From the reviews
I’ve been going to classes at Studio Rio’s Twisted Fitness off and on for almost two years, and honestly, if I could go every night, I would. All of the instructors are lovely, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable in the classes they teach.
Twisted Fitness is a treat for sure!!! I love everything about the women there and the new friends I’ve made since I signed up in April. Once you go for the first time, it’s hard not to want to go back. They are all about women empowerment and uplifting women for who we are and where we’re at.
I booked a private birthday party and it was nothing short of amazing. We got a tour when we arrived and information about the history and message behind Rio's studio. Our instructor, Skittles, was a pleasure and had us laughing and learning new skills. My girls and I had so much fun and will definitely do this again.
I've been attending the studio for a year now and can't imagine my life without Studio Rio! My self confidence has improved, I'm regaining lost flexibility and agility and have made a bunch of new friends. When I've had a rough day and I feel like I've been beaten down, I get it all back by attending class. Thank you!!
Bachelorette & private parties at Studio Rio's Twisted Fitness
Studio Rio's Twisted 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 Studio Rio's Twisted 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.
