Vixen Academy

I was introduced to Vixen Academy through Classpass, and it was an amazing workout. I took the Cardio Sculpt class with Barbie and would recommend to anyone looking to improve their cardio endurance and /​or strength training.
The workout consisted of HIIT (high intensity interval training) cardio to get your heart rate UP, followed by endurance and weight training (squats, lunges, planks and the usual fun). Used free weights, elastic resistance bands and gliders as equipment. The music was a great mix of old and new jams which kept me motivated throughout the class.
Vixen Academy is a large, spacious studio in MiMo /​Little Haiti neighborhoods of Miami. There is street parking outside the studio, and I would try arrive early to find a good spot.
Barbie is a friendly, knowledgable instructor who will push you to your max! The class was challenging in the best way possible, and I would recommend this class to anyone looking for a stellar workout!

Outstanding! If you want to be a strong, powerful woman, you need Vixen Academy! I started going to Vixen Academy for strengthening and enhancement of my pole dancing abilities. I have been pole dancing for fitness for about 2 years now. I have been to several different studios. Barbie is one of the most talented, well rounded, educated fitness instructors I have worked with. She is a certified fitness, pilates and pole instructor, and her dedication to helping others achieve their fitness goals shines through in everything she does. Barbie pushes each individual to perform at the best of their abilities and feel great about themselves. Tired of your «typical» boring work out… Do yourself a favor, take a class at Vixen Academy, work outs made fun!

I signed up for a pilates class at Vixen Academy through ClassPass. I wasn’t totally sure what to expect because I don’t have much experience with Pilates, but I’m so glad I decided to go! The studio was very clean and inviting and Barbie, the studio’s owner, was extremely welcoming. Throughout the hour-​long class Barbie made sure that I understood each move and was performing it correctly. Even when things got tough (which they definitely did!) she did a great job of keeping me motivated and helping me stay strong for the whole workout. Her choice of music was awesome, too! Once the class was over, she was able to suggest some other classes at her studio that might be a good fit for me, and I definitely plan to check them out.
