This place is a must go to in Portland! It's dark and you don't need to worry about anyone watching you. Just dance. The people are amazing both the staff and the other members.

Amazing instructors. The vibe is incredibly friendly and welcoming. This will be my new dance studio from now on! If I could give it more stars, I would.

I've been going regularly since 2017. The lights are low. No mirrors. We just follow the instructor on stage + dance it out. Also I've made some good friends @ this woman-owned shop. Highly recommend!

I love going to Pulse. The staff is wonderful and the classes are so much fun. They are welcoming to everyone that attends classes. I feel so safe at PulsePDX.

I absolutely love Pulse. I go most often to Pop Pilates with Donnie, Dance fitness with Donnie and Dance Fitness with Danny. It is the best work out experience I've ever had. I love the community environment and how supportive everyone is of each other. All of the instructors are incredible and make you feel super comfortable while you get a great workout in. I've been going for years now

I have never had a better time working out. So much fun, and my partner tells me I'm glowing when I get home. Worth every penny, they are doing something great here.

I wish I could give this a one million out of 5! I’ve been pretty depressed lately, but whenever I’m here and for a few hours after it’s pure bliss. So much fun, lights/disco balls, good music and zero judgements. I also wanted to say I’ve met four of their employees and idk how they find these people because they are all above and beyond amazing and so so so very nice. My first class I left in happy tears, so thankful I found this place!!! Try it out you absolutely won’t regret it!!!!!

About 5 years ago I suffered a pretty significant back injury, really because I had no core strength. After that, I wanted to find a strength training class to protect my back and joints as I get older. I bought a Groupon for PulsePDX to try some classes and it was the best thing I ever did. I've been a member ever since and have tried many different classes and have gotten much stronger and healthier. They say you have to find exercise you enjoy in order to stick with it, and you can't go wrong with Pulse! If you are partial to group exercise classes, as opposed to going to a gym to walk on a treadmill or elliptical machine (which I freakin' HATE) or lift weights or use the machines, PulsePDX is your place. The studio is set up like a nightclub, with no mirrors, which I love! Every instructor has lots of experience, and there are lots of classes to choose from. Everyone who works there, as well as the community itself, is so welcoming and non-judgemental, which was a huge selling point for me. There is no shaming or talk about weight loss...the focus is simply joy. All are welcome, as well as all levels. You will not feel intimidated here. You can buy a membership, a class-pass (a punch card) or purchase single classes to try. Do yourself a favor and give PulsePDX a shot. You'll be glad you did! Pulse has definitely changed my life for the better!

Still the best place in town for dance fitness! Especially now with U-Jam back on the schedule. ; ) I think U-Jam is a great option if you're looking for an alternative to all of the pop-heavy dance fitness formats out there. (For reference: think Pitbull's Globalization.) I am loving Sarina's playlist right now and the flavor she brings to it with her dancing. P.S. While I think all of the classes at PulsePDX have something to recommend them, I especially like Jen's "Burn" class for strength and stability.

10 years of dancing and Pulsepdx just keeps getting better. The range of classes from repair, strength, Zumba, dance fitness, low impact, high impact - it's all so good, there is something for everyone aged 18 to 80! All the instructors are inspiring, fun, kind and talented. Great music, great choreography, great work outs, big smiles and a warm fuzzy feeling that perhaps everything will be ok with the world - so much more than a basic work out.

No instructions. All regulars who already know the moves. Would benefit from a true beginner class option. I was lost and intimated the entire time.
