Reviews of Heartfelt Pole Studio

Alexis Meyers

This place looks incredible and is also a great workout! I was nervous at first to go to a pole class, but once I was there, it was such a welcoming experience. The instructor and all of the people in the class were all so friendly! It made me feel great and I’m still sore (in a good way)! I even signed up for a membership after going! I highly recommend!

Jennifer Rader

Heartfelt does it so well ❤️ As always, the space is inviting to all. The studio is cute, clean, and there’s plenty of room. The instructor was fun and knowledgeable! I went to this class as a complete newbie (and a little nervous) left feeling incredibly confident! 10/10 recommend and 10/10 will return!

Zaria Justice

heartful is a wonderful chain of studios! all of the instructors at the pole studio are so helpful - i notice the progress in myself. everyone is welcoming and the environment is always so positive. i would highly recommend attending! even if you go alone, you will make a friend at class!!

Maddie Wintrich

The BEST pole studio. With an incredible variety of instructors and classes, it is an amazing place to go and develop a new hobby or to just try something new. You’ll go for the fun and stay for the community that is Heartfelt.

Jessica Warner

My first time on the pole ever! Space was small in a way that helped me not feel overwhelmed in a new space. The instructor was like everyone’s own personal cheerleader helping feel confident in new moves. Had a blast! Definitely recommend

Miri Mogilevsky

I’ve been pole dancing off and on for a few years and recently got back into it at this new studio. Y’all—this is it. All the instructors I’ve met so far have been so supportive, innovative, and full of joy for what they’re doing. It’s been amazing to see so many BIPOC folx and people of all body sizes and shapes both teaching classes and attending them. (By the way, I asked—there is no weight limit for the poles!) After over two years of this pandemic, coming to this studio immediately felt like being welcomed into a community and I think a lot of people are really hungry for that right now. Plus, I’ve been delightfully sore after every single class I’ve taken so far! 😂

Love love love this studio! This is my first time doing pole classes and it’s been a blast! Once again, Vinny has created the most inclusive and fun community to learn and be yourself! All of the instructors are committed to creating a comfortable environment to trying new things and expressing yourself. EVERY BODY IS ACCEPTED!!! Truly a place to come as you are!!

Crystal Sirl

Beautiful space + community. From the moment I walked in, I felt totally comfortable and welcomed. The instructor was very accommodating as well as engaging and fun. I highly recommend checking it out to move your body in a new way and feel good.

Maddie Helmig

Heartfelt studios has created such a beautiful, unique, inclusive community within the Columbus fitness world. When you walk in a Heartfelt studio, you immediately feel the energy shift and can tell you’re surrounded by instructors and classmates who are there to have fun and move their body without the pressure of giant tv screens with competing numbers or pushing diet culture on you. Pole is one of those sneaky workouts where you’re having so much fun that you forget you’re working out and then the next day muscles are sore in your body that you didn’t even know existed! If you’re looking for a fun, playful way to move your body in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, stop looking. Seriously- Heartfelt is all you will ever need!

Ashley Perry

I hosted a bachelorette party for one of my besties at Heartfelt Pole Studio and we had a blast!!! Aspen and Gracie were our instructors and they taught us a sexy and fun routine! This was great because everyone had fun and we were all beginners! This was a perfect bachelorette place because it's in the heart of the Short North and we were able to bar hop after! I will definitely be back again to take a regular scheduled class!

Casey Michelle

I absolutely love this studio! Clean, beautiful, and the staff is absolutely incredible. The Heartfelt community is so welcoming and kind and make anyone at any experience level feel so welcome here ❤️ Gracey’s Pole Basics classes are amazing at making you feel comfortable and empowered, as well as helping you safely progress your pole skills. Such a good way to exercise and build strength, and a super fun experience!! I always look forward to coming back here. If you have been thinking about exploring pole fitness for the first time or finding a wonderful, fun, supportive community to practice with, I highly recommended checking out this studio! You won’t be disappointed!

Gracey Cantalupo

Love this studio and the vibes, all are welcome here! There are so many talented instructors teaching a range of pole classes and dance classes. The students are enthusiastic and fun too! This is truly a great community... What are you waiting for?! Get in here ;)

Mercedes Harris

I’ve only had the opportunity to go to one class so far but I had a great time! The owner greeted me, the instructor was super welcoming and nice. Trying new things, especially new fitness classes, can be so intimidating and felt instantly calmed and ended up having a great time. Can’t wait to go back!

