From the reviews

Marz Aerial Arts & Fitness is an amazing place to train. All of the instructors are compassionate about aerial arts. It’s a very loving and carrying community. If you have ever thought about trying any aerial apparatus or living out your P!NK dreams Marz is the place to go.

★★★★★ — Cheyenne, Oct 2022

I did a private two hour long silks and lyra class with my mother (complete beginner), myself (experienced pole dancer), and my sister. Marz made the class a lot of fun and accessible for all three of us despite the mixed level. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Lilly, Aug 2024

Marz Aerial Studio is an amazing facility with such a welcoming atmosphere. Marzanne, the owner, truly goes above and beyond—she’s incredibly helpful, supportive, and makes everyone feel comfortable from the moment they walk in.

★★★★★ — Jen, Feb 2026

I only went for a handful of classes before I ended up moving states but the times I went were fantastic! I went for pole classes and that’s very out of my comfort zone, but I had a great time working to build my confidence.

Bachelorette & private parties at Marz Aerial Arts & Fitness

Marz Aerial Arts & Fitness 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 Marz Aerial Arts & 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: 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.
