From Mind to Body

We were looking for something fun to do for a bachelorette party and came up with the idea that intro to pole/​lap dancing would be a blast. It was, in fact, fun but it was clear that the instructor was more concerned about cheating us out of the hour than she was about teaching us things. We spent 10 minutes picking out shoes, which, of course, she did not bother to let us know was part of the hour. There were also 2 poles but 1 was broken and she said she only had time to teach us 1 spin. When we asked if she could teach the bride-​to-​be something else, she offered to take pictures instead… Pictures? For $ 280/​hour? I think we could take our own pictures for that price. We also spent our time getting the cash together to pay and we were out the door before the hour was over.
I think it was a great idea for the weekend but I definitely would go to a different studio. I called the company to complain and they said they would get back to me… I has been 4 days with no returned call– and after looking at the other reviews, it seems that this is the way that this company operates.

I wish Unilocal would do negative stars! Avoid this place like the plague… I find it very funny that all of the reviews on here are identical, including mine. We had scheduled a pole dancing class for a Bachlorette party. We had 11 girls, and they promised at least 6 poles would be available, goodie bags at the event and a free pair of stilettos for the bride to be. Out of those three services THEY advertised, NONE of them were true. Instead of 6 poles, there was 2, the instructor had NO CLUE what goodie bags we were talking about, and now a month after the class, still no stilettos for the bride. The «so-​called» Executive Director Kendall is now ignoring our emails, and is not delivering on what was paid for. Trust me, want to ruin your friends Bachlorette party? or any party for that matter? Just sign up with Mind to Body. Such a waste of money and time…

In theory the classes should have been great. I mean what’s better than girl time, getting in shape and not feeling like you’re dying at the gym to do it? Not a whole lot really. I took classes when they were still located at the top of a business high rise in la Jolla. They only had two poles, which was fine when there were only 6 girls, but really too few when there were more than 10 ladies in attendance.
For the amount of money I was paying for unlimited classes, almost $ 300 a month, I said screw it, and bought my own x-​pole for the same price. If you really want to learn to dance, and want a caring instructor, hit up pole sinsations in hillcrest. Soo much better and more reasonable pupil to pole ratio. I think they have up to 5 poles now?
If you’re on the fence as to whether or not you want to «sexy dance» to get in shape. two words: DO IT. It’s not creepy or weird and it will tone the crap out of your body. not to mention make your boyfriend wonder what the heck you do for an hour, with a pole and 8 other women. duh. get in shape. haha.

Just thought I change my star rating to 1. I received an email last year from someone from «Mind to Body» stating that appreiated my review and would send me two coupons in the mail for upcoming classes to give it a try again. Never got the passes, never heard from them again… lol.
Hey lady, if you read this, don’t bother sending them either… took my business elsewhere. Don’t offer things to people and then don’t follow through.

Had I never been to a pole dancing party I may not have known better and thought this was great because our instructor was nice and we had fun. But I have, and I do.
I took a group of 13 girls here for my best friends bachelorette party. The party was inherently fun because pole dancing + 13 girls + bachelorette party = fun; regardless of the local.
However, this studio has only 2 poles on a platform so only 2 girls could dance at a time while the rest of us watched, and many of us were strangers so it was a little odd. Also there is a $ 60 party booking fee (typical) when you reserve the party, but they fail to tell you that this does not go towards the $ 35 per person you will pay for the hour when you get there (uh super lame!) until you have already booked. Plus she had a class right after our party so we didnt even get the whole hour so she could set up.
I have been to Sedusa Studios in San Francisco where there are 11 poles, you borrow stilettos (its a whole different experience), and you get 1.5 hours for the same cost, but no booking fee.
My advice, keep looking. There are other pole dancing places in san diego
