I've been attending this new location for Diva Den for over a year now and am thrilled by the changes my health and fitness have made since regularly taking classes. The classes offered have a wide variety and the instructors are knowledgeable, have amazing choreography, fun energizing music are all inclusive and kind. The members are welcoming and intentional at building community. This is the place to go for any body, any skill/level and the cost for membership is so affordable for what you get. The owner, Shawn and her staff do a good job at maintaining the facility and are kind and approachable. I've made new friends that have transitioned to outside the gym for fun adventures. I never get bored of the classes as the instructors do such a great job keeping it fresh. Would give it 10 stars if I could. I encourage to you try a week for free and take as many of the classes as you can to see the wide range of styles available.

The Diva Den is located at Shawn Gardner Dance studio and I can't speak more highly about it! Wide variety of classes, phenomenal instructors, and beautiful venue. The community you will find here helps makes it stand out above all other fitness venues. It truly is an inclusive environment. The Diva Den community has brought so much joy to my life. Hope to see you on the dance floor!

Four years ago my friend suggested a local studio she had heard about for Zumba. Little did I realize that Diva Den would soon change my life in a big way. It would become like a second home and the instructors, friends that I look forward to seeing week after week.
We have sampled many great classes over the years, and believe me there has been MANY, but our weekly favorites are yoga, barre, Pilates, WERK, TurnUp, Zumba, and DPH. Aside from the classes, there have been great workshops (self defense, yoga and meditation), much appreciated on-site childcare, and a supportive and friendly staff.
It is a welcoming and safe place for women to work on their minds and bodies. I recommend Diva Den to any woman who asks, and if you are reading this, first weeks free - push out of your comfort zone and you might find something really special.

Laurel did such a great job instructing me through my very first pole class as well as creating a comfortable environment! Happy to say the Covid protocols they have in place made it not only enjoyable but also safe. Genuinely looking forward to joining the 101 course!

I joined Diva Den in November 2017 and really enjoyed the workouts and instructors. I've always appreciated the variety of classes and the instructors who pushed me to do my best. It wasn't until I couldn't go for two+ months due to the pandemic that I realized how much more than a gym Diva Den is for me. It's an incredible community of strong, supportive women and I'm so grateful to be a part of it! Give Diva Den a try - you won't be disappointed!

I am new to Portland and I have been researching dance/fitness studios to join. I am delighted to have found this awesome studio! Their schedule offers a tremendous variety of classes. From fitness, dance, yoga, pole dancing, pilates. etc..there is something for everyone. I just had my first Barre Mixer class with Jody and it was AMAZING! With her warm and friendly personality, she immediately made me feel welcomed. She is a fabulous instructor with a gift for making working out engaging and fun!

This studio is fantastic. The classes are extremely high quality and the instructors they have are very good at what they do. Paid childcare Mon-Fri, & classes every day of the week. Great place to have fun while working out. Pole dance, sexy dance classes, fitness intensive classes, targeted fitness classes. All you really need 😍❤️ you also join a great community of women - there is something magical about being able to go to an all female gym - it’s relaxing, safe and positive. Great place to learn and get your workouts done.

The instructor made sure the class was fun, while also challenging for any level of fitness! She always makes sure to suggest modifications, which I need sometimes! The facility is so great, as well! The staff are all so friendly, and everything is always so clean and inviting!

I enjoyed the easy going attitude of the staff and other participants. The Hip-Hop style class was a blast, even though my first class was challenging for me. I'm glad the lights were down low and the music was up! I will be returning tonight for a Zumba class during my free week.

While my experience at the diva den has been short to this point, I will say that my experience has been 100% satisfactory. From reception, to instructors, to clientele, everybody has been very nice and welcoming and helpful. The space is clean and inviting and the services offered are varied and interesting.
I really wanted to give diva den a 5 star rating but I had to knock it down because they don't have showers. I'm sorry, but I would LOVE to be able to shower after a workout and put on clean clothes so that I can go out into the greater community and finish my shopping.
With all of the options that they offer for ladies in the community I would say that there is definitely something for everybody here. With daycare, nails, microdermabrasion, personal training... Yeah it just goes on and on!
Great big shout-out to the diva den!

There should be a Diva Den in every city. I am trying to get back into shape, and I have not been able to motivate myself to dig deeper in my workouts without a group setting. So, I did the one week trial at Diva Den. The first morning, the owner was attending the same class I was and I was so pleased with her greeting. Hashim really made an impression on me with his attention to my form. He pushed me to work extra hard when I didn't think I could. I am a long way from my fitness goals, but I will be taking advantage of their summer deal that is going on through the month of June. LOVE the chair dance class I took, and the instructor. Loved the power yoga class, really challenged me. And WOAH the Pilates instructor knows how to make you hurt (in a good way). 100% fun environment fueled by strong women!

THIS PLACE IS EXTRAORDINARY!!

I have used many Groupons trying to find somewhere fun to dance and work out and EVERY other time, the staff and clientele were either intimidating. I would either get a closed clique kind of vibe or in one case, distinct feelings of unwelcome because I didn't know their routines, habits, or I unknowingly stood in someone else's usual spot.