Christina Allen

I love coming to heartfelt! I had never touched a pole before coming to the studio, but I still feel comfortable every time I come to class. The instructors and participants are all friendly and supportive and I have built to much confidence coming here :)

Lisa Combs

I loved my experience at Heartfelt Pole Studio. The community at Heartfelt is unprecedented and the instructors and owner foster equitable fitness spaces. I have never tried pole before, but felt so supported in the class. The instructor made me feel confident in my abilities and I never knew I could feel so empowered. I can't wait to continue to take classes.

Jess Ensley

I've been going to Heartfelt for about 6 months and am absolutely obsessed. Not only the instructors, but the other students, are so welcoming and supportive. I think pole and dance workouts can seem intimidating for people who have never done them before, but this is the least intimidating place to try them out. It's truly amazing for building strength and confidence. I cannot say enough good things about Heartfelt.

Hally Shah

Can’t wait to take my friends here when they’re in town—first time going to a pole dancing class and to heartfelt and it was absolutely amazing! The fact that there were multiple body types and an instructor that hyped us up made the experience comfortable and fun!

Shatira Woods

The instructors are all welcoming, supportive, and kind. I felt safe and empowered in the classes I’ve taken despite pole dancing being far outside of my comfort zone. I’m excited to continue my movement and self-love journeys with Heartfelt!

Sara Woogerd

I love taking classes at all of the Heartfelt Studios! The pole studio, just like the cycling and yoga studio, are so welcoming! This is a safe, inclusive space where you feel like you belong, even as a beginner. The instructors are kind and helpful. I will definitely continue taking classes here!

Chloe Abi Zeid

I absolutely loved the studio and the class! The vibe is so inclusive and generally happy. It’s the best place to go to learn and connect with people who don’t judge. The instructors are bosses and the whole thing is just 💯 …

Julianna Hausman

Heartfelt Pole is a blast! There are classes for varying levels of experience/interest and instructors welcome you wherever you’re at. Pole is new to me and the instructors make sure I’m safe in movement, while offering suggestions for improvement. This space is for all bodies and anybody. The space is clean, has storage for your belongings & mats if you desire to go around the pole

Susannah Halsey

i’ve always been hesitant about engaging in movement in public because of my body size. i also was so nervous about going to a pole studio because the recommendation is to wear not much clothing! i have a big stomach, and i was so scared. i’ve never done this type of movement before either! however, hazel is amazing and so welcoming! i am in awe of the amazing people in this class who are doing the amazing moves and tricks. they continuously offered and demonstrated different moves that might be a better starting point when my body was learning to move in a different way. i’m so excited for next monday with hazel:) come here!! it was intimidating that the other class members were doing these incredible moves, but it was also so inspiring. the class pole foundations is mixed levels, but if you like shocks to the system in movement, this class is perfect!

Isabella Petit

Heartfelt Studios are always so unique and special, and the pole studio fits the movement perfectly! The instructors are so kind and friendly, and the classes really have something for everyone! I had so much fun at pole basics and I will absolutely be back soon ✨

Colleen Fortney

I had so much fun at my first pole class at Heartfelt! I took Aspen’s Sensual Pole class on Sunday, it was a great workout with challenging yet approachable choreography. Aspen made me feel comfortable and prepared, and took extra time to break down certain tricks or questions we had. I loved her approach to movement and emphasis on musicality. The environment is uplifting, and the studio is bright and clean. I can’t wait to come back to Sensual Pole and check out other classes too!

Gabriella Guanciale

So happy this studio opened up in Columbus!! Inclusive, fun, and a GREAT workout. I love the variety of classes offered and how it I've taken multiple beginner classes and it is different skills each time. Can't wait to keep learning & coming back for more.

Izzy Marcelletti

HF Pole Studio will sweep you off your feet! No community is more supportive and dazzling than HF folks. This is THE Short North destination!! Come join this inclusive community and stretch yourself to new heights. :)

Nickalous Babics

Being a long time patron of Cycle and Yoga studios the Heartfelt studios have become a safe space I can turn to and find a welcoming and loving community and a place I can just burn frustration/stress. And it’s no surprise that once the pole studio opened, I had to check it out. After my first class I am feeling a new sensual power and a lot of new muscle zones. The class was supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend to check out one of the 3 amazing studios that create what Heartfelt is.

