From the reviews

As a first timer, I felt welcomed and guided well by the instructor and classmates who were more experienced. The ambiance of the studio gives off positivity and confidence and it's exactly what I was seeking. The instructor, Andrea, was beyond incredible with her instructions and support.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jan 2023

It was my first time visiting this week, and everyone was so welcoming. The classes were also fantastic! Amy and Nicole are both great instructors. I will definitely be back for more Liquid Motions and FabPole classes - and maybe a few others while I am in the area.

★★★★★ — Cate, Apr 2025

I would highly recommend this studio. Great ambiance Diversity Very clean and covid safe (this studio had sanitizing measures far more involved than other studios I’ve traveled to) I purchased a 3 class pass and took two classes one evening - Pole conditioning and a candlelight floor work class.

★★★★★ — Mercedz, Jan 2022

The overall experience was a 10 out of 10. The instructor Ariella was absolutely amazing, patient, helpful and she had great energy. We did a private class for 3 people, all at different fitness levels but she was able to instruct each and everyone of us at our level.

Your first pole class at Empowered Aerial 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: provided here — a little Dry Hands or iTac helps you stick, and knee pads make floorwork comfy. 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.
