From the reviews

I've been taking classes at Embody on and off for 4 years. The fundementals series i took a few years ago helped with some foundational skills and conditioning. Ive only had great experiences and encouraging instructors at both locations.

Fembody Fitness has been such a welcoming environment since I moved to California from Canada. The Instructors, and Staff are knowledgeable, the members are fun, and it really feels like Family. The new studio is spacious, and so nice!

Amazing brain body immersion workout with seasoned instructors, women only. Explore this and give yourself permission to discover so much more about "you"!! I've enjoyed it many years.

★★★★★ — L., Sep 2023

My friend and I were greeted so kindly by the lady who works at the front desk. She was so sweet and welcoming! She even made us each a cup of tea to make us feel even more welcomed than we already felt! We took a beginner pole class with Aliona, and she was really kind too!

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.

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.
