This was my first visit to the studio, and while the space itself is very nice, my experience with the instructor, Jasmine, was disappointing. Although she was not rude, she also was not warm or welcoming. She did not introduce herself, did not assign me a pole, and began stretching without any announcement. I was not given a mat, the warm-up was very brief, and she only stretched one side before having us attempt splits, which felt very unsafe.

My primary concern was the class style. The class was advertised as sexy/exotic movement, but Jasmine taught a hip-hop routine instead. She even mentioned that we were performing the choreography as if we were a male character from a Ciara music video, meaning the movement was intentionally masculine. This did not align with the class description, and it was disappointing—especially after driving 30 minutes specifically for a sexy movement class.

Additionally, when I asked for pole grip, she said there was none available, even though I saw some in her bag. Another student ultimately had to lend me theirs. Overall, Jasmine did not seem attentive, prepared, or aligned with what was advertised for the class.

Went with my best friend after talking about taking a pole class for years and we both had the best time!!! KO was a fantastic teacher and taught us so much in such a short period of time!

This is an amazing studio with an amazing community. The teachers are so patient, nice, and reassuring. You can learn a lot very quickly if you're open to it. This experience has majorly boosted my confidence and self love. I had a lovely time learning pole and chair dance 💕

I tried the chair, dancing class and intro to pole. They were both great the support and community you can feel in every class and the teachers are so positive and helpful that you feel accomplished even after one class. The space is beautiful and the activity itself is addicting.

I walked into Kelly’s class feeling soooo nervous - I am a plus size girl standing at 5’1 and 270ish pounds.

Kelly was AMAZING with providing modifications for me to try. The stretching/warm up was challenging, but doable; the fact that I was able to do most of the stretches serves as a testament to how inclusive the class is. Kelly did not push me to go past my limits, no toxic positivity. She was funny and engaging, there’s definitely a “girl power” aura in class. I got a good workout and was even able to do some spins! As someone who lives a sedentary lifestyle and is trying to make healthy changes, build confidence and connection to their body, and embrace their femininity, I really appreciated my first class at North Shore and will be returning.

Thank you!! 💗

It's been awhile since I've been here, but all my experiences here have been great. The people in my classes were friendly, the staff was always fun to be around, and everyone had different styles that always gave my new insight into different moves and new ways to do things. This place is fab! 😘

I have been a patron and employee of North Shore Pole Fitness since 2016. Dorian is an amazing person and studio owner. The studio is clean, organized, well managed, and a positive work environment. I also attend classes and I enjoy every single instructor I have had classes with. The culture is fun, accepting, and positive and we always have a lot of laughs. This studio is so much more than just a Pole Dance Studio; it is a community, a family, and a support system and is always welcoming. I love NSPF!

I have been coming to North Shore since they opened over ten years ago. The business owner, Dorian Brown took me in as one of her own and I never left. Here, I found a one of a kind family who loves and supports me unconditionally. No matter how consistent or inconsistent I am there is a team here that ALWAYS welcomes me back with open arms.

I have been even more shocked and surprised when I learn how to do something I never thought my body could; learning to let go of fear and trust myself. This form of workout tackles all issues for me; physical, mental, and spiritual.

I have taken most all classes and love that there is always an opportunity for growth as a dancer, as a creative, and as someone who just wants to build strength in their body. One of my favorite times every year is the showcase where I am able to share a piece of myself through dance.

I would be so lost without this place and have so much gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of this community. There is really no other workout like the one you get here and there is no other community like the one you will find here.

