I started going to classes at Gilded a few months ago and have had an amazing time! The instructors are all very fun while also being very knowledgeable, there are a variety of classes varying by skill progression and interest, and the small class size ensures you can see/hear instruction clearly.

I've taken up a variety of fitness disciplines in my life to try and connect with my body, and there's something truly special about the sensuality and strength of pole dancing that can't be replicated elsewhere. This studio really represents everything amazing that pole has to offer. I've had a number of different instructors here, having taken most of my classes with Nicky and with the studio owner Jess as well as with Lux, and I am SO grateful this was my first ever experience with a pole dancing studio. The teaching techniques may vary, but everyone is incredibly kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and super attentive to all students of all different levels. I've basically left every single one of my classes smiling; we have a LOT of fun here. And it's always an amazing workout.

The pricing and scheduling is incredibly convenient and the variety of courses offered give a little something for everyone. I've been coming here for close to three months, I think. I'm excited to keep attending!

So fun, so welcoming, so joyful. I had a great experience here taking a burlesque dance class. Jinx is so warm and playful and such an excellent teacher. I’m really glad to find a pole/burlesque studio that offers some sensual dance alternatives to having to climb the pole, which doesn’t work for my body. Can’t wait to go back!

Really warm, welcoming space. Love the Palestine support on the bulletin board, and immediately felt at home with all the different mods & support from the instructor, Nicky. The class that was in on Monday was super kind, and made me feel ready for more. Incredible first-time experience— would genuinely suggest for everyone interested.

I set up persona training sessions with Jess and I’ve also rented studio space at Gilded. Super easy to book and the training sessions were phenomenal. Jessica did so much research about my particular disability and increased my strength and mobility more than any pt ever had. I love this place.

I learned so much about burlesque from Jynx at Gilded. Anything from feather fans to pole to floorwork you will not find it all under another single roof in Boston. Professional and kind atmosphere speaking from years of great experiences there (since 2019, both online and in person instruction)

Jynx is a phenomenal instructor. Specifically if you identify as a disabled person the instructors here are amazing at teaching alternatives without dismissing me as a student. As someone with fluctuating ability levels but a drive to want to improve I can't recommend the staff here for Pole, stretch and dance enough

If I could leave 0 stars I would. The communication is horrible! I sent a message inquiring about a class for my birthday and it took weeks for Jessica to respond. She said she would give me a call to finalize and didn't. Two weeks later she said she couldn't speak on the phone and sent me a link to pay the deposit. I paid the deposit and received no further communication. On the day of, the door was locked, and I received a text stating she couldn't speak once again and would look into why I wasn't on the books! Absolutely unprofessional! Give me my money back NOW.

RUN NOW!

I checked out Intro to Sensual Flow with J/Moanczar Z. The professionalism was on point but what really stood out was their balance of structured guidance, affirmative support, and encouragement of finding my own expression. Nothing was overwhelming, any needs I had were quickly, easily, and properly accommodated. The 1 hr class was on par with a high end somatic therapy session. Will look forward to returning.

So I was super unsure about trying pole at first but it was on my bucket list so I figured why not? Honestly it's been so amazing I just keep buying passes after 6 months! Jess is such a fun and welcoming presence as an instructor - she never pushes people to do anything they aren't comfortable with, always provides modifications and makes sure everyone at every level is supported.

Every class I get stronger, and master things I wasn't able to do before- it's not even sexual/sexy for me but my body feels more like my own than it ever did before.

It's awesome- give it a try!

This was my first lesson at the studio and i really enjoyed it. I will probably book more classes there.

I took a beginner burlesque group class and enjoyed it a lot!

The studio is typical of what you would expect in a dance studio, it's well-maintained, clean and pleasant.

The instructor's demonstration is clear and beautiful to look at. The acting tips are especially great -- for example, certain movement needs to be executed quickly, contrasting with certain slow moments, to create an intriguing dance.

