From the reviews
My initial five start review of FF was after my first class and I would still give it 5 stars. A year and a half later and this is not just a gym for me, but a sanctuary and safe place. Coaches at FF challenge and support each student simultaneously (regardless of experience level).
FlyFreak is an amazing place that is welcoming, supportive, and absolutely inspiring! I’ve been a student here since 2019, and over the years I’ve grown so much—not just as an aerialist, but as a person.
I tried my very first aerial class at Fly Freak in 2018, and since then I've made it my aerial home! The instructors are kind, attentive, and make the safety of the students their number one priority. The studio space is BEAUTIFUL with high ceilings, purple fabric, market lights, and big mirrors.
I love fly freak so much! The community is wonderful. Aerial has become such a passion of mine and I feel at home when I come here. I’ve taken Lyra, sling, silks, barre, yoga and chair dance. All the classes are fun and every single instructor is welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable.
Bachelorette & private parties at Fly Freak Studio
Fly Freak Studio 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 Fly Freak 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.
