I was incredibly nervous to go for my first time, but it ended up being much better than I expected! The Beginner class for pole was amazing, and the instructor was great at showing me everything I needed to know. It had been a long time since I tried something new, and I'm so glad I took the leap.

★★★★★ — Martina, May 2024

It was great. I'm hooked. I absolutely loved vertical fitness. Friendly instructors comfortable atmosphere for the most part. My personality can be a little much. But I don't care. Going to studio X and just taking the first class I was ME.

★★★★★ — Erin, Jan 2024

I have taken a few beginner pole classes and just took my second Lyra class tonight. Everyone I have met there is kind and super patient with their instruction. I love how everyone cheers you on when you nail a move.

Your first pole class at Studio X Vertical 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.

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.
