I bought a Living Social Voucher for $69 which includes 10 classes at a level of your choice. I chose the beginner 1 course, having done a term of beginners at another studio. The studio is one room, and equipped with 10 spinning poles, with wooden floor and a bathroom. Unfortunately the lighting cannot be dimmed, which makes the experience a little less comfortable, but the teacher was friendly on the first lesson. The second week, I was not notified that the class was cancelled, which meant that I drove for 50 minutes for no reason. I sent an email enquiring about this and a class to possibly make up for this, but haven't yet received a reply.
Their classes are normally $265 per 10 week term, and includes a show night at the end of the term. They also offer other classes, such as Burlesque.
They have a facebook page, which I am subscribed to.

I bought a Yummba falafel from here for $9. It was the best falafel I've ever had. It contained purple cabbage, tabouli, salsa, falafel balls, hummous and spinach. It is made fresh so it is the tastiest it can be. I like the location of this place too, as there are tables and comfortable chairs in a cafe style food court in Westfield Level 5.

I came for a brazilian Keratin treatment, which was done by Roni's staff. The process of shampoo, treatment and cut took about 80 minutes in total and it cost me $89 as I bought a deal from living social. Roni seems like a very friendly person, and his staff are also pleasant. My hair has turned out the way I have expected. It is in better condition, but I think the best result I have gotten so far for a keratin treatment would be the salons that use the brand Natura.

You can buy sushi rolls from here for $2 each. They have unique varieties such as creamy potato rolls, as well as the usual tuna avocado, california, seaweed and tempura rolls. I bought a veggie roll and teriyaki tofu roll, which were both tasty, but not amazing.

At about 3pm in the afternoon they start reducing their prices to $5 for a box of hot food. The boxes include chicken fried rice, vegetarian pasta, or fish and chips. I chose the vegetarian pasta. The quantity is just enough for a light lunch or a heavier snack. I asked if there was cheese in the pasta and the lady told me no, but there actually was a bit in there. However, I found the taste to be fine - not amazing, but satisfactory. They could have included more vegetables.
I do surveys from here ocassionally, and I like how you can transfer points to Rewards Central, where you can build up your points to get a gift card or just a bank deposit, which is the most economical. The surveys are not too long, but I don't do them much if I'm busy.
I like how this food court has a variety of cuisines, including Italian, Sushi, Salads, and Sandwiches. The sushi is a little on the expensive side, being $2.80 per roll, but it's a healthy option. 2 rolls makes a good snack. The Sushi place also sells rice paper rolls, 2 for $6.

I had vegetarian hokkien noodles from here (in a container) for $5. It was tasty, but much too oily for my tastes. I prefer less oil and more vegetables. However, it was filling enough for my dinner.
I had a sushi roll from here for $2.50. It contained tofu, cucumber, avocado and lettuce. The price is reasonable, though not the cheapest, the food is of fair quality. They also sell other food in containers for $5, and if it's past 5pm it could be reduced to $4.

I had a small potato salad from here for brunch. It cost me $5.50, which is reasonable, though on the expensive side. However, you can get a vegetarian plate for about $11, which can fill you up for lunch. The potato salad is vegetarian, and quite tasty. I like a good potato salad that isn't too fattening.

Thanks for letting me know about Living Social, a few friends have told me it can be abit iffy when claiming refunds.
I did get a reply to my email and facebook message, which told me that the instructor had been mugged that day, so the class was cancelled. However, I'm able to go for another class to make up for it. They have classes from Mondays to Thursdays.
They have since improved the look of the place, with nicer wallpaper, and dimmer lights. It looks great. Only thing that stops me going back is that the pole bases are jutting out of the ground, which could cause an injury if you are inexperienced with coming down from going upside down.
