From the reviews
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Studio itself is beautiful. Class was amazingly fun and instructor, Butchie Gamble, is t h e best!! I typically feel like an awkward gorilla on pole but Butchie brought out the s a s s, baby.
I had an excellent experience and a decent one during my time visiting. I appreciated the flexibility of my reschedule for the class I initially planned to attend but was not able to make it to. I am a regular user of the Mind & Body app and the staff allowed me to move my lyra class for later in the day when I called.
We booked a private lesson at Body and Pole with Gina and she was truly amazing, fun loving, supportive, and full of energy. Gina asked us what kind of music we liked and kept alllll of the hits coming, which made the experience even more enjoyable and personalized.
My friend is a regular and recommended I take a hoop class with her. I was a little nervous at first because I knew the approach would probably be different from the studio I usually attend. But I quickly felt comfortable.
Bachelorette & private parties at Body & Pole
Body & Pole 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 Body & Pole
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.