Dominique Todd

I have officially been to all three Heartfelt studios and the energy Vinny and the team have crafted is phenomenal. Heartfelt Pole has become my second home. I began courses a month ago and was very nervous and out of touch with myself. I am recovering from some injuries, and everyone always does a body check, shares multiple options for moves, and really focuses on starting where you are safely. I have grown so much since coming to this studio and have never felt unsafe in this space. I'm close to 300lbs and the poles are verys sturdy, and the studio is CONSISTENTLY being cleaned.Even when it's super hard, the environment feels very welcoming and the instructors know what they are doing. I feel really supported by heartfelt and accommodated at all times.

TJ Fleming

Last year I did a pole dancing class for my bday and fell in love. While the studio was great, it wasn’t super convenient and I didn’t really feel like I belonged. Then my friend poleleopard told me about heartfelt studios and that it was opening right down the street from my work. So I thought what the heck, I will try it out. I felt immediately welcomed and comfortable enough to start to come out of my shell. I take conditioning classes and beginner level currently and the encouragement and kindness keeps me coming back. I look forward to many great things to come as I continue to take classes with all of the amazing instructors and students! Thank you for creating an environment where all feel accepted to be our authentic selves and to get a little nasty! :-)

Yijing Wang

What a beautiful new studio in Columbus! The instructors are welcoming, inclusive, and really make you feel comfortable trying new things and exploring new moves. Definitely recommend dropping in for a class; they have so many options for you to ease your way into something new!

Alyssa Baum

This pole studio amazing addition to the Heartfelt Movement community! The instructors are talented, body-inclusive, and extremely friendly. The space is warm and welcoming to all people!

Jacob Troyer

*ATTENTION* - If you are looking for a space to explore your body, your mind, your soul, and yourself as a whole. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. Since I have joined Heartfelt Pole Studio, I have gained confidence and have felt more sexy in my skin. Every week I look forward to entering into this beautiful space where I can be my true self, and feel welcomed and be surrounded by incredible people who are looking to just have fun. If you are have been looking for a place to dance and feel free, no need to look any further. WE WANT YOU HERE, & YOU BELONG HERE 🤍!

Micaela Gonzalez

Love the Heartfelt studios! As is true to Heartfelt, this studio feels warm and so lively with all the plants and natural lighting. I took Hip Hop Choreo from Charles and he gave it EVERYTHING!!!! The class was so comfortable and we were all having such a good time by the end - laughing and enjoying ourselves to Missy Elliot! >D I’m excited to take more classes in different styles from different teachers!

Naomi Kolovich

INCREDIBLE space!! I was so nervous to try my first pole class but as soon as I entered the space, the teacher was so welcoming and took time to learn everyone's names and pronouns. The heels class was challenging but again the teacher took the time to make sure everyone was caught up to speed. I've never felt more included and welcomed in a space than at Heartfelt. Vinny truly puts his whole heart into what he does and cares about the community he's building. Columbus is so lucky to have this studio!

Gabriela Torres

I have been anticipating the opening of Heartfelt Pole Studio for months and it turned out to be everything I wanted and more! The community at Heartfelt is so welcoming and encouraging. As for pole, the instructors are amazing in their own practices but also amazing teachers. All levels of experience can learn and thrive here and I already feel like I've learned so much after 2 weeks! Not only do they have different Pole style classes but they also have dance classes as well.There is something here for everyone. Can't wait to continue my movement journey at Heartfelt!

Sara Lucas

I love Heartfelt. It’s a bunch of kind people moving because it’s fun and feels good. Also, the instructors are talented af. Try something new, no judgement, HF is there for you.

Sophia McGuire

I've taken a few classes at Heartfelt now and have had fantastic experiences each time. The instructors are kind, welcoming, and take time to work with each individual student during their practice. Heartfelt is truly dedicated to creating a space that is welcoming for EVERYbody, and this intention certainly shows in their pole studio, too!

Matthew Pino

FINALLY, a queer owned pole studio in Columbus! The atmosphere is very inclusive and the instructors are so talented! I took a class this morning and felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. I had so much fun and am excited to take my next class.

