From the reviews
Okay, this place is totally awesome. I went to one class as I’ve always been curious and I’ve now gone consistently for 3 months. It’s challenging, fun, and a great workout. My first teacher was Amber for intro and she is so great. She’s definitely the reason I came back.
I take Katie's barre fitness class and it's always a challenging workout which I like. The energy in the class is amazing, Katie is a great instructor. She always helps me with my form and pushes me outside of my comfort zone. It's a plus that her playlists are fire!
The teachers are all wonderful and I love the variety in classes they offer all under the same class pass. I’m taking 4 classes a month for $100/month. $25 is the standard dance class rate in my experience.
The flexibility and stretch class with Mai was so great! Mai would go around and give each client a personal massage if the class was a smaller size. I felt things in my muscles that I didn't know I could feel when Mai stretched my hamstrings.
Your first pole class at Embody Alternative Fitness
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.
