From the reviews
If you haven’t checked out the new mat classes yet, you really should! I get to experience them as both a teacher and a student, and they are fantastic. Scroll down to see the super cool room I’m lucky to teach in—and take classes in too. The week kicks off with Sarah.
Adrianne, Sarah, and Danielle are exceptional Yoga, Pilates, and Buti instructors. I have had the pleasure of experiencing their teaching firsthand, and I can confidently say they bring professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care to every class they lead.
I was looking for something to do as a day date with my wife and came across Refuge Aerial. I reached out to get information and see if it was possible to do a private lesson to start out. Alaina reached out and set me up in no time with a private class. We had so much fun.
Adrainne’s Buti yoga classes are a great workout for women and men of all ages. Buti Yoga is high-intensity that blends yoga and plyometrics, that focuses on core strength, flexibility, and cardio.
Your first pole class at Refuge Aerial Fitness & Performance
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.
