  I’ve been meaning to leave a review, but haven’t had the time or the energy to rave with the right level of hype. I’ve found time now, so here we go.
  
  I’ve been coming here for eight weeks for pole and barre, and I can only hope the glowing review I’m about to leave can convey half the love and adoration I hold for this place.
  
  My journey started with a trial beginner class with the lovely Tessa, and I’ve slowly ramped up my attendance from twice a week to four times a week. Starting next week, I’m actually upgrading my membership to the highest tier to go to classes five times a week, so if that’s not proof of how excellent a time I’ve had here, I don’t know what is.
  
  Facilities: top notch and remarkably clean. The studio itself is new, and they’ve done a terrific job of maintaining their facilities — I’m actually happy to shower here, which is more than what I can say for some of the gyms I’ve been to. Most importantly, the aesthetic of the studio itself is on POINT if you want a nice insta story. It vibes with the best of the inner west so hard, which is fair considering it IS Marrickville. But seriously, from the incense at the front door to the rugs in the resting area to the super tall ceilings, this studio is the epitome of trendy without being too much.
  
  Parking: no dedicated parking space, but not an issue as street parking is plentiful. I’ve been able to easily get a spot no matter what time of the day I come. Sometimes road work makes me take a small detour, which is annoying, but that’s Marrickville for you.
  
  Classes: such a wide range! I’ve tried beginner pole, intermediate pole, barre and stretch, and half the reason I upped my membership to the highest tier is because I loved all of them so much that I wanted to do it every week. Class size is small enough to have the instructor pay you some individual attention without making you feel awkward, and the pacing is just right. All pole classes start with a warm up, and despite being clumsy and injury prone, I’ve never felt so safe at an exercise class before.
  
  Instructors: I could write a novel on how amazing they are, but this review is already too long. But really, I could fill a book singing their praise. They are all absolutely fantastic and warm and supportive and in addition to being excellent teachers, are genuinely lovely humans — frankly, half the reason I look forward to classes is to bask in their presence. They’re THAT nice. Tessa is so soothing, like a cooling balm for my battered soul, and Sylvia is basically sunshine in human form.
  
  Admin: their Instagram and emails are both very responsive, and their app may the best designed class-related app I’ve used in the last five years. (And I’ve used a LOT of them) Seriously, they should win an award for the sheer usability of their app or something.
  
  In conclusion, BSS is my favourite place in Sydney right now and I high key need it to stay around for the next two decades, because it’s cheaper and way more fun than therapy. As a poor student with limited income, I need to make careful choices when it comes to money, and a BSS membership is probably (almost definitely) the best thing I’ve bought for myself in the last five years.
