My first class here was really fun: an awesome experience from walking in the door through the cool down. The vibes are warm and welcoming, it smells really good and it is super clean. I am a total beginner and just wanted to try out something different, and the class really accommodated that. Highly recommend if you want to try it out, no need to be intimidated like I was!

These guys are amazing! I took almost all their beginner classes this week and every instructor was super friendly and accommodating. It’s also clearly diverse in both backgrounds (race nationality etc) body types and ability levels. Everyone is made to feel welcome.

Also you can definitely tell the instructors are highly trained and standardized. I’ve seen 4-5 teachers and while they all have their personality and style, there’s uniformity and standards that’s they’re clearly trained in.

The facilities are also great! The big class has so many poles that I don’t think you ever have to share one. lol that means no breaks.

If you’re visiting for the first time i definitely recommend leaving some time to get there with plenty of padding time. They have a nice lounge you can chill in before class the area is busy/building slightly confusing for first time visitors.

I have been taking classes here for six months here, and I have loved my experience! There are a huge variety of classes to choose from, for all levels of fitness. The instructors are knowledgeable and professional and want their students to succeed. The studio is beautiful, and well maintained. They usually have candles or incense burning in the lobby, which adds to the experience. I can’t recommend this studio enough, I’m looking forward to the next six months :D

I've been a member of Ecole de Pole Cleveland for two years and have loved every second of it! The studio is warm and welcoming to everyone regardless of skill level or background.

There is a great mix of class types and instructors. In addition to pole classes, I enjoy also having access to stretch, conditioning, choreography, aerial yoga, Buti yoga, and more.

I highly recommend Ecole de Pole Cleveland to anyone with an interest in exploring aerial sports, even if (like me 2 years ago) you've never tried it before! It's an excellent way to build strength and confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

I have been going to EDP since October. Never tried pole before and was very nervous to start. All I can say is I am so happy I did. I was reassured from the moment I walked in and fell in love immediately. Everyone from all the instructors to fellow students have been nothing but kind and supportive. It’s such a great community with experienced and knowledgeable instructors and staff. EDP is such a gem and I am so happy to have found it. A great time and workout is guaranteed. I also appreciate how much they prioritize your safety and your progression! Give it a try you won’t regret it!

I absolutely LOVED my first ever aerial class with Sam. I was referred by a friend and was super nervous, but Sam made all of us newbies feel at home and helped us all navigate our first go with the hammocks. I had so much fun, I never felt out of place or awkward, and I can’t wait to go back. ❤️ thank you so much Sam!!!

Absolutely no qualms about taking money for nothing. I paid $125 for 2 classes. It’s a pole class not boot camp, students shouldn’t be punished for being late. They have no respect for their customers

Emailing and asking for a refund of the $25 when I’ve already paid $100 is not “flying off the handle”.
As per my first comment, they like to take your money and then respond with lengthy discourses of how they are justified in doing so.

They greet you by name and check in via text which is great for personal accountability. There is so much body positivity and diversity at EDP and I felt very comfortable as a beginner. The classes are in a group setting but each instructor adds personal coaching and challenges you to improve your technique. I love this place! Very unique style of working out and buti yoga is lit!

!!New Members Beware!! READ the contract completely and sleep on it before signing up. Don’t make the same horrible costly mistake I made. If you end up not liking the studio or need to downgrade package because life happens, you will be hit with a ton of cancellation fees and/or downgrade fees if you try that route instead of straight cancellation. I really wanted to like the place but after a couple short months, I didn’t enjoy going. I’m not one for confrontation so admittedly I didn’t say something immediately but after a few months of paying $200 a month and never going, I finally had the courage to give my feedback to the owner who basically chewed me a new one for giving honest feedback on my PERSONAL experience. Please note, I’m in no way saying just because I didn’t fit their standards doesn’t mean that someone else couldn’t.

Long story short, READ THE CONTRACT that’s all I’m saying. Don’t get caught up in the moment of starting a new pole adventure and forget to read EVERYTHING. This mistake will cost you thousands if you end up having to make adjustments to the contract.

I am so glad I found Ecole de Pole online. I have always been hesitant about taking pole classes because of my shyness and feeling like I don’t belong. But here. There’s none of that. Everyone is equal! And everyone has fun! Great fitness too. They teach you to be the best even if you can’t complete the moves. They remind you that the skills will come. Which i have noticed in 45 days. Megan and Rachel are the owners and are great. Ashley is my favorite instructor for beginners class. THANKS ECOLE DE POLE!! I highly recommend

I started taking classes here in March when I moved to Cleveland for school. I had gained a lot of weight from college and was not in a good state physically or mentally. I’m a middle school and high school teacher full time and coming to the studio pushed me to stop making my job my only priority and work on my body again. Since I’ve started in aerial class, I’ve lost 50 pounds, and I’m significantly stronger. I wanted to share my review since you guys deserve it. I’m now working on my aerial yoga certification this winter in Akron because of y’all. Thanks guys, every instructor I've had here is baller.

