Could not be more obsessed with a way to work out. Yes it’s hard, but it is SO much fun!! I grew up dancing, but you don’t need any dancing ability in order to take these classes. If you just like dancing around to loud music, this is the place for you :)

Tried block 21's free trial last night. We joined a dance workout class. They were very welcoming and made sure me and my friends felt comfortable as newbies. I was impressed by the workout we got from this! We left sweating but did not even feel like we worked out because we were having so much fun laughing and dancing. The prices on the website seem reasonable as well last nights class seems to run $14-16 if I did not have a free trial pass which is not bad for an hour workout. I definitely will be coming back again.

Block21 Fitness is an amazing place. I attended over 130 classes in about 9 months during the COVID pandemic, and it has changed my life and my relationship with my body.
I still remember the nerves of walking into my first class, but I was welcomed by Sally so warmly, and she made me feel right at home in the studio. The coaches bring energy, and make it feel like one big dance party every class. I've never had more fun working out. Everyone should Block21!!

If you're scouring the internet for a fun new way to exercise, and you're reading this review--look no further--Block21 is the actual best. I've been going for about three months now, and I have never once dreaded it. I always have a blast, class is over in a snap, and I wish it wasn't!

Great instructors, welcoming space and community. As someone who has never taken any type of dance class before and is in her mid 30s, I was pretty intimidated going into it, but everyone has been fantastic and so supportive. One of my favorite parts of the day <3

I LOVE block 21! The lights make you feel like you're at a club, and all the instructors have crazy energy to hype you up. They know everyone by name, and everyone knows each other at class. I moved to Chicago, & I haven't found a place nearly as good. This is honestly the place I miss most about Denver! <3

High on life thanks to BLOCK21 Fitness! Dance cardio at Block 21 Fitness is like hip hop version of Zumba.
So insanely fun if you like dancing. They have neon lights so you feel like you're on stage performing while working out. Instructor is high energy, so lovable, and fabulous. I look forward to the days of the week I go to this workout!

Took my first class this weekend, Perform with Quiana, and, OMG, I loved it. If you've ever done Ujam or BodyJam, this format is similar in that you learn choreography and build on it, and build speed.
Everyone was so nice and so supportive of each other! They were rooting for us new kids, for sure, and even though we were all masked up, the room was filled with smiling eyes and pure joy.
Dance experience is not required, but, at least for Perform, comes in handy. But, the room is pretty dark, so if you're not feeling like performing, per se, it's easy to blend in, dance, and

There is not enough praise I can give to Block21 fitness both pre and during Covid. The instructors have all been very encouraging and give you a fantastic workout even if you're shy about dancing it out. It really is like a dance party and everyone that goes is very encourag with no bad vibes at all. They keep the place spotless and are quick to notify changes in class sizes or potential Covid breaches.
If you need a mask soaker of a workout, give Block21 a try 😅

I cannot say enough good things about Block21! This studio is incredible, the instructors are so energetic and friendly. From my very first class, I felt as if I were a part of a community that actually wanted to get to know me. Every class here is so positive and leaves me feeling so good about myself. This is such a special space, and I highly recommend classes here to anyone who is interested in a laid back supportive environment.
I was incredibly lonely and depressed during quarantine, and going to Block21 completely changed my daily life. Thank you to this incredible studio for saving my

BLOCK21 has been the greatest blessing to my health and mindset during the past 6 months. I am strangely grateful to Covid/the pandemic for forcing me to slow down and seek out positive new ventures for myself--which led to discovering this gem of a fitness family through one of their fabulous instructors, Emily.
Never in my 33 years have I LOOKED FORWARD to a workout-- until now.
I have always hated the boring grind of your typical gym. To me, hopping on a cardio machine has always felt like a chore... watching the time pass oh so slowly. What a drag, amirite?!?
Not at BLOCK21!! The music

Oooohh this was a good one!
The bf was out of town, so I decided on getting in on a good workout in the city. A cardio dance class? Definitely something he wouldn't mind missing and I'm a sucker for an awesome class workout.
I used my OnTheHouseApp (awesome for the Denver area) and booked Sally's 50 minute 10am Block21 Signature class for free. The website claims this is 80% cardio and 20% strength - the perfect class to try for a newbie like me. And guess what? That site is absolutely right.
The room isn't very big, but the 30 or so people in the class were not crowded

OH MY GOSH THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about this workout!! You know that feeling when you are all alone in your room and you are JAMMING out doing your own thing? That was this class!!!! No judgements, no one mocking you, you are just rocking out doing your own thing! I went to my first class last week and I have been thinking about it ever since then. I could not believe the high I got from feeling so free dancing and shaking it all out! All while getting a fantastic workout! My fitbit said I burned 450 calories from the class!!!
There were so many times

This is the best workout ever! Not only is it so so much fun, but it's also actually a good workout that makes you sweat! I personally love the Signature class because you can really let yourself go and get into it. The dances are fun, it doesn't matter at alllll if you are a good dancer, and it's super easy to follow. It's worth it to get the unlimited membership because you will want to go all the time.

Top 3 things to know about BLOCK21:
1. You DO NOT have to be a *dancer* or someone with a dance background to love this class.
2. You'll blink and the 50 minute class will be done (and you'll be drenched in sweat!)
3. Sally (the instructor) is a badass. She keeps the energy going the entire time, and you can't help but feel it!
Truly, this is the perfect group exercise class for me. I have been on the hunt for years for a class that I would want to keep coming back to (I even tried Class Pass once in hopes of trying ALLLL of the classes) and I'm telling you, THIS IS IT, PEOPLE

Awesome workout with a fabulous instructor! Sally's classes are just plain FUN! It doesn't feel like a workout. She mixes some repeat moves, so you can feel like you're learning steps and improving, with new stuff every class - it's never the same ole thing. Best of all, there is ZERO judgement in this class. It's all about having a great time while getting a good workout in dancing to some awesome music!

This class is my absolute favorite! I REALLY hate cardio but this class is so fun and Sally is such a great instructor that I find myself consistently coming back for more! The sense of accomplishment after class and the support from the other attendees after working up a sweat is amazing. It's my favorite night of the week and I would absolutely recommend if you're looking for a great workout.

I have been going to Block21 once a week for a bit over three months now, and I love it! I never really worked out before and would quickly abandon group exercise classes due to embarrassment or feeling as though I couldn't physically keep up. This class is hard, make no mistake, but it is so much fun, and Sally so encouraging, that before you know it you've made it through the hour and you're feeling accomplished.
For my story, I was a dress size 8 the day I started Block21, I am a busy mother of two, and also just found out that my husband wanted to pursue a life with someone

I did 10 classes before I left Denver and loved this studio. On my Fitbit, I average burned 450-600 calories a workout and Sally is such a great instructor! The choreography is well thought out and I felt myself just get better over time. She does a good job of mixing up stuff already done with new routines so I was never bored. Occasionally I attended another class with a different instructor and the choreography was consistent (which means they really take the time to plan). Both instructors were also very encouraging which helps continuing to dance hard despite being fatigued. The lights are