Diva Den?
Oh my freaking god!!
I don't think I was made to feel this welcome since my last birthday party! For friggin' serious - I called to figure out how to activate my account and the woman who helped me, Valerie, could not have been more patient, helpful, and pleasant. A few times I went, I wasn't sure which room my class was to be in and every time, the front desk staff on duty gladly showed me to the room the class was in without even a flicker that implied I was an inconvenience, which would have been fairly reasonable given that I was asking them to walk me to class like they were my mother on the first day of kindergarten.

The classes??
EVERY instructor I've taken a class from has been kind and patient and helpful AND more importantly, the classes are challenging but ABSOLUTELY SO MUCH FUN.

Hashim, the instructor of a class that starts at 5:30am gave me individual help and encouragement despite the early hour and my abysmal ability to keep up with the regulars (who were also willing to help me get into their routines).

Rosella is the instructor for "It's a Groove Thang!" and she makes the class SO fun - she's enthusiastic and energetic and her dance moves are less mind-boggling and complicated and more fun than other dance workout classes I've taken. By that, I mean, she gives you choreography that is delightful even if you are not as...coordinated as others (take it from me, as my friends always refer to me "dancing" in quotes). "It's a Groove Thang!" is easily my favorite dance workout class I have EVER taken and I have tried MANY.

I took "Center of Gravity" with Jody and since Valerie was at the front desk that day, she kindly tipped Jody off that I was new (Valerie is a GD ANGEL). Jody helped me through all of the movements. I was SO scared before signing up for this class because it involves fabric slings hanging from the ceiling and I worried I'd end up tangling myself up and flopping around helplessly like a flying goober while the rest of the class looked on in perplexity and disdain. I couldn't have been more wrong. Jody helped me with everything before I even had to ask and the others in the class seemed to want me to succeed as much as I wanted to! And the class was DELIGHTFUL. I felt incredible afterward.

I don't have a single negative word to say about this place. This review may sound like overenthusiastic hyperbole, but I don't usually gush. I just genuinely believe that this place is a wonderful, WONDERFUL place to go, workout, chat with inexplicably helpful and kind people. It is SO worth your time, money, and even commute! I have recommended it to all of my friends because it is a BLAST and a half and I have thoroughly enjoyed every single visit from beginning to end!

It doesn't really have to be said, but to be clear aka redundant:
HIGHLY. HIIIIIIIGHLY. RECOMMEND!!

I wish that Diva Den was closer to Hillsboro, because the commute is the only complaint that I have. I have never been a person to enjoy going to the gym, or traditional exercise, but seriously, this place is amazing. I love the pole dancing, and the classes, so non-traditional and fun, and it helps someone like me, who usually has NO rhythm, actually feel kinda of sexy.

An entirely class-based studio for women with a variety of fun classes at varying intensity levels, that will leave you feeling good about yourself and happy you went to class. The names of dance classes are reminiscent of OPI nail polish, and each amazing. My personal favorites: Bottoms Up and Ab-solutely, both 30 minute classes with interval training focused on - you guessed it - behinds and abs. The studio also offers a variety of barre and dance classes to match your preference, as well as yoga (including aerial), pilates, and more. I've seen great results from the barre and tabata classes. Fun, current music is played, and the instructors are kind and professional with great attitudes to make the classes ones that you will look forward to throughout the day.

Morning and evening classes are offered to help fit any schedule. The only downside: no showers, though the studio tries to compensate with body wipes and a sink. There are lockers to keep your belongings, as well as cubbies in the studios.

I didn't use these services, but it's worth noting that they also have a massage area and offer manicures, as well as child care and pole classes.

Love it! Such a great place to have fun exercising! It's exciting to try new, different, sexy dances in a lightly lit room so you don't feel intimidated or judged. SO MUCH FUN!!

This place has literally transformed me from someone who had been fairly inactive for the last two years into someone who works out 6 days a week.
I love that i'm NOT working out in a clear glass paned room in the gym where men and women alike can watch me jiggle from their stair machines!!!

The instructors at Diva Den are encouraging and make class fun. I love that I'm starting to recognize faces of other members and feel really comfortable coming here and giving it my all. The dance classes are my FAV, it's SUCH a good time. I now come here with friends from work and it's safe to say our lives are better for it!! My only warning is if you're a germophobe, figure out which classes require a yoga mat and bring your own :)

This is literally my favorite place to be. Surrounded by beautiful (and I mean inside and out!) supportive, fun ladies, great music, laughs, and fitness! They offer a free week to try it out before you buy a membership which is great. My favorite classes are boot camp, groove, and fit chick. although really, I love them all!! :)

At first I was intimidated by this "boutique" gym. Then I went to my first pole dance class. I need a stronger word, "love" doesn't cut it! Everyone, instructors and classmates alike is so supportive and friendly that it always feels like a girls night when I go. I love the club lights, they make me feel sexy and the routines are fun. Kristin talked to me a bit and then not only recommended that I use my free week but suggested some specific classes for me that I love. I can't do boring workouts and here I don't have to, I can do burlesque dancing, aerial yoga (this has just about fixed my car accident owies) and sexy stretching to my heart's content! I LOVE THIS PLACE and my new bubble butt. It feels like I'm going to the spa...and there are spa services on the premises so.... :)

Try it, you will love it!