I have been SO keen on trying out any type of pole class for the longest time (3 years counting). I am so so so glad I found Gilded Studio thru ClassPass. I took the Intro to Floor Work class with Buster and I was immediately comfortable and so excited to learn. The class was NOT intimidating whatsoever-- even though this was my first time doing any sort of dance class in a studio as an adult-- the choreo was easy to pick up and so much fun to learn. I cannot wait to come back. PERDIODT

Jessica is an incredible trainer. She kept things interesting, and kept me motivated towards the goals we discussed. I still continue what I learned with her long after we finished working together. Miss my semi-weekly sessions!

I went to my first class today and has no idea what to expect. I had a great time and recommend attending a class here. Jessica was such a great instructor and really took the time to help you and provide you with individual attention. Lastly again I highly recommend attending a class here !

Gilded has been so incredible for my relationship to exercise and my body. With a spine injury I was afraid I'd never be able to dance in a way that felt safe, but Jess has been so supportive in finding alternatives or encouraging me in a way that's felt safe and affirming. Having another queer person who always addresses me in a way that feels good has made me excited to come back week to week, and helped me enjoy movement because of how it feels rather than any weight loss goals.

I started working with Jessica via her online zoom sessions about 4 weeks ago.

I have been working from home for 7 months, due Covid/ Shelter in Place. My normal workout routine had fallen by the wayside.

And my workstation was not set up ergonomically. Muscles atrophied a bit, especially my butt (glutes)!

My girlfriend Alex recommended Jessica to help save my butt.

Jessica has come up with fantastic exercises and stretches for my routine, which are producing results. She is great with communicating what is happening and why. She can see when my form is off and tells me how to correct it.

I’m really glad to be working with her.

I trained with Jessica for over two years. She absolutely changed not only my body but also my life! At age 40, she thought me how to integrate exercise into my life and how to appreciate the power of my body. She truly listens the needs of her clients, pays full attention to the form, and educate her clients while training. The most I miss though is her lovely smile and our conversations.

Jessica is sharp eyed when it comes to proper form, and clear eyed about assessing needs and planning regimens. She’s motivational, but also fun. I highly recommend her.

I started doing online personal training with Jessica and it's been amazing! I'm disabled with many health issues and they were always able to tailor a workout for my needs. With great communication and flexibility for what I can accomplish, I've started to build up much needed strength and stamina. I feel better for days after a workout instead of getting injured like I have with other training facilities. My health is in good hands with Jessica and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I met Jessica (aka Jynx, the business owner) while taking workout classes in San Francisco. I enjoyed her fun and focused style so much that I began personal training. Jess has taught me SO much over the years. I am now in my 50's (gasp) and Jess has done an amazing job of working with some of my physical limitations while pushing me to work harder than I thought possible. She also helped my husband get back to his old self after hip and shoulder surgery. We both love Jess!
When Jess moved away to Boston, I was sad, but I am super happy now that I can take workout classes with her online again. Jess is curious and smart about the human anatomy. She is always looking to help her clients reach their goals in a goofy/fun and non-judgmental way. (Also, she LOVES puns.) Cannot recommend enough!!

I absolutely LOVE Gilded! The space itself is beautiful (and conveniently located, yes), but the biggest asset is definitely Jess/Jynx's incredible knowledge and passion for fitness for -every- body.

The classes are both challenging and lots of fun. They have a deep understanding of the complexity of each individual's movement and ensures that they tailor their classes in such a way that the class is challenging for any level of fitness without being overwhelming.

I've also been working with Jess/Jynx in personal training for the past several months, and the difference has been huge. As someone who was very physically active but constantly getting injured due to lack of proper form/general bodily awareness, I've already noticed a marked change in my strength and endurance (and my lower back is so much less painful!!!!).

Between this and then deeply positive environment they foster for you to grow in, I really cannot recommend Gilded enough.

I have worked with the proprietor of Gilded Studio for many years. They definitely know how to achieve results based on the needs of the individual by utilizing their knowledge of the human body. My understanding of my own body and my personal goal of being more flexible (overcoming issues related to tightness and bad posture) has improved. Ask for Jessica by name.