Ive been going here for about a year and a half now and I love it! The community is filled with supportive instructors and students. Everyone wants you to succeed and they help give you the tools to do so. You gain so much strength as you work on fitness, but there’s also classes that focus on sensuality and flow. I’ve gained so much confidence from being here. People want to be here and it shows. 10/10 ❤️

Great teachers who are really good people but very unprofessional and rude owner with no business ettiequte or boundaries at all. Will blow up your phone, have your teachers give you personal or private messages to you about your account, Gossips about the clients IN class in front of other students. It's like a whole ecosystem and if you bother the cult leader, the whole environment changes lol. Over all a good place to try pole and learn though only because instructors that work here.
(this review is about the business and not the classes itself. If I were to rate the classes individually by teacher, this would be very different and would mostly be 4-5 stars)

Truly love the studio and the space it creates. I want to see the studio continue to thrive and succeed! Some thoughts to help elevate the experience for students:
- Diversify teachers, seek instructors that represent the diverse community attending classes.
-Provide a transparent curriculum for students to understand their goals to advance to the next level.
-Embrace origins of pole and celebrate your individual sensuality! Pole goes beyond fitness; expression comes in all styles of movement.
-Encourage teachers to continue their training so they confidently and safely demo new moves for students, inspiring them to continue their training.
-Run monthly observations for teachers to ensure the quality and structure of class is consistent across the board.
-Rotate teachers through different classes they qualify for. Providing different instructors for the same class type exposes students to alternative instructing styles, perspectives and adds variety to our strength and conditioning.

Hopefully some of the above can come to fruition to help us students enhance our training! Can't wait for my next class :)

the was my first ever dance class, I've always wanted to try pole, its so elegant, but its definitely not easy, I attended the intro class with Crystal and she was just so amazing! the warm up was great, excellent modifications, she was so encouraging and just so fun. I'm usually a shy person but she made the entire experience so welcoming and fun. the most outstanding experience of having Crystal was her asking permission and explaining what she was going to do before touching me, in a time when consent is brushed over, as a woman i appreciated this more than anything. I've never been one to enjoy working out but i cant wait to go back !! 10/10 would recommend. And she was right I am sore!

Such a warm and inviting studio! This was my first encounter with 50mm poles (they have 45mms too don't worry ;). I have never been as sore as I was after my first time coming... I took Dorian's class- what a great workout! Also used to take lyra classes which were awesome and even tried silks once. Great instructors and classes all around :) . I don't live in New England anymore, but I try to stop by when I am in town. And sometimes when they are in FL -- I shared accommodation at PoleCon in Orlando a few years back :)

I’ve been a part of this studio since 2013. It has become my second home. I have made a lot of memories there and have cried a few tears. I love that this studio is all about empowering both men and women. I love going to class and having the support that I need from both the instructors and other students. We all cheer each other on. We uplift each other. We love and support one another. There is never a bad vibe or bad energy.

If you’re looking for a new hobby or something that is challenging and fun, I would recommend you swing by and give NSPF a try.

Not like any other studio, the atmosphere here is unmatched: one giant Pole family. You'll find the ladies here are so passionate about what they teach! Pole, silks, floor work, and more! They welcome beginners and veterans alike and the prices are fair, especially if you purchase several sessions in advance... You will easily become addicted. If you read all the instructions on the website before deciding to give it a go and are still confused, just call them up and Dorian or any instructor will be jazzed to tell you what's up.

Apparently my presence annoyed a few of the women in this studio, or perhaps I wasn’t worthy of being there during “open studio” because of my lack of experience in any event it’s really not the difficult to be cordial,
I made the best of my time there, but it was uncomfortable nonetheless...........

I love this place! I’ve been taking multiple classes a week for about 7 months now. Everyone here, instructors and students, are so supportive and welcoming. It feels so good to learn and accomplish new things and it’s way more fun than going to the gym! Taking these classes really do make you feel so good about yourself. I’d 100% recommend North Shore Pole Fitness to anyone!

I've been attending classes here (aerial silks, Lyra, and aerial yoga) for over a year. The instructors are amazing and very supportive. They tailor each class to the level of the students attending, which is great. The class limit it very small, so you really get close instruction and lots of time on the apparatus. Overall this studio has been like a second home to me and I can't recommend it highly enough!
