From the reviews
There is so much to say about why this studio is the best! All of the classes are so fun and each instructor brings their own unique style to each one. I’m someone who strongly dislikes working out in a gym. Pole dancing has given me a way to stay active while also gaining a supportive community around the sport.
My first class at Soma was with Krista and she is a phenomenal teacher. She has an amazing personality and she breaks every move down very thoroughly. This class is great if you’re looking to get a little sweaty, feel a little sexy, or simply if you’re looking for a fun workout to switch it up!
So much potential to unlock with these classes - whether it be to get fit, be sexy, or something else, you can achieve your goals at Soma. Mathilda is an amazing instructor and very personable. She makes a point of learning all of her students' names.
Such a positive atmosphere! I have gained great strength and knowledge with an amazing instructor! Mathilda has an upbeat personality and is very understanding! I have felt so welcoming and comfortable every time! I have done three classes and plan for many more! I highly recommend checking Soma Pole Studio out!
Your first pole class at Soma Pole 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.
