From the reviews
Smoke and Mirror Fitness holds such a special place in my heart. I currently take Aerial Silks (& Lyra Hoop), Pole, Yoga, and Stretch / Flex. In the past, I have taken various workshops.
Had the best teacher today for my first aerial silks class in a while. Great cleanliness and social distancing as well. Will be back for sure!
I have gone to a good amount of pole studios over the many years that I have been poling on and off (off mostly lol). Let me tell you, this studio is really amazing! The space is huge and beautiful with 9 poles total and various aerial apparatuses. The studio offers a really good variety of classes to pick from.
Smoke and Mirrors is such an amazing studio. First of all, there is plenty of parking, which is always a plus in my book! The instructors are all very helpful when it comes to teaching. They explain moves clearly and they are always available to help spot if you needed it.
Your first pole class at Smoke and Mirrors 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.
