From the reviews
Cola was such a nice and supportive aerial skills teacher! They were a great teacher, and the class flowed really well. I was there with a group of friends trying it for the first time, and Cola did a great job of balancing between showing the newbies the basics and giving more advanced students attention to keep…
This studio is a treasure. Renee, Kasia, Polly, and every instructor I have had here have been great teachers. Pole is hard. The first class makes it feel like it’s impossible to progress, but sure enough I am progressing. Also the shoes are cool. This is a space for freedom for expression.
I’ve been training at Inspiration Studios in Redwood City for years, and I love it here. They offer both Pole and Aerial classes, each with a distinct vibe. Pole classes are more bold and expressive, while Aerial tends to be calm and focused on flow.
I really loved my class with Allison. It was my first time back after a 5-month break and she was able to provide varying levels of moves/tricks for everyone to work on. Can’t wait to come back!
Your first pole class at Inspiration Studios
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.
