From the reviews

I went to this beginners Pole Fitness at Pure Poles Fitness to try it out. I had an open mind and that allowed me to learn technique and have fun at the same time. Ms. Bianca was an amazing instructor.

★★★★★ — Fedaily, Jan 2018

Booked a class for six for my birthday outing this past weekend! Bam is an amazing instructor very patient, generous and kind! The class was extremely fun and fulfilling! I learned some new moves and got a great exercise out of it! The studio is very lowkey and private. It’s a judgement free and come as you are space!

★★★★★ — Charismatic, Dec 2022

Pure Poles is an awesome way to get in touch with my sexy and workout at the same time! Love the way the instructors focus on us students individually and take time to make sure we get the steps. Amazing 😉

Bachelorette & private parties at Purepoles & Aerial Fitness

Purepoles & Aerial 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 Purepoles & Aerial 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.
