ArtFit | Martial Arts & Dance Studio

I only have the best to say about ArtFit. I began my time at ArtFit in Lubbock as a kinesiology intern in 2015-16. Little did I know at the time, how much of an impact they would have on my future success. Cheryl was crucial in mentoring me and providing me with as many opportunities as she could provide. Walt gave me the courage and discipline that I so desperately needed. ArtFit offers Lubbock a variety of classes and skills that are unmatched and hard to find in west Texas. I can honestly say, I would not be where I am now if it were not for the caring nature of the Busheys. Whether your interests are in pole, aerial silks, or combat sports- ArtFit will cater to those needs and help you succeed. 5/5 through and through.

Thank you for taking the time to rate ArtFit.

I have been taking Aerial Silks lessons at Artfit for over a year now and I highly recommend Artfit to anyone that would like a challenge. Strength and experience are not required to take a class. Every class starts with conditioning to help strengthen the body and prepare students for harder moves and more difficult skills. My instructor, Cheryl, is very encouraging while at the same time pushing me to succeed to the next level. When I accomplish a move or skill that I have been working hard to achieve, Cheryl will cheer for me. Over the last year, I have gained so much strength and confidence and I owe my success to Cheryl because she believed in me and helped me overcome my fears and self-imposed limitations. Thank you, Cheryl! I couldn’t have come this far without your help!!!

Thank you! We are glad that you enjoyed class.

I am a bigger girl, so for me trying anything new, is a lot of stress. Walking into ArtFit, was overwhelming, however comforting at the same time. I started with the Belly dancing class many, many moons ago, I have never looked back, Cheryl and the whole team will push you until you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself. True, some time are more stressful then others, I have discover that there will pain, and a learning process, and maybe a few tears, however everyone is will to lift you up and hold until you are ready to move on. Truth be told, seeing the dogs, is helpful, the dogs are very well trained, and will most time sleep though whatever class they are in. You must scratch a belly here and there, and sometime one will find there way into your lap. Once you have enter the door of ArtFit, your now family, most families, have brother sister relationships, so sometimes it seem that there is to much picking or goofing off going on, however you are still continuing to learn. Learning should be fun and light, as difficult as that is to hear some don't understand that. You should try a class, because they offer the first class free, and truthfully you will gain so much than, whatever you though you might. Time will tell, if ArtFit isn't the right studio for you, then you have lost nothing, but an hour, however if they are you will have a lot of people fighting for you and with you.

I tried out the 'silks beginner' class because it looked interesting to try. when I got there there were only three people in the class and they knew I was trying it out for the first time. Another instructor, I think Cheryl, seemed nice and checked me in, and then there were the sweetest dogs there. I said I have never done silks yoga and that I havent really worked out either in a while, but yet Olivia, my instructor spoke down to me in a very condescending manner, which I did not appreciate. There are coaches and instructors who are supposed to give advice and help you, I get that, but Olivia was being condescending. It was like she had an angry chip on her shoulder about something. mind you she also was smoking an e-cigarette during the class, which come on--can it not wait? Olivia also seemed to treat this other younger girl there in a condescending manner like a big sister picking on a little sister-like she kinda liked her but then didnt really respect her. i loved the dogs and the other instructor seemed nice, but Olivia just had a very weird negative vibe and was disrespectful and condescending that i did not appreciate, so much that i felt the need to share and type this and will never go back there so long as they keep around an instructor who is condescending, Olivia.

I highly recommend Artfit. It is a really fun, unique place. No matter what package you purchase, you can try any class you want with it- and there are MANY options. You never get bored working out there which helps you stick to your fitness goals.I don't normally post reviews but I saw one from Becky that is totally different than my experiences there. I've been in the class she's talking about- with the same instructor and younger student. The student is a really cool kid and has a hilarious dry sense of humor. Her and Olivia have known each other for a long time, from what I've gathered, and do have a sister-like bond, so they both joke around with each other in a mutually-respectful manner. As for the e-cig, I've never seen her use one and I'm there all the time. (I'm not saying she's lying, just that I don't want people to assume it happens all of the time because I can tell you or a fact it doesn't). I do agree with Becky though that the dogs are really sweet! The owners of Artfit have several rescue dogs that they bring with them. Such great people! I have a medical condition that restricts my hand movement and strength and Olivia is always coming up with new ways to help me perform silks with my limitations.Bottom line- Artfit is a really unique workout and performance studio with a quality you can't find anywhere else.

Thanks for the great review!

Have really enjoyed my Belly Dance class with Carla there! Wish it was a big bigger overall, esp when in routine practice. Look forward to seeing renovations done.
