Amazing Workout!!

by Laineylover

I have been training with a personal trainer for months... three times a week with cross training and boxing. I wanted to mix up my workout and work on training my self confidence at the same time. This workout has accomplished both goals. I am amazed at how quickly I picked it up and how helpful all the girls were. I can't wait to go back!

• Pros: a solid all over body workout
• Cons: you will be sore and bruised :)

Definitely Fun!

by triki2u

I really enjoyed my first week of the Progressive series. I was a bit nervous to start, but the instructor makes you feel very comfortable and the atmosphere is great. I get a good work out, a good laugh and I am meeting new people....other moms like me that just want to try something new and have a good time. Fitness should be fun, and this place definitely delivers!

• Pros: Instructors are great

Get Ur Freak On...

by Lizzziekins

There is no place like TGR. I have taken several level one classes and each time I walk out of there with a sore body - sore muscles I didn't even know I had. TGR is a very open place and although I don't consider myself super sexy, I sure did when I walked out of that class. You should definitely go to try something new, get in touch with your sensual side, and get a kick ass workout to boot.

• Pros: LOTS of upper body work
• Cons: You might have to share a pole

Be Internally Transformed!!!

by CamilleDavis

I came to the girls room totally apprehensive and unsure what to expect. As soon as I walked in for a class I felt comfortable and accepted. The TGR environment is so welcoming and accepting of every individual woman. In fact, they really emphasize the fact that every woman in class is beautiful, unique, and sexyy!

You dont go to the girls room to "become sexyy" you go to the girls room to realize that you "are" sexyy!

And after working out and learning fun routines I was able to look in the mirror and see myself in a new light. Weeks later I even noticed my body becoming alot more toned. (All that flab I couldnt stand...GONE!!!

Now, I can go a day without visiting the girls room!

• Pros: Gain self confidence and feel great while working out!
• Cons: Its hard work! But worth it!!!

The Girls Room - Exotic Dance, Burlesque & Pole Dance Studio

by JGirl

I was tired of the gym, the same old routine, I was looking for something different and challenging in the form of exercise. Therefore, I researched "pole dancing" via the internet in the DFW area. I contacted several places, however, The Girls Room returned my call immediately, with such prompt customer service, I was impressed and paid my membership dues without attending a class. My first class was one month ago and it has been an AWESOME experience. At the first class, as a beginner, I was somewhat hesistant and did not what to expect, but the owner/founder and instructors were and continues to be energertic and patient with every student. They insure that everyone uses correct form on every pole trick. A month later, I now have defined musles in areas that were once flab. I've also extended my membership.

The Girls Room and pole dancing is my new stress reliever. I highly recommend this place....

• Pros: FRIENDLY AND AWESOME ENVIRONMENT

Confidence in 1 class

by Lacyb

I have been going to class at The Girls Room in Frisco with Karyn and I have fallen in love with dancing all over again. She teaches you how to be flirty and confident each class. I am so happy to have found The Girls Room! I feel so much better about myself and now have the confidence I need to be the best pole dancer my boyfriend have and will ever see! Thanks so much and look forward to many more classes!

• Pros: Best class to gain confidence and feel younger!
• Cons: You get addicted and want to go more and more!

You'll wanna go again and again!

by M4Dance

I started going to The Girl's Room when my daughter was 11 months old. It was difficult at first, but soon, I could fly around the pole. It's been about three months, and the effects on my body are AMAZING! I have tone and strength that are better than before I was pregnant.

And best off all, it's strength for movement. I occasionally have to move and get behind my clothes dryer to work on it. It is so much EASIER since I've been working out at The Girl's Room.

It's also been great for my spirit. I have a safe outlet to explore my sensuality, something I don't get to do much since I became Mommy. It is so empowering to workout, smoothly moving from one move to another, among a group of women. You can just relax and express yourself without any worries of folks "taking it wrong."

I'm also getting to fulfill my childhood fantasy of doing gymnastics. I don't mind pushing my muscles because it's so much fun!

TRY IT!!

• Pros: I've gotten so much stronger
• Cons: It's addictive!

Never again...

by Shortstak

The class canceled, I rescheduled for another day, only for it to start late. The teacher seemed very unorganized and not in control of the entire class. As I looked around the room I noticed other people, working there, sitting around talking, that seemed to me they were talking about those in the class. This was an uncomfortable feeling. On the phone the lady who I spoke with was energetic, nice and warm; however, once at the studio and paid; I was disappointed. It’s painfully obvious this studio is here to get your money and move on!

This experience ruined my expectations of pole dancing. I’ll keep searching for another option.

• Pros: Nice on the phone...
• Cons: "clickish" not warm in person..over rated!

Don't Believe The Hype!

by dtgirlfab

I started at The Girls Room with excitement and high hopes of finding a new fun way to exercise. And just like one of the previous reviews, I concur that they are only interested in your status or success rate at the studio, when you are paying your money or if you are super hot.

The thing I most liked about this place was that it promotes the beauty in every woman; however, it became abundantly clear what they are really after.

When it comes down to it, they are a business and looking to make money. They are not concerned about your progression in the classes, how many people you refer or how much money you've spent with them. They only want to know when you're going to spend more money and then a polite "goodbye - see you at the next class" follows the conversation. And it doesn't hurt if your super hot....they like anyone that looks good walking into the business.

If you want to take these types of classes then just pay for it class by class....after all the membership doesn't reduce the class price by much and their class schedule changes so much, it's tough to know what does and doesn't come with the membership. Actually, the only classes included in an "ultimate membership" package is yoga and pole. Everything else is...guess what.....and ADDITIONAL COST. Shocker!

My best recommendation - find another place to do this. The business and owner/person that operates it, aren't trustworthy or reliable! You WILL be sold out for the next best customer!!

• Pros: Cool work out room
• Cons: Expensive and Superficial

Now in Frisco too!

by westindie21

Hello, I attended pole dancing level one twice within one week and the workouts are superb! The atmosphere is fun, diverse and contagious! I absolutely love the students, staff and most of all instructors!! Coincidentally, a stranger recommended Toys' classes from general conversation with a young lady I bumped into at the mall. We begin conversing about Dallas fitness and The Girls Room name was mentioned. WOW!! That's speaks volumes in itself!! She complimented Toy and how wonderful her classes are. So I thought I'd give it a shot. Now I can contest to everything she said!! First of all, pole dancing is truly a workout! I'm STILL sore!! My entire body!! The last 10-15 min of class is a killer!! I can not wait for my body to transform into a powerhouse!! She talked and addressed everyone needs during class, not to mention the class was HUGE! she constantly encouraged us to challenge ourselves even when I wanted to give up!! And she enlighten us on female empowerment, how dominating US women are, and embracing the most vital & essential part of my body - the core! I never, ever would have given pole dancing this type of thought. She changed any negative stereotypes and gave me a different perspective on life in general. I guess she's training two other ladies who want to be instructors too! They did a great job! She allowed them to teach a small segment of the class. I think her name was Tasha, a really cute Persian girl (I believe) At any rate she was very pleasant and took total control! She gave a huge amt of knowledge, "taking" our business away from men, and knowing when you to give a piece of yourself away. This was done all within 10 min of walking! I can't wait to meet the other instructors and take their classes!! I'm on my way to becoming a regular! I'm pretty sure I'll be a member sooner than later!!

• Pros: flexible and fantastic
• Cons: none
