Pulse Dance Fitness Studio

I went to a free workout class that this studio did with Fabletics, and loved it so much I signed up for the Taylor Swift sculpt!! (pleaseeeeee keep doing this class!!!!!) The staff is so friendly and the energy in the studio is amazing. This is one of my favorite studios that I’ve been to!

I can not have enough of this studio. All the instructors are so fun, positive, motivating and the classes are fantastic and you get an amazing workout. I’ve been recommending Pulse to everyone and anyone. Mikaela the owner is great! I just love dancing with her.

I've been going to Pulse since it opened in February and it's been wonderful! Fun instructors, a wide variety of classes to choose from. Whether it's cardio dance, sculpt, choreo, flow (yoga), barre, or HIIT, you always get a great workout. No dance experience necessary, I had none. The owner, Mikaela, is awesome. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I truly love Pulse! I’ve worked out at likely every fitness studio in the Des Moines area for the past 15 years and this is such a find! I love the variety of class options for whatever my body needs and it’s FUN

Love all of the Pulse classes! All of the instructors bring high energy and fun to class! The studio is great for all fitness levels. The instructors are good about suggesting modificaitons if an exercise doesn't work for you. I highly recommend trying a class, you will get a great workout and have fun!

I LOVE pulse!! As a teacher (year around) it is hard to find time to workout. I started taking the 5:30 p.m. dance class, and it has fit perfectly in my schedule! Mikaela is an amazing instructor, and her energy is contagious! Over the last two years I have overcome some health challenges, and I’m so happy I found a workout that I look forward to!!

I'm a complete beginner -- no dance lessons or experience. The Pulse classes are fun and beginner friendly. I've been a regular gym goer for 20+ years, and I can confirm that the Pulse instructors are talented and knowledgeable. The music is incredible, and the studio looks and feels more like a spa instead of a sweaty gym. They don't push diets or weight loss, which I really appreciate as someone healing from disordered eating. All bodies are welcome!

I was going to come on here and write about my favorite instructor, but I seriously can't pick just one! All of the instructors at Pulse are amazing! Every instructor I've tried brings a different energy, I have gotten a tough workout with each and it's impossible not to smile and have fun while working out here :)

I used to live in Los Angeles and was obsessed with the awesome dance and fitness classes offered there. I tried to find something similar in Des Moines, but was disappointed to find nothing even close. Until I found Pulse Dance Fitness Studio. I was so excited to find a studio that offered classes that reminded me of the ones I used to take in Los Angeles. I was even more excited to discover that the instructors were just as knowledgeable and motivating as the ones I had taken classes with in the past. Pulse Dance Fitness Studio has been a great place for me to challenge myself, have fun, and work on my balance and stability. After being diagnosed with MS, doctors said it was important to workout and make sure to work on my balance, and I put it off for almost two years because of every excuse possible. But when Pulse opened I knew I had to make myself a priority and sign up. It was the best decision I have made in a long time!

Beautiful studio!! Great instructors!!!