I've been in the pole and aerial community for awhile. I've been to every studio in the area, and many in and out of state, meaning I know what to look for in a studio. I was excited to see a new one pop up and visit. I truely believe you can learn something from everyone and was excited to learn from more people in the community. I visited the open house and took a flow class. This place was... a bit shocking to say the least. I take leaving a negative review very seriously and don't do it lightly, but I decided to give my perspective so potential pole goers can make safe, educated decisions. TL;DR. The intructors are positive and encouraging and the studio is clean and nice looking, but poles are unsafely rigged, of cheap construction, and none of the instructors are actually certified to teach pole. Both huge safety concerns. - Elaboration: 1) The poles feel hollow (these poles are not solid metal like standard poles, big yikes), spin only (even though static/spin hex joint poles has been standard since 2005, it's 2022 guys. Plus you physically can't do any dynamic or basework pole on spin, it's very limiting. Tell me the suits here don't do pole without telling me they don't do pole), and the rigging is exposed at the top and bottom, can I say yikes again?! And no cheap loose plastic at the bottom doesn't count as securings your rig. There's a reason why socket mounts are industry standard. I could definitely dent the pole if I threw something hard at it. **NOT SAFE FOR TRICKS**. 2) Certification ensures your instructors know how to SAFELY teach tricks, progressions, regressions, and know basic exercise science. Just because someone can do X thing doesn't make them good at teaching it. I don't think I'll be coming back; I really wanted to like this place I did, and there are some really talented instructors here from all walks of the dance world. But the studio is so ill equipped. Every other studio in Columbus, Cleveland, and most I've visited out of state uses Xpole certs. And this is the first studio I've ever visited that didn't have safe, industry standard, rigging and poles. Looking at the website, this appears to be a chain, not a dedicated pole studio. I'm not sure the company knew what were getting themselves into by trying to insert themselves into the pole world, all while obviously not educating themselves on it, which to be honest, as a member of the community, rubbed me the wrong way. If they fixed the glaring safety issues, I'm sure this studio has great potential. Regardless I'm excited for this place to introduce more people to the wonderful world of pole. 5 stars for the instructors, 1 star for the actual studio = average to 3 stars.

Lea Math

The class was so fun and the staff were able to customize the lesson for each level of dance. The 2 classes I took with Grace PoleLeopard were great and I highly recommend her and the studio.

Seph Sherman

How special and important it is to have a space like this in Columbus, and what a great addition to the neighborhood. I did my first Pole Basics class and it was such a stress-free experience (mentally, physically I was very sore afterwards!) I think my favorite thing is that there are so many classes that I can be flexible between the AM and PM, since I work in the Food and Beverage industry- it can be tricky to do classes that only happen in the evening. But also having the pass really opens up your options between their 3 studios. Kudos to the entire Heartfelt Team, really excited about this experience.

Bianca JeLani

This is such a great place! I love how welcoming and encouraging everyone is here. There are so many different types of classes and they’re all beginner friendly so someone like me who is working on confidence can still feel comfortable no matter what class I take. I always leave class feeling great and a little more confident.

I came to pole basics as a brand new pole student, and the staff at the studio were so welcoming and inviting to newbies! I felt comfortable and safe to try out something I've never done before. Not to mention the design of the studio is so freaking cute!

Tonnisha J. English-Amamoo

Absolutely LOVE this studio! It's so pretty and bright and everyone is super welcoming. No matter where you are in your pole journey I highly recommend checking this place out! Can't wait for my next class :)

Audrey Crites

This studio is so welcoming and inclusive (just like all heartfelt studios). Great for beginners! The instructors will hype you up and give you all the confidence to try new things!

Ayanna Cash

So happy to have another addition to the heartfelt movement. Got to meet so many amazing people so far and love that they kept safety in mind with this style of movement. I’ve taken a few classes with Terrance and have loved learning from him and adding pole into my own journey with his help.

Kirsten Long

I went to my first class at Heartfelt Pole Studio this evening and absolutely loved it! Pole workouts are way out of my comfort zone and Gracey made me feel so comfortable and confident that I can’t wait to come back!!!

Taylor Fehrenbach

Aspen was so patient, encouraging, and crazy talented as both a dancer and teacher! I walked in thinking there was no way I could physically do half of the things I ended up doing in my FIRST CLASS. As always, Heartfelt creates such a positive, accepting community and I’m already excited for my second class ❤️

Rebecca Rogers

If you want to feel comfortable and do a fun workout, I recommend the pole classes at Heartfelt. Bring a friend! The more the merrier. Shout out to Gracey for her patience and energy as I bumbled around :)
