I recently decided to try classes here at Fitness Freestyle, after having never tried pole before. Here is why I love the studio and decided to sign up as a full member (this is long, but worth it): -Clarity, communication and transparency: long before I decided to take up a class, I really appreciated how much description was on the website about everything: classes, what you need to wear/bring, easily accessible scheduling and, crucially, pricing. I really appreciated the full transparency of (what are very reasonable) membership prices, and the ease of signing up for drop in classes first to see what I was getting into. I had a couple of questions before I signed up (what counted as a week when it came to the number of classes, how to cancel the membership, and so forth), and all of them were answered by the owner before I signed up. -The facility: it is really clean (yay!) and well-cared for. The studio area is great - it has 8 poles so every person in a class can work individually. The gym is not why I signed up because I have one at home (I’m mostly going to pole classes - more on that below), but it is a really good gym that I have used a couple of times, and although I’m a full member, it would be worth purchasing the (very reasonably price) gym-only membership, speaking as someone who has lifted for years. -Pole classes: Like I said before, I had zero experience with pole before coming here, except for some embarrassing moments at parties where I was lucky not to hurt myself. It’s been a couple of two months, but I’ve been going to beginner classes once to twice a week, and I’m shocked by where I’ve started versus where I’ve gotten to already, which I entirely credit to Tabitha, who is an excellent instructor. She will take the time to explain things very well with extremely useful analogies so you can understand the technique, and also the physics behind the move, without making you feel embarrassed if and when you try the move and don’t execute it perfectly the first (or fifth) time, which is pretty much all of us when we are starting something new. I was not in tip top athletic condition when I started, and I also had no gymnastics like experience or anything that would have made me used to suspension or otherwise being off the ground, so all of this was truly brand new to me, but I can already see where I’ve gotten stronger in certain places, like my core, gotten more comfortable with being off the ground, and improve on technique, and TJ is really good about getting into the specifics of what to improve for moves, giving you feedback even while balancing the needs of other students, helping you understand which muscles should and shouldn’t be engaged for your safety, and so forth. Speaking of which, TJ is more concerned about your safety than anything else, and we should all be so grateful for such instructors, because pole can be dangerous if one is reckless and attempting things they aren’t ready for. For this reason, there are strict rules about being on time for class to not miss warm ups, and so forth, but that’s exactly the type of attitude I’d expect from Coach Mack or Calipari if I were training on a team, so there you go. I also go to some of the other classes, but I wanted to shout out Rikki, who teaches the flex and flow class, which I attend pretty regularly. Flexibility is something I tend to be lazy about in my own workouts, even though I know better, but going to that class has been great for recovery and protecting against injuries. I also discovered in a recent class that I’m pretty close to being able to do the splits, something I wasn’t even training for and haven’t been able to do in well over 10 years, and I’m sure I have pole and flex to thank for that.

I seriously can't say enough great things about this awesome fitness mecca in Louisville! Rikki Little is the best Pole Fitness teacher I've ever had. And her Acro-Chair class is amazing. Tabitha Johnson's workshops and classes are always fun, original and exciting. Both these ladies are the ultimate professionals you want on your fitness team!

I have been attending classes at Freestyle Fitness for quite a while now, and what started off as a one-time adventure of taking a pole class turned into an entire lifestyle change and a loss of 40 lbs! I now thoroughly enjoy dancing, pole, weight training, and power lifting, things I would have NEVER in a million years thought I would come to love. The trainers and instructors are helpful, patient, and meet you where you are. I truly believe that what makes this place so great and different from other fitness studios is that the staff teach how to love the body you *have*, and won't let you feel shame or inadequate in your size or skillset, which allows you to be comfortable to improve. Whether you are brand new to moving your body or an experienced athlete, Freestyle has always made me feel at home.