I purchased my first pole package back in April of this year, and as soon as I finished it up in June I signed up for a membership. The only reason I’ve waited so long to post a review is because I honestly find it hard to articulate how insanely amazing this place is. It’s good for your mental health, physical health, and everything in between. If you’re on the fence, sign up for a class TODAY! You will not regret it!

I really enjoy the wide variety of classes Ecole de Pole offers, however I wish they could add Lyra to the mix! It's a welcoming, homey space that leaves bias and negativity at the door. I'm definitely somebody that benefits from a more class-oriented style of exercise, the social interaction and being able to shown proper form is extremely important.
Their class memberships are on a tiered scale, there's a level for everyone. I've really been enjoying my time there.

I never considered pole fitness to be such great source of exercise, but after working up a man sized sweat my first day I can tell you confidently that I can seize the day with both hands instead of just gingerly tap it on the shoulder. It actually reminds me of the self discipline, elegance and stamina required for ballet. The instructors there were extremely patient, friendly and helpful on my first day. If your looking for a boost of confidence I suggest using a pole

My experience was terrible. I booked this beginners pole class to see what the studio was like before I decided to sign up for a membership. It was a $25 drop in class that had a $15 late fee if you didn’t show up to you appointment after 9 minutes. My class started at 4:15 and I got there at 4:21. I called the place to tell them that I was having trouble parking and would be a little late, they said that it was fine. When I got in there she said that I was not able to attend because they started warm ups already. I was there before the 9 minute late mark but I was still charged the $15 late fee and they did not let me reschedule. This place is very unprofessional and money hungry. I usually don’t leave reviews but I had to share this.

I never thought that I can dance or make cool tricks on pole.. Oh God! I were sooo wrong!
I also want to mention that now I have pretty nice and strong abs, splits and of course more confidence ( still working on it )!!!
All trainers are professionals and they make sure you understand what to do. the most important thing that they care about your safety! They always there for you.
Love you guys!!! All the best to you and your studio!!!❤️❤️❤️

Within the first couple minutes of coming to my first class, I overheard the owners mentioning how they want to remove gendered bathrooms signs and said "because everyone is more than just their gender" and that was huge to me, then in the first class the instructor knew everyone's names and remembered all the new students names and that means a lot to not only have these classes but to try and remember the names and personalities of everyone there. It truly feels like a safe environment with no judgment and I've never felt bad about my size or weight or how I looked.

This will always be my home studio. No other studio has the same energy, love, and compassion as this one. The owners Meg and Rachel work tirelessly at both teaching and owning the studio and do a fantastic job. I have had the pleasure of being in classes with all of the teachers and can say they are all amazing, qualified, great teachers, and actually take the time so that you learn and grow. As one of the youngest polers in the studio, I can say how blessed I am to have started pole here. Megan and Rachel, as well as the others in the studio, are all incredible role models for me as a poler and a person and I greatly look up to them. Pole here has been one of the best things i’ve ever done!!!

I recently became a member at Ecole de Pole, about a year after starting my pole fitness journey. I have experience taking both in-person classes at two other area studios as well as an array of virtual classes. So I'm confident in saying I've found Ecole de Pole to truly excel at a progression-based approach: ensuring you establish the foundational skills and strength you need at each experience level before you progress to the next level. The instructors approach conditioning and training with a high degree of professionalism and knowledge, really focusing on proper form, technique and safety.

All in all, I feel very welcomed and safe practicing at this studio, and find the staff to be highly skilled, passionate and invested in my personal goals. They also take a supportive stance to the greater pole community at large. I feel no discord with regard to me continuing to engage in other studio's classes or virtual lessons along the way.

Lastly, I appreciate both the variety and high quality of their current virtual class offerings in light of COVID-19. I don't feel I'm losing out on anything when I'm not physically in the studio with these classes, receiving plenty of individualized attention from the instructors. It's been the push I've needed to get back to a solid practice in quarantine!

After about 5 years of pole dancing, I was looking for a studio that could take my training to the next level. Ecole de Pole Cleveland has been such an inclusive and professional place to take classes! Their student population is very diverse, which I think proves their welcoming environment. The instruction has been top notch. The teachers are committed to providing progressions and regressions for tricks to ensure you get the most out of class. The teachers are also exceptional at spotting, so new moves always feel safe to try. I come out of every class with a fresh perspective on technique and so many drills, tricks and combos to work on at home. I feel so supported in accomplishing my goals, especially since the owners take personal responsibility in helping each student achieve.
