Live It Up Pole Fitness Studio

I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone interest in pole or has done it for a while! Maggie the owner was super patient when it came to memberships and being new to the studio! Teachers here are also super supportive and go above and beyond to teach not only what the syllabus says for the day but what you think are your strengths and weaknesses.
This is one of the few studios I’ve seen in the GTA That not only just does the exotic part of pole! It is an all round workout! They work on every part of the body. During stretch and aerial yoga classes teachers ask students body parts they would like to work on! Very personalized experiences here through every type of class.
If you’re looking for a great workout, dancing, stretching, flying in the air doing aerial yoga then this is the place to be!

I always look forward to the pole classes here, and after class I’m thinking of when I’m going to be at the studio next. That’s how much fun the classes are. Not only are the instructors supportive and encouraging (shout-​out to Iris, who is wonderful), but the students also help each other out with tips and pointers, and cheer each other on. It’s a great atmosphere to be taking classes in.
The pole classes are also great workouts. I agree with a previous reviewer that in addition to learning dance moves, there’s a focus on developing the strength to properly perform new pole maneuvers.
I’ve also been to this studio for a pole party for a friend’s birthday and Jen made it so much fun! We learned a pole routine step by step and managed to do it all together as a group by the end. I highly recommend group parties here too.

I’ve been taking classes here for almost half a year. All of the instructors are super attentive and helpful. They are always willing to slow things down when you’re having trouble. Definitely recommend this studio!

I’ve been going to this studio for half a year and it’s been a great experience. Instructors are really nice and fun. Would recommend it.

Probably one of the only pole fitness studios that focuses on both athleticism and art in all of GTA. I highly recommend both pole and aerial yoga to anyone who is looking to build upper body and core strength while having loads of fun. Maggie, the owner and head instructor is amazing; so are all the other instructors.

I tried aerial yoga for the first time at this studio last week. The address is a bit hard to see from the road at night but there is plenty of free parking. It isn’t really yoga in the traditional sense where you move smoothly from pose to pose, and if you can’t do some of the moves there aren’t really any alternatives. You do require some level of fitness to do this, arm strength and flexibility specifically. The instruction was attentive and ensured everyone’s safety, but since people are at different levels it is pretty slow going. I didn’t work up a sweat but I felt it in my core the next day. I was wearing shorts and was told capri length pants would be better; I was going based on the photos on the website, which show everyone wearing considerably less than that, and the only mention of clothing is that if you tend to sweat to wear something that covers your underarms. The front door opens right into the studio so it was pretty cool in the room which was something I didn’t expect. I would probably go again if it was a little more affordable.

I’ve been to several of the big pole studios around Toronto and I have to say I’ve finally found a studio that feels like home for me! A lot of the other studios I’ve been to lack that one-​on-​one dedication that Maggie at Live It Up provides to all of her students. She’s very attentive and knows how to instruct based on my body and the level I’m at. It’s great to be around an instructor who is a patient and works with you to make it to that next step in your pole practice. She’s never too tired to demonstrate and teaches directly to you. I can tell that she’s genuinely excited when her students progress and that supportive environment is why I keep coming back to this studio!
Another great thing about this studio is that you do NOT have to share a pole. I’ve been to studios where you’re sharing a pole with a stranger in a 1 hour class which essentially means you’re paying full price to spend 30 minutes on the pole. I’ve also found that Maggie is concerned about the safety of her students. She is always there for a spot and will recommend methods to help you enhance your grip. She also makes sure that you have a proper warm up and cool down which I’ve found a lot of other places will skip over, resulting in soreness and injury.
Definitely would recommend this studio to all aspiring pole dancers no matter what level!

I purchased the groupon in July. It was $ 45 for 5 classes.
Maggie is the owner and instructor. She is very nice, patient and attentive. Maggie is also very encouraging and allows you to play around with variations (with her instructions of course!). I have tried Aerial Yoga (a little slow for me but still fun), Intro to Pole (love this!!) & can’t wait to try some more!
The studio is very clean & spacious.
I helped organize a bachelorette here and Maggie was very accommodating. Everyone had a great time and she also bought us mini cupcakes! The session was one hr (5 girls — most places dt require max of 8 ppl), $ 35 each, photo/​video ops, and a chance to play around on the pole and aerial yoga hammock.
I will highly recommend going to Live it up for classes or even a party !!

Have been taken 7 classes, there have very patient and friendly instructors, very professional skill. She makes sure all students achieve something new before leaving the class. I have learned lot and that is the reason I keep coming back to the lesson. :) plus, the place is prefect, clean, large and free parking.
