From the reviews

Activated Body is a must‑visit every time I’m in town. Angie delivers a challenging, smart Pilates workout that somehow leaves you smiling and feeling more capable than when you walked in. She’s incredible at tailoring each exercise—reformer or not—to your level so you get the most out of every class.

Monica was a very supportive and kind instructor! Many come in without any prior experience to fitness or dance and she made it accessible for us to learn and encouraged us through each routine all at different levels.

★★★★★ — Angel, Jul 2024

I’ve been attending classes at Activated Body for a while now and absolutely love it! Angie is wonderful and such a great instructor. When I told her I was expecting, she immediately made sure I felt comfortable with the different exercises and incorporated pregnancy-safe modifications.

★★★★★ — Jordan, Feb 2026

This is a great studio! I talked with Angie on the phone to find out about their classes, and she was so kind and upbeat that I couldn't wait to sign up. Class with Kiyoko is awesome - patience, personalization, and motivation are all there so if you aren't sure whether it's the place for you I highly recommend giving…

Your first pole class at Activated Body

Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.

Pole is for every body, and it's about strength, artistry, and confidence — not performing for anyone else. If you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
