I wish that Diva Den was closer to Hillsboro, because the commute is the only complaint that I have. I have never been a person to enjoy going to the gym, or traditional exercise, but seriously, this place is amazing. I love the pole dancing, and the classes, so non-traditional and fun, and it helps someone like me, who usually has NO rhythm, actually feel kinda of sexy.

THIS PLACE IS EXTRAORDINARY!! I have used many Groupons trying to find somewhere fun to dance and work out and EVERY other time, the staff and clientele were either intimidating. I would either get a closed clique kind of vibe or in one case, distinct feelings of unwelcome because I didn't know their routines, habits, or I unknowingly stood in someone else's usual spot. Diva Den? Oh my freaking god!! I don't think I was made to feel this welcome since my last birthday party! For friggin' serious - I called to figure out how to activate my account and the woman who helped me, Valerie, could not have been more patient, helpful, and pleasant. A few times I went, I wasn't sure which room my class was to be in and every time, the front desk staff on duty gladly showed me to the room the class was in without even a flicker that implied I was an inconvenience, which would have been fairly reasonable given that I was asking them to walk me to class like they were my mother on the first day of kindergarten. The classes?? EVERY instructor I've taken a class from has been kind and patient and helpful AND more importantly, the classes are challenging but ABSOLUTELY SO MUCH FUN. Hashim, the instructor of a class that starts at 5:30am gave me individual help and encouragement despite the early hour and my abysmal ability to keep up with the regulars (who were also willing to help me get into their routines). Rosella is the instructor for "It's a Groove Thang!" and she makes the class SO fun - she's enthusiastic and energetic and her dance moves are less mind-boggling and complicated and more fun than other dance workout classes I've taken. By that, I mean, she gives you choreography that is delightful even if you are not as...coordinated as others (take it from me, as my friends always refer to me "dancing" in quotes). "It's a Groove Thang!" is easily my favorite dance workout class I have EVER taken and I have tried MANY. I took "Center of Gravity" with Jody and since Valerie was at the front desk that day, she kindly tipped Jody off that I was new (Valerie is a GD ANGEL). Jody helped me through all of the movements. I was SO scared before signing up for this class because it involves fabric slings hanging from the ceiling and I worried I'd end up tangling myself up and flopping around helplessly like a flying goober while the rest of the class looked on in perplexity and disdain. I couldn't have been more wrong. Jody helped me with everything before I even had to ask and the others in the class seemed to want me to succeed as much as I wanted to! And the class was DELIGHTFUL. I felt incredible afterward. I don't have a single negative word to say about this place. This review may sound like overenthusiastic hyperbole, but I don't usually gush. I just genuinely believe that this place is a wonderful, WONDERFUL place to go, workout, chat with inexplicably helpful and kind people. It is SO worth your time, money, and even commute! I have recommended it to all of my friends because it is a BLAST and a half and I have thoroughly enjoyed every single visit from beginning to end! It doesn't really have to be said, but to be clear aka redundant: HIGHLY. HIIIIIIIGHLY. RECOMMEND!!

At first I was intimidated by this "boutique" gym. Then I went to my first pole dance class. I need a stronger word, "love" doesn't cut it! Everyone, instructors and classmates alike is so supportive and friendly that it always feels like a girls night when I go. I love the club lights, they make me feel sexy and the routines are fun. Kristin talked to me a bit and then not only recommended that I use my free week but suggested some specific classes for me that I love. I can't do boring workouts and here I don't have to, I can do burlesque dancing, aerial yoga (this has just about fixed my car accident owies) and sexy stretching to my heart's content! I LOVE THIS PLACE and my new bubble butt. It feels like I'm going to the spa...and there are spa services on the premises so.... :) Try it, you will love it!

This is literally my favorite place to be. Surrounded by beautiful (and I mean inside and out!) supportive, fun ladies, great music, laughs, and fitness! They offer a free week to try it out before you buy a membership which is great. My favorite classes are boot camp, groove, and fit chick. although really, I love them all!! :)
