From the reviews
I love Polarity! I took my first pole class at this studio with a friend who found a Groupon and invited me along. I was fascinated by the immense strength and creativity that the pole instructors had.
Excellent long-term (several year) history of multiple classes a week, here. Laura and other instructors are a gifted and fun. The environment is warm and supportive—not passive aggressive or competitive. No experience is required/there’s no shame in working to grow and improve, everyone is, too!
A Studio That Feels Like Home—Polarity is Pure Magic! Polarity is hands down the most welcoming and empowering dance studio I’ve ever been to! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy—it’s a space filled with passion, creativity, and support.
I very much enjoyed the welcoming and judgement free environment. I've attending two Level 1 Pole classes with Laura and she is just electric. Such a supportive and energetic instructor who pushes her students. She encourages everyone to have fun, ask questions, and feel absolutely hot while learning.
Your first pole class at Polarity 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.
