This place changed my life. The girl I was when I started four months ago is not the same girl I am now. Now I am stronger in my mind and in my body than I have ever been, and I freaking love the woman I see dancing in the mirror.
Started as a complete beginner with zero upper body strength. Eight weeks later I can climb and invert. The way the programs are structured just works.
Initially I was very nervous, but everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, it's such a wonderful space filled with great people, staff and students alike, couldn't recommend TPR high enough!
Best decision I've made for my fitness and my mental health. The community at Mitcham is unreal.
TPR is incredible, I have been recommending to anyone and everyone. This community is so encouraging and friendly and I have never felt more confident in my entire life. I only started 3 weeks ago but I cannot imagine my life without pole now.
If you're thinking about starting pole, TPR is the place to go! The studio here is so lovely and everyone around you is so supportive. I've completed my 28 day challenge and it's a great program to ease your way into pole fitness. I look forward to continuing my pole journey here!
Walked in nervous, walked out buzzing. Every class I leave feeling stronger and more confident in my own skin.
Such a great community. The instructors are really encouraging and always willing to help. The members are super friendly and easy going. The environment overall is welcoming, you always walk away with a new skill, a fun routine to practice, or just relaxed cause you've had a good time in the space.
The Mitcham studio is my happy place. Instructors are so knowledgeable and patient, and the other students cheer you on like you've known each other for years.
I've started the 28 day pole challenge to try pole for the first time and it was the best thing ever, I was super nervous to start but everyone was so nice and supportive. I can't wait to keep learning new tricks.
I do pole and lyra here and love both. Being able to use my membership at CBD and Kilsyth as well is a huge bonus.
Silks program was incredible. Small class, so much individual attention, and I never felt out of my depth.
Amazing staff, fantastic facilities and never been in a more supportive environment!
I joined the pole room in January 2021 and to say it has changed my life is an understatement. From the moment I walked into the studio I felt welcome and loved. The teachers and other students lift you up and make you feel like you can do anything, pole has made me a happier and more confident version of myself and I couldn't be more grateful to be apart of the TPR tribe. If joining pole has ever crossed your mind you should absolutely join, I promise you it'll be the best decision you ever make 💛💛
i started with TPR on my own, which was so scary at the time. fast forward over a year later, i feel stronger, more confident and have made some of the best friends in both teachers and students. the teachers work to accommodate every body, and the community created at TPR is unmatched. the highlight of my day is coming into studio, i love my second home and our family there 🧚🏼
Since the first day I walked through the studio doors almost 4 years ago I haven't left! The pole room is the most supportive, friendly and empowering environment no matter your age, shape or size. There's a variety of classes to suit your interests and keep you challenged and trying new things. Not to mention its a full body workout!! Highly recommend giving it a go 🙂
I’ve been going to the pole room for nearly a year now and I couldn’t imagine my life without it. It has has allowed me to tap into an aspect/ part of me that is gentle, soft and creative. Pole dancing makes me feel beautiful and sexy. The studio has an amazing atmosphere with fantastic instructors who support and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. I’ve also made some wonderful friends through it. Thank you Jake for being an incredible manager. 💕
Awesome staff, fun classes all round great vibes.. Never in my life would I have thought I'd join pole dancing classes but here I am doing an 8 wk beginner class with Tish.. Despite rocking up to class in trackies, hoodie and slippers this place is an Absolute confidence booster you start to feel sexy in your own skin.. Cannot recommend The Pole Room Kilsyth enough.
Im in love with this place. It is so nice to come and exercise in a space with such an amazing group of people who are so welcoming and encouraging. Not an ounce of negativity or judgement and it has completely changed my whole outlook towards my body image and overall happiness. Thank you TPR for being a welcomed positive change in my life... Im a poler for life now
Super beginner friendly, I started in June from just seeing an ad on instagram, I thought I would just attend for a month to get a taste and then leave, but now I have found such a supportive community and achieved moves I never even knew about 6 months ago, TPR is now my happy place
I love the classes at the Pole Room! As an introverted person, beginning pole dancing was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but it has been so fulfilling. I’ve not only gained strength and skill, but also confidence. Everyone is super friendly, helpful and organised. The teachers and very talented, encouraging, and clear in their instructions. Every class I’ve been to is so much fun and designed with all fitness levels in mind. I’ve seen so much progress in a short time and I’m super excited to continue!
with no dance or fitness background whatsoever, it took me a while to build up the courage to join but as soon as i came through those doors i felt so welcomed! vibes are always high and it is such a supportive environment, the teachers and students i have had the pleasure of meeting have all been so lovely. coming to the pole room is truly the best decision i have ever made for myself, my mental health and my physical health and i cannot wait to see where pole takes me throughout the rest of my life 🥹
i was really nervous starting pole by myself but i know going with the pole room was the right choice reception has been so understanding and sweet they gave me plenty of options to choose from in terms of courses i started with beginner 1 my instructor was jade who is the sweetest instructor there was no pressure at all and made the environment feel extremely safe, they have done a really good job at creating such a beautiful community there and i’m so excited to start beginner 2 it has been the best experience and i definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of doing pole here
I have joined the over 40’s beginners class for a trial block and absolutely love it . The staff are all friendly , super helpful and supportive. I highly recommend anyone give it a try - results mentally and physically are priceless .
I took up a free trial after thinking about attending a pole dancing class for years, and then several times this year. I'd talked myself out of it so many times thinking that I was too overweight, too awkward, I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin, I didn't feel {insert 50 other reasons here} enough to be able to enjoy myself - so many reasons. I finally decided to bite the bullet and give it a go and book in. After my session, I signed up for classes immediately wondering why I hadn't done this sooner. I felt safe, encouraged and supported and I can already see this as an important step for me to grow some self confidence. Thanks team for being so welcoming and doing what you do!
