From the reviews

I felt like I had to write a review because I’m so glad I began my pole journey here with Melissa a few weeks ago! She is an incredibly dedicated and wonderful instructor, and so welcoming. Highly recommend coming here!

★★★★★ — Imani, Apr 2022

The class was fun and the instructor was great. She was very friendly and helpful. They did not however have air conditioning so it got a bit warm in there.

★★★★☆ — E, Apr 2019

I highly recommend this studio! The owner & instructor Melissa is extremely nice and welcoming to everyone who walks through her door. She is very patient with her students and is always so excited when they nail a move.

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Mar 2022

An incredible studio with an amazing owner and instructors. Very thorough, thoughtful classes that really allow you to feel like you are in a supported environment! I'm so incredibly happy I re-discovered this studio after the new owner Melissa took it over. I'm THRILLED to go every single week! Plus yoga is coming...

Bachelorette & private parties at Providence Pole Fitness

Providence Pole 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 Providence Pole 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: provided here — a little Dry Hands or iTac helps you stick, and knee pads make floorwork comfy. 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.
