From the reviews

Affordable, great student to instructor ratio, and challenging - Ringstar Studio is a fabulous place for Alreal Yoga and Aerial Silks. I have attended both classes over the past few years and love it. There is plenty of free parking; the studio is both airy and comfortable. This is a no-frills workout place.

★★★★★ — Dorothy, Dec 2021

Went there as an athletic dude and had a great time. Parking is great, and the studio is humble. The studio is on the backside of a long building. I did aerial silks beginner. The tempo is set well from easy to increasingly more difficult moves. If you're open minded and want a gymnastic thing to do, give it a try!

★★★★★ — Cory, Jan 2018

Literally obsessed with this place!! I've taken classes with 2 instructors, Diane and Lilly, and they both provide thorough explanations, have a great attitude when asked to show a move many times in a row, and take care to give individual students specific instruction when needed.

★★★★★ — Deanna, May 2022

Been coming for around four months now for Silks first and then switched to Lyra. Lilly is an awesome instructor who gives tons of variations for the variety of skill levels in her classes (from beginner to advanced).

Your first pole class at Ringstar Studio

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.
