This is a wonderful place! Pole is definitely challenging but also very rewarding. The community at Soma is amazing, so supportive and friendly! All of the instructors are very patient. Tricks classes are a great way to get started, and I recently started taking spin classes as well...those are even more fun. But my favorite are the dance classes. Don't worry if you don't have a dance background, just move in a way that feels good to you and it will start to feel more comfortable. Everyone should try this!

I was so nervous going into my first class, but I shouldn’t have worried! Feythe was so welcoming from the second I walked in the door! I was so surprised by how much fun I had and how much I loved it! I already can’t wait to go back and learn more!

A good place to learn pole. Instructors are friendly. I'd give it a 5 star review if they had more availability for certain classes. I'd pay for soma unlimited package but I'm not sure I'd get enough classes out of it with limited availability. The classes at the beginning of the week always seem to be completely booked up. I'd like to be more regular with classes.

I enjoyed the class and the instructor was incredibly nice in the intro course. I've done a few pole classes before (it's been a while), and take aerial circus classes that keep my upper body strength and flexibility consistent. I wasn't even able to finish the warmup of this class because it was so hot: I was sweating so bad my feet wouldn't stick to the hardwood floor. My hands were sliding over the floor during the warmups, let alone being able to get any grip on the pole. I don't feel like I was able to really try anything to the best of my ability because all I was doing was trying to dry my hands and the pole off the entire class. I'm not sure if it's always that hot or if they're having cooling problems, but there's no way I could take a class like that again without fearing braining myself falling from a simple stretch. That being said, not everyone was having as many problems as I was: if you aren't a sweaty person, you'll probably be ok. (The owner reached out and offered suggestions for warm weather...still really hot though. Probably should have offered those suggestion in the information for the intro class)

Soma is such an amazing place. The community is so welcoming and supportive. Pole itself gives you confidence and makes you feel strong and beautiful. I started at Soma as a student and absolutely fell in love with both the studio and the sport. Mathilda is a gem, she is so supportive and encouraging to both her students and her staff. I love the friendships and camaraderie I’ve found with the other instructors and students. It’s a wonderful place to embark on your pole journey and a great place to work too! I absolutely love it there 💕 Highly recommend!
