Inner Me Studios — Local services in Houston

BEWARE of becoming a member of the business. The cancellation process is extremely difficult and is treated as an attempt at one last money grab from you and had I realized that when I originally signed up, I would have thought differently about joining.

I was a member for 2.5 years, I enjoyed the classes, the staff was generally friendly, I paid my membership on-time every month and I was an easy-going member. My latest 12-month contract that I began in Feb 2024 was up and I had rolled onto a month-to-month membership which I was on for 8 months when I decided to cancel. I decided to cancel not because I disliked Inner Me but just because I have limited time and wanted to try out something else. I actually planned to possibly re-join in the future. When I reached out to cancel, I was repeatedly ghosted by the business. It took a week, 4 emails, 2 phone calls and 2 text messages to get an acknowledgement of my request. I then was told that I needed to pay for another month’s membership that I did not want in order to facilitate the cancellation and that the reason for this was to have a “smooth processing of cancellations”. Even though I had completed the 12-month contract I still had to pay another month’s fee to cancel. It became clear to me through the poor communication and additional charge that this business values a short-term money grab over a long-term client relationship. Prior to my experience with the cancellation process I actively encouraged others to attend a class at Inner Me and spoke positively of the business. After my experience with the cancellation process I would now advise others who are interested to stick to 1-time classes and not become a member.

I am sharing this here not to discourage anyone from attending classes but just to think twice about becoming a member. This is information I did not have when I joined and would have...

Went for a beginner's pole dancing class Lindsey was the instructor, however the moment she helped me with changing my pole from static to spin and left saying "ehh..." I knew it was going to be uncomfortable for me. She had a mix of advanced and beginners in the class, she was going from basic moves, to doing advanced flips and spins on the pole, and was encouraging the class to stop and watch the other advanced students instead. That's fine and all but I came to learn/work out, not watch others on the pole, so i would continue to do beginner moves and lifting myself on the pole during these moments, the instructor didn't seem to like that. At one point I was stuck doing a beginner's floor move, while the instructor was doing the same move but more advanced, she saw I was still having trouble instead of helping me she said "If I'm feeling lazy I would do that, but I like to pick my leg from off the floor." how is it lazy when I cant understand the move? She made a ton of off putting comments like this through out the class so rude. After the class she asked me how it was, I told her I had fun, because I was on a pole working out and that was what I wanted. she even complimented me on how I wanted to get a move right and took my time, really? cause I was told it was lazy.

I did call back same day to ask if I can get an actual pole dancing instructor for private lessons versus someone that pole dances for competition, because Im that serious in my pole dancing journey, however Inner Me would rather rope you into bundle for just $9 more. Noooo thank you I'd rather learn from YouTube. My advice is make sure you get instructors that are inclusive, has an actual agenda for the class, and is patient with beginners, also being knowledgeable on human body so that people can safely do pole dancing moves...

I was a Pole Fitness instructor. I came here and until he beginner class and the moves and dances, we did wonderful but the only problem I have is the teachers don’t seem to teach the proper movements or hand grips or anything. They just put the person on the pole and tell them to repeat what they see! As a former instructor, we would teach basically from the ground up on a beginner class as in the type of grip you need to use for whatever movement it is that you’re using or learning to use. Actually, the beginner instructor that I had anyway did not even tell them to repeat what they see. She just did the move and said OK Now y’all do the same thing in my opinion that is extremely. I purposely took a small fall onto my back and the instructor did not even come over towards me at all. She did not say are you OK? She didn’t do anything. She didn’t even look my way but one time so had that been a true beginner or not knowing what she was doing she could have gotten severely hurt and there are no pads That they put under the pole. I always used the pole pads for the safety of all of my students.dangerous for the new beginners who don’t really know what they’re doing and they do not tell you you can use your own hand. Grip people have come in there. I’ve seen them get on the pole and fall because they can’t grip onto the pole as an Now y’all do the same thing in my opinion that is extremely dangerous for the new beginners who don’t really know what they’re doing and they do not tell you you can use your own hand.
