From the reviews

Jen’s intro class was a perfect blend of fun and flirtiness! She did a great job of helping our group feel welcome and comfortable despite a little anxiousness. My confidence and glutes are grateful for her expertise! Would recommend grabbing your friends and trying it out.

I recently checked out this new pole dancing studio, and I can’t say enough good things about it! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, supportive, and genuinely empowering. As a total beginner, I was a little nervous at first, but the instructors made everything feel approachable and fun.

The entire team is amazing! The studio is so well-done and is always clean. I was lucky to see an ad a few months and sign up as a member. They have great packages (monthly + annual) & even let you try your first class for free to ensure it aligns with what you are looking to accomplish.

★★★★★ — Veronica, Apr 2026

I Love This Place! All the instructors are welcoming and fun! Even as a seasoned poler I still get challenged in all of the classes and learn new ways of incorporating moves/ tricks! If you're looking for a fun or different way of working out, THIS IS IT!

Bachelorette & private parties at Vertica Fitness Lake Zurich

Vertica Fitness Lake Zurich 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 Vertica Fitness Lake Zurich

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.
