Body Synergy Pole Dancing at One Fitness Academy

Fantastic experience: Best pole class in Birmingham, very friendly and lovely teachers too

Fantastic experience: I had always wanted to try pole but never had the confidence to. I took a leap of faith in October 2022 and booked on to my first pole fitness class at Body Synergy and never looked back! I’ve met SO many amazing women through the classes and pole socials, it’s so nice to feel part of something. I definitely didn’t have any prior dance experience but it hasn’t been an issue as the moves and flows you learn are always broken down so you can work on things bit by bit. The instructors are seriously strong women inspo and truly make the classes accessible. If pole is something you’ve always thought about trying, take this as your sign to just do it! Book the class/the workshop/the event! Pole at Body Synergy has been the best thing I’ve done for myself

Fantastic experience: It took me a while to book some pole lessons as it’s something I always wanted to do but being overweight and now in my late forties, lacking confidence I always made excuses. Anyway having done some research on different pole studios I came across Body Synergy and really liked the vibe. I booked a block of private lessons with Lucille over 8 months ago now, and love it. I attend every week Lucille is fantastic and very patient and really motivated me to do more. If you had told me this time last year I would be able to climb up to the top of a pole and swing around, I would have thought you were joking, but no, I can climb up the pole and have learnt so much more pole moves. I’m so happy I tried, and it’s so much fun. Thanks Lucille for being a great pole instructor

Fantastic experience: Okay not a person to really write reviews but I thought I’d share my experience. I was suggested to try pole, after losing a lot of weight (still not slim by any means) but I wanted to find a way to love my body. I was hesistant af because even though I lost weight I was still quite big, on top of that I wasn’t flexible or athletic in any way. Never have I ever stuck to a sport either lol. But I mustered the courage and went not knowing I’d still be here months later. I remember my first beginners class looking around thinking I wouldn’t be able to do anything, as like anyone else who’s on the bigger side of the scale you would think it’s for women who are more slim fit but boy was I wrong. Women who were different shapes, sizes, ages were doing amazing tricks on the pole I just remember being mesmerised and feeling motivated, that if they can do it then what’s stopping me. Pole has just empowered me to love my body and has given me confidence. My instructors and the girls in my classes have taught me that no matter what shape, size, age or culture you are your body is able to do amazing things with consistency motivation and dedication. Can’t wait to document my pole journey as a plus sized brown girl breaking stereotypes all thanks to one fitness pole dance academy who have made me feel comfortable in my own skin. Thank you for reading.

Fantastic experience: Pole Vibes. My pole journey is a crazy winding road, I started having private lessons with Lucille in September 2022. I have never met such a strong, inspirational woman before. After my first lesson, which was hard, sweaty, hilarious and emotional, I knew that I had to carry on the journey. I am stronger than ever before, both physically and mentally. There is no pre-requisites, just determination and a sense of humour. Any misconceptions of being too old, too big, not strong enough. Leave them at the door. Even when I have had to take breaks from classes due to work and life, Lucille has been a consistent support, checking in, offering strength tips and motivation. The pole girls are like a family, nights and days out. Filled with fun, laughter and silliness. It’s a studio that will bring you confidence, and appreciation of what your body can actually do, if you trust it and learn to love it. Come along and join the synergy family, everyone is welcomed warmly.

Negative experience: I was hesitant to put this up here at first but here we go. Lessons were well taught and the teacher was patient and friendly. But if you plus size DO NOT COME HERE. Not plus size friendly at all even though the website talks about everybody of different shapes and sizes being welcomed. Very unfriendly and cliquey girls were in my group so maybe try a less judgemental and accepting studio instead. Unwelcoming too apart from the teacher. Save yourself the trouble.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Loads of space and really clean. I go to Chrissy's class and would not go to anyone else. Her pole classes are amazing, she is so good at what she does, Great at explaining how to do the moves and so supportive too. Its like one big family. You get to learn a new skill, and it's so fun, it doesn't even feel like exercising. Fully recommend Chrissy as a pole instructor!

Fantastic experience: Booking onto my first class here is the best decision I’ve made. Being a part of this studio’s community is an incredible thing, everyone is made to feel welcome and the environment is so supportive. I’ve never been sporty at all until I found pole, it is so enjoyable that you forget you’re exercising!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to pole fitness classes here for almost 2 years and coming here was the best decision I've ever made. Pole fitness is a fantastic way to get in shape and build your confidence, and the best part is its so fun you forget you're exercising. My favourite thing about going to Body Synergy and how supportive everybody is. We all support and look out for each other whether you've been coming to class for a few years or if its your first day: everybody is a part of the family.

Fantastic experience: Love this place, since starting pole fitness classes I have regained a lot of lost confidence, I've also been welcomed into a new family by everyone who teaches or attends classes. I've never been one to stick at exercise regimes and have zero flexibility but it doesn't matter I love going here, have great fun and have become a better person from being in attendance. If you are considering a fun way to get fit look no further

Fantastic experience: Lucille is an amazing teacher! Having been out of pole for 11 months I'd lost all my strength but after a few months of training with Lucille and Gemma I'm now stronger than ever. The environment in class is friendly and safety as a priority with loads of crash mats available - something which has really allowed me to thrive and build confidence. Can't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I started pole fitness when Dr said I needed to build strength in my hips and I wanted to do something fun. Well it's certainly that. You'd be hard pressed to find a more supportive environment. Because of Body Synergy I went from struggling to walk cross the office at work to signing up for a pole fitness photo shoot! If you have ever thought you'd like to have a play or try something different come join the fun. You won't regret it. All shapes and sizes, all ages (I'm 46 now!!) are welcomed and supported by everyone.

Fantastic experience: After moving to the Birmingham area, I started coming to Body Synergy having done pole before elsewhere. This is without a doubt one of the best pole studios I have ever been to. Everyone including instructors and students are so friendly and welcoming. I've made some great friends here and the support between everyone is amazing. Love love love

Fantastic experience: Been coming to body synergy for 3 years and wouldnt go anywhere else, friendly atmosphere, amazing teachers that boost your confidence! Definitely recommend x
