Very bad quality of classesA quick follow up regarding owner's reply: thanks for your prompt response.I was never informed about the so called grace period until today. The instructor simply locked the door without any explanation and notice. After I consistently knock the door hardly, a student (not the instructor) came out and said the instructor doesn't want to open the door because the grace period is gone.I completely understand a lot of studios have their rules and I very much respect them. But I don't think this is a proper way a studio instructor interacts with their students. First of all, no one told me anything about grace period. Secondly, when the grace period is past and I have been knocking the door, the instructor should come out and explain it to me in a respectful way. If not, then I doubt her ability of organizing the class as well as effectively communicating with her students.I work long hours everyday and It takes me at least half an hour from where I work to the studio during traffic time. Stretching is not my career, and I don't plan to be a world champion on stretching. I believe most of students, including me, come to class consistently because our passion. But I still try my best to make each class. To emphasis again, I very much respect the rule, but I really don't understand why I have been treated in such cruel way. If you don't have compassion about a student being passionate about stretching, why do you expect your student having compassion with a woman own a small business?I think my comment is clear and fair now , and if you think I deserve being locked out without in-advance and afterwards proper communication, then I also think you deserve a one star review. Thanks.

Smoke and Mirrors is such an amazing studio. First of all, there is plenty of parking, which is always a plus in my book!The instructors are all very helpful when it comes to teaching. They explain moves clearly and they are always available to help spot if you needed it.There is also plenty of space in the pole room so you do not feel like you are cramped or have to worry about getting in other students' way. Because there are so many poles, they are able to accommodate plenty of students.The studio is very clean and welcoming and provides an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. There is also a plethora of classes so if you are not sure of what you want to try, you have plenty of options!

Smoke and Mirror Fitness holds such a special place in my heart. I currently take Aerial Silks (& Lyra Hoop), Pole, Yoga, and Stretch / Flex. In the past, I have taken various workshops.Each instructor has their own style with well-developed lessons, which creates an experience that feels both consistant throughout the month and fresh with each day of the week. It's incredibly evident that the instructors are well-informed and passionate about the subject matters they teach.The studio is a community. One that is incredibly inclusive, withopportunities for all levels.At Smoke & Mirror, I feel safe, supported, and empowered.If I had to choose a favorite workshop (which is hard), I would go with Master your Flow. I HIGHLY recommend taking the class to anyone interested in building both skills and confidence in free dance. The workshop does an amazing job of teaching you how to "get out of your head." I went from freezing while standing next to the pole to confidently transitioning between moves.I could write for hours about how much I love this studio, the people, the opportunities, and the memories, but I have some silks to climb!I think I'm going to go do that instead! :P

I have gone to a good amount of pole studios over the many years that I have been poling on and off (off mostly lol). Let me tell you, this studio is really amazing! The space is huge and beautiful with 9 poles total and various aerial apparatuses.The studio offers a really good variety of classes to pick from. There are pole classes with heels, pole classes that are more based on tricks & combos, aerial classes, flexibility classes and more! Each class will state the level it is, and there are classes from beginner to advanced and everything in between. Also there are LIVE virtual classes so you can take them in the comfort of your own home too! This is a great option for people with a very busy schedule or to avoid rush hour traffic/crowds.I love this place and all the instructors there! Everyone is really unique and brings something special to their classes that they teach.I highly recommend this place!

I have been coming to smoke and mirrors on and off for 4 years and they never fail to impress. Tonight I roped in 4 coworkers (three of which were male) to come in for their first ever intro to pole class with Jenny. To say they had an absolute blast is an understatement. They all also mentioned how comfortable, welcoming, and kickass Jenny was as our instructor. Jenny is THE person to take your first ever pole class with as she has mastered the art of creating such a warm, fun and safe environment.
