The classes they teach
“There are a variety of classes to choose from ranging from strength and flexibility, to different level classes of pole that you can advance through.”
“Pole is not only sensual and sexy, but so athletic!”
“I had never done pole or really danced before, so I was worried about not knowing what I was doing or feeling out of place.”
“As someone who also works long hours and has a long commute, the ease and flexibility of booking an open pole session later in the day is also a huge perk.”

From the reviews
I went to the beginners class and had a great time. I was a little worried as a plus sized person and I’m so glad I went. Shaina taught the class I was in, she and everyone else were so kind, helpful, and encouraging.
It’s honestly so special to finally see their studio dream come to life. And wow… they truly brought something beautiful to the community. 💛 The staff is just as kind, welcoming, and supportive as you’d expect: they make everyone feel comfortable the second you walk in.
I have been attending classes here for over 2 months and doing personal gym sessions as well. The studio is gorgeous and always kept so clean and inviting. The instructors are knowledgeable, very welcoming, and inclusive.
Im so glad COVA opened!! I love the studio, the space is immaculate and clean with such high ceilings. The classes are wonderful with a variety of offerings, from stretch, to conditioning, flow, and regular classes. And the instructors are so kind and supportive.
Bachelorette & private parties at COVA Pole & Movement
COVA Pole & Movement 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 COVA Pole & Movement
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.