TL;DR: my 30 day notice was lost in the mail (or perhaps never acknowledged though I hope this isn’t the case but after the following is explained, who knows?) I mailed in my 30 day notice a few days before the beginning of October since I am moving at the end of Oct. and never heard back as far as a confirmation that my notice had been received so I messaged on the 1st of October asking about the best way to cancel (which was to mail the notice- as I did). Ten days pass. Nothing. So I message again, this time asking if there’s some sort of confirmation or if I should bring it in directly and I was told that the mail would be checked and that I would be notified then was asked to mail it. 14 days later, and no notifying. I message TJ again and the communication was very dry. I reread the contract and you actually can personally deliver your notice. So that’s what I did. I messaged once more asking for visual confirmation that my membership be cancelled so I’m not further billed, and my question was dodged. I explained that I didn’t think this was fair because I upheld what I was supposed to do on my end as per the contract and having mail lost (I presume due to the lingering effects of the pandemic) is such an abnormal situation (which isn’t addressed in the contract) that I don’t feel I should be at fault for something entirely out of my control. This explanation was read but otherwise not acknowledged. Is it that difficult to terminate a membership or is $116.55 really more worthwhile than business integrity? Truly disappointing.

My friend and I went yesterday. I've done pole dancing competitively in the past (years ago). That being said, the instructor taught basic things in detail. It was a boring class for me, but that's because it was a very safe and controlled environment for beginners. However, if you're looking for technicality, this is your gym. If you're looking to jump back on the pole, you'll find yourself being reeled back to slow down and keep feet on the ground until you can show you've acquired the moves with proper body mechanics.

They have amazing professional classes with wonderful teachers. The instructors are very helpful and are encouraging to everyone that attends their classes. If you are a beginner or a pro they have various classes at various levels for all to get what they want out of their fitness and to have fun doing it.

I have been attending classes with Freestyle Fitness for four months now. I have no dance background and have been welcomed with open arms to all of the classes that I attend. I love the inclusivity and how all fitness levels and abilities are welcomed. I regularly attend Pole, Flex and Flow, Twerkout and Burlesque for Beginners. The instructors are not only friendly but they are also patient and very encouraging. I recommend this place 100%.

Perhaps it was due to the first time I showed up you were rude and very disrespectful to the guest I had brought because we didn’t know she needed to register. I had a family emergency and I had expressed that when I called to cancel my classes during the time I stated I also had a surprise trip to Gatlinburg planned. You tried to take more money from my account without acknowledging me. Once you became belligerent via text on my personal phone, I signed up for every class I could until the last day of my paid membership, it was then you stated you weren’t going to allow me to attend any classes during the remainder of my paid membership, because of an “outstanding balance” for missed classes (again that I didn’t miss because I called and/or withdrew online) no where in your so called policy does it say you’ll refuse services, especially services already paid for. I’m glad I requested a new debit card before you could get anymore of my money.

Absolute favorite gym in Louisville!!! Welcoming atmosphere for anyone at any fitness level. Come have fun with us in group classes, you'll forget your exercising!

My friend and i were traveling through Louisville. We decided to take a pole dancing class here and it was so fun! TJ was so good at explaining the moves! I was injured and she was very understanding and gave me different options to work through all the moves while still getting the most out of the class. HIGHLY recommend taking pole dancing classes here!!

Friendly staff, has a good sized weight area. A great choice for someone who wants to exercise at a smaller fitness center.

So this was my very first ever experience in a gym, dance class with instructor. Always the type to just do my workouts at home while casting on the tv. I am so so happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and did a group flirty party with close friends. Never once felt uncomfortable or anything. With breaking down the dance moves and muscle movements made it a lot easier to understand. Truly grateful for TJ Lady Phoenix ! Had a great time. 10/10 experience and plan on returning !!!!

I have been training here for over two years, and I’m 100% delighted with every aspect of the place. TJ is a skilled and compassionate coach and trainer, who actively pays attention to their clients’ goals and limitations. TJ deserves the utmost respect for their professionalism, empathy and sense of humor. On a personal level, I credit TJ with helping to save my life; I have tried other gym and fitness facilities, and never developed a sense of connection to the place or to a trainer. TJ helped me change how I view fitness and exercise, and how I view myself. I’m healthier now than I have ever been, and Freestyle Fitness was the decisive factor. Thanks, TJ!

Loved the pole dancing class!! I was just in town for a couple days with a friend and we decided to come here. Absolutely do not regret it! Our instructor, TJ, was so nice and helpful! Whenever I come back in town I will definitely come back! TJ is goals!
