I contacted Julia to be a guest teacher at my first yoga retreat this past August in South Haven. She was easy to work with everyone loved the pole workshop classes that she taught. Although I personally didn’t get to take a class with her, I hope to be able to in the future.

This place is great. The classes are fun. The atmosphere is set just right. The instructors are really nice and helpful. The place is smaller and does not have a ton of available classes, so book a spot in advance. There is lots of parking available. Give it a try if you have not already.

★★★★★ — Misty, Sep 2018

Seriously can’t rave enough about this place! The community is full of strong and encouraging people! All the instructors are supportive and really care about you building confidence and strength! Look forward to class every week! :) if you get a chance to take a class do it!

Your first pole class at Fly Fit Pole Fitness and Aerial Studio

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.
