back again and again are the amazing instructors and variety of classes. Hustle and Flow has yoga, buti yoga, and dance classes, which is perfect because I can get strength, stretching, and a more meditative focus in the yoga classes, and lots of butt-kicking cardio and all-out fun with the buti and dance classes. Being able to do so many different workouts each week in one location (and one monthly pass) is really wonderful during the Maine winters when I'm not so motivated to work out outside!

I really cannot say enough about the instructors. I had taken yoga classes here and there over the years, but I'd never had a regular practice and I'd never even heard of buti before finding Hustle and Flow. The instructors are so open, welcoming, and knowledgeable that I actually want to work out, and I now I go to class--Willingly! With a smile on my face!--about five or six times a week. The instructors always offer modifications for those who are newer to the practice, but they aren't afraid to push students into harder poses or make us sweat in buti when they think we're ready. It's apparent that they love what they do and where they work, and because of their great attitude, Hustle and Flow doesn't have the elitist, competitive air that some yoga studios take on. My fellow students are encouraging and motivating, and I always feel like I'm part of a community in every class.

Some yoga studios take themselves so seriously you never feel like you're getting a good workout because you're too much in your own head, wondering if you're meditating and breathing the "right" way. Other studios don't take themselves seriously enough so you completely lose the spiritual and meditative aspects of yoga. I don't know how they do it, but as different as all their instructors are, the thread that runs through every class is the mind-body connection and the perfect balance of work and play. I'm not surprised if I laugh, shake my booty, do pushups in full lotus pose, practice breath work, get encouraged to go into crow pose, listen to Beyonce or to one of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and meditate deeply-- and maybe all in the same class!

I'll end with this shallow yet ridiculously motivating observation: My body and my booty have never looked better! I know that self-confidence comes from the inside out, but I don't mind one bit that Hustle and Flow has given me a self-esteem boost that comes from the outside in! Thank you!

I am completely addicted to Buti Yoga! I'm so grateful for this warm, welcoming, uplifting community of women (and a few great men) to practice something I've fallen so deeply in love with. Everyone is welcoming, the classes are challenging and incredibly fun, and I'm so grateful to have access to this incredible resource just down the street. Thank you for making it so fun and pleasurable to stay in shape!

Bkakti in Motion has a variety of dynamic classes run by inspirational, independent instructors. The large studio room is a versatile community space with hardwood floors and a spiritual, rustic vibe. For yoga classes there are mats and accessories available for use. The social atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, yet down to earth and respectful. The location on Brackett Street is ideal for the West End neighborhood and there's easy parking, especially in the evening and on weekends.
