Amazing gym. The fantastic staff makes this probably the best run gym in the DMV area.. and I've tried many.

Black owned business! Women owned business! What's not to love?!...I recently hosted my best friends Bachelorette Party in the DC/ Maryland area! I booked a private event here on the mere hopes that the pictures from the website and reviews would be great and steer me in the right direction.... they did! The owner, Crystal, made the process super easy, comfortable, and inviting! The class was an hour long and the instructor killed it. We were a small group of 4 but she didn't short us of the experience. I would definitely go back!!! ??♀️?

I can honestly say this is the very first time I have experienced a boring and long winded pole lesson. The instructor was tired and had no real energy. Compared to other pole dance studios the instructor will go through each section of the routine and than have you put it all together. We were just doing moves. Parking is available so that plus.

Divas and Dolls Fitness is one of my favorite Pole Studios in the DMV area. As pictured, on sunny days, the front entrance of the studio is always filled with bright sunlight - perfect if you need to recharge and get some vitamin D. It's conveniently located in Temple Hills MD, has plenty of parking available, offers a great selection of classes, quality instructors, friendly staff, a bomb Boss Lady, and an amazing atmosphere for community. They offer a wide selection of classes for both pole and fitness of all levels. All of the instructors are knowledgeable about their craft whether that's kickboxing, pole, aerial, yoga, silks, chair flair, or liquid motion amongst others. What I love about Divas and Dolls is that they really break down the movements and help to build a strong foundation and understanding of the movements. And let me not forget, the music is always on point. For those that want to get their feet wet, they have an Intro Offer, which provides you with access to 12 classes of your choice. Additionally, they always provide great events such as Showcases, Glow Twerkshops, Cirque de Soirée, and Women's Day where you can focus on a skill in style or sample certain classes, to see if you want to try them in the future. They also offer drop in classes, speciality classes, series classes, and membership packages. If pole is your thing they offer Pole Levels 1 - 5. In order to move up levels you must signup and complete a series class or test into the level you want. Although, in order to test out, you must know the names of each move as there are no demonstrations. I highly recommend taking a few classes at your level or signing up for a series to grasp the names of the moves and learn what is expected of you. Also series classes are a great way to build community and learn from others that are on the same journey as yourself. Oh and get ready to condition, conditioning is a huge part of pole and helps you to master the moves better. Things you should know prior to visiting are to arrive early to allow yourself ample time to park and check in. The parking lot in the front of the studio has limited spaces and tends to fill up quickly. The spaces are also tight but that's typically the standard for parking in the DMV. If you can't find parking in the parking lot, just drive around back or to the side street next to the hill, and use the steps. And be mindful of the reserved spaces, they're indicated with little brown signs with white letters - you don't want to park in those spots. Divas and Dolls has three studios, a front, middle, and back studio. And two restrooms which are located to the rear of the middle studio. In each studio, there are also cubbies for your belongings, alcohol spray bottles, alcohol wipes, and towels to sanitize the equipment after use. Most of the fitness classes take place in either the middle or back studio. If you're taking a pole class in the front studio, the spacing of the poles is a bit of a matrix and spaced close together. Although, if you're mindful you won't have any trouble. The instructors are also aware so they will guide the class as needed so everyone has room to move. Overall Divas and Dolls is a great studio that can serve all your fitness needs whether you're interested in pole, getting/staying in shape or both.

Thanks to Divas and Dolls, I had the best birthday ever. Our instructor Crystal did an excellent job. They were very pleasant and patient with the people in my party. I can't wait for my next session.

Being in the DMV it has been tough to find pole and aerial classes in DC proper so I stopped looking until I stumbled on an event being held here. I had so much fun! During the event I was able to try their acro-chair, Lyra, and pole silks. The teachers are all knowledgeable and very encouraging. I think what I love the most is that all the instructors look different. Going to a studio like this you will mainly find instructors that are all either fit or skinny. Here that's not the case and they all definitely know what they're doing. I will definitely be coming back.

when I say, I really love this place. I really love this place. They have so many classes to choose from so many nice people. They have teachers that are very easy to learn from and make class fun. They also have merchandise and sell shoes and things that you need for class it's a one stop shop.! If you're looking for somewhere to unwind with yoga, dance, let loose, learn choreography this is the place.

I love this place!!! I tell everyone about it. The classes are fun, you can choose your own schedule, and all the instructors are amazing. I feel comfortable, and everyone is very welcoming. Best suggestion for anyone who wants to take a peak about what DDF is all about, come to a Divas night out event. You won’t regret it.

I booked divas and dolls for a twerk class party. With the package I purchased I was able to bring my own drinks and food. Everyone who attended got a free class to book in the future and the birthday girl recived a week of classes for free! Nicole was a great instructor and it was a great experience overall! Will definitely book a other event with divas and dolls!

I really like this studio and appreciate that it's in my neighborhood. Usually you have to drive into DC and NOVA to find a great studio but that's not the case here. I've taken MixxedFit, Yoga, and Twerk. All were good.

I started with a intro offer and have been hooked ever since the instructors are knowledgeable the facility is accommodating and they have a variety of available classes I myself was interested in pole. I have been going since the new year and since I see such a difference I am so much stronger but also proud of the fact that I’ve made a lot of progress, no matter the body you are in you will feel comfortable and sexier after going.

I did the yoga class and it was nice. They should invest in more sound proofing so the varying music, playing during the varying classes, doesn't clash. I look forward to taking more classes

Liked it at first but Classes with markita starts on her time and her attitude is not so welcoming. Markita do more technical not fun or sexy moves. She rushes you out knowing we have at least 10mins of class left not cool i loved paola Pole 1 she needs to be the teacher permanently! it was sexy fun and relatable very up to date on her moves.
