Believe Fitness Studio

I was visiting this studio from out of town, and was so impressed with my level 2 silks class! The studio was so well-managed with structured lessons. I also loved how clean everything was, with freshly-washed/new silks for each person (no having to share), and cleaning spray bottles for the yoga mats for warmup. The class also had plenty of conditioning and technique. I wish I was a local so I could keep coming! Amazing!

I beacon of light in a big city! Dana is next level and I cannot wait to attend more of her classes. Her energy, passion and knowledge makes the class go by in a flash and almost forget that your body hasn't been stretched like this in years! There was such a beautiful sense of community and support while we were all being stretched to our limits. THANK YOU!!!! Oh yeah and they provide all the equipment so you don't have to worry about forgetting something!

Took the beginning pole class with Melissa. It was really fun & hard. She's a supportive & patient teacher. Able to command a class of many different levels, explains thing well. The pole dancing space is great. Very clean & perfect ambiance (dark so you aren't intimidated by the mirrors, but also not sleazy feeling)Hope to be back for more classes

I've taken a few aerial silks classes at Believe and would definitely go back. Having also taken silks classes at other studios in the area, I think I can give a good comparison.The quality of instruction at Believe is good, however I wouldn't recommend it for absolute beginners because - at least for me - they go a little too fast if you're brand new. (Example: they immediately start you learning a full straddle inversion, instead of having you practice with a hammock knot first) So I think the classes are better if you already know some of the basics. But even if you don't, instructors are friendly and encouraging, and safety is always a priority.One potential downside is the price, which is higher than other studios. However, this is balanced out by the length of classes, which are 90 minutes (other studios are 60-75), and by the fact that there is no minimum number of students, so even if you're the only sign up, your class will not be cancelled. So I feel like you do get your money's worth.A definite downside is the terrible parking situation. You will have to walk a couple of blocks, and while the area isn't terrible, it also doesn't feel 100% safe especially after dark.The only other downside for silks classes is the lack of convenient times. There are only two beginner level classes per week: Saturday mid-day and late Monday evening. The Saturday one is easy enough to get to, except that it's the same time as my favorite class at another studio. The Monday one is way too late (7:30-9:00pm). Even if I still had the energy that late, I would have to skip dinner (can't eat before a class where I'm flipping upside down). I wish they would add more times, ideally early evenings on weekdays, because if they did I would totally go here more often. There's an intermediate class at 6:00 on Tuesdays which is perfect but I'm nowhere near good enough for that yet.Overall, I recommend giving it a try if you can! "Cons" aside the classes themselves are fun and you'll get a good workout.
