From the reviews

Ronnie and Michelle are absolutely outstanding! From the moment you walk in, you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Their streamlined appointment system makes the entire process so much faster and more efficient than waiting in long lines at other shops.

★★★★★ — Arnold, Jan 2025

Ronnie helped transfer in a nice wheelgun and navigate through all my troubles. I messed up my order a few times and they were very patient and gave good advice. Also, checked out Michelle's boutique, some fun stuff there, great to appease the better half.

★★★★★ — Allen, Oct 2017

Ronnie and Michelle run a great FFL and are the coolest people. They're both very respectful and will make you feel welcomed. They make the paperwork process a smooth one. You'll communicate mostly through text which is where they'll send you clear instructions.

★★★★★ — Adrian, Apr 2023

Amazing place with amazing prices and a great friendly atmosphere. I live in Oakland so I always have to battle traffic going to Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek but it's always worth it. Ronnie and his crew are absolutely amazing and I've already recommended him to all of my friends.

Your first pole class at HIP HOP GUN SHOP x CHURCH OF POLE DANCE 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.
