From the reviews

Going to this pole studio has been such a GOOD thing in my life. Generally speaking, 2021 has been a pretty wrecked year. Altius always gives me something to look forward to, makes me feel extremely confident, gives me a huge energy boost, and has added some much needed happiness and rhythm to my schedule.

★★★★★ — Emilee, Oct 2021

Altius is the Harvard of pole studios. What started as taking a class on a whim to mix up my fitness routine turned into a full on obsession with unbelievable gains in strength, confidence, and abilities.

★★★★★ — Molly, Jul 2024

Couldn't recommend Altius enough! Perfect for the *new to pole* beginners and the experts alike. They prioritize creating a safe, welcoming, and diverse atmosphere where all can come to learn.

★★★★★ — Christina, Sep 2022

Altius is an amazing studio! They truly are body positive and inclusive. As a curvy woman it can be hard to feel comfortable in a work out setting but the environment at Altius is so refreshing. The other members become your support system and cheer you on!

Bachelorette & private parties at Altius Pole Studio

Altius Pole Studio comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.

Your first pole class at Altius Pole Studio

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.
